WHfcN HE PROPOSED. THE OLD IIILLACRE HOMESTEAD 8 WHY, It's red! Aunt Melzena Perfect! HY, It's rediklis!" declared ena Mellen. ;ly owdaclous!" freed Uncle Simeon. "Does the gal expect to live on grass an' yarbs. like (be cow-brutes?" grum bled Coiioin tildcon. . "She better of took the five hundred dollars Squire Stafford offered her," aid Uncle Simeon, sagely. 'It's more'n the ole place is wtuh. half rocks, an' the rest'growed up with mullein stalks in' hourbouu' an' wild chamomile." And so the chorus went on among the Mellen and Hiliaere relations, far and near, and all because Mollie Hill acre, self-willed girl refused to part with the old homestead and its twenty acres of sterile soil, which had be come hers on the death of Grandpa Iliilacre, some few mouths previous. Among all the clan there was no one to take Moiiie's side of the question but old Uncle Dabney Mellen, who oc cupied the adjoining farm. Mollie ain't nobody's fool, I kin tell ye," he would say, nodding his head wisely. "An' ef she hangs onter the old homestead she'll make it pay, one way or auuther. or my name ain't Dab- npy Mellen." But the other relatives only shook their heads forebodingly and declared that "a willful woman must have her own way," and they washed their hands of her entirely. "As she makes her bed, so she must lay in it," declared Uncle Simeon, trite ly. "An' If she comes' to grief she needn't spect us to help her out" . "Of course not," echoed the rest But still Mollie persisted in "taking her own head," In spite of their predic tions and prognostications. . Even Steve Kimble, Moiiie's af fianced lover, sided against her. He was a distant cousin on the Mellen side. "What could we ever do here, Mol lie?" he argued. "I couldn't make a livin' on this old worn-out ground! "Tain't fit fur nothin' but black-eyed peas. Why, it wouldn't grow a bushel o' wheat to the acre! An' look at the ole sheep pastur'. The' ain't skeersely a blade o' grass on It all summer. But If we had the five hundred dollars I could set up a store at the crossroads, an' we'd soon be a glttin' rich." "But I love the old place, Steve," persisted Mollie. . "I wag bora here, you know, and" "Shuck! What If you was?" Inter rupted 8teve, Impatlontly. "Well, you kin have your choice, Mollie. If you think more o' the ole place than you do 'of me, why, keep It But fon can't have both, that's all." . "Steve," cried Mollie, "do you mean ltr ! "Tea," returned Steve, sullenly, "I do mean It" "There's your ring, then," said Mol lie, quietly, "and good evening." And she walked proudly up the grass-grown walk to the house, while Steve slung himself angrily away. Here was fresh food for the gossips, for the news of Moiiie's broken en gagement soon spread abroad, and the tongues wagged and heads were shak en more than ever. But Mollie paid no heed to their fauliiinding. "I. must contrive some way to make a living," she told herself, "and why not try keeping boarders? If the place is worth five hundred dollars to Squire Stafford, It's worth that much to me. The old house has rooms enough to quarter a regiment, nearly, ajid. If the furniture is old-fashioned, it's well pre served, snd I inust make It do. I think I can get grandpa's old house keeper, Mrs. Hall, to stay and help me. as she has not made any engage ment yet And now for ways and mpuiiri. The ntaep is rock v. and worn out, to be sure, but I'll have the old stable torn away it's ready to tumble down anyway and take that place for my garden, and a shed will do for the cow. I tsn rai.sp vegetables enough, with a little outside help, to pay for niOMt of my groceries, and the old or chard and the berry patch, trimmed up a little, will bring quite a crop of fruit." And having laid her plans, like n skillful general, Mollie went to work with a will. Mrs. Hull's services were soon se cured, aud the old house put into "ap ple pie" order. ' Tin wiidows were scoured, curtains taken down, washed and Ironed, and put tip again. Carpets were taken up, cleaned, and put down again. - The old-fashioned, ponderous furnl ture'was rubbed with turpentine till you could s"6 yourself la the tall bed posts and chair backs, and the mirrors and bras fire irons