"It ain't no use in a-goin* ag*in
your pa, Jennie. He's had his own
way round here continual fur more'n
thirty years, an' you'll je3t hev to
give in. No uro talkir/ at him. It
only mulcts him wuss."
Poor little Mrs. Olcott had been
accustomed during the whole of her
married lffe to "jest give in," and
her only chance of peace was in
yielding to her selfishly determined
husband and allowing him to carry
his point without opposition.
Jennie was differently constitut- i
cd. She inherited her-father's strong :
will, and he had, much to his sur- j
prise, suddenly uitscovered an oppos- !
ing for^o in his youngest child.
She had been away from home
for nearly three years, this pretty
brown haired girl with the deter
mined face and graceful carriage,
and the father secretly admired and
almost feared her. A wealthy and
childless aunt in the city had be
sought Jennie to share her home,
and Hiram Olcott's pretty daughter,
though clinging to the farm, with
all its dear memories of childhood
and childhood's joys, chose wisely
when she yielded to her aunt's re
quest. It was better, far better, for
her, for even after her going there
were plenty of children to keep the
miserly old farmer in a perpetual
grumble about money matters.
It was May, and the country wore
one glad smile, and Jennie hailed
with delight the prospect of a visit
to her home, assuming very willing
ly the responsibility of housekeep
ing while her two unmarried sisters
attended the wedding of a cousin in
a 'distant town.
This morning she was cooking
and with her sleeves rolled above
her Elbows stood beside the Htchen J
table. In one hand she held an {
earthen plate, while the clip, clip, {
clip of a fork sounded noisily as she
whipped some eggs to a froth.
"Your sisters hed to marry to suit
him," wailed the nervous little wo
man, "an' you'll hev to too. Ef you
don't, there be awful fusses, 6o
you'd jest better give in."
That morning the father had spo
ken to Jennie of a young farmer,
whom he termed a "likely catch."
She had expressed her opinion of
him in so decided a way as to alarm
Mr. Olcott for the safety of his
much prized authority.
He was wont to speak of himself
as a marvelous example of the pa
triarch. "Make 'em mind," he
would say. "Keep your household
beneath your feet; govern 'em well,
an' they'll git along.
Jennie's boldness in opposing his
judgment so stupefied him that his
anger had not yet had time to blaze
forth, but Mrs. Olcott knew it ?vould
come, and so after her husband had
left the kitchen she pleaded with tho
girl to "give in." Jennie had been
very thoughtful during the little
woman's appeal, hut now she was
resolved, and it was the Olcott in
her nature which spoke. "I would
not marry Jordan Moggs though fa
ther should threaten to murder me."
The eggs were stiff now, and as
she set the plate down on the table
she turned from her mother and
busied herself among the ingredi
ents for cake baking which were be
fore her. Jennie was blushing as
she began softly, "There is some
one in Poole I like very much, moth
er, and he's coming out here to"?
"He needn't mind comin'," said
farmer Olcott grimly as he stepped
quietly into the kitchen. "Don't
let me ketch none o' your city fellers
comin' to see you. Ef they do, I'll
talk to 'em; Not a word now," he
growled, shaking his long finger
menacingly at Jennie as she essayed
to speak. 'Tm master in my own
house, an' you'll not talk till such
time as I'm done. You've been
away an' kinder forgot how things
is run here, but you might as Well
get broke in now. I tell you I won't
hev any city fellers a-foUerin' you,
an' ef I ketch your Aunt Kate mak
in* matches fur you 111 jest fetch
you borne from bein' a fine lady
down there an' set you workin'.iS
Bsfore Jennie could speak ho bad
gone into the dining room, slam
ming the door behind hvm
Tears of mortification and rage
stood in her browr eyes, and bot
words leaped to hei ips, but as ehe
glanced down at the agonised face
of the little woman beside her the
fierce mood changed. . She bent to
kiss tho pain drawn lips, murmur
ing: "Nover mind, mother dear. FU
be patient for your sake."
"That's s good girl, Jennie," re
plied Mrs. Olcott, with a sigh of ?e
liof. "Try an' git alo
like an' fest give in fur the sake o*
quiet. Your pa's getthr* wuss on'
Jennie wrote a paxtial account of
what had occurred to her Aunt
