, Till: NECKTIE PARTlf,
BY ELLA II. GITTIN08.
Ono Saturday afternoon in October
four Swaleville boys stood on the Willamette
Kiycr bridge in earnest conversation.
These boys represented, at least In
their own estimation, the aristocracy of
Swalevilic.
The eldest, a boy of seventeen, waa
Percy Drake, whose father kept the
Drake Hotel, and was a man of consequent^,
Ben Tyndal's father had a general
merchandise store adjoining the
hotel. <'HarveV Ballatd was th6 editor's
son. But the crowning aristocrat of them
all was Clinton McKinsey, a new-comer
in Swaleville.
It was his father who had mysteriously
arrived limthc town, as mysteriously purchased
the worthless farm of a . shiftless
fsrmcr nouied Pete Morlcy near by, and
afterward laid it out in building lots,
ending." it "McKinseyV addition to
Svyaleville.;"
1st, had afterward turned out that he
had got wind of and anticipated the
building of a railroad to Swaleville, and
his timely purchase made him a person
of importance.
In the business development of the
place which followed the news of the
coming of the railroad, the improvement
and embellishment of the *' church house,1'
which served as a place of worship
and general assembly for all the religious
denominations, might have been
neglected if tin? ladies had not taken it
in hand. They began a scries of fairs
and festivals io raise money to paint and
refurnish the uusightly building.
Swabvillc had never known such a
found of gaiety as it had now. At first
the people gave liberally, but when all
the new and taking things in the way of
entertainment seemed exhausted, the
"two-bit pieces" eame reluetantly.
At this discouraging juncture Misa
Cat lisle, the popular village schoolraisfd-Ssiolfcred
lo help the ladies get up a
,jfST<jpkti?'\Socdal." k It was arranged that
who attended should bring a
hSkjlit wo, and enclose it in a duplicate
of the tic which she wore.

once, and the flagging interest of the
people in the reconstruction of the church
'W?u?fe'iVtVived.

leVplan. That counted for much,
o Vlie boys on the bridge were talking
'*<? >t Ifis party.
"Yes, of course we'll go," said Ben
4<nnItT I hnno thft hiHHinrr won't

. I'll risk that," said Harvey. "Father

hfione'y. tvery one wants to pay subfcfr?|Mio?k

or apples." :
"If i, could lind qut which was Miss
Carlisle's lunch, I'd pay five dollars be(foaq
let any one el>e get it," said
C'iinton McKinsey.
'"Bo would'I," said Percy Drake. "It
r^ould be. mpoey in their pockets to lei
tjjr' catb.at of Uie bay about her baskel
some way. There'dbe some lively bidding
if t'was known."
"That's the trouble with this sort o|
thing. Nobody knows, and everybody
goes-*nVl 4he- riffraff. Fancy n fellow's
1 having jto lunch with one of the Glass
'-girls, fyr instagpei It takes one's appe.

it'liritou'a nose went up in air.

A chorus of laughter followed this
suggestion. Hetty was the very unattmctiyo^nd
very-.uncultured daughter of
:tlie worthtpss I'cte M?>?ley.
' Oh, she won't be there," said one.
"I'lh not So sVirf of "it. ' If she geta
it-through her head what it's t6 be likeand
could make a raise of corn bte*d htia
bacon enough for a lunch, I think she*d

