'"No." said Mary, ironically; "I wouldn't let that worry me, since it cannot le over the or seven years at most." Tom whistled softly. "Make it a year. Mary: it can not be more than that, surely." "You had better wi and dres: you will be late," said Mary, crossly. "She is every bit as old as I." "That may le true." replied Tom, "but no one in the world would dream that von were more than a vear older than "I." Happy remark! Mary kissed him. arid peace feitie.I oilce aain.

"I irot at one place and 'circumstances oor which I had m control and all that, prevented me from carrying out my original plans!" All the time lie was speaking his sister and mother were hovering near, and re;;:irlinii him somewhat suspi ciously, it must be confessed. He noticed it. too. for he looked up all at once and said. "Sit down, and I will tell you about my call." "Wouldn't ou like some lemon and hot water?" ventured Mary. who prided herself on heinjr quite advanced. Tom looked at her quite curiously, and shook his head. There seemed to be nothing to do hut to sit down and listen to his try. "You see." hejrati he. "when I left the house I went out to meet lick and the other fellows, and we were roin; to take a carriage after we all ot to gether.

Then I asked her where she lived, and she told me. Iate as it was I went out there, for I knew they must be worried to death over her. It was an awful place. Awful! The father lay drunk in the corner of the room, where he had fallen, and the mother was put ting a siek baby to sleep for perhaps the fiftieth time that night, and when I told her little Mary was safe she threw her arms around my neck and hurst out crying, while the poor, scrawny little baby stopped from sheer wonderment and was nearly dropped to the floor in her excitement. "Then I came home,' said Tom, "and here I am. I'm hungry, too. Mary there, dear, don't cry yes, of course we will help them out; and you will forgive me for not calliug, now, will you not? "Yes, Tom; and rou will fonrive me for thinking you had drank too much champagne? "Oh, yes," said Tom, "for I probably would have, if I had done my list in stead of the one I had not counted on. I met Dick and the fellows singing as 1 came up, and the driver didn t seem to have any acquaintance with the horses he was driving. Well, if 1 can have just a bite of something I'll go to bed." And he kissed his mother and sister, and smiled. "Well, said Mary the next morn ing, "I'm glad we only had coffee and lemonade to drink, and I must go and see that little Mary now. Will you come, mother? I'll order the carriage at once if you will." "Yes," said Mrs. llarkins, 'I will come." A. Y. Press. HERE'S A WARNING TO MOTHERS. Too Much UnseWnhnens Likely to Make Vour Children Selfish. There is too much of her in the home. She may be the patient, self sacrificing mother who gets overtired that others may go free; she may be an elder sister who has sacrificed all the graces and gifts of individual life to a family of younger brothers and sisters. Perhaps she is a iaiden aunt who smooths the way with anxious eager ness for everybody's feet but her own or a grandmother w hose burdens mul tiply with the coming of the second generation because the young mother has not learned the secret of living her life independently. Whatever emergency of life may have called out her unselfishness, there it is, and. as I said before, there is altogether too much of it. Why? Because there is such a thing as an unselfishness that passes beyond its proper bounds and becomes mean-spirited. It lays aside that proper recognition of self w hich commands respect, and which is wholly necessary for individ ual well being. That the mother should be the head, the brains of her family, what is more littinjr? That she .-hou hi be hands and feet, that she should serve before them like a hired assistant, a thousand times no! Thcae unselfish women, in their anxiety to exemplify the golden rule, ejtiite forget that self, after all. under lies its measure of values. If a great many women treated their neighbors no better than tliey treated themselves this would be a sad world for neigh borliness. And this unselfishness is sure to work mischief in a family , too. For unself ishness is unlike most other virtues, in that it breeds its opposites. not its own kind. In a family where the wife, or the mot ln-r, or the elder daughter, is anx iously unselfish; where she watches every opportunity to do for the other members of the family what there is every good reason they should do for themselves, these others learn quickly enough first to accept it. then to as suitieit. and finally to demand it. And so there comes out of the home of the unselfish woman a flock of care less, self-seeking children, intent on themselves, criminally heedless of ev erybody else, trampling on the rights !' others, and having to unlearn, per haps late in life, the selfish lessons they learned at their unsellih mother's knee. I'arely is it that the lesson is learned as it should be. and so is kept up the army of selfish men and women who make half the burden and unhappi ness of living. Swallowed a Horse. The liev. Dr. I'. W. Parker, a re spected preacher of Bremen, ('a., is authority for the following tale, ac cording to the Atlanta Constitution. "Dr. I. X. Chancy used to practice medicine in t'arrollton. He now keeps a hotel in Bremen'.' He went to Car-l-olltoii the other day in his buggy, and while there traded an old debt for a good horse, ami started out for Boston in his buggy-, leading his new horse. When he was Hearing the Little Talla-Ko-a river bridge at Kingsberry's mill he suddenly heard a roaring among the trees which he supposed to be a -torni. Looking up the hill he saw t in- t'iie-t in commotion and the tree-, falling and bending toward him. and in the mid-t of ii a huge body which proved to be a snake. The doc tor put the whip to bus horse and was quickly on the bridge. Keeling the buggy jerk he looked and saw the saake -wallow the horse he was lead ing and piiingc into the rier just aboe the bridge, and as the snake poked his head out on the other bank of the stream, his tail still upon the side of the hill, hi- body reached clear across the rier. The hoi-e. having on new -hoes, kicked through the stomach of the snake, and the -nake slopped and the -I ream wa- dammed, and the water rose and floated the .