JANE.
"I ain't, got iiolhin' fur yon torn!!"
A woman said il, in sin: loaned a
tiled head mi her hand, nnd looked
down at I ho rough piiiis tab'e, by
which flio e:it. She was a young
woman mi I u worn-out woman, lml
there win Mill in her face a good
deal of benn'y that yens before had
lnado her tin; belle of Sweetwater
county.
"Yer ain't out noihiii' fur me lo
cat ?" repealed the nun, in a dazed
sort of way, as ho turned aiotind from
tho piece) of broken looking-glass
hanging on the wall, before vhi:h I o
had been combing his beard, "why
what's tho matter, .lane?"
"There." bus tbo matter,'' said the
wouiaii. biting h-r lip; "but the main
tiling is, l'ete .Miller, that hereafter yer
has got to make yer ownlivin"; and
if yer wauls to live with me, yer got
to make mine, too. I'm tired I'm
tired of ever) thing. I'm tired of
work, and I'm tired of bopiu", and"
tli-.ue was a cold look in her eyes that
lie hud never keen before as she spoke
"I'm tired of you I''
She poured tho words forth as
angrily as the foaming Popo-Agio did
down below in the canon w here it was
narrowest.
"Yer promised to lake care of me
When yer married me,' she continued.
"Yer promised till suits of tilings, and
yer haven't kept a promise. Fur six
years, I'ele, I've kep' yuil. Yer
haven't worked a lifl'i of the time, an'
1'vo seen pin ions littlo of yer money
when yer did work. I've taken caie

Jif yer want 10 cat, go to work ai' j

Tli linn sat down in a rough chair,
and looke.l al her stupidly. The j

mid; "I've never heeMl ye talk lil e
Ihi- before. Tlieie's soue'thin' i 1 1
mailer witli vcr, gal. Tell me what it
is "'
"I do mean it!" she an-wered,
b 'iir-e y, and wish ell'm l : "you've
got to work, and dial's the end of il.
You don't get another meal iiulil y u
pay for it." I
"Woik!" i-aid the man; ' 'tin i e ain'i j

if thai-was any. I!:H til! lii) mines

.Thai's llnee hundred an' more i f us
hero ill the sane' fix, and ill ar used to
be morc'n a iluci-and. The young
fellers ran go away, but a married
man can't. It.m't jcr see, .fane, a mar
ried man can't. He's got a home. An'
all he can do is lo slay hero till Ihey
run the mills ag'iu. An' that's the
loa-on I can't git no worl., gal; I'm
a man ie I man, an' I got a home

She turned her head away from
l.iiil. 'J he led light of the lire, sh wu
llni.i,'h the iiuliaiiied hair thai hung
over her ears in a fuzzy eh ud, lie
could not see her face, but that did
not mailer. lie could a'ways .see il
in his imagination, and it win always
the laughing face of the young girl
be bad inairied years before. If he
had loved her less, perhaps be would
have noiieed bow time and trial and
work had changed it. Hut she was
always the same, to him, and ho bad
s.ippo-ed lliat ho was alw ays the same
to her, Siie was not a w oin ill who
talked much. He bad never heard
her complain before. l'eibaps
tint was tho ie.ion why,
when she did complain, sho ulleied
Pich bilter words. He would have
liked to go lo her and throw his strong
iinn about her and kiss her, the way
he had seen other men treat their
wive when a little temporary annoy
ance made llieui cros. Hut he had
never been able to take such liberties
with her. They seemed libeitiosto
b in. S 10 was something wonderful,
hi his eves, aid. with bis dull con-kcou-nv.
lie was perfectly satisfied
to flit and vvaleli her, day after day,
and not help her even to mue.li us to
make tho !iic for her.
Presently she spoke.
"Yer can git work if yo want to,"
she said.
lie began to notion tbo coldness in
her voice, the strangeness of her man
ner, which was unaccountable to him,
even though ho appreciated tho fact
that sho was angry.
" Whar?'' ho asked, wondering what
t-hc meant.
She hesitated n mom "lit. Then sho
said :
"1 heerd of a prospcciin' cxpedishuu
Hint was to start louiorry and ihel
wanted men."
"Yer don't mean ter say, Jane," he
said, after wailing a moment, as
though ho expected her to lake the
words back "yer don't mean ter say
thet yer want mo to go on thet tliur
prospi ctiu' e x jiedisliun ?''
"It's work," silo answered, evas
ively. "Ibit it's to be goni! for a year,
lane, an' maybe two, an' may bo for

long lime. It wih the lir.-t Mimo he
had ever attempted to adjust his own
ideas to those of his w ife. Naturally,
the only way by wlrch the adjust
meat could be iiccoinpli-hcd was the
(dial substitution of bis wife's ideas
for his own.
"I'll go! " ho said suddenly. "They
Mart toinorry, an' i f I'm to git the
job I've got ter go now."
lb' rather ex peeled her lo cry. He
hoped that at the last moment she
would protest. She did lieilher. lie
wanted to say something more. He
lid not know how to say gin ai-hye;
he had never done it hefoic.

