\ HIS WIFE'S
STRATEGY

"Martha ai<> you there?" called
Farmer Milton from the back door
step.
What is it, pa?" asked his wife as
the appeared with a disli in her hand.
There's Jim Thomas coming down
the road."
"Well, what of it?"
"He look* all dressed up."
"lie's probably going to a dance
Hoinewhere."
"He's probably coming right here to
see our Minnie."
"Then he'll have greased his boots
for nothing Minnie ain't wonting hor
time 011 110 such fellows as Jim
Thomas."
The farmer had more to say, but be
fore he eoiiiil say it Jim Thomas hod
arrived He was a young man of
twenty five who had no particular oc
cupation, but traded horses, helped to
put up windmills and now and then
acted as a piano agent.
He sat down beside the farmer,
reached for his jackknlfe and a stick
and proceeded to whittle and talk.
Mrs. Milton came to the door to shake
the tablecloth aud gave him a nod,
but during the two hours he remained
he saw nothing of Minnie. He seemed
much disappointed.
When he had departed the farmer en
tered the sitting room and said to the
wife:
"Look a here, Martha, what's the use
In hurting a fallow's feelings?"
"What fellow?"
"Jim Thomas, of course. You didn't
say three words to him, and Minnie
didn't appear at all. It was a reg'lar
snub, and 1 felt sorry for him."
"Then your sympathies aro wasted.
I want to tell you that Jim Thomas is
a sneak, and If Minnie ever speaks to
him again I'll box her ears, though she
is going on nineteen years old."
The farmer sat down and pulled off
his bt>ots.
"Martha," he began, "I've kuown for
two weeks that there was something
up and that Minnie and you were keep
ing It from me. Now. then, I want to
know all about it. Jim Thomas was
down in the lot where I was at work
today, and lie had just begun to tell
me that Minnie ,nd Ibirt Anderson were
mad at each other when Klder Davis
came along and hung around so long
that Jim had t > go before finishing tils
Btorx You might as well tell me the
whole storj'."
"I told you Jim was a sneak," an
swered the wife. "If he hadn't been
there wouldn't have been any fuss be
tween Minnie and Hurt, and If he
hadn't been he wouldn't have shown
his face here tonight."
"This seen s to be a 'tarnal nice how
dydo two folks engaged lo be married
and lighting like cats and dogs. What's
the row about?"
"Nothing but Hurt's Jealousy. Min
nie wrote hor name in an autograph
album, and Burt found it out through
Jim Thomas and gave her a blowing
up al. nit it. She I hack, and he
got mad. and that's tlie reason he
hasn't been here for the last two
weeks."
"What in thunder is an aw-to-graff
album?" asked the husband after think
Ing for a minute or two.
'"lt's a b 10k that folks write their
names in.and you needn't swear about
it. It belotr-ed to a summer boarder
down at Scott's."
"And ail she did was to write her
name in it?"
"That's ail. though Jim made Hurt
believe the fellow was struck on Min
nie and said -lie had eyes like a sloe."
"Wli it sjit of a critter Is u sloe?"
"I don't know, and I don't care, and
I want to till you that you are not to
mix Into this business."
"Hut ain't I her father, and ain't It
my business togo to Hurt Anderson
and tell liiin th at Minnie is a hundred
times too pood for him."
"No sir, it ain't! Abijali Milton, you
are a thh4 headed man, and you nre
so nearsighted that you run against
fences. If yon had your way you'd
spoil your only daughter's happiness
forever. Non are not going to have
"your waj You are going to fold your
arms and keep still and let me work
this thing out myself.
"By thunder, Martha, but"—
"Swearing some more! No wonder
y■■•ll have become afraid of lightning!
Swearing won't help you, however.
You have £,ot to do as I say. If Jim
Thomas conn's around again you can
talk about windmills all you want to,
but don't taik about Minnie. If you see
Burt Anderson use him Just as you al
ways have. The rest can be left to
me."
"And what'li you do?" asked the hus
band and father.
"You wait and see. If you don't see
Hurt Anderson around here in less than
two weeks then my name wasn't Mar
tha Tompkins before I married you,
and I didn't take a prize selling the
whole school down."
"I don't 'o how" Hut she Inter
rupted h yitig it was time to wind
the doi . i goto lied, and during the
in !• »1. y-j she resolutely refused
to : nsi t i word whenever he ap

