"Hey, Billy! let no bave a ride?" cried a boyish voice, and Billy pulled up Ills handsome roan mount to Bpeak to his friend, who came running; down tho dusty country road very hastily to meet him. "I'm afruld I can't, Hal," Billy an swered regretfully, sorry that he could not oblige his friend lu this re quest. "I've just had him down to tho blacksmith shop at the cross roaas. and must get home and feed him and rub him down before the doctor comes in with the machine. He wants to drive tho horse this af ternoon, out somewhere where he can't go in the automobile, on ac count of the bad, sandy roads." Hal was stroking the smooth side of the fine horse while Billy talked. Now he looked up aud persisted in "his request. "But I won't hinder you. Just take me up behind, for a ride, and I'll walk back," he said. Billy saw that he would have to be quite frank with Hal. "No. Doc tor Barnes raid, when I first went to help around the stable, that I should never let any one eUe ride Arrow. So you see I really can't. I'd like to let you have a ride, but I must get him home fts soon as I can, now. Good-bye," and' Billy was off at a trot, while Hal stood at the gate and watched horse and rider until they were out of sight. '' , . Billy was thinking deeply as he rode along. Tho subject was one that often occupied his thoughts, when he had tho horse out for exercise, or was busy with his work .about the stables at the doctor's home. "Too bad that Hal can't have ray place at the doctor's, and I have what I want. I think this is a mixed up old world anyway. We get the things we don't care a snap about, and the things -ve'd give our heads for, al most, don't come our .way." "Get along, Arrow, old fellow, I can't wait for you to eat grass to-day," and he urged the horse into a trot. Some times Billy had time to let him crop a particular fine bunch of grass, and Arrow remembered it. Into the villago street they turned from the country road iu a few min utes, and trotted down the long, straight thoroughfare. He rode past the post-office and general store, with Its porch decoration of idlers; past the pretty notion store windows, and tb.3 town hall; and on toward the doctor's home, at the extreme other end of the street. . But they did not get home without an interruption. As they went on down the Btreet, and past several houses, Billy saw ahead the familiar automobile of his employer standing In front of a Douse. "Wonder who is sick at Harris'?" he thought, aud glanced again at the car as he neared it. "Hello, doctor has Myrtlo nut -with him," he udded as he saw the golden head of the doctor's little girl over the back of the seat. Myrtle saw him at the same in stant, turning around at the sound of hoofs in tho street. She smiled and waved her chubby hand as he passed, and to waved back, for they ' were very good friends. Almost as soon as he had gone past the car this happened. He heard It start and looked back, expecting to see the doctor in his seat, with his hand on the lever; but he taw instead Myrtle, grasping it with chubby lin gers, laughing mischievously, her curls tossed back and her face alight with daring. Bill gavo one gasp, and pulled the roan around so suddenly that he wheeled on two feet. Even as he did so, the big car gained headway, and the child In It, realizing some thing of her danger, but ignorant now to avert it, or stop ine car, lcrearr.ed helplessly, "Oh, Billy, come, make It stop, quick! Even . as she spoke the machine passed the boy and horse, running so smoothly and swiftly that he palod at the danger before the child. The thought came: "it ho bad made me chauffeur, instead of stable boy, as I wanted him to do, this would not havo happened.'' For only the day before, the man who had held that position the place Billy wanted with ull his machinery-loving heart bad , been discharged for druukenuess, inon cuuie me nian. .yuicK as a flash he urged the roan after the ma chine, kicking his feet free of the stir - rups as he neared the automobile, The car ran faster and faster what he was going to try, must be done quickly. Aud then the doctor ram out just In time to see what Billy was going to do, and lo stand breathless while his child lu the big car. and his sta ble boy on the splendid roan horse rn the race that was the talk o lo :;,ltz for luauihs afterward. When Billy we abreast of the cat and it took good work on the part of both horse and rider to achieve that he called to the terror-stricken little offender: "Get over on one side quick make room for inei'm going to jump." And as she rept away to the other side, he leaped from the back of the running horse -end fell all in heap but in the car. It was but the work of a moment to gather himself up and reverse the lever. The next moment he had the steering wheel In his hand, and had the car turned, and then ran back to where wildly excited group stood and waited, with the frantic father. Arrow slackened his speed gradually, and when he quite understood that his rider had suddenly disappeared, he stopped and cropped an especially fine bunch of grass with supreme In difference to races or runaway cars. "I would like to do something to show you how I appreciate your act, and the courage and quickness of thought that it showed," said the doctor to Billy in a talt that was ex ceedingly uncomfortable, and yet pleasant, to that praise-shunning young man. And at that, Billy's eyes suddenly brightened, and -h spoke: "It you would let me run the ma chine for you. Instead of getting an other man, as you said you were going to do " he began. "I know all about it, sir. I've studied It up, every spare mluute since I've been here. I thought If 1 ever got a chance to run one I've always been crazy over machinery, :lr, and " And then the doctor put