Everybody In Windsor Fall was
bavin' It."
I Aud beeauae tbo sun Is a fickle mis
tress, first brooding over the hayfields
In a glory of caressing splendor, then
capriciously biding herself behind the
heavy clouds f a sudden shower, and
also because It ia well known that
"hayln' weather" waits for no man, the
farmers tolled In the hayfields early
and late, pressing their families Into
service and laying eager hands on all
the outside laborers they could find.
It was at tliis time that Jim Hoiden
floated Into town from no one knew
where and hired out by the day. He
was tall and lank aud "the golderndest
worker I ever see," drawled Hiram
Bears admiringly as be stopped for a
moment's rest in the shade of a spread
ing oak.
Miss Levering, "the Searses' summer
boarder," slowly lifted her eyes from
ber book and glanced lazily over the
hnyfield to where a long, lean figure
Skillfully pitched masses of fragrant
hhy on to a waiting wagon. She nod
ded Indifferently and went back to her
rending. When she looked up again the
wagon had disappeared in the direction
of the big red barn, and the tall, tire
less figure, oblivious of her presence.
Industriously tossed the remaining bay
as he advanced steadily In ber direc
tion. So far the summer bad been a dis
appointment to Miss Levering. She
had come to the little New England
village fresh from college and with
the most ardent Intentions of studying
nature and the natives real human
people, not mere society manikins at
first band. Incidentally she proposed
to Introduce hitherto unknown breadth
and benuly Into their sturved lives. To
a moneyed and spoiled yi'ing woman
defeat comes hard. a:ul Miss Levering
did not yet ndinlt that the "types" had
proved flatly tiresome and seemed per-
"THANK YOU, MISS," BB BAIT) RESPECT
FULLY. fectly satisfied with their lives as they
were.
"Ah!" she said softly as the tall fig
tire loomed nearer. What possibilities
night lurk under that wiry exterior!
She leaned forward.
. "I beg your pardon, my good man,"
she called In clear, penetrating tones,
"but it must be very warm In the sun.
Wouldn't you like to rest awhile In the
Bbnde?" Then, dismayed by her own
hardihood. Miss Levering blushed.
The man gasped and dropped bis
fork. For a second he stared blankly
at the vision under the oak tree, a
dainty vision In cool muslin, all rose
bloom on a creamy ground. Then he
hastily pulled bis bat from his head
and approached her, eying her with an
expression between admiration and ap
prehension as the meaning of her
word's filtered through his brain.
"Thank you, miss," he said respect
fully, dropping In a warm, disjointed
heap under the spreading branches.
There was a twinkle In bis eyes at
variance with the gravity of his long,
thin face. It was not customary for
the young ladles of Windsor Falls to
ddress the help as "my good man."
Miss Levering felt distinctly cheer
ful. "Haying Is bard work," Bhe be
gan sympathetically.
"It Is," he admitted. "Hard of Itself
and hard because it leads to nothing
beyond Itself," he added, with a gleam
of inspiration.
Miss Leverlngs eyes rewarded blm
for his discrimination. She wondered
vaguely If he were not rather above
the average type; not that he was
good looking hlB face was too long
and thin for that but he seemed recep
tive, aud he certainly vore bis coarse
clothes with an ease a city bred man
might have envied. It was a pity that
it man evidently fitted for better things
should go to waste In this little village.
He needed a wider horizon a broader
outlook. Well, she would see what she
could do for blm.
So the couple sat together under the j
oak tree very often or wandered j
through the shaded country lanes, and i
be listened, always Intent and respect- !
f ul, while she expounded her hopes and
alms for humanity lu general and foi
him In particular.
"I know I've no right," she snld ear
nestly, "Init you will forgive me, won't
you? Your life seems so petty, so uar
row, I want you to fwl tlm stress of
life as men lu the city feel It. The
struggle, the endeavor, the thrill of ac
complishment" And Hoiden agreed with her and
smiled upon ber with a look behind the
twinkle In his eyes that made her coma
near to forgetting her station lu life
and her altruistic aims generally.
The sun was near the western hills
one day before the stage came bear
ing Its quota of dally moll. That she
might not miss the glory of the sunset
Miss Levering took her letters and
magzlhc3 and turned up the road to
where from her vantage sent on a rock
she could see the splendor of the hills
outlined against the flaming sky.
Her letters were soon disposed of.
and she opened a magazine and Idly
turned the leaves, then suddenly sat
rigid spellbound while the letters on
the page before her burned themselves
Into uer consciousness.
"The critics," so ran the mngnzlne,
"place J. Hoiden Morse's 'Under New
England Skies' among the six greatest
books of the year. It Is In Its fifth
large edition. Mr. Morse Is at present
In New England, where he Is said to
be collecting mnterUiI for another
novel," etc., and underneath was the
autuor's photograph a long, lean face,
with a humorous twinkle In the smil
ing eyes.
This, then, explnlned the vague re
semblance she had always felt, but
could never define. And she had tried
to broaden his outlook to teach him.
All oblivious to the yellow splendor
of the glowing sunset, Miss Levering
dropped her head upon her arms and
cried.
She did not hear him till he dropped
on the rock beside her and picked up
the open book.
"Don't! Please don't!" he pleaded
contritely. "Forgive me! I never
dreamed you'd care that way. I had
to have types for a new work I'm do
ing. I could get what I wanted so
much better this way. Surely you un
derstand? "As for yourself," his voice grew ten
der, "when I found you had the slight
est Interest In me I dnred do nothing
to disturb It until It should take firmer
root."
"But you let me try to help you to
teach you," Bhe exclaimed, furious with
herself and hating him till she looked
tip and met his eyes.
"And was I not an apt pupil?" he an
swered half seriously, half jestingly.
Then as he bent and drew her closer:
"At all events I learned one lesson
pretty thoroughly," he said.
Brahms Was Not Sociable.
Anecdotes about Brahms show the
composer to have been a somewhat
unamlable companion. His wit was
brilliant, but cruel, and Its direct ob
ject could rarely Join In the amusement
It created. One story begins with the
statement that as a performer Brahms
had an extremely hard touch. This
once led a musician who was accom
panying him on the cello to exclaim,
"I don't hear myself." "Ah," replied
Brahms, "you are a lucky fellow."
When he left the room after a Ilvsly
evening among friends he used to re
mark, "If there Is any one present
whose feelings I have not hurt, I trust
he will receive my bumble apology."
Brahms never could bring himself to
produce an opera. "If I composed one
which failed, I should certainly have a
second try," he said to pressing friends,
"but I cannot make up my mind to the
first. To me the undertaking seems
much the same as marriage." The lat
ter Institution found no favor in his
eyes, and he lived an Isolated exist
ence, recognizing no kinsfolk.
Scott'a Monument In Edinburgh.
The finest monument erected to a lit
erary man in Great Britain Is the Scott
monument In Edinburgh. It is In the
form of a graceful gothic spire, with
pinnacles, resting on four pointed
arches. In this canopy of open arches
is a statue of the novelist and poet, ac
companied by bis dog. The designer
was George Kemp, a youthful archi
tect who died before the monument
was completed. He Is said to have
been greatly Influenced by the archi
tectural beauties of Melrose abbey.
An Interior staircase conducts to the
top, which Is 200 feet from the ground
and terminates in a single pinnacle.
Above the principal arches and In va
rious parts .of the structure are fifty
six niches destined to be filled with
8 tat lies representing well known char
acters in the Waverley novels, several
of which have been completed. The
statue Is by John Steell,. R. S. A., and
is a magnificent work of art. Lord Jef
frey supplied the inscription. The cost
was 15,650, which was raised by pub
lic subscription.
Cnld Baloy a Joke.
An engineer from Sunderland was
spending a few days In London with
a friend, and after a busy morning
sightseeing the Londoner chose a large
restaurant for luncheon, thinking it
would be a novel experience for the
man from the north. The visitor ap
peared to enjoy his luncheon, but kept
looking In the direction of the door.
"What are you watching?" asked his
friend, rather annoyed.
"Well." was the quiet reply, "Ah's
keepln' an eye on ma topcoat."
"Oh, don't bother about that," said
the other. "You don't see me watch
ing mine."
"No," observed the guileless engineer,

