THEIR PICNIC BY Una. M. I BAI5I. I People who knew anything said when Harlow Graham married that 'madcap little piece," Laura Cates ford, that their friends would have to take care of them for the rest of their lives. According to public opinion. Laura was a jjiddjr, Idle, fun-loving rl, who knew nothing of taking care of a house, or a hus band either; and Harlow well, he hadn't wit enough to earn his salt, much less porridge for two. Pretty housekeeping there would be with such a pair at the headl Besides, Laura was a spendthrift, just as her father had been before her. Look how she had squandered the little he had left, In fine gowns to get mar ried in, instead of investing It in something useful, or putting It out at interest! And then the dear public washed its bands of the youngcouple altogether, and took up something else for charitable com ment. Laura and Harlow Graham fur nished up a little cottage and went to housekeeping. Their wedding presents made a very pretty show in the little parlor, and the bric-a-brao filled the bay window. It wasn't style, of course, but these were just a pair of real human people who had started out to picnic through life and were not bothered about style and conventionalities. If Mrs. Grundy had brought a campstool and sat down in front of their house, they would have asked the grim old dame in, and had a picnic with her. They were bound to have a good time in this world, and all the better be cause of their journey through it to gether. Laura's dear friends were right. She was no housekeeper, and poor Harlow sat down to many an Ill cooked meal, while she was learning the chemical process by which the raw material was to be converted Into delicious .and nourishing food. He could not blame her mother, for she had died when Laura was a baby, but he had no inclination to blame anyone. They bad agreed to picnic through life, and a picnic it was. Besides, he made errors in the counting-room where he was em ployed that nearly cost him his sit uation, and they were both learning. Laura set before him one day a plate of biscuits. "Made them all out of my own head, and had .enough wood left to make another batch," she said, mer rily. "Stone, you mean, sweetheart. They are just like the biscuits moth er used to make," answered Harlow. Laura threw one at him, and he remarked, facetiously, that it was the same one that Mrs. Noah saved from the ark. There were more failures, and Laura sometimes shed a few tears of vexation in secret, and then there were more attempts, and at last success came to stay. The cooking was conquered, and Laura had won a graduate's laurels. She Invited her friends to dinners and teas, which were highly praised, and old housekeepers asked for her recipes. It was a triumph of art, and Laura was proud of her success, as she had a right to be. Now, strange as it may seem, there is nothing so insipid as the dead level calm of happiness. Pain Is healthful compared to the monot ony of constant calm and sunshine, and Laura was beginning to yawn a little and feel bored now that every thing was adjusted, and she was mistress of the situation. It seemed as if her life lacked the friction nec essary to&eep it from rusting. But nothing disturbed the two married lovers, until one day Har low went home and toll Laura he felt queer. "Not going to be 111, I hope," she asked, anxiously. "No. but my head is dizzy." "Been riding too much in the ele vator?" "Not more than usual. But I no tice that when I am at the books the figures swim before my eyes." "A determination of arithmetic to the brain." "Perhaps. It's queer and disa greeable, though." That was all the preparation she had when a week later Harlow came In, groping his way. "Laura! My God, I'm blind!" He nearly fell into her extended arms. She led him to a chair, and, taking another, sat down before him. Her face was white, and her lips quivered. "What Is it, dear? Have you seen the doctor?" "Yes, and he says my girl, have you courage to bear It?" Yes, yes. Go on." "That I will never see again. It Is a clot he called it some long Latin name but oh, Laura, what is to become of us? We have nothing laid up yet, and I have done the last I ever can do, and what will you do with a blind man on your hands?" "We'll play blind man's buff, as we used to do when we were chil dren, " she said, smothering a sob. "Don't be frivolous, Laura." "Harlow, you are In my hands cow, and I think I can manage, if you will let me do It In my own way. ITirst, I shall take your place In the tore." "You cannot do the work." "I can. And you can keep house. X shall expect warm meals at regular hours." "A blind mau's housekeeping?" "Oh, you shall have an assistant." "A servant? We cannot afford oho." "No, a dog." "Laural" "Yes, dear It will be ever so larky. Haven't we always envied the blind men who stood on corners with a dog to guide them?" "And hand organs to grind, and a tin cup to carry." Harlow was posi tively laughing. "I will carry the tin cup, dear, and fill it, too." "Brave little girL I thought my Life was ended. Laura, can you bear It?" "It will be a perfect picnic, she ! said, with tears running down her cheeks but she managed to keep them out of her voice. It was a perfect picnic in more ways than one. Ita'ways rains at picnics, and there was a rain of tears for this, but also an intermittent sunshine that soon dried them. It was decided at the store, when Harlow's blindness was announced, that he was to have a vacation until such time as the firm saw fit to sup ply his place, and for the present his salary was to be continued. That is what his misfortune did for a soulless corporation drew them out to a deed of beautiful chari ty. Then friends came In to offer assistance, which so far was not needed. They came tearful and full of conventional sympathy, and went away wondering and rather piqued. "Two children who do not appre- elate the gravity of the situation," said one sympathizer with a sniff. "Why, she talked about it as. if sudden blindness was a real bless ing," said another. But no one saw how exquisitely pathetlo the situation really wast The two "children," as they called them, clinging together to the wreck of their happiness, both willfully blind together to the awful realities of the situation, but keeping up their courage by a fiction in which they were the principal characters. "What kind of a dog will you get?" narlow asked suddenly on the second day of his affliction. r,lt shall match the furniture,", said Laura, brightly. "It must be small." "Yes, and Intelligent. You will enjoy training It, dearest." ; "I shall tumble over it at first, and It will bite me." "That will be part of the picnic" They were getting used to the sit uation in this romantic way, and Laura had their lives planned out.' She was to be the working member of the firm, and come home at night, full of news for him, and they could still take long walks together on Sundays after church, and he was to have a guitar and learn to play; she had always laughed him out of It, but now it would be his one re source. I "But what Is there for me to do while you work, Laura?" T .fi.n volt a i- 1t!ra Tftltnn In his blindness. 'They also serve who only stand and wait.'" J "Brave little woman," he said, "when will it end?" I "Oh, soon enough, dear, picnics never last long. We'll get so used to It we wouldn't have it different if we could." Then she went upstairs and cried herself to sleep. The next morning she was awak ened by a joyous shout. "Laura! The sun. is shining! I can see. ! Thank God. I can see." "It was true. The clot bad gone," the painless pain was ended. Like a man who - has been once tried for his life and acquitted, it could never be done over again. The- doctor said such occasions were rare, but not unknown to med ical science. Harlow Graham was as well as he ever was in his life. "There won't be any more of that picnic," said Laura, almost regret fully, although It had been such an awful strain to live up to for twenty four hours. "No, thank heaven," said Harlow, "I won't have to keep house." "And we won't need the dog.". "Well, we haven't got him yet, so he's no great loss." "Nor the tin cup." "Yes, you can carry that, and we'll see how soon It will be f ulL" "That's a picnic," answered Laura, "it shall be our bank." Detroit Free Press. . j Causa for Suspicion.

