SALLIE'S KISS. And lia vc so many years gone by since she and I \v*re young. And skies were blue, and earth seemed new, and Love its rondels sungT It seems today I bear lier sing as plain as once I heard Sweet "Aiton Water" and "Ben Bolt" and "Mag gie"-every word ! And how her eyes grew softer, and bow hope sprang elate, Fer life meant bliss with Sallie's kiss down by the farmstead gate. The moonlight on the fodder fields sUU shines aa bright as then, The plaining of the whippoorwill yet rises through the glen. And I suppose that lovers ike to Unger there as we.

Where life was Mips for Sallie's kiss down by thc farmstead gate? The world is filled with prosy things; there's little left to cheer; Cray hairs tell plain thc time to h>ave off cakes ami alo is hero, Yet something of my youth returns when think ing how I hung fpon the word.s of Sallie there-"when you and I were young;" And, little one. how much I'd give to take from time ?md fate One night pt hliss with Sallie's kiss down hy thc farmstead gate! -Will T.

Un and down the gangplank surged a moving throng-stewards luden with hand baggage, trucks piled with steamer trunks, girls in seagoing costume, with their arms tilled with roses and faces bright with'anticipation; older women with 8ob*?r countenances, speaking se riously to grown sons and daughters who were to be left behind; business men looking Important and college graduates still core free and intoxicat ed with their newly found liberty. It was a motley crowd, pushing, chat ting, laughing lu the bright June sun shine. The gong sounded for the last time, the stewards rushed about, shouting "All ashore!" and the linal messages arose in chorus. Slowly the great ship swung around, and the cable loosened. The faces on the dock were gradually lost in a confused i-euse of color. "Wo are really off, auntie," said a girl's voice gay ly. "Now, don't cry, for you know you are delighted to go. Uncle Tom will be all right without you. Indeed, I've no doubt he will en joy himself hugely." tfke laughed mischievously and put her arin around her portly companion, who sniffed audibly behind her handkerchief. John Towner, who was standing by, glanced nt the pair as they disappear ed in the cabin. "Pretty girl," he murmured as he chose a cigarette. "If she were only Priscilla, now, what a heavenly time we would have." He sighed pensive ly. "However, there's no use wasting wishes over that, and I suppose I'd better be getting my seat at the table." As he took his place In line In the dining saloon the same pretty girl stood near him. She stood so near, In fact, that as he gave the steward his card her eye fell upon lt as lt lay on the table. A look of bewilderment and in tense embarrassment crossed her face; she ?ushod painfully and glanced In voluntarily at him in evident distress. Towner stared back at her in aston ishment. In an Instant she recovered her composure, drew herself up haugh tily and turned away. "What In the name of common sense was the matter with her?" he muttered asjhe sought his stateroom. "I never laid eyes on her before, and why she: should be so awfully upset on seeing me, or, rather, on seeing my name, J pass?s me." . .4 ?. He sat down on the edge of his berth to think lt over. , He was perhaps un used to the ways ?bf the. w^ ld, still he had had four years at cor' ige and flat tered himself that he knew, something Vj&??Gtety'. But this experience -was a new ono to him. He felt strangely flat tered by the unknown's mysterious knowledge of his name. " "She will probably sit near me," he thought, "and I will find out what the trouble ls." It was with undue baste that he sought the table at the first sound of the gong, but his eye searched in vain the faces of those nearest him. Evi dently she had given the steward par ticular Instruction to put her seat, as far as possible from the one labeled "Mr. John Towner, BIloxI, Miss.," for he finally discovered her at the ex treme limit of the room. The third morning was bright and sunny, and the decks were crowded. "Where shall I put your chair?" said & despairing voice at Towner's elbow. "The steward has disappeared, and there Isn't an empty Inch of room." "Allow me!" he exclaimed, inwardly rejoicing as he seized the steamer chair. "There's a nice elieltered pince just around the corner." And hrt-led the way. "Thank you so much," said the aunt, sighing, as she dropped heavily Into the comfortable seat as he settled lt. "I still feel the effects of yesterday's illness. Priscilla, dear, can't you find a place too?" The girl flushed again and turned ab ruptly away. "Thank you, auntie, but I am going for a book," she called back over her shoulder. Towner tucked the r<ig snugly around the elder lady's feet. "Might I bring my chair, too?" he Inquired, with becoming meekness. "It ls so pleasant here.