Somebody had left the pun &nr iloor open and the cat got in and tar-Jped herself to a large piece of spare cralji; It had happened several times be ttore thin, and now a severe penalty -was to be the consequence. ""Who left the pantry door open?" wepoated Mistress Hapgool.

Thomas, who was the very youngest ;>)!. I ri)ke into a laid wail, and the xteara rolled down bis i'at baby cheeks. "I didn't leave 'ee door open," he ?)bfced. "I didn't! " "What did'yon go into the pantry at all for?" queried his mother with severity. But Thomas only dipped bis double Into his pinafore and sobbed harder than ever. "Answer me!" repeated his mother, an a commanding tone. . Thomas clioked out a word which' JUancy interpreted. "He says he went into the pantry after a pancake," said she. "'Thomas, go and stand in the eor nur" said Mistress Hapgood. And little Thomas, still lifting up 3xis voiee, trudged across to the cor ner, and settled himself therein, with /a. teary face to the wall. "Now," said Mistress Hapgood, ??"when did you see Thomas go into the jjwintry?" "This forenoon," repeated her moth 'jpr. "Haven't you more sense than Ifeat, child? The whole family has foren in since then. Now, stand in a ar?w." ? The Hapgood children obediently farmed themselves Into a line in front aaf the hearth. "Np^, Priscilla,"j?aid Mistress Ilap you/tSave the pantry door bn?" ''No, ma-am," answered Priscllla, of (fer'a little hesitation. Her fair, sober Xace had a troubled look. "Polly, did you leave the pantry wSoot upen?~ "No, ma'am." "Isaac, did you?" "No, ma'am." "Nancy?" "No, ma'am." Thomas, did you leave the pantry Amr open?" "No?o, ma?a'm!" wailed Thomas tirom his corner. ti&nd all the Iiapgood children had olonled leaving the pantry door open. The frown on Mistress Hapgood's Sarfc deepened. "One of you left the pantry door ?pen," said she. "There is no one ??iJrp who could have done it. I have l*rn away and yOu children were .alone in the house. One of you is telling a wicked flb." There was a dead silence. The chil dren stole inquiring glances at each *>fhi;r, and rolled fearful eyes In their ?Bother's direction. "'Very well," continued Mistress Iiapgood. "if one cannot confess, all must. suffer. You must all go without jrour sapper." Then Thomas' wail deepened and jwotop of the others joined in. Prls *Jlla strod still looking at them.

Just then there was a noise out in the yard; the company had come. ?"Well. yu'J can ko without your ?uo per, then," said her mother, hurried ly. "A it<i you deserve a greater pusi' ishthent for not telling me before." While ilie other children sat at ilir 'ahie vsiilc their elders, anil ate the de licious Johnny-cake toast, the pound cake and the plum sauce.

