CELIA'
MAIDEN
AUNT
By R. NEISH.
I HAVE been staying with Jack and
Celia, and Jack has been in trouble
again. The morning after my ar
rival he cnnie. into the library, where
I was writing letters, and sank down
rnther despondently into a chair.
"I say, Dot," he said, In a lugubri
ous voice, 'Telia's maiden aunt is
coming to stay with us."
Aunt Julia arrived the next day.
She is a tall, rather masculine, or, I
should say, mi feminine, looking lady,
with an aquiline nose ami wiry, black
hair, slightly tinged with gray. Her
hands and feet were large and pow
erful, and her voice was one that
"carries." She greeted Celia, who is
her favorite, quite effusively, and
then turned indifferently to me.
"Well, Dot, 'so you're here again,"
she said, and held my hand for a mo
ment loosely in her jinlm, while 1 re
plied cheerfully, like the clown in the
pantomime: "Yes, Aunt Julia, here
we are again!"
Aunt Julia hnd deeided views upon
many subjects, but, perhaps, more
especially upon t lie marriage ques
tion than any other. I asked her dur
ing dinner, quite innocently, of
course, if she did not think it quite
right for a man to marry a second
time if his first wife died.
She looked down nt her plate and
sniffed angrily, us if scenting battle
Instead of mint sauce.
"Itight?" she said, contemptuously,
tossing a piece of unoffending lamb
from one side of the plate to the
other and upsetting three green peas
on to the table cloth. "I think it's
mean positively mean. If a man
wants two wives, let him take them
both nt once; two, or as many more
as he likes, I'm sure I don't care."
(This was only natural, since she was
not likely to become one of them.)
"So long as a man does it openly, I
sny, I don't care how many yvives he
takes at once, but to marry a sec
ond time when the poor dear first
isn't there to prevent him, I call that
mean, indeed."
Here Jack, -who only wanted to be
pleasant, put in, cheerily: "Quite
right, Miss Anstru,ther, I ogree with
you entirely. Let hint take them all
at once, I say, and the more the mer
rier," and he smiled genially at Aunt
Julia.
But his sentiments so annoyed
Celia, who is inclined to be jealous,
that she nearly began to cry, and we
had to change the conversation.
Things went on smoothly for a few
days, but gradually Aunt Julia's un
due influence over Celia began to
show Itself, and at last it became
marked, indeed.
My pretty sister came down to
breakfast with her hair pushed
straight off her face and carrying a
large book in her hand.
"Pour out Jack's tea, Dot," she
said, hastily, "because I am in a
hurry, I am going out with auntie."
"Vhere to, Celia?"
"We are going to a lecture on
Mammoth Antiquities," she said, im
portantly; and then, with a sudden
change of voice: "Oh, by the way,
the tickets art' five shillings each,
have; you a half a sovereign, dear?"
"If you stay at home Aunt Julia
will give you a lecture for nothing,"
he suggested, ns he handed her the
money.
"Yes, and she might give free illus
trations, with her hands and feet, of
the Mammoth Antiquities," I added,
pleasantly.
Celia rose with dignity.
"Please do not make fun of auntie,"
she said, coldly; "she is exceedingly
clever, and is going to help me with
my education. She has leant me this
book, to rend," she added, holding up
Whateley'a "Logic" as she spoke.
"How kind of her; you might lend
her my 'Bradshaw' in return," re
torted Jack, as he settled down to
rea'd his paper.
Poor Celia! Her symptoms became
daily worse and worse. She dressed
herself as much like Aunt Julia as
possible, and wore a coat and eklrt
with a stiff collar, instead of her
ttsual "fluffy" garments, and she read
o much (although I don't believe she
understood word she read) that she
quite wrinkled up her forehead.
Jaok was first amused and then
tarry, and finally confided In me that
to Intended to ask Aunt Julia to ro:
bet M aka to rick and Celia haa ex
XZzZoa tnm tor. X ftmaded Urn
to forbear, promising if ke woald
only wait that I would get rid of ker
myself.