Rats, and this was the.answer of
that ?lever woman :
My Dear Nleca?Your father mads managing,
and I win -uaderteka to do it. I bare written to
him to com? down to tba city and adriae ma
boot tbw ea)? of a picea of property, and you
atad not be ?orprisod at anything that happtaa.
Mrs, Kate Calding was the only
ono in the world who ever did un
derstand her brother Hiram, ?.nd
ehe had planned a clever little ruse
to bo T^dayed on the unsuspecting
, farmeri
; Mr. Bryan, whora Jennie bid con
feesed to Her mother fiho cared a
great deal for, "was well suited to
her. He had not yet declared his
love, but it v.-as not ringuesscd by
the shrewd little maiden. To Mrs.
Calding, however, he had opened his
heart, and she bade liim wait a lit
tle. She knew how prejudiced her
brother was against all arrange
ments not conducted by himself and
rightly concluded that ho might put
serious difficulty in the way of tho
young people. After satisfying her
self that the name of Jennie's lover
was quito unknown to her brother
she resolved to introduce him as a
young man who would be a good
match for Jennie if only the girl
could be wise enough to think so.
Allowing him to believe they had
never met, she trusted to his un
equaled obstinacy to do the rest.
"I've wanted so much to talk with
you about Jennie," said that lady as
?he and Hiram sat in her well ap
pointed drawing room the night of
the arrival.
"Yes, an* I'm willin'. She ought
to be settled," said the old man de
cidedly. .
"It does not do, Hiram," began
Mrs. Calding, watching tho hard
lined face intently, "to depend on a
girl's choice, and"?
"Well, I guess it don't," he inter
rupted, with a sneer.
."There is a young man in town
who I know admires Jennie, and if
he should meet her I think some
thing would come of it." Very
quietly, yet with the utmost cau
tion she made this statement.
Tho old man was interested..
"Rich?" ho inquired, rubbing his !
hands gently together.
"Yes," was the answer. Then she
went on :
"Of 'course it's so very uncertain, j
Hiram. You see, Jennie might re
fuse to have a word to say to him,
and"?
"Now, Kate, look here," inter
rupted the thoroughly excited old
man as he drew his chair nearer
hers and emphasized his words with
decisive gestures, "ef I like that
young man I'll jest take him out
home with me, an' I'd like to sen
Jennie tell him to go ef I'm livin'."
Mrs. Calding was d?lighted at her
success thus far. The next day Mr.
Bryan was introduced and became
tho old man's ideal of a son-in-law.
On the farmer's return to bis
home Mr. Bryan accompanied him,
having accepted the hearty invita
tion of his new friend to "jest run
out an' take a look around our part
of the country."
Jennie had been apprised of Mr.
Bryan's coming and of the little de
ception in which she was to play her j
part. She met him as if he were a |
Btranger, while her father secretly ;
rejoiced at the thought of subduing
his proud young daughter.
Mr. Olcott took an early oppor
tunity to enlighten Jennie as to her
duty toward his new friend, and
with a twinkle in her eye she prom
ised to do her host to please him in
the matter.
A week passed. Jennie and Mr.
Bryan were very happy. The days
were delightful ones to them, and
the old farmer rubbed his hands at
the success of his scheme and gave
bis consent to an early marriage
tvith no hesitation.
He of tenspeaks now of his match
making. "There'B Jennie," he will
?ay. "She'd hev picked up with
jome empty noddled city chap ef I
hadn't jest took her in hand. I
brung Bryan out an' told her that
rae'd got to behave to him. It's the
inly way to do?jest make 'em mind,
in' they'll git along." !
They would not deceive him for
mything, the happy young couple, '
trat when he boasts they think with 1
loving gratitude of clever Aunt \
Kate. _
Eating Too Much.
Eating too- much is a disease of *
jivilization. The uncivilized seldom
;et too much to eat, or their feast
ngs are preceded or followed 'by so
nany days of famine that gorman
hzing leaves no evil trace. Where -}
food is abundant, oxygen scarce,
nuscles soft through inactivity and
he regular occupation a tax upon
the brain and nerves the feeling
hat one has eaten too much or has
lot eaten enough is a frequent and }
troublesome intruder. At times .
there is a combined sense of being ]
it once ill nourished and overfed. .

