As oft I had walked before. My heart was heavily laden,‘ And with tears my eyes were dim; But I knew I should lose the burden Could I get a glimpse of Him. Over the trodden pathway To the fields all shorn and bare. I went with a step that faltered, , And a face that told of care. I had lost the light of the morning, With its shimmer of sun and dew; But a gracious look of the Master Would the strength of morn renew. While yet my courage wavered, And the sky before me blurred, I heard a voice behind me . Saying a tender word. And I turned to see the brightness Of heaven upon the road, And suddenly lost the pressure 01‘ the weary. crushing load. Nothing that hour was altered, .I had still the weight of care: But I bore it now with gladness Which comes of answered prayer. Not a grief the soul can fetter. Nor cloud its vision. when The dear Lord gives the spirit To breathe to His will. Amen. —M. E. Sangster, in Weekly Witness. Something About a Grange Store. Patrons in the town of Williamson, N. Y., are rejoicing over the success of their new store that was organized and charter obtained from the state April 15. The capital stock is $6,000 and the store «bears the name of Williamson Grange Mercantile Co. Notwithstand- ing the prophecy (that doubtless ema- nated from the desire of those who wished it might 'be so) that it would be short lived and would die a natural death in a very short time, it has to the contrary prospered beyond all ex- pectations. Although not yet four months old and a large store to begin with, yet the trade demands increased facilities and room andconsequently an addition 70x20 feet is under con— struction and will be ready for the early fall trade. ’ The system under which the busi- ness is conducted makes-it a guaran- teed success—for cash or barter is the adopted method and never deviated from in the slightest degree. In pay- ing cash for all purchases, the advan- tage of discounts is gained, and then - by selling at a very small profit, the buyer can reap the mutual benefit. Williamson is a live, enterprising busi- ness town, located in the heart of a rich fruit and farming country, and the new store is receiving the patron age of people living many miles dis- tant. The community seems to be awakening to the fact that peace of mind and prosperity can alone be se- cured by following the principle of pay as you go. When the secret of learning how to do that is once solved, then follows happy independence, no more embarrassments or mortgages or paupers, but a happy old age and death with the respect of all people; and the new grange store is exerting this si~ lent influence and hastening the day when all business, all merchants and all governments will adopt this prin- ciple, which is the only true one to build upon—J. M. H-inolf. \Vhen You Get Beyond Forty. There is no more delightful hobby for the woman who has lived long enough to tire of social pleasures than the cul« tivation of flowers. A gentle middle-aged maiden lady, who has passed years of pleasant liv- ing between the brownstone house of her ancestors on Murray Hill and the divers fashionable watering places on the Atlantic coast, varied by frequent trips 'to Europe, remarked in a naive andpretty way the other day that she had experienced quite a new sensation by planting some climbing beans near the post of a little porch belonging to a cottage annex where she had taken rooms for a couple of months. ' “Do you know, I had never planted anything before,” she said, “and it Was so strange to see the dear little things come up—it was like giving life.‘ I never realized before,” continued the kind ISpinster rather wistfully, “What a strange, beautiful miracle it is—the continual resurrection that is going on about us and the transformation of what is apparently dead into a lovely new existence. Of course, I knew things came up from seeds, and I dare say I have often seen them planted without thinking about them one way or the other, but I never thought espe- cially about it until I planted them my- self, and saw them bursting through the brown earth—the very same seeds that I had put into the ground myself only a few days before. Why, I felt like a creator.” -— HOUSEHOLD HINTS. You can drive nails into hard wood without bending them if you dip them first in lard, that is, if you can drive them at all. If grass stains in white goods are rubbed with alcohol before articles are put into soap and water the stains may be readily removed. The seeds of dates may be removed and replaced by freshly roasted pea- nuts, shelled ‘and skinned. The date should then be dusted with pulver- ized sugar. To cut fresh bread so that it may be presentable when served, heat the blade of the bread knife by laying first one'side and then the other across the hot stove. In hand sewing, if the work is stiff and hard, rubbing soap on one’s needle and fingers will be found to be helpful. A thin-edged piece of white soap is much better than chalk for making fine lines on cloth to cut by. The simplest icing for cake is made of the unbeaten white of the eggs mixed with a cup of powdered sugar and the juice of half a lemon. It is a mistake to beat the Whites of the eggs to a stiff froth for this purpose, as is so lreauently done. " i SMOKED oN A BROADWAY CAR. An Actress Wins a Wager for Sweet Char- -ity’s Sake. It was due to a wager made laughl. ingly, but accepted in sober earnest, that Delia Stacey smoked a cigarette on one of the Broadway cars of New York and succeeded in obtaining a great deal of not altogether pleasant noto- rie-ty between Forty-first and Four- teenth streets. . After paying her fare, Miss Stacey swallowed a lump which had gathered in her throat, drew a dainty .ca-se, bor- rowed for the occasion, from her pock- et, and extracted a cigarette. A portly, elderly lady beside her gave a gasp of surprise and eyed her curiously. The men sitting on her right nudged each other and awaited developments. Turning to a slender, pale-faced youth standing beside her, she smiled as well as her nervous condition would permit and said: “Will you kindly give me a match?” She did not intend to speak loudly, but her voice was heard above the din of clanging bells and rattle of the cable. Men in front of her swung round in their seats and looked at her curiously. One enthusiastic individual stood on the seat to get a better view. The pale- faced youth looked at her in a puzzled way and stammered: “I—I beg pardon?" DELIA STACEY. “Please give me a match,” she re- peated, blushing scarlet at the atten- tion she was attracting. The young man dived into his pocket and produced two lucifers which he timidly handed to her. She struck one against the back of the seat in front of her. It flickered and went out. The second met with a like fate, while, the portly lady beside her showed signs of apoplexy. A third match tendered her by the young man proved effective, and Miss Stacey, leaning back in the seat, puffed away as though she enjoyed it. 