During a political campaign, a well-known lawyer in a western state was addressing aq audience composed principally of farmers. Like a wise speaker and a shrewd candidate he tried to suit his speech to the occasion. In a tone 'which he evidently con sidered both cordial and honest, and with a winning smile, he began: "My friends, my sympathies have always been with the tillers of the soli. My father was a practical farmer, and so was my grandfather before him. I myself was born on a farm, and was, so to speak, reared between two stalks of corn." Here his eloquence was rudely in terrupted by the trumpet tones of a farmer In the rear of the halL "Jimminy crickets!" he shouted, "if you ain't a pumpkin!" The houso "came down," and the candidate, for the moment, at least, was sadly embarrassed. Youth's Companion. The Age of Boaka. i Verily, this Is the age of books. The number of them plied la the cellars of the bookdealers is prodig ious there Is no other word for it when one considers what the plies of recorded thought signify. The dis plays la the ware rooms of these house i are but the flotsam of the great sea of literature whose cur rents swell In subterranean caverns, ever spouting to the surface new copies, and dragging to their depths from some mysterious source to fill their places still fresher volumes. With what amazement would any of the old fathers of literature look upon these outpourings of human thought. Even so recently as Mac caulay's day there was nothing like the book printing that there is la our time. And we can almost Im agine how Dr. Johnson would stare as he turned over the pages.

