The Old Cream Jug.
"Oh mother," said Ruth Wallis,
"how I should like to go out and get
a few apple-blossoms."
"Stuff and nonsense." said the
Widow Wallis, austerely; "haven't
: you got work to do-milk to skim,
butter to work over, dishes to wash,
? and two dozen shirts just sent in from
the laundry to finish off before din
aer-time? Go about it at once and
don't let me hear any more folly
about apple blossoms."
For MrB. Wallie -belonged to the
working brigade of the world and
.did not believe in aesthetics of any
kind.
Buttercups and red sunsets and
. many tinted rainbows had always
been a standing problem to her, and
she could not understand how a man
of sense could possibly prefer golden
hair to red, or a daisy pink complex
ion to honest freckles.
. And her two elder daughters'
Naomi and Miranda Ann, agreed
with her entirely on this as on all
.other subjects.
But Ruth was different. Ruth
treasured ^r n^?S^apeiL. .rosebuds in
X surreptitious glasses of wate>r*??>K?d
\ qbszxff' seeds ' under the dairy win
dow, read poems in her own room
anet cried when the honeysuckle
vine was razed from before the porch
pillars. ,
"Hotting all the posts and harbor
ing earwigs and spiders," said the
widow, severely.
"But the flowers are so pretty,"
pleaded Ruth.
"Pretty," snorted the widow, as if
the- term were a synonym for all
absurdity and weak-mindedness. "I
do think, Ruth, you are almost a
fool."
So upon this golden May morning,
when the lilacs were nodding their
purple plumes and the apple-blossoms
spread their sheets of billowy pink
over all the orchards, Ruth was con
demned to milk-skimming in the dai
ry and the finishing of the shirts in
the kitchen.
She was standing in front of the
milkroom window, busy with her
shining pans-after all there was a
certain poetry in the occupation
when all of a sudden a whiskered
and mustached face presented itself,
all framed in the casement.
"Goodness me!" cried Ruth, with a
violent stare which had nearly upset
one of the vessels, and then recover
ing her presence of mind she added :
"What do you want ?"
"I beg your pardon," said the ap
parition-and Ruth began to per
ceive that it had rather fine eyes
and was no longer a very young ap
parition-"I am afraid I startled
you."
"Yes, you did-rather," admitted
Ruth. "But if you're a tramp,
Til ea se. go on. for we never give to
tramps. And if you're a sewing ma
chine agent, or anything of that sort,
it's of no use. And"
"You are mistaken." said the own
er of the dark eyes, with a comical
curl of his lips. "I am none of these.
I am-in the china business."
"Oh," said Ruth, beginning to
comprehend "Vases, and little dogs
and parrots, for cast-off clothes. But
we wear all our things out, and
mother makes rag carpets of them
afterward."
"Very laudable of her, I am sure,"
nodded the stranger. "But-may I
ask what you will take for that twist
ed cream-pot on the shelf ju&t over
your head ?"
Ruth glanced up with startled
eyes.
"It was my Grandmother Crocus',"
said she; "and it's so old-fashioned
we never use it. Mamma keeps rad
ish seed in it."
"Exactly," said the stranger. "It
is very old, and that is the reason I
want it."
Ruth thought of the men who had
been reported as traversing the coun
try In search of antiques, old furni
ture and articles of vertu. Could
this be one of them?
"It's mine," said she, coloring deep
ly. "My grandfather Crocus left it
to me in his will." ,
"Wouldn't you h rher have ten
dollars to buy yourself 9.new hat?"
said the stranger, coaxingly
"Oh, a- thousand tir.--. } cried
Ruth, eagerly.
"Thenit is a bargain, ' said the
gentleman, taking out a-pocket-book
which seemed to b*7 ' perfectly apo
plectic with bank notes.
"No, it isn't," said Ruth. "I-I
couldn't sell it, indeed.
"Ah," said the stranger : "perhaps
here are old family associations con
nected with it?"
"Oh, no. I never saw my grand
mother Crocu3," Ruth replied, rath r
bewildered.
"Say twenty," said the stranger,
coaxingly.
"It's no use," declared Ruth ; "I
cannot sell it."
"You are devoted to old china,
then ?"
The face came nearer, the eyes
sparkled as if their owner was con
vinced that he had found a kindred
soul.
"I hate it," said Ruth.
The dark eyes recoiled a pace or ;
two,
"Then you'll let me have the old '
cream-pot for twenty dollars?" said
he, persuasively. (
But Ruth would only reiterate
> with downcast eyes and deepening
blushes: ^
" I cannot sell it."
Mr. Wyn?eld Napier walked away, f
pulling his long mustache, and *
pondering over the piece of old En- c
<dish ware which had so attracted his
fancy. j
"I'll sit down formally before ^at
cream-pot," said he. 'TU besiege it.
It shall be mine, or I'll know the
reason why."
Foi Mr. Napier was a connoisseur
in ceramics, and the moment his idle
glance, cast upward through Mrs.
Wallis' milk- room 7 window as he
drank a glass of water at the well?
had fallen on the piece of old En
glish china, his soul had coveted it.
