"TWIN FARM."
I stood upon the platform of the
flppot nt ft little New England village
one bright June morning, having a few
minutes before alighted from the train.
I wns on my wny to necoit the Invita
tion of n relative to visit him in his
country home, nnd had expected to llntl
him awaiting me nt the station. There
had boon a misunderstanding, appar
ently, In regard to the time I was to Ar
rive, nud tlm not very pleasant pros
pect of having to "foot It" some four
nilli-s was before mo.
While I stood there a moment, RAth
erlng counifro to start upon my Journey,
a flne-looklnK younft farmer fame rid
ing by, niul on seeing me be stopped bis
horse, and kindly inquired If I Intended
golnc his way. After nseertalniiiK in
what direction "bis way" lay, I frlntlly
accepted his Invitation to "Jump In,"
and wns soon speciline along the pleas
ant country road lehind the ycting
farmer's plump iron-pray.
As I had anticipated from his pleas
ant countenance, I found my compan
ion giKid nntured and quite communi
cative ns we rode along. IIo enter
tained me with pleasant talk upon vari
ous subjects; and as we would pass nn
occasional farmhouse, be would spenK
of lis inmates, of their character, pros
pects, and family history, with that
freedom which characterizes the aver
age New KiiKhtnd farmer.
Presently, at a considerable dis
tance ahead, there came Into view the
buildings of a large farm. The trim
white dwelling, with the conventional
gVern hi I in Is, seemed to nestle beneath
the? protecting arms of two largo eliU
tnes. Two large barns with their at
tendant. In the form of numerous
bIum's of various rIzcs, appeared close
by cLad In a suit of dark red; all these
stan-Has as they did amid bright green
VeVIs made a most beautiful picture,
and I remarked as much to my com
panion. "Yes. rlr," ho replied, "that't Twin
I'ano, and It's called tho beet farm In
the county. It's where I'm bound for
to-day, and I'm rather proud to Bay I
work tliere."
I bad often seen such farms as this
appeared to be, and bad often found"
them to belong to rich city merchants
who worked them mostly as a means
'of S-Tidi"g their money that would
therwise go for yachts, blooded horse
esh, etc., nnd. so I asked if this farm
was run for pleasure or profit.
'l-lh." was the reply. "Perhaps
yoiiM lite to bear a little about that
farm; It's got a rather interesting his
tory." continued my friend.
"Certainly," said I; and he liegnn as
follows:
"Old Ahrnni Hodge was a farmer ol
the gd eld sort. About forty yeair
go be li!ilt a house nnd barn where
you see the buildings yonder, and went
to work to Improve tho hundred acre;

WHEN THs- COWS COME
Pill Clothes.
Tho pood pill has a good coat. The pill coat
r.orves two purposes; it protects the pill, en
abling it to retain all its remedial value, and it
disguises the taste for the palate. Some pill
cents aro too heavy; they will not dissolve in
tho stomach, and the pills they cover pass
through the system as harmless as a bread
psllet. Other coats are too light, and permit the
ppoortr deterioration of tho pill. After 30 years
exposure, Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills' have been
louud as effective as if just fresh from tho labor
atory. It's a good pill with a good coat. Ask

