The story of the reunion of the Roach brothers of Excelsior Springs and Kearney, after a separation of forty-one years, would make a good foundation for a romance. In 18G1 the fatii?? ana two sons of the Roach family, the latter namod George and Lewis, left their Linois homo In a prairie schooner for the West. Wil liam.Roach, the third son, remained. Two years after his father and bro thers left he heard they had been kill ed in a fight with Indians. He after ; ward moved West and located at Ex ! celsior Springs. A short time ago W. B. Arnold of that place asked him if he had any brothers living, arid told him of two men named Roach who lived near Kearney. He did not think ; it possible they could be akin to him, but he opened a correspondence with them. It turned out that they aro his hrothers. The three have for years 1 been living in the same county, with i out happening to see or hear of each i other.-Chicago Chronicle. A FAULTY APPRAISEMENT.

She would have said the was horribly untidy-not fit to uo ee.ru; in fact, she raid it. Ile considered, and rightly, that she ?was so exceptionally blessed as to look delicious in anything, anti he very wisely put thal also into words. "That's very prettily said," she laughed.

"?xlinc all arc, when addressed to you."' he hastened to declare. "Then they are more ?ike bare state ments of facts than eopiiments, aren't they?" she smiled up at him, "and not specially to your crelit." . "Greatly to yours. ' he insisted, "since your charms leave no margin for embellishment." "Oh, that is sweetly said!" she cried. "Don't please, say any more, for von cannot, better that." "But I. .\m;t stand mum," he ob jected. "You can'sit in silence, though." "What do you mean?" "Last night, at dinner, at your lady love's side. I was watching you being opposite and with no one but a brother to ;=pcak to myself, I could not help it. And you neither of you spoke-at ai.y rate, you didn't. So you soe what you can do if you try." "It was .?-hr-who had been trying, ' he said, iii mournfulness. "Had she? Poor you-she looks a little like that." She pulled herself up with a pretty affectation of alarm. "What ,',m I saying? Oh, 1 beg your pardon! She looks as nice as can be -she can 1 b. lt was you who looked put out. ' "I had a reason to look it." "No doubt-I mean the must have had some ivason for letting you looic it." "She could not help being-" "Poor thing-so weak? I mean, bound to such a tyrant!" "I give her her own way in every thing." She flashed round on him with her most provoking smile. "How horribly tame of you!" she said. "No wonder she has lost inter est in her-your locks!" "After all," he said, "I didn't fol low you out here to talk of her." "Well, then, suggest a topic-I'm only waiting." While she still. waited she looked np at the laden apple tree under which they stood. She seemed to be selecting, with the eye of a -connois seur, but it may have been the blue and white patches of cloud-flecked sky seen through tho branches which held her attention, ile gazed at lier. He had been so gazing every availa ble moment during thc brief week he had known her, and always with the same sense of pleasure in the picture she made. It was true she was only the half-educated, untidy, pleasure loving daughter (the adjectives had been supplied for him) of the improvi dent, comfortable farmhouse where he and his mother and the girl he was engaged to were staying as paying guests, but he saw no reason in this why he should not admire ber for the qualities he did not need to have supplied for him. "I came out meaning to pick-well, several, not hundreds quite of apples," said she, "and I can't reach one." "There is something I might do for you," be said, seizing his opportunity, cr trying to seize it. For, try as he would, neither could he reach an ap ple. "I tell you what-that lowest branch there; it has four beauties on it. If you were to-" Sho looked up at him, smiled, looked down again, pen sively up at the coveted branch, with a sidelong glance like a flash at him, and then down once more. Hut she did not conclude her sentence. "If you would let me-if you'd only let me lift you up," he said, suddenly inspired, "you could reach them your self, couldn't you?" "Ah! That would do it, wouldn't it? And I want them so!" "Then I may." "Certainly not! I'd rather-go without the apples!" "I am much stronger," he said. "How if I seized you against vour will?" "Why, I couldn't help that, could I?" she asked. And the thing was done in less time than it takes to tell. But she had only picked one apple, the nearest, when his lady-love's voice