Not In many a Ioijk year had Hetty’s fare worn such an expression of woe. “If you please, tna'am," awakened her front the trance. She turned to the cook and pave her orders for the day Then, with a sigh, she opened the letter and reread it: Dear Aunt Mehitable—Papa and Jeasta MIlltT will t* m*m«d Tuesday morning aad sail for Kurope the aamr day on an •atendetl trip bo 1 ahail leave college aad go home to look after you.

And Ruth corning back a year before I expected! This’ll never seem like home to me any more.” Hetty Peters was single. She .had never had a lover, had never looked for one and. incredible aa It may seem, had never wished for one. She bad been altogether too buay, first. In look ing after a younger slater and brother, and. second In caring for her delicate mother, to consider her matrimonial prospects. The brother and sister had grown up. married and moved north. Her mother’s death had left her alone. When her elder brother’s wife died ah** had gone to live with him, and for several .vears her existence had t>eeu happy if monotonously uneventful. Now came the dlsipikdliig news of John’s second marriage and of her nie«*e'H une\|iertcd return. Ruth had « decided predilection for managing everything and everybody she came in contact with. Her aunt had always trembled before her. Ruth was tlie only one who.re mein tiered her baptismal name, and Hetty detested It. tout Hulh persisted in calling her Aunt Melilta ble. “Perhaps she Intends to marry Fred!" Hetty reflected bojiefully. "if she docs, of course he'll have to give In. He was a nice looking boy when he left. I remenilsT I klsiuMl him goodhy, he seemed such a boy, and ho is a year older than I am." On Thursday Mlsa Peters was at the station w Ixn the northern train ar rived. \N idle she was watching the outcoming passengera frof?i one car n hand ton -lied swiftly her ami, and a pleasant voice exclaimed. "Hetty, you have not changed a bit since we part ed.’’ ’’I’ve grown fifteen years older.” she answered giving her hand to a tall, bronzed, handsome man, whose dark eyes were scmtlnizliig her admiringly. "I know it.’’ he replied. "80 have 1“— "^'red. loosen that checkrein. Aunt Mehitahle, how could you drive this horse in such ft condition? You really innal some one to look after you!" And Hetty realised, with a pang, that Ruth had come back to her own. "No tea for me,’’ she mimnanded at the dinner table. “Aunt Mehitahle. I’m surprised at you! Any doctor will tell you that tannk acid Is a rank poison. It’s intuitively criminal to use tea or voffee when one can have fresh milk.” Tlie next morning Ruth’s sway be- gan “Just up?” she called out as Hetty made her ap|s'arance at 7 o’clock. “I’ve been up tor hours. I shall move the breakfast time an hour earlier, and you must come for a walk eveey morn lag before breakfast. It will dt> yotl a work! of g<shI,” And Aunt Hetty, real- Ixirg the futility of argument where Buth was concerned, miserably acqg} «aced. "Is it possible you sleep on a feather bed?" exclaimed Ruth that evening, unexpectedly invading her aunt’s room. **l>ou't you know that feathers are not panitary? You need some one to look mfter you. Aunt Mehitahle.” *Tni not so old as that,” protested Hatty. "It Isn't altogether a matter of age; IPs.temperament. You take life like a grasgUiopiier. Y«u really do need some ooe." Of course you’ll have me until"— "Until you marryT* suggested Hetty. "I have Iwen thinking of It,? j Ruth admitted complacently. "By the way, bow do you like Fred?" “I think he is in every way dealfa- We. I don’t believe any woman could aak for a better husband." ’Tm glad to hear you say so," said Both. "Was his father a good hus band?” "I do not remember Fred's mother, ■be died when I was very young. But I always understood they were very bappy." “I met Mr. Stirling frequently at Jsaaie’s.” said Ruth. "He came to Boatda on business.

A good newspaper tells the news as f:tiflifully, truthfully as it can, s'ithon? fear and without favor, and comments on it with the best intelligence it can com mand. A good newspaper is in league with all men and women who think and with all the agencies that strive for the happiness of the people. A good newspaper shields no wrong that ought to be exposed and stops at no truth that ought to be uttered. A good newspaper dees uot lend itself to the making of strife between citizens, neither rages like a demagogue nor weeps like a charlatan. A good newspaper has idealr, believes in progress, and wins its way by courage, plain speaking sod fair dealing. A good newspaper assembles each day as much of the good things that are done the world as t can find and no more of the foul than it must of news neces sarily publish. A good newspaper has politi cal opinions and may belong to a party but it canuot be an organ and keep the high faith of the best journalism. A good newspaper knows no boas, bows to no petty satrap of oflice and owes no allegiance but to that which it believes to be —• » true. o A good newspaper it* run on business principle, and should make money and prosper like any other business, but probably wou't if that is its sole aim. A good newspaper takes a cheerful view of the world, is kind to human failings and helps men more by entertaining them than by ranting and scolding at them.—Scranton Tribune. Buying Votes The man weo buys an office has a right to sell it. The man who buys an of fice will sell it. The act of try ing to buy votes is as reprehensive moral ly as the successful sale ot an office. The man who buys votes is dishonest and dishonorable. The man who sells his vote is dishonest and on top of that he is a fool. There is no one thing worth as much to any man as an established reputation * for honesty and integrity, and no man can secure such a reputa tion unless he is actually pos sessed of the virtues men tioned. In politics there are numer ous ways of buying votes, and that of paying tor votes with actual cash is by no means the least familiar. More often than otherwise, the candidate secures the sup port of a prospective voter by promising that in the event of his election he will give to the vote the private benefit of cer tain privileges that are only to be secured by a betrayal of the trust to be reposed in the prospective office holder; Under circumstances like this, the man who sells his vote and the man who buys it occupy about the same rela tion in crime as principal and accessory before and after the fact . * But nevertheless, vote buy ing and vote selling is a com mon, very common, vice that has been grafted on to exist* tng institutions.