"lord, no "

to?"
' lb' i-.lght pet tip a sort of hen can

"Suppo ••." continued the wife, "that

cnt-i with the whip, would he break
Into a canter?"
'I guess h - WOllld. Yes, he'd I*' so
i-toni-li' .| that he would probably dust
along for 11 few rods."
"And would he keep to the road?"
' I guess he would. What are you
ysking all these questions for?"
"Perhaps I'll tell you this eveulng.
I'on't bother me now, as I've got three
pans of milk to skim."
I inner Milton had no sooner left the
house for the fields next morning than
his wife be. in lixing up a crock of
butter for the village grocer, whllo
Minnie harnessed the old horse to the
democrat v ■u< 111 and pot ready to drive
to town
"Now. 'h 11, renicmlter what I've told
you. When you come along to the corn
field keep } ur eyes straight In front of
you ami don't look around even If Hurt

"I understand," nodded the daugh
ter
"ikini't a t tin. screaming part."
'"No. but «!«• you suppose"—
"There is no supposing about it. I
am your mother, and 1 am no spring
chicken. Now goon with you."
Hurt Anderson was working in the
cornfield that morning within two rods
of the highway when ho caught the
pounding of hoofs and the rattle of
wheels and looked up to see Minnie
Milton driving by lb* dropped his hoe
and opened tils mouth to call, but she
struck the horse with the wldp as if to
hurry on. lie couldn't say that she
saw him, but he thought she did, and
tiie thought hardened his heart. Ib
had forgiven tier "sass" days and days
ago and was ready to "make tip," but
tiiis action on her part showed that she
was .punishing him. From then until 3
o'clock in the afternoon the young man
managed to lioe about twelve hills of
corn. The rest of the time was spent
in sulking or sitting on the fence and
looking down the village road. His
waiting and sulking was rewarded at
last. A mile away arose a cloud of
dust kicked up by old Charlie's feet,
and as it drew nearer and nearer the
young man prepared to drop off the
fence and hide. Minnie should not
have the pi isure of flouting him again
He was on the ground when he heard
a woman's screams for help. He heard
the hoof boats of a horse on the gallop,
lie heard the clatter of a rickety old
one horse wagon.
It was a runaway. F.urt Anderson
saw that it was the instant lie got his
head above the fence. It was Minnie
returning home. The lines had fallen
under the horse's feet, and she was
standing up and swaying from side to
side and screaming. There was a hero
and a rescue. There were explana
tions. There was 110 apology to old
Charlie, though lie certainly deserved
one.
"No, I'm 110 spring chicken!" observ
ed fanner Milton's wife to herself sis
she stood "t 1"i" g;«to and saw that
liurt Anderson was driving Minnie
home and that Minnie's red cheeks had
come back to her.
"Say, now, but how diil you manage
it?" whispered the husband to the wife
that evening as the two lovers had the
piazza to themselves.
"Manage what?" was the reply iu a
puzzled voice. "A 1 >i j;ifi Milton, you
are the most thick hwuled man I ever
saw. I low did I manage it'. Just is
if I"« 1 be >:i managing something -<•<>.i
spiring air', plotting and all that sort
of thing! Th-re are certainly times
when you m.U.e a body tired!"

In the earl., (lays of the nlfragist
movement Susan H. A :11 >n\ had
no more bit'.> '' opponent tliap Horace
Greeley. s.i\.- i writer in the K 'ston
Transcript. !t was for a long time his
custom to wind up all debates with
the conclusive remark, "The liest wo
men 1 know do not want to vote."
When the New York constitution was
being altered iu Im>7 Miss Anthony
laid a train for him. She wrote to
Mrs. Greeley and persuaded the c !
ltor's wife n<>t only t-> sign a petition
for woman's suffrage herself, but to
circulate the paper and get Si<H) signa
tures among her acquaintances In the
committee Mr. Greeley, who was chair
man, had listened to the debate and
prepared to introduce to the conven
tion an ad\erse report. lb* was just
about to uit t his usual "settler" when
George William »'urti- rose.
"Mr. Chairman." said he."l hold in
my hand a petition 112• >f suffrage signed
by 800 women of Westchester, beaded
by Mrs. Horace (ireeley"
The chairman's embarrassment could
hardly be controlled. He had found
at least one of"the l>esi women I
know" wanted to vote, but he reveng
ed himself later upon the leaders by
scathing editorials.

