J HIS MOTHER. I
The cold giay shadows of the win
try twilight had enveloped tree and
meadow and sluggish forest stream In
their uncertain uilst, the factory chim
neys flung their fiery banners of
imoke against the leaden sky, a basso
rlllevo that would have made Rem
brandt himself rejoice, and the hum
of never-waning machinery in the lit
tle town rope above the rush of the
river like the buzz of a gigantic Insect.
Charles Kmeiy, the day superintendent
In the rolling mills, was just returning
to his home, having been relieved
by the night superintendent, and as
be walked along, his fen sounding
crisply on the hard frozi :i earth, he
whistled softly to hlmscit as light
hearted as a bird.
"You're going1 with us tonight,
Charley, to the opera"? cried a gay
voice, and two or three young men
eame by.
For upnn that especial evening there
was to be an opera In the little town,
ft genuine New York company, with
1 chorus, a full orchestra, and all the
paraphernalia of sronery and costume
which provincial residents so seldom
njoy, and the younger population
were on the qui vive of delightful ex
pectation. "I am going," said Bmery, slowly;
"but not with you!''
"But you will change your mind,
though," said Harrison, "when you
hear that Kate Marcy is to be of our
party Kate Marcy and the Miss Hal
lowells and Fanny Hewitt. There are
tight of us going. We've kept a seat
n purpose for you!"
"I have engaged myself to another
lady," paid Bmery.
Harrison laughed.
"Well, I'm sorry for It,' said he;
"but Miss Marcy Is not a girl who
Baed pine for a cavalier. We'll keep
the seat for you until a quarter of
eight And let me give you a warn
ing, old fellow! Kate Marcy Is a high
minded girl It won't do to trifle too
much with her!"
Charles Emery went on his way
rather graver and more Belf-absorbed.
He had asked his mothor the day be
fore to go, and his mother's eyes had
brightened with genuine delight.
"Your father often used to take me,
Charley," she said, "when Ve were
young people and lived in New York.
But it Is twenty years and more since
I have been to an opera. And if
you're quite sure, dear, that there is
no young lady whom you would rather
take"
"As If any young girl In the world
could be to me what my own darling
Blather Is!'" replied Emery, smiling
across the table to her.
"Then I Bhall be delighted to go,"
aid Mrs. Bmery. And her voice and
yes bore witness to the truth of her
words.
But now that a regular party had
been organized, and Kate Marcy had
promised to Join It, things looked dif
ferent to the young man. For a mo
ment he almost regretted that he Bad
engaged himself to take his mother.
"She would be as well pleased with
any concert," he said , to himself,
"and 1 should have the opportunity of
sitting all the evening next to Kate
Marcy. I'll ask her to let me off this
Ume.."She won't care."
But when he went Into the little
itting room of their humble domain,
and saw his mother with her silver
gray hair rolled Info puffs on either
side of her almost unwrinkled brow,
her best black silk donned, and the
opal brooch she owned plnne'd Into
the white lace folds at her bosom,
his heart misgave him.
"I have been trimming my bonnet
over with some violet-velvet flowers,"
eald Bhe, smiling, "so as to do you no
discredit, Charley; and I have a new
pair of violet kid gloves. And now
you must drink your tea. I've made
some of your favorite cream-biscuit,
and the kettle is nearly boiling. Oh,
Charley, you'll laugh at me, I'm
afraid, but I feel like a little girl go
ing to her first children's party. It's
o seldom, you know, that a bit of
pleasure comes in my way!''
And then Charles Emery made up
his mind that his mother was more to
him In her helpless old age and sweet,
affectionate dependence, than any
blooming damsel whose eyes shone
like stars and whose cheeks rivalled
the September peach.
"Going with some one else!" said
Kate Marcy, rather surprised and not
exactly pleased.
She was a tall, beautiful maiden,
the belle of C , and rather an heir
ess in' her own right She. liked
Charles Emery, and she rather sur
mised that he liked her. 1 And when
Fhe had been studying up her toilet
for the opera, she had selected a blue
dress, with blue flowers for her hair
and ornaments of turquoise, because
she had onco heard Mr. Emery say
that blue was his favorite color.
"Going with some else!" she repeat
ed. "Well, he has a right to suit himself."