MAKING^ JMILLION.
The Way In Which Many New York
Fortunes Wer:: Started*
If you had not a cent in the world
and wanted to be a millionaire, how
would you set about to be one?
Would it occur to you to buy an un
improved plot of ground up town on
credit, a building lot air covered
With recks and thistles, tin cans and
old shoes and the ashes from the
neighborhood stoves? Some men
would consider themselves still
worso off with the Jot to pay for
than when they were simplv penni
less.
Some would, yet others would
consider themselves launched on the
trip for a fortune.
There are men in jffew York city
who are very rich and who began
their moneyed careers in just that
way. First they got a building lot
"on tick." Then they dug a cellar,
also "on tick." The moment they
had the hole dug they could borrow
money to build the first story of a
house. The moment the first story
was up they could borrow more
money with which to add a second
story. With the completion of each
new story more capital was obtaina
ble, and so tho house was finished
on credit. At this stage they were
still penniless, but owed lor a build
ing lot and a line building. Then
they sold the building for as much
more than it cost as they cpuld get,
and tho balance of profit was the
nest egg of their fortune.
This mode of getting rich is being
practiced all around us every day
by many men.
It accounts for the hundreds, per
haps thousands, of handsome large
apartment houses we see decorating
all the upper avenues on this island.

Had Thought Him In the Pale.
The quaint sayings of little folk
furnish an abundant supply of
amusing anecdotes. A Baltimore
lady, an Episcopalian, relates the
following story, which she declares
is authentic:
"Mrs. J. of Georgia, a relative of
a prominent bishop of the Episcopal
church, had a litf.lc daughter who
had just begun to attend school.
Mrs. J. was herself a devout Episco
palian, and her little one had been
carefully trained.
"One day the child returned from
school almost in tears. She said a
little Jewish girl in her class had
treated her badly, and she began to
speak slightingly of her school
mate's race, when her mother said
reprovingly :
" 'My dear, you must not talk in
that way. The Jews were God's
chosen people. Our Lord himself
was a Jew/
"After a moment's deep thought
the child replied in a tone in which
horror and regret were equally
blended:
"'Oh, mamma, I didn't know
that. I'm so sorry. I always thought
he was an Episcopalian.'"?Balti

The Hardest Working Animal.
As regards physical work, a term
which must be taken to include en
durance, it would be difficult to de
cide between the claims of the horse
and the camel.. As regards carrying
power a horse in fair condition will
carry 250 pounds over twenty-five
miles of road in eight hours, while
a camel will carry a weight of 1,000
Sounds over twenty-five miles of
esert daily for three days, A hors-o
succumbs in from four to five days
without drinking. The camel be
gins work in its fourth year and
goes on in increasing strength and
endurance for about. fifty years,
while tho average of a horse's work
ing life is sixteen. On the whole,
then, counting actual work perform
ed and power of endurance, the bal
ance appears to rest on the camel.
German Army Marriages.
Army and navy officers in Ger
many are not allowed to marry un
less they have a certain private in
come and must make a deposit of
30,000 marks cash ($7,500) with
the government before tho marriage
3an take place. This is deposited to
their credit in the public treasury,
ind they receive 3 per cent.interest
per year. At the death of the offi
jer tho principal is refunded to his
family. The purpose of thi3 rule is
bo protect the government from the
burden of destitute officers' families
md also to protect the officer
? gainst court martial, for the regu
lations prohibit him from incurring

THE DRUM WAS SILENT.
And the Drummer Was E::cu-j(.d crj
Account of Sickness.
The torn and tattered remnant of
a Confederate regiment one day to- 1
ward the close of the war was lined
up by its colonel und told that the I
commanding general was to pay u j
"visit of inspection" on the follow- j
ing day. The soldiers were admon
ished to "do their prettiest."
"Just brace up as though your
clothes were brand new uniforms
and as though you had the host on
earth to eat and plenty of it. Wo
haven't any bugles left, but Smith
there has got a* drum, and it's a
plumb fine one?big as a barrel.
Now, Smith, when I give you the
word tomorrow yon let her go for
all she's worth." Thus spoke the
colonel.
The next day came, the general to
"inspect" the poor, halt! starved
fighters, and as ho appeared in the
distance the colonel gave the order
to "lino up." As the commanding
officer drew near the colonel shout
ed, "Now, Smith, let her go!" and
turned to salute the general.
But not a note came from the big
barrel drum.
The colonel, red in tho face, turn
ed toward the drummer and again
shouted his order for "music."
But still the drum remained as
mute as the harp of Tara's Hall
fame.
Infuriated at this open disobedi
ence of orders, and in tho presence
of his commanding officer, too, the
colonel rode down tho line and as
ho reached the refractory drummer
cried out :
"Say, Smith, what do you mean
by not beating that blanket)' blank
drum ?"
"I can't, colonel," whispered
Smith. "The old drum is full of
chickens, and half of 'em arc for
you."
Tho colonel paused hut n moment
before he shouted so that the gen
eral and the soldiers might hear:
"All right, Smith. But if you
were too sick to play the drum why
didn't you say so?" ? Baltimore

The Wise Old Fox.
Once upon a time there was an
old fox who had accumulated a
great deal of. property and was tak
ing life with real comfort. One day
his three married sons called to seo
him.
"Father," said the oldest son,
"wouldn't it be well for you to deed
your property to us and relieve your
self of tho coro of it ?"
"By doing that," added the sec
ond, "we can avoid all trouble when
tho sad day comes in which we must
part with you."
"And then," went on tho other,
"you can make your home with us,
each in turn, and thus give pleasure
to us all."
"Sons," answered the old fox, "it
is very kind in you to consider my
welfare, but I prefer things as they
are. My will is made, and when I
am gone you may divide my proper
ty- equally between you/'

Overeating?What la It?
Overeating is an elastic term. 'Ac
cording to Good Housekeeping, "to
fly into a rago or to give way to
prostrating grief is to turn tho chief
of secretions into a more or less ac
tive poison. Concentrated thought
or strenuous muscular exertion im
mediately before or after a meal will
make the partaker of a light lunch
guilty of overeating.
"In its effects underrating is
worse than overeating. There arc a
few things of which it is very diffi
cult to eat too much?dead ripe
blackberries, pears or peaches pick
ed from the trees in a state of abso
lute ripeness, sweet apples that are
mellow through and through and
grapes as sweet as honey."

About 200 miles- in. every direc

peak of the highest mountain?say
at a height of 26,668 feet, or a little
over five miles above tho level of the
sea. An observer must be at a
height of 6/567 feet above sea level
to see objects at a distance of 100
miles. The distance in miles at
which an object upon the surface of
the earth is visible is equal to the
square root of ono and a half times