I W rock was d0' out and the bote filled
I np; and be never quit this practice until
I every cultivated field w aa free from
! stone as this same fatm to ftWffom
profit for thrflmt fife feuftitM the
old man died.
"Old Abranj Dodge bad great faith
in hard work and bis wife's common
sense. Tbcee two things be said bad
made his life a success; and wben one
day, while In the field, he was told that
his wife bad died suddenly while about
her usual work, be left tbe plough
standing- where It was, and never went
back to It, but In less than a year he
was laid at rest beside bis wife, bis
lifework ended.
"Well, Abram left one son, John,
who was the possessor of many fine
fancies, and an education considerably
better than tbat possessed by any other
young man In tbe neighborhood, and
to this son be left the farm and about
ten thousand dollars In cash. Besides
these, tbe old man left tbe son a good
example, but John Dodge was so
pleased with tbe farm and tbe cash
that he forgot all about this but men
tioned bequest.
"John believed In display, and began
to show It Be tore down tbe old barn
and built two larger ones, and apenf
nearly two thousand dollars In modern
izing the house.
"The farm bad always been known
as tbe 'Dodge Place,' but this didst
sound quite fancy enough to suit
John's Ideas, so be gave It the name of
Twin Farm,' on account of tbe new
barns being alike and tbe elm trees
resembling each other. Be said pretty
loudly and pretty often that he'd sfcow
the folks around there tbat there was
money In scientific farming a fct
believe In myself, wben accompanied
by a little common sense.
"lie hired a large force of men, and
bought about every kind of a machine
Intended for farm nee he could bear of.
no went In for fancy stock, too spqBt
a small fortune for a small hord of cat
tle of a reputed famous breod tbat
never amounted to much ercept to at
tract quite a number of visitors to look
at them. Ills horses were ail high
priced; three of them he boasted could
trot Inside of two twenty; and every
thing else about the place ahowed tbe
owner's love of 'making a spread.'
"John never had much head for fig
ures, and so wben his account txcan
to get a little "mixed' be engaged a
young lady bookkeeper from tho city
to take charge of them. Hbe was
smart and pretty, and John told quite
number, confidentially, that If she
proved to bo the woman be took ber to
be, she might become mistress of the
farm some time.
Well, things ran along for about five
years. When one fine morning John
Dodge awoke to the fact tbat his cash
bad all been Invested in fancy stock
nd scientific farming apparatus, and
worso still, that bis affairs in general
were hopelessly involved
There was but one thing left for
him to do. ITe knew that by disposing
of the farm ho could probably save two
three thousand dollars from SAe
wreck; and his self-conceit, which wftS
prominent trait In hla character,
prompted him to think that with this
capital ho could engage In some busi
ness In the city, and soon become rich
enough to buy half tho town In which
he had been born, and where thus far
he bnd been a failure;.
"Another thing, also, he decided to
do. The young bookkeeper had proved
to be all he had supposed her to be, a
woman worthy to be the wife of even'
John Dodge, and he determined to en
lighten her In icgnrd to this fact, nnd
ask ber to assist and share in bis future
brilliant career. He had never spoken
to her upon this subject, but he took it
for granted that he would receive a
favorable answer, as he eoP8lduref
himself a prize of considerable magni
tude In the matrimonial market. He
entered the little office where she pra-
slded, nnd after bis pleasant greeting
bad leen returned, he said:
"'Well, Miss Colburn, I'm thinking
very strongly of selling tho farm.'
" 'IndeedP replied the boookkeeper.
" 'Yes, he continued, "I begin to think
I can make more money in tho com
mercial world. I have made my plans.
nnd have now come to you to imslst mo
in carrying them out. Will you do so 7"
" 'I have always been faithful, I
think, to your Interests, and shall con-
tlnue to be, was tbe bookkeeper's an
swer.
"Thus encouraged, John Dodge asked
her to be bis wife, but the little woman
very coolly told blm she was sorry to
disappoint him, but that she was al
ready engaged to a young man who
worked upon his farm.
"At this Jthn was so taken aback
that he sat th.jre, not knowing what rj
say, when the little woman continued
" 'You spoke Just now of sellloz the
farm; at a reasonable price, I tbldk I
enn get you a customer.' "
My friend paused here, and I quietly
said;
"I think If I were to guess who Is at
pre""" t ha mistress ofTwln Farm, I
should say the bookkeeper.'
"Right you are sold my friend; "and
there's another fact which perhaps yon
wouldn't guess; I'm the farm-hand who
bought tbe place,"
I extended my hand to my friend In
congratulation, and presently asked:
"What liecaiuc of John Dodge?"
"Well, after he sold the farm and haJ
settled up, be bad aliout twenty-five
hundred dollars left; this he took to the
city and Invested in what I never could
quite make out, hut he would come to
tho nelgblMrhood occasionally In a
swell suit and a beaver bat, and once
he hinted to me that If a man wanted
to make money he'd better quit farm
ing. I told him If I wanted to make
money, probably I'd quit farming; but
is my object In life happened to be to
;et an honest living and to have a
happy home, I guessed I wouldn't
hange my occupation.
"That was some years bnck, - but
tliout a wek ago be turned up here
gain, and this time be dldnt wear a
eeaver bat, and his clothes were about
is seedy sTb aHy I eve Krw. He. satd
he waa eat of mo nary, and out of an
employment that Would earn bln
victuals.
"I mentioned these facts to my wife,
and she said that out of respect for past
acquaintance she would advise me ui
tart blm In business. I looked at ber
la surprise, for, you see, although we
are getting along splendidly, the place
Tost a large sum of money, and we were
planning to pay tbe last few hundred
lollars upon it soon; so I wondered why
he should advise me to do such a tblntf
as to led money to John Dodge.
Ton don't understand me,' said she;
and then she explained bow I could
tart him in business without any grea
expenditure of funds; and as t saw. as
I usually do, the wisdom of ber sugges
tions, I acted upon them; In short, I
bought him Just tbe best wood-saw I
could find In tbe village, and wben you
get to your uncle's. If you will go
around Into tbe woodshed, you'll find
him there at tbe only business be ever
made a success of."
We were now drawing near to the
bouse, and standing upon tbe piazza I
saw a bright little woman, and by ber
side I saw two beautiful children. Up
on tbe faces of this lovely trio, aa they
caught sight of tbe approaching wagon.
there beamed a welcome, making a
scene not calculated to soothe the feeV
Inge of aa old bachelor like myself.
"I thank you very much for your
kindness," said I, preparing to spring
out of tbe wagon; "and I congratulate
you upon having such a lovely family
and home."
My friend did not stop, but drove lnte
the yard, saying, pleasantly:
"Your uncle lives about a mile farther
en, but I shall not allow you to go untlj
after dinner."
Be stopped the horse, and tbe twe
children came running up with a merry
shout, and were soon In the arms of the
happy father, and next I saw them
seated, one upon each shoulder, andl
with them thus mounted he turned t I
me, and said.
"There's one thing more I might tel
you. About two years after Jennl
and I were married and settled dowi
hero, we thought a good deal abou
changing tbe name of the farm. Wi
liked the name "Clover Lea' pretty well,
and had almost concluded to have It
painted In big letters upon the roofa
of the barns, when something hap
pencd that changed our plans. You see!
It's quite natural for a young husband
to want a son, and also Just as natural
for a young wife to wish for a dangb
ter. WelL It so happened that Jennie1
and 1 got our wish at tbe same time.
and so we made up our minds that the
name of the farm was all right Just a
It was." Boston True Flag.
LUCK IN THE MINING CAMPS.

