"Amf I can go to Jessie Wells' this tofternoon, can't I? You promised." "No, Martha, 1 didn't quite promise." "But I ran every step of the way, indeed I did, auntie: and I made all the biuls and dusted." There was a tremor in Martha Parker's voice, and the tears came almost 5nto her eyes. "I'll tell you at noon. There, it is leu minutes (o nine, and you will be late to school if you ilo not start this Instant." "Hut. Aunt ratty " "If you stop for another word, you icannot go at all.

And it i can't go 4o that croquet party I'll bo just as bad as e\er I can be." I think Martha commenced light away. She climbed over the fence and ran down into tiie lot for an apple, and what with that and the eating of it she was late for school. "My aunt sent me to do an errand," she said to Mtss Lewis. "Well, you must bring a note, then, or lose a mark. I want you to understand that school begins promptly at 'jilnc." That made Martha still more cross.

And then she "didn't care" in real good earnest, and she v as u very troublesome child until twelve o'clock. When she went home to dinner she found (iraiulma Fields sitting by the open window in Aunt Patty's tidy kitchen. Now Grandma Fields really "was not grandmother to anybody, but she was old find sweet and pretty, with a wrinkled face and snow-white liair; a gown of .soft drab, that, though it was made in ihe fashion of her j . young days, had almost come round k .again. Ii was gored, plain waisted, And with coat sleeves: but it had no rumL'? nor ungies. j 11011 sue Had a uilvery-eolored kerchief crossed over her bosom, and a white lawn enp, and altogether sho was as attractive- lookins as any grandmother you would wish to see. .Sin' had not a relation in the world, and yet everybody's tiouse was open to her, and she visited about, sewing and knitting and darning, and sometimes taking rare of sick people. She was seventy, but sho did not seem old. There was always a great stack of invitations ahead of her, and two mouths ago Miss Patty Parker had sent for her. y 4,She does so enjoy harvest apples," said Miss ratty, "so let us have her here right in the first of them. And it will give me a good start with all the clothes and bedding and stockings." K Aunt Patty kept house for her broth r, Mr. Nathan Parker. He wan a very comfortable farmer, a widower with three hoys and one girl. A very <-lean, orderly, upright woman was VAnnt Potty, hut somehow Nathan was so careless, so dilatory, children were heedle , impertinent, v ?, and. try her hest. sho never could . \ ke anything of them. She worked very hard, and she used to get very much discouraged. This was her side of the story. Parmer Parker came In delighted to ?ee 11m placid, cheerful face of his Kuest. Did I tell you sho was a Quaker? Well, she was, through there was no Friends' meeting within twenty miles, so it wasn't her Knmlnv elmvnh. going that kept her in such a tranquil ?tnte. Behind the farmer came his oldest Hon, George, about seventeen. Flo had been to the mill and the store that morning, and put down the basket. 'Aunt Patty began to unpack at once. "Will that calico do? The other was ji 11 sold. This is the same pattern, but it has a pink flower instead of a lilac. I like it better." "It doesn't look like a good wash pink," and Aunt I'atty viewed it critically. I "Hut it was for my bed, and I liked it," said George, with a deprecating effort to smooth matters over. "And it is not as ?ood quality. If you can't do Just what you are told, you had better do nothing. And you didn't get lemon extract!" taking up a bottle. "You said I might get lemon or Manilla?Tom begged for vanilla." * "Act I# fpyi.M'a ? * ~ ?? ?o II JL will n n (11119 WIMC IU I U1U lilt? household." "And here Is a whisk broom.