This I managed to do ia a few days.
If there is one thing above another
our aunt dislikes it is music. Musle
of any kind has the same effect on
her nerves that a red rag haa on a
bull. I took advantage of this little
moral weakness (moral weakness,
vide William Shakespeare) to per
suade the next-door boy, an imp of
12, who la a great friend of mine, and
who is possessed of that terror, a
gramophone, to ait out with it in his
garden (under a bush) at about five
in the morning, and let it play and
shriek music hall songs to Aunt
Julia.
On the third day Aunt Jnlla fled to
her northern home, and Jack and. I
bought a new cricket bat between us.
But Celia, who was vexed at losing
Auntie, looked eoldly at the boy
when she met him out.
But in getting rid of Aunt Julia we
had only lost one evil, for, alas! her
work lived after her. Celia was still
bent on becoming a bluestocking.
"The higher education of women"
had become her aim in life, and the
frivolities of the season knew her no
more.
This might have been nice in its
way, hui was quiie unsuitable to
Jack's requirements, as he does not
core for the "higher education of
women" class of girl at all, an! had
chosen Celia partly on account of her
"nufttness." But I begged him not to
be downhearted, and I told him
something would be sure to transpirei
to restore Celia to her usual state of
delightful and attractive femininity.
Luckily it did; her moment of recon
version came the next evening.
I hnd with great difliculty persuad
ed her to accompany me to Lady
Elliston's ball at the Institute of
water colors. She insisted on going
in a plain black satin garment. 1 was
sitting behind a palm with a Mr.
Leonard, who was a great admirer of
Celia before she married, and my sis
ter was sitting quite near us, but not
where he could see her.
"How is Mrs. llinton? Is she here
to-night?" he usked, presently.
"Oh, yes, she Is here."
"Kenlly; 1 haven't seen her, al
though 1 looked everywhere for her.
Is she ns lovely as ever?" he added.
Involuntarily, I paused a moment,
and then said: "Oh, yes, quite, I
think."
"It's a wonder I haven't seen hor,"
he said, disappointedly. "What is she
dressed in? She dresses so beauti
fully." "She is in black," I replied, shortly.
"Well, that is a funny thing," lie
replied, "because 1 saw a woman all
in black just now, a much older wom
an than your sister, and yet a little
like her. A plain likeness, quite a
caricature, in fact, but there was a
strong likeness."
At this moment Celia, who must
have heard every word, got up, look
ing red and angry, and strolled away
across the ballrooom.
"Why, there she is," cried Mr.
Leonard, eagerly; "that is the wom
an I saw, there, crossing the ball
room. There is a likeness, isn't
there?" he added, "something In the
walk and the way she carries her
head, only, of course, this woman is
plain, while your sister is so pretty."
"It's nstonishing how often oue
sees a likeness between good-looking
and plain people," I replied, sweetly.
"And now I must try to find the real
Celia for you; come along, we'll go
and ask .lack where she is," and I led
him away in the opposite direction.
The next morning Celia cume down
to breakfast looking quite fluffy and
feminine again, and her forehead was
partly shuded with a soft urray of
little curls. Jack looked obviously re
lieved and delighted, and was quite
unusually attentive all breakfast
time. I wonder why men can never
hide their feelings; I, of course, ap
peared to notice nothing.
"Horrid dance Inst night, wasn't
it?" said Celia, ns we stood arranging
the (lowers in the hall.
"Did you think so? I enjoyed it
awfully."
"I thought it horrid," she said.
"Oh, by the way. Dot," she added,
presently, "Jack says he has aski'd
.Mr. Leonard to dinner to-night."
"Keally, is he coming?"
"Yes," answered Celia. "And, Dot,
dear, if er, he mentions last night,
or says anything about my frock,
will you that is to say "
"Quite so, my dear; I will help you
out, with pleasure."