1
And she kept within her own soul
the Jealousy that disturbed her all
toe while Bhe was sitting waiting for
the great green curtain to be drawn
np, until, of a sudden, there was a
slight bustle In the row of seats be
yond, and Bmery entered with hla
mother.
Then Kate's orergloomed face grew
bright again. She drew a long breath
of relief and turned to the stage;
It was as If the myriad gaslights had
all of a sudden been turned up, as
If all the mimic world In the opera
house had grown radiant
Never was a voice sweeter to her
ears than the somewhat thlu and ex
hausted warble of the prima donna;
never did scenery glow with such nat
ural tints or footlights shine more
softly. Kate Marcy declared the opera
was "perfection!"
"Yes; but," said pert little Nina
Cummlngs, "do look at Charley Em
ery with that little old woman; 'Why ;
couldn't he have come and sat with
us?"
Kate said nothing. In the crowd
now surging out of the aisles of the
little opera house she could scarcely
venture to express her entire opinion,
but she snld In a low, earnest tone,
"I don't know what you think of It,
Nina, but I, for my part, respect Mr.
Emery a thousand times more for his
kindness to his mother."
And, aluios't at the same Becond, she
found herself looking directly Into
Charley's eyes.
For a moment only. The crowd
separated (hem almost eie they could
recognize one another, but Kate felt
sure and her cheeks glowed scarlet
that he had heard her words.
"Charley," said little Mrs. Emery,
looking1 Into her son's face as they
emerged Into the veil of softly falling
snow which seemed to enwrnp the
whole outer world In a dim, dazzling
inysteij-, "who was that girl with
the large blue eyes and the sweet face
wrapped Into a whlt, fleecy sort of
hood the one who said she' respected
you?"
"It was Kale Marcy, mother."
"She has the face of an angel,"
said Mrs. Emery, softly.
The next day Charley went boldly
to the old Marcy homestead, whose
red brick gables, sheeted with Ivy,
rose up out of the leafless elms and
beeches, Just beyond the noise and
stir of the busy village.
"Miss Marcy," he said, "I heard
what you said laBt night"
"It was not meant for your ears,
Mr. Emery," said Kate, coloring a
soft rosy pink.
"But," he pursued, looking her
full in the face, "I cannot be satisfied
with that, Miss Marcy, I want a warm
er feeling. It you could teach yourseR
to love me "
The dimples came around Kate
Marcy's red lips, wreathing her smile
In wondrous beauty.
"Mr. Bmery,'' she said, "I do love
you. I have loved you for a long
time."
And Charley went home, envying
neither king nor prince.
"But I never should have loved you
so dearly," his young wife told him
afterward, "if you hadn't been so kind
to that little mother of 'yours. In my
eyes you never looked so handsome
as when you stood bending over her
gray head In the crowded hall of the
opera house that night"
Carlsbad Improvements.
Consul Will L. Lowrio writes of Im
provements planued by tho Austrian
city of Carlsbad which will cost sev
eral hundred thousand dollars:
"A 13,760,000 loan has been secured
recently. A part of this sum will be
expended under the direction of the
City Council, and the balance Is for
refunding purposes. The betterments
proposed include changes In the
streets, enlarged colonnades at the
tueniial springs, baths, etc. It is re
ported that an electric railroad may be
constructed connecting the suburb of
Fischern, where the railroad stations
are located, with Carlsbad. This is
a much needed Improvement, as the
distance is more than a mile and the
carriage charges are high. The great
est opposition to the complete' electTlc
railway system, whloh would be a boon
to the 270,000 annual visitors to this
spa, comes from the hotel and lodging
house keepers, who are able under
present conditions to charge extremely
high prices for rooms. The congestion
during the three months when the
number of "cure guests" Is at its
height will be relieved somewhat next
year, when one, and possibly two, large
(hotels will be built, equipped, with
modern conveniences. This will be
appreciated especially by the Ameri
cans, who, to the number of eight thou
sands, come to Carlsbad annually dur
ing the eummer season." Consular

"Ask that gentloman. He is a pro

The friend received the beggar's
request in a sympathetic manner, and,
turning to the merchant, remarked:
"This seems to be a worthy case, Mr.
Jones. Give him a dollar from the oash

It was In vain that the merchant

An Adventure.
