John Highow livel not fifty miles frm lie:-?, Was large of heart and iu his faith -i ie He was a farmer very v,?ll to do, And bad a wife devoted, kin I and tru. Eut yet one sin life's devi jus ways b.ist, She was inclined to worry an 1 to fivl. 'Bout this or that, servants or hir j.l iu -n. But just now "bout a poor old speck I j 1 he:i. The rounding yeir ha 1 on tliei.- elTori--smilel, The great baru loft with sweeta.-:t hay vas piled. The yellow putnpkius 'neatii Septe;u'.?r'.s skies Had grown to more than their accustomed size. The honey bees had bounteous sweet? dis tilled, And rip'ning apples all the orch ird fillel. But in her heart therj was no joyous sonj; The heu with many speckles had gone wrong. .The various crops in garden and iu Held Had given forcu a more than generous yiell, The sheep and cattle both had multiplied, Aad in the house and barn were laid asida A good supply of all they made or grow To meet their wants the coming winter through. Yet she could 2nd no comfort night or day, The speckled hea had laid her eggs away. Ani so one day when to her house there came An aged friend, we will not call by name, And frankly asked how they were prosp'rin sow, , Poor Mrs. Highow knit her anxious brow, And bowing down her discontented head, Forgetting all the blessings round her spread, Declared that she was awfully distressed. The speckled hen had gone and hid her nest. And so it is too many souls possess The same great weakness that caused her distress. The little ills that life's pathway beset We magnify, and o'er them fume and fret. With eyes downcast auJ half despondent tread, We overlook the blessings rouud us spread. Tis true alike of women and of mea. And every life has its old speckled hen. Thomas F. Porter. The Carelessness of Peters. KY MTKE SHAHP. EORGE Peters was a very, very method ical person for so young a man. When letter got into Peters s hands it went through a certain routine and tLe aa swer departed from him to the copying book and from the copying book to the envelope aud the en velope, letter aud all, with enclosures marked, went into the letter box with a regularity that nothing but the office clock could emulate, and even that, the clerks said, was not as regular as Peters, for they claimed it was always fast in the morning and mighty slow iu pointing to 6 o'clock. It is little wonder, then, that Peters stood high iu the contideuce oold man Hentham. Beulham was IJenthanr Brothers &, Co. There were no brothers and no company that was merely the firm name it was all B;ntham, Perhaps there once were brothers and perhaps there was ouce a company, but that is all ancient history, anyhow, and has nothing to do with this strictly modern story. Aud it did not interfere with the fact that old.Bentham s name was a . lovely thing to have at the bottom of & large check. The clerks never speculated on the probable effect of love on Peters, because it never occurred to them that such a thing as Peters falliug in love was with in the bounds of possibility. Love, they argued, was not an article that can be docketed and ticketed and referred back for further information, and entered in the day book and posted on the debit or credit side of a ledger, so what on earth could Peters do with it it he had it? Manifestly nothing. If they had known as much about human nature as you or I, they would have surmised that when Peters did fall, it was time to stand from under. And who should Peters fall in love with but the very woman of all others whom he ought never to have given a thought to in other words, pretty little Miss Sadie Bentham, if you please. It made Peters himself cold when he thought of it, for he knew he had jus! as much chance of getting the moon oi the laureateship as the consent of Old Man Bentham. The clerks always said that it was Miss Sadie who fell in love with Peters, principally, I suppose, be cause she should have known better, and I think myself tLere is something to be said for that view of the matter. Any how she came to her father's place oi 'yi -J business very often ana apparently very unnecessarily, but the old man was al ways pleased to see her, no matter how busy he happened to be. At first she rarely looked at Peters, but when she did flash one of those quick glances of hers at him poor Peter3 thought he had the fever and ague, lie understood the symptoms later on. I don't know how things come to a climax; neither do the clerks, for that matter, although they pretended to. Be sides they are divided in their opinions, so I think their collective surmises amount to but vry little. Johnson clainrs that it was Joue over the telophone, while Parnam says she ca ne to the office one day, her father was not there, and proposed to Peters on the spot. One thing the clerks are unanimous about, and that is that Peters, left to himself, would never have had the courage. Still, too much attention