DOVE-PIE_ANp HONEY
By ROB M*CHKYNK.
I
"Bat I'll tell you one thine, young
man; you'll find dove-pie and meaqulte
honey a mighty monotonous diet after
the honeymoon."
They were the words with which
old Henry P. had cloaod the Interview
that had resulted in hla giving his
daughter to the handsome young
westerner who had won her love.
That was more than a year ago; now
the Mg, brown-faced ranehtnan aat In
the door of hla little shaok, watching
a dustatorm drift over the face of the
setting sun, and thinking of what the
hard-headed old financier had said
back there In hla luxurious home in
various New York
A slim figure In a blue dress came
slowly up the lane of umbrella trees.
It was Jim's wife. There waa a tired
stoop to her shoulders that waa all
too plain In aplte of the poise of her
chin. She had old Henry P.'a chin.
"Supper*!! be ready In a minute,
Jim," she aald.
"What yon goln' to havef
"I found soma partridge eggs," sh«
aald, holding oat the blue sun-bonnet;
"I'm going to make an omelet. Then,
there's dove-pte and meaqulte honey." ,
Jim buret out laughing.
"Why, Jim," cried the little woman,
terribly hart, "I thought you liked
partridge tegs."
"Come here, little girl;'' He held
out two great brown arms and aha
plumped Into them regardless of eggs
and independence alike.
"What was it, Jim?" she asked,
when he had kiased away tbe tear.
"Oh, nothing, little linnet; it waa
the—the dove-pie and the mesquite
honey."
"But we haven't had them for ever
so long. I thought you'd—" She had
to bite hard on her lower Up to keep
her chin ateady.
"How would my Bailie O like to sso
little old New Yorkr
"O, Jim, Jim, you dear old thing!"
Her arms were about his neck.
"Really T Doot taU me It isn't so.
"Whent"
"Tomorrow."
"How perfectly da— Not tomorrow T
WhatH I—r
"Wear what you've got till you get
to Chicago, and then get something
fit to steal into Broadway In, after
dark. Yon couldn't get anything here
but a string of beads and a Navajo
ring, if you'a to wait a year. Tomor
row you're off at daybreak."
"But you're coming, toot"
"Why, little gray goose, I couldn't
get away on a bet"
They were rather silent as they
drove Into the little railroad town the
nest evening. There were planty of«
things to be thought of.
The big fallow stood en the platform
and watched the train pull out, and
the little figure in the gray gown and
turban left Its lmpreaa on hla heart
rather than his mind.
After all, there's a feeling of free
dom comes with this sort of thing.
Jim walked up the street with a light
step. There waa a hum of congenial
ity about the open doors of the sa
loons, billiard balls clicked in secret
merriment behind curtained windows,
while from the subterranean deptha of
some basement near fay came the long
roll and cataclasmlo clash of the
bowling alley.
"Hul-10, Jim!" He was greeted on
all sides. No one dared ask him to
have a drink, and he stood talking
with the proprietor. A game of faro
waa on at one side of the room; the j
roulette wheel was thronged with
players; Mexicans, Indians and white
man mingled amid a perfect babel,
above which rose the song of a rather
corpulent half-breed girl and the
stringy tones of an outworn piano.
"Hullo, Jeeml" aald the singer,
making her way toward him. "Yon
no spin em any more, no? Yon use
play—you us* span' lot & da monel
Helnl Yon 'mernbah dsssT" She held
«p a finger, displaying a flashy ring.
"Nit*," said Jim, slowly, "111 buy
that ring."
"You geev set to me; I no sell."
Appealing to an instinct that tas
knew to be strong in her, he stepped
to the roulette table, where he placed
a coin on on* of the large numbers,
and continued to play until he had
won. Then he turned to Nlta:
Take it; give me the ring." She
slowly drew it off and laid it In hla
hand. As ha rod* home under tha
stara, Jim took tha bit of Jewelry
from his pocket and throw It off into
the saga brush.
The next morning things at La
Ranch Bonita had a deeolata air.
"She'a about to Albuquerque now,"
said Jim, and ha drew a solitary
chair to tha table. A step sounded
on the threshold.

