BROTHERHOOD
That plenty but reproaches me
Which leaves my brother bare.
Not wholly glad my heart can be
While his is bowed with care.
If I go free, and aound and stout,
While his poor fetters clank,
Unsated still, I'll still cry out.
And pleud with Whom I thank.
Almighty: Thou who Father be
Of him, of me. of all,
Draw us together, him and me.
That whichsoever fall,
The other’s hand may fall him not—
The other's strength decline
No task of succor that his lot
May claim from son of Thine.
I would be fed, I would be clad,
I would be housed and dry,
But If so be my heart be sad—
What benefit have I?
Best he whose shoulders best endur*
The load that brings relief.
And best shall be his joy secure
Who shares that Joy with grief.

When Jared Peters went west to help
the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne
thought her heart was broken. This
was a logical sequence of the firm con
viction that she could not live without
Jared, which had led her to engage
herself to him. In accordance with this
fixed idea, she, for a day or two, re
fused food, and mournfully contem
plated the prospect of an early demise.
But an immature mind cannot long
dominate a young and healthy phy
sique. On the third day she made sev
eral surreptitious visits to the pantry;
on the fourth day she dined openly and
heartily; and the day after she was
startled by the discovery that she had
not thought of Jared for several hours.
The Sunday following Jared's de
parture, she permitted Harold Winter
set, the son of a wealthy manufacturer
from a neighboring city, to accompany
her home from church and linger for
an hour at the gate; and she was again
startled by the discovery that she en
joyed his society quite as much as
Jared’s.
Then she went upstairs and sat down
in the moonlit window to consider.
She had all the rules of love at her
fingers’ ends. She knew that “Absence
makes the heart grow fonder,” that
true love never forgets or wavers for
the fraction of a second. She was
therefore forced to the conclusion that
sne did not love Jared; that she never
had loved him; and the manufacturer’s
son was allowed to call regularly.
Jared's letters were intensely inter
esting. The little western town which
he had taken under his wing was on a
"boom." He had already doubled his
small capital and was proceeding to
double it again. Rose had all the rules
of arithmetic also at her fingers' ends.
She knew something of geometrical
progression; and having become, in
view of her large experience, skeptical
in regard to the tender passion, she
planned her future operations on a
strictly commercial basis. After care
ful consideration, she decided that a
budding Western capitalist in the
hand was worth more than a wealthy
manufacturer's son in the bush; so she
did not break her engagement; and
she did not mention Harold in her nu
merous and entirely satisfactory let
ters to Jared.
Although his love wras false, Jared
had one devoted admirer. From the
day it was declared that the red-faced
mite of humanity called Jared was the
image of his grandfather, the old man
had found his chief occupation in trac
ing his own characteristics in the
growing boy.
“He's a Peters, every Inch of him,”
On the Third Day.
gran’ther would shout when Jared’s
boyish achievements creditable or
otherwise, came to his notice.
Gran'ther Peters had always liked
Rose; and of all the grils in the coun
try round, he would have chosen her
for Jared. When, therefore, at the
ape of sixteen, Jared first walked home
from church with her, gran’ther re
tired to the grape arbor and chuckled
till he was black in the face. He did
all he could to foster the budding
romance; and when the engagement
was formally announced, his rapture
nearly caused a fit of apoplexy.
When a tattling neighbor brought the
news of Rose’s double-dealing, the old
man flatly refused to believe it; but
when with his own eyes, he saw Rose
and Harold strolling by, arm in arm,
in the dusk, he took to his bed. After
two or three days of misery, mental
and physical, he arose and spent an en
tire afternoon in inditing a letter
which struck consternation to Jared’s
soul. It was vague in manner and
matter, but he gathered from it some
inkling of the truth; and immediately
wrote—not to Rose, but to one of her
girl friends. By return mail he re
ceived a spicy and perhaps not unex
“I Shall Stand by Jared.”
aggerated account of Rose’s “carry
ings on.”
Now Jared, absorbed in speculation
a3 he was, had kept a little corner
of his heart for Rose; and thought
himself a miracle of constancy because
ue had not allowed another to share
It. There are pretty girls in Kansas;
and there was one in particular, with
wondrous dimples, that he had noticed,
just barely noticed, you know—so he
made the customary remarks about fe
male perfidy. He wrote Rose a biting
letter—and tore it up; for a subtler
revenge had occurred to him. He di
vined that Rose preferred him to
Harold—if he succeeded in making
money; and he plotted accordingly.
From this date his correspondence
took on a dismal hue. The boom was
declining; and there were vague hints
of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and
the inexperienced. Close on the heels
of these dire forebodings, followed a
rumor that Jared had come home un
expectedly, looking very seedy; and it
was surmised, “dead broke.”
Friends and neighbors, Rose and
Harold among them, promptly gath
ered on the broad piazza to greet the
home comer, and learn the truth of the
matter. One glance at the young
man’s doleful face was enough. Dis
aster was written on it.
At first he seemed disinclined to
talk; but numerous well put queries
finally loosened his unwi.ling tongue.
Among the friends Jared made in the
west was one who had been born un
der an unlucky star. He was intelli
gent and shrewd; but everything he
touched turned to ashes. Where others
reaped golden harvests, he reaped mis
fortune, and his affairs became serious
