I've brought you up genteel and genteel you've- got to stay while you stay with mo und your pa." "Il'mp! That's likely to be always, tho didoes you cut up," her spinster sister-in-law, Miss Mary-Bet, sniffed. "I'atieuce knows, if I had a girl like Louiza, comin' on twenty-one, nnd four more a-crowdin' her, I'd In? glad and thankful of any chance to show her off. And I'd like to have you tell me what there is against a candy pull? Dear knows, I've seen better'n you at 'em nud lmvin' a mighty good time." Miss Mary-Bot bad "means;" hence her outspeaking. Squire March had charged his wife never to argue with her. Therefore that lady contented herself with a mild retort. "I can't say as it's real sinful, un less they mean to have playin' after ward. And I hope you don't think I hold with them kissin' games." "I don't know but you'd better," Miss Mary-Bet said rumiuatively. "I say let Louiza go, and Mary-Bet and Sally too." "My! That would be a team of Marches," Mrs. March said, drawing down the corners of her mouth. Miss Mary-Bet got up decisively. "There's goin' to be four Marches," she announced. "I'm goin' myself. I know the Peterses would 'a' asked me if they hadn't thought it wasn't wuth while. And I'm goin' to take my nieces and buy 'em a new frock and rib bons and shoes. Don't you say a word, Hannah! One old maid in the family is more'n enough." Mrs. March gasped; she was past speech. Miss Mary-Bet was commonly so close with her money her present liberal mind was in the nature of a miracle. But if she repented it she held fast to her word and trotted off a week later to the IVterses in the high est possible feather. Louiza was gorgeous in a plaid frock —green, blue and purple: Mary-Bet junior sported a scarlet delaine, and little Sally, a yellow haired fairy who THE NEXT MINUTE HE HI*. LENGTH ON yARP?'?. looked Ukv. a changeling among her ilg'h colored brunette sisters, was in roblu egg with little reliefs of white. Miss Mary-Bet herself was a picture of elegance in a span new Muck silk. Mrs. March declared ic was tempting providence to wear such a thing where (nolasses candv was* »o to abound, but Mi si; Mary-Bet had only tossed her head and marched off with it some thing higher than usual. She was rising forty, also fat and fair. Iler sharp tongue and ways had kept men rather !t; awe of her. Now that jtuui was past she began to nee that the world wagged Uialnly for married folk, so she had made up her mind to marry her nieces out of hand \u s»pite of their (pother Loulza was not much of a problem. She was so kindly and sweet spirited, withal so much a born economist, at least three personable widowers were thought to be on tenterhook* about her, each waiting the lucky chance that would let him speak his wish. All Ckf them would be at the candy pull, and each should have his chance. "Miss Mary-Bet had cautioned Lou lza not to be precipitate. "Don't let any man have it to throw up to you that you couldn't get anybody eise," she had said. "You Jost listen to all of 'em and say yo.u gotter have time to maku up your mind. Then you can take your pick. Shucks, don't tell me you won't get It! You'd 'a' been mar ried long ago if your ma'd bad the senso of a gooso. She's kept you tied right to her apron string and never let anybody name courtln' that she wasn't right there to stop the whole thing." Mary-Bet junior was a handful even without the red frock. Her godmother was none too fond of her—they were too nearly off the sume jviucu. The most eligible e* ii»e widowers had shown symptoms of wavering when ever he found himself in Mary-Bet Junior's vicinage—he was tinder thirty. If Loulza hud the bad taste to pre for one oir the others, Miss Mary-Bet rctiectcd, tho wandering and waver ing might lie turned to account, llcnry May could hardly be calh-d a real widower—he had but married hi® sweetheart on her deathbed for the privilege of SOothing her last fev&red liours. That was five years back, so he had been wonderfully constant. It was only this last year that he hud been seen anywhere but at church. Sally's blue eyes were still those of h child—at least to the casual glance. Looking to their depths, there was something more. Sally had light, small feet and moved like thistledown in summer airs \Vli«*n tUe playing Vegan she was the star. She hud not shone in the candy pulling; it was hard work, and, besides, she hated her pulling partner, Sandy Roberts, It