-11 TELL, Jenny, are you ready
yet?" exclaimed Hubert
™ ™ El wood as he somewhat
impatiently paced the floor
of the study of Professor Potts in High
plane college, of which institution he
(Hubert) was a junior membr of the
faculty.
"Ob, there's plenty of time. The mat
lnee Will not begin for an hour. I hank
heaven, I'm on the last reeoid of un
cle's lecture which he is !.; deliver to
morrow." And the pre::;, nic.- • and
stenographer of Profess, ;r Tl;e..;>!ir:<«-
tus Melanchthou Potts, LL. i>., etc., oi
Hlghplane college placed the cylinder
In the phonograph and began taking
down tbe words which the professor
had spoken into It the night before.
Ur-r-r-r-r!
"In conclusion, gentlemen, I would
call your attention to the fact that Mr.
Herbert v.peiieer makes use of the neb
ular hypothesis In the formation of our
planet, which is to 'be finally dissipated
into the attenuated matter out of which
It arose.' and .Mr. Darwin declares that
the noble (?) end to be attained by man,
t! .■ object of evolution, is 'the rearing
of the greatest number of individuals
in full health and vigor and with ail
their faculties pel feet uuder the condi
tions to which they are subject.' What
a 'l*me and impotent conclusion' to all
the grand aspirations of Milton and
Shakespeare, of painter or sculptor, of
philosopher or scientist! That end were
better attained by the repr< .tlve sav
age, the swarming yel' man, the
Moslem polygamist or ' sturdy Mor
mon. And theu when w'<} have attained
this grand anticlimax we will be 'dissi- j
pated Into attenuated matter," and the
same fool process will begin over again. |

Bang! Br-r-r-r-r-r!
At first Jenny tried to keep up her
stenographic report, but as matters be
gan to get mixed she stayed her pencil
and leaned back In her cha • a prey to
varying feelings. Surprise, sorrow at
the quarrel between her uncle and aunt
and an urgent desire to burst into
laughter at the absurdity of tbe situa
tion struggled for the mastery. She
could picture the gentle professor—mild
in all matters except In the enthusias
tic opposition with which lie confronted
the materialistic tendencies of the ago
—harried to death by his s'olding wife
as she stood behind his chair uncon
sciously registering herself in the in
strument.
Hubert had stopped his promenade
and was now writhing in a rocking
chair in incipient convulsions.
"It's a shane to laugh," Jenny said.
"Think of po old uncle going through
oil of that, and that was only the be
ginning. But it's time togo to the mat
inee. I'll put the record away, for an
idea has sti ip. I'll think it out at

