When It pets m hot os blazes
Then thy cooltn t virtues shin*
When June comes with torrid breeio*.
Thou thine acid sweetness pleases.
More refreshing far than win*
Then thy flavor so delicious,

A JBUKUEil LEAD.
There were only three people In
the room besides the whist players;
the old gentleman who sat in the cor
ner of the room and was always read
ing, and Julia McCullough and young
Stevens, who were in another corner,
half shielded by the Japanese screen.
Of the card players one was old
Mr. McCullough, to whom whist was
the business of life. A second was
old Mrs. McCullough, who played
excellently, but never could be utterly
deaf to the claims of the outside
world. The third was Mr. Richmond,
a successful lawyer, sdmething over
50, with closely-cut, iron-gray hair,
quick, keen eyes, a manner which
very likely had been nervous, but
was now only incisive, and an utterly
absorbed attention to the matter in
hand. People said Richmond had
had a disappointment in love, which
had kept him a bachelor and perhaps
encouraged the habit of absorption—
a fact wHlch caused Julia McCullough
and young Steveus to regard him with
deep and respectful sympathy. Tho
fourth player was old Mr. McCul
lough’s partner, and just at present
she groped under such a cloud of
disapproval that it would have been
a relief to have escaped notice alto
gether. She was a silent, smooth,
unassertive, unmarried woman, whose ,
game Mr. McCullough had trained,
trimmed and pruned in season and
out of season until, as a matter of
self-preservation, she had learned to
play better than ho.
Rut it was owihg to her that Mr.
McCullough now fidgeted in his chair
and glared at a nine-spot as if each
club on its surface were a weapon of
assassination. It was but 8 o'clock
In the evening, and she was playing
only till the stage came to take her
to the train on which she was to
leave—break up'the game and leave.
No wonder Mr. McCullough was
almost speechless with rage. No
wonder that Mrs. McCullough fatally
wandered, so that she mistook a
knave for a king and pulled in her
opponent’s trick. Even Mr. Rich
mond, who scarcely knew how Miss
Selwyn looked, so rarely he raised
his eyes from the table, felt that her
conduct was injurious.
“May I be permitted to inquire,
Charlotte,” asked Mr. McCullough
in an awful voice, “since when a
knave has been advanced to the dis
tinction of taking a king of the same
suit?”
“Gracious!” admitted Mrs. Mo
Cullough, pushing the card to Miss
Welwyn, who was so crowded by the
universal disapproval that she re
ceived them as a free gift.
“Of eourse it is impossible to be
even decently attentive in the midst
of such willful disturbance,” re
marked Mr. McCullough.
“If it were not a case of illness,’*—
began Miss Selwyn, agologetically.
“People have no business to be
ill,” snapped Mr. McCullougb.
“Do you suppose Susan will be able
to get there, too?” asked Mrs. Mc
Cullough.
“I hopo so,” returned Miss Selwyn.
“Come, come, Charlotte!” ex
claimed Mr. McCullough; “for heav
en’s sake, let us play while we can!”
Julia McCullough and young Ste
vens were talking in low tones be
hind the screen.
“Did you really pin it up?” asked
Julia, with apprehensive pleasure.
“I really did,” returned young
Stevens, “in the hall. I knew how
strained the situation would be to
night, and as it is my last evening I
wanted it to be peaceful. They
might have asked one of us to take a
Viunrl
“I wouldn’t have done it,” said
Julia, firmly.
‘•Yes you would, you poor lamb, or
I would have taken your place and
lost my temper. lean get along
with your uncle anywhere but at the
whist-table.”
One of the hotel servants came to
the door—the stage was leaving.
Miss Selwyn rose, looking ready to
cry. The cards had just been dealt
“I am very sorry,” she said.
“Sorry!” growled Mr. McCullough;
••wemuy have to play withadummy!”
“There isn’t a soul in the house
that can play,” sighed Mrs. McCul
lough. Richmond rose to go with
Miss Welwyn to the door.
He put her in the carriage and re
turned, Not a word had been spoken.
He walked restlessly to a -bookcase
and read the titles. The old man in
the corner buried himself deeper in
his'pages; the young girl and her
companion became more involved in
winding worsted. Mrs. McCullough
sorted her hfind mechanically. Mr.
McCullough drummed 'on the table
and looked ready to burst with raga
It was as if nature were preparing
for a cataclysm.
Suddenly they all, except the
reader, looked up. A woman stood
In the doorway—fine-looking, though
not a young woman. Her gray hair
rose straight from her handsome
forehead; her clear complexion was
a little flushed, but she spoke with
perfect self-possession.
“I saw the notice pinned up in the
hall,” Bhe said. “I am a good whist
player. Would you like to have me
make up the hand?”
Young Stevhens rose with a side
glance at Julia, who looked a little
scared.
••Pinned up In the hall?” repeated
old Mr. McCullough, doubtfully.
