THAT’S WHEN.

When does advertising pay?
When the darkness follows day,
When the winter precedes spring.
l... When the song birds learn to sing.
- When the deaf no longer hear,
W’hen the Anarchist loves beer.
When the chickens feathers wear.
When the sailor learns to swear.
When the shiftless go in debt, ,
When the running streams are wet.
When the tramp for leisure yearns.
When the ice no longer burns,
When the business man is wise—
That‘s the time to advertise.

FROM THE RUBAIYAT“

They had been talking about Omar
. Khayyam’s Ruba-iyat Sonata, and Wa
terford, who had become the happy pro-
prietor of this delightful volume on:
damp morning in Calais, while waiting
for the stout little steamship which was
to convey him,vafter certain tempestu-
ous hours, to moist, green England,
glanced at the charming profile of the
young lady beside him, with a faint
hope that her pretty silence might be
terminated by something clever and
suggestive.

“I fear you will find me rather a dull
person,” he said at last. “In England,
you know, when they present people
they always make it a biographical oc-
casion. They say. ‘This is Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones has just been killing some-
thing.’ I haven’t been killing anything,
but I have read the Rubaiyat. Do you
know it at all?"

“Oh, yes, I know it very well,” re-
turned she, breaking ofi a bit of roll
and looking at him, smilingly, over her
shoulder. “Indeed, I was thinking that
you are not like the man there—yon
can’t say, ‘A jug of wine, a loaf of
bread, and thou beside me, singing in
the wilderness. Oh, wilderness were
paradise enow.’ ”

“Ah! but it would cease to be a wil-
derness then,” said Waterford quickly.
‘ ‘You’d make it popular. ”

“Oh, yes,” said she. “I’d have them
all, positively everybody. I’m very fond

- of company.”

He politely replied that under such
circumstances her opportunities for soli-
tude must be rare. And as he did so
he said to himself that pictorially, at
least, she was a singularly happy speci-
men of the American type. Her deli-
cate color, her bright freshness, her
even features, her virginal young eyes.
her expression of unconscious serenity
that was at once so confident and so in-
nocent, so alert and so pure, made a por-
trait very lovely to look upon.

,He felt a. quick, grateful wish to give
her pleasure, to bestow his best, and he
believed, when the conversation was in-
terrupted by what he called that brutal
Saxon interval of drink and smoke, that
it terminated with regret. He hoped
they might renew it. but when the men
rejoined the ladies she was standing in
the doorway, with her white cloak
about her shoulders.

“Goodby,” he said. “Must you go so
soon? There are ever so many things I
want to talk with you about. Won’t
you say to your mother, please, that I
hope to present myself shortly?”

“Ah, do come!" said she. “Mamma
would be so glad to see you again.
Come Sunday afternoon. We always
see people Sunday afternoon.” ‘

On the succeeding Sunday,Waterford

. found opportunity to express his happi-
ness in again meeting Mrs. Thorpe, and
after that pleasant occasion it was soon
taken for granted that he would make
one of the group of young men who ar-
ranged themselves in what he thought
highly irregular attitudes on the draw-
ing-room chairs. '

. It happened one afternoon, as Water-
ford was saying goodby, he held her

hand, instead of releasing it, and asked
her very simply and tenderly to let him
keep it always. She looked away from
him for an instant, as though she was
looking beyond him and into her future,
and then she raised her eyes, beautiful
with what he thought the sweetest, love-
liestfight he had ever seen shine froma
pure soul. The marriage came off in

May, and after apoetic journey through

lands supposed to be in harmony with

recent wedded bliss, they returned to a

delightful old house in Eleventh street
and an appreciative circle of friends.

They were both ridiculously happy, and

both in secret scored a common terror
that such felicity, in a world of suffer-
ing and transition, must be succeeded
by some vaguely threatening horror.

They had not yet grasped the richest

fulfilment of companionship that comes
through sorrow born in love.