EVIDENTLY JOHNNY WAS NOT
Barber's Customer Took Somewhat
Astonishing Question Literally,
and Thar* Waa Trouble.
I Port Jervls bad a big revival meet
ing, and among tbe converted was a
barber, who had been a bad actor. In
his day. Once he put some home-made
sea foam on a young man's hair which
turned the hair red, and the color
didnt come out for a year.
The barber confessed to this and
other crimes. It was a hard-won con
version, and the evangelist .was elat
ed. He saw a chance for passing re
ligion on to a host of Port Jervls citi
zens, utilising the barber shop as a
gateway.
Over In a corner of the revival hall
he talked to the knight of the striped
pole.
"Now, Mr. Scissors," said the evan
gelist, "you have It in your power to
do great good In the world. You're a
man of Impressive personality, and by
reason of your position you meet men
In all walks of life.
"Instead of discussing baseball or
fifthlng with a patron, why not say a
few words calculated to turn him into
cleaner paths? Remind each, as you
hftve been reminded, that while he Is
large in life he must get ready for
the end, which comes to all men."
The barber thought that was a lino
Idea, and pledged himself. Then be
went back to his shop.
Little old Johnny Looseleaf came in
from hla day's work at the perfume
factory. Johnny was afraid of ghosts
and green horses and his wife. Be
wanted hla whiskers taken off.
The barber got through with th«j
lathering and half of the shave with
brief remarks about the fog and the
movement to 1111 up the abandoned
canal. He was Just poising the razor
over the patron's throat when it oc
curred to him to address a few words
of Inquiry to Looseleaf concerning the
state of hla soul.
"Johnny," said the barber slowly,
"are you prepared to die?"
The man In the chair opened his
eyes and saw the razor, then the high
light In the eye of the other.
"What's thatT" he shouted.
With which he did a lightning leap
from the chair, wrested the razor
from the )>arber and threw that gen
tleman through his own plate-glass
window.
Japanese of Mixed Blood.
Whatever the ignorant, indifferent,
or selfish may say or suggest, he who
has read carefully Japan's ancient rec
ords, studied the language, art, and
antiquitlea, not only thinks, but knows
—for the evidence Is overwhelming—
that the Japanese are a mixed race.
That they have In them Tartar and
Malay blood no one doubta. It Is cer
tain, also, that the blood of another
of the most gifted of races, the Semit
ic, flows In their veins. Apart from
the testimony of language, history re
cords that colonies of Semitic stock
settled in the islands. As for the
Aryan strain In the Japanese, it is
very rich, and possibly even the great
est. Language, mythology, tradition;
all show the Aryan Infusion of words,
ideas, and blood. The names of the
mountain! and rivers tell of the first
Inhabitants, who were the Ainu, and
who are of Aryan blood. A remnant
of these white savages, numbering
over 16,000 souls, yet remains. They
speak a language allied with those of
Europe. Their faces, features, eyes,
beards, and mental processes are ex
actly like our own. No one versed
In even the rudiments of ethnology
but realizes there Is no such thing as
a perfectly pure unmixed race on the
face of the eaith.—Christian Herald.
Penitentiary Was "For Rent."
Early risers who passed the front
entrance of the penitentiary the other
morning were surprised to see banging
on the front door of the prison a large
tin sign which bore the following in
scription:
'Tor rent Apply within."
It was difficult to believe that Mary
land had become so good within the
last few days that tbe state's main
bouse of reformation had become sud
denly preempted. It was difficult also
to understand tbe meaning of tbe
sign. The "pen" la a place of great
dimensions, and It would take a for
tune of equal size to buy it.
It was a puzzle, until one of tbe
deputy wardens came out and took
that sign away. Then the people un
derstood. Some of tbe young men In
Old Town had been to restaurants in
the early morn to Celebrate. They
had become just a little gay, and ap
propriated a sign that hung on a va
cant bouse and transferred it —Balti-

HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Remarkable Case of Devotion to Home
Bhown by Neatlng Meadow Lark
In Maaaachuaetta.
An endearing trait In birds Is their
love of home, and the bravery with
which they face danger In protecting
their eggs of baby birds. They seem
to become very tame at such times;
not seldom a person who approaches
them quietly may, after a few gentle
attempts, stroke a mother bird aa she
broods. But it Is really courage, and
not enjoyment of (he attention, that
she displays. *
An Interesting example of the strong
attachment of a bird to Its home, as
well as Its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by a meadow
lark that found Itself day after day
under gun-fire, and learned not to
fear It.
At the practice grounds of the
United States marine corps at Wako
fleld, Mass., some low mounds were
raised on. the firing line. On .the'
front side of one of these mounds a
meadow lark built Its nest, and had
laid Its eggs when the season's prac
tice In target shooting and skirmish
drill began. The rifle of the man ly
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest, and not more than two feet'
above It.
At llrst the birds would fly away,
when the firing skirmish line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued, they became accustomed to
the noise. They would wait until the
men came very near before flying, and
would return Immediately after. As
the time came for the eggs to batch,
one of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing, even If a rifle
were held just above her head. The
marines were very careful not to dis
turb the little family. When the young
came, they were nourished amid the
smoke of battle, as It were, and finally
left the nest unharmed. —Youth's Com
panion.
AS THE GROUCH SEES GROCER
Most Useful Member of Community
Unkindly Dealt With by Ex
pert Fault Finder.
A grocer Is a man who spends his
time In exchanging adulterated foods
for unadulterated money.
The best time to visit any grocer Is
after you hare had a large, square
meal; the worst time to visit blm Is in
the afternoon about 5 o'clock, when
you are half starved and everything
In his place looks more or less real.
But after you have given him an or
der under these famished conditions,
do not go home to your wife. It Is
better to give her a few days in which
to recover, and Incidentally get even
with you by ordering two new I'arls
hats and rhododendron klmonas.
To be a successful grocer one must
have sand, a rich Oriental vocabulary
that can describe the same tea as it
it were in each case really different
and a complete knowledge of aniline
dyes.
Also, every grocer should bo mar
ried. He can then explain to his cus
tomer when he 1b trying to sell her
some combination of wood pulp and
asbestos for nourishment: "My wife
has tried this for three weeks and
still lives."—Life.
Estimating Your Supplies
In large Institutions tbe time that
certain supplies last has been tested
down to a fine point. Only by know
ing very carefully how long certain
supplies will last can tbe army and
other large Institutions buy Intelli
gently and thus take advantage of the
reduced price given on large orders.
While many women are "good mana
gers," many more should more defi
nitely test how long certain supplies
last tbe family under average condi
tions. It Is possible to estimate bow
long coffee, tea, staples, cereals, etc.,
will last, and make large quantity
orders on wblch the housewife can ob
tain a generous discount. But unless
this quantity buying Is bused on care

INDUCES PEOPLE TO BUY
What Barnum Maant, According to
Merchant, Whan Hs Said Peopls
Liked to Be Swindled.
" 'The American people like to be
swindled,'" quoted a well known mer
chant the other day. "I believe It was
old P. T. llarnum who said aomethlng
like that, although 1 gueaa those are
not the exact words of the noted
showman.
"The Idea Is exemplified, however.
In our everyday life aa la evidenced
by the modern world of advertlalng.
I want to draw a fine line distinc
tion, however, and 1 believe that Mr.
llarnum really meant the aatne thing.
I don't mean that the people are
swindled through advertising, but that
they are Induced by meana of adver
tising to buy many things which
otherwise they never would have
thought of.
"In the same way I believe tbat
Mr. llarnum did not mean tbat he
swindled people In his show business;
ho thought he gavo them value re
ceived, and I think Jie did, but when
bo said that he meant that If It waan't
for the way he advertised not half
the people would come to see bis
show tbat did. And It Is almost tbe
same way wltb modern business
houses. Did you ever stop to consider
tbat a really successful house has
something going on all the time?
They have a Juno aalo and a July
sale and a white sale and a black sale
and a summer sale and a winter aalo
and every other kind of sale for every
day of every week of the entire
year.
"And then through the newspaper*
they toll the public of these nates and
the public read* and come* and buys.
And by that means the stores grow
and prosper, the newspapers grow and
prosper, the public lives better and a
higher plane, for after all this adver

they would otherwise, but they reap
ample benefits "

ly. It must be built up. It requires
patience, but when success does come
everything after that Is easy and the
profits are good.
To the man who wishes to enter the
poultry business at a small expense,
I would advise stocking wltb a dozen
hens of some good breed. It Is not
well to try to do too much until the
beginner has learned how to make a
small flock pay. I have had very
good success in getting eggs from my
hens all the year round. I hatch the
chicks as early as possible In the
spring. The best time to market
chicks ID when they weigh about two
pounda and fowla Just before molting.
I find It profitable to market eggs
where they must be guaranteed fresh,
working up a good trade for the pro
duce at a fair price.
