An Unfortunste Remark.
One pleasant day last fall, so the
story goes. President Hadley of Yale
was strolling through the beautiful
! rarapus of Dartmouth College with his
: wife on his arm. They were admiring
the beautiful buildings which dot the
j campus, several of them haveing been
j erected by wealthy alumni. Presently
they came to an especially noble hall,
I built of stone, and occupying a comj
manding site. Over the main entrance
| was a marble tablet which announced
j that the hall bad been erected by
: "John C. Blank as a memorial to his
Beloved Wife."
i President Hadley stood and looked
I at the noble pile for a moment. Then
: he heaved a sigh that was almost cnj
vious.
I - "Ah," he said, "that is what I should
like to do for my college."
And to this day, the boys declare.

WYNKEN, BLYNi
By Eugen
Wvnken, Blvnken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe?
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you ;,oing, and what do you
wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring
fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken,
Blvnken,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night
long ."
Ruffled the waves-of dew;
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea.
"Now cast your nets wherever you wishNever
afeard are we!'
So cried the stars to the fishermen
three,
Wynken,
Blvnken,
And Nod.
ij A Strange C
TO please Agues, I bavc promised
to set down in writing
our strange experience. Although
we have told it to a
few people since its happening,we have
found no one able to explain in any
way this curious occurrence, and I confess
if it had been experienced by any
one else than myself 7 would not have
believed it.
Some few years ago, at the request
of my dying brother. I went to live in
his house. Being alone In the world
save for him and his two sons, I gladly
took up my residence within his lios?
pitable walls, and, having conceived a
great fondness for my nephews while
caring for my brother during the few
months he lingered after my coming.
I yielded to liis last wish and the request
of the boys and promised to care
for them as long as they should need
or wish to have me.
There could hardly be a greater contrast
between two boys than between
these two. Harold, tU2 elder, was, at
the time of which I write, about twenty-three
years of age; tall, dark, Intensely
reserved, quiet, self-controlled.
His brother, some twenty months
younger, impulsive, quick-tempered,
demonstrative, open, affectionate. I
never saw such strength of purpose as
that of Harold's. Even as a young
lad he permitted nothing to stand In <
the way of his wishes, but' so quiet
was his persistent effort one was hard- i
ly, if at all, conscious of a deternilna- I
tion which won in spite of every ob- '
stacle. Many and many a time I saw
the boys clash over opposing desires, i
but it was always Tbeo who yielded, i
Yet he had plenty of strength, too, but <
a loving heart as well. i
At this time of which I write the I
real crash and test of strength had
come through love for the same girl, ]
a niece of mine by marriage, an orphan <
whom I had adopted and who had j
come to live in our pleasant house. It <
had gradually come to a tense strain 1
between the brothers. They hardly 1
spoke to each other at table, and took I
care never to meet away from it. If i
by chance their eyes met for an in- I
stant they were quickly lowered again,

other liis real feeling. Agnes, being <
like a daughter to me, I finally ecided 1
to speak to her about the matter and i
called her to task for her encourage- 1
mcut of them both, and urged her to J
choose between them and end the 1
strain of uncertainty. i
"Oh, Aunt Fanny," she cried, "I wish i
I could, indeed I do. I don't encourage <
either one. I am never alone a mo- ;
ment with one but instantly the other s
follows, and they look as if only will 1
kept them from tearing each other to 4
pieces. I feel as if I could shriek i
sometimes, the effort to keep peace is
so great. Oh, it is dreadful, dreadful! <
And what good times we used to have I
together! "Why did they ever love me? :
I don't want anybody to love me"
And she cried like a baby, her head i
buried in my lap. i
"Poor little one," I said gently, "it Is 1
hard for you, I know. But surely you 1
must prefer one to tin other. It seems ]
to me before this trouble came you i
used to like one the better," and I i
raised her chin and smiled into her 1
sweet blue eyes. <
She flushed and her head dropped, i
"I used to think Theo was the dearest i
boy," she half whispered; "but, somehow.
Harold"?hesitatingly. "I don't 1
know what it is?he has a power I 1
can't resist, and yet I can't think it i
love, for as soon as he is gone I feel 1
as if a load had dropped from me. I
am afraid of him, auntie. He fright- t
ens me with his black looks; I never <
can say to him that I don't love him, ]
it is all I can do to keep from saying 1
that I do." 1
Every day increased the tension. 1
Meals were passed In a wretched si- '
lence that poor Agnes tried to relieve 1
with pitiful little attempts at gayety ]