Mr. Waterford’s money was invested
in one of those large commercial enter-
prises which had been a family concern
for years, and which, some time previ-
ous to his marriage, had been merged
into a “trust.” His uncle was presi-
dent, and the shares paid enormous divi-
dends. During the panic, of . course,
the price went tumbling down, along
with the rest of the “industrials,” but,
as he was not pressed for funds, it did
not worry him. ,

One morning, however, he glanced
over the paper, carelessly enough, and
then rushed downtown with a scared,
white face. The American Button
Trust had announced its insolvency and
applied for a receiver. The stock was
unlisted and absolutely unmarketable.
Waterford was mined! Everything
had to go—even her jewels.

They hired a little flat somewhere up-
town, and the beautiful house was to
let and most of the furniture sold.
Edith had kept up bravely, so bravely
and cheerily. “Don’t you remember
the Rubaiyat, dear?” she said, patting
his knee. ‘A jug of wine, a loaf of
bread and thou beside me singing in the
wilderness.’ That was the first speech
I ever made, wasn’t it? I’m sure [fiv- ,
erty can’t be so terrible while we have
each other. There are a hundred worse -
troubles might have come to us.” But
when they went down the steps for the
last time, and she looked back at the
curtained drawing-room window, the
window in which fits medic stand and
watch for him in the happy win e ’s twi-
light, and saw the auctioneer’s ra

“Goodby, old home,” she cried, turning
her h‘erhead away, “goodby!” Water-
ford took her hand and pressed it fur-
tively, but she didn’t return that kind
gesture, and for the first time his heart
sank within him and he wished he
might die.

- Once, he was unable to meet his rent
when due, and the landlord came and
dunned .her for it—he wondered how
she bore it so. Cut off from friends,
home, society, every elegance to which
she had been accustomed, condemned
to a life of petty hardships and miser-
able sacrifices, what was his poor affec-
tion in the balance? She 'must regret,
how could any woman help it? Ah,
fatal lines! He had, indeed. brought
her into “the wilderness.” She cher-
ished him, and he looked into her kind
eyes and thought, “How unselfish she
is." She caressed him, and he said to
himself, “How she ities me.”

Christmas eve ha come, and Water-
ford was trudging home through the
lights and falling snow, thinking with
a sardonic humor of last year, and the
presents he had bought her. They had
been giving a dinner, and just as she
was going down he had slipped behind
her and had clasped a circlet of dia-
monds around her neck. He remem-
bered with a thrill how she had turned
and smiled at him over her shoulder,
standing there before her glass, bril-
liant, flashing, beautiful. He had no
present for her this Christmas (they had
agreed they were too poor to buy each
other gifts), but as he let himself in,
and she came quickly, happily to meet
him, and put her white young arms
about his neck, and looked up into his
eyes with such a smile as only love can
paint, he bent over her and fastened a
great rose in her hair. “Merry Christ
mas,” he said, in rather a choky voice,
and she felt a tear on her forehead.

“And now you must come into the
library,” she said. And putting her
arm about his waist, she pushed aside
the curtain, and there, draping the
chimney-piece, was one of those pale
silk scarfs, along the length of which
was wrought a quaint, curiously em-
broidered pattern.

"Ah,” he said, a little reproachfully,
“you promised not to buy me any-
thingl”. _ .

“I didn’t buy it. I made it for you,"
she said. “Do you like it?” she added,
giving him a queer look. “You are to
understand that it is immensely clever,
and that it is all out of my own head.”

Many a night he sat smoking before
thatsurface of faded silk, and when the
old doubts of her would now and again
chill his heart, the thought of the dear
hands that had embroidered it somehow
soothed and quieted him, so that once,
when it was removed, he asked for it
and had it put back again.

But the Waterfords’ poverty was dis-
sipated almost as unexpectedly as it had
come upon them. The A. B. T. had
been reorganized, and the assessment
paid in had replaced the property on a
paying basis. Our friend’s uncle had
managed quietly to scrape together suf-
ficient funds to pay both his nephew’s
subscription and his owu, and to Water-
ford’s astonishment, he received one
morning, not only a notification of
this, but a check for the current divi-
dend.

