11 The Unwelcome Guest M
By Pierce B. Barnard.
WHEN Jim Busby returned
from the West to his na
tive town of -Canaan, he
did not expect to find his
memory canonized. Fifteen years was
hardly enough time, he thought, for
his fellow townsmen to forget his
faults or enlarge upon his virtues.
Doubtless those people were still alive
who, if they remembered the boy at
all, would do it to their sorrow; still
time usually softens grievances, and
Busby, with the aid of his newly ac
quired wealth, hoped to find some
kind of quasi welcome in the quiet
town under the elms.
He had never seriously injured any
one, he thought, and, although the vil
lage dogs might beat a hasty retreat
on the return of this prince of practi
cal jokers, the majority of the inhabi
tants had enjoyed in full measure his
many 'pleasantries.
Busby now grown up to wealth and
dignity was not a little ashamed of
his early pranks, and he determined,
as he alighted fromthe stago.-ani. en
tered the city hotel, to sign "some fic
titious name and look cautiously about
the old place to see what his standing
might be among the saints at home.
He was highly gratified to find the
town unaltered in any particular. We
like to see change and progress in the
great world at large, but our native
place, where we spent the happy years
of our boyhood, is blessed with too
many memories to admit of any im
provement. Eusby was thankful to find the vil
lage parson preaching the same kind
of exclusive hereafter that had fright
ened him into obedience fifteen years
before. He congratulated himself on
finding the old pump still yielding de
licious water from the same cracked
spout; to have repaired it would have
been an impertinence he felt. He
blessed the lazy and penurious school
directors for having failed to plug up
a single knot hole in the venerable
abode of knowledge where a succes
sion of pedagogical tyrants had only
partly subdued his spirit of fun.
The external landmarks of Canaan
still stood intact, but among the per
sonnel of the inhabitants there were
many missing faces.
The old fogies were mostly on deck
Busby's inveterate foes a little more
talkative, malevolent and reminiscent
perhaps. They were whittling on the
same red fence which had always
served as a resting place for the un
employed. Jim listened to the records
of the young man who had gone West
and the girls who had married wealthy
men. Some of his old associates occu
pied positions of honor and trust; in
fact, all had done well so well, that
he felt emboldened to r.rik after him
self not without many misgivings.
There was a slight change of expres
sion on the faces o: the old worthies
at the mention of tL.s wayward youth.
The oldest Inhabitant coughed, the
postmaster grinned, and the venerable
deacon looked the other way with a
knowing smile.
It was a tryii: moment for Jim.
Their significant; glances nettled him
not a little, and he could not refrain
from coming to h!:; own defence.
"He was always an active boy," he
said. .
"Too everlastingly active!" returned
the deacon with a suggestive grin.
"Every dog and cat knows he never
slept I calcalate there waren't no
kind o' tomfoolery he didn't practice
before he pulled out of here ' of a sud
den. Everybody prophesied he'd be
hung, and I guess the best people felt
relieved when they got the sad news
f his execution. ' I know I did."
Jim tried to whistle a tune in an un
concerned way, . but it was with dif
ficulty that he concealed his feelings.
It's something of a shock to find one
self hanged, and it takes time to get
used to it. He spent the day amusing
himself with the younger element, who
fortunately knew not Jim Busby. They
"ked him at once. His plaid suit,
heavy gold watch and plug hat seemed
io embody certain ideals of youthful
grandeur; and his free use of money
easily cemented their friendships.
The next day he hunted up his par
ents in the little graveyard and decid
ed to replace the wooden headboard
with a piece of marble in due time. He
also chatted with several old women
at work in their gardens, and found
Jim Busby had been anything but. a
favorite of the other sex. It was in
deed very discouraging. He felt re
vengeful.
Finally, In despair, he asked the edi
tor if anything had happened that was