in the For tones of Gold Seeker.
"I could have owned half the Enter.

gram from Denver had not announced
the decision of the doctors to nse ths
knife on my baby boy for hernia. !

These were the words of a gentlei
man seated with a group of prosjeC)
tors a lew evenings ago wnicn iva no
a number of stories relating to sim
ilar Incidents.
I knew a man more fortunate than
myself, however, who availed his op.
portunlty," continued the speaker,
"Dave Brown, of Aspen, gave a pros
pector $75 worth of lumber and go
:ne-fourth of the Aspen mine. Brown
was then a store clerk. lie Is now a
millionaire, banker and operator.
"It Is not always management that
tecures a fortune," ventured another
if the group. "It was luck, pure anil
itmplc, that made Dave Swlckhelmer
millionaire. Ho knew nothing about
mining, but a miner told him to sink
tnd he did sink. He ran out of money
several times, but others who wer
interested In learning what great oi
lepths would encounter on Dolores
mountain loaned various sums, and
it last a lucky lottery ticket drew
M.000 and this money reached the orr
In the Enterprise mine.'
"Yes, luck has a great deal to do with,
it," said the third speaker. "Several
people In Durango bad an opportunity

"Chances like that are often over

Testis)': a 8toraaeBattery.
A novel test was lately applied to

Id England bave considerably changed

bave been actively engaged In dia
coverng and following- up every clew
that seemed to po'nt to tbe exist
ence of bidden bombs or Infernal ma
chines. A mild and Inoffensive
student of electrical engineering was
passing along Regent street tbe other
day with a small accumulator nnder
bis arm, wben two stalwart members
of tbe police force came up, and he
was seized from benlnd by toe shoul
ders and bustled Into a aide street
Tbe student waa overwhelmed with
surprise and fear, and thought of all

trying to account for he wretched
plight In dlapalr be was about to
exclaim that be would "go quietly"
when tbe zealous limbs of tbe
law demanded tbat be should
show tbe contents of bis mysterious
package With a fearlessness with
which idl cy was strongly Diendea,
they tapped and shook tbe case, and
thon permitted tbe student to un
screw the top of tbe awful box . and
dlclose to view the plates and tbe
acid solution. One of the policemen,
anxious for promotion, was not satis

some of the solution ran onto his
hand. The box was handed back to
tbe student In double-quick time.
and, to tbe accompaniment of a suc