They went abroad that summer, and
in the autumn were enabled to take
back the old house in Eleventh street,

where they lived in comfort and dc ~

gance. Only Waterford, despite Edith's
smiling protest, insisted that the now
faded scarf should decorate the new li-
brary. -

“It’s the only thing I can’t do with-
out.” he said.

He thought as she busied herself ar-
ranging it, with her back to him, that
the small speech had pleased her more
than any compliment he had ever paid
her, and he wondered at the inscutable
ness of woman,

“Oh, by the way,” he said one morn-
ing at breakfast, “I met an old chap at
the club last night, a Persian Professor.
I remembered you used to be fond of
Oriental things, so I asked him to dine
this evening. I hope he will interest
you.”

The Professor proved sufficiently en-
tertaining, and after dinner his host
took him upstairs for a brandy and
soda and a cigar. The old man wander-
ed around ‘the room, examining cabi-
nets, and displaying a mild pleasure in
some Eastern porcelain.

Suddenly his eye happened to catch
the drapery, and, bending forward, he

began to scrutinize it with the most ,

eager curiosity.

“That’s very remarkable,” he said,
“very remarkable! May I ask where
you got that?”

“That?” said Waterford, rather sur-
prised. “Why, I didn’t get it at all, in
the usual sense—my wife made it for
me. I am very fond.of it for its associ-
ations. You have seen something like
it, perhaps?"

“Like it,” returned the Professor,
beaming at him through his glasses.
“My dear sir, there is nothing like it in
America. Why, that is a pure Persian
design, with an Arabian text. That is
the celebrated quotation from the Rub-
aiyat—‘A jug of wine, a loaf of bread,
and thou beside me, singing in the wild-
erness, oh, wilderness were paradise
enow.’ ”

Waterford’s hands dropped to his
side—through dim eyes he gazed once
more at the old drapery—his face wore
a strange look of happy, exultant peni-
tence.

“Excuse me a moment,” he said pres-
ently, “I want to speak to my wife.”—

From Napoleon’s flat.

Among the presents recently received
by the Empress of Germany which she
prizes highly is a relic given her by the
Austro-Hungarian Ambassador in Ber-
lin. It is a diamond buckle, which was
one of the principal ornaments of the
gala hat of Napoleon I, and was found
in the imperial baggage captured by a
Prussian regiment lat the battle of
Waterloo. There is also a tradition
that it was worn by Napoleon at his
coronation in Notre Dame, on Decem~
lot 21, 1804. ‘

GRANT AND one”: BEN.
the President Remembered the Old Man
‘7 ho was Kind to Him, -

. D. R. Garrison told'a story to General '

Schofield, at the Dent House, which il-
lustrates to a certain extent the kind.-
heartedness of General Grant. Grant
was a great lover of horses, and, while
he was President, he came on a visit to
St. Louis, and Mr. Garrison, at that
time'President of the old Pacific road,
took him out to his farm. Theystarted
ofi in a buggy for a drive, and, after
going some distance, met an old man
going along on a horse. The man was
in his shirt sleeves and were a straw
hat, but Grant recognized him, and,
stopping the buggy, he got out and,
walking up to the old man, put out his
hand and said: “Hello, Uncle Ben!
How are you and the old woman get-
ting along?”

The old man was Uncle Ben Sapping-
ton. He welcomed the President and
said he was getting along very well.
He remarked that they were happy as
long as they had enough to eat and a
pipe and a little tobacco.

“Uncle Ben, wouldn’t you like to be
postmaster of Meramee township?”
asked the President.

Uncle Ben said he would not object,
and Grant shook him by the hand and

said: “God bless you and your wife,

‘Jncle Ben. I think of you often.”

