It was a lovuly day, tlio mm win shining brlRhtly, tlio bird a wore Hing ing, nml everything seemed Ray. lit a protty llttlo bedroom, surrounded by every comfort, nitt a girl, pale and trembling, with n tenr-Htnlned letter .lying before her, which bIio presently stooped nnd picked up to rend for the 'third time. The letter rnn na fol lows: "My Dear MIhs Jones: After due jcoiiRldcratlnn, I hnvu conin to tlio con cluslon thnt It will bu wiser for us iboth to say nothing more nhoiit the matter we were dlHcusKlng this even ing, but to let tho affair quietly drop, inore especially as I nm leaving bo soon. With my true regnrdH, 1 re main, Yours Blneerely, "EDWARD P. HALL." The Rov. Kdwnrd Hall was assist ant to the pastor of the village church, which for the past three months ho had solo charge of, owing to the 111-honlth of the latter. Many people much preferred Mr. Hall's . sermons to thoao of tho pastor, and there was conBtematlon when It was made known that Mr. Hall had hnd an offer of a pnstorshlp elsewhere; and hnd accepted it. For a long time the gosHlpa In the Tillage had noticed that Mr. Hall paid an unuaual nmount of attention to pretty little Idn Jones, the doc tor's daughter, and, Rtrange to say, very few people mnde spiteful re marks, for, If Mr. Hall wns popular for his gentlo, courtly tnnnuer to old and young, rich nnd poor, Idn wns Just as much loved by the villagers, and mnny an aged porson could testi fy to her Bklll In nurRlng. Although Mr. Hall had shown a marked preference for Ida's society to that of nny other girl, he hnd cer tainly never mnde the slightest declaration of love, and the poor girl's heart sank ns ench day brought the parting nearer, but she bore up bravely, nnd only ,ier mother's quick eye noticed the snd look bo often to be seen on her fnce now; but Mrs. Jones wns a wise woninn, and did not try to force her daughter's confi dence, knowing that Ida never kept anything from her long. The evening before the arrival of the letter Ida hnd been returning from the choir practice by herself, When her quick ear caught the sound ot manly footsteps, and her heart beat quickly. "Good-evening, Miss Jones!" cried a cheery voice. "I'm going your way, so hurried after you, but never thought I should overtake you so oon. How slow you must have walked!" Ida blushed, but said nothing. "I have only one more week In this dear old place," Mr. Hall resume! presently, "and then I shall have to take up my new duties. In new sur roundings and among new faces, It will be so lonely, and sometimes I al most regret that I ever accepted.' He Btopped, as If expecting his companion to say something, but Ida did not reply, and they walked a lit tle way In silence. Suddenly Mr. Hall noticed a tear drop from the girl a eye upon the book she was car rylng. 'Ida, can It be possible that you tare whether I go cr stay?" he asked. Does It really make any difference? He had never previously called her by her Christian name. For a mo ment the words almost Btartled her, and before she could recover she had burst Into tears. At this very inopportune moment Wheels were heard coming along at a good pace behind them, and what the young clergyman might have been going to Bay died away on his Hps as he recongnlzed the doctor's mart little trap, which shortly drew up beside ttem. "Well, Mr. Hall, I'm glad to see rou, old fellow!" said the doctor, In his genial tones. "I'm Just return tng home, so both of you get In and tome with me." Mr. Hall declined, pleading iare- Well calls which had to be made be fore he left, but as he helned Ida in he pressed the little hand so trem blingly laid in his and whispered . "I shall write to you to-night.' All that evening Ida seemed to be treading on air, and, needless to say, when she at last retired to rest, sleep Was a long time In coming. The next morning she was up early, and every ring at the bel! brought such a start and shy little blush that Or. Jones asked her If she was not well, When the long looked-for letter did come and Ida's trembling fingers at last managed to open it, she first eemed petrified and then burst Into a storm of tears. "Oh, why did I show him I cared? he moaned. "Of course he despises me, but It was cruel to write that let ter! And now how shall I ever fa: him again?" Ida was not the only person .who bad received a letter that morning, and, if her letter caused astonish' 8et to her, the one received by an ELLA other member ot Mr. Hall'i congre gation created a thousand times more, for It ran: "My Dnrllugt You hnvo no Idea how supremely hnppy you mndo me to-night. I thought you surely must have guoHHod how I have loved you for a long time, but, ns you never gnve mo any uncourngemimt, I had almost made up my mind to leave without speaking, but to-night do- Ided mo. I ahull