soon.
Charmed into silence lay
The forest, dimly lit;
No wind that summer day
Moved the least leaf of it:
No choric branches stirred
Its calm profound and deep,
Nor voice of any bird,
But silence dreamed like sleep.
Like dew upon the grass
It fell upon my soul:
Loosed it to soar and pass
Beyond the stars' control.
Vague memories it woke,
Shapes far too frail for touch;
And then the silence broke:
Lest I phould learn too much.

The Future Mrs. Witlierspoon.
By KATE L. WILSON.
There Is a story by one of our
American favorites about a man who
assisted matrimony by making an ad
vance entry In his diary: "On this day
I met my fate." I received my In
spiration from that story, and having
made up my mind to, take a wife, and
having been so unsusceptible as never
to have fallen in love, and seeing not
the slightest prospect that I ever
should, I determined to let fate man
age the affair for me. So I opened
my diary at random, and carefully
refraining from observing the date, I
wrote: "On this day I met the future
Mrs. Witherspoon." With a load re
moved from my mind I closed the
book. Now let the lndy keep the ap
pointment and she would find me no
laggard.
The weeks passed by, and each
morning I opened my. diary with an
expectant eye for my prophetic entry.
One day In the late spring I received
a letter from Clara Crawford Inviting
me to spend a week at her farm in
the Berkshires. She was to have a
house warmlngof old friends, she said.
I certainly came within that class.
,We had known each other ever since
she was little more than a baby and I
sported long yellow curls. She was a
mighty fine girl, full of energy and
resources for doing the unexpected.
Her father had left her a snug little
fortune, sufficient to have enabled
her to have nervous prostration at
once and enter upon a life of useless
ness if her inclinations had lain In
that direction. But Clara, after grad
uating from college, took a course in
Jaw in order that she might manage
her own property and Eave herself
from the possibility of dishonest or
stupid advisors. Her strenuous life
had seemed to prevent my seeing
much of her after she became too old
to play "Have and Hounds," "Prison
ers' Base" and other like games. She
taught sewing to a class of girls and
algebra to a class of boys In the col
lege settlement, and in the meantime
took lessons in every conceivable
thing herself. After skirt dancing,
fencing and boxing her delighted fe
male friends excitedly demanded:
"What will she do next?. Her "next"
wa9 the farm, and this was my first
notice of it. As I came to think of it,
Clara had sort of dropped me from
her invitations of late. She used to
ask me on her yacht, but I always
had something else on hand. She in
vited me to dinners and suppers while
she'was going to cooking school, and
said she wanted to try things on her
friends, but I nearly always had an
engagement. As I thought this all
over going up on the train, it oc
curred to me that Clara had not been
too busy to forget me, though I had,
with the rudeness of an old friend,
paid little heed to her courtesies. "By
Jove," thought I, "I've treated her
shabbily. I wonder she asked me to
her house warming. On account of
'auld lang syne,' of course. I won
der who the others will be." Then
with sudden interest I thought of the
entry in my diary. Perhaps the fut
ure Mrs. Witherspoon would be there!
So I fell to dreaming of what she
would be like and forgot all about my
hostess.
Clara was at the station with a
smart little buggy and a spirited
young horse. She was good to look
upon in her white linen and correct
gloves and shoes as she flashed her
broad smile at me, displaying her fine
teeth and deep dimples.
"So you did come, after all," she
laughed as I scrambled In, ,while the
young horse plunged and reared at a
passing electric. "I wouldn't believe
It till I actually saw you. You won't
be sorry you came when you see the
alee girls I've invited."
"One nice girl was inducement
nough," I replied, with an admiring
. (lance that was genuine.
I was the first guest to arrive, it
seemed. After supper, Clara, leaving
her aunt knitting on the piazza, took
me over the farm and pointed out all
ithe boundaries. I had never noticed
Before what a handsome girl she was.
he must be getting along in years,
too, I thought. I'm five years older
Ithan she is, and I'm thirty-five. She
'must be thirty. By Jove, but she
doesn't look it.
"Dolly Bingham Is coming up to
morrow," said Clara, as we walked
'back to the house. "You muBt look
