TIE GUILTY rARTY.
, i-- Oua of the moat powerful short sto
> lies written by the late O. Henry was
\ called "The Guilty Party."
Like many of hia stories, the scene
was laid In the east side. New York,
on which "aa twilight falla Bates aets ,
up his recruiting offlce."
"'Papa, won't you play a gamy of
checker* with me, if you aren't too
1 tired T
"Tbe red haired, unshaven, untidy
man sitting shoeless by the window
answered, with a frown:
" 'Checkers! No, 1 wlhj 2an't a
man who works hard aU u«j have a
Uttle rest when he cornea hornet Why
don't you go out and play with the
other kids on the sidewalk t
"The woman, who waa cooking,
came to tbe door.
" 'John.' she said. 'I don't like for
Lizzie to play In the atreets. They
learn too much that ain't good for
them. She's been in tbe house all day
' long, it seems that you might give
up a little of your time to amuse her
when you come home.'
" 'Let her go out and play like the
rest of 'em If she wants to be amused,'
.Aid the red haired, unshaven, untidy
man, 'and don't bother me.'"
Which is tbe first part.
And the sequel?
Ten years later Lizzie, who baa tak
en ber father's advice and found ber
entertainment on tbe streets, in a fit
of drunken frenzy kills her lover on
account of jealousy and commits sui
cide.
And this ls Henry's "dream:"
He dreamed he was in the next
world and sees Lizzie brought to the
judgment bar. And tbe angel prose
cutor says:
"You haven't the guilty party. He
Is that red haired, unshaven, untidy
man sitting in bis stocking feet by
tbe window while his child plays in
the street."
An overdrawn picture?
Possibly. But there's tbe moral:
Oftentimes it is the parent who la
really guilty of the child's dellqnency.
Play with your children, it Is aa
much your duty as to feed them. If
you would safeguard them make them
your playmates, your conlidants, your
chums. Let home, not street Influ
ences, dominate.
1 Moreover, playing with your chil
dren will help to keep you from grow
ing old. Tb-sre la no better tonic than
association with the light beartedness.
tbe enthusiasm, tbe play of "children.
Play with your child, leat, unhap
pily, you may become "the guilty par
ty." -  , I
TO THE MAN OF riTTT.
I have two friends, each 'fifty years
of age, who have retired ' from busi
ness.
As I myself am on the shady side of
fifty, though as young in spirit aa any
boy, I wanted to know how these men
looked upon life.
One said:
"I had a bard fight to make my mon
ey. No one helped me; orj the contrary,
everybody tried to beat me. 1 have
enough to pay all bills while I am on
earth. I am under no obllgationa to
anybody."
The other said: ■ ; -
"I tried to do 1 soma good as I went
along," but failed. I Am tired of th«
struggle. I have earned a raat. I have
no grievance against any oua. Let the
world wag as It will."
I waa surprised at tbe bitter dregs I
had discovered in thebottom of these
hearts. « J
Tbey are wrong, both of them.
They hauled down the flag too aoon
They were well whipped, though still
boastful. The battle of life la only
nbout one-half over at fifty.
Both these men had lost the fln
flush of enthusiasm and tbe line edge
of endeavor which should come to the
veteran when tbe drams are sounded
for a charge.
They bad quit the day'a Job white II
was yet noon. " -
And, having quenched tbe spirit, tbey
bad shortened their days. *
Like some forest trees, they are dead
not only at the tope, but In the heart
of them.
A man should not quit growing SC
long as there Is In blm tbe sap «f aell
development nor ao long aa ha can he
useful to bis fellows.
Roll np your sleeves. Fifty!
Suppose Franklin or Edison had re
tired at flfty. how much the world
had lost!
Some of the bast work done by hu
mans baa been dona by men botwoes

Quit at fifty? Why. that's traaaon.