must not be paid to what Hie clerks say. What can they know about it? They are ia another room. Peters knew that he had no right ta think about that girl during business hours. lie was paid to think about the old man aud his affairs, which were not nearly so interesting. But Peters was conscientious and he tried to do his duty. Nevertheless, the chances are that un consciously little Miss Sadie occupied some small portion of his mind that should heve been given up to the con cerns of Bentham Brothers ifc Co., and her presence where she had not the slightest business to be threw the rest of his mental machinery out of gear. It is very generally admitted now that the sprightly Miss Sadie managed the whole affair. No one who knew Peters would ever have given him the credit of proposing au elopement "accuse him of it, "as Johnson puts it. She claimed that while she could manage her father all right enough up to a certain point, yet that in his particular matter sho pre ferred to negotiate with him after mar riage rather than before. She had a great deal of the old man's shrewdness had Sadie. He used to say he would not like to have her as an opponent on a- wheat deal. Well, to come to the awful point wherer Peters's methodicalucss nearly upet the apple cart. The elopement was all set tled, Peters quaking most of the time, and he was to write her a letter giving an account of how arrangements were progressing. It will hardly be credited and yet it is possible enough when you think what a machine a methodical man gets to be that Peters wrote this epistle to his girl oa his desk aud put it in the pile of letters that were to be copied into the old man's letter book ! The office boy picked up the heap at exactly the usual hour, took them to the copying press, wet the thin leaves and squeezed them iu ; the love letter next to the one beginning: "Deah Sih Yours of the '211 received and contents noted." Peters got the corner curled letters still damp,aud put them all iu their right envolopes, and Sadie got hers in due time, but did not know enough about business correspondence to know that her first love-letter was written in copy ing ink and had been through the press. Next Jay when old man Bentham was looking over the leaves of the previous day's letters he suddenly began to chuckle to himself. Old Bentham had a very comfortable, good-natured, well-to-do chuckle that was a pleasure to hear. Even Peters almost smiled as he heard it. ' "Peters!" "Yes, sir." "Have you all the letters, Peters, that these are the answers toV "Certainly, sir." "There is one I want to see, Peters." "What is the name, please?'' "Petty. I did not know that we dealt in this libe of goods, Peters." "H. W. Petty, sir." "I don't know the initials. Here's the tetter." Peters was stricken. He was appalled dumb blind. The words "Darling Petty" danced before his eyes. He felt his hair beginning to rise. The book did not fall from his hand simply because he held it mechanically methodically. Old Bentham roared, then closed the door so that the clerks would not hear his mirth. "That's one on you, Peters. It's too good to keep. I must tell that down at the club." "1 wouldn't if I were you, sir," said Peters, slowly recovering his senses as he saw the old man had no suspicion how the land lay. "No, I suppose it wouldn't be quite the square thing. But of all men iu the world, Peter3 you. Why do you elope? Why not marry her respectably at the church or at home. You'll regret going off like that all your life." "Miss she that is prefers it that way, sir." "Oh, romantic, is she? I wouldn't do it, Peters." "There are other reasons." "Father or mother against, as usual, I suppose. Well, you refer them to me, Peters. I'll speak a good word for you. But what am I to do while you are away?" "I I thought perhips perhaps Johnson would take my place." "All right. I can put up with John son for a week, maybe, but thiuk of me and get back as soon as she'll let you." If old Mr. Bentham did not mention it at the club he did at home. "You remember Peters, Sadie. No I no I that was Johnson. Petere is ia my room, you know. No, tue rea neaaea man is Parnam. He's in the other room. Peters has the desk in the corner. Staid est fellow on the street. Ever so muct older than I am in manner of course. The last man iu the city you would sus pect of being in love. Well, he wrote'1 and so Mr. Bentham told the story. Sadie kissed him somewhat hysterically when he promised to say a good word for Peters and said he was very kind hearted. "Besides, papa, you ought to have a partner in the business. There is no Co., you know." "Bless me. child, what has Peters'a wedding to do with the company? He is taking the partner, not me. I can't take Peters into partnership merely because he chooses to get married." "Oh, I thought that was customary," said Sadie. There was no elopement after all. The clerks