The following is an adventure of
mine with a highway robber while
driving from my uncle's house to tho
village. About 11 o'clock In the fore
noon undo told me to hitch up the
horse and drive to the village, about
a mile and a half away, to get some
mall and make some purchases. In
about twenty-five minutes I was on
my way, and on nearlng a little pass,
about an eighth of a mile long a
man came out of a thicket and asked
me to give him a ride to the village,
wliloh I did. As we reached the end
of the pass (he Belzed the reins, grab
bed my coat collar and demanded my
money. As he pocketed my money,
which amounted to about 45 cents, he
gave me a severe beating and disap
peared Into the woods. As I returned
home with some bruises on my face
which I could not hide, the story of
my adventure was told. Since then I
have never boen allowed to go to the
village alone. Henry Gensley, in the
New York Tribune.
Faithful Larry.
Not very long ago I was in the li
brary, studying, and Larry (my dog)
came up to me and began to whine. I
was all alone In the house, and as
Larry took hold of my skirt, I fol
lowed him to see what was the mat
ter. Ho led me to the kitchen, and
there I saw some cloths In back of
the stove were blazing! I had quite
a time putting the Are out, but fin
ally succeeded. The fire was caused
by a box of corn flakes, which had
been placed in the back of the stove
to heat, bursting into flames and ig
niting the cloths.
When I threw tho box out, as I
did immediately, my waist caught fire.
I was frightened, but put it out by
throwing water on myself. When Lar
ry saw I was afire ho jumped on me
and never stirred when I threw the
water, though it went directly in his
face.
Another time I was outdoors play
ing and Larry led me to the house
the same way, and air he wanted me
to do was to let the cat out. The cat
was at the sida doorf crying to come
out. As soon as I let the cat out
Larry ran off to play perfectly satis
fied. Alison Winslow, in the New
York Tribune.
The "Boy Police."
In the city of Council Bluffs, la.,
there is a unique organization known
as the "Boy Police," composed, as Its
name . Indicates, entirely of boys,
whose duty it is to preserve order
among the lads of that city and to
see that the rising generation does
not become too boisterous in its fun.
The young law officers act under the
eyes and orders of the regular Police
Department of the city and have au
thority to make arrests when neces
sary to preserve order.
The size of the force fluctuates, at
times decreasing until not a single
momber Is on the roll, and at other
times Increasing until it reaches a
strength of 250. This Is the maxi
mum number allowed to serve in the
boy police force. The boys receive
no pay for their work, but are re
compensed solely by the prestige
which accrues to them as guardians
of the peace.
So greatly Is the honor esteemed
at holiday times, when the mind of
Young America naturally turns to
mischief, that anything from 500 to
1,600 boys besiege the police head
quarters, seeking appointments as po
licemen. It is the greatest honor
that can come to a Council Bluffs boy
to be made a policeman. Every
grade of society is found among the
applicants, from the street Arab to
the son of a banker and railroad mag
nate, for practically every lad In
Council Bluffs is a standing candidate
for the job of a boy policeman.
The "Kid Police," as the force is
popularly known, originated In the
mind of Chief of Police Richmond of
Council Bluffs, and was more the re
sult of an accident than of mature
thought It was an Inspiration, how
ever, that has forked wonders
among the boys of Council Bluffs, and
has been so successful I'l its object
that it Is belns seriously "nnslderrd
by a n'imliiir of other Amerun cities.

Boy and The Giant.
At a certain place in the interior
lived a manly little boy who was
very fond of hunting. He would take
bis luuch and go off bunting very
early in the morning and stay ail day,
bringing home two or three porcu
pines In the evening. One morning
he started earlier than usual, and
came upon a giant as tall as the trees.
He was very much frightened and ran
away, with the big man in pursuit.
As the giant was not a very fast
runner, the boy kept ahead of him un
til he came to a sort of cave like a
house at the foot of a hill, and en
tered it When the big man saw th's
he said: "Come here, my grandson."
The boy refused, and the giant contin
ued his entreaties for a long time. At
last the boy consented to go with him,
eo the giant said: "Get inside of my
shirt I will carry you that way."
Then the boy vaulted in there, an'l
they started off.