They w< jc almost through supper when (irandmothrr J^llloi, Mistress Hai.good's mother, came in. She liveil just across the yard. She sooke to them all; then she looked sharply at I'rlsciHa. "What has the child done?" asked she. Mistress llapgod related the story briefly. Grandmother lOlliot looked surnrlsed. "Priscilla did not leave the door open," she said. "1 came over this after no n after your balm of (Silend bottle. Adonlram cut his thumb, and 1 left the door open on purpose; it was smoky in Vhere, and I was afraid it would make your new butter taste. 1 did not think of the cat. All the children were playing ' over in the field." 13 very body looked at Prlscilla. Then her father spoke up and he could not have spoken more sternly to the sol diers whom he commanded. "What does this mean, Priscilla?" said he. Priscilla bent her face quite down to the blue yarn stockings and wept. "Did you know that you did ?ot leave the pantry door open?" he con tinued. "Yes?sir," gasped Prlscilla. After the company had gone her father proceeded to deal with her af ter the code of his day, and in ac cordance with his own convictions. He took down the hi re Iw rod, with which all the children were acquainted, and he bade Prlscilla stand before him. "I want you to remember, daugh ter," naid Captain Hapgood, "that a falsehood is a falsehood, for whatever cause it may he told." Then he brought, down the birch rod several times over Prlscilla's slen der shoulders. Priscilla bent her face quite down to her apron and cried softly. Captain Hapgoc.l, after he had put away the birch rod. went up to her and drew the apron gently away. He was not a man given to endearments, but he kissed her solemnly on her fair girlish forehead. "The rod was fcr the falsehood, daughter," said Cautain Hajgoo.l; "and this is for thy kindness and self sacrifle toward thy brothers and Bis ters." Mist reps Hapgood was bustling around the hearth. Presently she call ed Priscilla. "Draw up to the table and have your supper, child." said she. Mistress Hapgr-d had baked a fresh sheet of Johnny cake that was tbanner and browner than the others had been; she had skimmed, more cream and dealt out a liberal dish of sauce. Pris-. cilia sat up and partook. The taste of the food was very pleasant; her shoulders still tingled from the birch rod, and the distinction between the right and wrong of a doubtful action was quite plain to her mind:?Con gregatlonalist and Christian World. Mistletoe Loves the Oak. A review in (he Outlook rebukes an American writer for wondering whether there is any "natural con nection" between the oak and the mistletoe, seeing how constantly they are associated. "In Great Britain," says the reviewer, "the oak is one of the trees on which the mistletoe notoriously does not grow." And it is true that the English child learns In an early lesson of the honor in uhieh its Druids held a mistletoe that by rare chance did grow on an oak. Hut the reviewed book, being Amer ican, is amply justified. The hills that pi^rround the l^ck Observatory, in California, and that bear its domes on. their highest summits, are entirely covered with oaks, and it is not too much to say that every oak carries a bunch or bunches of mistletoe. There are square miles on miles, a whole district, full of the "natural connection." And a connection cer tainly existed in the Druidical mind.? l>ondon Chronicle. Bismarck's My6tic Number. Bismarck, writes a correspondent in reference to our paragraph on superstition, held, with Pythagoras, that not thirteen but three was th?5 great and perfect number. Bis marck's associations with three were remarkable. He had served three masters. He had three names? Bismarck, Schoenhausen, and Lauen burg. The arms of his family are a clover leaf and three oak leaves. He was concerned in three wars and signed three treaties of peace. In tho Franco-Prussian war he had three horses killed under him. He brought about the meeting of three emperors, and was responsible for the triple alllanee. He had three chil dren; his family motto was In Trini tate Robur (Strength in Trinity): and contemporary^ caricature pictured him with three hafra on his head. Three was the beginning, the middle, and the end of Bismarck.?London Chronicle. All There Was Room For. "1 see Governor Warner of Michi gan, was Inaugurated while in bed." "That so?

P., against tho Freeman's Journal, of Dublin, Ire land, awarded the plaintiff a farthing on each of the six count*. Hut Roosevelt and the railroad presidents are not in thorough ac cord as to what action shall bo taken to end tlio agitation. The Presideni desires thp enactment of a Federal franchise law, providing for the issu ar.ee of licenses to corporations, in chiding railroads, and another law which will result, in squeezing th?? wafer out of railroad securities and protect the public against. the "high finance" methods of the railroads. The railroad presidents want Pres ident Roosevelt to issue a statement which will cause a change in the at titude of the people and Slate Legis latures toward the railroads, and also desire him to use his influence to end unfavorable legislation by the States With this end in view Chair man Yoakum called at the White House to assure the President that so far as bis road is concerned it ear nestly "desires to co-operate with tin* Government in the enforcement of the new rate law, tlio lOlkins Anti Itehate law and the Sherman Anti Trust. law. Sir. Yoakum said there would be 110 objection to further Fed eral legislation, especially if It be B'.ich as to guarantee Lo the railroads F.tablo freight, rates and protect them from hostile legislation by the States. The view is entertained here that with tlio unprecedouted prosperity of the country and the large patronage the railroads are receiving, the shrinkage in values which Is recorded in Wall Street, must bo-the result of speculative tactics which have abnor mally bulled the market, ami that se curities are merely returning to their normal value because the manipulat ors have been unable to maintain an unnatural inflation. The President and his advisers make no pretense to a deep insight into Wall Street meth ods, but it has occurred to them that perhaps the preset shrlr\kag>? ia'^tot. | an altogether unmixed evil.yind ft is t a perfectly safe inriH^mco tliat a ma- ' terlally greater RhriiiXago would not produce anything approaching a panic among the men UL^chtj^jfe of the affairs of the nation.