were polished till they shone again. Uncle Dnbny Mellen, with his hired baud, cts ud pulled down the rlek ty .stable, ehopiwd up the old logs Into firewood, and plowed and har rowed the gnvdi ii. IChiilc helping Mol lie to plant it. And win n nil was ready a few judi cious advertisements brought Mollie the reqillMte number of boarders. There were Mr. and Mrs. Bmythe, n wealthy ltlrly couple, who were farmed will) the big rooms,, the old fashioned, elu wicked tables and lalr, t)w vine-hung porches and Wandas and Hie wholesome country tort. I1OT was .hit. rniwiMi, a guuig Vtw. who went Into rapture oter ,C fcMVtKal rlcw of created hill lop V and shadowy valleys, bounded by the far, blue-tinted horizon. And there was Miss Tufton, a good natured, placid-faced maiden lady, who was quietly content with everything about her. Besides those already mentioned, Moiiie's boarders numbered a sallow faced young gentleman, who had sought the country In quest of health, and a brisk, wide-awake geologist Pro fessor Tallman, whose chief delight and occupation was in gathering "specimens." The garden throve luxuriantly, and onee a week Mollie took her early peas and cucumbers, mountain sweet corn aud young cauliaowers to the neigh boring village of Sweet-briar, where she readily disposed of them, bring ing back their value in coffee, tea, sugar, and other necessary eommodi- tlt-M. Uncle Dabney's horse and wagon were always at Moiiie's service on Sat urdays to convey, herself and her "truck" to market, which proved quite a convenience to the young house bolder. The old orchard, too, which bad been well trimmed and eared for, showed its gratitude by producing quite a crop of Harvest Sweetings aud lied Astra chans. affording Mrs. Hull ample means for the exercise of her culinary skill In the construction of luxurious "pan-dowdies," apple cobblersand the like, while the miik from "Buttercup," the Little Jersey cow, furnished butter for the table and cream for the tea and for the big bowl of raspberries or blackberries which figured daily at the evening meal. But while affairs continued to go swimmingly for Mollie, the croakers found fresh cause for gossip in that very fact. "They live mighty fine, an' set a tip top table," admitted Aunt Mlzena, who had been "spending the day" at the old homestead. "But I dunno how Mollie works It I'm feared hhe goes In debt fur all them niek-nax." But Mollie was too smart a girl to go in debt and. if she did not lay up much, she paid her way as she went "Mi.ss Mollie," said the professor one day, taking a seat on the porch beside Mollie, who was scraping carrots for dinner, "what do you think these are?" Mollie gave a cursor- glance at the rough-looking bits held out to her. The professor was always exhibiting "specimens" of one kind or another. "I should say they were rocks," re turned Mollie, In true Western dialect "Exactly," smiled the professor. "But what kind of rocks?" "I don't know," was the answer. "I don't know one kind of rock from an other." "So I thought" returned the profes sor, gravely. "If you did, you would not be keeping boarders for a living." Mollie looked up in surprise. "Why?" she asked, with some curi osity. "What have rocks to do with my keeping boarders?" "Just this," was the answer. "This bit of white rock here I chipped off a ledge in the old sheep pasture, on the hillside. And to the best of my knowl edge and belief, that ledge is magne sian limestone, a superior k'nd of build ing stone which is in great demand. This other bit Is of a different kind of rock, but quite valuable also, and is used for door and window sillR. It Is worth forty cents a square foot, and there is no doubt but what It exists In abundance on your farm. But If the other proves to be really magnesia n Mmcstone. you" could sell out to-morrow for len thousand dollars, Miss Moiiie:" "0, Professor Tallman! But how but how should I go to work t-t Cud out?" asked Mollie, clasping her hands excitedly. " "Leave it to me," said the professor, kindly. "I am going to the city to morrow on business, and I will dike these bits of 'rock' and exhibit them to the proper authorities. Then. Mit-s Mollie, you can either lease or sell