came to them through the trees, calling him by name. And there was a sharp note in her voice (like the taste of an unripe apple) which told them what she saw. "If you put me down before I've picked the four I'll never forgive you," said the lady of the apples; so he held her till she had them all. though the task was robbed of a full half of the delights he had anticipated. "Now, she said, when she was on her feet again, "go quickly. Oh, poor you ! " "She'll cast mc off," he said. "I should-if I were she!" And then he turned ip haste. "But, if she dor's, come back to me!" she called after him. "Well-and what? Be quick!" "And I'll give you a bite of an ap ple-if there's any loft!" she laughed. The girl he was engaged to had seen it all, she said, and fortwith re nounced her right to that connection, she seemed to have seen even more than all, considerinj: what it. amount ed to when she went over it in words. Low tastes and the society of tho ill bred, she told him. would bc his ruin. Then she tossed him over to ruin, de claring she would have none ol' him. "You are free," she said (by no means for the first time), "and I know exactly how you will uso your freedom." ' I hope you'll have tho opportunity of using yours as well," he said, stung into retort at lasr. "I might have known!" sho^crled. "Oh, what I have been saved! Every fresh face-" "So few faces are fresh," he said; and that was really unkind, for sha had a sallow complexion. "I am not going to argue it any more," she declared, having talked the subject bare. "Go!" And he went. Eut he was a gentle man, and previous to going he had tried his best to soothe her annoy ance, even to frankly owning that from her point of view-she had cause for it. He had tried to close his ears to tho echoing voice, his eyes to the ? laughing face, of the girl he had left 1 under the apple trees. He did all he could to shut out the sweet, sudden vision of freedom, of release from a captivity which had always irked him. It was not his fault in the present that his past faults were accounted unpardonable. He only went when he was certain that he was powerless to rerivet his chains. He was not a poetical young mao. but some verses ^the lady who had relinquished'bim was fond of quoting came to him as he wandered back to whore the cause of the mischief (so hr> devoutly hoped) still awaited him. He wafted, on his part, until he was quito certain that she was there, until he stood in front of her, and then te repeated a verso out loud: "Where the apple tree reddens never pry Lest we lose our Eden, Eve and I." "So, she has sent you adrift?" said the girl, seated under tho apple tree. "But Eve's all right." .Ile i!ung himself beside her. " 'Eve's all right,' " he echoed. "God bless her! You haven't finished the apples?" "No-you're just in time. Here's a whole one left," and she passed it to him. "That's tho prettiest side," she said, pointing; "you may bite it there." "Really?" "It seems a ceremony befitting the occasion," she said. "There," he said, as he handed the bitten apple back to her. "But I knew what was good for rae tho moment I saw it, before I ate of the fruit." "You are not keeping very close to tue original," she said. " 'Eve is all right,' " he repeated. "Dear, I lovo you! Ara I?" Ho bent towards her. They were so close under the shelter of the old apple tree that she could hear his heart beat; he could hear hers. Her cheeks were redder than the nppies, and there was a strange new note in her clear voice. "Wait," she said; "I thought I could deceive you, but I can't. I saw her there before 1 let you-seize me." Ho did not speak. "I know she does not love you; she almost said so. She said things about you to me she never could have said if she truly loved you. I believe she loves someone else better. I must not tell you why I think it, but I do." Still he did not speak. "I knew-I felt sure-that you did not properly love her." Site waited a moment. "Can you forgive me?" she asked, very softly. "If love prompted you?" "i suppose that was it," she admit ted. "Love and apples."