What
motherhood
Means
Motherhood means either happiness
or misery. There is scant happiness for
( the mother, who in pain and weakness
f brings into the world a weakling babe
which she can neither nurse nor nourish.

By Cable to the Mornlnu Star. '
London, Juno 22. In a tentative,
easy-going sort of way the cabinet has
begun to consider the Nicaragua
treaty Matter. Lord Pauncefote has
explained many things to Lord Lans
downe, the foreign secretary, and the
latter is once more grappling the
problem. It is needless to say that
the Foreign Office has no intention of
hurrying, and in the course of a
month or so it may come to a decision.
This will take the form of instructions
to Lord Pauncefote, who will" return
to the United States. These instruct
tions will probably not be officially
communicated to the State Depart
ment until Congress shall convene

matter shall be dehnitely known.

Texas, by special train, raised the

! AN INCIDENT OF I
t PRAIRIE LIFE.
Sarah Preston's lips were tightly com
pressed, and there was a sad look in her
eyes. The dust was blotting out from
her view more than the flower- dotted
landscape. It seemed to dim all remem
brance of the long days of perfect weath
er whe the prairie seemed an Eden
and strength and hope grew large with
the fresh, bracing air.
Some one came in with a heavy,
weary step and stopped a moment on the
threshold to look at the drooping figure.
Then he approached her with awkward
tenderness, laying his toil roughened
hand on her shoulder. i
"What's -the matter, Sarah?" he said
softly.
There was a smothered weariness in
the tones, but her ears seemed deaf that
morning to , anything but the wind's
piercing voice. Half unconsciously she
drew a little "away from his hand.
"It's everything," she said, "every
thing! Why did we ever come here, to
such wretchedness as this?" '
He did not attempt another caress,
except with his anxious eyes, and her
face was turned away from them, hid
den in her hands.
She would have called after him and
clung to him if she could have-seen the
look on his face as he went out all the
patience and weariness of it.
In just a few minutes he was back at
her side.
"Sarah," he said rather anxiously,
"what would yon say to letting two peo
ple come in for a little rest? They've
stopped the wagon just a little way from
here. She seems n childish young thing,
and he looks as if the world had been
too much for him, he's so thin and sick
ly looking. What do you say to bring
ing them in?"
"Oh, John, how can we, when it s so
hard to keep up as it is? But go ask
them in. If we can make it a little
easier for them, we ought to, I suppose."
lou come with me, coaxed John.
"Go get your hat, and we'll ask them
together."
She gave a slight protesting laugh,
but -went nevertheless, clinging to his
arm and almost resting her face some
times on his shoulder.
They were very near the travelers now.
The tired horses, with .dejected down
bent heads, were snatching what little
rest, they, could. In the covered wagon
sat the man and woman such a hollow
cheeked, large eyed man and such a lit
tle islip of a wife! The hot wind .flapped
the canvas cover and sent swirls of dust
over the two occupants and their scanty
possessions.
Some of the self pity that had dark
ened Sarah's face all the morning faded
out of it and was replaced by a purer.
-nobler look.
"You must be tired out," Sarah be
gan without preamble. "We want you
to come up to the house for a little rest
and to have dinner with us. Won't
u?"
A pleased smile breaking over the
young wife's face seemed almost to fade
out the little worried line between the
dark eyes. An answering gleam stole
over the worn face at her side, but they
both protested faintly. They couldn't
give so much trouble. It would not tie
right.
"lou come right along!" said John,
with kindly authority. "We want you.
so don't make any fuss about it. We'll
take the horses into my burn. Let 'em
try my feed and a good bucket of my
well water. '
The two men went off together, Sarah
and the little wife beating their way
back to the sod house. A look of cheer
and comfort seemed to he in its brown
walls now. "How good it will seem
to rest in a house!" said the little wife,
with a happy sigh.
"Wouldn t you like to lie down a lit
tle while till dinner is ready?" said
Sarah. "Come right Into my room, and
just feel that you are at home." A pro
tecting kindliness had sprung up in her
heart for this little creature with the
appealing eyes. "You must be so hot
and uncomfortable! There's cold water
in that pitcher, and I'll bring you some
warm. No, it isn't a bit of trouble.
Then you must rest until dinner."
Ln pleasant thoughts were far away as
Sarah prepared the simple dinner, trying
to make it as attractive as possible. She
would get out some of her wedding china.
Vhy not? John would enjoy a bright
spot in the day for the strangers. She
even picked a bunch of astralagus,' mak
ing a centerpiece of the white, furry
leaves. A sprig of wild geranium was
laid at each plate.
There were cheery faces around the
table, and Sarah's was not less bright
than the faces of the others.
The gaunt stranger sat a little more
erect now, and his face after even this
brief rest seemed less sharply outlined.
The warm, human kindness as well as the
outward comfort had wrought the change
and in some way made it easier to re
member in whose larger protecting care
they were and would still be when rolling
over the brown prairie. Bit by bit their
story came out. The man told how he
had been a carpenter and builder in Iowa,
what a happy little home it had been, and
why they were flying now to the untried
world of Colorado, that Mecca for con
sumptives. The gaunt man and the
young wife avoided the dread word.
They said instead, "People with any sort
of lung trouble."
As they went back to the sitting room