"She might stew one of those big
pumpkins in her father's late cct-n-field,
Tlxy reserved the. crop when fatjici
bought the place," said Clinton.AfcKin
scy?- ... , * ..
' Hello!" cried Hen. "Here come;
Mark Gruimis. Wonder if he's going
too?" '
"With Hetty?"
"In his overalls!" .
' I say, boys," said Perry, hurriedly,
and Lowering- his,voire, "I've an idea foi
a refculan lark!. It's about Mark and
Hclty, and "tKe'pumpkin comes in. Yor
keep still, or else fall in with whatl say,
when becomes along. I'll explald af
terward."
"All right!"
Mark Grannis's father,was Hostler and
man of all-work at the Drake Hotel. Hie
mother took tin. washing. Mark's social
.Istahdtfig was decidedly low ; but he led
his class in school, and the "upper ten"
were A little jealous of the kindneai
,whi<Tf Mi/ts Carlisle always showed h(tn.
What teacher fails to appreciate n bright
ami caiflcafc scholar,.even though he ii
clad in overalls! '* . ?
"Hollo, Mark! Going to the necktie
party?"
Mark shook his heail, and was passing
on when Percy railed out:
"What's your hurry, old boy? Can't
you take time to be sociable once in a
while? Because you beat us all at school,
you needn't put on airs outside, eh?"
Mark had an uneasy suspicion that
Percy was making tun of him. Still, in
spite of misgivings, the unusual tone ol
comradeship warmed his heart."
Why not gor* asked Ftepy. f r ' "]
"Oh, I doh't know. I g??? I d011'
wffat to." ' '
"Come now, there s no use of a smart
fellow like you making a hjmflfc of
himself. All of the other fel^-w^ are ,
! 8?"Comc now, Ray you'll go?just to
please us'" said Ben. "We're ff** *
try for Miss Catlisle's haaket, and the
lucky fellow has to stand treat. we
shall not know ber basket, ofcourae.
-tzsmtr*Mark
nodded, and a sudden light came
into his eyes. To him Miss Carlisle was
almost an angel. The thought of her
awakened all the manhood in his
breast.
"See here, boys," he said bravely,
"what's the use of my pretending to you
this way? You know as well as I do
why I can't go. J haven't money to buy
anybody's lunch. Besides, my clothes
aren't fit."
"Pshaw! Lots of the fellows will
wear just their every-day clothes, and
maybe you can earn two bits between
now and Thursday."
"If I can, I'll go!"
"8ure?" i
"Yes, sure. I've got two bits now,
but I wouldn't like to go to a place liko
that with less than four bits."
"Give us your band on it."
Mark went on his way in a strange
tumult of feeling. What did it mean*
Perhaps the boys were not 60 bad at
heart as he had thought. *v
"NW tell us wnat you're up to,
Percy," 6aid Ben, as soon as Mark was
out of hearing.
"What Clint said about the pumpkin
made me think of it. You know how
the boys bother Mark about Betty? He's
sensitive to ridicule, and if you want to
make him angry, ask him about his
friend Betty. Now, I mean to get Betty
to go and take a raw pumpkin for her
lunch, and we'll fix it so Mark will bid
it of! and get her tie."
"Will she do it?"
"I'll make the thing work some way.
You'll 6ee."
Before the boys left the bridge the details
of the plot were carefully planned,
and they parted in high glee.
As the last boy vanished from sight,
there was a rustling in a thick clump of
willows that grew on the river-bank
close by the bridge, and Miss Carlisle,
with botany-case in hand and a queer
Bmile on her face, stepped out from their
leafy cover, and walked -quickly up tho
bank. .
So mysterious were tho preparations
that went on the next week that one
would almost thrink Christmas was at
hand. Each lady wanted broutdo her
her neighbor in the tasteful arrangement
i of her lunch, and at the same time keep
her secret. i.-. . The
hoys' plot throve welt Betty,
through Clinton's skilful diplomacy, was
induced to go to the festiva' and send a
pumpkin for her "lunch."
As good luck would have it. Miss Carlisle
gave Mark an errand to do for her
in the country,-for which shp paid him a
half-dollar. It rnig^l .have, .Lago pure
accident that*she paid him the'money iu
the presence of Percy :Drekfc, J'
Another
"school to wore!!??1
pupils were out. Once, onlieairlug footsteps,
she slipped ft quickly in her desk
without covering it.
A short time afterward; she sent Clinton
McKinsey to her desk to get a book.
He had the 'lid. half raised when she
stepped forward te intercept him. It
was too late!- He hads?en*the basket; and
noted the necktie of fringed white
Bilk which lay upon it.
There was no danger that Clinton
would not keep the secret. He even
went so far in his self-conceit as to suspect
that she wished that he. should
know which was her lunch!
The eventful ovening arrived. The
church house was filled to its utmost capacity.
The hoy conspirators sat on a
front seat with their unsuspecting victim,
"Mark Granpis, in the midst. His
eyes sparkled, and his cheeks gloWed
with excitement,, for the faux hoys
seemed bent on nothing else than making
him have a good time,
i Such unwonted comradeship was in;
toxicating to him. He forgot all about'
darned and threadbare best suit, especially
after Miss Carlisle came in, and
smiling brightly at the group q| boys,
took a seat facing them, in the "amen

which a white silk tie showed very
plainly. There were white chrysanthemums
in her belt, and her hair glistened

He even forgot to be annofed when
Ben TJpdal nudged him significantly as
jJieUy.Moriey came in. Betty was never

a seat as near as possible to Miss Catlisle.

at his own voice. There was no

The boys in the plot were squeezing
their lips together hard iirtheir effort to
suppress their laughter. Mirk had fallen
into the alot more readily than they expected.

