Comedy of Broken Hearts."!
By L. PARRY
ACT L
1 I T HEY wore both Tory young,
I tremendously In love, nnd
i l astonishingly Inoxperloncod,
" And to this. In Itacif, suf
ficiently distressing mixture of youth
nd love and Inexperience she added
a worldly-minded mother, and be the
Tory smallest thing that could pos
Ibly be enlled an lneome. Also
tbey heaped the measure of their
Joint unhapplncs with men trifle
as unfailing obedience to the maternal
voice, a reliance that was child
like on the maternal wisdom, a
eclf-doprocatlng fear of hurting a be
loved object, and all sorts of maidenly
and gentlemanly scruples behind the
age, but not by any means less fresh
and sweet for that. They hadn't the
suspicion of a vice, a selfish thought
l)etween them, and they were so oli
.vlously nnd entirely modo for each
other that It was, from the first, quite
Inevitable that they should be ported.
They proved, indved, only too easy
to port. Even the world-minded
mother would lmve been better satis
fied with a victory not so quickly won.
Her daughter's tears hardly moved her
more than the young man's gentle,
ad-faced reasonableness, and together
they almost persuaded ber to- overlook
the microscopic Income, though neither
made any but the most rassive efforts
to achieve that to desired end.
But she hastily summoned her world-ly-mlndedness,
and by Its aid decided,
once for nil, that It would be a pity
to disturb their unselle resignation for
the sake of a poor and preposterously
commonplace marriage. And she urged
the man to accept a post that hnd been
offered him In India with a voleo so
tenderly like hordaugliter's that he very"
nearly refused to comply he missed
from It the stlntt, goading to sacrifice,
which he had lately come to associate
IWlth himself nnd Fate.
However, he did comply. The offered
trork held out bores of advancement,
of moderate but sufficient wealth, In
the vogue middle distance of life. And
who can tell what other mad hopes
iwere bred of that solitary hope,
wedded to desire, in the mind of a mnn
Very young, very Inexperienced, very
much In love? But he did not say nny
thing to the girl nbout waiting for hlin
and bis fufure fortunes. Tic bad prom
ised her mother not to, and he was the
Tory pattern of nn honorable youth.
And thus the girl, while lie was away,
was hurried Into a marriage which she
told herself would break her broken
heart afresh. At any rate. It broke her
spirit. But, then, she had never been
conspicuously spirited.
I, ACT II.
r Herein lies a story often told already.
So many times written so many times
read, that the greatest Indulgence of
reader and writer alike are surely
craved for It She, nicked by a m!s
token 'a Into a marriage much
against her inclination, to become a
elf-effaclng but never interesting wife,
the pale mother of pale children. He,
Ignorant for years of the full extent of
the barrier dividing them, lured by n
forlorn hope across half a lonely life
time. His figure had lost Its old boyishness,
his hair was thickly flecked with gray,
but his pockets were comfortably lined
and his position assured, when, quite
casually, be learned that the woman
whose fidelity be had clung to through
all their separation and silence hod
failed him within twelve months of
their porting.
He told himself that crery dividing
year, every hard-working coy, every
long, breathless nlrrht, had built his
old love moro firmly intj thfi l'olnie
of bis being. In tho envly twenties,
knowing her to bo false, ho might Jinve
put her Imago from him nnd lived to
be no less ultimately happy for the
healed wound. Cut, coming now, so
late, nfter si long, it unmanned him.
He told himself ngnlu that lie was
heartbroken, and, absorbed In that
ex, betrayed by n single Individual,
belief, forgot to rail at the whole false
which Is the acknowledged panacea of
the broken-hearted.
Tin news hnd reached him not only
tardily, but with n singular lack of
detail just the bare fact of her mar
riage at that far-off date, nnd nothlug
rnoro. No doubt, he might have col
lected further Information from the
same source, but ho shrank nervously
from doing so. To know what man
gier of man hod supplanted him what
good could that do hlni? That any
mnn bad been allowed to appropriate
what he had so long looked upon as
Ills own seemed in Itself a sorrow dense
enough to darken the remainder of his
Hays. Habit chained him for a time
to his work, but his Interest was gone
ttnd his health began seriously to fall.
How much that was duo to continuous
residence In a trying climate, bow
much to the blow, it would be difficult
to determine. He, at any rate, exon
erated the climate.
But for all that, he was forced to
leave it His friends carried him, too
YESTERDAY. ...
There is a road to yesterday,
And we may trace its gam
In flecking shade or dancing ray
Upon tome little stream;
Or we may see it, when, with eyes
Hnlf closed, we bear a song '
That calls up many a g'ad sunrise
And many a twilight long.
There it a road to yesterday,
And eacn one knows its start
The portals to this wondrous way
Is he'd within the henrt;
From there the pleasant courses lead
As far as one can see
It rests on many n golden deed
And many a memory.

