Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
School was over for the day, and
Miss Merritt stood by the open
window, breathing in the fresh air
from the May woods.
All the grimy slates and pencils
were in their places; the dog’s ear
ed books piled up; the copy books
iu the big desk.
Even little Tommy Pepper, the
prettiest and worst behaved boy in
school, lind been let off from his
diurnal half hour’s detention, un
der solemn bonds of never offend
ing again in the bent pin and spit-
ball question, and Miss Merritt
was drawing a long sigh of relief,
when the door flew open with a
jerk, and Irene Evans came in,car
rying a bundle of books.
Miss Merritt opened her eyes.
“Why, Irene,I thought you must
be sick,” said she. “You have not
been in school for two days.”
Irene was tall and shapely with
large blue eyes,black hair growing
low on her brows, and very red
cheeks. Her calico gown fitted her
badly, and the ribbons on her
coarse straw hat were faded iu the
sun,and spotted by many a shower.
“No,” said she, jerking oat the
words somewhat as she had jerked
open the door, “I ain’t sick. But
I ain’t cornin’ to school any more.
Father, he says it’s a waste o’
time.” ■ ,
“Oh, Irene!”
The girl sat down on one of the
hacked and whittled benches and
burst into tears.
“If I knew anywhere to run,”
said she, “I’d run away. Yes, I
would. Father don’t treat me
more’n half decent, and he hain’t,
since mother died. I ain’t nothin’
but a drudge,and I hain’t no clothes
fit to wear, and lie won’t pay me a
cent wages, beg and implore as I
will. I’d sort o’ set my heart on
takiu’ sammer boarders this year,
like Ellen Holt did last season,but
he says he’s hired extra farm hands,
and I’ve got to cook for ’em for
nothin’.- Oh, Miss Merritt, what
shall I do?”
Miss Merritt smoothed down the
black, criukley hair with a kindly
touch, as she stood over the girl’s
drooping form.
Bnt,Irene,” said she, “if he puts,
all this additional work upon you,
he surely should allow you some of
the profits.”
Irene gave a short laugh.
“Catch him!” said she. “He just
won’t.”
Irene,” said Miss Merritt,” T
have always heard that half tire
farm was yours.”
t “It was mother’s,” said Irene.
‘‘He was only mother’s second
husband, you know, and the farms
joined. It's mine by will, but he
don’t care nothing about wins,’’
Vlsn’t there an old house on'the
place?”
“Yes, but it ain’t so modern as
the one we live in * '
ed Irene.
“TheD, why don’t you fit it tip
and go into the boarder business
yourself? You are eighteen and
past, for all you are ed behind in
ycrur rule of three and geography.’
And you are an excellent cook and
a good housekeeper, and you. have
managed for Mr. Parsons
since yonr mother died.”
“Me!” gasped Irene. “All alone.’
“I would come and be your first
boarder,” said Miss Merritt. “My
present home is too far to walk,
now that the warm.weathey has set
in. I must make some change.
“But I ain’t got no furniture,’
said the girl.

that,” smiled the school; teacher. I

“What!” roared old Medad Par

along the road beyond his doorway;
Irene furnishin’ up that old ram

ers? Why, we’ve got boarder-s here,
haiu’t we? Four on ’em, for hayin’
time. An’who’s goin’to cook an’
wash an’ scrub for me, I’d like to
know ?”
“Not Irene, I guess,” said old
Mrs. Simmons, who stood by the
gate. “Irene’s got sort o’ tired o’
the way you manage matters, Dea
con Parsons.”
“But,” stuttered the deacon, “it
will, cost me a dollar an’ a harf a
week to get Nancy Nutting here.”
“I shouldn’t wonder,” said Mrs.
Simmons.
T guess,” snarled Parsons,
Irene’ll find I’ve got a word to
say on this ’ere queston.”
But Irene had more spirit than
he had given her credit for.
I’ve got to have clothes,” said
she, “an’ I've got to earn a little
money of my own. And I’m going
to earn it this way.”
“You hairi’t no business in that
house nor on that land,” snarled
the old man, “unless you rent it of
me.”
It’s my mother's land, not
yours?” flashed out Irene.
And I’m your guardeen till
you’re, twenty-one!”
“Not legally?” cried Irene.
'•‘Wal, if you Want to take it into
the law courts, I’m willin’,”, said
Parsons. “I guess you’ll fiud out
right. And what’s more, I
leased that land last week for five
yeai;s, to Squire Tolland’s son.
He’s a notion to go into the tobac
co-raisin’ business.”
“But,” gapsed Irene, “I’ve pa