** "By all means," was the gracious reply, and In a moment the two were engaged In conversation. ^That's a most charming young man, ray dear," said Mrs. Hunter com placently as abe smoothed her hair for luncheon. "His ?ame ls Towner, and he ls from tho south. He has grad uated from Cornell and ls going abroad on a business trip. He ls engaged to . a Vassar girl, a Priscilla somebody., I told him yoirSvere at Vassar and must know her, aa she Is a junior too." "Oh, yon told' bim I most know!" re peated her niece. "Certainly I did. ? He ls anxious te meet yon, and aa he ls engaged 'of course lt la all light for yon to know bim. Indeed, I told him I boped we should soe n great deal or nun. tie r really delightful, aud ifs so couveulent to have some oue to lix your ehair aud ruu errands, you know." Priscilla groaned. "Well, auntie, you've done it this time. Mr. Towner is the one mun in all the world I . ould have avoided. I can't tell you tho story-it's a secret-but lt's about the girl he ls engaged to, and it Is going to be very embarrassing to me." "Dear me, Priscilla, how I do wish you bad only told me before!" said her aunt complainingly. "Your habit o? reticence is most annoying. I've asked him to change his seat to the one next you at table, and he Is going to. In deed, he rather suggested lt. So \v? will have to see him all the time." "Never mind, amitie; ifs Nemesis, that's all." said her niece, with oahu despair. That Towner felt the frigidity of the atmosphere as they met at luncheon was inevitable. Hut with a cheerful resolution lu? set himself to overcome Miss Barton's opon dislike. His tact, his gayety, his avoidance of all dlfli eult subjects and. above all. the utter absence of questions from his conver sation gradually thawed the chill of the girl's manner, ami by the next day she was almost her own bright, easy self once more. A light rain now set lu, and Mrs. Hunter was kept in the cabin for sev eral days hy fear of rheumatism. Pris cilla, however, and Towner sat in their cozy nook on deck and enjoyed it after youth's reckless fashion.. Suddenly the moment came so dreaded by the girl. "Mrs. Hunter tells me you are from Vassar, Miss Harton, and I want to ask you about Miss North. As she ls in your class you must know her, and, ns your aunt has probably told you, I am engaged to her." "In that case, Mr. Towner, you must know ber far better than I," replied Priscilla, smiling eoiistruiuedly. "Miss Barton, please don't thluk it queer, but I want to tell you a secret. You have heen so kiud to me and have such a-well, almost a sisterly way of treating a fellow, If you will excuse ruy sayiug so, that I kuow you will ad vise mu what to do. Indeed, it seems as if my meeting you were really prov idential." "Don't you think, Mr. Towner, that you would much better not tell me. You see, I am n stranger to you, and iu a week we shall separate and probably never meet nguiu, and then you would regret having coutided in me. Oh, I am quite sure you would better not! ' "1 know lt would seem foolish under other circumstances, Miss Harton, but when 1 tell you the story you will un derstand my anxiety, if you will allow meV" Ile leaned eagerly forward, ami Pris cilla dropped her eyes in confusion. Taking ber silence for couseut, lie be gan: "You see, it was this way: I'm an only child, and I've seeu little of young people. I had a tutor aud never went to school until 1 came uortli to col lege, and you eau Imagine it was ra til er au ordeal to be thrown sudden.y among so many men. I kept rather to myself and didn't meet many fellows. There was one man there, however, who was very good to me. His name was Hal Somers." Priscilla turned her head still f urtlier away and picked nervously at the fringe of ber steamer rug. "One day," continued Towner, "he brought me the photograph of a pret ty girl. It was ene of those soft, rath er indistinct pictures, like a composite, you know, only lt wasn't one. It had such deep, beautiful eyes and such a way of seeming to look a fellow right through that it made a strange im pression on me. It was bf Hal's cousin, a girl at Vassar, Priscilla North. Well, before I knew where I was he got mc into a correspondence with her bj sending messages first and then notes I never wrote-to a girl before, but ll all-girls write as she does they are s bright set Why, Miss Barton, her let ters'fairly scintillated! And no twe were alike. There was the charm of it ' Tn'ey were 'from