The farm Is the best security we
have for our social well being, and
whatever promotes Interest there,
whatever rulses it lu Intelligence and
scientific spirit, Is one of the most
comforting hiiluiiin-s of our civiliza
tion. And so to have our young men
Imbued with the true agricultural spir
it, to turn away from the adventures
of tbe commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, Independent life on
the farm, Is one of the richest promises
In our educational system. For there
Is where It belong to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The finest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re
sults that will go further than all
other enterprise in blessing men, will
be won on the farm. There is a science
of soli culture, and the art that is to
be based upon It will open wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.
The answer of the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains is akin to
the experience In the farm lug of the
future, which will mix brains with the
soil. Columbus (O.) Journal.
He Knew Them.
"What's up. Tommy?" said a good
naturcd Loudon coster, who was pass
ing, to a small boy who was sobbing
bitterly.
"Oh, me f ardent Hl've lorst me brlte
farden!" walled the little lad, continu
ing bis search.
" 'Ere, mates," said the man to some
others standing near, "let's help the
pore kid find 'Is farden." And the com
pany set to work.
In a few moments one of them pick
ed up the missing coin.
" 'Ere y'are, Tommy," he said; " 'ere's
yer fardeu."
Then, looking at It in the light of
street lamp, "W'y, It. ain't a farden at
all; It's a 'arf quid."
"Gam!" said tbe boy as be snatched
away the coin. "D'ye think HI was
goln' to let yew blokes know bit was a

And he vanished round the corner

Bnntlnc the Bird of ParadUe.
Inside a queer, birdcage-like wicker
contrivance built high up in a tree the
Aru islander will watch patiently for
days to get a shot at a bird of paradise,
perhaps the loveliest of nature's crea
tions. His food is supplied every morn
ing by another native, who remains at
the foot of the tree during the day to
secure any bird which may fall, killed
or stunned. Only the adult males, with
long plumes, are sought after, for were
not this the case this beautiful species
would long ago have become extinct.
To secure living specimens the natives
employ an arrow having three prongs
at the end. These prongs are barbed
on the Inside, and tbe object Is to shoot
at the legs of the bird, which, when
hit, flutters helplessly to the ground.