out for yourself. She's a widow and
idangerous." By the time she had
Itold me all about Dolly and the other
(girls that were coming it was time to
iretire. Upon opening my diary the
piext morning I confess to a thrill of
Ccltement as I read: "On this day I
et the, future Mrs. Wfthefspoon."
Clara and I drove the span to the
fBtation for Dolly Bingham that after
iiiopn. She was from Chicago, but
(Clara had assured me sr 'twas a gen
lne"so widow." Ceruinly shs was
ft' beauty. She looked to be about
twenty-five, and as in my experience
a woman is always at least ten years
older than she looks I set her down
at thirty-five or forty. She seemed
very much interested In me, regard
ing me with a sort of slzlng-up ex
preslon In her brown eyes. She was
demure in her manner, and It seemed
to me she was inclined to patronize
mo a little. On the whole Bhe was
charming and I was by no means dis
posed to fly from fate.
Other guests came from time to
time, and as Clara's time was much,
taken up in showing them over the
farm and explaining the fine points
of the stock, I was thrown much with
Mrs. Bingham. Theoretically I should
have been transported by this ar
rangement, but I found myself rest
less when Clara was not about and
began to realize how attractive her
direct gray eyes and unaffected ways
were becoming to me. I was grateful
for tho few tete-a-tetes she granted
me in fie turkey run and while feed
ing pig weed to the fat Yorkshires,
but I wanted more of her society.
The fascinating widow devoted her
self to me, but down in my heart re
bellion was brewing. "Hang fate!'
I'll marry whom I choose."
"Your father's coming up to spend
Sunday," said Clara. "Isn't he ft
dear? He'll give me lots of points."
Dad arrived Saturday afternoon.'
He had charge of the Chicago office
of our firm and I hadn't seen him
since visiting him in his "widower's
hall" in the Windy City some months
back. It was a real pleasure to meet
him.
The ladles were not on view when
he arrived and we repaired ,to our
rooms to make the simple toilet re
quired for the evening meal. I must
have gone silently, for the couple
standing by the rail did not move till
my step struck the boards. I had
time to see my father with an arm
about .the slender waist of Mrs. Bing
ham, and Mrs. Bingham with an arm
about my father's noble coat collar.
before they quickly moved apart and,
turning, met my embarrassed sur
prise. "Don't go," said my father with a
merry look in his eye. "I want to
present to you the future Mrs. With
erspoon.
I was glad It turned out like that,
as it didn't require any breach of
prophesy on my part or any expung
ing of the record. I was desperately
in love for the first time in my life,
and but for dad's unexpected revela
tion the prophetic page would have
been ruthlessly torn from my diary.
Before I went home I was engaged
to Clara. Boston Post.
I How Women's Hats Preserve 5
the Mississippi Levees. S
It is difficult to sen thn conneotlnn
between women's hats and the levees
along tho Mississippi River, never
theless, absurd as .this may appear in
a bare statement of fact, it is the
truth. During the past fall and win
ter feminine headdresses in the form
of the fashionable fur turbans, have
Indirectly been instrumental in pre
serving intact .the great Btretches of
embankment which restrain the pow
erful Mississippi from sweeping over
the surrounding country. The me
dium through which this interesting
state of affairs has come about Is the
muskrat.
In practically every Instance th
original cause of a crevasse along the
river front has been traced to a musk-
rat s hole, and though the State of
Louisiana has tried in numerous wava
to exterminate these pests, their num
bers seemed to Increase. Unwittingly
tho milliners of New Orleans came
to the rescue when they purchased
several hundred muskrat furs from
trappers in the neighborhood, and
this new trimmlnir for the lanntv lit
tle turbans immediately sprang into
popularity. Hunters quickly learned
of .this demand for "rats," and great
numbers of pelts were poured upon
the market, bringing an average price
of twenty cents apiece. Without great
difficulty an experienced trapper
might secure several dozen skins
aauy, and this Industry became de
cidedly more profitable than gunning
for ducks and other game. It now
appears very probable that Louisiana
may rid herself entirely of the bur
rowing rodents which have endan
gered her cities and cost the State
many thousands of dollars annually.

