WHEN OUR LOVE BEGAN.
BY CLARENCE OUSLEY,
The year is young, but its lineage runs
To the dawn of the far first day, |
When the sun burst forth and the earth
k was Sung
'! On its splendid starlit way.
d so with the love we feel but now—
+ It began in the earlier time,
Ere the souls of men were garmented
In the flesh of an earthly clime.
"Twas here in the morn of the primal
state,
In the world of the truly real,
Our love was born, our souls were joined
In a union fast and leal.
{We know it not in the sentient way
Of the passionate embrace,
For we had no ken of mortal things
. Nor the form of mortal grace.
{
With the sweet and fleet bewilderment
Of a first beatitude
We touched and passed in the whirling
throng
Of the spirit multitude,
Then sped our ways in the wilderness
Of a human destiny,
With only the feel of a faint caress
And a mystic memory.
But ever we heard a mating call,
And ever we sang the note
Till the good God brought us eye to eye
_And we spoke from throat to throat.
Now nothing matters of time or place
In a mere mortality,
For a twain that loved in the Soul's
estate
Are one for eternity.

of David.
I” Eliza was tired of taking care of
David. Eliza was eight and David
was two. In the morning before she
went to school Eliza washed and
dressed him and gave him his break-
fast. When she came home at
moon she gave him his dinner; when
school was over at night Eliza took
entire care of David till his bed-
time.
| Eliza's mother was a very busy
jwoman with little money and seven
ichildren to clothe and feed. There
ywas a baby younger than David;
there were three children older than
fhe and younger than Eliza, and only
Eliza and Mary, a girl of twelve, to
help the mother. Eliza should have
been grateful that she was required
to take care of David only.
i But Eliza sometimes got very tired
of David, very; though of course she
was fond of him. This afternoon she
was more than usually cross as she
Arundled him down the street in the
cart her father had made out of a
soap box on four squeaking, wrig-
gling wheels.
Eliza tugged resentfully at the rope
fastened through a hole in the box.
David grinned delightedly at the sun-
shine, and enjoyed the squeak. Not
so Eliza. Amy Winters had invited
the girls to her house that afternoon
to make candy. She had told Eliza
she could not come if she must bring
David. This was not so unkind of
Amy as seems at first, for the girls
were fond of David, who was the best
natured baby in the world; but at the
last candy pull David had attended,
‘he had upset on his head a cup of
molasses just ready for the stove.
So, while the other girls had pulled
the candy, Eliza had to wash David's
face and hair.
+ Eliza went fast past Amy’s house,
beating up a cloud of dust about her
downcast eyes. She walked on to-
ward the postofiice. Here some boys
were playing marbles. One of them
stopped and greeted Eliza.
{ “Hullo, how’s your kid to-day?”
| The boys all called David ‘“Eliza’s
kid.”
Eliza did not deign to answer; she
tossed her head and the wagon
wheels creaked ominously.
“Kid for sale, kid for sale,” called
another, smiling good naturedly at
David’s happy face.
The silent Eliza went on faster
than ever. When she had turned
the corner, and was out of sight of
the boys, she looked back at David.
‘She wished he was for sale; she
wished somebody would buy him.
With his soft red curls and round
blue eyes, he was pretty enough for
anybody to buy. Now she remem-
bered she had heard her mother say
that very morning she wasn’t rich in
anything but children, and she
wished somebody would buy some of
them.
Eliza’s mother was so busy moving
about that a speech begun in one
room was likely to end in another, so
that Eliza frequently did not hear
the end of her mother’s remarks.
Eliza did not hear her mother add
that there wasn’t a child she part
with for less than ten million dol-
lars. Eliza thought that perhaps her
mother would be glad to sell David.
“I’ll find him a good place,” said
Eliza, “with a kind, rich old lady,
and she’d pay a good deal, and I
wouldn’t have to take care of him.
I’d want him to have a nice big
house.”
The cart, the baby and the little
girl went up the hill, where were
some of the pleasantest homes in the
town. Eliza stopped in front of one
of these. On the side piazza sat a
pretty lady dressed in black. Squeak-
ing, squeaking, the cart came up the
path. The diplomatic Eliza left Dav-
id at the front and went around the
side path toward the lady. David
did not cry; David seldom cried.
“Are you the lady that lives here?”
asked Eliza.
The lady took a moist handker-
chief down from her eyes and looked
with a start at the small Eliza stand-
ing at the foot of the side steps. She
nodded.
“Would you like to buy a baby?”
“A——what?’”’ asked the lady in a
strange voice.
“A baby. I have one to sell.”
The lady sat up very straight.
*How mich is it worth?”
“I don’t know; I'll let you see him
and then perhaps you can tell.”
Eliza trotted around to the front,
gave David’s red curls a rub in the
right direction, sighed at his dirty
hands, then pulled the cart around to
the side.
“So that is the baby,” said the
lady. “Take him out and let me look
at him.”
Eliza pulled David out of the box
and tugged him, limply indifferent, |
up the steps. The lady looked at him.
She held out her hand and David
caught at her finger; then, with a
gurgle of pleasure, fell against her
knee. The lady bent over him. “This
baby is worth a great deal,” she said.
“Why do you want to sell him?”
“Because there’s six more like him
—not exactly like him ‘cause I'm
one; but we've got a good many ba-
bies and not much money, and I
thought—I—I have to take care of
him all the time—and the girls don’t
always like to have him ’round.”
“Do you think he’s worth a hun-
dred dollars?’ asked the lady.
A hundred dollars! Why, of course,
no baby in the world could be worth
that!
“I—I think ten would be enough,”
said Eliza tremulously.
“I can’t pay you all at once,” said
the lady. She stooped and lifted
the baby into her lap and he leaned
against her, laughing contentedly.
arine, with more truth than polite
ness.
“I don’t care,” said Eliza; but she
walked so slowly that Catharine pro-
tested:
“You act dreadful queer,
are you sick or anything?”
“No,” answered Eliza.
She said good-by to Catharine at
the gate, and then she waited some
time before she began to walk toward
home. The sun was setting and pour-
ing a golden glory over the world,
but it all seemed dark to Eliza. She
walked more and more slowly. Her
head was hanging low, so that those
who passed should not see the tears
in her eyes. What was the matter?
She took out her handkerchief and
felt the ten cents in the corner. She
was coming to the postoffice now.
Up that street she had trundled Dav-
id to his new home. Eliza stopped
and threw up her head.
“David!” she called; then went up
the road like a deer.
The maid of the lady who had pur-
chased David had just said at the
door of an upstairs room:
“A little girl to see you, mum,”
wh2n Eliza pushed past her.
Eliza was breathless; there were
tear streaks on her cheeks; she threw
herself on a baby sitting in sweet
placidity on the floor.
“Oh, David, David,”
“don’t you know sister,
love Bliza?”
" David gurgled and thrust the nose
of a woolly lamb in Eliza’s face. Then
the lady who was sitting very, very
near David said:
“What do you want, little girl?”
This is my baby, I ‘bought him to-
day.”
“Oh, no, he isn’t, ‘he isn’t, he’s
mine.”” Eliza caught David around
his fat shoulders and dragged him
toward the door. “I'll give you back
your ten cents and your penny when
I earn another, but you can’t, you
can’t have him.”
“Wait, little girl, wait, you are
hurting him,” for David had begun
to whimper. “Let me speak to you
for a moment, dear.”