weak to protest further, on to a home
wnrdbound ship. They never thought
of consulting him. Of ourse, he would
wont to go home. What Englishman
of them all, chnlned by circumstance
to the land of threatening liver and
ever-present mosquitoes, would miss
the chance of a break-down 'to take
him back to England?
Fo it was that he awoke from the
lethargy of extreme weakness to find
the salt sen breezes blowing health
back to him, whether he would or no;
found the strong, heart-y winds urging
him to the pursuit of new Ideas with n
life renewed; found tho restless waves
hurrying him to the land he had so
long wearied to see. Waves and winds
eared nothing for his change of mind.
As he sat brooding on his deck chair,
he seemed to hear them laughing
boisterously together over the frail
fancies he held so sacred. "There are
as good fish in the sen cs ever came
out of it." they seemed to say. (Waves
ond winds ore proverbially blustering
nnd coorse of wit.) "Why, sbe may be
fat; she -must bo nenrly forty, to judge
by you! In England, the land of
healthy, pretty women, a man may
soon find healing for love-sIekneBs. Man
alive! What is one woman among
many, when nil nre fair? Choose a
maiden fresh nnd youthful, nnd in her
smiles forget a pale myth of nn out
lived nge. You have managed without
her all these years, and not done so
badly come now, own Tip! How mnch
pleasure has there been mingled In
your pretty pretence of sorrow? Even
now you might be In a far worse case.
Why, you might lie bound. Irretrievably
bound, to n woman worn nnd aged,
nnd changed In n thousand ways from
the girl you remember a woman you
would not know if you passed her In
the street! And, instead, you are free
as nlr ns free ns wo nre to make a
fresh choice; to make love anew to a
fresh heart how much better than
you could teach It were you Taw and
Ignorant yourself you alone know!"
But he put his lean, brown hands
over his ears; bo would not listen to the
voices of winds and waves. He
clutched with nil tho despnrntion of a
drowning mnn nt his frayed belief In
his own perfect faithfulness. He de
fied the pagan creed of the nntnmed
sens. He pnsslonntely vowed, for the
sake of his cherished mlddlc-nged self
respect, to marry no young girl.
ACT III.
And he kept the letter of his row.
He certainly married, ond only a few
months after his return; but the wife
he chose was nearly of on nge with
himself a widow, frail and delicate,
nnd faintly reminiscent of a byegone
prettiness. The first time he saw her,
before they were Introduced, she re
minded him of his old love. He could
not have said how or where, but It
proved nn nttrnction strong enough to
chain him to her side, to bring him
quickly to nor feet ho w'.io had never
tlono anything before without tho ut
most deliberation nnd thought And
she wns not by any means generally
fascinating, only one of those gentle
colorless women who fail to Interest
even their friends, but who generally
succeed In obtaining nnd holding fast
the warmest attachment of a certain
class of quiet shy men.
Her pnst was peopled by her former
husband ond her ailing children, now
all lost to her, but she did not find
much to tell him about them. She spoke
to him moro about an early attachment
that had proved unfortunate. She
shook It out of tho rose leaves nnd
lavender of memory In which she had
long laid it for his inspection n
crumpled, faded relic of her girlhood.
"We were both very young. Ills name
wns Brown, too," she said, with her
uncertain smile.
He remembered nfterwards that she
seemed to look nt him rather curious
ly, ns though expeetlnr; a question hs
did not put; ns though she wns sur
prised but not Ill-pleased that he should
let the subject drop. At tho tlmo ho
was only nfrnld of distressing her with
continuing It. He believed sho had
made a special effort on his behalf, nnd
ho was uuwilllug that sho should take
trouble to please him when ho was so
well p'.eased without. He had been
quick to notice that, rs a rule, beyond
her little ailments and the most trlviul
passing events, few things stirred her
to conversation.
Yet he fell honestly In love with
her; fought and conquered for her sake
his ingrained reluctance to set any
woman In the place of the woman who
bad failed him. This was the sort of
woman she might have grown Into, he
sold, in self-defense. An occasional
trick of speech or gesture In his new
h'ol would remind him quite startingly
of his old Idol; but he decided that
women were more r.Hke, after all, than
be had thought them. Although he
half-despised himself for nnfalthful
ness, be half-excused hluisci: because,
at least, he was faithful to a type. The
love of his youth seemed very near to
turn as he gave UuiMtf unreservedly
to the love of his mlddle-nge. He
seemed to know , this woman by In
stlnct He had no question or need to
worry ber to learn all he required to
learn about ber.
Then, one day, she returned to tho
dropped topic of her early love, and
there was the merest trace of excite
ment In her voice.
"His name was Charlie," sho said,
"that boy I told you about: Don't you
think that makes It mors than ever
a coincidence our love since your
name Is Charles?"
"I used to be always called Charlie
once," he said, absct-tly, for ho was
looking very Intently at her.
Her pole cheeks flushed almost
youthfully. "I wonder," she went on,
"you have no story to tell me no old
romance. Surely yon met some one
abroad or before you went abroad?"
She wns looking younger and brighter
than ho had ever soon her. It was
marvellous, the transformation of Just
that touch of color In her cheeks how
it rounded them, helped her to shake
off the marks of trouble, the hand of
Time. To-day she had laid aside her
heavy black black never suited her
and her hair was more loosely twisted,
pcrluips. And then, In her eyes a
most unusual thing was a stray glonm
f fun and mischief, showing- her alive
to the comedy that springs sometimes
from heart-breaking Issues; In this In
stance the comedy of her having rec
ognized him at once, although so much
bad come into her life between them;
of his having failed to recognize her,
although she had never for a clear
hour left his thoughts.
But ho knew her now.
"now can you ever forgive my bllnd
ness?" he said.
But t seemed his blindness had
pleased her. "Cannot you see," she
asked, "that I might prefer to be loved
for what I am now rather than for
something I was once but never can be
again? Now I know that you love me
because I reminded you of a girl you
used to love, but also for myself,
woman growing old. You do not only
love me because yon used to love me
and think It Is your duty never to leave
off doing a tiling you have once be
gun." And she owned to having done what
little she could to keep up a delusion
that had come by chance; the chance
that had kept him dreaming of a girl
still as a girl for well, long past hei
girlhood.
So, In the ond, he married his first
love, having fallen In love with her the
second time. So two hearts, once set
aside ns broken, were very credibly
patched for further use. Philadelphia

