A CUESTIOX OF HUMANITY.
EMMA A. OI'I'EK.
Ord way's usual Wednesday evenlnft
call on Mii.s Martin had endured for
five minutes. '-You do not look like
yourself to-night," he prououueed,
meditatively.
A faiut flush warmed ht-r cheeks; her
emotions were always visible thus, as
through a sweet transparency.
''It's your hair," he said; "you
haven't a crimp nor curl. Aud that
dark dress, plain arouud the neck
you look live years older. I don't like
it, either."
(She fpoke her answer firmly, though
her redness deepened.
"I think Mr. Duinont likes it," she
said.
"Duinont?" he echoed. "Lord! is it
for Duinont? It roils him to see you
look so young; is that it? He recalls
the days when In- was your age fifty
years ago, say "
The look in her eyes stopped him.
They always chaffed aud bickered,
but there was something different in
this; something sharper.
"I will not quarrel with you," she
said, "for we are too old Iriends."
This was true. Tbey were the best of
friends. He had lent his influence to
secure her the business position which
she held with a credit born of efficiency,
aud she had in return shown him many
a tactful womanly little favor. Their
friendship, though warm, was strictly
friendship; of that they bad been al
ways rather proud.
"What is it about Dumont, then, Ju-
j lia?" h a.-ked. "What'i up?"
'i tnrjK, sue answertu, "i ougntto
dre8 to please Mr. Dumont, if I can.
He would not like his wife to look so
much younger than himself."
"His- .'"
'He has asked me to marry him; and
I have made up my mind that I will."
It nteded courage to meet Ordway's
look; but Julia had courage.
His gaze was spellbound; it was
incredulous. He felt, suddenly aud
strangely, as if he had never seen her
before. He felt dazed, and f-poke with
difliculty.
"Do you care for him?"
They had scoffed humorously at love;
tbey had even prov-d to their own sat
isfaction that there was in actuality no
such thing. But his question hung be
tween them fraught ith iutensity.
"I respect him."
"You respect the memory of George
Washington, I hope! Heuvens! Is that
all you have to say, Julia?"
"No," she answered him, "it is not.
I am not afraid to tell ;ou, m friend;
no, nor ashamed. I am going to marry
Mr. Dumont because I I want a home.
I don't want Uti always."
The room was agreeable, but it was
conspicuously a boardiug-house parlor.
"No. Well?" he murmured, with
frowning brows.
"Mrs. Crosby you met her, you
know has sent for me to come to Bos
ton and take a position her husband
has waiting for me. It is a better one,
and I should have gone, but Mr. Du
pont had spoken"
"You mentioned that," he remark
ed, tartly.
She rest d her unfaltering clear eyes
on his. She had struggled side by side
with men for her livelihood; she had
knowu life's sterner aspects and its
crabbeder morals but she had kept all
her simplicity and all her gentleness
and her pure depth of candor.
"I could go to Bostou," she said, "or
to London, or Hong Kong, but that
would not help me. I should lie no
nearer a home. I am tired; that is it.
I want somebody that I shall have the
right to depend ou, and trust. What it
would be to have somebody always to
see to checking my trunk, and make
bargains with hackmen, and and al
ways to pay my street-car fare; what it
would be!" she sighed, and beneath
her whimsicality he read her wistful
earnestness.
He felt baflled. He suffered from an
unreasonable but buruingspleen.
"But," lie cried, with energy, "Du
mont! If there must be a victim, why,
of all men, Dumont?"
"Because he wants to be the victim,"
she returned, without resentment.
"Probably he thinks he does. Most
men have spasms of mental aberration,
aud this is Dumont's. Julia, you would
never take advantage of it? Julia, you
couldn't! 1
He had got back his old way with
her which lay between banter aud
mild bullying aud with it bis hold on
himself. He warmed to his subject,
"Married!" he said. Dumont mar
ried! It's inconceivable. Why, it Is
appalling!"
"Many thauks."
"Oh, ou might not make him much
more miserable than auy other woman
would. But, Julia, do you know bow
Dumont puts in his time?"
"He spends some of it"
