* In the d»y* of old"- that was what
t board coming up thr sUIrcasa. The
voice ill at rang the words never knew
tlio days of old, though It was a sweet
and clear one. Rut the words them
»!ves act mo to thinking. Were the
dayj of old better than these days f Io
the days or lung ago were men and
women any better and nobler, or was
life more desirable? K Is true that
in the days of old, nobody got up early
In tlie morning, callod ••Central," and
had a row with her to gain ttie morn
ing amiability. In the daya of long
ago uobody lelegrabbed a “how-do you
do" to Hau Francisco and got a “good
evening" In snch a abort Urns that it
could not bo counted. All life was
slow, and It seems to me, somehow, all
lire was better. There wero some
luxuries missing. We did not have
sirswl>«rrlea iu Jenuary, nor did young
ladies start out with black locks iu
lbo morning and appear with blond
ones In the evening. In the daya of

old days servants were better. Why ?
because mistresses took sn interest in
tlhrm, and the one tbst intended to
marry was assisted In gutting bar
household llneu, while the oot who
nursed "my mother and nil bar child

lurried from the house of her mistress

love and slooars tears
In those old days men made love to
women, us they do nowadays, but that
love-making culminated in a marriage.
Men spoke to women with more rever
ence than they do just now, and when
young Knickerbocker took to visiting
Miss Stuyvesant every Sunday night,
both families knew what It meant, and
Mine. Knickerbocker and lime, Hluy
vesant looked through the tloec clients
to aee what canid be spared, and lime.
Utnyveeant wondered if It would be
wise to give these young people, just
starting in life, n stiver tsa service.
Nowadays their descendants demand
diamond tiaras, ueoklsoes. and won
derful sun bursts that, too often, oovor
hearts that have married for diamonds
and not for crowns o< love. In those
old days n mother willed her fur cloak
to her daughter; It was worth It; it
was real sable or real ermine, and
styles did uot ohaogo with the fancy
or every cooottr. as tbsy do aowadaya,
A well-cut, well-made garment wss In

felt better, and as 1 frisked home,
hanging onto my grand father's baud I
would nod at Father Gibbous and
strctolc my mouth very wide to show
that my seound teeth weru all quite In.
Dut those days are only, after all, a
little while. They seem like ywilonUy

very learned people—Why la It that
we forget the wonderful tilings that

so perfectly what hupped U years apv f
The X rays canoot explain Much

To be quite honest, I have very Utile
belief lo the X rays. What good will
It do tome girl who le horribly unhap
py. Inasmuch as the feels she is to be a
victim to consumption, to have an X
ray thrown on ber and make the doubt
a certainty/ Vqs, my Irlend. I »m a
believer In hope. U is an old fashioned
belief, but then 1 am a bit old-fash
ioned and have a leaning even toward
Judas, fully believing that —
r« «bs lamp bo id* out lo burn
T™" v*k»i *tnr>cT may return."
In the days of old, women who did
uoi believe were unknown. Nowadays
we may have cleverer women— I doubt
It. Bat In those days little children
bong around their mother's knee and
Isdrnsd to say their prayers, and leier
on, when tboy wore big children, aud
the sorrows of Ilfs oame to them, they
returned lo that mother and wept out
on her heart tbe griefs that they could
not tell.
Nowadays we have women wlio
know all about tbe creatioo of the
world; we have women who acoff at
tbe idea of prayer and call it foolish;
we hive women who believe there ha#
neytr boen anything greater, or wiser,
or more loving, or mote forgiving than
man. And I am sorry to say we have
too many of these women. But, if
you fslt yonr heart torn in two, if you
felt that you wanted a woman's hand
to rest on yonr bead, aud a woman's
voice to call you by loving names,
would it os one of Umm women to
whom you would go ? I think not.
iou would either bear your trouble
alons, or bant up one of those women
who In days of old was a good wife
and loving mother. You wouldu’l
like to stop a lady who was just get
ting on her bicycle to come back aud
hear your trouble. I wonder what tb*
ladles of long ago woold bays thought
of the bicycle ? Those ladies who
were so careful about sitting down in
a femlciue way and walking In a
feminine way—what would they think
of a steel boras that demanded tbe
throwing of their lags across the sad
dle and wearing knickerbockers t i
read a year or two ago about s funeral
lo Ptrli; the funeral of a man who wan
a noted rider of tbe bicycle. tie was
followed to the grave by GOO men and
women on their bicycles. Well. I
laughed, 1 laughed until 1 remembered
bow awful death always Is mod bow
ridiculous, and how frivolous, end
hideous the bicycle is. When a sol
dier dies, there Is something muenifi
oont in having bis horse without the
rider lo tallow the caisson, boon use
tbs bone knew nod loved the dead
man; hut what can this thing of steel
do 1 It would be just as seuslble to
have 800 sewing machines follow a
woman who had worked in a shirt fac
tory as have bicycles follow u man who
was a famous rider.
For me, I like the days of old. when
a man rodo a l*«rse aud it was a tri
umph of mind over matter—yet. Pul
asaUar that had some mind, not rout
ter that was controlled by n monkey
wrench, or an oiling can. or whutover
may be rrqulied from the kit. Bat f

Una need not add to them by talking.

In 1800 be bought 68 acres or land,

his debt. The third year be went
largely on credit and put In s big crop
of cotton is tbe hope of making hig
profits. The crop and price were both
failure# and be lost money. Then he
went back to his old slow bat more
conservative method, aud now ho Is In

something liko 6100 on bis Und when
ever bn shall deem it advisable to do
so. lint only this, his prwjwrtv has

who will work and manage properly,
there Is still a good living on the farm.

Ixt u* see about Uux. Id 1881 Mr.
Cleveland received tbo electoral voire
of Xew Turk (38). Xew Jersey (0)
Cunocrtlcul (8)-61 In all. His ma
jority Id the electoral c<dlogr was 37.
Whars would tlie Dumociutic party
have been then without the votes of
those always souod numey statu t
In 1863 Mr. ChsvnUnd received the
slaotoroi vote* of those throe states
and la mdditloa Illinois (44). Wiscon
sin (14), with Qv* from Michigan and
one frum Ohio, Maryland si*., whose
latest Democratic platform denounces
"tha pernicious Onancisl heresy of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
15 to 1, dMr««i to by obu«*'d In tlM
saute 1ml with iu eight vote*, a* does
Kentucky with 13. nuking 114 Id ill.
In the electoral college Mr. Cleve
land bad 377 vote# and Mr. Harrison
146. If Ux eouud money veto* had
bees transferred to the Republican
candidate tba rsoolt would hare itoen
Cleveland 163, Harrison 336.
It thus appear* that withoat tbe
help of tbo e»und money states tbe
Democrat* could not have slu start <
president la 1884 or I8D3. The aatno
thing Is true of congress. Without
the representatives from these si a tea
tbs party would net hsvn bad a majori