a few ques tions that settled the matter. "You shall run it for me from this day, until you get something better," the doctor raid quietly. "And, If you care to study machinery II you have any desire to make an expert of yourself I have a brother In that line' of business, and I think we can arrange to lc'. you learn all you want about wheels r.nd things." Then r 11 at once Billy realized that this is not such a mixed up old world, Cter all; and that if a fellow is faith ful In what he has to do. and what com'. ti him, even suddenly and un expectedly, there may be chances for him to get what he -wants with all his heart that twe things he "would give his head for," as he had put it. were, after all. some of them, apt to come his way. Young Peoples Paner. DON'T CUT YOUR SLEEP SHORT. British Scientists Frown On the Wellington Hole. The papers read in the physiologi cal section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science dls- ussing sleep and rest were all op posed to the old Idea that mankind should be content with short slum ber. The Duke of Wellington's dlc- um of six hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool went by the board. . Francis Dyke Acland urged the necessity for plenty of sleep for the young as necessary to their bodily and mental development. He said that most of a' boy's growth was done in bed. He .quoted a letter from the head master of a large school, where the breakfast hour had been changed from 7 to 8 o'clock, as saying that the whole school was brighter and doing better work. Dr. Gotch said that the healthiest lcep was dreamless. He mentioned Lord Kitchener's faculty of being able to go Into dreamless sleep at any moment. Professor Lewis said that the nor mal sleep of a laboring man during tho first half hour was very deep and then grew shallower. Professor Meyers related his own experience with a German doctor. He arranged to be awakened afer a half hour to see what his mental con dition was. He set himself several problems In arithmetic. The next day he was awakened after an hour's sleep., and so on, increasing bis time for sleep by an hour a day until he got six hours. He found bis ability in connection with arithmetic as great after an hour's sleep as after six hours. When, however, he came to try another test this one com pletely broke down. In trying to test his memory he found it grew in proportion to the number. of hours of sleep he took. Bootjacks Among the Sunflowers. It is popularly supposed that tho bootjack h'ts disappeared from the common articles of household use as completely as the candlo snuffers aud tho warming pan. But this is not true In some parts of Kansas. In Smith County they are numerous. Why they should still continue in ex istence in the vicinity of Smith Centre while at Mankato not one is to be found is explained by the prevalence of the old fashioned custom of wear ing boots at the former place. Many bootjacks may be found hanging be hind the kitchen stove In the farnv houses In that vicinity. The oldest one was made In Wisconsin In 1851, and Is owned and used by G. W. Sage, of Smith County.

Maine's Interesting Industry, Where ' 2 Everything Is Dona In Haste. All up and down the State of Maine the canned corn Industry is an ephemeral season of feverish activi ty, lasting not over a fortnight, upon which the whole outcome of the year's industry depends. During the last weeks ot August freight cars full of tin cans are shunt ed into the shops; the yards have been carefully cleaned and every thing Is prepared for the Impending hustle, In which, perhaps, 1,000,000 cans must be filled, scaled and mado ready for. market. The "buyer" all this time Is mak ing his daily rounds in a light wagon, visiting all the corn raisers within twenty miles, seeing that the con tracts, signed a year before, are being carried out and ascertaining Just when each grower's crop will be ready for the mill. No man must bring In his corn until it is called for; no man dares delay it (for greater weight) after the order has gone forth. The system Is perfection and Insures a steady and ample supply for the two weeks ot canning time Just enough for the machinery to take care of, no more, no less. Without It the corn might lie a day or two In the shop yard and spoil, for green corn is a highly perishable commod ity. When everything Is absolutely ready the foreman gives the word. Instantly the most amazing activity ensues. Every man, woman and child who can possibly get away from other occupations Is requisitioned by tue shop; school is delayed until can ning time is over; every other busi ness is subordinated to the pressing task of getting the corn into the cans before the frost strikes it. In side the mill the complex machines begin to hum, outside, the yard fills up with women and children, waiting for the corn to come. The first load is acclaimed with cheers as It lumbers in behind a yoke of red oxen; no sooner Is it dumped than the swarm ot workers burrows Into It like so many bees, stripping and tearing off the husks; in five min utes the first lot of heaping bushel baskets, piled high with sweet green corn, Is being wheeled away to the "cutters." Another and another load comes; the game is on. Nothing in our prosaic American life could be more picturesque, more suggestive of the free, open air labor of southern Europe than this yard full of people, In all manner of parti colored dress, kneeling and sitting around the heaps ot corn, stripping away for dear life. The Incentive Is five cents for every bushel of husked corn quite enough to make the pov erty bitten ruralltee "dig In" for all they are worth. Many a new suit of clothes, many a Sunday bonnet come out of these bushel baskets. Meanwhile, as the ox teams, drays and wagons ot