ly Involved. He was too young to
know that while there is life there is
hope; and one night, Jared, who room
ed with him, came home to find his
friend stretched on the floor with a
bullet through his head, and the
empty revolver in his own stiffening
right hand.
With the callousness of youth. Jared
adapted this young fellow's story to his
own uses. Up to the culminating
tragedy, he told it as his own, and told
it well. He was a clever actor, and
fully realized the dramatic possibili
ties of the situation.
The stage setting was perfect. A
rising thunder storm had dyed the
summer twilight an inky black; and
continual flashes of lightning illum
inated Jared’s handsome, melancholy
face and sombre eyes. He sat oppo
site his false sweetheart and Harold;
and behind him, the old man, white
faced but firm-lipped, glared over his
boy’s head like a wounded lion.
As Jared’s sad, mellow voice died
away with a little break—he felt a
pang of genuine emotion as he remem
bered poor Wiley’s face with the bul
let hole in the forehead— Rose’s heart
melted. All that was sweet and worn
anly and good In her untutored soul
rose to the surface. She crossed the
piazza, and laying her hand on Jared’s
shoulder, resolutely faced her frown
ing parents and the chagrined Harold.
“I shall stand by Jared,” she said,
in ringing tones.
Jared started to hls feet In dismay.
This climax was precisely the opposite
of the one he had courted and ex
pected. The face of the dimpled Kan
sas girl flitted across his memory, and
then disappeared forever. The boom
erang he had launched buried itself
in his own heart. The two young
things who had been playing with the
eternal verities of love and death,
looked Into each other’s eyes, and, by
the white light of the approaching
storm, saw there that which made
them afraid and ashamed of what they
had been doing—saw the dawn of an
everlasting affection—the affection that
mocks disaster, and calmly ignores
doubters and detractors, as the placid
moon Ignores the yellow dog that bays
it.
Gran’ther's face was convulsed with
delight. Tears of Joy meandered un
heeded down his wrinkled cheeks, as.
glaring at the dsicomflted Harold, he
raised hls staff and brought it down
with a force that split it in twain.
‘‘She's a Peters, every inch of her.”
he roared. ‘‘Leastways, she soon will
be.”
Rose was somewhat shocked when
she learned that Jared's woes were all
assumed; and that he had prudently
escaped from the collapsing boom with
the neat little nest egg of one hundred
thousand dollars; but she became
reconciled to the situation in time.
•'STRICTLY fresh eggs.**
You (auaot Make Hen* I .ay When They
Don’t Want To.
With all that men of science have
done to procure for our tables luxuries
without regard to season, so that al
most we say “there is no season,” bo
one of them has yet succeeded in
wheedling a hen into laying her best
and biggest eggs at any other season
of the year than that at which the
primal hen so distinguished herself.
There have been many experiments of
all kinds tried with regard to hatching
chickens and they have all been more
or less successful, till the term "spring
chicken” has become a misnomer. Or
rather there are others beside spring
chickens. We have winter chickens,
thanks to incubators and brooders and
all sorts of appliances, and fall chick
ens and summer chickens, and chick
ens in between seasons, which is one
of the compensations scattered all
through life if we look for them. But
the hen plods on in that tiresome un
changing way and looks untouched by
all the means that man has invented
for hatching her eggs for her, though
no one knows just what she thinks.
Probably her line of thought takes the
stand that you may lead a hen to any
kind of artificially warmed and lighter
nest, but you cannot make her lay;
and cold storage has done much to
make us indifferent to the stubborn at
titude of the hen. The farmer who
doesn’t know that he may by the care
he takes of his hens influence the man
ner and kind of eggs they lay for him
does not deserve to succeed. Hens like
elean, sunny houses, and they like
good wholesome food, and in variety.
They want a certain amount of corn
and meal and they dearly love a flavor
of meat in their food. Also they like
something in the nature of oyster
shells that the shells of the
eggs may be up to standard quality.
Housekeepers who receive day after
day from their grocer eggs of not only
a uniform size and of even tinting—
either all white or with a tinge of
brown—take it as a matter of course,
and think perhaps that it is just so in
every case. But there are sorters
whose business it Is to put <nto cases
eggs that "match” in color and size.
And they do say that in Boston the
brownish eggs have the first call, while
in New York the demand is for purest
white. It is this demand for uniform
ity in size and color that induces a
poultry farmer to have his hens all of
one breed.—Epicure.
Cottage Heirloom* In England.
It is still quite a common experience
to find fine and even valuable speci
mens of old English furniture, chiefly
made of oak. in thd cottages of the
village folk. These pieces of furniture
have been handed down from genera
tion to generation of rural folk such
as carters, keepers, woodmen and
shepherds. How did the family orig
inally come by them? The explana
tion is this in many cases: Genera
tions ago, when the furniture, which
is once again prized greatly, began to
go out of fashion and to be superseded
by stuff which we view with contempt
nowadays, it was sold and farmers
bought much of it. But by and by, the
farmer being prosperous, and desiring
to be in the fashion, too, like his land
lord, bought in its place more modern
chairs and cables, etc. Then the vil
lage folk bought for a song the de
spised oak chairs, coffers, etc., and
now, once again, the old furniture has
come into favor and is finding its way
back frort the cottage to the hall.—