SAINT OF THE COOKS.
A Quern of tlie Ciillniirj Art V.ho
Lived In Genoa.
Banta Zita, as the patron saint of the
cooks Is named, lived, it appears, at
Genoa aud was there canonized. She
eould, so runs the legend, cook better
thau any chef within 300 miles of the
town, which, we all know, is noted for
Its wonderful soups and dumplings,
though of course in the latter indi
gestible article of food outrivaled by
Vienna, since it is one of the chief ar
ticles In the religion of gastronomy
that It is only in the kaiserstadt that
the "glose" is in perfection. Santa
Zita was, it seems, not less famous for
her piety than for cooking and was a
constant attendant at the cathedral
during high mass.
One day, however, she fell into a
trance, so called though, in plain Eng
lish, a good, sound sleep and quite
forgot that she had to produce sin ex
ceptionally tine dinner for a large com
pany On awakening she hurried forth
from the sacred edifice In a way which
was far Indeed from her wont, but on
reaching the kitchen what was her
surprise and delight to find a party of
cherub celestials busy cooking there
quired dinner. She <lid not interfere,
but was at first not unwilling to accept
the praise which was lsn i ■•lied on her
culinary success. She soon repented,
however, and told the world the truth
about the spiritual and miraculous help
she had received, and it was agreed 0:1
all sides that she deserved to l>e canon
lzed. Accordingly she became Santa
Zita, I „omlo:i Queen.

I inked up to see her mother In
• do-rand dropped the warm cloak
•lie about to put on. She was a
geulle girl, so unassuming that
her dark prettiness was more unno
ticed than it deserved to be. It had
been long since John had come to see
her in tin- old friendly fashion of the
time before Uose I.isle moved to their
town. The girl gave another touch to
her smooth hair. Iler mother stood
watching her and then remarked:
"Mrs. Dent told me today that John
and Hose have been out for over a
month. He has just come home. If a
quarrel wKh Hose is all that sends him
to you, I should think that"— Elsie
wheeled impatiently.
"Mother, John and 1 have always
been good friends, and 1 shall not ques
tion any motive that.brings him to see
me. 1 shall alw ays bo the same to him.
You can't expect a man so deeply In
love as he is with I.to be regular In
his attention to 1.: - girl friends. And
no one co;.. • help loving a beauty like
Uose. She's good too."
Elsie grei ted John as if she had seen
him yesterday and soothed his evident
ly overwrought mood with a gentle,
had laughing tact, lie was tall and
blood, with line blue eyes which to-
wvre clouded, and his face was
a 1 i*.ll • - careworn. Sometimes he gave
random answers as if he had not heard
what she said. Alter a half uneasy
hour of the March twilight he turned

for her patience with him.
• Elsie, am 1 keeping you iu? I have
not thought to ask if you were going

I ;• If that inaction was not good in

We used to iii. • 'pushing the wind' to

Elsie put on her cloak and little red
<-ap. and the two young people started
aw ay.
Rose lived not far from them, and as
they passed tile house both could not
avoid what they saw. I'roni the broad
front windows the light streamed
brightly. The shades were not drawn.
Rose sat at the piano, and over her in
rapt attention stood Norman Cady.
John almost dragged Elsie past, though
he said nothing, lie did not know that
he gripped her arm till it hurt and
that he was walking at a pace that
would have put a less healthy girl than
Elsie utterly out of breath.
it was a raw night, with a sharp
wiiul. The moon was high and eold,
and the sky was streaked with flying
clouds. The road was good, and they
walked on and on, out of the town and
aloug the river road. The girl was un
willing to disturb her companion's si
lent mood and swung gladly beside
him. At length they reached the boat
house and a great pile of rough logs
in a sheltered corner. John stopped
here and proposed resting.
"Elsie," he said, "I must have tired
you all out. 1 am a selfish brute to
drair you about like this. I was trying
to get away from myself by reminding
myself what a stanch friend you have
always been. I had not intended to
tell you my troubles, but I think I
must if you will let me."
"Tell me about it," she replied in the
matter of fact comrade's way that
made confidences easy.
"All right, but you must not try to
help me. No one run do that. 1 sim

settle down to forgetting as fast as 1

make it easier for him.

