THE EaTE MISS MEBBIWEaTHER.
''Sixty dollars and I've earned it,
mercy knows!"
i And.. Hiss Merriweatherjrlanceddown
at the little heap of money, lying upon
the whitelv-sooured table, in a retro-
apecave manner.
"Just to think of the batch1 of tur
keys Tve ro-ie pampered them up as if
they were babies, too. Yes. I do say
I've earned it welL"
' And ou omrht to put it in the bank.
and it will accumulate interest."
Miss Prue's sister. Mrs. Potter, a lit
tle, wilted-looking woman, with a small
nub of dusty, flaxen hair pinn-d tightly
at the back of her 1 e ' wo manu
facturing pr serv- .r brass ket
tle, awnns: over tne blaze in the nre
nlace, hail one single idea of solid com
fort money at interest.
" Banks ain't alwavs safe." remarked
Miss Pnie. half to herself; "and I don't
see the use of money, either, if you
keep it alway in a bank, so as you
csn't get it if j'ou want to. I reckon I'll
have some good out of this, anyhow.
I'm going to jrive a"
"A party T" screamed Meg Potter, a
bouncing, " black-eyed girl" in a red
jacket, who was watering a thrifty
crtwus that dwelt in an ancient coffee
boiler in the kitchen window. "Oh,
yea, do. aunt Prue! and I'll help you to
make the cakes, and we'll invite tho'Se
charming Thompsons that have just come
from the city, and"
"No, we wont," said Miss Prue. de
cisively. " It amt a-goin to be no such
affair; "and I tell you. once for all. it's
only go.ng to be a party for poor folks
those that don' t have turkeys or plum
pudding. Tm going to search round in
ail the highways and byways for the
poorest and most m'serabie. and make
them all come: and I'm gohur to give
them one good feed of frosted pound
cake, and lemon pies, and boned-turkey,
and currant jelly, and other delicacies."
Nonsense!" grumbled Meg, thump
ing her watering-pot down with empha
sis, " that won't be nice."
" Goodness gracious !" groaned Mrs.
Potter, "you always was queer. Prue
Marriweather; but this beats all. They'll
most likely get ill. and blame you for it.
and call you names, and your money
will all be wasted, when you might save
is up. If you're afraid of a bank, lend
it out"
I'm going to." interrupted Miss
Prue. " Whosoever srveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord.' Tmgoina: to lend
this much to the Lord, anyway?'
"But you won't get no interest."
mourned her sister, stirring up her pre
serves with much dejection.
" I ain't afraid of getting cheated,
anyhow." said Miss Prue, dryly.
And as there was no hope whatever
of persuading her to change her mind,
her sister and niece were constrained to
make the best of it and help along with
the preparations.
"It looks as if you were cookingvom
wedding dinner, Prue Merriweatner,"
tittered"Miss Jemima Jonquil, appear
ing in the doorway with a purple calico
apron pinned over her head, and glanc
ing critically at the row of pies upon the
cupboard, beside which stood a great
cake studded with raisins and citron.
"I come to fetch yournattern back, and
smelling nutmegs and things here, I
come this way."
Miss Jonquil was fat and fair, and
had a softly-insinuating manner and
light gray eyes.
"Dear me," she continued, sliding
in and plumping herself into a cEair by
the fire, "if it ain't this very day ten
years ago that you was cooking things
just lik"e you "are now. because you
thought Jim Griggs would be back next
day. We all tola yon not to put faith in
his promising that it was quite likely
he wouidn t come, he was always so
careless; but you was so headstrong you
would prepare for him, and have a par
ty to welcome him anyhow. I suppose
you thought ft might be your wedding
day if he took a notion to suggest it
for I suppose he hadu't spoke already."
You needn't bother yourself about
whether he had or not." said Miss
Prue, nushing. " He didn't come, so I
hope you are'sarisiied.1
" O. now. Prue," said Mi Jemima,
reproachfully, " you know I was awfully
sorry when lie didn't come, you looked
so dL?tres-ed. and I pitied you ever
since. You seemed as though vou
thought such a lot of Jim. If he had
only returned you might have been
Mrs. Griggs all this time. He must be
married long ago, and I suppose you
don't expect ever to be nothing but" an
old maid now."