Her hair was done up neatly and sim

were no rings on her fingers or bells on
her toes. She was a pretty, quietly

girl with her head full of the fine

is all a matter of ideals In this old

that she has forgotten all about it. But
when a woman brings up a clean,

Machine* in Agrlcnltare.
In 1855 it required on the average
four hours and 34 minutes of the time
of a laborer to do the ploughing, har
rowing, cultivating, etc., that went to
the producing of a bushel of Indian
corn, and the price of that laborer was
nearly 30 cents on the average. To
day machines have changed conditions.
Their use has reduced the necessary
time of the laborer to about 34 min
utes and the cost of it to about 10>6
cents. The wages are, however, much
better now than in 1855. In 1830 the
time required to produce each bushel
of wheat was over three Sours, it is
now about 10 minutes; the cost has
been reduced from over 17 cents to
about 3 cents. Before the introduc
tion of machines the time devoted to
producing each ton of hay was about
35Mi hours; it is now ll^s hours. In
1860 the corresponding cost was over
|3; it is now about $1.29. These and
many other comparisons of the sort
are to be found in a report by Mr.
Holmes printed by the Department of
Agriculture in Washington.
Contrast of Tamporatnra.
The British Meteorological Council
has just published charts showing the
remarkable weather conditions which
prevailed over the North Atlantic
ocean and adjoining lands in the win
ter of 1898-99. At sea the weather was
extremely boisterous for a period of
six weeks, while a great difference of
temperature prevailed between the two
sides of the ocean. On February 10th
the thermometer at Fort Logan, Mon
tana, was 61 degrees below zero, while
on the same day at Liege, Belgium, It
was 70.5 degrees above zero, a differ
ence of 131.5 degrees, and over exten
sive regions on two sides of the At
lantic the difference in temperature
amounted to 100 degrees.
Color of Butterflies*
Butterflies change their color ac
cording to the heat of the atmosphere.
This Interesting fact has been discov
ered by M. Sandfuss of Zurich, Swit
zerland, who subjected 40,000 butter
degrees of the sun's heat. On one oc
casion, it being unusually cold in Swit
zerland, a butterfly common there took
on the appearance of a butterfly from
Ijapland. On the other hand, butterflies
which were subjected to a higher de
gree of solar heat than the normal
looked as if they bad been born and
raised in Corsica or Syria. One result
of these novel experiments Is the pro
duction of butterflies of an entirely
new type, some of them being of be
wildering beauty.

Hon. Robert W. Wilcox, Delegate
to Congress from Hawaii and the Sand

•'I have used Pcruna for dyspepsia

monial. Am satisfied if it Is used

-R. IV'. Wilcox.
All over this country are hundreds of
people who are suffering from catarrh
of the stomach who are wasting preci
ous time, and enduring needless suffer
ing. The remedies they try only tem
porarily palliate the distress, but never
effect a cure. Remedies for dyspepsia
have multiplied so rapidly that they
are becoming as numerous as the leaves
of the forest, and yet dyspepsia con
tinues to flourish in spite of them all.
This is due to ths fact that the cause of
dyspepsia is nor recognized as catarrh.
If there is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that is
in every particular adapted to dyspep
sia, that remedy is Peruna. This rem
edy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
Dr. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium. Columbus, O., says:
"In my large practice and correspon
dence I have yet to learn of a Bingle
ease of atonic dyspepsia which has not
cither been greatly benefited or cured
by Peruna.”
No one suffering with catarrh of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight,
can be well or happy. It is the cause
of so many distressing symptoms that
it is a most dreaded disease. Peruna
acts immediately on the seat of the
trouble, the inflamed mucous mem
branes lining the stomach and a last
ing cure is effected.
If you do not derive prompt and sat

runs, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you hie
valuable advice gratis.