worth printing since Jim Busby had
left. :;-.y.:
"'Nothing to speak of," answered the
editor, stroking his . chin . whiskers,
"and wf're thankful for it Fifteen
years ago a body couldn't go to bed
without expecting to wake up and find
his live-stock on the roof of his house
or his black cow whitewashed a pale
pink." ; 1 : ,
"Confound it!" said Jim, out of pa
tience. "You people haven't treated
Jim Busby right; you enjoyed his
jokes as much as he did."
"Well, what is that to you, please?"
"Simply this; I am Jim Busby."
The news spread quickly.
MI don't believe it," said the oldest
inhabitant," who stood near.
"That can't be Jim Busby never be
haved himself two days together in his
whole life." , ,
"Well, it's a fact, any ways." said
Jim. "I've been out knocking round
for fifteen years without scarcely - a
postage stamp to my name, and when
I made my stake I thought I'd hunt up
a relative or two to share it with me;
but I find these people think, wh.?n
they've got a feller hung, they've done
enough for one man."
"Pshaw, Jim!" said one. "If we'd
aknowed it was you, it would have
been different."
Most of the bystanders agreed with
him.
"I, for one, am satisfied Jim Busby
was hung," said the deacon. "I got the
hull account of it in my scrap-book ;,
but as you seem to be an uncommon
good feller I'd like to make your ac
quaintance so come over to the house
for dinner and we'll argue the point.",
"I don't want to destroy any old
memory that has been such a comfort
to you," said Jim,' "so I won't accept
your hospitality now, but I do want
to make things right. Your fool story
about my. hanging has blackened my
reputation a good deal and helDed mv
aged parents IntOxrn-enrry- gr a v e; - irac - 4
I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.
I want to get solid with future gen
erations and you can help me.- The
deacon, there, can make a rousing
good speech and the editor can. give
it a send off. To-morrow morning, at
three, I want you to take a wagon,
with some straw in it, to Canaan Junc
tion. A bronze statue of yours truly
will arrive by an early express. Gents,
you understand?"
They understood, and although there
were serious doubts in the deacon's
mind about this being Jim Busby, he
wasn't the man to miss an opportunity
of making a speech, and he set about
preparing a rich eulogium of the prac
tical joker which he rehearsed In his
barn the rest of the afternoon.
The oldest inhabitant got out his
lemonade stand, the editor issued an
extra, and the village brass band pre-1
pared to turn out.
The next morning by the dim liglrt
of stars they all hied them to the
Junction five miles off t and awaited
the arrival of the statue of the great
man. It was raining hard, but what
of that? Their anticipations mado
them young again, and they could
hardly wait until the train stopped.
But the express came and went with
nothing but . disappointment for the
Canaanites.
As they returnef?home a vague feel
ing of uneasiness and dread overtook
the party, and many began to heap
maledictions afresh upon the promot
er of this fool's errand; but,, when all
got back to the hotel and found their
late visitor departed, their, worst fears
were realized.
It was the deacon who remarked
somewhat sadly to the weather-beaten,
crestfallen crowd:
"Well, I guess that was Jim Busby,
after all." Waverley Magazine.
The Scottish Regalia.
It is rumored in Edinburgh that the
Scottish regalia, which has been kept
in the castle for over two centuries,
will be temporarily removed to Holy
rood Palace when the. King holds his
court The regalia, of which the chief
is Brace's crown (used at the corona
tion of every subsequent monarch, of
Scotland), were locked up in a room
in the castle just after the union in
1707, and brought to light again in
1817, by ordr of the Prince Regent.
During the civil wars some of them
were kept in Dunottar Castle, in Kin
cardineshire, which was held by Ogil
vy, of Barras, against Cromwell's
troops. The wife of a minister was
allowed to enter the fortress to see
Ogilvy's wife, and she' and her maid
between them smuggled out the
crown, sceptre and : sword. ; When
Dunottar surrendered and the valua
bles were , missed Ogilvy was sent to
prison in England. London News. -