'Conductor No. 338 happened along to collect a fare. He took one look at the actress and turned the color of an un- ripe watermelon. He was so fiustered that in making change several coins slipped through his fingers and fell upon the floor of the car. The portly lady, with one withering glance, arose and signalled for the car to, stop, say- ing, as she left: “Well, I never!” When the parties to the wager ap- proached they found her almost on the verge of tears. ' “Wasn’t it a horrible thing to do?” she cried. “I never felt so mortified in my life. I’ll never make such a foolish wager again.” Then as the ridiculous- ness of the affair struck her, she burst out laughing. The $5 won was promptly given to the Junior Republic, an institution where the destitute children of New York are taught useful trades and the science of government. -Norwegian Thrift. Grass does not readily grow in Nor- way, and when cut is not easily dried. Hay, thefore, is of considerable val- ue, and is cut and carefully gathered up by handfuls in the most extraor- dinary places. It seems strange to an American to see haymakers at work on the rocky side of a mountain, where an American farmer would hardly expect half a dozen sheep to glean a living, and, stranger still, to see a man cutting his hay \on the roof of his own house; yet this is done, for sods, of earth take the place of tiles on many of the farmhouses. The sods are kept in their. place by a border of heavy stones; between these, in time, a natural lawn springs up, and is reaped by the inhabitants sev- eral times in a year, and regularly pastured by the goats and poultry. The peasants dry their hay by erecting hurdles all over the meadows and suspend the fresh cut grass upon them in swaths, exactly like clothes drying on a horse, so that it gets a maximum of the very brief sunshine, and a minimum of the very frequent rains. A Bicycle Restaurant. One of the latest developments of the bicycle craze is a restaurant on wheels constructed to serve bicyclists. It is a new style carrier tricycle, and the man who runs it expects to fol- low the roads frequented by bicycle riders and serve to them hot meals. A desk-like affair is built between the two rear wheels, while several drawers contain: dishes and food sup » plies. A gas range with three burn- ers surmounts this, and is connected by a series of pipes with a gasoline tank about a foot long. In the open place in front of the tank frying pans are tucked away. A canopy of can- vas covers the kitchen, and attached to the side supporters are framed cards on which is printed the list of dishes served. Over good roads the man who runs this machine can make excellent time. .It has been suggested that many of the bicycle clubs that make excursions into the country may find it convenient to take along with them a tricycle restaurant that can serve the meals whenever a stop is made. By doubling up the power on one of these carrier tricycles, a bar for the sale of cool drinks might be, provided. "(.,.r' WK A K]. Y ._ K o a w A LE GAZETTE atonement The Cuban Secretary of War Accused of Filibustering. HELD I UNDER $2,500 BAIL. ‘ He Is Charged With Promoting the Lau- rada Expedition and Is Known as a “Fire Enter” In the Insur- gent Army of Cuba. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Generai Carlos Rolofl, a Cuban, was arrested as he was leaving the building 22 Nassau street on the charge of aiding and abetting the sending of filibustering expeditions to Cuba. He was held in $2,500 bail by Com- missioner Alexander. General Bolofl is said to be a major general in the army of General Gomez, who, it is said, came to this country about two in onths ago-for the purpose of fitting out fliibustering expedi- tions to aid Cuba. He is charged with be- ing connected with the Laurada expedi- tion and others. Who Bolofl‘ Is. Carlos Roloff is secretary of war for the Cuban provisional government. He left Cuba about seven weeks ago for Florida, and a short time later left the south quietly and came to New York, arriving here on Sept. 11. He only staid in the citya few hours before hurrying off to the country place of T. Estrada Palms. head of the junta. The reasons for his flying visit were not made public, but the general opinion was that it was connected with some coup d’etat for Cuba’s freedom. At, the junta’s headquarters it was said at the time of his departure for Palma's home that the patriot would not return to New York for over a week. Rolcff has for years been a prominent figure in Cuban politics, and as far back as 1892 was known to be in charge of se- cret expeditions to supply arms to the au- tonomists. . ‘ A Pole by Birth. Rolofl, as his name implies, is not a Cuban by birth. He was born in Poland and emigrated at an early age to Cuba, taking active part in the revolution of 1868. In this long, futile struggle he rose to the rank of general. After the revolution Rolofl visited South American countries and served with dis- tinction in more than one of them. He ’has a deservedly wide popularity among his compatriots, and in recognition of his past services and known ability Was, on the forming of the provisional govern- ment, raised to the office of minister of war. He is 59 years old and of commanding presence, and is known throughout the length and breadth of Cuba as an invet- erate “fire eater. ” A Battle \Vith Bandits. DENVER, Sept. 18.—-It is reported here that 50 bandits, or revolutionists, attack- ed the city of Palomas, Mexico, and that a battle took place between them and a body of Mexican troops. One account says that the attacking party was the ad- vance guard of a large band of revolution- ists. Palomas is 50 miles from a tele- graph cflice, and no details are obtainable.