XjouIm Ilrtor Tky lUfnMtl MUUm of Dol lar te Msrekaata, "The recent discovery of a sunken raft by Mayor Walbridge in the channel of the river above the Chain of Rocks," said Street Commissioner Murphy to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, "will bring to the mind of many of our old steamboat men the disasters that befell the marine craft of this city in that por tion of the river now included in the harbor of St. Louis. The charter harbor of the city includes that stretch of the Mississippi river be tween the mouth of the Missouri and the mouth of the Meramec. That portion of the harbor under the care and control of the harbor and wharf commissioner lies between the Chain of Rocks and the Rives des Peres. From the upper mouth of the Missouri to the foot of North Market street there are now lying under the slit and sands the wrecks of over sixty boats and barges. "Many of these steamboats wero the largest, best-equipped and speediest that ever walked the nav igable waters of the country. They were In reality marine palaces, such as this generation has not seen. Saw yer's bend was the fatal locality where nearly all these splendid craft foundered and settled under the shifting sands of the treacherous channel. Among the boats that were lost many now living will re member the following: York State, Southerner, Mary Blaln, Highland Mary, Grace Darling, Allegheny, Federal Arch, C. Buln, Yuba, Balti more, John B. Carson, Philadelphia, Edinburgh, Challenge, Moderator, Nebraska, Sioux City, White Cloud, Omaha.

Lock wood, Wild Duck. Nile, Victoria, Champion, Blue Lodge, Calhoun, Alma, Central City, Raven, Salvor, J. W. Garrett, Hud son, Beaver, John B. Kelser, Lulu Worth, Cornelia and Badger State. "The above were sunk between the years 1855 and 1883. In addition to these there were twenty barges lost north of BLssell's point during the same years. No record was kept of the sawyer or cut timber rafts that were lost south of Alton, but it has been estimated that the aggregate value was over one million dollars. Only two of the above-named boats, the Calhoun and Alma, were raised. The bones of all the others lie many feet beneath the sands, petrifying under the action of the waters. The actual loss In marine property to the merchants of St. Loui3 by the sink ing of these boats was over five million dollars." ART IN LETTER WRITING. Send Cheerful Epistles, But Let Them Be Sincere. The popular woman does not write doleful letters; she waits till she Is In a better frame of mind be fore beginning them, for she real izes that there are burdens enough in life without adding to them by In flicting pessimistic epistles on her friends. If she writes a letter of condo lence It seems to come from the heart, for If It does not sound that way she will not let its coldness fur ther grieve a bereaved one; and If she sends congratulations to a bride or a mother she makes a point of recollecting or looking up some rousing good wishes that have the ring of genuine Interest. One woman drops a fragrant Cower In a letter, not to a gushing schoolgirl, but to an old lady or a tired mother of an exacting family, and by this bit of sentiment not sentimentality keeps her memory green in the hearts of her friends.

Those ragged white Russian geese bite like bulldogs. It is no mere peck with them; they bite and hang on. The common old farmyard gander is a capital fighter when he Is driven to It. At a certain place In Scotland there used to be a caged golden eagle. He preferred to kill his own dinner, and it used to be a cruel sport to watch him dispose of any unfortunate hen or guinea fowl that was put Into his cage. They tried him, I believe, with ev ery sort of domestic poultry. Ducks, peafowl, -turkeys the eagle was master of them all. He had no trouble in finishing them off, no trouble even with the "bubbly-jock." But at length they tried him with a gander; but he could make nothing cf It. The gander crouched into a corner, drew back his head, and pre sented nothing but a broad, spade like bill from whichever quarter the eagle tried to attack him. The eagle fumed and fretted, and grew very angry; he made desperate attempts to take the gander in the flank, but the wise old bird defeated them all. In the end they had to give the gander his liberty, as the reward of his courage, and to satisfy the eagle with the much more succu lent dainty of a young turkey poulL Macmlllan's Magazine.

