satxture and bake for one-halt hour.
FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One of the
, Most Remarkable of Natural
Curiosities.
Remarkable fossil forest exist In
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able. It Is believed, of the several fos
sil forests which, have boon discovered
there are others In Egypt, In Cali
fornia and In Arizona because In the
Yellowstone moat of the trees were
entombed In their original upright po
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for Instance, the fos
silized trunks have evidently been car
ried a long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the .trees now
stand whore they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them aro gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on tho steep
hillsides Just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it is difficult at
a little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the lichen
covered stumps of kindred living spe
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore well entitled to be
called a true fossil forest
It should not be supposed, however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass ot
volcanic material falling on them
tripped them down to bare, upright
'trunks.

MISSING LETTERS I
i Words In English Language.
. The English language is constantly
'growing and almost every person's
vocabulary changes from year to year.
The first edition of Webster's diction
ary, two quarto volumes, published In
1828, contained 70,000 words and this
aomber was Increased by several
thousand In the second - edition of
Webster's dictionary In 1840.'- An edi
tion of 1890 contained 175.000. words
and tho latest dittos! has more than
400,000. Many of these are technical,
scientific, or for other reasons re
stricted to limited use, but neverthe
less they are words.' Obviously an
educated man has a larger vocabulary,
r command of words, than an unedu
cated one and a professional writer or
public speaker needs more than a day
laborer. Shakespeare had a vocabu
lary of about 15,000 words, but some
that he used are now obsolete, while
a large number of new ones have been
added. Milton used about 8,000 words.
It Is not likely that any public speak
er ever uses more than a few thou
sand words or the average citlxen or
man on the street more than a few
hundred. k
Chamberlain's Recipe for Success.
One night at Lady Jeune'B house Jo
seph Chamberlain said to me that he
believed any man of even moderate en
dowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre
mitting effort and "enduring to the
end." To my question, "Why, then, do
so many men fall short of their auibl
tions?" he answered: "They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the first
bridge and at the second, perhaps at
the third; but the dragonB are always
moro formidable the further we go,
Many turn back disheartened, and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none U willing to
have a try with the demon at the last
bridge; but If he does, be has won
forever." Princess Lazarorlch Hrebe-

Three months ago they had been
strangers. Now Barry's ring gleamed
on Ruth's slim, sun tanned finger. In
the shadow of the hedge Barry bent
his tall head to exchange the parting
kiss.
"Remember, dear," he said, that I
will come In the spring to claim my
wife! In the meantime, we shall see
each other oftenthe city is only two
hours distant, and besides, 1 shall ex
pect a lotter every day!"
Ho they parted, narry waving his
hat from the stage until It vanished
over the brow of the hill. Then Ruth
turned and went slowly toward home.
Her eyes were so heavy with un
Bhed tears that she did not see an ap
proaching runabout until the horn
blared sonorously In her ears. She
turned aside.
"Is that you, Ruth?" asked a man's
surprised voice.
"Oh, Dan!" she laughed, shakily
brushing away the telltale tears.
"How you frightened , me!"
Dan Wales looked down at the girl's
slim figure and noted with a frown
that she had been crying. He bad
loved Ruth, always, long before the
handsome city chap had cut him out
"Where is Barry Lane?" he asked
abruptly.
Ruth's face grew scarlet and then
white. How readily Dan had con
nected Barry with her tears!
"He has gone home," said Ruth,
coldly, "and I must be hurrying along."
With a hasty gesture of farewell she
disappeared down the road.
That evening in the library of his
handsome home, Barry Lane told his
parents of his love for Ruth Fielding
and showed them her picture. Two
hours later he stepped out to the
nearest letter-box and mailed a letter
to the girl he bad left behind in Sea
port. Tho morning after Barry's depar
ture from Seaport the little post office
was crowded with Its usual expect
ant throng. Eva White, behind the par
tition, poored at the gossiping crowd,
her lip curling knowingly as she Iden
tified each and mentally guessed
tho hopes and fears that brought them
there so regularly three times a day.
She did not seo the face of Ruth
Fielding until the crowd had depart
ed. Ruth looked sweet and dewy In
her pink gingham and nodded a greet
ing to Eva White before she peered
into her own letter box.
It was empty!
Ruth grew pale. How confident she
had been that Barry would keep his
promise and write to her. She laughed
at her fears and left the office, but
she could not forget the contemptu
ous smile that hovered about Eva's
face.
Eva White had made no secret of
her Infatuation for Barry, and his un
swerving devotion to Ruth had embit
tered the post office assistant.
Ruth went home and wrote her
promised letter to Barry Lane, and
resigned herself to waiting until the
evening mall should bring her Barry's
belated letter.
But day after day passed, the au
tumn waned, the first snow toll, and
Ruth had not received that promised
letter. At New Year's Ruth returned
Barry's ring by registered mall. The
UBual receipt card came back to her,
signed with Barry's firm hand, and
the episode was ended.
Gradually Dan Wales renewed his
wooing ot Ruth, and by June their
wedding day was set Dan knew that
he did not possess Ruth's entire heart,
but he was confident of winning it In
the end.
It was a beautiful day late in June
when Ruth Fielding stood in her
bridal attire before her simple dress
ing table. Suddenly she went to her
bed and knelt praying.
While she knelt the door opened
and Eva White, dressed to attend the
wedding, peered in and then entered
softly, locked the door and went and
dropped to her knees beside Ruth.
Oh! Ruth, pray for me, too!" she
sobbod wildly. "Forgive me if you
can, I have wronged you!"
With their arms around each other,
Ruth heard Eva White's confession.
Tho package of suppressed letters
there were eight of them in Barry's
bold writing all unopened, besides
tho single letter Ruth had sent to
him.
And the letters! Ruth read them
with streaming eyes. Barry had been
faithful. His parents would welcome
her with open arms. Barry now be
lieved Ruth to have been the faithless
one. She had returned his ring and
he had never received a letter from
ber.
While they talked. Mrs. Fielding
brought the smiling bridegroom to
See bis bride and in their presence
Eva White repeated her amazing con
fession.
Fifteen minutes later, Dan Wales,
white and grim looking, went down
and dismissed the wedding guests and
the astonished minister.
"Indefinitely postponed," he told
them all. When he was alone he
went to the telephone and called Barry
Lane on the long distance wire.
In Seaport they still talk about that
Juno day. They tell about the mar
riage in the Fielding house, and add
that Barry Lane was the happy
bridegroom, while Dan Wales was best
man and Eva White was the bride's
attendant
In the end Dan married Eva White,
and out of the sin and pride and pain
of that bitter year came quiet happi