-The Sketch. PENNIES CN THE CEILING. Nord Way of CoKectlng Money for Char itable Purposes. , The landlords of some of the public. houses in the poorest districts in the LasL End have invented a new method of collecting money for the hospitals, says the London Graphic. They rccog- j nize the, fact that the average man is : usually charitably disposed when he I is in a public house, and so they give him a chance to do some good with his money. Incidentally, they also fur nish him with a little innocent amuse ment. While the man is sipping his drink the landlord ostentatiously takes a penny from his till. He next produ ces a thin slice from a cork with a tin-tack run through the centre. He then places thc piece cf cork on tho i top of the penny and wraps them in a piece of thin colored paper. The paper is screwed up tightly, so that the point of thc tin-tack pierces it, and is twist ed in the form of a "tail." When the landlord has completed these mysteri ous preparations he throws the penny wrapped in the paper up to the ceil ing. The tack goes into the ceiling and the penny in thc colored paper re mains up there. Sometimes the "tail" is cut into ribbons, and sometimes two or three pieces of paper of differ ent colors aro used. In any case the customer wants "to have a try." Thc landlord furnises the cont and the tin tack and the colored paper. The cus I lomcr finds the penny; with a very ! little practice anyone can make a i penny stick on to the ceiling, and ? so in course of time, the ceiling be comes gay with colored streamers of paper. When the ceiling is full the pennies are pulled down and sent to a hospital-and the fun begins all over again. PEARLS OF THOUCHT. Batter the feet slip than the tongue. There are more men threatened than stricken. Friends unjustly gotten are seldom comfortably enjoyed. The best little difference is betwixt good deferred and evil done. A good many people would be more charitable if charity was more fash ionable. To measure a man's worth by his success ls a square often false, al ways uncertain. The spoke in the wheel which creak eth most doth not bear the greatest burden in the cart. Some have sluices in the conscien ces, and can keep them open or shut, as occasion requireth.

The Sailorman and the Shark Cannot Come Together. "Sailors certainly hate sharks," said a man who has returned from his va cation over the lake. "It was off the pilot boat, on the bay side of Ship Island. Tony, one of the sailors, had rowed two amateur fishermen near a lot of old piling where Spanish mack erel were supposed to bite at the rate of sixty an hour, but where, as a matter of fact, only lady fish were anxious to snap up the bait and where big sharks broke hooks, snapped lines and shattered poles. Tony had been gradually working himself up into a fine rage against these dogs of the deep. Time and time again his hooks and lines had been taken. He had began to execrate the sharks in broken English,*but finding this inade quate a choice flow of Italian pro fanity was directed at the shovel nosed maurauders. Tony is a sailor, and all sailors hate a shark; but In this instance Tony's natural hatred was Intensified by the discomfort and annoyance of having to rig up now lines for himself and the amateurs. In desperation he dived into a small locker in the boat and produced a line as big as a young rope, with a hook that would have done for the hanging up of meat in a butcher stall. Tony then cut a big lady fish in two and fixed the tail to the hook. When he threw the line into the water he re marked with frills, that he intended to do up one of thc leather-skinned devils of the deep or die.. Having thus fixed a trap for the sharks, Tony relaxed himself and went tu pulling in lady fish for thc sport of the thing, leav ing one end of his shark line tied to the boat. "Oh, da old devil," cried Tony sud denly. The big line had. gone out like lightning. Tony threw down his pole, grabbed the line and began to pull with all his might. Soon tho ugly nose of a five-foot shark was seen near the side of the skiff. Its wicked little eyes were glaring with rage. As Tony drew lt near the boat it turned over and crushed its teeth against the gun wale. The amateurs wanted to shoot with a revolver, but Tony prevented them. He was now as mad as the Shark. He was standing In the boat, cursing at the writhing fish and at tempting to get a grip on Its head. Finally the strong right hand of Tony had seized the shark with a grip of steel, and pulling with his ieft hand by tho line and raisins with his right, managed to get the shark partly over the side of the boat. He then reached down quickly and with his left hand caught the shark by its tail. Tony's teeth gritted with anger. He batted the head of the shark against the side of the boat, causing the fish to make frantic endeavors to escape, while the blood ran from its jaws. Tony was asked by one nf the amateurs to let the shark go, but he was not finished. It was only after the shark had been ripped open with a knife that Tony, with a final Italian denunciation, cant him overboard. Even then the sea devil swam on top of the water for a long time before giving up tho ghost.