Standard Oil Batter.
It Is had enough to serve to the
poor of the country the abominable
oleomargarine produced by the beef
trust, but the limit of popular pa
tience will be reached and there will
be a great rumpus if an attempt Is
made to feed the masses with Stan
dard Oil butter, which Is nothing
more than the coagulated and de
odorized grease of coal oil. If the
Federal Government has no sympathy
for the consumer, It should have
some consideration for that noble
and inoffensive animal, the cow, and
prevent her from being driven out ot
business by a heartless monopoly.

I GETTING A GORILLA ALIVE.
I Captain Fritz Duquesne, the Boer
Ivory hunter, was commissioned by a
German naturalist society to capture
one of each species of African quad
rumnna. He was entirely successful
in the work, except that he could ob
tain no gorilla, he writes in Hamp
ton's Magazine under the title, "Hunt
ing Ahead of Roosevelt in East
Africa." Finally a pigmy pointed out
ft portion of the dank Jungle in which
ft gorilla had been seen.
"For four days," continues the Cap
tain, "we camped in this hotbed of
disease. Beaters went in all direc
! tions searching for the gorilla. At
laBt some deep, wide scratches were
found on a cluster of vines. On close
examination the unmistakable hair of
the gorilla was found on a broken
twig. After some hours we found the
tree where the gorilla lived. We
could tell it by the greasy appear
ance of the bark, made so by the re
peated rubbing of the gorilla's body.
! We could tell by the fresh marks,
with sap still wet, that the anmal had
recently ascended the tree. The
scratches were short and deep, show
ing that it had lifted Itself up and not
slid down, which would have made a
long, shallow scratch.
I "We spread a strong net around
the tree In a circle sloping upward on
the outer side. Around the top of
the net there were drawn ropes from
four directions held by half a dozen
! natives hidden in the bush. These
I were to bring the top ot the net to
1 gether and thus bag our game.
I "After waiting some hours the
( leaves above rustled and then opened
' as a six-foot male gorilla descended
unsuspectingly and entered the trap.
I signaled, the four ropes were pulled
' at once, and we had our animal for
a moment. He roared in fury, twist
t ing, Jumping and blling the rope into
, pieces. The natives were pulled about
; like dolls as he tried to reach first one
( and then nnother. The professor
I Jumped about In excitement, trying
1 to focus a camera on tho Infuriated
: animal.
"At last the mighty arms ot the
gorilla broke a hole through the net
and he tore the rest from him as
though it were a rotten rag. Most of
the natives fled in dismay. The pro
fessor dropped his camera and tried
j to escape; in a moment tho gorilla
grasped him in its terrible hands.
"I seized my rifle and fired In the
air to frighten the animal. In my po
j Bitlon I could not shoot at him with
j out hitting my friend. For a monisnt
the gorilla stood still, holding the
now unconscious man as though he
were a baby, the brute's lips drawn
back from his glistening teeth. I
thrust another cartridge in my rifle.
As I did so there was a buzz in the
air, and an arrow, shot by a native,
pierced the gorilla's side. A roar
burst from his red throat and he
dropped his victim. Like a flash, be
fore I could shoot, a native sprang