aked.
"I've done il retty near ever kiuce

"I ain't g,,i much to leave yer," ho
continued.
"I know it," she an -wered.
"Here's (his yen pot ket book," he
went on, draw ing from a capacious
poekel ail ai liele of that deci iplion,

cNi-d the door ijilickly, so that ho could
I eiieve thai she had replied, pfier all.
I h li he began the wil.ding descent of
hill.
S io was inoiii n'ess for a minute
after he had gone. Then she rose and
looked for a mere iivnneut triumph
ant. Slio drew from the boj.jtn
of her dress il lintype and looked at
il smilingly. She kissed it, and then
she sat again al the table and looked
at it iutilitly in the light of the Wood
toe, repealing monotonously a dozen
limes ihe words: "I won't have lo
work I won't have to work I won't
h ivo to work."
Suddenly her eyes fell on tho great
pocket-hook 'ving on the table. Si e
laughed aloud. What could ha ve po--ses-ed
him lo have such a lliiug as
that? 11 ol I here ever been any money

loekod through all ihc coinparluioiils,

Ihem. until the last. There was a
piece of soiled paper in that. She
drew it forth and .-aw that it was a
letter. It took her piite a miiiiile to
realize that Ihe letter was in her own
handwriting, and that it was tho only
letter she had ever written lo him. Il
was w i itieu in reply to his proposal
of marriage. "Hear Polo," it began,
and it ended: T w ill lovo you al
ways." She felt let though some one had
struck her a tei iihio blow, as she read
the words. She could hardly breathe.
It seemed as though her heart had
stopped beating. She picked up the
tintype with her right hand and plac'd
il besido the letter. Per a moment
she looked at them with a steady
g'ar.ee. Then the tears came. Brush
ing tl em a-!do w iih her arm, she
thiew ihe tintype into tho blazing
the. Half blinded by those (hut fol
lowed, she ran to the door and rushed
out. In (he mooiiiight sho could seo

camp. Ho was out of sight and out
of hearing out of sight and out of

and beat on il wi ll her hands.
"Pelc Pete " she ciied, "como

She did not know how il happened,
but it seemed to her as though ho
iniisl have llowu back to her straight
through the air from tho prospector's
camp down in the valley, for a mo
ment hit t she felt hi rself lifted in bis
strong arms and carried into the
house. He placed her in a chair mid

apologetically :

Jimmy was tho stingiest boy yon
ever knew. He couldn't bear to givo
away a cent, nor u bite of an apple,
nor a crumb of candy, lie c nildn't
even bear to lend his sled or bis hoop
or his bkulcs. All his friends wero
very sorry he was so stingy, and
talked to him about it; but he couldn't
see any reason why he should givo
away what he wanted himself.
"If I didn't want it," he would say,
"p'r'aps I would give it away; but
why should I give it away when I
want it myself?"
"llooatM! it is nice lo be generous
said his mo:her, "and think about the
happiness of other people. It makes
you feel happier and better yourself.
I f you give your sled to little ragged
Johnnie, who never had one in his
life, you will fed a thousand times
better wa'chlng his enjoyment of it
than if you had kept it yourself."
"Well," said Jimmy, "I'll try it."
The sled was sent oil'. "How soon
shall I feel heller?" he asked, by and
by. "I don't feel as well as i did
when I hud tho sled. Aro you sure 1
shall feel better?''
Certainly,"' answered his mother,
"but if you should keep on giving
something away you would feel heller
all the sooner.''
Then he gave away a kilo, and
though! In: d: 1 not feel as well is he
fore. He gave away a silver piece
that he meant to spend for candy.
Then he said :
"I don't like this giving away
thing-; it doesn't agree with me. 1
don't feel any belter. I like being
btingy belter."
Jii-I then rugged Johnnie came up
the street dragging the siod, looking
proud its a prince, nnd asking all the
boys to lake a slide, with him. Jim
my began to smile as bo watched him
and said :
"You might give J dmnie my old

I guess I know I'm beginning to

I.ove and romance play little part in
the marriages of China, according lo

only take plan- between families of
ciilal social and financial standing,
lii-nganl of this rule would oau-e
mh-eipient lr nihil! invai ialily . The
custom of early marriages is founded,
moreover, on principles incomprehen
sible lo the Wesleili mind. The hoy
and girl joined in wedlock do not
form a new family, but rather the
youngest branch of tho family lice,
upon wh'ch they lire henceforth de
pendent. Tho duly of pan nes nvvnrds their
sons does not end with their marriage;
(hey are obliged lo earo for (hem
after that lime al-o. There is a great
di-ailvaiitagt! in Ibis system. The
son, being under ihe eyes of the
parents as long as they are alive,
really never becomes independent.
All members of the family live, when

after I lie death of the parents the sons
continue, us a rub', togilluT in Ihe

How shot is "Made
Shot is made of a m xlure of load
and seme foim of aienic. The ef
fect ef this arsenic is to render the
lead less brittle and of a better con
sistency for taking tho round form.
The lead is moiled in a large vessel
and Ihe arsenic compound n intro
duced i nto the middle of the inol on
mass and stirred in. The ves-el is
then covered and left for some hours,
during which lim- ihe ai euic becomes
thoroughly combined with the lead,
nnd the mixture Is then tested by
dropping a litlie of it through a- colan
der into water. If Ihe drops assuiii

are taken to the to) of n high tower.

I went to tile leafy forest :
Not a leaf, not a llovver vvns stirred ;
Still, in it nook, . the drcnmiiu; brook,
Still wu the nesting bird.
I looked at the shadowed mosses,

Alone iu its sandy bed.
