Tuffs Pills fhs j Hi " Cupid Across:; the Seas. By EPES W. SARGENT. I Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated utorary tress. 4, Urantley Graham leaned over the steamer's rail and regarded the city with a frown. He hated the water, no the distant pier promised relief from the disquiet he always felt when he was on a ship, yet every beat of the powerful engines, every revolution of the huge propellers that pushed the nose of the liner into the very drizzle of a summer rain, brought him nearer to the dreaded dreariness of bis own home. With an almost self commiseration be looked back upon the last few months and contrasted their brilliancy with the life that lay before him, and bis soul revolted at the thought of re turning to take up the dull monotony of the borne life he had always known. Tresently they , would dock at the pier. There would be the nsual diffi culty with the customs which seema to be reserved for the American citizen. The carriages would be waiting, and In a little while he would find blmself before the somber brownstone prison that in earlier days bad stood to him for all that was elegant and refined. Jean, his wife, would come out on the high stoop at the sound of the car riage. She would offer her cheek to be kissed. Bhe would ask If be bad had a pleasant trip. And then she would fol- Uow Iilm into the house and with the closing of the door would be shut out all the social possibilities of the past. Nothing, however, could deprive him of the thought that he had lived for once. For six weeks in London be had dwelt in a fairyland of fancy. He had mingled with men and women of the world, and almost he had learned to say "My lord" and "Your grace" with out feeling bis knees weak at the real ization that he was speaking to a mem ber of the nobility. During the year just passed he bad accomplished a triumph of engineering, and bad beaten the British masters at their own craft They bad given up the problem which to Graham had seemed simple enough, and when he bad ac complished the result he had become a national hero for a day. The Ameri can colony bad dined him, and he bad been presented to the king, and be had received many Invitations to country bouse parties, all part of tho fairy dream. Graham had married early, and as goon as be left college he bad plunged Into his work with never a thought of play. This had been his first real va cation, and be bad mingled In English society with a delight that was wholly unworthy of his country and bis gen ius. lie bad had no time for society in bis own land because the work that made him what be was bad prevented relaxation. Then, too, Mrs. Graham, Droud of his achievements, bad been content to share his Isolation and find reward for her renunciation of society I in the pleasure of removing from his path the hundred petty cares of dally life. Jean had grown somewhat stout with the passing of the years, and the complexion which had been her great est charm in her girlhood 'had faded. At first while abroad Graham had missed her for a time, but in the end he was glad she had not come. He contrasted her placid content with the feverish brilliancy of the wo men he had met, and he knew that they and she never could have mixed. For the first time he felt an actual dissatisfaction with his wife and wish ed that she might be more like those butterfly creatures. As he thought of them while the car rlnm rolled uptown be felt more and more a distaste for the wife awaiting him, and when she came to the door to greet him be contrasted the portly figure to Its sober dress with tbe slen- deraess of the smaruy gowneo. - of title who had amused themselves by turning tbe bead of tbe clever Ameri can for a few weeks. let Graham was astonished to find that he wa glad to see Jean. Her kiss of gree-lng was less perfunctory than he had anticipated. There had been one mnnent abroad that now be aronid like to forget It was at a ban. Tbe lights, tbe music and a strooser uuvu than ha VMS Uiea ID UBU f one to bis nesa. Pn ens delirious moment be bad held s slender, yielding figure to his arms. The next instant Lady Eleanor had accepted the impetuous embrace as s graceful excuse for ending a boy fcb flirtation that promised to grow embarrassingly serious Instead of merely amusing. Tbe memory of that kiss bad not been pleasant to Graham, for be was a dean minded man, and be bad shuddered st the brink upon which be bad found himself. He followed Jean up the narrow stairway, contrasting It with the great staircase, be bad seen abroad, and ren with the contrast It d notseem to be as mean as be bad Imagined. Hia room was as though be had left It tbe day before. There were inatcbea on the mantel and some of the cigars be liked best.