The Yorkshire folk have a pro verbial observation to this effect: " Quickly too'd and Quickly go. Quickly will thy mother bare . And this has given rise to a lot of learned discussion, for there seems to be doubt as to whether "too'd" means "toothed" or "to God," the former being the Interpretation com monly accepted. Others insist that 'the early breeding of teeth is a sign of a short life," in spite of the notorious Instances to the contrary In the cases of Marcus Curius Dren tatus, Creius Papyrius Carbo and Richard III. Another proverbial observation has It that "they would be young when they are old most be old when they are young." A theory highly disapproved of by physicians of the present time is that "children and chicken must always.be pick ing," by which Is meant that both must eat often and but little at a time. Since we have mentioned the phy sicians, here are several ancient proverbs relating to health: Wash your hands often, your feet seldom and your head never. The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman. Never touch your "eye but with your elbow. - After dinner alt awhile Attar supper walk a mil. Eat at pleasure.

Discarded Suitor's Treatment of the Girl Who Jilted Him. j The steamer Rio de Janeiro, which arrived recently from the orient, brought the following from Japan: A tragic episode occurred recent ly In Kochl. Two years ago a young farmer In an out-of-the-way village fell In love with the pretty daughter of a fellow-villager. They exchanged vows and the girl received some trifling gifts from her admirer. Called away &oon after on business, the young man kept up a desultory correspondence with his betrothed. As soon as he could he went back to his nstlve village, only to find the girl false and the wife of another. Hers, it appeared, had been merely girlish fancy. She was now the contented wife of a man whom she loved. The disappointed suitor tried to arrange a meeting with her, but all his endeavors were foiled. Finally he wrote to her insisting upon the return of the gifts he had once made. This the young woman foolishly re fused to do. The discarded suitor that night forced his way into the dwelling of his former love and her husband. He cutoff the wife's head In the most barbarous fashion, and then seizing the husband, who was trying to escape, stabbed him to death. Taking the woman's head with him he returned to bis own house. He placed the head on a low table, and, after upbraiding it in the bitterest terms, deliberately cut his own throat. Death was instantane ous. San Francisco Examiner. THE DOCTORS FAILED.

There are a great many theories as to its cause, and a great many theories a to the best meaasof euriagit, nostof which are absurd. One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma tism known la the annals of medicine is John O. Jenks, of Kirerside, R. I. lie became the rictim of rheumatism while la the army, and the disease seems to hare giren him a taste of all its various tortures. Physiciansaod medicines failed to give him any relief, until at last he effected Eis own deliverance from the bonds of pain. "Rheumatism!" said Mr. Jenks, when the subject was broached by a reporter who went to hear his story. "Weil, I should say I do know something about It; all learned by actual experience, too. I first contracted rheumatism in the army and I have had every variety af the affliction since, and have suffered such agony with it that at times death was a pleasant thought to dwell upon. Take medicine? Eaoagh to stock a drug store, and none of it did me any good. Then I began to study the dis eas myself. I aaada my mind to gst acquainted with the enemy and fight it on different lines. I had a theory of my own and began to look around for a remedy that was calculated to have tbs deaired effect. One after another waa tried until at last I hit upon Pain-Killer, which I applied freely. Almost with the first application came re lief. I kept on uftlog it and the rheumatism waa soon knocked out. Neither have I had any return of tha trouble. "I also used Pain-Killer internally for the aarue, another war re lie. It did what pounds af quinine couldn't do.