• ••*•*•
The lecture, amended and excised at
the latter end, was delivered with great
eclat. Professor Theophrastus Me
lanchthon Potts, having insisted on
hearing his record repeated and having
directed Jenny to v..stroy It, which she
(lid not do, was very silent and was ev
idently weighing something carefully in
his mind. Finally he said:
"Jenny, do you am at ail to
blame?"
"Well, yes, uncle, in one way—you
are too much absorbed in your studies
and forget everything else."
"I thought so; 1 thought so." he mut
tered.
It was the beginning of the summer
• vaeation„and Mrs. Potts and the clill-
J dren had already departed for
Peach, where they were to spend the
next nix weeks.
A few days later Jenny and Hubert
I were in the study conspiring. AH a re
sult of their conclave Jenny sat down
at the typewriter and hammered off kie
following:
Hlghplane College. .
Mrs. Potts. Beach:
Coma home next Thursday evening
without telling any one. Slip Into the
house at 9 p m.and hldo in the little
anteroom to the professor's study. You
| will hear something to your advantage.
' The professor will not be there alone.
| (Signed; A FRIEND.
"Well, you are a born casuist, Jenny,
j 'Will not be there alone.' That's good.
I He won't be there at all. He won't be
houie from the faculty banquet before
10 p. ill."
At !) p. in. sharp Thursday evening
I Mrs. Potts turned the latchkey in th:
hall door of her home. Stealing quietly
In and creeping from the hall into the
anteroom noiselessly, she nut her ear to
the keyhole of the study coor.
Her bosom heaved with a tumult of
| emotion. She was torn with rage and
; jealousy. In the paroxysms of anger to
I which she had been used to give way
| and which had begun to become chron
■ lc the accusations of unfaithfulness
| and her own jealousy were simply in
j vented and feigned a.s a scourge for her
j husband an<~ M a weapon of offense.
Hut now she l'elt the pangs of that
most frightful of all sufferings, and
I the tooth of the serpent was deeply
bi.rled in her bosom.
A confused murmur was all that was
at lirst audible, but as her breath and
pulse, accelerated by the exertion of
hurrying from the depot, calmed some
what she heard these words in the
voice of Potts:
"My love"—ba-a-a—"still a moment"
—ba-a-a. A woman's voice between
sobs, "You've disgraced ine"— ba-a-a.
Potts again, "I'll get a divorce or any
thing you like if you'll only let me"—
She could stand it no longer, but,
bouncing into the room, screamed:
"Oh, you faithless, heartless scoun
drel! And as for you, you shameless
*vo"—
She stopped transfixed. There was no
one there. .
Hut "the phonograph played on."
Br-r-r-r-r. ,
Two pairs of eyes peeping through
the door of the conservatory marksd
her stand for a moment stunned, then
sink into a chair and listen open mouth
ed to the phonograph as it completed
its record, then arise slowly, adjust the
machine again, wind and start it, then
listen attentively to the strange med
ley it produced, paling and reddening
by turns and ending her performance
In a storm of tears and sobs.
After a time she calmed, rose, wiped
her eyes, adjusted her hair and, taking
up a newspaper, sat down to wait. The
first thing that struck her eye was the
announcement tn flaring headlines:
Lecture by Professor Theophrastus Mt
lanchthon Potts, LL D., on the False
Conclusions of the Evolutionist.
She read with interest the excerpts of
the lecture and what, in the argot of
the newspapers, "lie said in part," mean
ing, of course, part of what he said,
and for the first time In her life felt
pride in her husband's learning and re
morse for her want of appreciation of
him.
As she sat there reading the conclud
ing lines the door opened and Professor
Potts stood, astonished, on the thresh
old. A moment, and then he stepped
forward briskly, greeting her with a
smile and a kiss.
"Why, what a delightful surprise!
But you must be hungry. Let me order
you some supper."
Mrs. Potts, wondering at the cor
diality of the professor, replied:
"Walt a moment, dear. Before we do j
anything else I want to ask your par
don for the past and promise"—
"Oh, cut that short, dear! That's just
what I was going to do myself, only
you forestalled me."
"I've been listening to the phono
graph"—
"So've I, and I see we've reached the
same conclusion, so enough's said. Give j
me a kiss."
A smothered "Ha, ha!" from the cou
servatory brought the professor with a
"on, YOU F.iITHLKSS, HEAKTLESS SCOVN
DKEL!"
bound *) thrf door, and his voice halted
the cuiprits before they could escape in
to the gard.-n. looking rather shame
faced, Jenny and Hubert came in.
"I suppose we've got to thank you
rascals for this. Let's burn the record
and goto supper."
"No, no," said Mrs. Potts. "I'll lock
it up for ust in case we have a relapse."

As a weduing present a few months
later Jenny received a phonograph with
the following prescription:

GETTING IN THE WALNUTS.
An Intluntry That Clones California
Country School*.
The first English walnut orchard in
California was planted with seed from
the Los Angeles mission gardens, where
the padres had started a few trees with
nuts brought with them from Spain.
The undertaking was a success from
the first, and ihe acreage of walnuts
has steadily increased. The walnut
tree's early age of bearing, its long life
and the steady demand for its product
tend to make the enterprise deservedly
popular.
The walnut tree begins to bear when
six or seven years old, and nothing is
known definitely of its age limit of
bearing. Fabulous stories are told of
trees in Spain one or two centuries old
bearing enormous crops. The oldest
trees in California are still bearing, but
deductions from the short history al
ready made show that the tree is in ita
prime from its twenty-fifth to its thir
tieth year. Fifteen hundred pounds of
nuts to the acre is a good average yield,
i taking seventy-five pounds the average
weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the
middle of September and las's nearly
six weeks. The nuts begin to fall with
the leaves, and the perfect cultivation
under the trees leaves no chance for
them to losj' themselves among clods
or weeds. The brown dead leaves
alone hide the nuts. Under normul con
ditions they drop free from the outer
husk, or hull, through its Irregular
bursting, and getting the nuts picked
up is a simple matter. Sometimes tho
trees are well irrigated just before har
v»rst time to Insure the clean dropping
of the nuts.
Boys and girls, men and women, Jap
anese and Chinese, are all pressed into
service, and on hands and knees the
great orchards are gone over, not once,
but several times, on account of the ir
regular ripening of the nuts. The trees
are occasionally shaken during the sea
son to loosen the nuts, and before the
last gleaning they are "poled" to start
the very tardy ones. This is done by
long, coarse bamboo poles, whose light
weight makes them easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for a "walnut
vacation." The help ol the children is
needed, and the children are nothing
loath to replenish their diminished
purses. Pails, cans and gunnysacks are
scattered among the pickers, and when
the bags are full they are carried to
the drying grounds, where they are
spread out oil slat trays to dry.—He