“Yos," she said distinctly, with a
swift glance that took in all tho
occupants of tho room; “tho notice
saying that there were three whist
players in the ea9t card-room who
wanted a fourth at a quarter past
eight Only good players need
apply.”
Richmond glanced at the young
man with a certain severity, behind
which was a gleam of amusement,
and came toward the card table.
“1”—began young Stevens; but it
was old .Mra McCollough who settled
the matter.
“Well,” she interrupted, "do come
and sit down. I'm sure I don't know
how you got here, but we're glad
enough to see you. I’ll play with
Mr. McCullough because I am used
to him. You can play with my part
ner.”
“We’re wasting a lot of precious
time," said Mr. MoCullough, and tho
handsome woman eame forward from
the doorway and picked up tho cards
that lay at hor place.
Richmond seatod himself opposite,
and for ten minutes not a word was
spoken. She did play well —one of
those intelligent, pliable games which
show science, memory and compre
hension. Richmond was delighted
with her. If at a critical point he
planned a brilliant stroke, she caught
his intention Instantly and co-oper
ated. He was not curious about her
personally; he had barely looked at
her; she was simply his skillful com
rade. It was her deal, and as she
picked up the cards she shuffled them
once. Richmond’s eyes wore on her
fingers, and he started a little. Sho
mixed the cards by an odd bit of
manipulation. He had never seen
but one other person do it The next
time he watchod her; then he glanced
from her fingers to hor face in sudden,
sharp inquiry. Her eyes were on his;
they wore a look that might have
been triumph. Tho game went on.
The low tones of the young people
were almost whispers.
“If you had that ace you were a
long time playing it, Charlotte,” said
Mr. McCullough, at the endof a hand.
“One doesn’t win by being in a
hurry,” she answered, easily.
“No," said the stranger, speaking
for almost the first time, ‘“one does
not”
The words were simple,' but to
Richmond’s ear they were emphatic.
He looked at hor with a certain air
of suspense, and again she met his
look. Another hand was played.
“You did it that time.” said Rich
mond, at the end of it, as he scored
throe tricks.
“Yes,” said she,smiling, “I thought
it was time I took matters into my
own hands.”
He turned a little pale, and dealt
the cards with his eyes on her face.
The evening slipped on; the game
was close and interesting.
“That play of yours was an unusual
one,” said Richmond, “but success
ful.”.
“Yes,” she answered, slowly; “I
broke all the rules to do it It was a
forced lead,, but there seomed nothing
else to do.”
There were bright red spots in her
cheeks and she held her handsome
head very high as she spoke. He
laid down the cards as if to stop
playinsr; then—
" “It saved the game,” he said con
cisely, as he picked them up again.
“I thought you had that queen,
Charlotte,” said Mr. McCullough m
ireful reproach, “from the way you
played before.”
“It is dangerous to draw infer
ences,” said Richmond quickly, look
ing across the table.
“Not usually,” she answered light
ly, “if one knows one’s partner.”
At 10 o’clock Richmond, instead
of taking up the hand she had just
dealt him, put both his arms on the
table and leaned across it Mrs. Mc
Cullough looked as if the skies would
fall, and Mr. McCullough said:
“Come! Como!” Richmond heeded
neither of them.
“Will you tell me why you played
as you did!”’ he asked with sudden
sternness. His partner looked at
him and her eyes fell for a moment
Then, with her first full composure,
she answered:
‘tit has taken 'me a Ion? time to
return your lead; but I found, soon
enough, that it is from what is my
strongest suit as well ”
“Come, come!1’ said Mr. Mc
Cullough; “a great deal of talk
about a hand that is past and gone.
Tick up your cards, man!”
Instead of doing bo Richmond stood
up. The young people stopped talk
ing. and even the reading old man
laid down his book.
“Is your name still Frances Effing
ham!" be asked.
“Yes,” 6he said, rising toa
“Hove you come back to mo!"
“Yos,” she (aid again.
“I have waited a long time,” he
went on.
“Yes.” There was a pause.
“Will you come with me into the
parlor across the hall and let me
speak to you?”
She bowed, and tossing down her
cards she passed but of the room and
he followed her.
If Mrs. McCullough had ever al
lowed profanity in her presence she
might have had to listen to it then.
For several moments Mr. McCul
lough found nothing appropriate in
his volcabulary.
“Are we never going to have a de
cent game of whist!” hb thundered
at last.—Storiettes.

Woman Everywhere*
I have found among- all nations, says
Ledyard, that the women adorn them
selves more than the merj; that, wher
ever found, the same kind, civil, oblig
ing, humane, tender beings, that they
are inclined to be gay and cheerful,
timorous and modest. They do not
hesitate, like man. to perform a hos
pitable, generous action; nor are they
haughty, arrogant or supercilious; but
full of courtesy and fond of society; in
dustrious, economical, ingenious; more
liable in general to err than man, but
in general more virtuous and perform
ing more good actions than he. I never
addressed myself in the language of de
cency and friendship to a woman,
whether civilized or savage, without
receiving a decent and friendly answer.