"Here, yes; that is a serious symptom
of bis attack of lunacy. But what haa
he been doing for the last I won't un
dertake to say how many years? Why,
lounging around the club and absorb
ing the news and refreshing liquids,
going to an occasional stagdiuuer; and
getting new cures for his gout, or neu
ralgia, is it? And taking a hand at
poker now aud then with the boys; and
smoking on pool gardens, and talking
stocks and politics."
"That," Ordway continued, "is what
Dumont does, and he has done it till it
Is a habit with him, like eating and
drinking. It would be a smaller under
taking to throw a steam-engine off the
omei
SOMERSET, PA.,
track than to shunt Dumont otr A'w
track. And what would result for Du
mont? Misery !"
"He seems willing to risk it," she ob
served. "Willing -willing! I tell yu it is
bis loss of mental equilibrium. In such
a case there is degeneration of the gray
cells in the fore part of the cerebrum,
and strange hallucinations are the out
come; any doctor could make it clear
to you. And you would take advan
tage of it? I can not credit it."
She threw back ber head and laughed.
"Don't laugh, I mean it," be said
sharply; and for a space his eyes look
ed into hers.
The long look burned its way through
the something that had interposed ever
between them; the flimsy barrier which
their ignorance and heedlessness had
reared.
"Julia" he faltered. The door-bell
pealed.
"It is Mr. Dumont," she' said, with
trembling lips. "Must you go?"
Eight daya later, Ordway, sitting iu
his office in the heavy gloom and dull
ness which for the past week had held
him Ordway received a letter. It was
from Julia Martin, and it was brief.
"I am going to Breton this afternoon.
Oood-by."
"Oood-by!" he muttered, fiercely
scowling. But all his apathy had fled
on the instant. Bhe was going to Bos
ton. What did that mean?
He sprang to bis feet She was going
that afternoon. "She'll take the boat,"
be hazirded.
It was already past five. He seized
his hat and called a cab and drove
swiftly to Warren street.
Khe was there. She was pacing the
wharf, a dispassionate figure amidst
the bustle of imminent departure. Hue
greeted him with pensive calm.
"I said good -by iu my note," she re
marked. He saw with joy that her hair was
wavy.
"I have not come to say good-by.
Where is Dumont?" he asked.'
"He is cruising around the Sound
with Mr. Blair," she answered, "and
fishing. He had an attack of his neu
ralgia, and I told him it would do him
good to go. I I thought over what
you said; and I saw," she affirmed, not
in humility, but in a rigor of pride,
"that it is true. It would have been a
mistake I from the first I feared it.
And I almost think he agreed with
me, in his heart.- So, after all, I am
not going to have a home. I am going
to B-istou." She smiled bravely.
., "Those are misstatements," he an
swered "lioth."
"What do you mean ?"
"You h'iV have a home, and you will
nofgoto Boston," he returned; though
he spoke to the back of her head, sud
denly averted. "As I reckon it, we
have been fools for four years, and that
is long enough, Julia."
She faced him with valiant resist
ance. "I won't consider it," she declared;
"it is mental aberration."
"If you say so; but it is chronic It is
hopeless."
"1 should be cruel to take advantage
of it inhuman."
"No, no; you are inhuman to con
fuse me with Dumont, that is all.
What are we dawdling here for?
Comer'
' "I can't," she gasped; "my trunk U
on the boat."
"No matter. It is not your trunk,"
said Ordway, with rude and joyous
laughter, "that I am going to marry."
Her check were tenderly flushed
and her lashes moist.
"We shall always quarrel," she mur
mured, faiutly.
"And I," he answered, "shall always
come out ahead in the second round."
He defied conventionality and the cold
hearted onlookers, and put his arm
around her. And they watched while
the bont pulled off.
As They Baal
The native American is very slow t
acknowledge the claims of hereditary
dignity.
The daughter of General Dash a mil
itary leader, idolized in one section of
the couutry after the civil war, entered
a fruit store one day and ordered a bush