Mrs. Graham beamed, bee set- isfaction when he was moved to praise ino cooKing. "I was afraid that ufter the English roast beef you would not care for this," she said. "As though there was any compari son!" scoffed Graham as be realized that Jean was looking unusually well in ner an black gown. He rather regretted tbe cud of tbe meal and the custom which decreed tnat he should be left alone with his work after dinner. The library seemed rather dull, and be was still conscious of that strange sense of a want unsup- puea. For a time be worked over his pa pers, but a growing dissatisfaction caused nun to stop. Impatiently be thrust the papers aside, and, lighting a rresb cigar, be walked over to the win dow and puffed the smoke out Into tlie silver moonlight while be analyzed his reeimgs. To bis surprise, he fonnd that, af.e an, ne was glad to get back. He bad had a pleasant time, he had enjoyed, being lionized, nud yet, not one of his titled hostesses had mide the slightest effort to provide the little thing? that more than the great ones make for comfort. There bad always been a hired housekeeper to look out for bis comfort, and the fair chatelaine had been left free for her flirtations and her bridge. . It bad been comfortable to find Jean across the table from him. to reall7e that she was there to see to his com fort, to perform the thousand and one little services of love. It was Jean whom be had missed all tbe afternoon. She had effaced herself, as she always had done, and be bad missed her. The thought came upon him with the vigor of a blow. He had dreaded meeting her as tbe steamer had come up the bay, and already be was regret ting ber absence. He bad railed ngalnst bis dun colored life, and be had regretted that Jean was not like the people be had met Now be knew that this quiet life was what be liked best He would not have Jean other than what she was. Disillusionment bad come already In the reaction of tbe home atmosphere. it was nis own fault that Jean was not more to blm than she had been. Ho had blmself thrust her into that place. He was still pondering his dis covery when bis wife entered. "Is there anything you want Grant7" she asked as she paused on tho thresh old. "I am going np to my room un less there was something that you need." i need you," said Graham as he came toward ber. "I have been want ing you for a year, and I have juat fonnd it out Why, do you know, Jean, that as I came up tbe bay I was sorry that I was coming home to exchange the whirl of tbe last few weeks for the dullness of the life we lead. And now I find that life very pleas ant and I have made tho most aston ishing discovery of all that I love my wife very much indeed." She saw In bis eyes a look that sbo had not seen since his courtship years before, and she gave a happy, little laugh as she laid her bead upon his shoulder.' Tbe husband that she loved had come home to ber, and Cupid had come with him across tbe seas. Through his very discontent Graham had found contentment The 8a. The small boys who attend a night class In a poor part of Manchester. England, have been writing essays on "The Sea." To many of them tbe word conveys the vaguest of Ideas, for they have never seen tbe sea, even oo a Blackpool bank holiday. In passing through tbe boys' minds tbe. master's explanations have undergone some quaint refractions. "Tbe sea," writes one utilitarian youth, "Is very useful to tbe crew, as when a sailor dies they have a little service and drop him Into it" "The sea," explains another, "Is s large piece of land dng from tbe ground with water' In It" One boy seems to have heard of tbe carrying of trains across by boat from Denmark to Sweden and elsewhere, for be writes, "There are railway routes on tbe sea as well as on tbe land," and he adds a comprehensive account of tbe world under tbe ses, "At tbe bottom of tbe see are dead people, sponges, water weeds and many other things."

"UNCLE KEMUS" DEAD." Joel Chaadler Harris Pasac. to th Srcat Beyond. Atlanta Ga., July 5.-Joel Chand ler Harris, journalist and author of the Uncle Remus stories, died Fri day night at 8 o'clock at his home, "Snap Bean Farm," in West end. He was buried this afternoon in Westview cemetery. The noted author was surrounded by all the members of his family, who had realized for several days that death was inevitable. He was totally unconscious for twelve hours preceding his death. Cirrhosis of the liver finally developed uremic poisoning and the case became hope. lees. Realizing that the end was near. Uncle Remus waa genial and reso lute he made no attempt to conceal his belief concerning himself from the members of bis family. His irresistible humor, his indomitable I good spirit never deserted him. The old playful, whimsical manner in his intercourse with the family was preserved until he sank into final unconsciousness. For a month Uncle Remus had been feeling poorly. Before that, for a long time, he was jea' toller- able. For the past week he has been gradually sinking. Bre'r Rabbit hiding in the hedge of rose bushes on "Snap Bean Farm" knew that something was wrong. With an intuition born of intelligence above that of the other animals he .knew that his friend was miguty sick. Bre'r Fox in the thicket, heard that tbe old man would come out and talk to them no more. They quieted the children at their play, as tbey awaited news from the darkened bed chamber. Madams Wrenn, who had builded her nest in the msil box, defying the laws of Uncle Sam and the convenience of the family stopped in ber busy hunt for her young ones next meal. The mocking bird stilled her thrilling notes and listened for the final summons. She had known Uncle Remus for a friend, and for him she had interpreted the vast silence of the night. Of her song he had written, "Tbe music fills one with the delicious teeling of restfulness which causes a child in the middle of the night watches to awake and kiss its mother and sink back to slumber." Even the noisy, contentious En g- lish sparrows, for whom the owner of "Snap Bean Farm" bad leas sympathy than for any of the crit ters were quietly sympathetic in tbe solemn hour that marked his passing.