"I've just a month to stay here be
fore I must be back in my din?y old
law office again," meditated he. "A
man can do a great deal in a month."
And he set himself regularly to
work to win the treasure which he
yearned for so deeply.
Day after day he strolled to the
oid iarmhouse, now with this excuse,
now with that, a handsome, courtly,
middle aged man, whose] winning
manners would have attracted any
one, and who^was as much'at home
under the white-washed ceiling of
the Widow Wallis' best room as in a
mansion.
One day he spoke of the old cream
pot.
"Ruth's cream-pot!" said Naomi,"
the elder sister, a hard-featured, loud
voiced spinster of nine-and-thirty
.'Wasn't it a strange provision of
Grandmother Crocus' will that Ruth
nev. r can part with that old piece of
.cracked absurdity, unless"
N^Naomi, hush!" and Ruth had
<-pru^?-~across the rooo> and laid her
hand on "ne? sist8r 8liPs' witl1 N^ng
eves and co1?r 35 l*eeP 8,8 one ?^ ?er
own TOaid??t^geranium8. "Our family
affairs shalTnot be talked of to stran
ge"."
"Am I a stranger?" said Mr. Na
pier, gravely. "I am sorry for that."
"I-I didn't mean quite that," fal
tered Ruth, "only-only-Naomi,
please to remember that this is never
to be spoken of.
"Dear me!" said Naomi, bridling
up. Here's a pretty how-to-do about
an old cream pitcher."
That self-same evening Mr. Napier
followed Ruth out in the garden,
where she had gone to water her car
nations.
"Ruth," said he, "are you deter
mined not to tell me the secret of the
cream-pot?"
"Yes," said Ruth, resolutely.
"Not to let me have it OD any
terms?"
"Please, Mr. Napier," 6aid Ruth,
'Don't ask me. I cannot."
"Well, then," said Mr. Napien
"here is yet a third demand. If I
can't have either secret or cream
pitcher-can I have you?"
"Me!"
"Yes," said the staid lawyer, with
strangely-softening eyes. "Dear little
Ruth, I have somehow lost my heart
to you these last three weeks. I can't
go back to the old life without you.
I am not a young man, but I have
never loved before, and"
"But," interrupted Ruth, with
mantling cheeks and a quiver in her
voice, "am I good enough?"
SBy way of answer he tooi? t.. im.
I} ?i,_i t i .^l--'"TyrtJr int a ko*
fatie, and to Ruth Wallis it seemed as
if a whole paradise had opened to
her in that moment.
"Here it is," said Ruth, witn glis
tening eyes and smiling lips. "The
old cream-ritcher, dear Wynfield."
The ceremaniac forgot even true
love in the fascinations of the piece
of old English ware that Ruth laid in
his lap.
He took it up with a loving touchy
"But I thought it was a decree of
the Mede3 and Persians that you were
not to part with it?" said he.
"You didn't understand," ' sa'd
Ruth, coloring radiantly, "I was never
to part with it-so grandmother Oro.
cus' will said-except to my hus
band."
'.Why didn't you tell me so be
fore?"
"So that you might have taken me
for the sake of the old cream pitch
er?" said Ruth, a little piqued.
He drew her gently to his side.
"My own darling," said he, "I love
you better than all the old china in
the world."
Which was a great admission for
Wynfield Napier to make.
A month later there was a wedding
in the village church, and after the
wedding came the wedding breakfast,
and not a few of the guests wondered
that the center ornament of the table,
on such an auspicious occasion, should
be an Old P-rno-m j ,fn _
A DEFINITION OF AN EDITOR.-!
We have seen many definitions of
many names, words and phrases, but
the following of an editor, given by
Josh Billings, is about the best we
ever yet encountered:
An editor is a male being whose
buziness is to navigate a nuze paper.
He writes editorials, grinds out poe
try, inserts deths and weddingp, sorts
outmanuskipts, keeps a waste basket,
blows up the "devil," steals matter,
fites other peoples' battle??, sells his
papers for two dollars and fifty cents
a year, takes white beans and apple
sass for pay when he kan git it, razes
a large family, works 19 hours out ov
every 24, knows no Sunday, gits
dammed bi everybody, and once in a
while whipt bi sumbody, lives poor,
dies middle aged, and often broken
hearted, leaves no money, iz rewarded
for a life ov toil with a short but free
obituary puff in the nuzpapers.
Recently while walking through
Dogan Square, a melancholy individ
ual with an umbrella and a wart on
his nose, approached and said:
"Stranger, do I look's though I be
longed lo the whiskey ring?"
We thought not.
"Do I look's though I stole little
1 Ross?"
We said "No."
"Do I look's though I busted up
Bell Gate?"
He didn't.
"Then, stran.-er, gaze in these pen
sive eyes, and tell me-oh, tell me
ruly-what's the state of your finan
?ai condition?"
We told him.
"Do you think ten cents'd break j
'on?" I
We thought it would.
"Then, s'ranger," he said, go back
to your mucilage and shears, for I
recognize in you a brother editor."
