agjggeagg sja*?BfesgBgja DREAM THAT GAME TRUE ; By A. Q. COOPER. ? Felix's back ached, for he was bent and old. Perspiration poured over his blaok face In little rivulets. His faded, patched hickory shirt was wet and streaming, sod clung tightly to his muscular body. He had been hoeing corn since early morning; he looked down the long row still to be hoed, and knew when he reached the end he was to turn and hoe the next row back, and so on endlessly. He glanced furtively up at the white fa!k*m house. Yes, the boss was sit ting on the shady porch; he dared not stop hoeing nor sit down. A flock of crows flew over the Held, cawing. The heat danced in shimmer ing waves across the corn; the chop, chop of his hoe beat In rhythm with the throbbing muscles of his aching WKL "Ole Boas wouldn't bleeve me 'f I said I'b sick," he muttered; besides, he was hungry?his empty stomach clamored for the corn bread wljth mo lasses, the chunks of fat pork and black coffee he would get for dinner. He couldn't afford to plead sickness. He was a man with a hoe, was Felix, but he had his dreams?and Nan ab sorbing ambition. He straightened up and wiped bis streaming face on bis clammy shirt sleeve; as he did so a carriage swept into view on the high way. It was drawn by a spanking team of bays, and driven by Jeff?an unbearable and stuck-up nigger, that's what he was! Didn't earn his ealt! Held his chin up and paid no attention to Felix's "good mawnin'." His brass buttons glittered in the sun and Felix would rather have worn his shining silk hat than a king's crown. The judge and Miss Elizabeth were In the carriage. . Miss Elizabeth waved * * * " ??J ? ? ? ? Uli lu.lf m iiimi auu ouuiuuuw uib ?mc\i less and the tiny blades of corn trembled In a vagrant breeze. Many times had Felix gone to the judge and asked to be his coachman. "What!" exclaimed the practical Judge. "Aren't you old Baxter's lazy Felix?" "Yas, Judge; yas, eah, I wuk fuh Mistah Baxtah?yas, sahl But I ain't lazy?no, sah!" ' "G'long off, Felix, g'long, g'long!" said the judge testily, waving him aside as he would a fly that annoyed him. Miss Elizabeth had stolen out as he Blunk away with his ragged hat in his hand ana his eyee Dent mooany on the ground. "Never mind, Felix, you Jist keep comin' and dad'll take you yet" So he had kept heart and held on to hie dream. He stood looking after tlxa carriage as it rolled along the hot road, saw it wind up the hill and dis appear^ the cool forest of oak. He was still leaning on the handle of the hoe gazing into space when Mr. Baxter called sharply from the porch; "Felix, get to work there!" And the chop, chop of the hoe went toiling on its way. Time came when the corn was higher than his head ?nd he could walk down the long, green aisles and ibe out of eight of the boss'. Time came when the proud Jeff was laid" low, for he lost his Job. and the Judge sent word to Felix he could have his place. He went to bed that night with a song in his heart No more would he hoe the corn; no more would he fol low the plow; tomorrow he would wear the blue suit with the brass but tons; tomorrow he would wear the shining hat?he would hold the reins and drive the beautiful bays for Miss Elizabeth and the Judge. When the morning came and the sun shone down on the Held of corn, it also shone across the transfigured face of Felix. He stood at the en trance of the cool forest, on his way to the Judge's house. He held the ragged hat in bis hands and wore the hickory shirt and patched overalls The chrysalis was full to bursting; the blue suit and shining hat were In sight; his feet trod the field ely lan, for hi* dream had come true. At Seventy-three. Seventy-three. Ah, how the 7ears are flying! It seems hardly a month from birthday to birthday. I remem ber to have heard my grandfather make this remark. I was a child then and the words seemed unbelievable. Tears afterwards, father, sitting by the fireside, used to express the same sentiment very frequently. I under stood It more perfectly by that time, for right In the thick of business strife the days were all tco short for me. But now that I've taken my place at the fireside, and the shadows seem to be lengthening, I understand to the full just how swiftly the years are dipping by.?Atlantic Monthly. Microbes. Microbes have been divided into two main classes?aerobic and anaerobic? the first growing best In the presence of air and the second growing beat In the substance and In positions to which free air has no access. Some of the first class, such as hay bacillus, grow best only with a eopious supply of air; some grow better when the air supply Is not large than when free air Is admitted. Some of t^ second class can grow In the absence of free air, but thrive more when some air is admitted. Others which are fully anaerobic grow only when free air or oxygen Is shut off. His Dally Supply of Cake. Wichita attorney is very fond , of * oertain kind of cake his wife Is ex pert at making. Recently she left for visit with her parents, and before going baked a large cake. She knew that If she left the entire cake where ' her husband oould find It he would Mt It all In one day, so she put It Into ft|oee and hid them in various parts of the house. Each day she writes her husband, and In the letter she tells him where he can find a fitoee of tho POLITICS ON p 7:55 By JOSEPH BARNHARDT. The members of the Commuters Crochet club were comfortably settlet in the facing seats on the 7:55 am were at work on centerpieces or ha crowns, for, as Mary Insisted, th< finished article might be used in elthei capacity. "Xltr r? 11 n lift a/1 f/* Vntrft n fvnmn f r\T t lingerie hat" she said, "and it was th< nicest thing, because whenever it go soiled she would just take a crochetec centerpiece and cover the wtfole thinj over and It looked as good as nev again.