B TH1MII HllliililiWi7i'TT'fV'ivTI Their Lottery Ticket 0 By JAMES HULBUKT t Farmer Riley was a plain, hard working man and bis wlfo was a plain, bard working woman. As for J offer ; son Riley, usually called "Jeff," he put : on more Btyle than the old folks, but ' the- neighbors admitted that ho was ' a horse to work and bad sense lu bis bead. Jeff Riley hnd been engaged to Far ( jnor Jones' daughter, Sarah, for three months nnd all parties Interested were satisfied with the match when an event happened. Tho Riley family re ceived a letter from Mrs. Klley's sls ; ter In Wisconsin, saying that she was , coming on a visit. Her name was Bogle, and as sho was 40 years old and had never married, sho properly camo tinder the head of a spinster. Tho sisters had not met for years, but It was understood that Miss Bogle, who had qulto an Income of her own, jiut on more or less style. During the ensuing two weeks the parlor bedroom had Its walls and cell ing whitewashed, a new pnlr of chintz curtains hung at the window and the legs of the stand nnd bureau glued on. ew leather hinges wero put on the front gate and the hen-house nnd pig pen were (rented to coats of white. The houso was as ready as could bo and the family was holding Its breath when Sister Boglo finnlly drove up from the distant railroad station. Sho bad been advised that If shn would set date the farmer would meet her with his ox team and farm wugon, but she bail not answered. Sho hnd como in a hack Instead tho first vehicle of tho kind ever seen so far from town. Mrs. , Riley bad piepared herself for hug ging and kissing nnd "oh, my!" but there was nothing of tho sort. Miss 'Bogle did shake hands, but In a lofty, piimphnnillo way nnd n minute later ehe announced that she didn't believe ' she could possibly stand her surround ings over two days at tho outside. I For tho first time In his life Jeff Riley was ashamed of wearing a blue patch on the broadest part of a pair 1 And Jeff, Here, Has Become Jeffer .'' son, Jr." f gray trousers, nnd although be kept the said pi.tch covered as much as bo could he was made to feel that he was a poor and humble worm of tho dust. Jt wa.i two days before the newly arrived relative thawed out to nny ex tent, i'erhaps this was due to dog days, with a hot wave, and sho had to thaw. Jeff was also wearing Ins Sunday trousers to plough corn in and perhaps that helped some. Sho fcud learned of his engagement to Miss Jones and sho hnd also seen the young lady. She had not only soen her, but liven her guch a haughty glare that 8irah went home on the trot and was lu agitated that she put pepper Instead of cinnamon In a custard pie she bnked for supper. After three or four dHys bad passed the sister called a family council at hich Jeff was present. The ftllcy Tuiiiiiy were then nnd there Informed tli.it Miss Bogle had had a man in N York hunting up her genealogy n I that sho had traced the Bogles lu' k to Count D'Bogle, of Fram e From now on, she should write her anie us above given. She had had no e.irch made for the Klleys. but she tt 'iigly advised that they write and all it Kayle after this. She herself n I called It that way to the mnn who 4rovH tho hack, and though ho had Jcr itchrd bis ear and seemed puzzled o had not asked nny Impertinent lu.'sllons. Then Jeff got It straight tho neck. How could a Hayle, who Was a direct descendant of a D'Hogle nU himself up with such common people as tho Jones? lie must give Saruh Jones the cold shoulder or bo- social outlaw. There. must boJ u iiioro nangltig out at the Junes frrm. Sarah had freckles. Her nose Was sunburned. She had tho gait or a lf. She didn't know how to retire UacUaids from a room. She had no soul above chickens and pigs. Such a We.-alllance would cover tho D'Bog'e Mmily with obloquy and forever dis pace the Uayles.