I don’t want to see ye cornered.
You can let your boarders come
here to this house. It’s a deal com-
fortabler an’ more sightly than tire
other one, and the hay hands can
hev them little chambers in the
barn loft. Thar’s room for all of
’em.”
“And what will you allow ufe for
work?” eagerly questioned Irene.
“I’ll allow ye your board an’;
clethes,” said the flinty-hearted old
m;n. “An’ that’s all ye’re wut-h.”
“No,’.’ said Irene, firmly.. “If I
am to be your maid-of-all-work,
father, I must have a maid-of-all-
work’s wages.” .
“Well, ye won’t!” indifferently
spoke Deacon Parsons, as he put
his clay, pipe on the, windowsill.
A.nd as he watched Irene go out
of the room, he muttered to him
self:
“I guess Fy.e got her this time.’
Quietly and silen
A woman was planning to take
summer boarders,” said Irene, in a
choked voice. “Women hain’t
many ways of earnin’ a livin’, you
know.”
Well, she’ll have to earn hers
some other way,” said Tolland,
lightly. “I’ve leased this land and
I’m going to live in this house.
And I want yon to live there with
me. Don’t start so, Irene,” pass
ing his arm caressingly around her
poor Jittle calico-clad waist. “ I’ve
always.loved you since I was a boy,
and I’ve always looked forward to
this time. Will you marry me,
Irene? We’ll buy the furniture of
the boarding house keeper, if it
suits you, dear. I don’t want any
poor soul to lose money through
me, and we’ll move right in. Come,
dearest, let us go through our own
house together!”
For her head had fallen on his
shoulder. She had burst into an
April storm of smiles and tears.
“Oh,” she cried, “it seems as if I
must be dreaming! Do you love
me, Harry? Do you really* care
for poor, stupid, insignificant me?”
“I love you, Irene,” he answered
simply. “Don’t I tell you that I
always loved you?”
“Then, Harry,” she whispered,
let me tell you a secret. I’m the
boarding house keeper.”
Aud she confided to his aston
ished ears the whole story of her
venture.
“And yon must let me go on all
the same, Harry!” coaxed she.
“Because you know, dear, we’re
young people just beginning the
world, and I want to contribute my
share. And Miss Merritt has as
sisted me, and she must be paid.
And, oh, Harry, I shall be so proud
to do something to help—my hus
band!”
“For the sake of those two sweet
words you shall have your own way,
my darling,” said young Tolland,
exultingly. “But, Irene, what a
plucky girl you are, to be sure.
Do you know I’m proud of you!”
The city boarders were rather
surprised when they arrived, in the
purple dusk of a lovely July even
ing. In all the negotiations noth
ing had been said about Mr. Tol
land.
“I didn’t know there was a man
of the house,” said Mrs. De Poyntz.
“Why, of course there is!” said
Miss Merritt. “Who else would
take yon for long drives to all the
cascades and grottoes and moun
tain tops? Who would put up the
lawn tennis nets, and hang the
hammocks? You might have known
we couldn’t get along without a
man about the house?”
He’s very handsome, anyhow,’
said Miss Gramont. “Bnt how ex
tremely young our host and hos
tess are!”
“Oh, they’ll get over that every
day they live,” said Miss Merritt,
laughing.
And Deacon Parsons gnashed
his teeth in vain. Irene had out
generaled him, after all.—[Satur