visions of your boyhood,

SNOMEKY IN SWNtT SKRTS.
A Chicago woman who seat her
daughter to a private boarding school ,
tella this story:
"I asked my daughter after a few
days how aha Uked the achool and haw
aha got along. My girl eaid:
"'Well, mother. It's s vary atol
achool, but the little girl* are th«
straageet creatures. Tbe first thing
they eald was, "How many carriages
have you?" Aad 1 aaid, "Why. we
>1 haven't say carriage."
"'And what do you think, mother,
before I could finish what I waa sif
tng a little girl turned np her noaa
and walked away from mo aad aaid
to another little xkri:
-'"What** *be doing keref Why,
they havaat evea a canteen.'' -
" 'And I aaid.' went on the child ex
citedly, 'we hadn't any carriage, bat
wo had sa automobile. "Oh, have
yon? Wen, ifs all right, than, pot jre
have three carrlagee and an automo
bile and a runabout aad seven serv
ants, and my mother has thirty-five
pairs of shoes."
" 'Mother,' continued tbe child,
'think of any one having thirty-five
pairs of shoes.'
"Another girl remarked to my daugh
ter: 'I have a new pair of shoes. They
cost sl2. What did your* coat?* And
tbe fibbed when abe said, 'Oh. eight or
ten dollars.'
"As a matter of fact my girl's shoes
cost $3. and I spent an hour trying
to convince my child of the Inaignlfi
' cance of wealth compared with other
thing*."
, Well!-
| Somehow one feels as If one might
think better of that mother had she
promptly removed her child from that
sort of atmosphere.
Vulgar pretense of superiority be
cause of the poeseaaion of the trap
ping* of .wealth la an Insufferable
j thing.
What may be expected from a girl
wbo from Infancy ha* been encourag
ed to indnlge such a silly vanity?
A child whose mind and heart are
filled with an undue regard for dress
and ostentation will in her maturity
grow Into little more than a flaunting
butterfly of fashion.
And It need not provoke your special
wonder that in thia sort of "high life"
there should bo satiety and heart
burnings and closet skeletons.
We need another Thackeray in a
new "Vanity Fair," who will puncture
the snobbery of some modern board
ing school.
"TO THE UNKNOWN LAND."
Of recent pictures, one of surpassing
interest aud which baa attracted much
attention Is that of Blair Lelgbton. en
' titled "To the Unknown land."
The picture tells a story that. alas.
Is all too frequent In our common life
—a story In symbol of a little child's
death and tbe grief of a mother.
This la the picture story:
A small boat Is leaving tbe sbore.
At tbe bow sits the oarsman—Death. In
the stern Is a resplendent white robed
angel, whoee great drooping wings
tench the water on either side.
In tbe arma of the angnl is tbe wee
child, smiling up into tbe face of tbs
heavenly messenger come to take it to
"the Unknown Land."
That is' half the picture.
The other half—tbe sad phaso of Itr
is tbe figure of the bereft mother
kneeling on tbe ebore. alone, desolate,
bowed in agony, aa tbe child I* being
borne away on the waste of water*.
Her sky is dark, and the only gleam
of light Is the radiance that streams
'from tbe presence of tbe uQgel visitant
and reflected from the face of tbe babe.
Tbe picture ia great—because It Is
true.
It fills Tolstoy'* definition of real art
—a message from the heart to tho
heart.
How poignant la tbe suffering of a
mother wbo. having gone down into
tbe valley of the shadow to hold her
babe In ber arma, feela it wrenched
from her embrace—forever!
Only a mother can know *uch Buffer
ing-
In tbe first paroxysms of her poor,
broken heart no consolation can avaliy
Tbe picture truly shows the mother
alone. Alone she must tread tbe wine
press of Alone and deaolate!
But—
I By and by she begins dearly to
bold in her heart aome such picture as
that one of the heavenly meeaenger
holding and guarding her child a* tht
oarsman row* It away.
. Or- _ .... . _ .
tee baa canght the vision of e shep
herd. tender faced, who bolda oat bis
arma to aay, "Suffer tbe Uttle children
to come unto me and forbid tbem not,
for of such I* the kingdom." "Of
such"- her babe—la the kingdom.
- And though tbe tear* yet flow tbey
are no longer bitter tea re of agony.
Through the teleecope of her tears
•he ha* looked upon a vision of her
baby in "tbe Unknown Land."