WOMEN
; Two Ways in Which Women Work. '
Parasols do not pass through several
different "hands," as do dresses, but
are' made., from first to last by one
worker. The making of one parasol
provides a woman with work for the
best part of a week, if. it be a very
special and beautiful one. -
A great firm of perfumers in London,
which till now has, for centuries em
ployed men entirely, contemplates tak
ing on girls for "capping" the bottles
of scent. The work is essentially that
which small, neat fingers can accom
plish quickly and well, but alas! the
pay the women will earn at it will be
one-third of what the men received.

brother and nephew of the artist, and
of Alexandre Jacob, architect. It con

pedestal of Lorraine marble. On the
front of the pedestal is a medallion of

S30O.0OO Spent For One Toilet.
The coronation robe of the Empress
of Russia cost ' 200,000, and took
something like twelve months to com
plete. The gown was covered with a
decoration of pearls and tiny diamonds
secured by a fretwork of golden wires
so arranged as to fall into a conven
tional design. This decoration was the
achievement of the modern scientific
- xTTH.7aj2ar
sumed months" of patient toil by the
most skillful jewelers in Paris, the ef
fect of the whole was that of elegant
simrjlicitv. At the coronation the
-
Czar was completely outdone by his
wife in gorgeousness of attire. His
crown, however, contained some mag
nificent gems. At the summit is a
cross of five perfect diamonds, and a
pear-shaped ruby, reckoned to be the
finest in the world. Ladies' Field.
Gowns of Finest Cotton.
Preferred to foulard this season for
style is the fine spun and finely wov
en cotton- dress goods with an all
black ground. The printing upon it is
in Ivory white. It has not the coarse
look of some of the strong twilled cot
ton dress materials. The white is not
dead white, but a clear, soft ivory. The
designs printed are the all-popular
foulard patterns. These are well dis
tinguished from the mercerised dress
goods in vogue last season, and still
popular in a certain sense. The dull
cashmere finish is a rest to the eye
wearied with looking at moire and
glace effects.
A New York bride chose one of these
fine black ground cottons for her go
ing away gown. It was not to be mis
taken for a foulard. The skirt of the
frock was unlined, having only a six
inch facing. This makes it cool in
deed, for most of the foulards and In
dia silks are made up on a deep
skirt or' have the lining set in, "seam
to seam." The waist is "half -lined"
with white lawn, but the bishop
sleeves have.no lining whatever, ex
cept a piece cut to fit the arm size and
"stayed" thereabouts.
The Girl's Allowance.
The question of an allowance for the
daughter of the household Is one that
is constantly beinc-- discussed. It seems
to be pretty generally accepted that it
is a good idea, and teaches a girl the
value and use of money. So it does,
but it sometimes teaches her some
other things that need a little guarding
against. A girl with an allowance
occasionally makes it an excuse for
penuriousness on the one side, and un
hesitating bogging on the other, that
tend a littlo to character deteriora
tion. Whil3 it is perfectly right and
proper' to give as an excuse for self
denial that one's allowance is exhaust
cd, or will not admit of the proposed
purchase, or pleasure trip, it is not
right to say, as iris have been heard
to do: "I'll go with you, but you must
pay my ear fare;" .o:v "I hiTce only a
dime to spare In the treat If you will
let me come in on that," etc. I have
heard a girl reply, in answer to a sug
gestion from a companion on a short
railroad trip, that a parlor car should
be taken, "Oh, if , we do that, you will
have to pay my way on it, my allow
ance is so nearly spent." Girls who
.would shrink from the idea of "spong
'ing under other circumstances, do
L.Ot hesitate to take advantage of thi
allowance peg upon which to hang
good many small meannesses in mon
ey matters. When! it comes to the
mother's purse, the cribbing by any
means and outright purloining, indeed,
are not disguised. These are onlv lit
tie foxes, to be sure, girls, but they
gnaw the. vines of integrity and self,
respect, and would better be choked
off .Harper's Bazar.

One of the three women who have
been honored in England by public
statues to their memory was Dorothy

At one end the posts are about five

i Wastes on the Farm. a ---
Millions of dollars' worth of mate
dal are wasted annually on the farms
of this country, is a statement made
by some authority.; In the' aggregate
I suppose there is an enormous amount
of waste in every industry, and farm
ing is no exception to the rule. There
are farmers to-day who avoid waste
on their farms fully as much as the
wideawake manufacturer or producer
In other lines. On the other hand,
there are plenty who fail to realize
that they are wasting good material,
although the process is going on daily
under their very noses. Everything
is a waste that is not put to its best
and highest use. Thus cornstalks
burned in the field is a distinct waste
if there is any possible way to convert'
, them into food for cattle. Sometimes
it is a decided waste simply because
the farmer is too stupid to see that his
best plan is to raise more cattle to eat j
the stalks, and less corn. Again it i
ray be a great waste to attempt to
raise only one farm crop when the un
certainties of selling the produce at a
fair profit are great, especially if there :
are other crops which could be raised
satisfactorily.
Sometimes one of the greatest wastes
on the farm comes from the failure to
spend money for needed improve
ments. The soil that is not in fit con
dition for raising a certain crop, to the
highest perfection is actually -wasted
when sown with seed tvhich: it cannot
possibly do the best by. The waste'
comes in at such times because of lack
of foresight or because the farmer is
unwilling to spend the extra amount
o- money. Now, we can waste soil
and crops. "We can also waste time,
machinery and labor. All of these are
important factors and they must be,
studied separately and individually
The successful merchant studies the
market, labor, cost of production and
the wear and tear of machinery and
wasteW capital. So the farmer must,
to avoid leaks and wastes, look to it
that the highest efficiency is. obtained
from every dollar of capital he has in
vested. Progressive farmers of to-day
are doing this, and they are rapidly
becoming the best business men in the
country. The man who can take a
run-down farm and build v it up and
make a good living from it through
good farming' Is a shrewd business
man not to be overlooked In this age
of strenuous living. W. E. Edwards,