"See that you snd the largest ones,"
she said sharply, to the fruiterer.
"They are sold as they run," he said.
"If I pick out the large ones, the price
will be higher."
I am accustomed to have choice
goods of ail kinds seut to me. You
probably do not knor who I am," the
lady stud haughtily.
"I do not, madam. My customers
are all served alike."
"I am Miss Dash, the daughter of
General Dash," she said:
"Indeed?" said the dealer, in a quiet
tone." "1 served under your father for
three years, and I can ouly say that be

Tne lady retreated and took the ap

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20. 1899.
Old Pennsylvania Ciiarcii.es.
Many of the famous old churches of
Pennsylvania were endowed with large
tracts of land by William Penn or his
descendants. From ancieut records it
appears that wherever a congregation
of any denomination was organized the
proprietors gave land liberally for its
support. Some of these properties have
been sold as congregations moved, but
almost every old endowed Presbyterian
church in the S:ate still stands as a me
morial of Penn's liberality and the per
severance of the Calvinists. These
early churches seem to have had a p
litical as well as religious significance,
for they are no regarded as the nurs
eries of the local aristocracy.-
Donegal church is especially distin
guished in this respect, as it is still sup
ported by the descendants of the early
founders who hare been fur generations
landowners in Lancaster county. Lo
cated some 15 miles from the city of
Lancaster, aud seven miles from the
town of- ML Jy, this congregation,
composed chiefly of the country fami
lies, has for one hundred aud seventy
five years of worship uuder the hal
lowed roof been untainted by invasion
of the newly rich.
Donegal church was built iu 1721, oc
cupied in 17:22, and around the sacred
edifice lie the graves of five and six
generations of the descendants of the
early founders. One thiug which bat
preserved the integrity of the sacred
edifice is its large landed possessions.
Some of these lauds have been sold
from time to time and the proceeds in
vested as a smtaliiing fund. With a
portion of the money so received a
daughter church was built at Mt. Joy.
The Lancaster Presbyterian church,
which u kuown as Donegal chapel, has
a wealthy congregation of the grand
children and great-grandchildren of the
patriarchs of the ancient fane where
once the sturdy pioneers sat at the pew
doors with guns beside them, to be
ready for a sudden Indian onslaught
From this same old D:ue: hI, now but a
hamlet of half a dozen bouses, went
three fiiuilies, who iu the courie of
time had seven sons each, to settle at
the foot of the AUegher.ies. In al! the
Indiau wars these families never once
sought the shelter of the forts erected
for the protection of the settlers. The
seventh son of the Baties was the very
flo-er of the foresL He feared an In
dian no more than he did a bear, and
not one of these twenty -one fearless
men was ever killed by a red man. It
is said that these Donegal Presbyterians
were such fine lighters that one of the
Penns persuaded them to move to the
Cumberland Valley, where they could
tight each other. Every ten years the
rtcot eh-Irish Prtlij tcrians of Pennsyl
vania assemble themselves together and
recite the deeds of their ancestors, and
it is amazing to see how the society
belles and gay young sprigs of fashion
on such occasions preen and plume
themselves ou being Children of the
CoveuauL
One of the most important of the
Peon grant churches is the First Pres
byterian church of Pittsburgh. The
land is located in tiie heart of the bus
iness city, on Wood-st, between Fifth
and Sixth-aves. The building is of
jrray stone, with handsome architectu
ral features and all modem.
There still worship some of the de
scendants of the early pioneers, but it
has been so long the open sesame of
fashion to belong to the old First Pres
byteran church, and the influx of
wealth has been so great, that the Cov
enant itself would le very much sur
prised could it jieep down on its child
ren. Among the Penn church grants was
a little plot of ground on the east side
of Washington Square, where the Ro
man Catholics built a chapel that stood
for Christ, while still half-savage negro
slaves held their midnight fires and su
perstitious rites on the west side of the
same Washington Square. On the
south side of the square the First Pres
byterian church of Philadelphia has
stood for two hundred years, and in
the southwest angle is the staid acd
stately mceting-hotue of the Orthodox
Friends, or Qiakers. Such a univer
sal'ry of religious toleratiou is sufficient
in itself to make the name of Penn im
mortal. A House of Sorrow.
The Colouel baited his horse in front
of a Dakota dugout and uttered a vig
orous "He!;.; and after a minute a
tow-headed girl of about hi years of age
showed up and looked him over and
said:
"Now, then, what ye whoopin' fur,
and who be ye?"
"Can I get anything to eat here?"
"Not a thing."
"Any water for my horse?"
"The spring's gone dry."
"How far is it to the rivtr?"
"Dunno."