but to little purpose. All through the 1
day Agnes clung to me In a sort of i
desperation, followed ine around with 1
a look in her eyes that wrung my <
heart; but I was helpless to change 1
matters. I finally determined to leave
the house for a time at least, taking i
Agnes with mo, when an urgent busi- I
ness matter called Harold nway for ]
several days. The whole household i
seemed to breathe more easily when
he had gone. It was only by the re- :
moval of the weight that we realized :
how oppressed we had been.
Instantly my girl seemed to revive
and Theo to grow more like the gay,
happy boy of past years. I had all i
along felt that these two were suited
to each other, and, with all my affection
for IJarold, felt he was not the i
mate for my gentle girl. So, being a
woman, and therefore a matchmaker. '
I managed to leave th?m together, also
sent them for a walk In the garden at
twilight. When they cames In I saw ]
all was well between them, and when
they sat down, one cn each. 9ide of
me, and began to pay me compliments,
me, an old woman, of course, I knew
all was right. So presently they confessed
their happiness, with blushes
'' and shy glances at each other, to gain
wurage for the telling.
I fcever saw such a look of hate and
rage ill my life as that which flashed
from Harold's face when the news was 1
told him on his return. "We all know
what happens when the cat is away," '
he said harshly, and in an instant, recovering
himself, he wished them all i
happiness and kissed Agnes upon the
brow with apparent brotherly affec- i
tion. 1

No one seemed to distrust him but 1
myself, and I said nothing to spoil the
happiness of the two so dear to me. '
It was a week later that, coming '
into Agnes's room, I found her lying (
face down on the bed sobbing her 1
heart away, ncr would she listen to '
my comfortiug nor tell me her dis- 1
tress. "She had promised not to tell 1
and she wanted to be alone," she 1
moaned, and was still moaning when 1
Tlieo rushed into the room, his face so 1
white it startled me. lie did not seem <
to see me, but looked only at Agnes. J
"You have nothing else to say. to =
me,- Agnes?" he asked, hoarsely. "For {
the last time, I ask you for the chance
to defend myself. Even the criminal
at the dock has that!"
She shook her head. "It's no use,
Tlieo. I have seen the proofs. You
couldn't explain away the truth." 1
"It's my brother who has done this," i
he cried out bitterly; "done It to get (
me out of the way. And I am going, i
But I tell you this, yon shall never I
marry him. I will prevent It even if i
I am dead. I swear it!" And, turn- (
lng .quickly, be rushed from the room. 1
Her cry of pain.and wretchedness; I
followed him.' "Ob, what shall I do,
what shall I do. I can t believe it: 1
And yet I saw the proofs, auntie, I
saw the proofs." And so she cried pit*
eously, over and over. ; . J
When I had comforted her a little I
looked for ray boy, but nowhere was
he to be found. He had gone, and gone
without a word.
Time passed slowly. I never was 1
told the reason of the trouble; and,
though I distrusted Harold. I had no ?
cause to accuse him. I pleaded for the *
absent one, but finally censed, seeing s
It was useless.
What I had long expected came to
pass. Agnes promised herself to Harwich
All her pretty animation was

lid everything now prepared for her '
wedding. Often, as I looked at them, t
iicr words of an earlier time came back
to me; he (lid, indeed, seem to have a
strtmge power over her, even her f
thoughts were echoes of his.
Xl was about 0 o'clock the evening
areceding the day set for tbe wedllng.
Agnes and I were sitting 1n the
ittle morning room, which opened on
i porch that led into the garden. She
was sitting at my knee and I was
flip f/VMpn liprifl tlinf lnv sn
tvearily on my lap. Suddenly we heard 1
\ step on the porch and the next In- ?
stant Theo stood before us. With a
:*ry that told only too eloquently of the
secret longing so long hidden, Agnes
sprang to her feet and rushed toward
ilm. He stopped lier with a gesture.
'Do you still belle e me guilty, Agues?"
1
"No, no!" she cried, "and even If I
lid, I would forgive you. I don't care *
if it's true or not. Oh, Theo, how long
roil have been away!"
^Aud you mean to marry Harold to- t
morrow. But I say you- shall not. Ht
shall tell the truth and clear me of the *
rile charge.:: If he had beaten me fair- ;T
iy, I would have been glad of his happiness,
no matter at what cost to my- T
self. But he planned and lied dellber- 1
iteJy to ruin me, and I shall force lilro 1
to confess it to you. Then you may
5*hoo$e between us wien we stand fair
ind equal before you, and not till we
ire ?qnal shall I seek you." i
And without another word or look he r
eft the room. Trembling, we sat f
kvhe>e he had left us, oppresred by we t
vnew not what, waiting for something, s
sve knew not what. t
Suddenly a cry broke the stillness,
;o sharp, so distressing, the servants
?ame running from every part of the
house. Agnes and I huri ed down the
iiall to Harold's study, the sound having
seemed to come from there. Wi
Irled the door, but found It locked.
With a nameless terror I could not
ilde. I ordered It burst open. We
rushed in. Harold was lying across
the rug unconscious, but living, as I
round to my Infinite relief. No other

ivcre down, the key on the Inside of the

as usual.