marks, the policeman executed a
lively dance on tbe sidewalk. Tbe

TEN-FOOT DRIVING WHEELS.
Type of Locomotive TJaed la En(laad
Fifty Tears Ace.
English locomotives have always been
conspicuous for the great size of the
driving wheels. While the drivers of
American locomotives are usually less
than six feet in diameter, Severn or
eight feet Is not uncommon among Eng
lish engines, and In the early days of
railroading It was believed that tbe
best results were to be obtained by the
OLD-TIUB STEAM ESOIXB.
use of wheels of even larger size. On
engines built for fast running a single
pair of hugs driving wheels seems to
have been a distinguishing feature
since tho earliest days of locomotive
construction. In England that type of
engine is still a familiar one.
The accompanying sketch, which was
sent to the Engineer, London, by John
Wilson, of Glasgow, shows the outline
of a locomotive with driving wheels
ten feet In diameter, which was built
in Glasgow fifty years ago. Two or
more of these engines were built bnt

CHARLES B. SKMiaO.
GIRLS AS STENOGRAPHERS.
Advise Tbaae Who Intend Btady
fats; Saort-Haad.
Of tbe many 8 elds of usefulness
now nnen to women, one has proved
p easant and proOtablo to many, and
may prove so to many more stenog-
rapby, or short-band, says a wo 1 an
In tbe Country ueni eman. j rue
there are numbers already In the Meld,
but there is room for good stenogra
phers, and will be for years to c me.
Business men are daily coming to ap
preciate their need of stenographers,
and are learning tbe real worth of a
good one and the utter use essness of
a poor one There are many Incom
petent stenographers, and tbey pro e
a great hindrance to those really pre
pared for tbelr work. A business
man who decides to employ a short
band writer, and secures tbe service
of a poor one to start with, Is not
apt to be favorably Impressed with
stenographers as a class, and perhaps
can scarcely be persuaded to make
another trial.
A word of warning to those about
to undertake tbe study of short
hand: It is not more difficult to
master than many other studies,
neither does it re iuire peculiar adap
tation, as many suppose, but It does
need a tboroagb r-ngiish education
back of It Unless girls are familiar
with the rules of grammar, composi
tion, spoiling, and the studies of this
kind, tbeir time wlil be more profit
ably spent acquiring this knowledge
than In poring over tbe outlines of
short-hand. A good plain band-
writing is also essential, or at least
advisable, though many think that
If they are able to operate a type
writer rapidly, tbe nature of tbeir
penmanship Is of little importance.
We find girls plenty of them
who have passed through a course at
a business college, and can show
diplomas stating tbelr ability to
write a certain number of words
minute, and yet these gins win as
sure you tbat they wasted tbeir time
In tbe study, since tbey bave ben
unsuccessful in securing poslt'ons.
Of course tbey were unsuccessful. I?
it to be supposed tbat a business
man wants such girls? Let us peep
over tbelr shoulders as tbey work.
Yes; they can write 150 words a
minute, but here is a girl who writes
In such haste that she cannot read
her notes correctly, and is not to r e
relied on; here is another who never
mastered ber spell ng-book, and
makes unpardonable errors in spell
lof;-tb.ere h another who is in a
state of bewilderment as to where
the capital letters and punctuation
marks belong, and is continually get
ting ber sentences into a hopeless
tangle. Common sense should tcil
one tbat there is no place in a busi
ness office for such girls, and it is
worse than folly for tbem to ap)ro
to such, positions until they arc fitted
ior tnem.
Tbe girl who cannot only secure a
position, but retain it, is the ono
who can write ber notes with moder
ate rapidity, can transcribe them
accurately, write neatly either with
pen or typewriter, and can hand to
dor employer a letter the sentences
of which are correct In construction,
punctuated as tbey should be. and
containing no misspelled words or
misplaced capitals. A girl wh Is In
tell gent, possesses a common school
education, is level-headed and dig
n fled, is tbe lri to fit herself for of
fice work. She will adapt herself to
ber surroundings, sec the tblugs that
need to be done and perform them
quietly and without flurry, and ere
l ng her employer will wonder bow
tbe office work was done without her.
For such girls there is yet a wide
field of labor, and they need hav
little hesitancy in preparing for the
work. Let me repeat that thorough
ness of preparation Is necessary in
tbls as in every undertaking, for the
time has gone by wben shoddy labor
will be accepted In any department
Hut wltb ordinary Intelligence, care
ful preparation and honest effort,
success is not far distant for the
would-be girl stenographer.

1 hla con

100,000 women to
write Mrs. Pinkbam for
advice during the last few months.
Think what a volume of experience
she has to draw from ! No physician
living ever treated so many cases of
female ills, and from this vast experi
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your cane.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi
cine 13 not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so, and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never In the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