Miss Jonquil, beinr fully six months
younger than Miss Merriweather, could
afford this taunt.
"I don't expect anything only what
Providence sends,"' "said " Mips" Prue.
composedly, setting a plate of tarts in
the window to cooL
A great fire roared in Miss Merri
weather's parlor the next day. and the
strange guests were soon assembled,
enjoying the novelty and exchanging
greetings, comments and criticisms."
" Dear me." said an old lady in a
linsey shawl, who earned a scanty living
by knitting socks, "if there ain't Jane
Higgs. and looking as if she thought she
was as good as anybody."
" And just see "old Daddy Skifkins, ,
with his wall-eyes and bristles! I know
he'll spoil my appetite." remarked Mrs. '
Baker, who was almost helples with :
dropsy. " I do think he might ha-e
sense enough to stay away."
But Daddy Skifkins. far from sus
pecting himself of being an object of
aversion, was bent on making himself
agreeable to all, and trotted about from ,
the fire to the dining-room door with f
gleeful exclamations of '-Crikey, what
a joilv fire! She's an angeL Miss Prue
is! 'inere's a turkey bigger than a j
waah-tub. Bless her heart! don't it :
just make a fellow feel like iroinz to '
church? What a cake! Aint it a
screamer?" etc, until Mrs. Baker re
quested him to shut his mouth and not
make a fool of himplf
MLu Prue felt that she had an ample
reward inthehappinessshe had the means
f oi" bestowing upon these poor creatures.
xto wsose lives so law such gleams as
flats had fallen.
"If people would only seek happinesa
in this manner they would find it often
er." she thought.
Meg, who was helping her aunt lay
the table, found the affair rather an in
interesting experiment, and even Mrs.
Potter conceded that lending to the Lord
was not a bad investment.
Miss Merriweather was just finishing
off her table arrangements with a grea:
glass dish of oranies. when Daddy Skif
sins came skipping out. in much excite
ment. "Mis3 Prue," he exclaimed, "there's
a fellow outside says can he come m,
because it is snowinrr very fast? And
Mrs. Baker and Granny Larkins says he
shan't come in; but" it seems rather
rough on a fellow that he has no place
to go to, and I don't think he has, and"
"Of course he can come in." said
Miss Prue. settling the last orange.
" Wait ril let hinfin myselL"
As she opened the door a tall form in
a rough gray overcoat, all dappled with
snowr walked in.
"Prue!" exclaimed a deep voice just
a little tremulous.
And without ft her notice the tall
and saucy stranger gave Miss Prue a
very snowv hur.
"Jim Jim Grggs is itreallvyou?"
cried Miss Prue, returning the htiir. in
the face of all the guests, who had
trooped into the halL with Mrs. Potter
andileg close behind.
"It's Jim Griggs and nobody else,"
returned the stranger cheerily. " And
every year for the past ten it's been
mr intention to come home on this very
day of this very month, because it's the
anniversary of that day I promised to
come, when I sot all "but killed and
robbed afterwaras. and when I got into
a traveling condition, come oack I
wouldn't, with never a penny, when I
had made a fortune: and I vowed a vow
not to come till I had it back which
I've done at last and to come this
nisht when I did. Letters we poor
wfetche couldn't send oftener than
once in six months, and then they most
ly went astray; so I wouldn't risk it,
not being any hand to write anyway,
and I always said next year I'll go sure.
I knew you'd wait for me. Prue. my
darling, and here vou are. with every
thinir and everybody to welcome back
the prodisaL"
Mr. Griggs finished his explanation
before the" runteou tire, with Daddy
Skifkin- revolving amund him in a per
fect ecstasy, amf everybody talking at
once.
Miss Prue took the opportunity to in
dulge in a thank, ul little cry behind the
dintng-room door.
But it somehow happened that while
the gie-ts were enjoying their banquet
for which Mrs. Baker's appetite was
not found to be eriously impaired by
Daddv snifkins pre-ene Mr. Griir
persuaded Miss Prue to take a little
walk with him as far as the nvnister'a
residence.
" It apDears like it was her weddinsr
dinner she was cooking, after alL" aid
Mis Jonquil, when she heard the nev".