say that it wa3 the conscientious Peters that persuaded Sadia out of it. But a3 the old man found he had to give way, it came to nhe same thing. "Sadie," the old man said, "I thick I'll change the name of the firm. I'll retire and it will be after this 'Bentham, Husband & Co.' " Detroit Free Press. Colossal American rertunes. Nowhere in the world are individual fortunes so great as in America. There are nine Americans whose possessions are reckoned at from 50,000,000 to $150, 000,000. There are probably one thous and Americans who are worth $1,000, 000 or more. The largest personal fortune iu any foreign country belongs to the Duke of Westminster, a British peer. It consists of entailed estates, and he therefore has only a life interest in it. It is estimated at $00,000,000. The accumulated wealth of the Kothschilds is enormous but no one member of this famous family ol money-getters is considered worth over $40,000,000. The Rothschild family wealth, however, is undoubtedly the greatest in the universe. The fortune of Baron de Ilirsch, the philanthropist, does not exceed $25,000,000. Monarchs, despite the splendor in which they live, do not figure in the comparison of riches with untitled Americau citizens. The incomes of many of them are heavy but they are derived from the civil lists. Iu other words their subjects contribute the money which they avishly spend. Queen Qictoria is per haps the richest crowned head. She may be worth $15,000,000 but not more. The stories of her vast hoardings are un true. The Emperior of Austria is next to the Queen of Eugland in wealth. Most of the other European rulers, are figura atively speaking,beggars. The Emperor of Germany has nothing. The Czar ol Russia is poor in his own name, ualesa by reason of his being au absolute auto crat he may be considered to own the land he governs. The Pops is without personal possessions. All in the Vatican belongs to the church. Money is more easily made in America than elsewhere because the opportunities are more numerous and more favorable. Fortunes of $1,000,000 attract no more attention nowadays than those of $100. 000 did two decades ago. Fortunes are likely to increase as fast if not faster in the future than they have in the puat. Atlanta Constitution. It is estimated that tne various trans atlantic steamship lines now carry to Eu rope about one hundred thousand cabin passengers a year. The average expendi ture of their sojourn abroad will notifall short of $1000 each. It will thus beseen that the donation from America to Eu rope every year is $100.000.G00. LADIES' COLIMN. EXTHAORDINAnV COMBINATIONS ON HAT.'. Hats for summer of every sort and kind, and as variously trimmed, are tc be worn, and the most extraordinary combination of colors appears in th decoration. In some cacs it require.1 all the skill of the milliners to nake the result other than cither llashy or dowdy, the claim lor admiration resting xipou that very doubtful quality sometimes put forth as a plea for toleration, if not for admiration, that its beauty consists in ts usrhuess. " uncommon certainly some of the bonuets aud hats look, and whether it be that what is fashionable needs no other recommendation iu wo men's eyes, or that the milliner has at tained such perfection in her art, and such nice discrimination iu the blending of colors, it is certain that shades origi nally hostile to each other can now be reconciled. 2scw York Post. BCMMEK GOWNS. The princess gown is still a feature ol prevailing styles. It is strange, too, for there is no other mode of cutting a dress which is so hard to make a good fit. It is especially used in the wool crepons, which arc eo pretty and so cheap. If it were not for the appal ling prices good dressmakers charge, there is no reason in the world why everyone should not have pretty gowns this summer. With ginghams, summer silk3, India silks, wash silks and wool crepons all at fifty cents a yard, and point de geue lace at astonishingly low prices, every one of us ought to look as dainty as dainty can be. And then these things can be made up so simply, with not a scrap of trimming except a band of velvet ribbon round tho waist and the bottom of the sleeves and the collar, which is finish enough. Chicago Her ald. AGGKESSIVE, PKOGllESSI VE WOMAN. A young woman in St. Louis made $1300 last year furnishing bread to the Woman's Exchange. Sho was a high school graduate and wanted to teach, but while waiting for a place turned to bread making. She now has built a large oven at home and is satisfied with her profession. Miss Louise E. Francis is the editor and proprietor of the Castro ville (Cal.) Enterprise. As editor sho writes every line in her paper, she keeps her own books, is her own advertising agent, and not long ago, when her fore man was away and her printers struck, she rolled up her sleeves, set the type, ran the press and got her paper off to