r On Its Ona Merits.
A young man who spent his summer
vocation on a Maine farm says that
new instances of the thrift and shrewdness
of bis landlady arc constantly
thrusting themselves upon his attention.
One day n wagon load of unexpected
relatives descended on ttT6 'Yn'rm, and
the mistress was, as she afterward
frankly said, "put to it" to provide
enough food for dinner. Flic brought
forward among other things an apple
pic which seemed to the boarder far
Inferior to the pies she usually made.
But when she served it she spoke of
her reputation as a picmaker.
"They do say r.t the sociables that
nobody's pies quite come up to mine,"
she remarked, with a beaming smile,
"and apple pies are what you might
call my specialty. I've often been
asked for the recipe, but I tell 'em it's
knack and Judgment does it, not rule."
The pie disappeared, and then, when
her guests were not as hungry as they
bad been, she brought forth a second
pie, flaky of crust and luscious to the
taste.
"Why, Aunt Mary," said the youn?a
..a?. ? i.?.. ~ nf
(irni ui iuv |?jh ly, 11 uujr ui inini', i
think this pie's ever so much better
than the other, nnd you haven't said
a word about it!"
His ndrit looked at him without so
much as a twinkle in her eyes.
"This one will go down without
praising, I reckon," she snhl gravely.
The Keeegihy of Mystery.
To be* content in utter darkness and
Ignorance is indeed unmanly, nnd
therefore we think that to love light
and And knowledge must be always
right. Tet (as in all matters beforo
observed) wherever pride lias any
share in the work even knowledge and
light may be ill pursued. Knowledge
Is good and light is good, yet map
perished In seeking knowledge nnd
the moths perish in seeking l^ght, and
If wo vwho are crushed before the
moth \rlil not accept such mystery as
Is needfnl to us we shall perish in like
manner. None but the proud will
mourn Wer this, for we may nlwnys
know jpore If we choose by working
on, but the pleasure Is, I think, to
hmnbl^ peoplo In knowing that the
jourue* Is ondless, the treasure Inezbaostiwe.?"Lamps

"Every once In awhile one rends in
the newspapers of the detennlnntlon
of sonic one cf the high governuieut
otllcin's to discover tlie source of 'the
leak* of a piece of news which it was
net desired should he given cut at that
particular time," remarked na old
Washington correspondent, "and without
giving the solution to the secret
escapes of pultlic information, as they
vary, I will tell you of ore instance
which serves to show how news appears
in print in what Is considered by
all concerned to he a very mysterious
manner. Like nil mysteries, when unraveled
it Is wondered that It was not
thought of before. My story Is entirely
a part of the secret sources of
Information which all correspondents
have more or less at their disposal
and which often comes from the outside
and not from the iuside of the
departments.
"Some time ago?the precise time 19

public matter was up for determination

In the belief that nil correspondents
have to do Is to go out, ask officials
for tho desired Information and receive
It, coupled with n good cigar and
a bottle of wine. As a matter of fact,
when officials wish to keep secret a
piece of Information, all possible loopboles
of escape are securely pndlocked,
and It is the exception that it gets out.

!.-? a. 'hear in this particular instance,
though 1 was, of course, as vigilant as
ever. The time for the maturing of tlie ]
project was close at hand, and any day i
it might by official announcement be- i
come public property. One night as I
was sitting Idly In the lobby of an up- i
town hotel, half dozing In my chair,
waiting for the appearance of a senator
with whom 1 had an appointment on an
luconsequoMtial matter, I overheard 0110 i
of two gentlemen who were sitting bo- j
hind nio drop the words 'the president.' 1
The high backs of our chairs nearly
touched, and by Instinct my drowsy
sensgs became clear and I woke up.
" 'The president,' remarked one of the I
gentlemen, 'said that it was his intcu- I
lion to adopt that course irrespective 1
of the consequences either to himself or <
the party.' i
" 'Hut you pointed out to him what it <
meant to us?that he was clearly in er- <
ror?' replied the other gentleman. "
'Elaborately,' responded the first !
speaker, 'but the president said that he 1
1 was convinced that accruing results
would prove that we, and not he, were
in error.'
" 'Then we may as well go back to '
Now York tomorrow,' was the answer, # <
and both gentlemen arose aud walked I 1
toward the cafe, apparently in a very I
despondent frame of mind. <
. "1 was an involuntary listener to this 1
scrap of conversation, in which, it will 1
be observed, not a single word was '
dropped as to the subject matter thereof.
1 at once jumped to the couclnsion '
that the government, through the president's
action, intended to take the affirmative
of the proposition, the news
6ldc of which the correspondents had
so long and earnestly eudcavorcd to
ascertain. With a straight tip as to the
course of the government tho correspondent
could do the rest, wlillo with
the wrong tip he could not only make
his paper ridiculous, but would in all .
probability lose his position; hence tho I
care In making a scare head, page wide I
story.
"In the furtherance of my conclusion
my paper hod the 'beat' of the season
the following morning, as I stated the
facts os though they came from official
sources, ns. Indeed, such I considered
them. To my mind, ns n correspondent,
it was as clear ns If the president himself
bad given me the Information. Two
days after, a member of the cabinet
goto out officially what I had wired
over and with It the announcement that
the leak* had occasioned^ much 'annoyance,
aod Its source Wgujd bit Investigated
thoroughly.' It 1? here'given correctly