Plain Farmer Riley and fls plain wife were itlnd to hear that their working days wero over, though rath er doubtful of tho swell they would cut, but Jeff was enthusiast ic. Np mora bluo patches for him. No using shlu glo nails any more In place of buttons No plowing corn when ho could hnvo a negro driving him around tho coun try. He, hnd nlways prided himself on his plain speaking, and didn't care much for grammar, but he would ro at It and fit himself for high society with in a month. As for Sarah Jones, ho had asked her to mnrry him, but that was when he was plain Jeff Kiley. Now that he hnd become Jefferson J. Raylo she must 6eo that there was a differ- ence. Sho would probably stand In nwo of him nnd bo glad to let lilm go Ho went over to the Jones farm next morning (o see. Ho made the excuse that ho wanted to borrow a hoe, but sat down In the kitchen where Sarah was washing tho breakfast dishes while her mother mado tho beds Sarah had been piqued nnd humiliated !y the IVBogle's cold glare, and she was ready with a criticism. This otened tho subject nnd gave Jeff op portunlty to announce what was on his mind. As Jeff Klley, working for bin father ns a hired man nt $16 a month and hoard, he loved her. As Jefferson J. Hayle, nephew of a IVBogle and soon to bo possessed of a fortune, sho must see that he could only bo it 'brother to her. As a brother ho would bring her tho first cucumbers and strawberries of the season, and In caso of her marrlngo he should cer talnly send her a diamond ring or 11 set of mink furs. It wasn't bis fault that he was no longer to wear that plue patch around and grease hM boots with lampblack nnd pork fat llo was Just as humblu In spirit as tha day before, but he must bo guided by tho D'lloglo family to a certain ex tent. Sarah continuod to wash and to wlpo nnd to listen until ho had told his story, and then she went to tho Btalr door nnd called to her mother: . "Say, ma, come down hero a min ute." "Well, what's wanted?" asked tho mother ns she descended. "That wltliered up old maid over at Jeff's house calls herself Diioglo." "For the land's sake!" "And Jeff here has become Jeffer son J." "You don't tell mo!" "And the family has become Rnyle Instead of Klley." "Is It posible?" "And Jeff Is going to be a rich man and swell around, and ho wants a (Lit, fercnt wife from me." "Sarah Jones, am I awake or dreaming?" exclaimed the portly mother as sho missed the chair she Intended to sit dotvn on and took the 1 floor Instead. "And Jeff Is going to bo a brother to mo after this," announced Sarah ns a wind-up. Tho mother rose to her feet and went over to the sink and took a dip per of water from the pail. Then sho led Jeff by the ear to the door and hcM him there while she poured the we ter over his head. The next two weeks were exiVttni? ones for the D'lloglo nnd the Kayla lamllles. They did Ilttlo but make plans. Tho lottery ticket was Inspect ed a hundred times over, and cneh time It was pronounced a sure winner. Jeff kept (dear of the Jones family and wore his full Sunday suit, even to feed the hogs In, and bis father nnd mother got down the Farmer's Almanac and rend It over nnd over again with a view of improving their language. At length the fatal day arrived. Tho D'Bogle had arranged to bavo the list of tho drawing sent her by mall. It ar rived and was consulted with feverish haste and beating hearts. It wis gone over nnd over five or hIx times, but her number failed to appear. When this becauiu evident she burst Into te.irs and retired to her boom, while father and mother and Jeff sat and looked at each other. After a long time Jeff counted on his lingers as he said: "D'Bogle Is one, dad's two, mam's three, and durn my cats I'm four!

GIRL TRADE SCHOOLS Practical Arts of Worn Are Taught Young Women. Boston Has In Full Operation Two More Advanced Institutions for Those Who Expect to Enter Industrial Field. Boston. In addition to the Indus trlnl classes for girls In tho regular tay elementary schools Boston has now In full operation two more ad vanced schools for girls who sooner or later expect to take up some In dustrlal pursuit. Theso are known as tho Girls' Trade school and the High school for practical arts. The Girls Trade school Is conducted for the purpose of giving a trade training to girls between the ages of 14 and 18 years who are obliged to become wage earners. It does not matter how far a girl has progressed In the elementary schools. Tha principal In t'hnrge selects from the number of applicants those only who aro most likely to bo able to satisfactorily com I pleto the course. Thero are four distinct courses glv en at this school: Dressmaking, mllll nery, straw machino operating and clothing machine operating. A girl on being admitted to this school electa one of the courses, which she learns thoroughly. She Is also re nuired to tako supplementary studies In spelling, reading, business forms, arithmetic, business Hngllsh, textllo color nnd design, cookery nnd physi cal exercise. In domestic science she takes her pnrt In tho preparation or tho dally luncheon of the si bcol. Sho learns tho value of simple nnd nutritious food, tho maintenance of health, economy of buying nnd attractive serving. Tho care of the body, tho necessity of proper food, sleep, exer cise, correct standing and sitting, and tho need of fresh air are taught. In this class In design Instruction Is given In costume sketching, com binations of colors, garment design ing and sketches for millinery. This work Is immediately nnd definitely lot-related with tho shop. Articles aio also manufactured and placed on sale. Tho standards of tho n'hool In every department nre tho same as foind In outsldo shops and factories. The prices are the same ns charged In the bettor shops, and the quality of workmanship must b as high. Thus In the school the girls meet the same high conditions that they afterward meet oiiIkIHo Th school begins In September, when the other schools begin. It requires about a year for a girl to reach a satisfac tory standard tf proficiency. Having completed a year at the school the girl Is given a certificate of profi ciency. The high school of practical arts das inside of four years outgrown Its quarters twice and at present can not meet the demand made by hundreds of girls for admission. This school was started four years ago under dls rouraglng conditions, In the Lyceum l.all bulldlnj:, Meetinghouse hill It had nn entering class of 75 mem bers and five Instructors. There are now about 700 pupils In the Sarah J. Baker school. Koxbury, and Lyceum ball building, Meetinghouse hill, and the corps of Instructors considerably augmented.