John and Sarah talked cheerily of the
prospective home in Colorado aud brought
out a book of views of tbo wonderful scen
ery. The gaunt man and his little wife
bent over them with keen interest." "It
.will be a great move for us," he said. "It
seemed to bo the only thing for us to do,
aud I'm glad we're no near there. I feel
more heartened up today than any time
since we started. We won't forget your
kindness, I can tell you."
"Oh. pshaw!" said John, and "Don't
speak of it," said Snrab in a breath, "It's
been so pleasant for us to have you!"
It was necessary to take up the journey
ngafn. The two men went out to the bar
together.
The eyes of the little wife sony
Sarah's. "You have been so good,"
said, almost in a whisper, "so good to
take us in. This awful dust and the
heat I wouldn't have minded them so
much for myself, but it has been so bad
for him. It makes the cough worse, and
that "always frightens me. All these
days that we have been on the way I
have been longing so to reach Colorado.
I have felt as if I couldn't wait, when
the waiting must nioaji everything to
him, and it has been so hard, so almost
impossible, to keep cheerful before him!
That is always very hard don't you
think so when your life is all wrapped
up in somebody else's, to keep that one
from feeling how you suffer? And of
course, it they knew, that would make It
all so much worse."
How the poor young thing was empty
ing her heart out! It was as if all the
grief and anxiety of the days in the cov
ered wagon, rolling over the brown plains.
had burst their bounds and mast pour
themselves out to this listener.
"I wanted you to know." the excited
little voice ran on, "how kind yon have
been what a comfort it has bePh to me!
Don't you see how much less tired he
looks? And he hasn't coughed near so
much; not near! You have cheered us
up too. It has been so stiange all this
journey every day taking 11s farther
away from home, and the trying to choke
down the koniesickno.ss and" She
broke off short, with gratitude and tears
shining in her eve.
There was just time for S;irah to tuke
the little brown hand in hers and press
w close when the two men came back.
The man with stooping shoulders and
the Hush on either cheek went ud clnso t
the little woman with bright, eager eves
.- it eii, mue woman, are yon most
ready?" he said, patting her shoulder;
"You've hnrl a lio rest, haven't you?"
He coughed sharply as he spoke, but
she smiled up at him brightly that ho
might not know how much more it racked
her chest than his.
"You'd better get on your bonnet, little
woman," he said; "it's time we were gor
ing. I don't know how we're to thank
you and your wife, lr. Gilbert, for all
you've done for us, but we feel it, sir; we
reel it."
- "It wasn't anything at nil," John pro
tested. "It has done us good to have you
nere.
Sarah and the little young wife went
into the tiny bedroom together. The wind
had stopped its maddening song outside,
and the air was clear again from its bur
den of dust. The furniture would have
to be dusted for the third time that day,
but the thought brought no scowl to her
forehead now.- The little traveler pinned
on the rusty black hat and turned to hold
out both hands - impulsively to Sarah.
"Thank you again," she said, and then,
in a whisper: "Colorado is a wonderful
place, isn't it? Haven't you heard about
the way ' people get cured there people
just as bad off as George or worse?
You feel sure it'll do him good, don't
yon?" .
She searched Sarah's face as if 'to
read her fate there. ' It was hard to
meet the girlish eyes.
"I've never been farther west than this
myself," she said, "but- every one says
it's a wonderful climate in Colorado for
people with trouble with their lungs. I'm
so glad you re going there, and when he's
grown well and strong you'll be coming
back this way to see us?"
The delight "of that possible future was
in the young wife's eyes. "If he only
does!" she said. "If he obly does!"
There were hearty hand clasps ex
changed a few minutes later. TJien the
prairie schooner, with its freight of hu
man love and anxieties, rolled slowly
away. The two left behind in the little
sod house stood at the window till the
wagon was seen, a dark blot, above the
sharp horizon. With a quick, impulsive
movement, Sarah's hand stole into her
husband's.
"How good you are!" she said, almost
solemnly. "And while I have you what
do I care about other things?"
Far off in the big wagon a little woman.

Literary America.
Statistics of the relative populations of
the British isles and the United States
give color to the prophecy of Brander
Matthews that soorrcr or later the litera
ry center of the English language is to
be transferred from England to this
country. If such a transfer is almost
unprecedented in literary history, the
scholar can lind a close parallel in the
case of Alexandria, which became the
capital of Greek culture. In an article
in The Bookman Professor -Matthews
says: "When the bulk of contemporary
English literature is produced by Amer
ican authors and when the British them
selves have accepted the situation and re
signed themselves at last to the depar
ture of the literary supremacy of Lon
don, then the weight of American prece
dent will be overwhelming. Without
knowing it, British readers of American
books will be led to conform to American
usage, and American terms will not seem
outlandish to them, as these words and
phrases do even now, when comparative
ly few American authors are read in
Great Britain. And these American in
novations will be very few, for the con
servative instinct is in some ways stron
ger in the United States than it is in,
Great Britain; due perhaps partly to the
more widespread popular education be:e,
which gives to every child a certain sol
idarity with t h oast."

the support of his family. He got off
free." ?.