er. There has been but little
chance for farm work daring the
past three weeks, and nearly all
crops are filled with grass.
Upland corn seems to be. in bet
ter condition than any other crop,
and it is making fine headway, but
the lowlands are very wet, and all
crops on them are damaged to a
! considerable extent. The condi
tions are especially unfavorable
for cotton and other of the large
crops. Cool nights and wet weath
er have caused a sappy growth,
and it is not taking on very much
fruit. In many places the lowla’nd
crop is about ruined. Much wheat
and oats still remain in the field,
where they are rotting and sprout
ing. Peaches have also suffered
great deal. They are rotting bad
ly, and a large portion of the crop
will be lost. Although the reports
from this portion of the state are
as a rule rather gloomy, still there
are some exceptions, and from
few localities they are encourag
ing
The farmers in the northeast
section are also behind with their
work. Corn seems to be doing bet
ter than any other crop, although
it is turning yellow in places on the
bottom lands. Cotton is in full
bloom and will soon be laid by.
Very few reports are received from
this section in regard to cotton
but they are more favorable than
those of last week. The-apple crop
is rather short and peaches are
rotting badly. Watermelons have
been damaged by the wet weather.
Small grain in stacks and shocks
has also been greatly damaged,
More sunshine and heat with
less rain would prove a decided
benefit in the western portion of
the state. During the past seven
days farm work of all kinds has
been stopped to some extent by
the rains, and the lack of heat and
sunshine has delayed the maturing
of the crops. The conditions have
not been very favorable to cotton
It is rather small, and in places it
is shedding and turning yellow.
The crop is,as a rule,rather grassy,
and there is some complaint of
rust. Corn is in a better condition
than any other crqp in this section.
Peas, potatoes and small gardens
are in excellent condition. Peach
es and melons are abundant and in
excellent condition. Sugar cane
is also doing very well.
Reports from the central section
of the state are less favorable than
those of last week. Corn is firing
in places, but the crop still main
tains a very fair average. Cotton
has been very badly damaged, and
rust is reported in places. The
hay crop is very fine. Peas, pota
toes and other small crops are
looking very well.
The weather of the past week
has not been as favorable for crops
in the eastern section as that of
the preceding one. Nearly all re
ports agree that cotton has been
especially injured by the heavy
rains. It is shedding, and is over
run with grass, the growth of which
has been very great during the re
cent wet period, and little or no
plowing can be done. Rust ap
pears in some portions of the sec
tion, and it is not confined wholly
to the lowlands. Reports as to
corn are very favorable, and a fine
yield is expected. Much fruit is 1
rotting at some points, while at
others the crop is iu fair condition.
Potatoes, peas and garden truck
are doing fairly well.
Cotton in the southwest section
has undoubtedly suffered consid
erably on light, sandy soil, and
likewise on. lowlands, owing to
more v than the usual amount of
rainfall. The wet weather has
caused a rapid growth of stalk but
the fruit of the plant is very back
ward m making its appearance.
“Black rust” is reported ns quite
general in the sandy and lowland
regions* Grass has also given con
siderable trouble, and on account
of the continued rains there has
been very little opportunity for
ridding the crop of it. The cotton
crop is most promising on clay soil
and the uplands. The seasonable
temperatures of the past week
have greatly aided iu the advance
ment of corn, and fodder pulling
will he commenced very soon. Po
tatoes are doiug finely. Peas are

the crop.
About the average amount of
rain has been received in the south
ern portion, and the temperature
wa3 about the normal. The rain
fail!, although about the average
amount, was badly distributed,and
some leporters complain of too
much. Cotton in som.e portions
of the section has been slighly in
jured by too much wet weather,
and is shedding both leaf and
fruit. It is generally considered
somewhat below the average. Corn
is about made, and fodder pulling
has commenced. If fair weather
continues a good yield may be ex
pected. Peas, potatoes and all
garden truck are in a flourishing
condition. There are few reports
as to frnit, but it seems to be a lit
tle below the average.
With the. exception of a very
few localities, the crops in the
southeast are iu as good condition
as could be expected. Ee.v dam
aging reports have been received
relative to cotton, though the
growth is somewhat backward as
compared with that. of past sea
sons. Grass has given some trou
ble, and shedding in the lowlands
is reported, but on an average the
crop in this portion of the state is
very fair. Reports relative to corn
have been flattering in every iu-
iustance. The conditions have
been very favorable for its growth,
aud it is filling out and maturing
rapidly. Fodder pulling is now in
progress. Sugar cane is fully up
to the average of past years.
Rice also gives promise of a
good yield. Peas, potatoes and all
vegetables have baeh growing nice
ly, and the showers of the past
week gave excellent opportunities
for the setting out of potato slips.
Large shipments of pears have
been made.