It Is to Be Found in the Practice of
Saving Some Part of One's
Earnings.
There is an Injurious Idea prevalent
among young Americans that pru
dence, economy, caution and frugality
are among the mean qualities, and this
accounts largely for the meretricious
pride of spending time and money,
ust as It partly explains the popular
ity of so many amiable wastrels. A
good fellow" may be not a self con
demned fool, but he cannot discredit
the truism that a fool and bis money
are soon parted, says the. Minneapolis
Journal.
Many of what we have come to call
wants" are desires of the imagina
tion, or of vanity or of self indulgence.
We have drifted Into a confusion ot
the meaning and value of happiness as
contrasted with pleasure, and are
prone to accept ostentation in lieu of
the fact and substance of thrift The
ways of thrift are different from the
ways of parsimony.
There is an admirable quality of dig
nity and simplicity about the frugal
but adequate way of living, that em
phasizes the vulgarity ot extravagance
and the childish Tolly of pretended
opulence. There is a savor of gentility
about the practice of saving part ot
one's earnings that leads to its own
quiet romance, and life Itself takes on
calmer, cleaner, sweeter value If w
conserve and cherish at least a por
tion of its dally offerings.
Sensibly regarded, there is nothing
sordid about the habtt of frugality;
but there is a Squalor and a slovenli
ness about the wastage of time and
the squandering of money that Is as
unromantlo as any phase of the
thoughtlessly selfish living. And thure
Is, too, a gently humanizing influence
about the habit of saving that makes
for modesty, industry and sympathy
those quiet homely agencies that go
furthest to stabilize and sweeten life.

Writer's Tribute to the Tree Is Worthy
of Remembrance Throughout
the Ages.
Oh! Don Peplno, old trees in their
living state are the only things that
money cannot command. Rivers leave
their beds, run into cities and traverse
mountains for it; obelisks and arches,
palaces and temples, amphitheaters
and pyramids rise up like exhalations
at Its bidding; even the free spirit of
man, the only thing great on earth, j
crouches and cowers in Its presence
it passes away and vanishes before
venerable trees. . . . How many fond
and how many lively thoughts have
been nurtured under this tree! how
many kind hearts have beaten here! Its
branches are not so numerous as the
couples they have invited to sit beside
it nor its blossoms and leaves together
as the expressions oi tenderness it
has witnessed. What appeals to tho
pure, all-seeing heavens! what simil
itudes to the everlasting mountains 1
what protestations ot eternal truth
and constancy! from those who are
now earth; they and their shrouds
and their coffins. The caper and fig
tree have split their monuments, and
boys have broken the hazel nut with
the fragments. Emblems of past lives
and future hopes, severed names which
holiest rites united, broken letters of
brief happiness, bestrew the road and