ALL THE STATES AT
THE WORLD'S FAIR
Many Beautiful Pavilions and Preten
tious Buildings Show Forth the
Enterprise of American
Commonwealths.
A beautiful city has grown up among
j the trees on the World's Fair grounds
lat St. Louis. It has nothing to do with
• the immense exhibit palaces, but is a
I tiling apart. Tlie houses in this new
j city are of various styles of architec
| ture. Some are palatial In size aud ap
i pea ranee, while others look merely cozy
and inviting. Never before have so
many notable and historic buildings
' been constructed in one group. This
| new city might be called the City of
! the States, for the houses included in it
j are the state buildings at the Fair.
The city is not compact, but some
j what straggling, as befits the pictur
esqueness of the view. Yet there is
: nothing suggestive of a Stringtown
j on-the-Plke about this city, for the
grounds surrounding each of the houses
! are beautified with gardens typical of
I the state represented.
All the states are to be represented
at the World's Fair. This means a
great deal, a shining triumph for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and
furnishes another illustration of the
fact that this Exposition's complete
ness is the marvel of the age.
Fifty-one states, territories and pos
sessions of the United States have
taken the steps necessary to partici
pate in the World's Fair on an impor
tant scale. But two states were still
outside the fold at the last report, and
lu each of these was a well defined
movement in favor of being represent
ed at tlie Fair with buildings and ex
hibits. New Hampshire, the old home
state, and Delaware are the states re
ferred to. In New Hampshire a fund
for participation is being raised pri
vately by patriotic citizens, so that in
the event of legislative inaction this
commonwealth may be represented.
The states and territories are ex
pending over 57.000.000 in their efforts
to show off to best advantage at the
Exposition. This is a million and a
third more than was expended at the
Chicago exposition by tlie states. In
addition to this, large cities in many
states will have municipal exhibits, the
funds for which are not included in
these figures. The municipal exhibit
idea is entirely novel. From a number
of the states there will be prominent
j county exhibits provided by special ap
j propriation of county funds.
This City of the States presents a
picture of surpassing beauty. Nature
has done much to aid in the creation
of the picture. Never before has any
exposition been able to grant such ad
vantageous sites for state buildings.
The buildings are situated on a plateau
about seventy-five feet higher than the
level ground to the north upon which
stand the main exhibit palaces. There
are hills and ravines here and there,
enabling the landscaplsts to lay out a
most delightful pattern of roads and
terraces and lawns.
The smallest of the state buildings is
that of Arizona, which stands near the
southeastern entrance to the grounds.
One of tbe largest is that of Missouri,
from the dome of which It Is said that
perhaps the very finest view of the
Exposition may be enjoyed. Tills
building is a palace in the Italian re
naissance architecture, built at a cost
of $105,000. Near by Is the reproduc
tion of the Cabildo at New Orleans, In
which the Louisiana Purchase transfer
ceremonies took place Louisiana's
state building. Ohio has a clubhouse
of highly ornate design. In the architec
ture of the French renaissance. Illi
nois is prominent with a most pre
tentious structure, with wide verandas
and a commanding cupola.
A description of each of the state
buildings, with any detail, would more
than fill a newspaper page. It is only
possible here to hint at some of the
interesting structures. California, for
Instance, has reproduced in exact size
the famous old La Itablda Mission.
Connecticut presents a replica of the
Sigourney residence at Hartfo»d, home
of the poetess Lydla Iluntley Sigour
ney in her time. This building is said
to be the finest specimen of purely
colonial architecture now standing.
The New Kentucky Home, from the
Blue Gmss State. Is a handsome club
house that would make some of the
mansions along Fifth avenue, New
York city, look insignificant. Benu
volr, tlio ut old house which Jef
ferson Davis owned and occupied fur
many years, is reproduced by Missis
sippi. Its wide verandas or galleries
give it a most inviting appearance.
Washington's headquarters at Morris
town, X. J., are reproduced by New
Jersey. Virginia contributes Monti
cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.
The state of Washington contributes
a structure of unique design. It is
called the Wigwam, live stories
high, br'~! jf wood from Washington
forests. The building is octagonal,
with gigantic diagonal timbers rising
from the ground and meeting in an
apex ninety feet In the air, above
which Is built an observatory, from
which a splendid view of the Exposi
tion may be had. An elevator will
carry visitors to the observatory.
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ar
kansas, Colorado, West Virginia. In
diana, Wisconsin, Texas and many
other states are represented by build
ings which cannot fail to arouse ad
miration. The Texas building is In
the shape of a five pointed star, an
appropriate Idea for the big Lone
Star State. lowa has a magnificent
mansion, with classic porticoes and a
antral tower containing an observa
tory ehambei. Kansas, Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma each uphold the
growing reputation of the southwest
for enterprise and fertility of re
sources.