Smith and his wife have every

there is one thing lacking to their
happiness. Both are fond of chil

home. “I would give ten years of
my life if I could have one healthy
living child of my owd,” Smith of

can be the mother of healthy off
spring unless she is herself in good
health. If she suffers from female
weakness, general debility, bear

Mr. W. L. Jones, who resides on
the Colambns road, about three
and a half miles from the city, had
novel experience recently with a
chicken thief. Mr. Jones had oc
casion to go out in his yard early;
and' as he did so he saw a shepherd
dog steal one of his chickens —a
large number of which be raised
this year. He went into the house
to get his Winchester rifle, and
when lie went out again he saw the
dog steal another chicken. The
gentleman shot and killed the dog
just as he was going into the woods,
aud .going to the spot he saw a
man running away, leaving behind
nearly thirty chickens, which he
had made the dog steal for him.—

NEW YORK HERALD.
If-the Third Party should carry
enough States, the next presiden
tial election might be thrown info
the House.
It is, therefore, a matter of time
ly interest to' review the procedure
prescribed for such an emergency
by the constitution.
That instrument provides that
the person who receives the great
est number of electoral votes*for
president shall be president, if
such number Le a majority of all.
the electors. If ho due have such
a majority ‘then from ihe persons
having the highest number,not ex
ceeding three on the list of those
voted for as president, the House
of Representatives shall choose at
once by ballott the president”
The electoral college now con
sists of 444'vote. A majority nec
essary to elect is 223, If both Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Harriso'a fail to"
get that number, and assuming
that the third party candidate will
not, there will bo no election by the
people, and it will devolve upon
the House to choose a president
from these three candidates. The
voting in the House will be by
states and not by members. The
representation of each state will
have ODe vote. The one repre
sentative of Idaho will have a vole '
equal to the thirty-four represen
tatives of New York. A majority
of the states, thenty-three of the
forty-four, is necessary to a choice.
As the democrats control tha
representation of a majority of the
states, Mr. Cleveland would be the
choice of the House.
If the election of the president
should be thrown into- the House,
the choice of vice president would
by the constitution go to the Sen
ate—that is, assuming that no can
didate got a majority' of the elect
oral votes. While the House is
directed to choose a president from
the three highest candidates, the
Senate is required to select a vice
president from the two highest.
While the vote is by states in the
House,it is by senators in the Sen
ate. A majority of all the senators
elects.
Should the contingency we have
been considering arise, a very re
markable situation and a very im
portant question would be present
ed. The House, as we have said,
being democratic, would elect Mr.
Cleveland; the Senate, being re
publican, would naturally choose
Mr. Reid.
But would Mr. Reid be constitu
tionally eligible to the vice presi
dency with Mr. Cleveland as pres
ident? flFbat is, could a president
and vice president be chosen from
the same state?
On this question the meaning of
the constitution is open to debate.
Its words are:
“The electors shall meet in their
respective states and vote by ballot
for .president' and vice president,
one of whom at least shall not be
an inhabitant of the same state
with themselves.”
This is an express limitation on
the electors. It is not an exprefs *
limitation on congress.
On the other hand it may be said
that the purpose of the constitu-
tibn is to prevent in any case the
election of two persons from the
same state to the highest offices o£
the government On the other
hand it may be argued that as the
Senate and House are not express
ly enjoined, the prohibition does
not extend to them, and hence they