■very nigut she was heartless enough to
smile and nod and blush at uie at a
concert where we were and seemed to i
think 1 would see her home the same !
as ever! Then the next time we met i
she did not « > en speak!"
"Are you sure she received it?"
"Yes. I sent it by my brother, and j
he put it Into her own hand. He did j
not wait for an answer. She could |
have sent that anyway. Well, then I
went away a few weeks. I could not I
stand it here, and now that I am back j
it is worse than ever. 1 despise myself |
for caring, but 1 hate Norman Catly for
being near her. 1 thought if I told you,
perhaps just putting it Into words
would wear off some of rny anger and
help me fort-ret her. Elsie, be good to
me and help rae forget her. Will you?"
The girl touched his arm with her
hand.
"You should goto her and have It
out in words. There may be some mis
take."
"There is no mistake. She was sim
ply playing with me. Elsie, you wero
always my comrade, lie so now iu time
of need." Elsie laughed, but it hurt
her a little.
"Very well, John, come to me when
ever you want to. We will talk and
walk and you shall try to forget. I
will not fall you."
March was gone and April had had
her last day of u r ice. It was the even
ing before May day. Elsie, happy
hearted, was waiting ou the porch lu
the twilight. John was to come. Now
lie nearlj always came. They wero
going for another walk in the spring
twilight to wander across the green
hills and back along the roadways In
the white moonlight. Elsie thought
only of the moment, but she could not
help a little throb of gladness that die
so seldom spoke of Hose. She did not,
as at first, regret the coolness that had
sprung up between her and Hose.
Nothing seemed to matter but being
happy without thinking why. John
called her "sister" half Jokingly, but
with entire affection, and while he
sometimes wandered off Inconsolately
by himself he seemed content to be
with her. And so she waited. As she
waited her ti i'teen-year-old brother call
ed distress! giy from his room:
"Sis. for <• .ilness sake get my good
coat fr*■;i 111- closet#lll the hall! I'm
goln' to b: IMe to that party."
Elsie v. ,it to the dark closet and
cii!' rged wi.h a eoat. She knocked at
his door.
"Oh. eon • on in and help me with
this fool ti •! Great snakes, If you
haven't Rot tli<* wrong coatl Just like
a j.h'l! llaven'l worn that old thing
since winter!" lie snatched It from
her impatiently upside down. A letter
fell from the pocket.
Elsie pick 1 it up, and as she glanced
at the address her face went white.
"Terry! What is this'?"
At the sound of her voice he turned
to look, and then stood stricken with
tardy penitence. It was addressed to
John Copeland, and in the lower left
corner was inscribed lit Rose's hand,
"Kindness of Terry." Terry stared
and struggled with the refractory tie.
"A pretty mess! Rose gave me that
months ag> >. and I promised to take It
straight t<> John. And like a fool I for
got!" 'I lieu lie cheered up. "Well,
they're off anyway now. Probably
she'll be gl (1 he never saw it. I will
take it hack to her tomorrow." He
wondered : ' the strange brightness of
his sister's eyes, at the extreme white
ness of her face.
"Gee! Not even Rose can touch you
for looks, Sis. I don't wonder that
John" She turned from him as John's
whistle s Minded below. She still held
the letter.
• I shall give it to John. It Is his. I
shall tell him you forgot. I'*—
Then she went down to John.
He sat contentedly on the porch with
his hat pushed back on his fair head,
lie looked careless and happy enough.
At her approach lie rose.
"It idy, 1- iter?" Her smile was odd,
and she held the letter out to him. She
spoke as if she had been running:
"John, take this into the parlor and
read it. No one is there. I told you
there was a mistake. It is to you from
Itose. She gave it to Terry, and he for
got it. I jilt found it in the pocket of
his winter coat." John did not know
he almo-it snatched it from her hand.
When he came back from the parlor
his face was shining.
-nisi.-, you are an angel! You have
the heart of a sister! You have given
her back to iik*. She did love ine. She
does! I"-
Elsie smiled and gave him a brave
little push.
"Well, you silly boy, goto her this
minute!"
lli> snatched her hand and pressed it
hard. Then lie v.ent from her with an
eager swiftness that he had never
shown in coming to her. She knew It—
she had always known It, but never
theless it was uot easy to see. And un
der her breath she whispered bravely:
"The heart of a sister!"
The Itnbbcr*!# tirave at MontKomrry,
In a corner of the churchyard of
Montgomery, writes a correspondent,
is a bare space, known as "the rob
ber's grave." It is not a raised mound
of earth, but Is below the surround
ing ground, which is especially luxuri
ant. The date of the grave Is 1821, and
numerous attempts have been made to
grow grass upon the bare spot. Fresh
soil was frequently spread upon it, but
not a blade of grass is to be seen. The
shape of a cross is still distinctly visi
ble. It Is the grave of a man named
Newton, charged with highway rob
bery ami violence and sentenced to be
hanged. lb* protested his innocence,
"in meek dependence of a merciful
God, whom 1 have offended, but who,
through the atonement of his blessed
Son, has, ! trust, pardoned my offenses,
I venture to assert that If I am inno
cent of the crime for which I suffer the
grass for one generation at least wHI