With man it has often been otherwise.
In wandering over the barren plains of
Denmark, through honest Sweden,
frozen Lapland and churlish Finland,
unprincipled Russia and the wide
spread regions of the wondering Tartar
—if hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick,
woman has ever been friendly to me,
uniformly so; and to add to this virtue,
so worthy of the appellation of benevo
lence, these actions have been per
formed in so free and kind a manner
that if 1 was dry 1 drank the sweet
draught, and if hungry ate the coarse
morsel, with double relish.
A Typical Englishman.
A Mr. Klrkbell who had never been
out of England until he went to Vienna,
seems to have been a typical Briton
and stubbornly insular to the extent of
refusing to alter the time of his watch
as he traveled eastward from England.
No argument would induce him to
budge, and when at Vienna he had
risen at unearthly hours and perambu
lated about the city alone, having per
sisted intbeing guided by his watch,
stoutly asserted that thed-d foreign
clocks were all wrong. Kirkbell was
very anxious, also, to keep a record of
all the places he visited, and was
always jotting down in his pocketbook
the names of the various stations where
he had stopped or passed. “How curi
ous it is that there are so many stations
of the same name,” he once remarked
to a fellow passenger, who replied that
he had not observed it Kirkbell then
showed his record to prove that he was
right; and, sure enough, over and over
airain occurred the word “Ausgang,”
which he had confidently entered as
the name of many stations on the
route.—Argonaut
Mot to be Improved*.
This pretty story is told of a distin
guished lawyer. He and his wife were
at a social gathering, where the ques
tion was discussed: “Who would you
rather be if you were not yourself?”
His wife asked him for his reply to
the question. j ,.r
He answered promptly. “Tbur sec

Properties of Pineapple.
A housewife who is fond of experi
menting made one day a delicous snow
pudding, flavored with preserved pine
apple. It was served with a custard
sauce, also flavored with the pineapple,
the solid part of the preserves being
used for the pudding and the syrup for
the sauce. The pudding wns a great
success; and, thinking to make it more
delicious, the next time the pudding
was made, fresh, uncooked pineapple
was used, and the pudding, which is a
preparation of gelatine, whites of eggs,
and sugar, well beaten until stiff und
set away in a mould to harden. The
housewife, feeling sure of a dainty des
sert, waited with pride for the sweet
course of her dinner, liut alas, when
it came to her table it was a thin wa
tery liquid, with bits of pineapple float
ing in it; pleasant enough to the taste,
but hardly a delight to the eye. Noone
could explain the mystery of the disap
pearance of the gelatine until a scien
tific cook explained that chemists had
recently discovered that pineapple had
a wonderful digestive power, and that
it had probably consumed the gelatine.
The principle discovered has lately
been applied to a new preparation of
beef extract to be used for beef tea,
sauces, and soup3. Its superiority to
other extracts is based on the fact that
not only the extract of beef, but the
solid meat fiber are a part of it, being
made soluble by a pineapple ferment
A Granite Camel.
One of the most curious rock forma
tions in the world is to be seen in Ari
zona. It is a short distance east of the
stage road between Tucson and Oracle
and stands on a knoll several feet above
the surrounding sand hills. It is a
most perfect representation of a camel
and is formed of one piece of granite.
It is about sixty feet high and is very
white and smooth. There are very few
fissures on the surface, and they
strangely are in the proper place to
form features. The only real projec
tion from the surface is exactly placed
for an eyebrow. The two bumps are
plainly to be seen, and the neck is
curved beautifully.
Mature Demand* a Tonic.
We ought never to forget, even those of us
who possess vigorous health, that we are
wearing out—that the vital clock work, so to
speak, must eventually run down. This, of
course, we cannot prevent, because It Is In
the ordinary course of nature, but we may
retard the too speedy arrival of decay by the
use of an lnvigorant which tukes rank of
every other—namely, Hostetler’s Htomach
Bitters. This century has not Witnessed a
parallel In success to tills famous medicine,
which not only sustains health by promoting
vigor, but overcomes const i pat foil, dyspep*
sla, chills and fever, nervousness, rheuma
tism and other disordered conditions of the
system fostered by weakness and an impov
erished Condition of tile blood The feehlc,
persons convalescing after exhausting dis
ease, and the aged, derive infinite benefit
from the use of this helpful and efficient
tonic.
Redrafting Wild rium Tree*.
There are thousands of wild plum j
trees as well as the wildings of cultiva- '
ted sorts that are no use what ever as !
they are. These should be redrafted
with the best and most productive cul- i
tivated varieties. There is a. common '
idea that plum trees must be grafted
very early in order to succeed. The
buds start very early, and it is little
use to try to make a swollen bud grow.
But if the bud has been held lad that
is to be set, the swelling of buds on
the tree will not affect it.