niado her almost sick to touch hands with lilui in the folding of their candy skein. After tho first time she had let go the candy, thereby giving Sandy a fall or so. He meant to get even with her In the playing by choosing her out of the very first ring ami kissing her not once, but many times. i'ossibly Sally ausyecM •»» much j £crtaUM> shu fought shy of any ring 1 where be stood up. 8lac« h«JgM ft lino sinper ninl a ready leader, that cut her out of in my tilings, but site di<l not very mncli uilnd. Silas Venn, tho oldest and slaidest of tho widowers, eouiehow took her under lii« protection and saw to it that she was not lone some. Miss Mary-Bet chuckled to see It. "Thinks he's same as In the family and bein' >rood to little Sis," she said to herself, adding after a breath, ' but. unless I miss my jruess. he's goin' to get the sack. Louiza looks like she plum' TV Topped up in John Trotter; he's been teliin' her ail about the cir cuses he's went to ever since the call come to pull candy." Evidently .lohu was much flattered, lie talked on and on through "Swing Old I.iza," through "Mister Bluster," through "Oats, Peas, Beans and Bar ley" and to the beginnings of "Snap." "Suai>" forbids conversation, albeit it is destitute of singing. Louiza was a beautiful runner, a swift and sure catcher. What need to add that she was ruthlessly snapped on to the floor almost as soon as ever she sat down? Sandy Roberts, in especial, got her out whenever ho could, and since he was tho life of the game that was very often. But when, in the course of play, she became part of the stump, he thought it wojild be great sport to get himself irregularly the pursuer of Sal ly. lie caught her, of course, although she made him pant for it. and would not let her go until ho had given her a resounding smack. The next minute he measured his length on the rag car pet. Silas Venn's list had sent him there, and Silas himself stood over him with eyes that said plainly, "Come out side and settle it." Then something happened; something to talk about for at least a generation. Louiza, the meek and mild, the gentlest creature livin-r. tietv at Silas in a rage, shook him hard and whirled him aside, then stooped over the prostrate Sandy, half sobbing: "If—if he hurt you, I'll kill him: Get up, Sandy, darliu'. I don't care who knows now." Sandy rose to his feet, to the occasion. "There's a mix got to be straightened up, folks," he said, catching tight hold of Louiza's hand. "We're goin' to mar ry next week, if we have to run away. I've been waitin' and waitiu' till she said I might tell the old folks. They don't like me, but they'll have to lump me." "Sandy, 1 beg your pardon! Shake! I thought you were after somebody else," Silas Venn said joyously, edging to Sally's side. "I'm goin' to speak out, too," she said. "If Sally won't have me I'll stay a lone widower till the end o' my days. llow is it, little gal?'' "Humph! Look at her face.

The execution of tho "Mnglc Flute" overture by 1,200 voices was very uncommon and surprising by the New York clubs and was received with great applause. The Eintrachts of Newark sang "Wallisischci" Hchlf fergesang" in a manner. But the most in n !"iLcd performance was Martin Luther's "Ein Fest« Burg Ist fuscr Gott," arranged by Flnke.

The prophet was taking a stroll in the country when he saw a serpent, stiff with cold, lying on the ground. He compassionately took it up and warmed It in bis bosom. When the serpent had recovered it said: "Divine prophet, listen. 1 am now going to bite thee." "Why, pray?" inquired Mohammed. "lie. ause thy rnco penjuCviieM mine and U'ie» u< stamp it out." "Hut does not thy race, too, rnukc perpetual war against mlueV" was tho urooUtit'B raluladur. "Uow l-esldes, bo so ungrateful ami so soon for not that I saved thy life'*" "There is no such thing as pratitude r.poa tills earth," replied the serpent, "ami if I were now to spare thee either thou or another of thy race would kill me. By Allah, -1 shall bite thee." "If thou hast sworn by Allah, I ,will not cause thee to l>reak thy vow," saw the prophet, holding his hand to tad serpent's mouth. The serpent bit'him, but he sucked the wound with hlstUpS and spat the venom on the ground. And on that very spot there sprantc up a plant which combines withirr It self the venom of tho serpent nnd the compassion of the prophet. Men cltll this plant by the name of tobacco.— Oonte Arabe.