Matter of Fact Lovemnklna;.
For downright prose Dr. Johnson's
offer of hand and heart to his second
wife would be hard to beat. "My dear
woman," said Johnson, "I am a hard
working man and withal something
of a philosopher. I am, as you know,
very poor. I have always been re
spectable myself, but I grieve to tell
you that one of my uncles was hung."
"I have less money than you, doctor,"
demurely answered tbe lady, "but I
shall try to be philosophical too. None
of my relatives have ever been hung,
but I have several who ought to be."
"Providence and philosophy have evi
dently mated us, my good woman,"
said the doctor as he pressed a chaste
salute on the lady's brow.

and so on, and when the waiter
brought him a bill of 30 francs be paid
it like a man. After his change was
brought be counted It and pushed a
franc . toward the waiter for a tip.
But the man, pushing back the franc,
said in gentle reproach:
"Pardon, monsieur, but that is the
counterfeit franc." Argonuut.
Hla Income.
"They say you get 250 marks a
month. I can't believe it Tell me
how."
"I get 110 marks salary; then I don't
pay my rent. 40 marks; that's 150
marks; I owe the mllkmau 30 marks,
that's 180 marks; my butcher 40
marks, 220 marks, and every month I
raise 30 marks out of my friends,
making an Income of 250 marks a
month!" Fllegende Blatter.
Drawing a Tooth.
An elephant had a raging toothache,
the agony of which caused her to near
ly destroy her caravan. She was
thrown on ber side aud roped to stakes.
Two men held a pair of Ice tongs fast
round the aching tooth, and a couple
of dray horses attached to the tongs
by a rope did the rest The tooth .was
slxt- en inches long by three Inches
across.
Hla Complaint.
Inkwirer What became of that

"Well, he'll probably get married

it broken now!"

Straight Talks on
Patent Medicines
Some three years ago a number of
prominent retail druggists realizing
that a big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gredients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro
prietary medicine manufacturing and ad
vertising, formed a co-operative com
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
a line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning our own co-operative manufac
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula of every prepar
ation we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manufac
turing cost, plus a single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insures
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
Because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap
pointed who spent a long time in testing
the merits of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend
ed by the various druggists constituting
the company.
From these, about two hundred
were selected as being the best reme
dies known to medical science for
the cure, each of its particular ailment.
The exclusivejrights to these remedies
were then transferred to The United
Drug Company, which has since manu
factured them in its superbly equipped
laboratories in Boston under the now
famous name of" The Rexa'l Remedies."
Note then, first of all, these facts :
1st. " Rexall" refers,not to one rem
edy but to about two hundred
each for some one particular purpose.
Nobody knows better than The
United Drug Company druggists the
absurdity of the " cure-all."
2d. Each "Rexall "Remedy is a test'
ed and proved success, selected
for its conspicuous merit from many
of its class. All had established rep
utations through their continued use
by physicians before they became
members of the " Rexall " family.
3rd. " Rexall " Remedies are sold at
low prices because they are free from
heavy manufacturing charges, job
bing profits, and the heavy expense
of being advertised separately, as
formerly.
The United Drug Company, which
manufactures the Rexall Remedies, has
already scored the greatest success
ever known in the history of the drug
business.
Three of the 200 " Rexall " Remedies, one for each human ill, are :
rOR CATARRH-MUCU-TONC
The chief ingredients of
Mucu-Tone are Gentian, Cu
bebs, Cascara Sagrada, Glycer
ine, and Sarsapanlla.
Gentian is recognized in med
icine as one of the greatest
tonics ever discovered. It is
the foundation on which Mucu
Tone is built. Gentian com
bines ia high degree the tonic
powers of all the known "bit
ters," with none of the disad
vantages applying to them.
Cubebs have long; been rec
ognized as a specific in the treat
ment of all catarrhal conditions.
Its action is prompt and its
benefit almost invariable. In
whatever part of the body the
inflamed or dfseased condition
of the mucous membrane exists,
the use of Cubebs has been
recommended by the best phy
sicians for many generations.
Cascara Sagrada is espe
cially introduced for its neces
sary laxative properties.
The combination of these
with Glycerine and Sarsaparilla
makes Mucu-Tone a remedy
that attacks catarrh from every
point, gradually restores and re
builds the diseased tissues to
their former health and strength,
promotes digestion and creates
a normal appetite, llottle, bUc.