*' The other members decided that ii added greatly to the Interest of thfii work to have the result so varied ii its uses. If you liked to think you were making a centerpiece you might, or 1: you preferred a hat crown, you coulc think of it as that?it varied the mo notony in any case. Mabel was th< only one of the group who was not al together absorbed in the work at hand Hidden behind a newspaper in a cor ner by the window, she had not taker out her crocheting. "What's the news?** asked Sadie looking up from her fifth row. Mabel sighed and lowered the paper showing a flushed facet In which line: of worry were apparent "It'i mor? than I can do to follow these summei politics," she explained. "They an getting so involved that even th?or dinarlly Intelligent woman who wsfiti to have a working knowledge of whai is going on in New York state cai hardly make head or tail of them." "I knowMt," said Sadie. "I've onl] read the headlines lately and I don'1 believe I'll ever get the situatlor straight in my mind. Won't you tel US aDOUC n as lar as you uuuermam it r "Well," said Mabel, sitting on th< edge of h&r seat and speaking witt great deliberation. "It's this way: Sulzer and Whitman and HennessJ and Roosevelt and Hlnman all want tc be governor of New York. I thini that's right, but I'm not quite sure whether Roosevelt wants to be a ? much as the others. He'd rather be president In 1916,1 guess." "Five of them," said Sadie, counting them off on her fingers. "I shouldn't think Mr. Sulzer would want to be gov ernor again. He didn't have a verj good time when he was governor be fore, did he?" "Mercy, no," said Mabel, "but iw says the people call him and he can't refuse to run." "That shows a fine spirit, anyway,' said Maude. \ i . "It Isn't so hard for me to get the candidates in mind even If there arc several new ones every day," said Ma bel, "as it Is to keep the parties straight It must have been simple when there were just the Republicans and Democrats, or even when the Progressives started, but now there are the Progressive Democrats and Progressive Republicans and ever bc many combinations it seems to me. ] can't quite make out how th?y are different from each other." "Isn't there something they call 'Fu sion,' too?" asked the round-faced girl UUA1U1/* "Oh, no," said Mabel, "that's only In city politics and they don't count this year. It's only state." "Wouldn't it be awful If they both came at the same time Borne year?" said Sadie. "Perfectly terrible," said Mabel. The train stopped and the glrli rolled up their work. "I hope they don't nominate an; more candidates or make up any new parties before night," said Sadie, with a sigh. "It's such strenuous work tc keep well'Informed." This Matter of Love Letters. Any man may be pardoned for ask ing to be saved from his love letter*. And feminine love letters, if a shade less Incongruous, are equally, distress ing when exposed ,to the public gaze. Several batches are Just now being read out in court to eager Judges and juries, and we think the protest against this placing of intimate emo tions In the pillory will be universal. The Browning letters established a resectable nrecedent for this sort Of publicity, and recently Mrs. Parnell has chosen to follow this example. Some defense can be made for this baring of a great mind and heart, al ready, in large degree, the possession of the public. Yet a feeling of dis taste Is aroused In many readers even in such cases. When -we come to the reading in court of love letters written by unob trusive private citizens, the feeling of distaste .comes amazingly close to hor ror. Such a procedure may seem nec essary in the course of a litigation. But every onlooker, nearby and afar, feels a sense of outrage, and the self respect of the world suffers by Just bo much. How Immigrants Carry Money. . Immigrants that stream into New Yorfe frqm Ellis Island all have differ ent ways of carrying their money. The Irish Immigrant carries a canvas bag In which notes and coins are crammed together. The Germans wear a money belt, gay French and Italians carry brass tubes with screw tops wherein they keep their cash in 20-franc pieces. The Swede is sure to have an Immense pocketbook of cowhide that has been banded down from father to son for generations. The Slavs carry theli money in their high boots, along wltb a fork and spoon.