Fads In Wrapping Paper.
More nnd more Is the esthetic creep
ing Into U'nde. It has even extended
to wrapping paper. In this respect

purchnses nt pharmacies are not bulky,
and the proprietors enn nfford to be
artistic In small details. The druggist
who wraps up a small parcel or bottle
In white paper and tics It with a red
string Is behind the times. The up-to-date
pharmacist pays almost as much
attention to getting attractive wrap
ping paper as he does to the purity of
his drugs.
"I have adopted this soft, dull-tinted
unglazed pray as my shop color," sold
one druggist "It is distinctive and
acts as a sort of advertisement for

with it For tying I use nothing but
this orange cord. I have not noticed
a marked Increase of custom from my
efforts to make the bundles things of

Frags In Sandstone.
While excavating for a basement un

miles of hogs, 27,000 strong; then let S0.0D0 fowls bring up tho

Never before In the world's history wns a massacre of tho Innocents organized
on such a stupendous scale or with such scientific system.
The commander of the army of 20,000 men engaged In this work earned
his first penny picking cranberries In a swamp on Cope Cod, moro than fifty
years ago. It was nt Sagamore, on that historic peninsula, that a son wns boru

The Indian's Point of View.
By Dr. Charles A. Eastman.
HE Indian's side of any controversy between him nnd tho
white mail has never really been presented nt nil. History
has necessarily been written from the white runu's standpoint
nnd largely from the reports of commanding officers, natur
ally anxious to secure full credit for their fciillautry or to
conceal any weakness.
Take as an Illustration the so-called "battle" of Wounded
Knee. A ring was formed nbout the Indians, and after dis
arming most of them one man resisted, nnd the troops began
firing townrd the centre, killing nenrly nil the Indians nnd necessnrlly many
of their own men. The soldiers then followed up fleeing women nnd children
nnd shot thcin down in cold blood. This Is not called a massacre In official
reports. The press of the country did notVoll it a mnssncre. On the other
hand. General Custer wns In pursuit of certain bands of Slonx. He followed
their trail two days and finally overtook ond surprised them upon the Llttlo
Big Horn. Tho worriers met him In force ond he was beaten nt his owu
game. It was a brilliant victory for tho Indians, whom Custer had taken nt
a disadvantage in the midst of their women and children. This battle goes
down lu history as the "Custer massacre."
liTe Joy of Working.
Pleasures of Which the Producer of tho
Present is Deprived.
By Caroline L. Hunt.
iHE producer of old had pleasures of which the producer of the pres
T
ent knows not. He had the quiet nnd safety nnd hoalthfuluess of o
small shop. Ho had common interest with fellow-workers and ap
prentices in village politics or in church affairs. Best of all, per
haps, there was a personal quality In his work because It was doue
for friends or for acquaintances, nnd nn ever-present sense of Its im
portance because it met needs which he had seen ond recognized, nnd
which his own manner of llfe.slmilar to that of the consumer and on
the snmo social plane, prepared him to understand. Ho had, for exam
ple, possibly known for months that his neighbor was saving money
with which to hire him to make tho chest of drawers upon which ho was work
ing, nnd there wns n zest and a delight in his labor because he knew just how
much she needed the piece of furniture. Just where It wns to stand nnd Just
what purpose It was to serve. The favorable conditions of his work, tho pleas