every description are hauling in the corn, and the chatter ing, competing townsfolk are husking away like mad, the stripped corn is hauled away on trucks to the first machines, the "cutters," clever de vices which whip off every kernel in a twinkling and toBB the cobs out into the yard again through a chute. The ears ot corn running through these machines make you think of a proces sion of ratti scampering Into their holes; they whisk along almost faster than the eye can follow. One "cut ter," fed by a boy, does the work that formerly required ten or a dozen men armed with corn knives. The meaty kernels, running with white Juice, are poured down Into vats,, from these machines, whence they are conveyed to a big rotating sieve which sorts out bits of cob, refuse and the like, letting only the clean and perfect corn pass through. This corn is all caught In another vat, called the "mixer," where It la Is thoroughly Incorporated by ma Honey in It. When the Salvation Army first came to America, twenty-five years ago, says the author of "The Prophet ot the Poor," is found a ready advo cate ot its methods in the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher. Mr. Beecher had just uad a lesson, in parable form, from a certain "Brother" An derson, which he never forgot. Brother Anderson was at that time the pastor ot a colored congregation which was noted for the noise and en thusiasm of its services. Incident ally the old man wielded a whitewash-brush, but he was known as an exhorter ot no mean ability. One day he persuaded Mr. Beecher to ad dress bis congregation. The occasion, seemed a good ono for reproving the congregation for their- uproarious methods, and Mr. Better did so. "Let all things be done decently and In order," he con cluded. Then Brother Anderson rose to speak. , w "I love Brudder Beecher; I love to hear him preach dls after noon," be said. "He's our good fried'. And he say dat some folks goes up to glory noisy 'n' shouting, and some goes still like.s If they's ashamed of what's In 'em.' And te say we better be more like dat still kind, and de .white folks'll like us more. He say de boys and de gels stair" in de do'way and laugh at us, and mock at ub 'cause o' de wav we goes or.

Ccue ti-r-w'a tow yu taw Processes of a Business That Is A! most Wholly Done by Machinery. chinery with a decoction of water, sugar and starch. When the mixing Is completo buck ettuls of the compound are carried to the steam-cooker; here the first cook ing takes ptace at a temperature of 180 degrees. On both sides of tbls cooker long chutes descend from the upper story, and down these chutes fall tin cans, dropping into place be neath nozzles which automatically discharge precisely a canful of corn. These nozzles fill fifty-six cans a min ute almost one every second, you notice which is a great deal faster than a dozen skilled workmen could do. As the cans are filled with the' steaming, fragrant mixture, an end less chain conveys them on to a re volving steel table, where they- are roughly hustled and made to "move on" until they fall Into a regular line and pass through the automatic "counter," a turnsttlo affair which registers the exact number ot cans filled every day. Without pausing a second, the cans travel along a belt which carries them under the "wiper," a buzzing brush, much like a street-sweper in a small scale; this device Instantly cleans off any stray kernels which may have ad hered to the outside, and passes the cans to an operator who very deftly places the little round "solderated" covers In position. Just as they leave the operator's hands, each can receives a good brushing with muri atic acid from a nest of whirling brushes, for all the world like muci lage brushes. This acid prepares the covers for tho automatic soldering process. , The soldering machine receives twelve cans at ouce, solders them si multaneously with circular Irons, and delivers them out on to another belt before you half understand how it is accomplished. Its capacity Is 42,000 cans a day. Each can cover Is pro vided with Us own solder, the irons ot the machine, heated by gasoline flame and well dipped In salammon lac, whirl down with a spiral motion; presto! the thing is done. Nothing now remains but to seal up the little air holes in the middle of the covers. This detail Is attended to by a couple of men who drop solder on the centre of each top as the cans pass by. . Leaving these men, the cans are collected in great trays, each holding ninety-four cans. Five trays are piled together, and the whole mass, containing 470 cans in all, is dragged off to the "retorts," where a very high temperature is maintained by steam. Into the retorts go the cans on the double quick; the doors are jacked on and the steam admitted. Here the corn receives its final cooking; and when, . with a great rush and hiss ing of steam, the doors are thrown open again, It la ready for . market and table. Other workmen now wheel the corn away to a large platform where thousands ot cans aro piled; a hose is squirted over the new arrivals to cool them, and they are then ready for labeling and shipment. The whole process has consumed less than an hour, from the time of delivery In the yard until the finished product lies cooked, sealed and cooled on the ship ping platform. The rapidity and entire precision ot the manufacture are miraculous. Hardly twice does a human hand touch the work it is a triumph ot machinery, pure and simple. There are, la the whole range of mechan ics, very few processes excelling this for quickness and automatic perfec tion. When one considers that In the very brief corn season a single shop turns out from 300,000 to 500,000 cans, the rapidity of the work be comes apparent. New England Gro- da gospel bees do.