I T I Meanwhile Davie aiul Martha came home from school. Tom was working for a neighboring farmer. The family sat down to their meal, and (Jramlma Fields said her brief Quaker grace. "Did you know all youi lessons?" asked Aunt Patty. Martha hung her head. "I did hope you would have one good week, Martha; you never seem to get full marks." "And she was late," said Davie. Martha swallowed over a great sigh. "There was no need of your being late, Martha. Next time don't stop and I argue." "Of course 1 can't go now, anyhow," thought Martha; but she arose and began to help clear the table. "Maybe tliee would like to look over thy lesson?" sahl grandma, in lier soft tone. "There is only arithmetic this afternoon, and geography in the big map.'' "Ami the more time children have to play the more they want to play," was the sharp comment. "They are a good deal like kittens? plfty comes natural," was the soft rejoinder. "You cannot go, if that is what you are hanging around for," said Aunt Patty, presently; "and come straight home from school, too, or you'll be sorry for it." . Martha went off sullenly, and after making a good deal of trouble in | school, came home in the same mood. She wondered if she couldn't run away, or if some one would not take her to tend a baby, or do chores; anything would be better than Aunt Tatty's sharpness. But instead she hung up her sun hat and sat down to sew an over seam in a hateful sheet. And half a dozen girls were having a good time at Jessy Wells*. i iml is seweii very neatly," said grand ma. Aunt Tally looked at it. "Well, it's middling. You have soiled it p. good deal; liow often have 1 told you to wash your hands before you commence sewing? Now you eae put on that old skirt and go out anu weed that row of strawberries." Weeding was not a favorite employment. Davie came presently and they began to play "tag" around the; beds until Aunt Patty spied it out, and sent Davie to look for <'g>is. j "I don't believe you have found half of them," she said, when he canio in. "Come in and set tin- table, Martha," she called, presently. "Now, t<> morrow afternoon you will have to finish that row. You have been a bad, judolrnt girl to-day." It was so with most of .Martha Parker's (lays. And yet the neighbors. jiihI generally Miss Ivcwis, thought her a pretty good little girl. "But no one can ever suit Aunt Patty," the child said to Cramlma Fields; "it's always .something, oh, 1 wish you lived here and kept house," and Martha kissed the wrinkled hand. "I'm sure I don't know what to <!<? Willi those children!" Aunt Patty said as she sat sewing with grandma. "They do not improve one hit. I think they grow worse." The sweet eyes rested on the fretted face. Now Miss Patty Parker was not an unhandsome woman; indeed, in' girlhood she had been very pretty. "Isn't thy balance a little out of gear, Patty?" "My balance?" ejaculated the astonished lady. "Yes. Is thee careful to give good weight? Like begets like, you know." "I can't imagine what you mean." "Well, thee mustn't be offended, but I am afraid thee weighs a little too oioso. i nop seldom gives the children any credit for good measure, and tlio little over makes a good difference in the feelings of others." . "Hut you don't mean and it does in jnro children to l?o praising them < >n tinunliy," was the rather jerky n Joinder. "Has thoo tried it'.'' diss Parker sat silent. "Thoo i ?t fool hurt. Patty, hut I think th?iiu' i t<> in- a Just . man, and an ouin fooling, or i> lly regard, or npprer i i <<n, just as much belongs to its rightful owner as a pound of butter. Thoo sets a had example in giving tho ohildron short weight, for they pay hack in kind." Miss Patty considered grimly. Wasn't grandma right? She never (11(1 let the customer scale go (|uite down in these daily household matters. "I suppose my temper is a little spoiled. Nathan and the hoys are very trying. Hut I >vant to do right, and if you think " "A Just balance," said the sweet old voice. "(Jive what thee would like to get." "Oh, Aunt Patty," cried her niece, flying in from school breathless and ex- ! cited, "the whole menagerie is going to pass at the crossroads just at four. < nn r unvio aihi i go, just for this once? There's the most splendid chariots, and a great elephant, and " . Davie brought up the chorus and promised to be such a good boy all day to-morrow. And Martha would sew a few blocks of patchwork the next day. "There, children, don't be so noisy. Davie, will you promise to mind sister? And Martha, will