r.ntor surroundings, tho personal quality of labor, the feeling of Its direct use
fulness were Intensified in case of the housewife who worked in her own
house with nnd for those she loved.
Now nil Is changed. The fnctory band spends his working day In n
great, dingy shop with tho maddening of the machinery lu his ears. His asso
ciates are strangers with whom ho has little or nothing lu common besides his
work. He labors for nn Indefinite, fnr-nwny consumer whoso manner of life
Is unknown to him. Ho has for this consumer neither the fellow-feeling which
comes from sharing life In tho same community, nor its only substitute, the
ability which comes from broad education and from travel to project oneself
lu Imagination across space and to put oneself in the place of a stranger and
to realize his needs. The Chautauqua n

By Andrew J. Stono,
O undertake to give people
ica, or any part or it is tumeuit. Aituougu they know that the
country Is much larger than the United States, they look upon It
as being all alike a country of long, dark winters, fields of Ice
nnd snow, and barren wastes. In truth, within Arctic nnd sub
Arctic America there is much diversity of climate. And In this
beautiful summer-land of Alaska, there are In midsummer end
less fields of beautiful plant life. Many times I have left my
camp at the foot of the mountains, nnd passing through a little meadow whero
n variety of wild grasses waved their tops above my head, I would commence
to climb among the dense, tangled, and almost tropical Jungle of alders, where

A Lock Into the Future.
By President Roosevelt.
E have every right to take a Just prido la tho great deeds ol
our forefathers; but we show ourselves unworthy to bo their
descendants if wo luako what they did na excuse fur our ljlug
Bupino instead of uu lucentive to the effort to show ourselves
by our nets worthy of them. In tho administration of city. State
and Nation, ill the inaiiugemciit of our homo life and the conduct
of our business and social relations, we ore bound to show cer
tain high aud ilno qualities of character under penalty of seeing
tho whole heart of our civilization eaten out whllo tho body
still lives.
We Justly prido ourselves on our marvellous material prosperity, nnd such
prosperity must exist lu order to establish a foundation upon which a higher
life can be built; but unless we do in very fact build this higher life thereon,
tho material prosperity Itself will go for but very llttlo. Now, In 1003, lu the
ultercd couditlous, we must meet tho changed nnd changing problems with
the spirit shown by tho men who In 1S03 and lu the subsequent years gullied,
explored, conquered ond settled this vast territory, then a desert, now filled
with thriving aud populous States.
The old days wore great because the men who lived in them had mighty
qualities; and we must make tko new days great by showing these same qual
ities. We must Insist upon courage aud resolution, upon hardihood, tenacity
nud fertility In resource; wo must luslut upon the strong virile virtues, and
wo must Insist no less upon the virtues of self-restraint, self-mastery, regard
for the rights ot others;we must show our tbhorronco of cruelty, brutality aud
corruption, In public aud in private life alike.
If we come short In any of these qualities wo shall measurably fall, and If.
as I believe we surely shall, we develop theso qualities In the future to an
even greater degree than in the pust, then In the century now beginning wo
shall make of this republic the freest and most orderly, the most Just aud
mighty Nation which bat evsr come forth from the womb of time.

