? "LOVE ALL?" The Way the Garac 'Was Flayed In the Kentnoky Blue Qr&as Begion. By OEOBGE LmCOLN. Copvritf** t'}i Otorgo Lincoln. A j bronzed youth helping a blue habited girl mount her pony ja no uncommon sight on a bright morn ing In Kentucky, yet a certain lank farnjcr stood watching this particu lar douplo as they started gayly on their morning ride. He even shaded his eyes to watch them till they werd a mere speck on the horizon. Then he walked around the lona, low farmhouses till he came to the open pantry window where his wife was cooking. flating time is about here, Sa rah," ho said, with a jerk of his thumb toward the roadway Sarah deftly trimmed a pie be fore she assented. "What do you suppose her folks will say ?" continued the man. The pie came to the pantry shelf with a bang, and the worn in faced her husband fiercely. ''Don't you think our Loy is good enough for any girl living ?" she de manded. "Besides, Mr. Upton was a struggling young lawyer once him self. I don't think he'll interfere at all, and if my Robert is as good a husband as my man has been these 30 years they will be vory happy." The old man leaned through the window and kissed his faded Sa rah very tenderly. "He'll have a good wife if she is anything like you," he returned as his wife pushed him laughingly out and said, "What can you expect of young folks if old ones go on spooning alter 30 years of married life?" John and Sarah had given years of toil toward Robert Allen's educa tion. He had now been graduated from Harvard college and completed his law school course, and was at home on a last vacation before go ing into Lawyer Upton's office to commence practice. By his 6ide was Lawyer Upton's youngest daughter Ruth. She and an older sister had returned home with Rob ert under the chaperonage of a maiden aunt, who was o" her way farther south. The mothers of these young peo ple had been close friends in their school days, and even after mar riage took one to the north to be come a rich man's wife and left thc other at home a poor farmer's wife the friendship still kept warm. Mrs. Upton took Robert into her family during his school and college days, and so the children had grown up intimately. "Why are you so late every morn ing, Ruth?" Robert was saying as they ascended the hUl,'. **You never used to bo slow about dressing. We get started 20 minutes after the others every day." "Now, Bob, don't scold," rejoined Ruth. "You know you like this omart canter with me better than moping along tho road the way Harry Downs and Mary do. There they are now poking as usual." And she indicated a young couple with her riding whip and then brought it down sharply on .her pony's flank and tore down the bili at breakneck speed. The couple were soon overtaken, and as Ruth passed the young man she touched his horse slyly, and they galloped off together, leaving Rob to pull up by her sister. Mary Upter? was 25 years old; Ruth was 22. They were unmis takably sisters, yet very different in many ways. Mary's eyes were quiet, straightforward eyes, shaded by long lashes that gave them a dreamy look; Ruth's very lashes curled, and her eyes danced and twinkled, flash ed anger or melted with tenderness, exactly as her heart dictated. Mary's nose was straight and a trifle too sharp; Ruth's was an unmistakable pug. Their mouths and chins were alike-small, but firm The fourth member of the party was Harry Downs, a son of a wealthy planter. He was a blond giant, 30 years old and in love-with all wo- i men. Just now he fancied he would like to marry, one of the Upton I girls; he didn't mind which, so he . gave his devotion to either one that I seemed most likely to appreciate it. As he galloped away with Ruth he drawled good naturedly, "Mah horse 6eems to be going rather moro rap- . idly than 1 asked him, but I advise bim to respect your wishes, as I try to mansell." The whole party now cantered gayly along, running little im- j promptu races, laughing, singing and enjoying themselves as only healthy young animals can. They came after awhile to a small wood and turned off tho road at Rob's suggestion to try a little jumping. ; They made a convenient pile of . brush and spent a "half hour jump- ? ing it; in various ways, ten yard starts, standing jumps, etc. Rob's maro was a famour, hunter and it j ITOS play for him. Harry Downs' ? horse Was also used to such sport, 1 and Mary's, though a little green at it, WJIS a thoroughbred and required little urging to imitate the better trained animals. At last Rob tired of the brush and started off for a" gate in the dis tance. The others followed at a swinging lope. Rob's maro hiped Quietly up_to tho gate and apparent ly stepped over it. Harry's horse I took it with a rush, showing a clean six inches of daylight between his flying hoofs and the top rail of tho gate. Mary's little marc quivered and tossed her head nnd then leaped over as lightly as a cat. Poor Puck, Ruth's pony, refused point blank. "Don't give in to him. Bide back and mako him do it," shouted Bob. Ruth, angry and excited, swung Puck round and rode with him back to get a new start. Then she struck him repeatedly with the whip till ho was running, and so they came at the gate. I Puck quivered and paus ed, but with a jerky lift and with a wild cut she mado him jump. The jj'imp was high enough to carry him over, hut his heart waa not in it, his heels ticked the rail, hs struck the ground badly, turning his ankle, and horse and rider rolled over on the turf. Bob Allen and Harry Downs hur ried to the prostrate figures. Ruth lay still and white, and only moaned a littlo when Hob picked her up. Harry rushed away to a little stream for water, and by bathing her face and chafing her hands they brought her btick to consciousness. She sat up sobbing, "Oh, poor Puck, I ought not to have made you do it," and then quietly fainted away again. 