though he had been "working ou that t
side of the house at 6 o'clock and had I
been all afternoon. So strange were
these accounts, Agnes and I did not
speak of our experience. The servants
were in a state of terro where anoiner t
word of mystery would have sent them i
all packing. TLere was nothing to do t
but wait anxiously for Harold to ex- t
plain it to us. 1
About 0 o'clock he slowly waked
from his stupor, looked around fear- i
fully, and, seeing only me, beckoned J
feebly for me to come closer. "Where I

"He is not here, dear. Shall I call
him?" 1
He shuddered. "No, no?I'll tell, 111 1
tell!" he gasped. "Agnes, send Agnes." c
She came at once. He clung to her t
hand as if for strength. t
"Theo is not guilty," he whispered,
weakly. "I?I?lied about him?I loved I
?you so?I thought he had played me i
false in winning you when I was away.
It was not true?what I said. I promised
him I would?tell?I loved yon? 11

Agnes's eyes met mine. He nad seen

It "was two days after that, accord- j
ing to his wish, we sent him away with ;

again. He traveled far abroad, seek- j
ing in vain to regain health and happiness,
and when news of his death |
came to me a few months ago. I could j
hut thank Cod the poor, wayward j
heart had found peace at last.
The day after he left, Agnes aud I i
were sitting in the same room at the

HE DIDN'T KNOCK FIVE.
Why tlie Yonns Doctor IJad to Bombard

They had been married only a short
while. He was a young and struggling
physician, and she a very sweet,

that the doctor had a sick call dur

Mrs. Kate Bohn, 1119 Willoughby Ave.,
Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
"When I wrote you I was troubled with
frequent headaches, dizzy, strange feeling
in the head, sleeplessness, sinking feelings,
fairtness and numbness. Sometimes
I had heartburn. My food would rise to
my throat after every meal, and my bowels
were very irregular.
"I wrote you for advice, and I now
take pleasure in informing you that my
improvement is very great indeed. I did

Good Roads Save Money.
An Indiana engineer has made a
calculation in regard to the money
saved by good roads. He estimates
that the cost of moving one ton by
horse-power over one mile of dry,
sandy road, is 24 cents over wet sand,
32 cents; over ruts and mud, 39 cents;
over broken stone ruts, 26 cents over
an earth road that is dry and hard, 18
cents; over a broken stone road m
good condition, 8 cents; over a compact
gravel road, 8.8 cents; over stone
paving, 5.33 cents; over asphalt, 2.7
cents. The engineer argues that if
wagon transportation at a cost of o
cents a mile per ton could be general,
many millions cf dollars would be
saved, and millions of tons of merchandise,
which cannot be now handled
at a profit, would be available. .

a white sediment and cloudy. I

The Way it Goes.
"It was over at .Ailegash, the other
day, for the first time in four years,"
said the Kohack Philosopher, just a
bit sarcastically, "and I found my
nephew, Luther, and his estimable
wife still squabbling over the same
question that they were quarreling
about when I was there before. The only
change that I was able to detect was
that, while in the first place tney
appeared to know what they were
jangling about, by this time they
seemed to have fo.-goten what the
original bone of contention was, and
were quarreling monotonously along
without any way of knowing when they
had finished.
"Well, when my appearance interrupted
them, Luther was startled to
see how much thinner I had grown in
four years, and his wife was astonished
at the way I had grown fat. And
at it they went, quarreling over that,
and the original question was shelved
for good and all. I came away feeling
amply repaid for taking the trip. It is a
satisfaction to knew that you have
done a helpful act, and I expect I did
them a great favor by breaking the
monotony, and .giving them something
to wrangle o^r."?June Smart

A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE.
The man had attended a musical
party and the next morning met a
friend who lived next door.
"I was at a delightful affair at your
neighbor's last night," he said.
"Yes, I heard something going on
there. What was it?"
"The execution of a number of musical
selections by the young lady."
"Oh, it was an execution, was it?"
said the friend in a tone of relief. "I
am glad to hear it was no worse. It
sounded to me like a murder."?Comfort.