As Mirkxtook the clumsy parcel in
his hands, th&tapo slipped, and one corner

turned It wai a
cruel hoax, planned by those boys, whom
he had been silly enough to trust. He
bad a mad impulse to turn and hurl the
pumpkin their heads; but Miss Carlisle
was looking at him.
The color surged back to his face,
and tearing the wrapper entirely away,
he strode back to his scat, holding aloft
his yellow prize With a forced laugh.
The necktie 1" shouted some one
from the crowd.
'Yes, the necktie! Show us who
likes raw pumpkin."
Miss Carlisle left her seat and came
toward them. The crowd fell back n '
little. 8ho did not speak to Mark, but
stood near. It was enough. It kept up
his fast-failing courage. .
Mark raised the pumpkin from the
plate. No tie was there.
Percy and his companions began
to f?el TftTCTsjr?-Had- -Betty been? too
stupid to put her necktie into the
pumpkin.
"Hello, Mark! jour pumpkin's cracked
clean across," said sorao one.
Mark looked.. It was not a crack, but
a cut. A piece had been taken from the ^
top to form a lid, and so nicely adjusted
as not readily to be seen. He
took hold of the stem and lifted the
cover.
A shout went up from the crowd.
The pumpkin had been hollowed out,
lined with tissue paper and packed full
of lunch; and on the very top, resting
on a folded Japanese napkiu, lay ja
dainty necktie qf fringed white silk I %

Carlisle's tie was tound in the pumpkin;
so shsorh?d was mary one in Mark's
unexpected turn of fortuue. Yes?one
other saw it, and saw the look of rage
that crossed his face, and the consternation
of his companions when Betty
Morley's green cambric duplicate bow
was found inside his costly purchase.
Miss Carlisle saw, and stood close by his
side when he cast the green tie to the
floor, saying, "I'll never do it, never I
I'm going home!"
"Gentlemen don't break their bargains,"
she said, quietly. "Every gentleman
who purchased here to-night,
accepted, in so doing, the conditions of
the sale. Take my advice, Clinton, and
make the best of what you think a poor
bargain."
She moved away to join Mark, and

It was a goodly store that this homely
fruit yielded; Delicate sandwiches tied
with blue ribbon, slices of cake, oranges,
bananas and luscious grapes. Mark sat
like one in a beautiful dream, listening
to Miss Carlisle's cherry talk, and feeling
sorry from the bottom of his heart
fdr poor Clinton, who, in an obscure
corner, was laying slices of corned beef,
gingerbread and pumpkin pie before
the delighted Betty, but tasting nothing
himself.
In the very bottom of his basket Clinton
found a card, upon which was written,
in a hand well-known to Swaleville
youth:

The manufacturing of food and patent
nedicines for the aristocratic dog is ono
>f the few industries not as yet overcrowded.
The dog's "Delmonico's," as
it may very appropriately be called, has
dene business at the same stand for a
much longer time than its more dignified
prototype. Its glaring sign, more attractive
than artistic, covers the front of
a four-story brick building in an upper
East side street.
For nearly a quarter of a century
Sprat's factory has had a monopoly of
the making of dog food. Everything
that is made by the establishment is most
amply protected by patents. But so
great is the fear that some one will discover
the secrets of the establishment,
that it is only with the greatest difficulty
that nn outsider obtains a view of the
interior. The business is now conducted
by a limited stock company. From
twenty-flvo to fifty men are employed
four days in the week. Monday and
Tucsdavjof each week are devoted to sorting
the stock on hand.
It is really far from being a prepossessing
place. An odor, anything but
pleasant, greets the nostrils of the visitor
entering on the ground floor. This is