'This won't do," said Harry, and, jumping on his horse, he assured them he would find a carriage if Bob would carry her out to the road. So Rob gathered up the forlorn lit tle figure, and Mary followed, lead ing the three horses. Harry was fortunate in securing a passing vehicle-a farm wagon with meal bags in it. Mary got in and received Ruth's unconscious form, while the farmer good natur edly agreed to ride Rob's horse and lead the others. At last they reached the farm house, and Bob took her carefully down. Her foot just touched thc wheel, and with a sharp erv she re gained consciousness and began to weep hysterically. "Oh, darling, don't," said Bob helplessly; "here's mother. Now you'll be all right." Buth clung about his neck, and th?.7 disappeared into the kitchen. Mary clambered down from the wagon as best she could and stood a moment with clinched? hands. "Rob loves her," she ?said under her breath, and then with shame in her heart she went to her sister and did all that could be done for her. By the time the doctor had made his visit she had so far conquered herself that she went to Rob, who was pacing the yard like a wild thing,' and told him in quite sisterly fashion that Ruth was not seriously hurtr. A sprained ankle and general shaking up was all. For the next few weeks Buth was an interesting invalid. Every morning Bob carried her out under the trees in the doorway and she held her court there. She insisted that Mary should ride vita one ? young man - each day, while the other staid at home and entertain ed her. This arrangement kept Harry Downs in a trying state of ' mind, for on the day he rode with Mary he longed to ask her to bo his wife, but the very next morning he spent with Buth, and she teased and petted him till he was sure she was the only woman to make him happy. The weeks went by swiftly and Buth gained steadily. One day Mary came home from her ride with Harry Downs, and coming round the corner of the house found Buth and Bot walking together, Ruth using Rob's arm for a crutch. They were so busy talking they did not notice her, and she hurried into tho house, stumbling over a book on i?iu threshold. She opened it mechanically and found the leaf turned down at Low ell's "Love." "So that is what they are discussing," she thought, with a bitter little laugh. Her feet carried her heavily over the stairs, and she felt worn and old as she entered her room. The evenings wove cool and were usually spent m the big living room, where a cheerful wood fire hurned in the big fireplace. On this even ing after supper Ruth occupied the couch, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen oat by the hearth, sho knitting a red stocking that was to delight some pickaninny's S?ul, and he with the evening paper spread before him. Bob and Mary were at the piano, and soon Harry Downs came in, was welcomed .by all and then sat down very near Buth. Rob selected song after song, and Mary sang them in a pure, sweet contralto. She was so placed that she could see Buth, and her mind wandered from the music co her sis ter's face. Ruth was looking up at Harry Downs and blushing brightly. He was talking low and earnestly, and she answered him at some length. Then ho leaned forward eagerly and took her hand for a mo ment'and then leaned bock and ap parently became absorbed in the music, i Ruth noticed that Rob appeared abstracted, and she finally told him he was selecting songs sho knew he particularly disliked. "Am I?" ho said quietly. i'Well, to tell you tho truth, my mind is? not on what J am doing. Mary," after a pmur, H ara trying to get up- my courage to ask ithe dearest little wo man in tho world to he my wife I'm afr ?id she doesn't love me, though, and I can't give her up wholly; so, like tho coward that I am, I just hover round her and V?itate. I've had . a great many opportunities in the 3act few weeks, but something in her manner repels me wnen 1 try to ask the question." Mary looked down helplessly, an swering not a word. "Wo have always been good friends, I think, Mary," the quiet voice went on. At this Mary raised her head and looked full into the honest face above her. Rob's fine eyes were full of a soft beseeching and a great love lurked in their depths. It seemed bitter hard to tho girl that she should be asked to act as go between in this matter. But she loved him enough for any sacrifice, and her an swer was quite steady. '"Yes, Hob, and' we always will be the best of friends. I will lot you know tomorrow," and she fled pre cipitately to a seat between the placid old people by thc siro. At bedtime Mary faced her task while the two girls were brushing their hair. "Ruth " she began, "are you in earnest?" "Yes, always." Ruth answered flippantly. "What about?" Mary put down her hairbrush and took her sister by the shoulders. "You are trifling with a good man's affection,'*, she began sternly. "In the afternoon you have a tete-a-tete with Rob and talk over love poems and lean on his arm. In the even ing you lounge on the sofa, and let Harry Downs hold your hand. Now, tell me what you mean." '"Yes'm," answered Ruth, with mock weakness, "I was going to, anyway, only you hurt my arm." Mary flung her away, laughing in spite of herself. 