"As he spoke," said Mr. Beecher, "I seemed to see my own sermon shrinking and fading away." Workmen and Their Tools. The monotony of labor union meet ings was broken the other night when a spirited young fellow blurted out: "You chaps can talk the year round about wages and hours, but mighty few of you know how to keep your tools In order and get the beat out ot them. I'll bet there ain't a dozen men here to-night who don't abuse their tools. You let 'em rust out; throw 'em away and buy new ones." There was general move nrent in the room. Au old man said he had used a saw for twenty years. A tailor declared one pair of shears lasted hint eighteen years. A car penter's drawing knife was fifteen years old. Old Jimmy, of Washing ton Market, used a carving knife twelve years. Joe Ochstel had a hatchet for twenty-two years. A box maker used a pocketkntfe nineteen years. A cabinetmaker had a plain bit that wore out a dozen stocks, etc. The experience meeting turned out to be highly Interesting. N-aw York Press. The Oldest Bridegroom.

Yestail How to Renew Furs. Furs that have become flat and oily looking about the neck may be made frrsh and :!ke new by rubbing the fur the wrong way with hot bran. Furs that have been wet should never be hung In front ot a stove or an open fire to dry. Telephones at the Theatre. To enable young married women, If they become anxious, to telephone home and Inquire as to the condi tion of their children, telephones are fitted In Try private box at the Coli seum. It is a common thing at the opera and many West End theatres to soe a queue of ladles watting their turn at the telephone between the acts, says London Opinion, Just "to have a word with nurse." When to Shun White Shoes. The weakness for white shoes shown among certain classes is to be deplored. The material Is cheap, the feet they adorn usually largeor is it that white makes even small feet look tremendous? They soil so easi ly, and in any event should be worn with white costumes. In any event, cheap white shoes should never be worn. Black shoes for street wear are always safe. The various browns do well for some occasions, but black always looks well and the feet look smaller in It. Broderio Anglaise. One generally sees broderie An glalse worked in floral patterns, or, ut any rate, in "fancy" designs; for a change in it Is much prettier in a severe style, and a charming blouse of saffron taffeta embroidered in a design somewhat like the convention al wreath ot bays, stretched out r raight! A very fine piece of Valen ciennes was embroidered thus, and the broderie worked on lace was most effective; this blouse had chiffon bre telles edged with tiny frills, and the embroidery was done In colored silk "i.atch. Hand-Painted Hats. There seems to be no stopping In the universal race for novelty. The latest craze is for hats hand-painted with the designs of the flowers with which they are trimmed. Large Leg horn hats In white and black have their brims painted with long trails of pink or white roses and trimmed with clusters ot the flowers and big bows. A very dainty toque also fash ionable is of pale mauve crinoline straw, trimmed with lilac and orna mented with painted sprays of the same blossoms, which are half hid den in the folds of tbe straw. Lon don Opinion. - Gloves Will Go Deep In Pockets. It will be enough to Bcare any father to learn how expensive his wife's and daughter's winter clothes are going to be. The Icily calm importer of Paris frocks makes no apologies for her announcement that never in her long experience have French models been so dear, while some of the accessories ot dress, such as gloves and plumes,' prove a ton weight on the man who has to pay for them. A fashionable woman's glove will be Increased unpleasantly, as the bright shades that will be worn this year are costly. "Last season we could count on one hand our customers who de manded, colored gloves," says the purveyor of modes, "but this winter the pale grays and fawns are consid ered Insignificant. Already we have demands for claret, grass-green, royal purple and electric blue gloves." Sweet Faces. Tbe most expressive face is not tbe one which writhes or agonizes with every sorrowful feeling, or twists and squirms with every amus ing situation; it is rather the one which retains a calm exterior while the strongest emotions of the soul play upon It with their lights and shadows.' The face should be the smooth curtain on which the heart exhibits Its various pictures without disturbing it, not the stage which re quires the shitting of scenery tor every act. The reason why so many beautiful faces are to bo found in a convent Is in a great measure due to the dally habit of composing the features In long hours of meditation and prayer. Unmarred by contend ing emotions, the features are grad ually moulded into harmonious out lines. To sum up on this point train you.