In New Caledonia there is said to be
an herb which lias the rare property
of revealing one's secrets. It Is known
as the Datura stramonium and has
white flowers and rough berries full of
dark grains. They are treated of in the
"Annals of Hygiene and Colonial Med
lcinc." A person who has swallowed
the tea made of this herb will after
falling asleep tell where his money is
hidden and will also arise and go di
rect to where liis treasure Is concealed.
Kobbers often use this tea as knockout
drops with which to rob their victims.
A Su h*t i t ii(«» Fop I.atln.
In an English school recently a cer
tain boy was regularly absent during
the hour in which Latin was taught.
The teacher called upon the boy's fa
ther, at whose instructions it had been
learned he remained away, and asked
for an explanation. The father said:
"It Is all right. During the Latin hour
I am teaching Jimmy something that
he will find far more useful than Latin
In his progress through life." The
teacher was interested and asked
what this subject might be. The fa
ther replied, "I am teaching my son
how to shnVe without a looking glass. '
GLOVES IN EARLY DAYS.
Tliey Witi- Often -Inlie to Itrpresent i
fln» .Man Who Wore Tlicm.
In tlie early days everything was not 1
regulated for tlie people, as it is now,
by tiie government and the law courts.
Europe was stiii young then, and peo
ple had rough and ready means of deal- j
ing with one another, of buying and j
selling or giving goods and property j
and settling disputes. A glove, as it
was very close indeed to a man's hand, j
came in course of time to be looked j
upon as taking the place of the hand it- j
self, and sometimes took the man's j
place and was made to represent him. i
For example, to open a fair it was j
necessary then to have the consent and
protection of the great lord in whose i
country it was going to be held. Those !
who wished to open the fair would i
Come to the nobleman and petition him '
to be present. He might be very busy,
or bored at the idea of having togo, yet ,
he would know that it must be opened j
or his people would be discontented, j
So he would say to the leaders of the
people: "No, my trusty fellows, I can't j
open the fair in person, but I will send
my glove to do it. You all know my
glove. Nobody has one like it in the
country. It is the one my lady mother '
embroidered for me in colored silks and !
silver wire, and it has a deep violet 1
fringe. You can hang It above the en- I
trance of your fair grounds as a sign !
that you are acting with my permis- j
sion. If any one disputes your right or j
touches his master's I will attend 1
to him; that's all!" So the glove would
travel instate to open the fair.—St.
Nicholas.
A. Homeless Community.
Some people live In New York; others
exist. It is certain that a majority of
our citizens never owned a home. They
live in rented flats or houses all their
lives and do not know the meaning of
possession. Many millionaires dwell |
in hired residences. Their homes are
in other states, but they must be In
Fifth avenue during the social season, j
and they must keep house. Philadel- i
phia lias been spoken of as a "com- 1
munlty of homes." New York Is a com ;
munlty of rents. More than half of our
people don't know what it Is to pay I
taxes. Their obligations of citizenship
are settled by the landlord, who takes
everything out in the rent. We are
becoming a characterless mob.—Ntnr

The "Weepliiff Willow" Hong,
Some people have heard of the ballad
containing tlie words "I'll hang my
harp on a weeping willow tree," but
perhaps it is not generally known that
the author was a young man who fell
desperately in love with Queen Victo
ria, at that time a girl of seventeen.
This young lover was heir to a baronet

ty in the guise of a suitor, though It
took some time before the romantic
youth could be brought to understand
this fact. When at last he did so, he
sat down in despair and wrote the now
well known ballad, which was at that
time published in a London paper, and
then lie emigrated to Australia.

which is and that at this rate
the graveyards of the various coun
tries will contain In 300 years from
now *1 r,0,000,00<> worth of gold.