she cried,

“What's that?” asked Eliza with
dread.
“Why little by little, you know.
If he suits me, I'll pay it all; but
meantime I'll give you—how much
shall I give you till we get acquaint-
ed?”
“Pen cents would do for to-night,”
said Eliza.
The lady took up a dangling silver
purse and, hclding it out of reach
of the baby’s fingers, she extracted
a dime.
“I suppose you'll give this to your
mother,” she said gravely.
“Yes, ma’am,’ answered Eliza
with greater gravity.
“And here’s one cent for you to
spend. And here's my card to show
your mother who's bought the baby.”
Eliza stood looking at the lady.
“Good-by,” said the lady. “What's i
his name?” |
“David,” answered Eliza.
“David and I are going
house,” said the lady. She gathered
the baby up in her arms, and he,
playing with the silver purse, never
looked at Eliza.
“Do you—do you’ ’—asked Eliza,
“know how to take care of babies?”
The lady’s lips quivered. “Very
well indeed,” she said, and then she
went into the house and shut the
door.
“I’1l leave the cart,” shouted Eliza;
“you may need it.”
Nobody answered, and Eliza walked
slowly away. She tied the card and
the dime in the corner of her pocket
handkerchief, but she held the penny
in her hand. When she reached the
postoffice the boys were gone, SO she
went in and bought ten candy mar-
bles for a cent. Then she went on to
Amy’s house. The candy was deli-
cious and sticky and Eliza's marbles
were delightfully hard. The little
girls kindly inquired about David, but
did not follow up Eliza's evasive an-
swers. Eliza ought to have had a
beautiful time; but she did not.

DYNAMITE STICK SENT BY MAIL
Cap Burns Slightly in Transit—As
Result City Solicitor Is Still
Alive.
Easton.—That City Solicitor N. R.
Turner of Easton, was not blown to
pieces is not the fault of some enemy
now living in Italy.
The attorney received a package in
the mails from that country today and
when he opened it he found it con-
tained a stick of dynamite to one end
of which was attached an explosive
cap. Fortunately the cap burned a
little in transit, destroying its power
to explode the dynamite when the
package was opened as had been plan-
ned ky the sender.
Turner -was formerly assistant to
the district attorney, and it is sup-
posed that the dynamite was sent to
him by one of a number of Italians
prosecuted and who have since been
released from jail and gone home.