The Ideal place for a trout hatchery Is what a mem ber of tho Michigan flnh commission who recently visited It pronounced rtie Glon Springs hatchery, four miles southeast of hero. It Is also famous as one of the beauty spots of Van Buren county, on account of Its loca tion In a glon on the east bank of the Paw Paw river, almost wholly In closed by natural embankments forty foot high, covered with a beautiful grove of forest trees. Aside from Its natural beauty, the place Is most Interesting because of the work carried on there. Just now there are In tho ponds about one mil lion trout In all rtnges of develop ment, from the eggs to tho fish large enough for tho market. The fish are marketed principally In Chicago when they attain a welf'rt of a fourth of a GREATEST RECLAMATION PROJECT Tm Woo .3" r- w f- r t- nvi 7r I are wondering where they will find room to accommodate tho hundreds of girls who next Soptember will want to bo admitted to this school. . This school alms to prepare Its pupils, graduates from the elementary schools to meet the conventionalities of homo life, to give direct training in tho forming of Judgments of the typo required for home making and to ground them thoroughly In the sub jects that underlie tho practical arts of tho household. The upper classes are divided Into two groups, both being trained for homo making, though one spends more or less time In Industrial work. In connection with the school a house Is maintained at 6 I'ertin street. Koxbury, In which general housekeplng Is taught. This home contains a laundry, living room, din ing room, kitchen, pantry, bathroom and a number of chambers. Instruction Includes laundering, work of the kitchen, care of the din ing room. The setting and serving of luncheons, the furnishing and equip ment of the house and the arrange ments of furniture and decorations are taught. On the second floor there Is a room fitted up for the study of nursing. The course Is four years In length, two-thirds of the time is for academic subjects and drawing and one-third to industrial work, Knglish history, arithmetic, algebra, piano geometry, chemistry, physics, biology and hy giene. At tho Sarah J. Baker .Bchool build ing, Koxbury, there nre 'working and class rooms lu tho building. The two school kitchens furnish tho noonday lunch for all tho pupils.

The eggs are taken from tho fish by hand by a process known as strip ping, extreme care being taken In the handling of the fish. Kach female fish will produce from five hundred to one thousand eggs, which, after being taken from the fish, stick together about forty minutes, during which lime a slight Jar will destroy them. At the expiration of this time they aro washed nnd counted (by measure) and placed on trays In troughs of run ning water In the hatchery building. In thirty to forty days the eyes of the embryo fish begin to show through the shell of the egg, and the fully de veloped fish puts In an appearance after the lapse of sixty to' ninety days.

Representatives of all the dealers aro scouring tho country for articles of vertu which they think may find a purchaser among tho throngs of vis itors who will bo lu London this sum mer. Thero is one dealer who Is pre pared to purchase collections at a figure as high as $250,000, and he es timates that antiques of a total value of $25,000,000 will leave England this summer, purchased by Americans, co lonials, Europeans nnd celestials. "In an ordinary season the sales would not amount to more than $10, 000,000," he added, "but this season wo expect exceptionally big prices, owing to the huge demand for an tiques, and we can afford to offer a higher purchase price." Tho articles principally In demand aro porcelain and China bearing the Imprint of the factories of Chelsea, Worcester, Plymouth, Derby, Bristol, Dresden and Sevres. The fact that the king's name Is George has created a great demand for Georgian antiques. Furniture ol the Georgian era Is expected to com mand good prices, for the fashion among collectors inclines toward that period now.