When Grant got back in the buggy
the tears were streaming from his eyes,
and he said to Mr. Garrison: “Poor old
Uncle Ben! He has a big heart. I re-
member,” he said, “when I and my
wife, living in that house over there,
did not have any more to eat than need-
ed, and old Uncle Ben would come
around to' the house at night and leave
a basket of provisions on our doorstep.
He was afraid to come and give them
to us, thinking that he would possibly
hurt our feelings. God bless his mem-
ory!”

Uncle Ben was made postmaster, and
after living to a ripe old age he joined
the great majority and was followed by
Grant a few years ago.

[A NOVEL EXPERIENCE.

Wiley was Arrested with $7,000
on Kim.

James C. Wiley, formerly aranch-
man of Greeley, was arrested by the
police a short time ago and locked up
on a charge of vagrancy, but when
City Jailer Hobaft searched him he
found money in every pocket. the total
footing up the very unvagrant like sum
of $7,761.50. Immedia" :ly the charge
of “vagrancy” was smutched off the
police record and “concealed weapons"
substituted, for Wiley conveniently
had a big revolver in his pocket. ’

Oflicers had noticed Wiley for several
hours lounging on Larimer street, and
his actions had looked suspicious. He
was dressed very shabbily and he seem-
ed to spe-td his time following people
and star .g at 'them. He followed
Officer lizidricks two blocks, looking
at his b: es buttons.

Oflicer Kovsky’s uniform caught
Wiley’s eye yesterday morning, and
when he followed Kovsky the oficer
determined to arrest him. Wiley went
to the station meekly enough, but when
an effort was made to search him he re-
sisted and help had to be called.

He had money in nearly every pock-
et. There were certificates of deposits
on Denver banks aggregating $7,000
and gold and currency to make the to-
ml $7,761.50. In answer to the sur-
prised questions cf the officers Wiley
said he used to be a ranchman at
Greeley, where he and his brothers had
made a fortune out of their farm and
had retired from business. He said he
had been stopping at the Western Ho-
tel, taking things easy.

When the money had been restored
to him he wastaken to the Police Court
and fined $25 for carrying concealed
weapons. This he paid without a
murmur and was allowed to go.—-Den-

The airy persifiage that may be heard-

“over the tea cups” in cultured Boston
may be imagined from the following
from the pen of a clever observer, who
thus describes a scene from a day at
home:

,"The fair young hostess has dispensed
her fragrant cups to all, and is leaning
back in a quaint, antique chair, which
forms a charming setting for the old
time dress which modern girls are
wearing, the Marie Antoinette fichus
and brocades and high combs. One of
the newcomers, leaning an elbow on the
mantel piece, says abruptly:

“ ‘Do you know, I’ve wanted that
fine old chair of yours ever since I first
saw it.’

“The chair's occupant drops her lash-

es overaher eyes and says, demurely:

“ ‘The furniture and I go together.’

“ ‘Ah! In that case, I’ll call to-mor-
row with a carriage and an express
wagon.’

" ‘Oh, but I didn’t say we went tc

aristocrat, who knows equally well the
value of her heirlooms and herself, and
does not appraise them at any low es-
timate.”

She—Did she throw out any induce-
ment for you to call again?

He—Oh, yes; she said her father had
refused to pay the gas bill, and the com-
pany was going to take out the meter.

Clean Dairies.

There is hardly a single reform now
needed in farming greater than that of
securing extreme cleanliness about our
milking. It is a great pity that we
have lost the English and Dutch custom
of having the cows handled entirely by
the women, and so the dairy product
be in their hands from the beginning.
The original meaning of the word
daughter was milker. Having occasion
lately to buy a few quarts of milk per
day for a few weeks, I found most of it
tainted from the barnyard. In one
case it was so foul that it could not be
used. Even the cats refused to drink
it. I was led to. investigate, and found
one herd in a barnyard where the urine
was a foot deep, and the cows were a
horrible sight. In another yard the
hired man spit on his hands frequently
while milking. Remonstrating, I was
told, “Oh, lots of ’em do that.” The
sum of my investigation was a resolu
tion to buy as little milk as possill:.
But in our own yards it needs the most
constant watching and determined su
pervision to prevent the average hired
man from habits which foul the milk.