bear witn« s that never since they
were children has there been i/rass on

HANDLING MONEY.
It In No Temptation to the Sraaonrd
liank Teller.
"Money? Don't the Bight of so much
of it make me hungry for It? Not at
all. To tell the truth, It Is like so much
mud to me."
Thus spoke a teller in a Denver bank.
Ho was talking to a young man out
side lhe cage. On the counter were
heaped piles of gold and silver coin
and bunches of paper money.
"I'm sure I couldn't stand tho con
stant temptation to appropriate it for
my own use," said the man outside.
"Yes, you could," replied the teller.
"You could easily after being in here
a week. For tho first few days the
money would look pretty good to you,
and you'd have to use your will power
to keep away from it, hut after a week
or so it doesn't seem like money. It
seems like merely an article you deal
In, just as potatoes seem to the grocer.
There isn't a sixty dollar a month bank
Clerk in a thousand who thinks of
stealing the money he handles unless
ho Is in debt and la being crowded for
funds. To the bank employee who has
his debts paid and has enough to keep
from thinking of an urgent for
cash money has no value. Handling
money is just like eating to a teller.
As long as he has enough food In his
stomach he has no desire for more
and even a l>lg, fine, juicy steak has
no temptation for him. But let him
get good and hungry, and he'll covet
that steak. Tho only way for a man
who handles money in a hank to be
free from the temptation to**appropri
ate it Is to keep out of debt and not
develop any urgent and expensive am
bitlons." —Denver Post.
THE PARLOR.
It Is llnpiilly tiecomliiK »■> Apartment
of the Past.
The American parlor is a thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland l'lain Dealer. No more will
there he a room reserved for state oc
casions, such as the receiving of form
al calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
"We never take the parlor into con
sideration any more," said a Cleveland
architect recently. "The parlor is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
in so much reverence in the old days,
has no place In modern architecture.
"The demand is for a large living
room in a small house, together with a
dining room and kitchen. In a larger
house there is usually a large living
room, library, 'den,' dining room and
kitchen.
"I had a client yesterday who desired
to have a reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have a sort of recep
tion room in connection with the hall
way.
"When the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change, but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room, isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re
ceived. Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
"In these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit of
the family minister or the physician."
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun
try parlor, with all its memories of vis
itors. courtship and occasions which
left impressions which have not beeu
eradicated by the strenuous age of to
day.
BUNDLE HANDKERCHIEFS.
Introduced Into New England by the
Salem Sen Captains.
Housewives of today would notkuow
what was meant by the bundle hand
kerchief, yet 100 years ago the woman
who did not have a pile of them neatly
folded and Ironed and laid away in
smooth piles in a drawer of one of the
capacious closets which wero then
built Into houses was considered a poor
housekeeper. The bundle handkerchief
was tirst introduced by the Salem sea
captains. It was brought from abroad
with choice things, such as sandalwood
fans, «uava Jelly and amber beads.
Those Imported were the white India
silk and were used to tie around the
"best cap" box when ladles went out to
spend tho afternoon. Those of home
make were of squares of calico or mus
lin and used for everyday bundles.
When ladies went visiting to other
towns their piles of dainty, handmade
underware were wrapped In fine lawn
or linen handkerchiefs sweet with lav
ender and orris. A new gown always
came home from the dressmaker's care
fully pinned In a thin, worn and much
Used madras handkerchief.
No Salem infant was considered to
have been properly introduced to so
ciety til) it had dangled In a bundle
handkerchief from a pair of steelyard
scnles.
When the servants went to the bak
ery they carried a couple of coarse blue
checked bundle handkerchiefs, and In
one was wrapped the pot of beans, and
in the other was wrapped the brown
bread.
I.nnilnouN I'tantfi.
In his book entitled "Luminous J
Plants" I lol'cssor Molisch explains the j
light which Is often seen radiating from j
Stumps of old trees. It is due to ml- i
croscoplc animals, fungoids, which on a ■
diminutive scale have the exact torm j
of mushrooms. These parasites live '
only so long us sup and strength re- !
main in tire wood. Similarly the "plios- i

sea comes from the animals which live j

RAMBLER ROSES.
The red rambler roses which appear
about town in such profusion,are now
at their very best. There is scarcely
a squat',• in Danville or Riverside
where the rich warm colored' the ram
blers are not in evidence among the
shrubbery. Wherever tliej' are seen they
enrich the beauty of the lawn. The
premises of A. (J. Ameshury, Church
street, can probably boast of the most
beautiful profusion of rambler roses to
be found in this section. Not only are
the vines extensive, and admirably
trained,hilt the roses are well develop
ed and grow on every spot, in rich and
luxuriant clusters. Many persons stop
to admire the roses.

Them is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, til", great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pam in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part

to h Id ater and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wincor i eer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp=Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
rierfu', cures of the most distressing cases.