from the leaves, and, half throwing,
half thrusting, drove an nRsagai into
the gorilla's heart. With a groan
the brute fell dead.
"Examing the professor I found
that his right arm was broken and
that some of his ribs were crushed
j into his lungs. We gavo up .the et
i fort to get a live gorilla, and, placing
the Injured man in a hammock, car
ried him back toward" the east coast.
He died on tho road. Out on the
veldt beside a native village a lonely
little slab marked 'Carl Bloch' sticks
up above the grass. It is the profes
sor's grave. Hunting is not all ex
citing adventure and laughing vic
tory. It has its tears, like other
thing3."
TRAGIC HISTORY OF A DIAMOND.
The possession of tho IIopo dia
mond recently sold in Paris for 16,
000 is the Btory of a long series of
tragedies murder, suicide, madness
and various other misfortunes. The
first recorded Western owner was the
great traveler, Jean Baptiste Taver
nlor, who was born in Paris in 1605
and who died ct Moscow, about the
year 16S6. Tavernler, on his return
from the East, sold twenty-five largo
diamonds to the Grand Monarque in
1668, and among them the diamond
known by the name of Hope. Taver
nier's son involved his father in such
unfortunate speculations that he was
compelled to sell his estate to pay bis
debts, and at the age of eighty-one to
start on a fresh Journey to the East.
When it became part of the crown
Jewels Mme. de Montespan was in
monopoly of the King's affections,
and he yielded to her request to wear
the famous blue diamond. But by a
curious coincidence her influence over
the King declined from about this
time, and Mme. de Malntenon took
her place. Nicolas Fouquet, Superintendent-General
dcB Finances, bor
rowed the diamond from Louis XIV.
for one of those co3tly fcte3 which he
gave, and which appear to have
roused the Jealousy of the King. He
kept it for some time; ho fell Into dis
grace, was imprisoned and died of
apoplexy. The diamond lay for a
long series of years during the regen
cy with the other crown Jewels, until
Marie Antoinette became Queen of
France. She heard of its extraordi
nary beauty, and by the command of
Louis XVI. it was given to her. She
wore it, we are told, about her throat
at a great ball at the Tullerles. The
Prlncesse de Lamballe, her bosom
frlond the friend for whom the his
torlc Gainsborough hat was flrBt
made occasionally borrowed and
wore the blue diamond. Marie An
toinette was beheaded and the Prln
cesse de Lamballe was done to death
by a Paris mob.
For nearly foity years the diamond
remained pcrduo so far as the public
was concerned. Its actual history in
that interval will probably never be
fully told. It is said that Wilhelra
Fals, an Amsterdam diamond cutter,
had been commissioned to cut it, and
that It was stolen from him by his
son. The former was ruined and the
latter committed suicide. The young
er Fals is further said to have given
it to a Frenchman, Francis Beaulieu,
a native of Marseilles, who came to
London and, when In the last stages
ot destitution and ill-health, sent for
Daniel Ellason, a London dealer, and
offered It for sale. Ellason paid the
price asked and took the diamond;
the next day Beaulieu died .of starva
tion. There csin, however', be no
doubt about the fact that the diamond
was purchased from Ellason about
the year 1830 for 18,000 by the late
Henry Thomas Hope, ot Deepdene.