There is no reason why a horse should
be groomed and curried that does not
equally apply to a cow. It conduces to
her he..2th and to the flow of milk. It
isvastly more important for our own
health. The milk from the large dairy
that I found too bad for men or cats
goes into a creamery every day to be
worked up into butter. That this i-
wholesome for consumers no one need
assert. It is a steady source of disease.
It is an outrage on the community.

The average American barnyard is
far from what it should be. It has not
improved largely on what it was when
our people camped in the woods as pio
neers.—J. Morgan.

Care of the Team in Summer.

Sore shoulders. necks and backs are
largely the result of carelessness and
ignorance. When the harness or saddle
presses heavily upon muscles not accus-
tomed to such pressure, the walls of the
blood vessels are compressed until the
normal flow of blood is stopped, and
the delicate vessel Walls are bruised
along with the muscular fibres. When
the pressure is removed, the blood
rushes into those weakened vessels with
such pressure that the blood serum is
forced through them and we have the
soft fluctuating swellings under the
skin. If these accumulations are not

removed, either by resorption or artifi- .

cially, there results a callous enlarge
ment that is ever afterward a point for
inquiry. Such may be avoided. When-

"’ever a team at heavy work, or a young

horse not accustomed to work is stopped
to rest, and that should be frequently
instead of long, raise the harness and
collar and manipulate the flesh a little
with the hand to restore the blood cir-
culation. On removing the harness
bathe the parts under pressure with
cool water.

 

To Feed the Thanksgiving Bird.

After young turkeys are twenty-four
hours out of‘ the shell, they will be
ready for “a breakfast. Good success
has usually followed making the first
few meals consist of curds and stale
bread soaked in milk or water, and like
the curds, squeezed as dry as possible,
and given in a crumbly state. If they
are not at hand it will not be necessary
to give any hard-boiled eggs, although
they are a good thing to start the
poults’ bill of fare. Even when the
hard-boiled eggs are used they should
not displace the bread, but go with it.
If bread is to become one of the prInci-
pal articles of food it should be secured

~ in quantities sufficient to allow it to

harden before being used. When near
a bakery or dealer in bread or near .a
hotel. stale bread can easily be obtained
at small cost. Tins, with milk, will
make good diet for the poults, and at
the same time not be very expensive.
An onion or two, chopped fine and
mixed with the food, will add to its
healthfulness.

A Second Fodder Crop.

Barley and peas is another fodder
crop that has been tried on a small scale
for the past two years. The area or
which oats and peas has been fed of
during July was plowed early in A
gust and seeded to barley and peas
the rate of 1 1-2 to 2 bushels of each 1.
acre. This crop furnishes good fee,
during October. Peas and barley are
not injured by frost, and if the fall
months are cool and moist, a large
amount of valuable forage may be pro.
duced. The peas should be covered
three to five inches deep, while the bar-
ley should be harrowed in. The mix
ture gives a more highly nitrogenous
fodder than barley alone. When deeply
covered, the peas seem to grow nearly as
well in the spring. As there are few
forage plants that are not injured by
frosts, this mixture seems worthy of the
faithful consideration of dairymen.
The lighter seeding, if made early in

July, will make a growth sufficient for-

it to be cut for hay before cold weather.

CAP’T. REARDON’S MEMORIES.

Other Notables.

Capt. J. E. Reardon, who has been on
the Ohio for sixty years, 5 ys that he
met Lincoln, Clay and many other
prominent men before the war, some of
them frequently.