MUST OBEY INSPECTORS
Judge Decides Their Appeal Against
Mining Companies.
Uniontown. — Decisions important

Judge J. Q. Van Swearingen, when
he sustained the action of mine in-
spectors in serving notice on opera-
tors that unless they put their mines
in safe condition the inspectors will

ation.
The companies affected are the
Pittsburg Coal Company, the United
Coal Company and the Atlas Coal
Company. The mines the inspectors
say they found defective are the Ban-
ning, Naomi and Lafayette. The case
came before the court on a motion
to strike off an appeal of the Pitts-
burg Coal Company from what the
company claims is a “decision” ot

relief they would have to appeal. The
inspectors claimed it was onlyra no-
tice from which no appeal can be
taken.
AFTER DISHONEST OLEO MEN
All Arrested Must Hereafter Stand
Court Trial—No More Easy
Aldermen’s Fines.
Harrisburg.—Dairy and Food Com-
missioner Foust is about to institute
proceedings that promise to arouse a
lively interest among scme of the
dealers in oleomargarine doing busi-
ness in Allegheny county. There are
155 oleo dealers in the county and
about 2,000 grocers or dealers in but-
ter. Of the former not less than 48
are systematically engaged in the un-
lawful coloring or sale of oleo. That
is to say, uncolored oleo is purchased
and afterward colored, by which
means the federal government is de-
frauded out of 93; cents per pound
tax. Thus the government is annually
cheated out of many thousands of dol
lars’ revenue, and pure butter is sub-
jected to an unequa: and illegal com-
netition, as well as the deception prac:
ticed on the consuming public, as col
ored oleo is always sold as and for
creamery hutter.
The more than 100 dealers who are
doing a legitimate business, selling
uncolored goods according to law and
trying tec act the part of honest busi-
ness men, are also indignant at this
mnfair competition and have sent
Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust
a vigorous protest. They have also
called the attention of the Allegheny
County Merchants’ Association, repre-
senting the grocers and buttter stores,
demanding that an end be promptly
made of these violations of law, alleg-
ing it is impossible for them to mest
such competition. .
ALL WERE STARVING
Demented Mother and Three Small
Children Found in a Pit-
iabie Plight.
Johnstown.— With nothing to eat
and quartered in the same room with
13 chickens, two dogs and a cat, Mrs.
Naney Nedrow and three small chil-
dren were found in the mountains
near Jumounville by Constoble S. H.
Crawford. The children who ranged
from 4 to 9 years, were scantily clad
and barefooted, and were huddled
closely around a smouldering log in
an effort to get warm. '
No food could be found except a
pound of flour and it appeared the wo-
man and children lived mostly on the
milk of a cow owned by Mrs. Nedrow.
The mother seemed demented and it
is alleged she said she would rather
starve than eat one of her chickens.
Her husband died some time ago and
left her an acre of ground and the
house in which she lived. Mrs. Ned-
row and her 4-year-old Flossie were
taken to the county home and the
two other children, Margaret and Ja-
cob, taken to the Children’s Aid So-
ciety headquarters.

Russians in Our Army.
A curious racial tendency has been
shown lately in the new enlistment
in the ranks of the United States
army, at any rate so far as the work
of the recruiting stations in this city
is concerned. An unusually large
number of Russians have been enlist-
ing for the service, the percentage
sometimes running up to well above
50 per cent of the total enlistments.
At one of the local recruiting sta-
tions in this city the officer in charge
reported that out of 13 enlistments
made in a single day last week, no
less: than six were Russians. On
other days ‘even this high percentage
has been exceeded.
“A large number of the Russians
who are now enlisting in the United
States army,” said one of the re-
cruiting officers lately, ‘have already
seen service in the Russian army. I
think it would be safe to say that
75 per cent of them have seen such
service, and of those who have
served in the Russian army nearly all
were engaged in the recent conflict
with Japan.”—New York Sun.

she cried all the evening, and declared
she would never speak to him again.

“For years ! was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so [
could hardly write, and insomnia tor-
tured me at night.
“Besides, how could 1 safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments ot pre-
cision? When | saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, 1 decided to stop it,
and three years ago | prepared some
Postum, of which I had received. a
sample.
“The first cuptul surprised me. It
was mild, soothing, delicious. At
this time I gave some Postum to a
friend who was in a similar condition
to mine, from the use of coffee.
“A few days after, | met him, and
he was full of praise tor Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee, but stick to Postum. We then
ordered a full supply, and within a
short time my nervousness and con-
sequent trembling, as well as insom-
nia disappeared, blood circulation be-
came normal, no dizziness nor heat
flashes.
“My friend became a Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using it ex-
clusively,
*It would be the fault ot the one
who brewed the Postum if it did not
taste good when served,
“The best food may be spoiled if
not properly made. Postum should
be botled according to directions on
the pkg. Then it is al} right, any one
can rely on it. It ought to become
the national drink.” *There’s a Kea-