THE CURCULIO.
The curcullo, which Is destructive of
rhubarb, hibernates as nn adult, and In
spring deposits Its eggs In certain com
mon species of. dock, especially curry
dock Rumex crlspus. From the dis
covery of tho orcodlng habits of this
curcullo It seems evident that the best
way to prevent Its ravages Is to de
stroy the dock plants on which It de
velops. If these are pulled up, roots
and all, sny late In June, before they
have gone to sred, and burned, a great
many of the Insects will be destroyed.
; A NEGLECTED CHOP.
One of the most neglected crops after
the harvest Is over is the blackberry.
Ferhaps no crop entails so little labor
In proportion to the revenue derived
therefrom, yet It will pay to keep the
canes free from weeds nnd grass nnd
to npply fertilizer as well. When a
portion of the ennes have been winter
killed a good crop may be obtained
from tho remainder If the canes re
ceived good treatment the previous
year, but, as a rule, the canes are left
until It becomes time to cut them.
Many blackberry fields that have borne
good crops year nfter year, ond then
began to fall nnd die out, nre simply
yielding to starvation and neglect
AITLE TREE BORERS.
There are several borers of the apple
tree the flat-headed, which bores un
der the bark and sometimes In the
wood; the round-headed, which bores
Into the tree, remaining In the larval
state three years; nnd the twig borer,
which enters Just nbove the bud. Dig
out the borers with a sharp knife, or
probe Into the bores for them with a
sharp-pointed wire. Scrub the trees,
and npply enrly In June nnd July
whnle oil snap (or soapsuds), , with a
little carbolic acid added. Burn all
twigs attacked. The soapsuds keeps
the moths oft. The digging out of tho
round-headed nnd flat-headed borers
must be doue ctectlvely. The borers
are about an Inch long. A sharp wire
kills tbem In the tubes made by them.
TRUNING AN ORCHARD.
I am opposed to the too common prac.
tlce of trimming trees ns high as a
man's head, leaving the long naked
stem exposed to the ravages of Insects
nnd the damaging Influence of the sun
nnd winds. If the tree Is low nud
branching near tho ground dangers
from these difficulties nre lessened. It
will grow faster nnd stronger nnd bear
more fruit, which Is more easily gath
ered. If watched, closely when young
nnd growing, It will not bo necessary
to take off the young limbs. Occa
sionally clipping off tho ends of tho
branches to give proper shape and re
moving twigs that cross or crowd
each other Is nil that will be required
for most trees. The tree Is easily
trained if the work Is accomplished at
the right time. Pruning should not be
neglected. E. B. Joi.cs, In American
Agriculturist.
WASHING TREES.
Every tree In nn orchnrd should be
washed at least twice a year, with
strong scopsuds, but there will be no
necessity for scraping them. Tho cater
pillars should be destroyed as soon as
tho nests are seen, which will end large
numbers of Insects at onco. As tho
Insects multiply with amazing rapidity,
the escape of a single pair menus thou
sands next scasou. Ono of tho best as
sistants to the orchnrd Is tho little
wren. If farmers will give him proper
protection by constructing boxes with
entrances so small that no bird but a
wren can enter, tho sparrow will be
unable to drive it away. As the wren
Is an active and busy creature. It de
stroys a large number of Insects In
a very short tlmo, nnd ns It Increases
rnpldly under favorable circumstances,
may bo secured and Induced to remain
In the orchard If proper facilities are
afforded for their protection and ac
commodation, CHEAP SMOOTHER.
For tho many farmess who do not
have rollers, here Is an implement that
does tho work Just as well. On cloddy
land It Is better, as it crushes; for land
with small, loose stones, It Is Just tho
tiling to make tho ground smooth for
tho reaper or mower. It levels up un-
even places without so much packing
and cun be used on auy soil.
It Is -mado of planks nbout twelve
Inches wide. If hard wood Is used oue
ind three-fourth Inch planks aro desira
ble, but if hemlock two Inches thick Is
best. It should be thrco plunks wldo
and eight or nluo feet long. Tbo front
plank should bo turned slightly up and
secured by two by six luch joists nailed
or bolted across, as Illustrated. It can
be drawn by chain or tongue, ns pre
ferred. This plonker can be loaded
with tho larger stones as It Is drawn
over the field and emptied at fence