Tbe credit system In some respects
l is a boon, but It has rnlned many a
! man.
Credit makes it easier •• \>uy than
when you have to pay spot casb.
But settlement day comes.
You mnst pay for everything you
• get in this life—everything. You pay
i down or you pay later on. But you
1 pay!
Tbe easiest and best way to get
' things 1* to pay aa you go. bec*u*e In
'' some way or another you must settle.
1 "See that man." you say. "He has
stocks und bonds and buildings. How
1 I envy him!" But that man has paid
' for everything he possesses: maybe in
sleeple** nights, in sweat of brain. In
'■ lost pence of mind—be has paid in full,
| or must psy.
It la tbe law of price.
That spender of the Great White
Way who revels In luxurious delight*
| and unlawful plea*ure«? He pay*. He
pays tbe price of his manhood.
Tbe laay loafer, tbe drunkard, the
gourmand; tbey pay, and pay heavily.
Aud whoever tries to cheat nature
1 pays. If It Is by overwork or exceasea
he pay*. If be doe* not pay caih in
hand he pay* a fearful rate of Interest
on the principal. And pay day comee.
The greatest fallacy tver held by tbe
! human ulnd ia that you can get some
i thing for nothing.
Pound for pound, ounce for ounce, to
the la*t driblet—you pey.
Therefore it I* beat. If you can, to
! pay aa you go. If you make a failure
| be glad that you got out even and try
It over.
lloreover—
Is there not *ome compensation in
this law of price? Why should a man
ask for more than is coming to him?
Why sbould he expect to buy and not
pay? And Is It not worth while to get
by earning?
If you work for what you get and get
wbst you work for you are aa good aa
any man who works and gets.
Pay a* you go.

, LIME ON THE FARM.
[ Bsst Wsy te Test It Is to Try It en
Small Psteh.
Llmo seems to be needed on parts
of most farms. It corrects sourness,
mellows heavy soils, helps light soils
to retain moisture, favors the growth
of clover and alfalfa aud checks tbe
Increnre of some plant diseases. The
most certain way, according to Pro
-1 fessor Ilrooks of tbe Mussuchusetta
experiment station, to find out wheth
-1 er lime will help the soil Is to try it
on a small plot in a field to be tested.
Apply twenty pounds of fresh aelect
-1 cd lime to two square rods.
' i Beets are a good test crop, aa they
1 . grow better ui>on a limed plot If the
' soil needed lime. An average of about
! one ton of lime to no acre will uaually
> be enough. It can be used at any sea
 son when the Und I* not occupied by
* crops and when It can be plowed. It
' may be planted broadcast and worked
1, Into tbe soli with n harrow.
k Professor Brooks has been looking
i up various sources of lime In New
Englsnd markets, and be find* that It
varies considerably In coat and desir
ability. Quicklime la really tbe cheap-
I est form, bees use when bnylng It the
i purchaser does not have to pay for
i water that Is tnkeu up when slaking
lime. i
i One hundred pounds of quicklime
, contains as much essential lime as 132
i pounds of slaked lime, thirty-two
i pounds being moisture from the air.
! aud It coutalns as much as I7S pounds
• of raw limestone.
I.lme can be slaked In small besps
, by applying Just water enough to w«t
. , the lumps, lining about two psl'fuls of
water to 100 pounds of lime. After a
, few days It will have crumbled to a
powder. Most farmeis slake the 11m*
, before applying, as the-' unslaked lime
, ls very disagreeable to use. even with
. a munure spreader protected with bur
lap.
Finely ground limestone or marl
( works well on light soils, but ground
{ limestone costs more for the results
r obtained as compared with quicklime.
. Sometimes refuse lime from tanneric*
. is a very cheap source of lime, and It
can mually be bad for the hauling.