"Oh! and, Dot, dear," she con
tinued, looking desperately uncom
fortable, "that tailor-made frock; I
I have given it to Annie (the house
maid) because it it was getting
quite worn out, wasn't it?"
"Quite, Celia," I replied, as I looked
her full in the face; "iu fact, it was
getting threadbare."
Then we both laughed.
"Poor Aunt Julia," said Celia, apol
ogetically. "She means well, Dot."
"Yes; and she hi her own goddess,
so we must forgive her," I added,
magnanimously; "besides, she has no
Jack to please, Celia."
"No, she has no Jack to please,"
agreed my sister, a little shamefaced
ly. "Poor Aunt Julia, I really do feel
sorry for her, don't you, Dot?"
"Very, dear," I replied, cheerfully.
"So sorry that I can't even bear to
think about her. Come along, we'll
go out." Chicago Tribune.

"You always get up at five o'clock
in the morning, do you?" said the in
quisitive cousin, "What do you do
with yourself at that unearthly
hour?"
"Oh, I tinker around the house till
breakfast time," replied Mr. Meeker.
"What do you tinker at?"

At the present prices that are pre
vailing for cotton seed rnd cotton
seed meal, the latter is the cheapei
and better feed. Every grower of cot
ton should also be something of a
stockman, since he is producing one
of the very best of stock foods, and
should utilize it at home so an to keep
up the fertility of the soil.
Just when to feed cotton seed and
when to feed cotton seed meal is a
question which troubles many farm
ers'. In so far as the feeding value
goes, it is true for all practical pur
poses that when what is received for
a ton of cotton seed will pay for
750 pounds of meal it ia economy to
buy meal. At the present prices it
will do more than that, and no cotton
seed should be fed this fall.
The addition of about two pounds
of cotton eeed meal per day to the
ration of corn or Kafir meal usually
fed to steers that ore being fattened
is profitable, especially when corn or
Kafir stover Is used for roughness.
The cotton seed meal supplies the
flesh and growth-making materials
which corn and Kafir corn lack and
produces' better growth and more
rapid gnlnB. It is better for this pur
pose than cotton seed because the oil
which is taken out at the mill is not
needed in the feed of cnttle that are
being fed on corn or Kafir. If the
etockmen and dairymen of the north
ern and eastern states' enn afford to
pay high freight and still use cotton
seed meal as feed for their cattle, it
would certainly be profitable for Okla
homa farmers to make use of all that
is grown here and keep our fertility
at home.
Every ton of cotton need meal Is
worth what it costs ns a fertilizer, and
when fed to cattle all this fertility is
kept nt hoime, where it belongs. Na

THE COST OF PORK
It Varlea Areordlna; to Inenllty, lint
Three Cents a Pound Is a
l'alr Averatve.
The cost of pork per pound largely
regulates the opinions in which farm
ers hold swine raising. In some local
ities the farmers claim that they enn
buy evtn their own pork cheaper than
they can raise it. Where such opin
ions prevail it is evident that the
raisers of swine have been unfortu
nate in their experiences in producing
pork or else do not know what it has
realty cost them to produce it. At
some experiments carried on at the
Maryland experiment station it was
demonstrated that on certuin foods
pork can be made at a cost of 2
cents per pound. This, of course, can
he dotio only under favorable circum
stances and where the pigs are kept
in healthful conditions. If a large per
cent, of the herd is to be permitted to
die of cholera certainly it will not
be possible to raise pork at any such
figure. As to the cost of pork produc
tion, Everything depends on the cir
cumstances in which the feeder finds
himsejf, for some have access to cheap
feeds that are not in the reach of oth
er farmers. Thus some formers live
near Creameries where the skim milk
is not valued aa it should be and is
sold by the creamery manager at one
half cent per gallon to anyone that
will take it away. The milk as a pro
ducer of pork, combined with other
feeds', is worth far more than this,
and Of course its use by the pig raiser
will result In greatly reducing the
eost of his product. It is also a well
established principle that pork Is
produced cheapest oa young hogs.