your property to good advantage." "I shall not s-11." declared Mollie. "if I can help It." In due time the professor returned. The specimen he had exhibited proved to be niagneslan limestone, and two business men aceompa nl-d him to in spect the ledge. Before they left Mollie was offer,.,! a good price for l;er farm, or one thou sand dollars a year and a certain share in the profits of the quarry. She accepted the latter offer, and sdji the sound of hammer and drill was. heard In the once despised sheep pasture. The news was n nine days' wonder among the neighbors. "As rocky as the Hillacre farm" bad been a byword In that locality for years, and now to think those self name rocks were to be coined iulo ooney before their very ryea! The nstonMied relatives flocked to 'k' old hnnfutad to congratulate Mol- on her gind f'1: ; t;iie. Styvu Kftr hie was one of the firt t put (II HI) appeal iifiep. "You was right lit hold lit onto the Id place. Moil!", after nil," be dc lared, raditiniiy. "Atid-and, of cum-, you didn't think I meant to break olf with you, fur good and all, Mollie?" "Indeed:" answered Motile, With fl smile. , "Of course not'.' I only wanted to fry you, an' S4e If you wouldn't give in to mjr wry o'thlukin'. -But It's luck yon didn't, after what's happened. And say, Mollie, when shall the weddia be?" Bat Mollie drew herself up with s show of spirit as she retorted, coolly: "I don't know when your wedding will be, Mr. Kimble, but mine is to be the 1st of September. I've been en gaged to Professor Tallman for two months." And there was nothing for the disap pointed Steve to do but hastily to take himself off. Before Moiiie's boarders left. In Sep tember, there was a merry wedding at the old homestead, to which all her rel atives were Invited; but. the roost hon ored among the guests was Uncle Dab ney Mellen, his genial face aglow with good-natured triumph. "I said our Mollie wasn't nobody's fool," be asserted, produly. "An" I reckon she's proved it" And nobody felt disposed to dispute the assertion. The Housewife. PUCK'S MODERN COOKBOOK.

H., is said during the last year to have carried over $300 worth of farm produce to the stores of Boscawen and Penaeock, $400 worth of which she raised on her own farm, doing the work almost wholly herself. Last sum mer she loaded aud stowed away forty loads of hay. She raised 100 bushels of corn, cutting most of it up and husking all of it; also raised eighty five bushels of potatoes, digging most of them herself and putting them into the cellar. Last fall she picked 200 bushels of apples. Fho did all the work in her gM P n, and had four cart loads of veget:i s. She drove to Pen acock once a week, missing but four weeks during the year, and all through last spring and since last September she has driven to Franklin twice a week to carry her 10-year-old son Ceorge to the Franklin High School. In addition to all this work, she has performed the household duties In a family of five, continues the Woman's Home Journal. When New Hampshire women can do farming in this ener getic way, it is no wonder that In 103 granges of that State a majority of ths members have recorded themselves in favor of female suffrage. Yet the op ponents of equal rights for women will no doubt assure the public that the New Hampshire woman would be crushed urnlcr the bnrden of a ballot I'at'a Plea. The victory is not necessarily to the wordy. Home three years ago there was a strike of ore-handlers hi one of the lake towns, and two gentleman, one of whom was L. C. I lamia, brother of Senator liaiiua, undertook to per siiid" the men to return to work. They got on very well ehielly by compro mise with all except the engineers, says the New York Lvenlng Post. Finally a merchant of the town was mutually agreed uihiu n arbitrator, and H w;is arranged that both sides should argue before him the question of n ri increase In wages. Mr. Hanna represented t'.e employer, w hile an en gineer P:it Ityan, spoke for his fel lows. Mr. Hanna made a long, elab orate argument, covering till the points he expected his opponent to raise. When he finished Put got up. "Misdher Ilef'iee," said he, "th' byes wanH th' raise!" Then he sat down.