-nake to a h'cl with the bridge. The doctor jumped out of the buggy, took out a big knife, and cutting the hole larger where the horse's feet were -ticking out t the snake"- body, the hor-e llounced out and mounted the bridge. The doctor secured him to hi- bungs and drove on. but by this time the water liad tiacked till the hor-e had to swim the low ground, hut they ii.ade their escape. JUST IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST. Italy's Klnr Acknowledjrea Ills Hlitak In a Dispute with a feasant. The good nature of Italy's king is wen illustrated oy an anecdote from the days of the last royal hunts at Munza. King Humbert is accustomed to take his sjort with the gun in pretty much tlie same clothes as other per sons and without attendants, thereby distinguishing Himself from his imp rial German ally, who ha insignia of his high olliceall over his hunting cos tume and is accompanied usually on the chase by noblemen and flunkeys Shortly before the end of his last season the king's hou ml started a hare about two miles from Monza, and the king lired. At the same instant an other shot was heard, and an Italian peasant with an old-fashioned gun and a mongrel dog hurried up from the opposite direction, l lie peasant mis took the simply yet elegantly clad sportsman who disputed his osscssion of the hare for a Roman dude, and caught up the royal arm stretched toward the dead game? There was a hot discussion, which ended in the triumph of the king's superior logic and his taking off the hare. At the royal castle the king gave the hare to the servants that they migtit prepare it for his supper, and stood by as they dressed it for the pan. When the entrails were removed the bullet that caused the animal's death was found. It was of the old style for a gun of the pattern of fifty years ago. The king looked at it, and at once sent out a messenger to summon to the cas tle the peasant w ho had disputed the possession of the hare. When the old man was led into the king's presence the latter stretched to him loth hands, and said: "My dear man, 1 have just discov ered my mistake. The hare belongs to you. As it is already roasting, however, I can do no more than to ask you to help me eat it." The peasant sat at the king's right hand at dinner that evening and, al though high society spoiled his appe tite, he jingled his wine glass against that of his sovereign, and rode home, considerably exhilarated, in the royal carriage. DICNITY OF THE SEX. Chicago Hod Carrier Drew the Line Ilelng Put in Order by a Woman. One of the hod carriers at work on a brick building out in the suburbs climbed up to tlie tirst story Thursday. Then he fell, and the hod, the "bricks, and the ladder fell on him. When the debris had been pulled away the hod carrier was lying face downward on the pavement stone senseless. There wasn't a a drug store or a doctor with in half a mile. A bricklayer put on his coat and tore for the nearest patrol box. Meantime the hod carrier was lying there in a mess of blood. a( parently thinking about nothing in particular. The boss was fuming about, kicking blocks of wood into the street, and swearing at the laziness of the police. The big plasterers, w ho could drive a spike with their lists, were standing around as helpless as children. At this time a young woman in a blue coat came across the street. She was pretty and rosy, with a lot of yellow hair drawn up tightly from her tem ples, and she had a most decided look in her lue ey es. She brushed the big fellows aside and asked briskly: "What's the troulflc here, men?" "One of the boys has busted him self wide open." said the boss politely. "Let me see," said the pretty girl, dropping on her knees beside the hod carrier. She took off a dainty kid glove, and with her little white hand felt the man's skull. "No bones fractured here," she said, looking up at the group around her. Then she noticed the pool of blood lying buside the man's right arm, and whipping out a pair of scissors she rip ped up the coat sleeve and the sleeve of the flannel shirt. "Goodness!" she said. "An artery has been cut. Give me a piece of twine, quick." The boss pulled a piece of coarse string from his coat pocket and hand ed it to the girl. She drew it around the man's arm. made a loop knot, thrust a pencil into the loop and twisted it until the cord sank deep in to the flesh. "You hold this," she said to the boss, and the big man knelt down and grab bed the ligature. Then siie had some water brought. She washed the scalp wound in a jiffy. Then she cut among the loose flesh with the scissors and with plaster anil a strip of linen from the same preposterous bag she made a neat bandage. Then she arose and viewed a pretty job of emergency surgerv with reasonable complacency; The patrol wagon and the hod carrier came around at the same time. As the wagon backed up the hod carrier opened his eyes and saw the girl in the blue cloak. "Are you hurt. Mike?" said the boss. "Naw." said the carrier. "Take me somewhere that I can get a doctor. I don't want no ilom women monkevin's 'round me!" T'ic girl doctor in blue looked at him ejui..ing!v and laughed as slie washed his gore from her hands in the bucket of waler. f 'hirago Jlcruld.