It is a summer in Italy; the hot, white roads radiate heat as do the blank faces of the houses. There Is not a soul stirring at this hour except a party of sightseeing Americans; they are evidently mad, for they do not keep In the shade, which, from the Italian point of view, Is far more lacking in intelligence than not "knowing enough to go in when it rains." It is interesting to note that while tho summer beats down pitilessly until Italy is seethed in a white heat the death rate from heat prostration is far loss iu projiorHon than with us in our uiore temperate climate, and for the reason that the Italians walk religious ly on the shady side of the street, if anything takes them abroad before the cool of the day; and that every man, woman aud child for whom It impos sible spends the middle of the day in a cool costume indoors. Fortunately it is possible for the ma jority, for during the hot weather many factories give two or three hours for the nooning, and that is why our town presents the appearance of a deserted village, Iu the latter part of the afternoon the evening breeze springs up and* the town awakes and resumes the work which was begun in tho early morning. If you happen to dine in the garden bf the little Hotel Italia and stroll around the gardou after dlnuer, you may, by following up one of the gravel walks, come upon a sort of out (4 doors room screened off from the garden by closo growing evergreens and shaded by tall trees. An acetylene gas jet sheds a strong lighten a table and there, out of doors in the cool of the evening breeze, a woman Is ironing. Tho irons are heated by two tiny charcoal flres made in earthen braziers, which resemble large square flowerpots. Annunclata does not need a range standing six feet In its stockings to heat her four irons. It is doubtful if she has ever seen such a range in her life, for, though she is the cook of tho hotel, to which is attached a restaurant, and many people take their meals there dally, sho uses less fuel in her cooking arrange ments than the average American fam ily would use to cook simple meals. In the cool of the morning she folded and sprinkled her clothes, did the morning work early and then rested. Now she sings as she works In tho fresh evening air. Although people are dining at the stone tables in the garden, she is as romoto from them as if she were working in a hot kitchen. There la a lesson to l>e drawn from these two pictures, and that is that we Americans are often sacrificed at the altar of our own prosperity, and go through life wearily carrying on our backs a load of modern improvements. —Mary Henton Vorse in Good House kecnlntSf THE GOOD OLD DAYB.

WANT 3 BIG REPUBLICAN VICTORY His Visit to the York County Fair Will Not Be Simply to See the Prlz* Cattle. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Aug "President Itoosevelt is not going to the York county fair simply to see the prize bulls, you can depend upon that," remarked a well-informed Washington correspondent a few days ago in dis cussing the president's anticipated visit to Pennsylvania next month. This newspaper man is in touch with mem bers of the cabinet and other leading officials of the national administration, and he knows the keen interest tha president and all of those associated with him are manifesting in the com ing election While it is possible that at the dedi cation of the new capltol building hero the president may not touch upon poli tics, there Is reason to believe that in his remarks subsequently at the York county fair he will make clear his de sire for the election of a Republican congress It Is known that the president has made a number of inquiries regarding political conditions in Pennsylvania, and he has on more than one occasion expressed an earnest wish for the suc cess of the Republican party in this state this fall. President Roosevelt has taken ad vantage of several opportunities re cently to arouse interest in the Repub lican cause. Mr. Rcosevelt's Dollar. Anent his subscription to the Repub lican congressional committee's cam paign fund. Editor Earle C. Tuten» of the BeHefonte Republican, has this to say about "Mr. Roosevelt's dollar": "One of the first bo heed the call of the chairman of tho Republican cam paign committee for one dollar contri butions to the campaign fund Is Pres ident Roosevelt. Tho president be lieves In the virtue of example and gives his dollar early with an implied injunction to all Republicans who share with him a true spirit of loyalty to party principle to go and do like wise. Undoubtedly the president's ex ample will bear fruit Its special value consists in the fact that every public act of the chief executive of the na tion commands the attention of the whole people, and that accordingly his recognition of the dollar a head idea will bring the merit thereof home to hundreds of thousands of citizens who otherwise might let it pass unno ticed. He Leads the Way. "Naturally this simple device com mends Itself to the president because of the conditions which have made it necessary. In former times the great corporations were the chief donors of campaign funds, and very little money, was obtained from the privates In the ranks of the political parties. Largely, through Mr. Roosevelt's instrumental ity, a death blow has been dealt to the practice of collecting funds from such sources. "Henceforward, therefore, the cam paign committee of all parties must look to individuals for the wherewithal to meet the heavy cost of campaign ing. There should be no difficulty on this head if it is only possible to enlist Individual attention and to Inspire gen erally an adequate sense of partisan obligation. It Is this that Mr. Roose velt has in mind, and he has taken the one method of emphasising hla views where good results are sure to be achieved." A State Dollar Fund. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee, has fol lowed the lead of Chairman Sherman, of the congressional committee, and ts soliciting one dollar subscriptions to the state campaign fund. The radical anti-corporation declarations made in the Republican platform in Pennsylva nia coupled with the knowledge that Edwin S. Stuart as governor wiil see that all tho party pledges are carried out, will without doubt deter many capitalists from contributing to the Pennsylvania Republican state com mittee this year. But this is to be "a people's battle," and the dollars of the people will bring returns in a triumphant Republican vtctorv. CHIRSCHMUB. A SwU» Dainty That la Made o* Pre served Cherrlei.