- features to composure, and avoid all grimacing habits, says Woman's World. Because good humor la an obliging quality, many women think they must always be In a laugh or a broad smile In order to :be charming. This la a grievous mis take. Tight Hose Harmful. Worse even than narrow toes Is the habit that many women have ot buying hose too small tor their feet and wearing them constantly. It la needless to say that binding flesh In tight stockings is one ot the most harmful forms ot lacing, be cause It- restricts circulation. And when that la Impaired the Individual becomes a prey to all sorts ot ali ments, which, by thj way, not only manifest themselves lu corns and cal loiitt'3, but by affecting the general health. , Stockings too large, the other ex trome, are also bad, but tbe 111 effects they cause are not to be compared with the wearing of tight hose. When they are too long and wrinkle ovvr the instep and under the arch of the foot they cause callous places aud the folds ot the material pressing Into the flesh frequently Irritate the skin, be cause ot the constant friction ot rub bing upon and down with every step taken.

New Haven Register. The Birdcage Coiffure. Women who have returned recent ly from Paris are Introducing a new French evening costume that outdoes in altitude anything seen since the powdered wig of Colonial days. The framework ot the new ar rangement is a cage-like wire affair, patterned after a high skull cap. This Is placed just in the centre ot the head and the tresses are arranged over it to give the effect of a tower ing mass of "crowning glory." The hair first is waved, then sepa rated to hang in even quantities on all sides of the head. When the "cage" has been adjusted the wavy locks are drawn up loosely over it and arranged in a graceful knot at the summit. -, If the hair is too scanty for treatment, the ends are tucked iu on top and pinned, and a group ot arti ficial curls is fastened above. A fillet is usually drawn around the new coiffure at a point about on a line with the lower edge of the cage. Sometimes tbls is a double string of pearls, or again it Is a sim ple told of tulle with a large artificial rose caught to it at either side of tha head. Tact and Patience. To say "no" to a child is often much easier and quicker than to ex plain the situation and help the child to say no to himself. But the latter Is the better way. It requires tact, patience and persistence, and, above all, prayer. When the child has been made to understand why he should or should not do a certain thing, then comes a supreme moment of testing. Will he choose the right course, or will he decide for the wrong? The mother must not interfere, and she can do nothing but wait, lifting her heart in a silent, pleading prayer for the Holy Spirit to direct her little one. And, for her comfort, she may be assured that He who promised His Spirit to those who ask, will not fall to answer. Do not let us mare the mistake of thinking that little things are insignificant. The smallest decision that a child makes is large to him, and every one goes to ward forming that strange power which we call habit and which will be so large a lactor In his later life. It is only by trifling and oft-repeated lessons that the child learns to gov ern himself, but the mother who helps her little one to such self-mastery is giving him the key to vlstory, for "he that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city." Clara E. Hamilton. For Those Who Worry. The worrying temperament often makes its habitat with one whose oc cupation lies within home walla, whose life is monotonous, and out look circumscribed. The frame inures itself to priva tion, to work, when it does not inter fere too much with eating and sleep ing, but the system never accustoms Itself, healthily, to worry. It is a perpetual tease upon the nerves, and never remits its rasping, wearing power. It is generally true that an anx ious tendency to take care rather seriously outruns Its right propor tions, becomes a giant, and gains mas tery over its victim. To "tie it well and let it go," to do one's duty, then trust in the good ness that rules the universe,, and of which each individual is a parjt, Is a nobler, healthier role than to fret and fret. It Anxious was a divinity, to be propitiated by anxious thoughts, and offerings to his skeleton .partner, Black Care, then worry might be worth while, but not when it hinders usefulness and encourages croaking. Where care stimulates activity it is beneficial, but the moment it goes beyond Xhat it checks good work. Think how much humanity suffers on account of tbe things that never happen. Think how worrying takes away peace of mind, nerve, unfits for the battle of life, the swooping and lunging toward things outward and great in our lives. Winnow your own Individual life.