After they had gone along In this
manner for some time the boy, who
bod bis head out, saw a very small
bird, called old person and said:
"Grandpa, there Is a bird I would like
to have." Then the big man stopped
and let him down, and he shot the
bird with an arrow and put It Into the
big man's shirt But' now this bli'd
had Increased the boy's weight so
much that the giant could scarcely
move along. At every step he took
he sank deep Into the moss. When
the 'boy noticed this be said to him
self: "How is It that, Blnoe I picked
up this small bird, I have gotten very
heavy and it is hard for him to
walk?" Then he threw the .bird away
and the giant walked on again as
lightly as before. The boy enjoyed so
muoh being with this giant that he
had forgotten all about his father
and mother. After that they travel
ed on together until they came to a
very larg lake. In It the boy saw
beaver housees, and the beaver dam
ran right across It. He thought:
"This is a beaver lake. This Is the
kind of place my father has told
me about." Then the big man tore a
hole through the top of a beaver
house, took all of the beavers out and
made a fire right back of the lake at
which to cook them. They camped
there for several days, living on bear
er meat and drying the skins. But
the first evening the giant said: "Keep
a lookout If you hear any noise dur
ing the night, wake me up. There It
a bigger man than I of whom I am
much afraid." He also said to the
boy: "Sleep some distance away from
me, or I might move against you or
throw my leg on you so as to kill
you."
The second night they encamped
there the boy hoard the bushes break
ing, and Btire enough the second gi
ant came along. He was so tall that
his head was far up above the trees,
and they could not soe it This sec
ond giant had been looking for the
other for a long time unsuccessfully,
bo he rushed upon him, threw him
down, and lay on top of him. Then
tho boy's friend cried, "Grandson,
take that club of mine out and throw
it at him.' The boy ran to the big man's
bed, took his club, which was made
from the entire skeleton of a beaver,
out from under it, and threw it at
the Intruder. As soon as he let it
go out of his hands It began chewing
at the second giant's leg, and, as he
was unable to feel it, the club chewed
off both his legs. Then the other
giant, who had been almost smother
ed, killed hi mond threw bis body in
to the lake.
After this the boy's companion had
nothing to fear, and wandered from
lake to lake, and the boy was so fond
of hunting that he forgot all about
his father and mother. It was now
winter time, and that winter was
very severe. From the time the sec
ond giant had been killed he had been
doing nothing but killing beaver.
One evening, however, the boy be
gan thinking of his father and bis
mother, and was very quiet Then
the big man said, "Why is it that
you are so quiet this evening?" The
boy answered, "I have Just thought of
my father and mother. I feel lonely
(1. e., homesick) for them." Then his
companion said, "Would you like to
go to them?" "I can't go to them,
because I don't know where they are.
I don't know whioh way to go to
them." Then the big man said,
"All right, you can go," but the
boy did not know what he meant. Now
the big man went to a amall tree,
broke It off, trimmed it well for ths
boy, and said to him, "Take this
along, and, as soon as you feel that
you are lost, let it stand straight up
and fail over. Go in the direction in
which it falls. Keep on doing this
until you get to your father's place."
At first the boy was afraid to start
off alone, but finally he did so. When
ever he was in doubt about the di
rection, he let the tree fall and it led
him at last right down to his father'
village, where all were exceedingly
glad to see him. Recorded by John
R. Swanton for the Smithsonian In

Age of Olive Trees.
The longlevlty of olive trees is ex
traordinary. In Syria recently havs
been found some remarkably ancient
olive trees whose age are establish
ed beyond question. A trust deed ex
ists whloh relates to an orchard cov
ering 490 trees near Tripoli, Syria,
the trust deed having been issued
499 years ago.
Though the trees look aged, they
still bear fruit of fine quality in
abundance and are likely to maintain
their productiveness for many hun
dreds of years yet. An olive grove
near Beirut is admitted to be the
third largest olive farm in the world.
Syrian fruit farmers are extending,
olive culture with much zeal and ef
fect One planter recently set out
300,000 trees in a block for commer
cial purposes.
Under European systems of culture
the Syrians make the olive trees bear
each season, while In the old days
one crop In three years was thought
to be all that the trees could produce.
The low cropping capacity of the
trees was dus to the native method
of thrashing the fruits from the
branches w!fa sticks, which seriously
injured them.
The methods of grinding the olives
for oil and picking the fruit are pe
culiar. Neither the grinders nor pick
ers receive v. ages, but are paid on
percentage. The pickers receive 5
percent of to 3 actual fruit picked and
the grlndelrs get 10 percent of the
fruit around. Dundee Advertiser.