have much to do to-morrow, but shall be returning homo about seven o'clock by tho mea dow puth. Moet no thero, if poatil blo. Yours ever, "EDWARD HALL." Miss Mary Jones, tho recipient of tho second letter, sat nllelit for a long time. Sho was tho limt person, soino pooplo would hnvo said, to get a love letter. Sho wns not benutlful, for ono Bldo of her face hnd been scarred by a burn which sho had recelvod many years ngo while uxllngulHhlng a Are nnd Bavlng r, llttlo child's life. In tho opinion of somo, she might havo been deemed ugly but for the benutlful expression of her counte nance, which wiim Hint of one who hnd suffered nnd overcome. All who looked nt her knew that sho wns one to conddo In and receive sympathy from, and mnny ot thoBo In trouble did come to her accordingly. After Mr. Hall had left Ida nnd her father, his Hint vlHlt was to Miss Jones, fur they had always been great friends, and ho hnd got quite accus tomed to running :n nnd telling her his llttlo troubles; To-night, how ever, ho hnd tried sovernl times to re veal his secret about Idn, and then, being ovorcomo by shyucBB, had re frained. MIhs Jones was an active worker In church affairs, nnd hnd been very full of fenr on nccount of a little robhIp Alio hnd heard at several ot the houses she hnd been visiting at. A short time before, a bell ringer of the church had been arrested for trivial offoiiHo. Mr. linll, much agnliiBt his wIbIi, hnd boon obliged to give evidence, and In consequence had been tho very Innocent cntise-ot getting tho man a month's Imprison ment. Since he had been out ot prison he had been heard to threaten that he would lake terrible ven geance on Mr. Hall, and this piece ot news hnd so frightened MIrr Jones thnt she hnd begged tho young clorgymnn to spenk to the police nbout the matter, which, after a great deal ot persuasion, ho hud half prom ised to do. As soon ns the first surprise at her strange letter was over, MIhs Jones took it up ngnln and reread It very, slowly. Then she glanced at- tho en velope. Yes there could bo no mis take; It must be for her, nnd yet why should he write to her In such a stylo? Could he have guessed? But no that was Impossible! What does ho mean by giving him encouragement?" thought the pus- zlod lady. "It all seems so Rtrange that I hardly know what to do. Can It really be truo that he loves mo?, After all, I am only flvo years his senior, but could a handsome man like that possibly care tor a poor, plain, unattractive woman like me?" It was not long before Miss Jones had made up her mind what to do. She would be In the meadow at the appointed time, and, If the letter was a mistake, she would soon find out by the look on his face when she met the man she had secretly loved ever since she had known him. The day was beautifully fine, and two persons at least found the morn lng and afternoon very long In pass ing; however, time slowly dragged on, and at last Miss Jones set forth from her pretty little cottage with eager yet reluctant steps, but with a happy smile upon her face, for she had read the letter again before starting. Strange though It all was, It sure ly could not be a mistake! She arrived at the trystlng place early and sat down to rest, for she waB not robust, and the anxiety caused by the letter had told upon her. Presently, as Ida had done the day before, she heard footstepB behind her, and turned, full of expectancy, to meet the man she loved; but, when she saw the astonished, not to say disappointed, look on Edward' Hall's face, she knew that, after all. It had been a mistake. "Good-afternoon, Mr. Hall!" she said, with outward calmness. "I knew that I should see you here, and want to give you back this letter. which you must have addressed to me without knowing it." The poor man first of all became deathly white, then blushed to the roots ot his hair, and finally burst out laughing. It seemed such a ludi crous thing to write a love letter to Miss Jones at least, Miss Mary Jones and he fully expected that she would share the Joke. But she did not, and, seeing that she looked more serious than amused, he apol- oglzed for laughing, and added: "I would sooner you knew my se cret than anybody. I did try to tell you last night, but could not screw up my courage." Then all was explained. Mr. Hall had written two letters one to Mist Jones, referring to the bell ringer, whose threats he had decided to pay, no attention to, fearing to get the man into fresh trouble; the other letter Intended for Ida. As luck would have It, however, the letters had beer, put Into the wrong enve lopes. Before an hour had passed every thing had been explained to Ida in person, and as she was parting from her lover that night he laughingly said: "Well, Ida, darling, it might have been a very unhappy mistake."

