'•I have my opinion," Mrs. March
said impressively, "of folks that <lon't
know no more'n to give a candy pull.
You don't tro to it. Louiza; not ono
sup. 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

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

eouiehow took her under lii« protection
and saw to it that she was not lone

It.
"Thinks he's same as In the family

to herself, adding after a breath, ' but.

Evidently .lohu was much flattered,
lie talked on and on through "Swing

through "Oats, Peas, Beans and Bar

"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

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

"Humph! Look at her face. She's

THE SERPENT'S VENOM.
Holiauimrdiui Legend of tho Ortiflu
of the Tahnooo I'lniil.
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.—

IN SUMMER IN ITALY.
The Antlrea Know How to Keep Cool
In Scorching Weather.
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.

President Keenly Interested la Po>
iitical Situation In Pennsylvania.
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.