"Haven't you got a brother?"
"Yep, but he got snake-bit yesterday
aud don't feel well."
"Well, what about yon?" persisted
the Colonel. ''You seem to be all
right."
"Ob, but I ain't," she replied, as she
mule ready to disappear. "I was to git
married yesterday, but my feller got
shot by an Injun, and it'll take two
weeks to ketch on to another. This ar'
a house of sorrow, sir, and you will
please to ride on aud uot ask any more
fool questions."

Roadside Trees.
Country roads can be made far more
useful aud attractive than they usually
are, and this may be secured by the ex
penditure of only a small amount of
labor and money. Although such im
provements are not necessary, they
make the surrounding attractive and
inviting and add to the value of prop
erty and the pleasure of the traveler.
Not only should brush and weeds be
removed from the roadside, but grass
should ha sown, trees planted and a
side path or walk be prepared for the
use of women, children aud other pe
destrians going to aud from caurcti,
school and places of busiuess aud
amusement.
If trees are planted alongside the road

growing trees are apt to extend their
roots under the gutters aud even be
neath the roadway if they are planted
too close to the roadside. Even if they
be planted at a safe distance those va
rieties should tie selected which send
their roots downward rather than hori

quirements la the chestnut, while cer

mulberry answer the situ? pjrposj.

A Natural Bridge in Ariz ana.
Natural Bridge, on Pine Creek, in
the northern part of Gila county, is
oue of the greatest natural curiosities
in the United States, equaling if not
surnstssing the Natural Bridge of Vir
ginia. It spans the creek at a height
of atiout 2K) feet, and the walls of the
ctiiou rise above il on either side ') or
S9J feet, and on one side form a erpen
dicular precipice. The bridge is of
lime formation, and the inside of the
great arch, which is some 2"J feet
across, is worn by the water as smooth
as though chiseled by the skillful bund
of a stonemason. The arch on top :s
nearly, if not quite, 4;M feet in width,
liXJO feet in length, across the canon,
and at the thinnes: tart only six feet
through. About the centre of the arch
is a bole large euough to admit the

Largest Chinese Carg3.
The steamship Ping Suey, which has
arrived from Hongkong ou her maiden
trip, brought the biggest cargo that
ever came from China to an American
port on the Atlantic coast.
Her consignment of tea is by far the
largest ever brought to this city. There
are ",.113 packages, :;2,'Jtl half chests
and 2i),7il boxes of this commodity
alone, which fools up roughly in weight
about S.oOO.OOJ pounds.
The vessel has brides hundreds of
tons of fire crackers and matting from
China, several tous of tin from Singa
pore and a big assortment of silks aud
curios and a large consignment of ani
mals. The tonnage of the Ping Suey
is 4,1 0, and she carries a crew of 7
men, mostly Cingaies aud Lascars.
Suewau, Foes & Co., l(i Beaver-st, are
her ageuts.
The Ping Suey has been chartered
to load grain at Philadelphia for Rot

would be fairly good evidence of the
approximate date of their marriage,
If the rule were applied to the case cf j
Brigham II. Roberts it would argue !
that he did not take his last plural I
until iu the spring cf lv)7, for not
until then did Maggie C. Shipp change
her name publicly to Margaret C. Rob-,

theentries f r successive years in the j

that iu the spring of '07 she changed j
her came iu the book of telephone j
subscribers; by the fact that she chang
ed, from Shipp to Roberts, her signa
ture on her prescriptions, aud by the
fact that in April of that year she re
quested Dr. Luella Miles to change
ber name on the rolls of the medical
society.
The question naturally arises: If
Ilolirt married her before the issuance
of mauifesto, why did siio contiuuefor
seven years to bear the name of another
man-pue who had been convictet! aud
imprisoned foe, unlawful cohabitation
with her and others? Why did she
continue for three years to occupy a
place of residence rented by Mil ford
B. Shipp and later by himself and an
other wife ?
I u the absence of legal documentary
evidence, such as a divorce from Shipp
or a license to marry Roberts (beiog a
plural of both, she could obtain neith
er, exept from the church), Mr".

It is possible for R iberts to hive
married her, according tochtirrh rites,
necretly, before the manifesto, but even
then hisofreuse was hardly less blame
worthy than it would have been if the
marriage were more recent, because at
tiie time of the issuance of the mani

It's not si much matter when we do