grave to gay, fro rr lively to severe,' only, all were si m pl j exquisite. No wonder. I fell in love 'with'.her! Well,'tb make a.long storj short, we became engaged, aud then naturally, I wanted to see her. Ant here the strange part begins. I can not meet her. I am never to see her.' "That ia-rather, peculiar"- mur mured Pr lac illa. "Peculiar? It's unaccountable! Sh? says she ls forbidden. to make ac qualntances by her grandfather, witl whom she lives, so i can't go to th? college. At the end of the term sh? rushes off west-she lives in Wiscon sin. And In vacation she travels And here I am In the ridiculous posl tion of being engaged to a girl I've nev er seen. Now, Miss Barton, I beg yoi to tell me all about her. You knov 'aer, of course." Towner leaned his head on his Lout and gazed earnestly at the girl. Sh< slowly turned her eyes from the hori zon and bent them on him with a trou bled expression. How handsome h? looked with that eager face; how bli hair curled lu thc little damp ringi about his temples! She turned awa; again. "Mr. Towner," she began nfte a pause, "I cannot say that I d< know Miss North. I-I would ratho not talk about It," she ended abruptly Towner stared at her. "Why, wha can you mean?" ho said incredulous ly. "Surely you must know her! Who possible reason cnn there be for you silence?" Priscilla still hesitated. Then, 6ud deniy turning impetuously to him, sb said, with little gasps between he sentences: \ "Mr. Towner, you will never, neve forgive me, but you ought to knox ' the truth, and I suppose I must be th one to tell. you Hal Somers ls m cousin. That was a composite phot< graph, touched up so it looked like a ordinary one. And there ls no Prit cilia North! I've been dreadfull ashamed of the part I've had In lt al though it waa only lending half m name and copying the letters for th girls, so they would all be in one bane writing. After all, I'm glad of chance to end lt I don't ask yon t forgive me, for I suppose you can' bnt I do want to say I'm heart il ashamed and sorry." Towner bad turned very white. "I don't understand," he said, slov .ly, at last "Somers la your cousli bat yon did not write the letters." "He knew any number of the girls t college, bnt lt was In coming to see ru be suggested the Dian to the others.*! -, ? : ; . . . . > .- ' .. .

"You soe, Hal suggested that you needed to be educated to a knowl edge of women and from more than one side. Most men know lots of girls, you see. and you knew none, so these three said they would form a sort of prism, and you should see three sides of the ewlg-welbllche, you know." "I do know indeed," said Towner grimly. "I know more of women than I ever dreamed." "It was only a schoolgirl trick," pleaded Priscilla, "ami we never incant to burt you. We thought you would really bo amused when you knew" "Amused!" exclaimed the man with !in unniirthful laugh. . "You play with a man's liest feelings and expect bim to be amused! Those girls must be specimens of the 'new woman' I heard defined the other day. 'One who lind forgotten how to bu ti lady and not learned to be a gentleman.' " "I don't wonder yon feel so," said Priscilla humbly, and then there fell a long silence. When the gong rang for luncheon, Towner rose and bellied ber to ber feet in silence. "Aren't you coming down?" she in quired timidly. "Thanks; no. I've food for thought," he replied, lifting his bat .formally. j The next days were gloomy enough. | Towner seldom appeared at meals, and | when he did ho was taciturn. As Mrs. I Hunter talked incessantly she did not j notice lils silence, but Priscilla felt i cowed by it. "Gibraltar tomorrow!" called some one as they stepped on dock after din ner ou their last day. The girl Involuntarily glanced nt Towner, who stood near, and caught bis eyes fixed, on ber with a softer light than they had known. Her heart felt lighter. She had suf fered these past days from remorse. Mrs. Hunter went to her .stateroom to pack, and Priscilla stood alone near the bow of the ship. The air was soft and summer like; the moon shone bright and clear from a deeply purple sky. She turned at the sound of footsteps. Towner stood be side her. "Our voyage ls over," he said. "Are ] you going to make me any reparation ! for my wrongs2" "How eau I?" she Inquired faintly. "Y'ou have taken away one Priscilla from me. 1 loved her. I wns engaged j to her. Thc least you can do is to give ' j me another Priscilla in her place." "But you dou't know mo" I "I know you as well os I knew ber," j j be said firmly. j "But you corresponded with her," j she faltered. j "So I will with you." I There was a. pause. Towner looked I anxiously at the girl, who again will ? fully kept ber eyes averted. "But how can I make amends," she exclaimed nt length, "when there wah no other Priscilla at all?" "You can give me one now," be re plied, fondly laying his baud on hers as it rested on the railing. "Perhaps lt's my duty," she mur- i mured. "I'm sure it is," he replied, and kiss ed her.