AN UNFRIENDLY HORDE.
Mr. Thomas crammed a fresh stick
of birch into his raging little stove,
and closed the cloor which John Arn
old had left ajar on his entrance.
The tiny shoe shop thus became air
tight. Then the proprietor replied
to John's question of what he thought
of New York.
"I can tell ye in 'mazing few
words," he said. "It's considerable
of a place. Lots doing, an' splendid
big buildings, an' schools, an'
churches, an all that. They think
they're some punkins, too. An I
ain't saying that there ain't plenty
of real smart ones there. Spite of
all that, though, I call 'em kind o'
Ignorant, besides being cold In their
manners."
"I want to know!" commented
John, visibly impressed by this re
cital. "Ill tell ye," continued Mr.
Thomas. "Brother Tom's boy's of
fice is down hear the big Brooklyn
Bridge, and I used to go down there
nnd set a good deal while my wife
visited with Ills wife up in Harlem.
"When it eomo what they call rush
hour, I used to go down an' stand on
the bridge an' watch 'em passing by,
hundreds of 'em. on their home; an'
I got to feel real friendly, an' to know
lots of 'em by sight. But "
Mr. Thomas paused impressively
"but although I didn't miss an aft'
roon whilst I was there, an' that was
two weeks, nary one o' them men

nition. "It wa'n't my place to speak first,
me being a stranger, an' they home,

self to keep frcra telling of 'em Just

THE COMMON NEED.
Unless one has traveled the arid
regions, one has no idea how good
water really is, declares Dr. William
T. Hornaday in "Camp-Fires on Des
ert and Lava." He explains further
that he does not mean Apolllnarls,
but Just plain, old-fashioned well, or
"water-hole" or. desert "tank" water,
as the case may be. This apprecia
tion of water made the party very
fympathetlc in regard to the fate of
certain wild fowl which appeared at
the "tank" near which a night's
camp had been established.
Just at sunset, when our little
lonesome world was settling down
for the night, pome one excitedly an
nounced n discovery.
"Thero are two ducks In the tank!"
Some one else quickly caught up a
loaded shotgun and hurried along the
side of the embankment to the upper
end of tho water.
Secretly, I hoped that those ducks
would take alarm and fly away In
time. To shoot those little lone
some birds that had flown on weary
wing over a good hundred miles of
waterless desert, clear down from the
Gila River, seemed to me like a sin
against nature. Those two individual
ducks seemed entitled to our hospi
tality and protection.
The god Vishnu elected to preserve
them. When we heard the report of
the gun our spirits sank; but when
the hunter quickly returned with the
terse announcement, "I missed
them!" some one said:
"I'm glad of it!" and to our sur
prise he answered, "So am I!"

Journalism is, and must be, in a
hurry; literature is not. Literature
deals with the permanent elements of
human things. A Journalist has to
take the moods and occasions ot the

literature more or less describes the
attitude of a judge; the Journalist
dealing with what are called live is

advocate. Literature deals with
ideals, the Journalist is a man of ac

THIN THE APPLES.
In discussing the question as to
whether or not it will pay to thin ap

"When there is a general crop of ap

very great and widespread over tho
country, it will pay to .thin to such
an extent as to Insure good sized
fruit; otherwise it will not pay, ex

A GOOD APPLE CROP.
Henry E. Allen relates In the Ben
ton Harbor News how a neighbor
treated an old orchard and his own
and got a fine crop of apples while
ethers about him had none. He is
Porter Bryant, and he got $1200 for
his fruit In the orchard $100 for
tho fall fruit, and $S00 for the win
ter. Asked how he secured such a
fine result, Mr. Bryant said: "I did It
by thorough cultivation and spraying.
I bought an orchard near my own,
and one-half of It I treated about the
same as my own, beginning in the
spring. The other half ot thi3 orchard
was not sprayed or cultivated as it
should have been, so the result was
that tho half I tended had nearly as
good a crop of apples as my own or
chard, while the other haif did not
pay expenses."
CARE OF CURRANT BUSHES.
Set your currant bushes quite dees,
and let them get a good grip on the
soil, for If they do not, an open win
ter has a way of getting under the
roots and heaving tffbm out. I al
ways mulch them heavily with coal
ashes, or some other good mulch, and
the ground must be kept clean. If
set where quack grass has the slight
est hold, it will tangle Itself into the
roots and finally beat you. The soil
should also be very thoroughly under
drained with stone or tile. While the
currant likes a moist soil It cannot
endure a wet or mucky place. The
rows should be about six feet apart,
leaving sufficient room' for the culti
vator, and this should be run con
stantly until picking begins. The
bushes should just about reach over
to each other with their tips. It is
well enough to shade the ground, but
leaving the bushes open to sunshine
and air. Trimming .the currant is a
simple affair, after you have once
solved it; but do not-let an inex
perienced hand get bold ot the job,
for he will be likely to work mischief.
You must cut out most of the new
shoots or suckers, which are likely to
be abundant. It these grow they will
take the life from the larger stalks,
and you will soon have a mass of dead
wood, and ot live wood that cannot
produce fruit. ' The old wood should
never be cut until It gets brittle and
can be replaced with new stems. That
is, allow one or two ot the very best
of the new canes to remain, provided
you see a probable need of .them. A
currant stem should bear fruit tor at
least five years. E. P. Powell, la the