The horso In an animal which In usefulness and close companionship Is our best friend, und should be doc- torcd very much liko a human. It your horso has colic make a good whisky toddy, not too strong, and with a long neck bottle, holding his head moderately high, drench him with two ounces of whisky, tho same amount of water and as much sugar as will all dlssolvo In tho liquid. Hub some turpentine and oil under tho girth field and ho will soon be well, However, If this does not cure, tne next conclusion niiiBt bo that the bot Is disturbed from too much acid in tho stomach, cuuned by overwork af ter a hearty meal. Drench the horse with pulverized soda, half teacupful to a pint ot warm water, which will sweeten the stomach, or neutralize the add, and If troubled after this drench with sugar and water. FOREST LEAVES. The dead leaves, which at this sea son of the yeur aro lying In heapB on every hand, where trees abound and which have heretofore been consid ered of no value, may bo used In va rious ways, a few of which I will name. If stored In a dry plnco they make excellent scratching material for tho hens In winter. When burying vego tables or apples select a well drained spot of ground and cover with dry leaves soveral Inches deep; over tho leaves spread somo hay or flno grass; on thla pluce tho apples (or whatever Is to bo burled) In an even heap and then cover with leaves, having them at least four Inches deep, when press down and held In place by boards set on end and resting on tho ieap Cover with earth In tho usual man ner. Instead of Rkftrlng celery In boxes ot sand in me cenar, wnore u soon loses Its natural flavor, It can be pro tected where It grows without dis turbing the roots, If enough leaves are packed over and around It and then covered all over with boards or old carpet to keep tho leaves from blowing off. As a covering for rhubarb or other plants which need protection in win ter forest leaves cannot be surpassed Anna Galllher, Norwich, Ohio. IMPORTANCE OF COOLING MILK, Probably the most Important pre caution that can be taken with milk Is to cool It as quickly as possible af ter it is drawn, says Farming. At temperature of sixty degrees F. and lower the germs grow but slowly, Ordinary well or spring water has a temperature of between fifty and six ty degrees F. If the farmer has an open water supply he also has a re frigerator that la cooler than the or dinary Ice box. If tho cans are low ered into the spring or well as soon as possible after milking, the milk will be cooled before the germs can have time to begin their growth. The proof of tho effectiveness of the plan Is seen on country milk routes where on the morning rounds, evening's milk that has been cooled in this manner and warm morning's milk are carried in separate cans. Customers demand the warm morning's milk as a guarantee of purity, and yet the cold evening's milk invariably keeps the better. If the germs in milk that is pro duced under the. ordinary conditions are killed within two or three hours after milking, the milk will keep well and may be used for nearly all purposes. In order to kill the mi crobes it is not necessary to boll the milk. A temperature of 180 degrees F. sterilizes it from all but a few rare germs, and at the same time leaves it as nalatable as fresh milk. In some creameries ordinary farmer'! milk is run through a thin pipe, one end of which is hot and the other end cold. Within half a minute the milk Is heated and then cooled. Such milk is safe and wholesome. Doubt less this method of treatment will be Increasingly usad. The principle Is the same that is applied in canning fruit. If the milk were sealed against new germs It would keep as well as condensed milk. BUSINESS CARDS, J, NEFF JURTICR OP TUB PRACR, I'nnalon Attorney nnd Hon! Ratuto A (tent. RAYMOND E.