4<I don't mean to bo cross. Only do tell me honestly if you love Rob. Don't play with him, dear." "Yes," Ruth said slowly, with a wicked smile, "I love Robert, and I know he loves me. Why, he told me so the first time he came to Boston, when I war. 7 and he was 10, and my affection has not diminished a bit. But if you'd asked me if I loved Harry Downs I should have said "Yes," too, and he told me tonight what sort of girl he would like for a wife, and she has a pug nose and freckles and ugly hair like mine. I did intimate that I wouldn't mind if he came to Boston next summer. You see, Rob's a good enough fel low and all that, but he happens to like a girl with a straighter nose than .mine better than he docs me. He told me so the day we discussed love." Ruth had delivered herself of this speech so rapidly that Mary could only stand wild eyed and stare at her. Before she could frame a suit able reply Ruth was snoring osten tatiously. Meanwhile the same subject was being discussed by Mr. and Mrs. Allen. "Durned if I see what the young ones are up to," said the old man as he dressed a chair back in his coat. "Seems to be a game of love all/ as they say in tennis. I thought one time it was a sure thing between Ruth and Robert, but they change round so since the accident that X don't know what to think." 'Tm puzzled, too, John," said bis wife, "but Hob hinted to me tonight that somebody was going to answer him a mighty question tomorrow, so wo shall soon know. I hope ifs Mary." "I like the curly headed little bag gage myself." And, having had the last word, the old farmer left the argument. Next morning Mary was up early, and, knowing the habits Rob had contracted at college, which usually made him late to breakfast, she felt secure fn going out for a walk to calm herself for the interview which she feared and longed for. She had barely left the farm buildings be hind her when she heard manly steps and turned, surprised, to find Rob. "I've come fer ny answer, Mary, and my cowardice is gone. I must know the truth. I love you, dear. Will you be my wife?" And she answered him simply "Yes" at that time, though before they returned to the house both had explained and blamed themselves to their entire satisfaction. Expression "He's a Brick 1" The expression "He's a brick," which is now a family byword, is first found in Plutarch. The whole phrase is expressive of every form of admiration. The Spartans, quick witted and noted for their rep artee, were early trained in both schools. They were men of few words and fewer laws and embodied in short phrases their admiration, dislike or appreciation. Lycurgus was not only a man of few words, but quick action. On being asked "Should Sparta be inclosed?" an in vasion of tho enemy being expected during the time of war, replied, "A city is well fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick." A very clever story is told of the diplomatic mission from the court of Epirus. The embnssador, being shown over tho city by the king, cx rcssed surprse that no walls were uilt around Sparta, for its defense. "Walls 1" cried the king. "Thou canst not havo looked carefully. To morrow wo will go together, and I will show you the walls of Sparta." On the following dav the lang led his <mest to where his entire army .was drawn up. Pointing with great pride to the magnificent body of men, ho exclaimed, "There thou be holdest the walls of Sparta, and every man a brick!"-Woman's Hoirie Companion. - A person who tells you the fault of others will tell others of yours. POINTING AJ?ORAL. This Father Had a Good Cure For His Conceited Son. When our heads reach that stage when a foot tub will about fit us for a hat, it's a mighty good thing to have somo wise friend or relative to out them under tho pump and hold them there until the swelling sub sides. A nico young fellow here married into a society family. His father was ono of that blunt, hon est sort of men who have accumu lated a pretty good fortune by hard labor and who havo no nonsense in them. The young couple began soon to put on fancy trimmings with the old man. He was not invited out when they lind ? pink tea cr grech break fast, but was used to fill in the chinks. Well, the old man wouldn't have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was used to plain, substantial cooking, and a supper of little cakes, ice cream, a croquette, a dub of salad and a glass of frappe would iloor him. When he had suppers, there would be a big dish of birds, hot bis cuits, pickles and preserves, old style chicken salad and a hot punch after ward. But the old man stood tho change in the boy for awhile until