-Woman's Home Companion. Some ot Oar Wonders. "Returning to this country on a steamer, recently," says the Chicago News, "an American found himself besieged by a young Englishman, who was determined to find out as much as possible about the new world before the Bteamer landed. He had been warned to keep a sharp lookout for hostile Indians, who sneaked about the streets looking for a chance to pounce upon and kill unsuspecting foreigners and then make their escape by running around the colmer and posing quietly before a cigar store until the crowd . rushes on. "He then asked about crocodiles and If they could be found in large mun hers. The unsophisticated Britisher was solemnly assured that they were not so numerous In the Hudson river as they were some timo ago and that the most of them are found at Niagara falls, where the water falls 175 feet.

Mr. Harold Godwin, grandson of William Cullen Bryant, Ia the owner of Cedarmere, the poet's old home on Long Island. Among the fentures of the place are an old trout pond and a picturesque rustic bridge. Some mem . hers of the household last summer, so the story goes, were approached by an old mau who wanted to know If that was Bryant's home. "Yes," was the reilly. "Well, there's a rustic bridge around here I want to walk over and a trout stream I want to fish up," he added. He was told that he would be allowed to do both. "Do you know," he con I tiuued, "my father used to fish here with Bryant, nnd he said that those trout were what made the old mau famous. If bc bad a good catch, he'd get enough ideas to write for a mouth, and if he didn't-well, he'd just scratch his head and walk that rustic bridge all night and for many nights and not do a thing." "And you come here for Inspiration, I suppose?" said some ono. "Well, yes," was the hesitating re ply; "I've come to trout for a few lines. I don't expect to get' a Tbanatopsls, but If I catch a small sonnet it'll be worth while."

THE "GRAY FOX." General Chnrlo* Kluft'? Reminis cences ?f Major General Cro?le. Young ollleers frosh from West Point looked ut him lu wonderment. Instead of n somewhat unapproachable digni tary, lu preei.se uniform ami epaulets and embroidered sash and belt, they were welcomed by a cordial handclasp from a tall, bushy bearded man, with twinkling gray blue eyes, in an old slouch felt hat, dannel shirt, rough eauvas shooting coat and trousers und common soldier's boots. Generally his bea ni was tied up with string or red tape, the only use he had for that usual military Indispensable.

He ate only the simplest food. He never smoke?], lie hated wine. He wouldn't touch spir its, lie marveled that any man should. "It spoils his shooting," said lie. Ami our general was a capital shot. Ile could foot lt through an tdd fashioned quadrille or Virginia reel, hut nothing else, and would always get away on social occasions into the first obscure corner he could lind, ami then out would come tho old pack of canis. He rarely rend anything but nature's books, although he had a mathematical gift and not only stood well In sci entific studies nt the Point, as did Grant, but he helped along lils un mathcmatieal roommate, sheridan. Writing was something Crook abhor red. He could hardly decipher one of his own pages, and his letters and dis patches, like those of old "Hough and Heady," General Zachary Taylor, were generally pennell by some brilliant staff olficer. Children he loved and treated with a shy tenderness that was sweet to see, but he hud none of his own. Ills wife was a Maryland girl who won his heart during tho war days while her brother and other enterprising "robs" made way with his body, capturing him by a daring night raid into Cum berland. Like Grant, he was simplicity Itself lu speech, randy lifting up his voice, and only oucc did 1 ever hear him speak an Impatient word or one that faintly resembled an expletive, but that was in the thick of the Sioux cam paign of 1870 and when he had much to try him. Wo had to cat. our horses that year to keep alive. We had no tents, and hardly a change of underwear could be found In the whole column. We were wet, bedraggled ami dirty when we reached the Yellowstone, but tho general was ns badly off as the hum blest trooper and minded lt less. There we met the spruce command