*" -New Orleans Times-Democrat. COW PUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY. Novel Use of "Magic Touch" by West ern Cowboys to Drive Cattle. Cow punching by cowboys under the picturesque conditions of wild west ern life will soon be a lost art. Elec tricity Is taking the cowboy's place, and reports of its success In this novel field credit the new agency with remarkable success. One of the larg est packing firms in Kansas City em ploys electricity to drive cattle into the beef beds, instead of shouts, clubs, whips and prods. The electricity is applied by means of two insulated wires, connected with the light wires over the catching and knocking pens. The current passes through a stick and connects with two brass points on the end. "Punchers" is the name given the sticks. There are two punchers,, each six feet long, In the catch pen, and fivo, four feet long, in the knocking pens. The Insul ated wires are about twenty feet long, thus covering a distance in the pens of about thirty feet each. One hun dred and twenty-five volts of electric ity are turned on, enough to make a sharp, stinging sensation, without leaving a mark or bruise on the beef. The work ot punching is done in one half the time and with half the exer tion. The effect of the magic touch on the steer is amusing to see. A steer touched on thc left hip Im mediately throws his hindquarters as far as he can to the right. Then he cocks one ear straight ahead and one straight back, switches his tail and starts straight ahead. He don't care for a second attack. The electricity speaks to him in a language he doesn't understand. There is a look of sur prise in his eyes, and 1:3 seems to knew that all the trouble lies In the end t?f that stick. Ile doesn't stop to get mad or howl. He has urgent busi ness at ti?e other end of the pen. That is exactly where the drivers and knockers went him. The now method completely does away with all back rushes and dragging In with chains, for just as Ions as the puncher ls be hind the steer Is just as far as he can get In front. The saving of time and bruised meat are also items to be considered.-Philadelphia Press. NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL. "Ah, lt's a sad old world" sighed the man who had beon cheated out ol $20.

Aside from the defects which are born with the child, by far the great est number are the result of accidents and injuries. Owing to the softness and elasticity of the child's frame he escapes much that would prove seri ous to adults. Yet the greater part of the serious afflictions of childhood, aside from the contagious fevers, are the outcome of injuries to the bones and joints. In children's ward3 in the hospitals the majority of the little pa tients are suffering from the dis eases which make deformities. These are the different inflammatlons-of the spinal column, which cause the vari ous curvitatures of the spine; the In flammatory conditions '.hat, occur ring in the hip, give ric to hip joint disease, and the malformations which occur in the foot, giving rise to the shortening of a leg, causing the child to limp. Many of these conditions are due to an accident, such as a fall or a bruise; some are present from birth. A child's frame is much like that of the young tree or sapling. It can be trained and shaped while young and pliable, but after lt ls full grown this is not possible. Parents should use every means in their power to relieve and overcome the deformities which will be such a burden to their children all their lives. Mothers should con stantly inspect their children to dis cover any of these troubles which re sult no disastrously. When the child is undressed, make it bend over so as to curve the spin*, which makes the little projections of each vertebra j stand out in re'ief. See that they make no deviations toward one side or the other. See that the shoulder blades are in a like position and not project ing too much. Look also rt the ribi, especially where they are attached tn front. It is well to have the seemingly healthy childr,". gone over by tho family physician once In awhile to see that growth is progressing as it should. If the spinal curvatures and the hip" Joint troubles are discovered early great suffering and the attend ant deformity can be avoided. These diseases, which cauBe the greatest part of the deformity of childhood, are insidious in their approach and are often not detected until their ravages have progressed to such a degree that their remedy ls difficult, even if possible.-Philadelphia In quirer.