As Mr. Blinks paced to and fro with in the limits of his 8x10 chamber, It Would have been evident to the most Casual observer that the miud of the foung man was greatly perturbed. Upon his broad forehead the finger of anxiety had traced a wrinkle and his abundant hair was disheveled where his hands bad grappled It In the stress f the problem he faced. As be paced the floor he occasionally muttered to himself, but the muttering seemj de void of meaning. - At-last be chanced to observe his own reflection in the mirror on the dresser and, pausing in front of It he addressed his imaged telf: "You are a nice party, you are! A nice apolngy for nothing In particular! You are six feet high and built accord ingly, and you are afraid of a bit of femininity that stands five feet nothing In its French boots! 'Yt.s, you are; H Is useless for you to deny. I know you, you great, overgrown coward; you pese as being somebody, but yon are a mere bluff. You swell around and try to keep up the pretense until you meet five feet no.bing, and then ' Mr. l'.iinks abruptly censul tulkiag snd m ,o.lily walked from the miirer. Again he ran his hand through his hair Dn 1 after that violently b,t bis mus tache for a time. Then he again spoke: "I'll d It. If 1 die for It, I will. I will go over this very evening and have the thing settled once and for till. No body shall long- r have an opportunity to say that lam afraid of a lawn dress and its contents. I will summon my Courage to the sticking point. Here goes!" A half-hour Inter Mr. Blinks, still chewing his mustache, was sitting In a small and cosily appointed parlor aw aiting the arrival of five feet nothing on the scene. The little; lady took her time and the young man in bis nervous tension suffered accordingly. .Secvuds seemed minutes and minutes seemed hours while still he waited. At last the rustle of a dress was heard und she whom he awaited appeared. Mr. Blinks said to himself that he dared not wait lest he should fall by the wayside. So he drew a long breath, summoned coinage from the deep and bidden recsses of his nature and, al most before the young lady fairly was seated, took the decisive plunge. "Slary," said the young man, as ho nerved himself to the effort, "you must ere now have observed the condition of my fellings. You must long age have felt how I have seen that is, you must long ago have seen how 1 have felt. You must know the emotions with which I look ujwn you. When 1 om with you I feel as if my entire tin. ture had undergone a complete data cysm that is, a complete kltyclasm or, I should say, catechism.

"Yes, Mtiry." "Don't you think you might get along better If you would fk!p the word ra a cJysm and go rlprlit or.';" ; So he skipped th? word, says ths N'ew York Times, and everything went aloiig too beautifully to be told.

UN DAY in Mexico Is Uie day of enjoyment if not of rest. All tbt stores are open until 1 p. in., and trade is even greater than on week, days, for It is the great shopping day of the lower classes. The streets are tilled with people, rich and poor, old and young, wels dressed and in rags. Here is a ranchero magnificent In his gold embroid ered hat and tight fitting "Cbarro" suit walking side by side with tbo poor peon whose raiment consists of a cotton shirt, blue Jeans and "guaraches," or sandals, with a red "serapc" or blanket thrown over his shoulders. Here the lady of fashion In silks and satins elbow her less fortunate sister In cotton waist and skirt-barefooted, but always with the Inevitable "reliozo" or scarf over her head. All morning bands have been playing through the streets advertising "La gran Corrida de Toros." or bull tight, which will take place In the "Plaza de Toros," at 3:.10 p. m. The three Reveries, greatest of bull fighters, are named as the "matadorcs." Are they not well worth seeing! Ask any citizen of the Republic of Mexico. We purchase tickets at $5 a head nnd pass in. The bull ring Is ar ranged as were the amphitheaters of olden times; in the center the ring, then a barrier, Inside of which and running around, the ring Is a passage about 3 feet 0 Inches wldo, with little gates at intervals, so that In case the bull Jumps the barrier he may again reach the ring; then another fence, and tier upon tier of seals, and finally, at the top, the boxes holding ten persons, with the Judges' box in the center. The bugle blows, and