" But. law sakes!" she addeL with a
titter, "it wasn't a very stylish affair. I
wouldn't have such a wediiimr-"
Which remark did not trouble the Iato
Miss Merriweather in the least.
How Shall Thin Pa)ple Become Plump!
But for one fat person, there are. es
pecially in New England, a dozen lean
ones. Here comes a. young woman o;
twenty-five, who looks as thomrlj she
were thirty-five, and the prematurely
o'd look come-; from this clinsrinj of the
skin to the hones. See how Eollow he?
temples and cheeks are.
Catimr her eye about the office to sea
that nobody overhears, she says:
"Doctor, what can be done for thesv
dry bones? Why, I can harily make a
shadow: and while I ought to be plumn
at twenty (which she desires me to un
derstand is her are), here I am looking
like an old grandmother. Can any
thins be done for these crow" feet
about my eyes, anil these scrawny collar
bones?"
" WelL this is curious: a woman in
just the opposite condition has thi mo
ment left. he is carrying ninety
pounds too much flesh. That make-, her
miserable. Now van have not enough

The Reoent Auroral Display.
The magnificent auroral display of
Sunday nibrht. which wa een over a
large part of the continent, has scarcely
a parallel in the history of the oldest in
habitant. Nearer the pU there is not
seldom a gorgeous di-play of auroral
grandeur; but in this climate one seldom
sees anything of the kind which more
nearly resembles that of Sunday nisrhc
than the shadow reemble the object
that casts it. We certainly have not
had one so grand since the great fire.
The question was asked ye-teniay by
thousands: "What is it?" Phy-ictst
have found it difficult to define or e c
plain. But they now generally arree
that the aurora is an electrical phenom
enon. That this is corrrect receives
positive proof from the disturbance in
the lines of telegraphic communication
during the display. In some eases the
wiresactually worked without the aid
of the usual batteries, and even reversed
their action. The electrician state that
it was the greatest electrical storm ex
perienced in many years, and the great
est ever known unaccompanied brother
storm.
Probably the mo$t interesting point
in connection with the aurora is the
growing certitude that it is closely
associated with the phenomena of solar
eruption. The aurora are known to be
most frequent and most brilliant when
the sun's surface is mot violently
agitated: and it seems provable that the
storm on the sun causes the electrical
storm here, of which the aunra N one
form of maife-tation. It is well known
that we are now near the maximum point
in the eleven (ll-l) year cycle of un
spot activity, the spo bein: now larsre
and numerous, it is n-t at preent
known that there was an" particular
spasm of activity on the solar surface
during last Sunday. Prof. Youmr. of
Princeton, did not make any speei d ob
servation of the sun on that day. The
big telescope of the Dearborn Oberva
tory was turned upon him. but did not
show anything widely different from the
appearance of a short rime previouslv.
There was. however, ample time for a
storm to brew on the sun during the
twelve hours that elap-ed between the
obervat,on and the display.
The aurora testifies rather forcibly
to the existence of an atmopher"e
to the earth far ouside the lim:t
uually asMirned to it by text
book writers. The display or
Sunday night could scarcely have
been observed as it was had it not ex
tended at least 150 miles ahove the
earth's surface: and it is scan-ely pos
sible to conceive that the phenomenon
is not one of electrical excitation
among air particles at that ditance
from the sea level. Chicago Tribune.

"I presume you are right." -aid the
trader, "and the los of ones wife is in
deed a bereavement. You have the
sympathy, undoubtedly, of all your
friends." "Yes. but it is poor consola
tion, after all." said the widower, with
a solemn visage. Finally the subjeca
was changed to one cf a more cheerful
character, and after a few moments' talk
the trader said: " But what, mav I ask.

The stranger "didn't answer heartilv ;
but after a moment he replied: " WelL

i X Tear-Compelllnjf Scene in the Crim
i inal Court.