you keep hold of,-his hand, and not lei him go Intol any danger?" It was wonderful that,she did not say, "I know I cannot .trust jrou." ( The children promised and rq/u off .. i i ... ^ 'v delighted, and it \fcos iull supper ume when tliey reached home again, their faces attesting their enjoyment. "Now, I'll run and hunt up the eggs," raid Davie, as soon as he had finished his meal. "I had to go out to ihe barn, and I did it," said his aunt. "Oh, Aunt l'atty, how good you were! We'll, I'll bring tlie chips and kindlings," and he came tugging a great basketful, though generally this [ was one of the boy's hardships. i "What a nice lot," said Aunt Patty. < Davie stared. t "Isn't there something else? Don't ( you want a pitcher of water?" c "George brought one." i So Davie sat on the doorstep with ^ his father and told him ail about the 'nagerie, and it was quite dark when Aunt I'att.v called him to go to bed. Martha hurried round the next morning, and found time to sew one block of patchwork. And she was In such c a gay good hi'.mor all day that Miss t Lewis asked her if she was bewitched, v "I think I must be, for Aunt Patty 1 praised me this morning," was her r reply. t It really was <i\iito wonderful what t a change came over the Parker house- v hold. The children wefe not angels, i mill tliey often forgot in the mi<lst of their lioKt intentions; but there was a more generous allowance made for them, a good weight thrown into the balance. For sometimes the kindly I c impulse, the ready will, is as much | . us the deed itself. And she found that Ij the generous measure reacted upon | herself. The pleasant temper of her I earlier years came back. r One morning Aunt Patty found a f< beautiful handkerchief case lying over j her plate at the breakfast table. The ' sides were gilt brlstol board, with her ! initials handsomely worked in green, s and around the edge a puff of green ribbon. And inside were two pretty ' handkerchiefs, and some neatly ( hemmed milling for neck and wrists. pn?A iirtiiAHf* ?? ?i* - i- * 1 VIUIII/I n |l,| 1111;? ITl' SI I I JlCIK'tl.

A dispatch from Augusta, Or., sayft: A recent decision in a Carolina liquor case is of considerable interest to the liquor dealers of this city, who have had considerable trouble, owing to the seizure of shipments into the state by dispensary constables. The decision is of interest because it defines the rights of a non resident shipper of whiskies and ninits the power <?t" the constable to seize and liolfl shipments. The decision is to the effect that no shipment of whiskies can be seized while in the hands of a common carrier, not even if the currier is a drayman, delivering the goods to the rightful owner. The goods must iirst pass into the hands of the owner and he released legally to him. This means that shipments of liquor cannot be seized while In the hands of railroads, steamship companies, or while being delivered to the owners by a transfer company or common drayman. * * Vindictive Politics. (Krom The Atlanta Journal.) The postofllce department has made public the appointment of George Washington Murray, a negro and an ex-congressman, as postmaster at tlio fourth-class office of lluger, S. C. This is President Roosevelt's reply, wo \r.iun nin f A f li it /Innw^nro ( i ^ nnntnil. Hon that he is a menace to the peaco and prosperity of tlie white and colored races of the south?a defiant answer if one of that character was hurled out of the white house. In addition to the objection raised by tho community against the appointee?an objection which in itself should have sufficient weight with the president to cause ilie appointment to be annulled?there is another and more serious consideration to be weighed. It is stated in reports from tho state capital of South Carolina that Murray has been convicted of forgery. This report has boon published in the newspapers broadcast, and as yet we have heard of no action that has been taken by the administration towards removing the negro from office. It seems to be a case of vindictive reprisal on the part of the president. For our part we are not in the least surprised since it is on a level with the other administrative acts towards the white people of the south to whom Roosevelt's candidacy does not appeal and from whom lie cannot hope to draw political strength. He had never allowed the appointment of a negro postmaster, we feel confident, over a community of white peoplo whom he had reason to expcct assistance in his race for the presidency.