“In the hard cider campaign of 1840.
Lincoln came down to our country_on
horseback,” said the Captain. “He was
candidate for Elector on the Whig tick»
st, and traveled with a man named
Lambert. I heard him speak at Shaw
neetown, New Haven and Carmi. The
meetings were held in «log cabins, and
the hard cider and the coons Were al-
ways there. Douglass I saw several
times in the 50’s. lay was a frequent
visitor at Shawneetown. and Zach Tay-
lor I met here also and at Louisville.
Clay I first met in Louisiana. He had
a cotton plantation down there and 00-
casionally visited it.

On one of these trips the boat he was
on, the Andrew Jackson, stopped at
Shawneetown, and the whole town
went aboard to greet the popular states-
myn. Sam Marshall made a speech in
behalf of the Shawneetowners and Clay
responded in a manner which made
him still more popular in that part of
the country.

“When the time for separating came
he shook hands with a good many and
kissed some of the girls. Nearly all the
old ladies of that town to-day will tell
you that Henry Clay kissed them at
that reception over a half a century
ago.

“John A. Logan married in Shawnee-
town.

“John did most of his courting at my
house,” said Reardon. “Miss Cunning-
ham lived. near us, and was generally
there when Logan came down from
Benton, where he was reading law, to
see her. Bob Ingersoll spent four years
about town, reading law. In those days
Bob had the most remarkable memory
I ever knew. After reading an article
in a newspaper he could repeat it al—
most word for word.”

The Captain is over 75 years old, and
looks good for ten years more of active
steamboating. He was born at Mount
Vernon. 111, about eighty miles from
St. Louis. He has owned several boats
since the war and made a good many
trips to St. Louis, as well as to points
on the Ohio and Lower Mississippi. The
boat he is now running was named in
honor of a daughter of Gen. Buford
Wilson of Springfield.§0ne of his sons is
General Superintendent of the Chicago,
Peoria & St. Louis Railroad—St. Louis
Globe- Democrat.

Her Thoughts.

Their first quarrel. »

The young wife sat in the gathering
twilight, gazing absently out of the
window, thinking of the event, which
seemed so long ago—in reality that
very morning—which had come to mar
the happiness of their hitherto un-
clouded married life. It had all come
up so swiftly and was over so suddenly
that even now she could scarcely recall
h—CTW-it had first begun. Oh, yes, she
remembered, and such a trivial matter.
too, that she was almost ashamed now
to acknowledge it to herself. To think
that a cup of coffee should have com:
between them, and a cup of bad coffee
at that!

Yes, she confessed to herself that it
was bad, and that he had aright to
complain. When he spoke of it in his
gentle way she had felt the ‘hot blood
mount to her cheeks, and almost before
she knew it she had told him that he
would better go to his club, where he
would doubtless be better served. This
had aroused him, and his reply was to
the effect that she was no doubt correct
in what she said, and that it would has
pretty poor club, etc. Even now she
could hear the slam of the door as he
went out and recall the bitter rebellious
feelings that had come over her, and
yet how long ago it seemed.

Since then, during the long, anxious
day, she had had time to reflect. All
this angry feeling had gone now, and
in place of it she was conscious of a
lgreat sadness, a deep remorse. For in
the moments of calmness that had come
to her she felt that he was right. If she
had only been willing at the time to ac-
knowledge that he was right, and to
promise better in the future. How
many times, she reflected, had be ac-
knowledged himself wrong! But her
absurd pride had stood in the way.
Never mind, she said to herself; she
would make it up to him. Dear boy!
No wonder that he had become angry
with her! Would he forgive her now?
She wondered. Why did he not come?
Oh, the passionate longing for him that
she had in heart! She wished she
might go up behind him softly and put
her arms around his neck and ask his
pardon.

And yet, in the midst of her reverie,
when he came gently in and stood si-
lently in the centre of the room, she
could not, somehow, bring herself to
speak first. She continued to gaze out
of the window, while he said, as he
came up behind her, in just the way
that she would come up behind him:

“Darling, will you forgive me?”

Then she turned her head slowly
around, and looking at him with a su-
perior smile, replied:

“This time, you foolish boy, but you
must promise never to act so again.”—