For the first time bince the begin ning of Jefferson's admistrstions this country hu no living ex-President. Washington died in the third year of Adams' administration, but Adams lived through the ad ministration of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and died on the same day as Thomas Jefferson, July 4, 1826, in the administration of John Quincy Adams. Tbe Presidents who succeeded Washington were, as a rule, long-lived, and the Presidents between Jackson and Lincoln did not serve more than a single term, so that for a considerable period there were three or four ex-Presi dents living in eaeh presidency. Lincoln began bis administration with five ex-Presidents living, vis.: Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore, Tyler and Van Baren. Grant began with lour ex-Presidents, but in the last year of Hayes' administration there was but one living ex-President and that was General Grant. In Cleve land's first year, Grant, Hayes, and Arthur were the living ex-Presidents. During his seoond term Benjsmin Harrison wss the only ex-President, and since 190? Cleveland bos held alone the honorary and honorable position ot ex-President of th Unit ed States. With the presidency going into younger and more vigorous hands, as is the present drift, ex-Presidents arc likely again to increase in num ber, bat the relative rapidity of their death ia recent years suggest that the strain and stress of tbe presiden tial office has become a severe tax on the vitality of tbe incumbent than it was in tbe earlier years of tbe republic.

The good roads advocate ofGuil ford county are glad to know that Alamance county is soon to vote (sgain) on tbe question of a f 200, 000 bond isue for macadamized roads. If the voters of Alamance would enquire ot the farmers of Guilford who live on the roads ma cadamized within the last three years by means of a bond issue they would find that aside from the nearly one third increase in the selling prices of lands, tbe improved roads have made farm life more pleasant and profitable in many ways. While Guilford county is already realizing benefit from its monopoly of excellent rosds by attracting good farmers from other bill counties like Stoker, Surry snd Rockingham who are paying good prices for Guilford farms and moving over to better roads, tbe citizenry of the county is not selfish enough to wish that Ala mance snd adjacent counties should continue to be beck ward on' this most important question of good roads. But it is an undoubted fact that the longer Rockingham, Surry, Stokes, Fnrcylh, Randolph and Ala mance counties defer tbe beginning of extensive grading and rocking their roidi", the better it will be for Guilford land prices and improved immigration. So fine has been the object lesson here of the value of Rood roads, a gentleman who is well informed as to the people all over the county re marked today that when tbe 1300, 000 bond issue for roads is exhaus' ed he has no doubt bat that another bond issue for the same amount woald be voted, so that graded stone rosds could be bailt in every section of tbe county, branching out from tbe present msin highways.

Those who were busy lost year in keeping the wolf from the door will be interested to know that figures on wholesale prices o(258 represent ative staple articles reached the highest mark last October. These statistics are for the 18 years be tween 1890 and 1907. The annual report on this subject of tbe Department of Commerce and Labor, jost Issued, shows that tbe average for the year 1907, was 5 8 par cent higher than for J 900; 44.4 per cent, higher than for 1897, tbe year of lowest prices during the 18 year period, and 29.6 per cent, higher than the average for 10 years from 1890 to 1899. Prices reached their highest point during the 18 year period in October, 1907, the average for that month being 1.2 per cent higher than for tbe year 1907. and 2.8 per cent higher than the average for December, 1906 the month of highest prices in 1906. When tbe commodities are con sidered by groups, all of the 9 groups show an increase in price in 1907, as compared with 1900. For farm product, taken as a whole, this in crease was greatest, namely, 10.9 per cent; for food, 4.6 per cent.; for cloths and clothing, 5 A per cent; tor fael sad lighting. 2.4 per een. ; for metels and implements, 6. 1 per cent; for lumber and building ma terials, 4.9 per cent; for drags and chemicals; 8.3 per cent; for boose furnishing goods, 6.8 per cent; for tbe miscellaneous group, 5 per cent.