The second floor is occupied by four
curious-looking machines having great
cylinder attachments. After some of the
men have carefully sorted 'the fat and
the meat it is ground up separately in
these machined into disagreenble masses.
After that it is placed into gi-eat wooden
tubs, where various piixtures are added,
""he cooks in this establishment are very
chary of telling you just what they put
in these tubs. The next process seems
10 much like the ordinary bakers' work
that one is qtiite disposed "to taste things,
*nd when the round and square cakes
have been placed in the brick ovens and
taken out a tempting brown, one is
really in sympathy with the aristocratic
dog. Having been properly cooled the
biscuits are taken to the next floor,
>\ here several "hsnds" are cmnlnrml lit
| .io nothing but pack them in neat pasteboard
boxes.
^ According to size these boxes are
labelled for pet dogs, for greyhounds,
for 8t. Bernards. Then there are specially
prepared dish.es for cats. The poor .
animal that has been the subject of so
much derision has been specially con-|
iidered, and sufficient of a specially prepared
food to keep her for two days may
be obtained for five cents.
But it costs a pretty penny to keep a
dog. A large dog must have six or
eight cakes, besides a quantity of meat.
The meat will probably cost ten cents,
the cakes four cents apiece. That makes;
$3_a week. There is the dog tax, and,
cost I2n^e^'Yr^"iBT^^o""ik(roOV'
There is a crate to send him to the dog
show, $14; a brush and comb, $4; ?
waterproof blanket, $00; a nieklcplated
slip, $10; a brass show-chain,'
$2.SO; a yard chain, $1. Then the dogj
must be housed, an amount of about
$100 to begin with, and $3 and $1 a
week afterward, will keep an ordinary
"400" dog in New York.
The most important department of all
is that of the patant medicines. Away
up at the very top of the building, removed
from the various odors, is the
office of the company. All day long the
secretary keeps the books and sends out
circulars to every one who has registered
a license for a dog.
Right back of the office, unreached by
the prying outsider save through the
office, is the medicine department. The
tnixiUFM Ql .herbs, and chemicals are
bollo 1 In great kettles and the liquid
brought up to this floor to be put in
bottles of various sizes and labelled cure
or mange, another a liniment for sprains,1
another to prevent baldness, or rather a
stimulant for the hair, which is the same
thing. It is quite astonishing to learn
that sure cures for seventeen diseases are
made. The wonder grows greater when
one remembers all the dogs one bar
known that were never treated for anything.
When they were sick they went
away and lay down in a cool place, having
eaten of some herb known to dogs,
and slept ^he illness off. But then, of
course, there were no aristocratic dogs.
They may have successfully herded
sheep or churned the butter but they'
never would have taken the prizo iu the
dog show.
Not only does this curious establishment
make liquid medicines, but pills,
and as a recent addition to the business
it makes dog collars and dog soap and
carrying QraUippiug .stoig,
dog brushes and combs, mackintosh
waterproofs, with hoods, for greyhounds,
and blankets.
For its out-of-town trade it makes
food which makes hens lay in dull
seasons, foods for pigeons and soaps for
washing the latter.?Neu> York Newt.

With the marriage at Steelville, Mo.,
of William J. D. Kelly to Miss Anna McDonald,
of Oakville, Canada, is connected
quite a romance. The groom is a
well known young man, living on a farm
with his widowed mother, well-to-do,
though deaf and dumb. A year or twe
ago he noticed in the papers a recommendation
of some kind of ear trumpet
by the above named young lady who ii
also a deaf mute. A correspondence ensued,
the tender chords of sympathy and
emotion were aroused and an engagement
followed. The heroic young bride left
. her far off Canadian borne to meet hei
distant amanced. ror six days and alon<
b* traveled, but emmo ?al?ly tbrough,
This was three weeks before the marriage,
and the intervening time wai
spent in forming each other's acquaintance
at the groom's home, with the re.
suit that the nuptials were celebrated
amidst the congratulations of a host o
friends.?St. Ixrnit Republic.

Manufacture of Walch Glasses.
In tho manufacture of watch glasses
the workman gathers with the blowing
tube several kilograms of glass. Softening
this by holding it to toe door of the
furnace, ho"puts the end of the tube into
communication with n reservoir of
compressed air, and a big sphere is
blown. It is, of course, necessary to
get the exact proportion of maMria! at
the commencement of the opotaljtan, accompanied
by a peculiar twist" of the
hand and an.amazing ekilfuiness. The
sphere ought to bo ..produced without
rents, and .in such dimensions that it is
of the requisite thickuess. Out of these
balls the workman cuts convex discs of
the required Bize. This is a delicate
operation. A ' tournette," a kind of
compass furmshod with a diamond in one
of its branches, is used. The diamond
having traced the circle the glass is
struck on the interior aud exterior sidos
.with a stick nud the piece is detached.
The discs, which arc afterwards traced,
are obtained very easily. They are seized
by the thumb, paiscd through the aperture
already made and detached by the
pressure of two lingers. An able workman
will cut 6000 glasses a day.

There is more catarrh In this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
bo Incurable. For a great many years doctors
{ironounced It a local disease, aud prescribed
oe&l remedies, and by constantly falling to
curs with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Ours,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo,
Ohio, la the only constitutional curs on the
market. It Is taken internally in doses from
10drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Pretty strong
reasons for trying Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh?
no matter how bad your case,'
or of how long standing. It
doesn't simply palliate ? it
cures. If you believe it, so
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for 50 c'ents, from
all druggists.
But- perhaps you won't believe
it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of Dr. Sage's Remedy will ?pay
you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can ? you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of
catarrh.
