Kafes "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.

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. ?Julian Ralph in New York Mail and Express. 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 more Sun-_ 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 lebte. _ Unequal Eye?.

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 Sun. 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/' Moral.?There are times when we have to take tho will for the deed.? New York Herald. 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 tion is the distance a man can 6ce when standing on a clear day on tho 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 tho height of tho observer in feet above the sea level.