mail herself. Miss Francis is only twenty-two, ?nd is making money. Mrs. Ida A. Harper until recently was the managing editor of tli3 Terrc Haute Daily News. She is now the associate editor of the Indiauapolis News. Her capacity for work is large. At one time she traveled aud wrote different letters to eleven different journals, each unlike the other. Mrs. Mary Eagle, the wile of Governor Eagle of Arkansas, is re garded as the best Miirliumentarian in the Woman's Board of Managers for the World's vair. While Governor Eagle was Speaker of the Arkansas House ol Representatives sh; thoroughly familiar ized herself with parliamentary usage. A co-operative dressmaking establish ment has been started iu St. Louis. By paying so much cash down, according to one's means, each customer is for that occasion a stockholder and receives her dress finished according to contract. New York Sun. FASHION NOTES. Blue and green are colors now used in combination. Wide sashes of black watered ribbon are in demand. White bunting is a favorite material for house dresses. Black silk ulsters are shown for dust cloaks for traveling. Gloves have very loug culls. Some of them are very elaborately embroidered in gold, jet or steel. Surah silk is not the favorite it v.-as o old. It does not wear a3 well a3 others owing to the stillness in it. Deep Spanish fringes in black silk cord, having a lattice-work pattern, are seen on light silks, over which black lace is used. The shoe; for evening wear, at present, almost always match the toilet, and the material ma le use of in the gown is often seen in them. In novelties in dress fabric? it is im possible to escape froai patterncl mater ials. Every textile fabric shows some device or other. The most "Frenchy" combine stripes and brocaded figures. The diversity in round hats and bon nets is more displayed in the trimming than in the shapes, which have not ma terially changed. In the hats the brims are narrow and the crowns very small. A great novelty is shown in chiffon scarfs, with fringed and satin striped cuds and striped edges, which are draped around the hat, and either knotted in full bow or the ends left hanging in the back. The long street skirts are going out of fashion, and in their place is a prettily shaped round skirt, which just escapes the ground. Demi-trains are for calling and house wear, and long trains appear only on very elaborate occasions. The very latest Parisian fancy is the Greek bonnet. It is made of jet, and in front is a jet moon. Instead of the con ventional ribbon ties are three strings of jet beads, fastened on either side by a crescent, and finished at the back with a mauve and green aigrette six inches high. The Newspaper. Philip Gilbert Ilamerton, iu his papers on "Intellectual Life," thus speaks of the paper: "Newspapers are to tho civilized world what tho daily house-talk is to the members of the family they keep our daily interest in each other, they save us from the evils of isolation. To live as a member of the great whit race that has filled Europe aud America and colonized or conquered whatever territory it has been pleased to occupy, to share from day to day its thoughts, it3 cares, its inspirations, it is necessary that every man should read his paper. Why are the French peasants so bewild ered at sea? It is because they never read a newspaper. And why aro the inhabitants of the United States, though scattered over a territory fourteen times the area of France, so much more capa ble of concerted action, so much more alive and modern, so much more inter ested in discoveries of all kinds and ca pable of selecting and utilizing the best of them? It is because the newspapers penetrate everywhere, and even the lonely dweller on the prairie or the forest i3 not intellectually isolated from the great cur rents of public life which flow through the telegraph' and press." The Dog Knew Where to Jump. A very knowing dog got into the train which was coming down from up river, at Great Works, Mondiy. The train started up, and the dog still stayed aboard. The train began to move faster and faster, until it was going at the rato of twenty miles an hour. The dog did not dare to jump. The animal got out on the lowest step. At last the train reached a swamp. 112 then gave a tre mendous leap and landed in safety in the soft mud and water. The dog was un injured and ran back. Bangor (Me., News. Gibraltar is Carefully GnardeJ. It is only recently that people have been permitted to ascend the rock and Bignal station at Gibraltar. Sinco last November the British military, with their families, and persons connected with tho British navy, have been per mitted, to visit this fine lookout. The privilege, however, has not been ex tended to the citizens of Gibraltar nor j to strangers visiting the fortress, a cir cumstance which is generally resented, particularly by the subjects of the Queen.