ono day ho cam? down home and at -:ed him to give his wife a chiffonier, pro nouncing it "chec-fon-ee-ay." This was too much. "Get in the buggy with ino," said the elder sternly. "I want to drive you to soc something." The son complied, and the two drove up Green street until they came to a little, old tumble down cottage, much the worse for age. "There, sir," said the irate parent, "there's where you were born. Don't forget it again and be talking to mo about your wife's schee-fong-yeas." There is no place like home, but wo dou't care to be reminded of the earliest one wc had. -Washington Star. Ephraim Knox's Hen Story. Ephraim Knox lived in the center of his native village, and his hens wandered here and there at their own sweet will, to the frequent an noyance of his neighbors. Ephraim, however, was no respecter of per sons and considered his hens "as good as anybody" and desirable vis itors. When it was decided that the town library should be built in a vacant lot "next door to him," Ephraim was filled with pride and joy, and he and his hens superin tended operations from the first. Ephraim's brother Seth was not devoted to hens. Ono day' he was passing, the site of the library with a friend and stopped to view the progress of affairs. Ephraim's hens were there, cackling away as if their lives depended on it. Seth looked at them in disgust. "What in the world are those hens making such a noise for, do you sup pose? There ain't any grain in there," said the friend. "Well," remarked Seth dryly, "they've had the oversight of most everjrthing in town. You know the cornerstone of the building was laid yesterday, and I calc'laie that speckled hen over there thinks she laid it!"-Youth's Companion. A Lost News Story. A managing editor tells this story of how he failed to get the best of a correspondent: "News was scarce and the prospects of getting out an interesting paper in the morning were poor indeed, when from a umall but prosperous and supposed ly pious little Illinois town came this dispatch : "Tifty of our best citizens ar rested tonight for playing poker.' "In a jiffy I wired thc correspond ent: " *Bush details and all the names.' "While uwaiting tho story my spirits rose as I pictured the effect of the bucolic sensation on the first page. The prospects of a dry pa per were about disappearing as I thought how interesting the story would be (50 prominent citizens in a small .town like-, you know, means pretty much the whole town) when there came on the wire not the correspondent's story, but his reply to my order: " 1 am no fool. I expect to live in this town for several years/ " Rules For Qood Eyesight. The following simple rules for the preservation of the eyesight are worth remembering: Keep a shade on your lamp or gas burner. Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never begin to read, write or 6cw for several minutes after coming from darkness into light. Never read by twilight, moonlight or any light so scant that it requires an effort to discriminate. Never read or sew directly in front of tho light, window or door. It is best to let tho light fall from above, obliquely over tho left shoul der. Never sleep so that on first awakening tho eyes shall open on the light of a window. The moment you arc instinctively prompted to rub your eyes that moment stop using them.

I Persona Who Vowed Xever to Stand i Before a Looking ula?. Incredible as it may BCCIU, there bave been many instances of eccentric indi viduate who for some reason or another have VOWHI to never look into a mirror as lons "a Ute endured. Such a caso occurred some years ago at Carcassonne, hi Franeo, where a young and beautiful widow much giv en to frivolities lost her only child. a boy of 3, while dressing her hair before the mirror for a ball to which sho was about to wend her way. Tho child, left to himself, wandered into the roadway and was run over and k??d by a vann ing dray, and the motlier, heartbroken by the shocking affair, wfilch sho at tributed to her own neglect, vowed that never again would she look into a mirror. She kept her word, and until thc day of her death, which occurred about three years later, she did not behold her face on a single occasion. Every mirror was removed from tho flat which abe occupied, nor were silver di?ues brought to her table lest she should seo her features reflected there in. In one of the midland couutles of England not so very long apo there passed away a farmer who had not beheld his own taco for nearly 15 years. Tho farmer in question was superstitious to tho point of credulity, and on a certain occasion a gypsy in formed bim that he would die while gazing into n mirror. Terrified by this weird prediction, the wcukmiuded man resolved that he would never again scan his features in thc glass, and he rigidly kept his word, dying eventually nt the ripe ?ge of 78. A young Italian peasant woman who wedded a sailor told him on the eve of his departure for a long voyage that she would not look upon her features in tho mirror until he rerurnod to her safe and sound. The unfortunate man's vessel was wrecked In the gulf of Mex ico, nil aboard thc ship being drowned. But tho distracted widow refused to believe that her husband was dead and vowed that she would adhere to her re solve regarding the nonuse of a mirror for another year. As each year passed the vow was renewed, but eventually n new suitor carno upon the scene and paid court to the woman, with the re sult that sho married him in due course and looked onco more upon her comely face after a lapse of six years.