of Gen eral Terry, and Terry himself, in hand some uniform, the picture of the gen tleman and soldier, came over to our bivouac to call on Crook. I was dry ing my buckskins nt a fire as be ap proached and stepped forward to sa lute him. "Where shall I find General Crook?" said he. For a moment I could not.answer. Then an old trooper grinned and nod ded toward the river, and there, squat ted on a rock, well out In the stream, stripped to the waist and scrubbing away at his shirt, was our general, and Terry was too much of a gentle man even to look amused at the sight. Tho Indians called him the- "Gray Fox." The soldiers had their pet names, but we, his officers, who follow ed him all over the west, from tho Mexican border to the upper Yellow stone, spoke of him always as "the general," our general. That meant, of course, Crook, the simplest soldier I ever knew. In all the years lt was my fortune to serve under bim In Arizona, Wyoming, Dakota, Montana or at his headquarters in Omaha or Chicago, I never saw him in the uniform of his rank until he lay dead in his coffin, his guard of honor grouped about him. Youth's Companion. The Woolner of the Woodcock. The wooing of the woodcock Is one of those sights to witness which a lov er of nature in all its moods will make a journey of miles. The scene ls enact ed at twilight, and the setting !s of willow or alder bushes whose branch es are Just beginning to show the tender green of early spring. Sudden ly from the damp ground a bird form shoots upward like some swamp spirit until It ls outlined against the gray of the evening sky. Then it circles above the branches, and the song of the wooing begins. Hidden In the darkness of the thick lower growth ls tho object to which this love song ls directed. The bird above circles per haps a score of times, then drops back to the damp thicket, making a sound which can be likened only to the drop ping of water Into a woodland pool.

Mr. David T. Leslie, of Leslie sta tion, was in Yorkville on Monday aud Tuesday. Mr. Leslie is the author of the article on wheat culture recently published in the Enquirer, and which attracted attention not only in York couuty; but in many other counties of the State. Tho only unfavorable criticism so far as the reporter knows that anybody has seen lit to make, was a suggestion that perhaps in thc caso of a large grained wheat, half a bushel to the acre would he too little. The repor ter called Mr. Leslie's attention to this suggestion, and asked him for a j further expression on thc subject. Ile ' replied: "1 did im; attempt to go nito the j whole question because I do not be lieve people ave disposed to read long articles as readily as short om s. Hut when 1 said a halt'bushel to the aere j is enough, 1 said it ?ti the full knowl- ! edge ?hat it is more titan enough. Of I course, large grained wheat makes a j dill'crenec; but I do not know of any wheat in this Stutc, a half bushel of which would be too little to tow on an acre. "If you cared to print them all, I could give you numerous points to prove that a half bushel of seed wheat to thc acre is really too much. Hut I will only give you one instance. Down in our neighborhood, tu ?S'.IS, a young man named Trank Shillinlaw sowed j one bushel on three acres. The reason he did not sow more to tho acre, was becauso he did not have the seed nor thc means to get it. Ile made -IiiA ? bushels on his three acres-a better crop than was made bj' anybody else in the neighborhood. And lS'.UI was not a good wheat year either. "No," concluded Mr. Leslie, "tho question of how little wheat should bc sown to the acre is difficult to arrive at. 11 is hard to tell when you have a stand. I can easily tell when 1 have a stand of cotton or corn, but not so with wheat. I'll tell you this though; when you ride over your fields in Feb ruary or March and see your wheat so thick as to almost cover the ground, you maj* put it down that you are not going to make much of a crop. You have seeded too heavily."-Yorkville Enquirer. mt . mm - - Used By British Soldiers in Africa. Capt. C. G.

She writes: '* I have used Mother's Friend before two confinements. The last time I had twins, and was in labor only a few min utes. Suffered very little." The reason why Mother's Friend does expectant mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment, to be applied upon the outside, where much of the strain comes. It helps be cause thc pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. Thc sense of dread and foreboding is nol experienced, even during labor itself. Confinement is short and almost without pain. Recovery ts quick and sure.