We 3nd In St. John's evangel a man named N'lcodemus thrice mentioned lu connec tion with Jesus. In tl,u first reference it Is noted that he came to Jesus so crely nnd by night. In the next two, one of which took place before the ileal ll of the Nazarem: and the other lifter, the fact of that nocturnal visit Is related, so that N'lcodemus, tho rich, wealthy member of the .Ran hedrin, who was only a half hearted Jlsciplo of Jesus, is always and for ever Identified and referred to ns man Who came seel.lnir the trntK I secretly and by night. To trace his career Is int (resting, tils condition In life has b.-en stilted. Timidity was his prevailing character 'slic. He had Insight to suspect tho truth, mentality to acknowledge It, hut not courage to live It and proclaim It. It Is well that that lacking quality uhlch prevented him from being inim- ! bered with tho niNistles should bn ' brought to the fore, for he Is a type of ! ltimanlty by no means uncommon. Ho j mow what was right, but ho did not ! )avo courago to shape his life In ac jordanco with his knowledge. His be iuf was not operative. It was not i practical. In politics ho would cry i oudly for reform and yet vote his i ?arty In tho final test. J Tho Inst scene In his life is tragical- I j y typical.

The soul thirsts after God becauso nothing else can satisfy. It Is a great llilng to learn that lesson. Kstranged from God through the llrst transgres sion, the soul naturally seeks satis faction In things material nnd carnal rather than In tilings spiritual nnd eternal. Not until brought to nn over mastering sense nnd consciousness ol .he utter emptiness of all earthly things nnd their Inadequacy to satis fy tho higher demands of the soul, will a man give place to the longings nf the heart after God. It Is a second thirst. F.very man's first thirst Is nf ter carnal things, nnd turning from these unto things spiritual ami unto unbounded thirst for God, Is a most wonderful transition. No mnn ever thirsts after God In valu. He Is both able ami willing to supply every need of all his creatures, and since the redemption of the soul Is so precious, why should he with hold nny good thing from us? Taking Up Our Cross. The cross is to be met with In littlu things as well as in great things; In the Pile details of dally life; In our conduct with our friends; In tho daily subjection of our creaturely will; In the turning aside from those attrac tions which lend us out of the way of duty or tho path of privilege; In the continual preference of that which eavors of God to that which snvors ol man; In nlways putting his will first nnd our own will second; In never do lug a thing merely because It pleases us to do it, nor shrinking from doing anything because it Is painful, hut In I ever endeavoring lo be guided by the I desire to become conformed unto the nature of him who Is our leader. It Is In such Ilttlo things as these that tbe cross Is to be taken up. Rev. W M. Hay. Altken.

In the Kgvptian war of ISM', when l-ord Wolsoley was hin dered In his desire for nn absolute lion -grog regime, was not the purpose of the surprise uicht march to Tel-el Kebil well nigh frustrated by tht yells of nn intoxicated British sol dier? Kltihener knew that Have lock's renowned march to the relief of l.ucknow. Sir Robert Napier's mag nlllcent climb over tho altitude of Abyssinia and capture of Magdala, and Wolseley's splendid mlvaitco by river, lake and cascade to Fort Garry in 1X70, were all accomplished upon, lihstinenco principles. In these ln- stances, especially In the latter two, thero was no crime, and also prac tically no Illness among the troops as a result of the no grog system Ordere were, therefore, glven by Kltihener that no Intoxicants were to b'i supplied to the 11 c .0m men under his command. When, contrary to theso regulations, some Greek merchants smuggled consignments of a vile In toxicating compound into Berber, the rases were nt once i onlh ateil and tie liquor poured upon the sand, and not down the soldior-i' throats. For tl.e Kgvptian and Soudanese t-oops In Kitchener's army no tc. -total compul sion was necessary, seeing their .Mo hammedan religious principles re quired nbst'netii-e from stimulants. ! Sometimes, however, tbe Soudanesi brew a kind of beer called ".Merissn." but not a drop of this was utilized In, j the Soudanese portion of lb Sirdar' camp.

To th rule enjoined upon the rank and Mo tho General and the orther leading of ficers also conformed. "From genen als to drummer boys, not a single drop nf liquor was allowed during the famous march in tbe Soudan, and still more famous battle of Atbara. Bothj nt officers' mess tables and regimen tal canteens lea and oatmeal water were the drinks of the day." Fully satisfactory In every war were the results of this compulsory total abstinence. Tho turn were er fectly happy, there was no crime, they worked better, and were la? better health. In such splendid, condition were the troops that they were able to traverse thirty miles of sand with empty wa ter, bottles without quenching their thirst from beginning to end of th march For live continuous hours Gatacrc's men on one occasion tramp-. ed 1.1 miles on tho desert rout man oeiiveiing instead of halting, yet not a single man fell out.