-London Tit-Bits. Dared by an Elephant. Engine Driver Russell, while taking his freight train from Teluk Anson to Ipoh, on the Malay peninsula, was con fronted by a big tusker elephant who usurped the center of the track. A grand contest then ensued between ele phant and engine. The elephant re peatedly charged the engine, and this game went on for nearly an hour. The driver occasionally backed the engine, and then the elephant would stand aside from thc tracie, but on thc engine again coming forwatd thc animal would return to the track and renew its charges. The driver described tho on slaught of the elephant ns moot terrific, particularly on one occasion, when ho feared the smokebox door had been battered in. Of course the driver could have charged at the tusker, but then the great probability would have been that the engine would have been de railed. Doubtless suffering from a sore head at the futile contest between ivory and Iron, the elephant altered its tactics and, turning Its rear portion to the iron steed, endeavored to push its an tagonist backward. Here came the chance for the driver, who quickly turned on the steam and gradually pushed the elephant off the line, but in doing so one of the engine wheels went over the hind legs of the ele phant, and thus Mr. Tusker was dis abled. Tho freight train proceeded on Its Journey bearing evident marks of the struggle ou the cowcatcher and the smokebox. Several pieces of broken tusks were picked up. and these com manded n good price.-Porak Pioneer. How De Won the Men. At one period of his career Archdea con Sinclair used to preach pretty of ten both nt Wellington nud at Chelsea barracks. One day a sergeant major of the Coldstream guards accosted bim nnil ?ald bow sorry he was they had not beard him preach for some time.

Tho conditions of farm life are won derfully different from V7hrt hey were in the last generation. . Labor saving machinery has wrought a revolution in farm operations. A ohange hardly loss remarkable has been accomplished in the removal of the comparative isolation of the farm er and his family. The country has become more thickly settled and the means of inter communication have been vastly im proved. In many parts of tho West and in some of tho South community settle- j ment?, cf ????iit:rti aro becoming nuuv j erous. A number of farmers build their bomen close together and from this central settlement their land lines radiate. The advantages of this plan aro ob vious. It affords the companionship, thc look of whioh the wife and chil dren of many a farmer feel so keenly. Iv affords mutual protection and the means of mutual improvement. The Church, the school house, the social club, the general store-all these are made possible and brought near to the people. Tho benefits of thc community life thus established uro incalculable. A great number of farmers now en joy the convenience of mail delivery which their fathers never dreamed of. The telephone has been drafted into the service of farmers in many States, i In some of the older and more thickly settled ones farm telephones arc in usc by the thousand. Telephone Hues are constructed and equipped either by an association of farmers or by a company of their town neighbors, which give good service over a large territory at remarkably low rates. Tho farmer and his family find thc tele phone a great convenience and a very profitable investment. Suburban trolley lines have been so greatly increased in number aud so much extended in their reach that they give thousands of farmers easy ai d cheap access to the towns and oities, which are their main market. Another improvement of farm life, perhaps the greatest one of all, has boon supplied by the general improve ment of roads. Tho value of these to the farmer cannot be computed. They increase his profits from his crops, save him muoh time, which is the equivalent of money; enable him to keep up his stock to a better standard, prevent heavy loss in thc wear and tear of wagons end other vehicles and make it possible for him to market his crops in much less time and at far less ex pense. Farm lifo has lost many of its hard features and its attractions, comforts and opportunities Lave been immense ly improved. It is not strange that in many of our States a movement from the oities and towns to the farms is beginning to counteract the trend from the farms to the centers of popu lation, whioh, in many parts of the United States, has gone on so steadi ly for a long time with evil results to both the rural districts and our cities. There is great hope for our country in the increased attractiveness of farm life.-Atlanta Journal. - A sober second thought is better than a drunken first one. - The coquette is able to flirt a fan and a fan flirt simultaneously. - Even the homely girl will be a pretty old one if she lives long enough. riAli/arC Healthy andstrong , I IUWCI ^? they blossom and bloom.
