That plenty but reproaches mo
Which leaves my brother bare
Not wholly glad my heart can be
While his Is bowed with care
If I go free and sound and stout
While his poor fetters clank
Unsated still Ill still cry out
Antf ilead with Whom I thank
Aim ity Thou who Father be
Of dm of me of all
Draw us together him and me
That whichsoever fall
The others hand may fall him not
The others 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 enduro
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 Jareds 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
Jareds
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 manufacturers
eon was allowed to call regularly
Jareds 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
manufacturers 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 was 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
Hes a Peters every inch of him

On the Third Day
granther would shout when Jareds
boyish achievements creditable or
otherwise came to his notice
Granther 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
age of sixteen Jared first walked home
from church with her granther 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 Roses 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 ha 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 Jareds
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
fl n
I Shall Stand by Jared
aggerated account of Roses carry
ings on
Now Jared absorbed in specation
as he was had kept a little corner
of his heart for Rose and thought
himself a miracle of constancy because
tie 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
mans 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 unwilling 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 fellows 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 Jareds 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
boys head like a wounded lion
ifHTnffirffliiamifrt
As Jareds sad mellow voice died
away with a little break ho felt a
pang of genuine emotion as he remem
bered poor Wileys face with the bul
let hole in the forehead Roses heart
melted All that was sweet and wom
anly and good in her untutored soul
rose to the surface She crossed the
piazza and laying her hand on Jareds
shoulder resolutely faced her frown
ing parents and the chagrined Harold
I shall stand by Jared she said
in ringing tones
Jared started to his 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 burled itself
in his own heart The two young
things who had been playing with the
eternal verities of love and death
looked into each others 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
Granthers face was convulsed with
delight Tears of joy meandered un
heeded down his wrinkled cheeks as
glaring at the dsicomfited Harold he
raised his staff and brought it down
with a force that split it in twain
Shes a Peters every inch of her
he roared Leastways she soon will
be
Rose was somewhat shocked when
she learned that Jareds 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 Caunot Make liens Lay When They
Dont 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 no
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
doesnt 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
clean 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 Into 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 Heirlooms In England
It is still quite a common experience
to find fine and eyen valuable speci
mens of old English furniture chiefly
made of oak in the 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- i
lord bought in its place more modern
chairs and tables 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 from the cottage to the hall

ENGLISH CLERGYMEN POOR
Benefices Said to Ho Worth Cess Than
87C0 a Year
The lot of the clergy in the Church
of England today is said to be so
wretched that even younger sons have
given up the career which for so many
years was looked upon as their chief
resource It may easily be understood
that this calling has ceased to appeal
to them When the fact is known that
out of about 14000 benefices in the
church more than 7000 are worth loss
than 750 a year and that nearly all
of them are decreasing in value About
1500 benefices are worth only 500 a
year and less than 250 annually is
the return from 300 livings which have
been recently described as more nearly
starvings to the unfortunates who
are assigned to them In the diocese
of Peterborough there are sixty one
livings that are worth no more than
225 a year and this is not yet the
worst as there are in Newcastle bene
fices that are valued at only 125 a
year The wives of clergymen in
these parishes are of course unable to
employ servants and all the drudgery
of housework falls on their shoulders
The luxury of meat is denied to them
except on alternate days and their
children of whom the number is
nearly always in inverse ratio to the
amount of the living are prepared by
education in the elementary schools or
by the teaching their parents can give
them at odd times for their descent to
a lower social sphere These clergy
men as a rule come from good country
families Their wives are from the
same class and are in few cases fitted
by their training for a life of drudgery
and hard work The actual return
for these livings is frequently much
less than the figures quoted here since
their value is dependent on the price
of corn and this has declined until it
many cases what used to be a living
worth 500 is now in reality not worth
more than two thirds of that sum

A Spelllnir Parrot
Pollys cage when at the seaside
hung upon a piazza where the little
children were in the habit of study
ing aloud The bird apparently listen
ing would make an effort to repeat
what she could catch Then suddenly
she would burst out with Ill spell
a strong emphasis on the
r continuing with a low chuckle
of satisfaction and ending in a hearty
and long continued laugh at her suc
cess the little ones joining in the chor
us She was very fond of the children
In the early morning when her cage was
opened to give her liberty she would
walk about for a time climb the stairs
to the childrens room and crawl into
their beds before time for rising Cof
fee was almost absolutely necessary
to her existence She would call early
and steadily for it in the morning
adjusting her tones to the length of
time spent in waiting ordering
begging beseeching as the case might
be holding her cup meanwhile to
hasten matters A very retiring modest
servant maid had been long in our em
ploy She had a follower named Thom
as who nightly paid his visit It
chanced one morning that Pollys cof
fee had been long delayed A gentle
man of the house coming to breakfast
met the girl and made an inquiry re
garding the meal She turned to reply
facing the questioner when Polly see
ing her opportunity for revenge took
it and in a mans voice called out
Mary hows Thomas The woman
retreated in confusion while Polly
laughed an ugly low laugh but the
coffee was forthcoming Our Animal

Wonders of the Wire
It is not widely known that at the
present time between all important
telephone centers of the United States
while the trunk wires are being used
for transmitting speech there are be
ing sent over them simultaneously
telegraphic messages without produc
ing any interruption of the spoken
words Were it not for immediate
laws of nature which cannot be varied
by man or corporation one might be
listening and take off the telegraphic
message thus traversing these very
conductors What a tantalizing pros
pect for the wiretappers Although
these telegraphic impulses actually
traverse the coil of wire in the tele
phone held to the car and actually
speed along the identical copper con
ductor at that time conveying the
voice currents you hear neither dot
nor dash of the telegraphic message
Environments of Some Literary Folk
Literary people are evidently not in
need of holidays So long as they have
pens ink and paper and access to a li
brary they can write their books any
where and many choose to write them
in the quiet seclusion of a country
house Rider Haggard enjoys the seclu
sion of a Norfolk farm George Mere
dith leads a reclusive life among the
Surrey hills G A Henty writes all his
boys books on board his eighty ton
yacht and Dr Gordon Stables has for
his study a gypsy caravan in which
he wanders at will for a half of every
year
Street Car Tickets as Currency
Portugal is sxiffering from a pleth
ora of money just now Not gold of
course nor silver but copper So vast
is the supply of this inferior metal
that ordinary people are exceedingly
chary of changing such few gold coins
as they may come into their posses
sion The copper coinage is big and
cumbersome and it is also deprecia
ted so that in order to avoid being
burden with it it has become the cus
tom in larger cities at all events to
use street car tickets as currency

people who are suffering from catarrh
of the stomach who arc 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
aro 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 the fact that the cause of
dyspepsia is not recognized as catarrh
If there is a remedy in the wholo
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 single
case ofatonic dyspepsia which has not
either been greatly benefited or cured
by Peruna
No one suffering with catarrh of tho
stomach or dyspepsia however slight
can be well or happy It is the causo
of so many distressing symptoms that
it Is a most dreaded disease Peruna
acts immediately on the seat of tho
trouble the inflamed mucous mem