Several days ago. when Larry Mnrry.
the accomplished burglar, was brought
before Judge Rogers and entenced to
fifteen years in the penitentiary, his
companion in crime. James Rice, suc
ceeded in having sentence in his case
deferred, in order that he might bring
forward witneses. to prove his previous
good character. Yesterday was the day
allotted for the final hearing in his case,
and when Rice wa.- brought into court
his wife and two children, one a bright
little boy of four years, and the other a
babe almost ia arms, were present. At
sight of his father the little fellow
clapped his hanil gleefully, and crying
" O papa!" ran to clasp him about the
knees. He was so overjoyed to see his
papa once aaia that it was with diffi
culty the father could restrain hi ca
resses. The wife and the babe. too. put
in so pitiful a plea for the culprit that,
had the appearance been before a jury,
it would have taken considerable evi
dence to overcome the sympathy which
would have gone cut to this unfortunate
famdy group.
The prisoner witness as to charac
ter, reputable-looking enough in him
self, took the stand and swore that Rice
had always borne an excellent character
prior to leaving St. Loui a few months
ago.
Rice then took the stand in his own
behalf. He was the foreman in a shop
in St. Louis, and was doing well wh-n
Murry came to work in the same shop.
Within six months they became chums.
Murry was wild and reckless, and lost
his situation. He then interested him
self in a criminal case in which he. Rice,
was a witness, and. partly by promises
and partly by fr.endship. Murry suc
ceeded in inducing him to quit work
and keep in hiding, so that he might not
be summoned to testify in the case.
When he again showed up, his employ
ers discharged him for his action, and
he found himself unable to procure em
ployment elsewhere, and with very little
cash on hand. Murry. at this juncture,
cam- to Chicago, and hi the course of
time "oaxed him by g!ow;ng accounts of
his -'icce. to come on and loin him. It
was not until they met 'n this city. Rice
said, that he became aware of Murry'j
nefarious occupation. He was in" a
desperate strait, and Murry d d not find
much difficulty in persuading h.m to ga
into a business where the p-nfits were
sure and quick. Rice then urged in his
own oehalf that he had never entered
any bouses: Mnrry I way did that,
while ue stood guard on the outside.
It was through!" him that the police
had first been able to accumulate
the evidence. and then to re
cover nearly all the large amount of
property stolen. He had neer been
arrested but twice before, once on a
trivial charge when a Boy. and once
when he fir-t went to St. Louis, where
the police held him in confinement for
three day- while they were investigating
his character.
The prisoner broke down completely
on the stand, and the little son created an
other scene by running to his father and
imploring him in an agonized tone.
"Don't cry. papa," A bailiff, ruder
than the rest, dragged away the child,
who then turned" to his "mother and
seemed to implore her to go and aid the
father.
All were visibly affected, when Judge
Roger, turning to Rice. aid he was
convinced, from all the evidence, that
Murry was the greater criminal of the
two. and that Rice was not a bad man.
They had together to!en about $10. MX)
worth of property, committing numerous
burglaries, at all of which -ave two
Rice was present. It wm Rice who
confessed, and it was through his in
terposition that about ?7.,.l0O worth of
the plunder had been recovered. He
was disposed to be lenient, but he did
not well see how he could inflict a less
punishment than two years in the peni
tentiary. Mrs. Rice bucst into tears and wept
Eiteimsly. The little boy -obbed as if
is heart would break, and turned in
vain from one parent to fhe other for
consolation. Even the babe joined in
the wail. Rice h.raelf burst mro
tears, and as he proceeded in a choked
voice to make yet anahte..' pie
for leniency by promising future good
behavior and by poinringto his already
destitute and helpless family, there was
not a dry ey in the court-room. Not
a few who were nnaole to restrain their
emotion arose and left the -oom. Sobs
accompanying those of the -tricken
family were heard from several quar
ters. Tears stood in the eve- of the
State's-Attorney and the Clerk, and
tears wre slowly trickling down the
face of Judgq Roger as he expr-ei
the deepest sympathy for the prisoner's
family, and called to mind that he had
a grandchild just above the age and
somewhat resembling the little fellow
before him. Then. leaning over to the
Clerk, he ordered the sentence reduced
to one year in the penitentiary. As the
prisoner wa' led away the wfe and lit
tle one sobbed louder than ever. It was
a scene never to be forgotten, and it had
its effect upon the subsequent proceed
ings of court.
Shortly before the noon adjournment

the two burglars until he found himself
enrolled as one of their victims, ap
proached State's-Attorney Mills, and. in
.i voice full of emotion, asked if th-re