the gate of the bull pen Is thrown open. Ths bull appears in the middle of the ring, his back ornamented and his rage increased by a dart which has lieeu placed in his shoulders as he passed the, gate. Swiftly he makes a tour of the ring, driving all except the "plcadores" over the fence. Soon one seemingly more venturesome than the rest runs forward and flaunts his red Vapa" iu the bull's face, and is immediately chased over the barriers. Most of this is done for effect. The "matador" then takes a band In the game and stands in front, of the bull, allowing him to charge the "capa," and nimbly stepping out of I the way when be does so. The "plcadores" spur their ponies forward, and apparently for the first 1 time the bull notices them. He charges fiercely; the "picador" is unable to repel the attack with his long pike, and In an instant the "picador" and horse are down, the former underneath, and the horse dying from a wound In the heart from which the blood spurts, or rather gushes. Another "pica dor" rides forward and Is upset Ills horse picks himself up, and runs madly across the ring Into the fence on the other side and drops. He Is soon removed. Another "picador" has his horse badly gashed on the shoulder, and then the "plcadores" leave the ring. The bull has charged them three times, and their duty Is performed. Then come the "banderilleros." armed with sticks two feet long, In the end of which Is a barb pointed like a fish hook. The first stands facing the bull and waves his arms and stamps bis foot dramatically to bid defiance. The bull looks surprised. The banderillo runs forward, and as the bull charges this new enemy places his "banderlllas" In the bull's shoulders at the base of the neck, one on each side of the spinal column, and, skipping nimbly out of the way, runs for the barrier with the pain-, maddened bull after blm. The second "banderillo" Introduces a novelty. He places a pocket-1 handkerchief on the ground, stands upon It and as the bull charges, places j his "banderlllBJi" and sways his body out of the road Just In time to ' escape the horns. Three pairs of "banderilias" must be placed, and then the bugle sounds once more. The "matador" takes the "espada" (sword) and the 'muleta," or scarlet cloth, and after asking and receiving the permission of the Judge to kill,' advances to the bull. The first "matador" Is Reverie Espanol. He waves the scarlet "muleta" before the bull, who blindly charges to find nothingbut as he turns, there again is the tantalizing piece of red before him. After several charges of this kind, lie stops, puzzled and somewhat tired, and watches the "muleta" closely. Now Is Reverie's time. He turns sideways, the sword poised on a level with the shoulder, glances along It to make sure of bis aim ami running at the bull, who also charges, he sends It home through the bull's heart The bull sinks to bis knees, and a small dagger Is plunged Into the spinal column lehlnd the horns. The King Is dead. The band plays the "Victorious Torero," the people shout, and the Iwdy of the bull Ik hauled away to be put up and sold to the poor people. Then the victorious "torero" makes a circuit of the ring and receives the plaudits of the people. Hats are thrown down into the ring, and happy Is he whi.se hat Is thrown back by the hand of the matador. Money and cigars also fall thickly, all picked up by the attendant members of the "cuadrilla." TRY ROPE SKIPPING. Novel Homed j for Many of the 111 that Anoojr Women. Times have changed since then, and even the skipping rope has under gone progress. The rope has been pro moted, until now It Is brought out at all season of the year, ami Is used by old and young alike. Its mission now is the restoration of the skin, the making of a pair of dimples, the strengthening of the heart and tbo re newal of youthful cliarm." From this 11 t It will be seen that the skipping rope is relied upon as a modern miracle worker. And the woman who trie It will agree that it Is such to the last inch. To manipulate the skipping rope properly n roe should be ob'ained of the kind which Is fitted with bandies. Thus one can have a suppirt for the fingers to keep the rope from cutting Into the band. Then, too, the handles enable one to shorten the rope and to make highest fklps at will. The second rcqni-lle is that (he air In which the skipping Is performed shall be fresh.
