V* I “That City Feller’s Connin’ To-night” By FRANCES L. GARSIDE. O NLY those who have hart the broadening; experience of having an older sister in the family can fully appreciate this pic ture. To them it means something more than an artistic and rather amusing Hcene. It is a chapter from life. The oldNJt girl in the family is it» Princes*, and she rules with a heavy hand. Conditions that have suited her father, contented her mother, and been beyond criticism from the younger members are thoroughly revolutionized when daughter as cends the throne. 'ITils Princess is expecting a visit from a man from the city. If he were from the city or country, really makes little difference, for It is the opinion of every Princess that her lover is much superior to her f&mily, and that she must make them over to match his greatness. Father is going through the ordeal of getting ready for his Sunday clothes. Mother’s cooking, always a matter of criticism from the Prin cess, will be subjected to greater criticism than ever. The only one who is enjoying the excitement is the second daughter, who is antici-. pating the day when she will have a lover who will come ‘Tiding on his steed of steeds." There is always one subject in the domain of every Princess who re bels, and that is her youngest broth er. He has to be forcibly held, and If it were not for the restraint of his parents he would carry his re bellion to the extremity of active warfare. The picture also suggests the greatest need of the world to-day from a boy’s point of view; An ap plication of the “day cleaning” proc ess women talk so much about, and which is said to be harmless. A RAMBLE WITH EULOGIA A Love Story of the Old Spanish Missions By Gertrude Atherton TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. “bet him go," said Eulogia "Do you want to see a man cut to pieces before your eyee? You would have to say rosaries for the rest of your life.” She leaned over the side of the wagon and spoke to the dazed man, whose courage seemed to have deserted him. “Don Abel Hudson, thou dost not look so gallant a a at the hall last night, but thou helped us last night to get there* so I will save thoe now. Get Into the wagon, and take care thou crawlest In like a snake that thou mayeai not be seen.” Eulogia Befriends the Bandit. ■'No—no—!" cried the two older wom en, but in truth they were too terri fied not to submit. Power swung him self mechanically over the wheel and lay on the floor of the wagon. Eulogia In spite of s protesting whimper from Aunt Anastaula. loosened that good dame's outer skirt and threw it over the fallen bandit. Then the faithful Benito turned his horse and drove as rapidly toward the town as the rough roads would permit. They had barely started when they heard a great shout ing behind them, and turned in appre hension while the man on the floor groaned aloud in his fear. But the vigilantes rode by them unsuspecting. Am*a their saddles they carried the blackened and dripping bodies of Ij©- nares and his lieutenants. Through the willows gulloped the cabelleros in search of John Power.* But they cUd not find him then or after. Dona Pomposa hid him in the wood house until midnight, when he stole away, and was never seen near San buis again A few years later came the word that he had been assassinated in lower California by one of his lieutenants and his body eaten by the hogs Will Wed Garfias. A cabellero on a prancing horse sang beneath Kulogla’s window, his jingling spurs keeping time to the tinkling of his guitar. Eulogia turned over in bed, pulling the sheets above her ears, and went to sleep. And the next day, when Don Thomas Garfias asked her hand of her mother, Dona Coquetta accepted him with a shrug of her shoulders. “And thou lovest me, Eulogia?*’ mur mured the enraptured little dandy as Dona Pomposa and Aunt Anastacla good naturedly discussed the composi tion of American pies. "No.” "Ay! Why then dost thou marry me? No one compels thee.” "It pleases me What affair of thine are my reasons if I consent to marry thee?” "O Eulogia, I believe thou loveet me! Why not?

CA A rUAT shall I do," said ten- \/\/ der-hearted woman, "to stop useless suffering over the misery in the world I can not re lieve?" To do this and yet retain sympathy it is necessary to become a philos opher. Add to philosophy a belief In reincarnation and a devout trust in the Creator. Then study socialism ; and cultivate thoughts of universal brotherhood. No good Is accomplished by im potent sympathy which causes the one who beholds misery to suffer without being able to alleviate the ! misery in any way. It is Just so much more misery added to the world’s store. How To Be Happy. It is a good thine to utter a silent prayer for the peac<*atid happiness of those we see in sorrow and can not relieve, and to assert for them what ever ‘good they lack- in their lives. Then go about •your business and leave them with the Great Master of the Universe. Concern yourself with living such a* life as will not add to the world’s sor row. Be unselfish. When you stop and look into the causes of so much wretchedness in the world you will find it is entirely and wholly caused by selfishness. Every time you allow yourself to do a selfish act you are helping on these misfortunes which so distress you and increasing the complications of the social conditions. Every time you overcome q st fish impulse you set in motion unseen thought forces which help humanity. Keep a close guard over yourself; do whatever you can to aid the un fortunate, but be careful that while you give individual assistance you are not leading a selfish life at home or in business, and thus laying an under ground road to disaster for many more than you are aiding Keep your trust in God’s wisdom. Remember he has brought the world up from chaos and confusion, and hu manity up from wild savagery to its present much unproved state. Bad as it is. it was once much worse. Wide as the misery is on the earth, it was much wider only a few centuries ago Do your part to the best of your ability and leave God to do His., Sow Seeds of Kindness. It is folly to make yourself wretch ed because you can not clothe and educate all the orphans in the world or heal all the sick and cause all tin blind to see. The thing you car\ do is to drop a little >ved of kindness and justice and unselfishness into the minds of th little children near you: to help th invalids of your acquaintance to be lieve health is their poriton and will come to them, and to assert spiritual sight for the whole blind world. You will be helping to better and brighten the earth if you do this con stantly. Many a poor orphan Is better off than children of wealthy parents Many an invalid and blind man ha- found spiritual illumination through his physical misfortune. Improve the conditions about you by living as nearly to the Golden Rule standard, as you fan. -Then let God d< the rest, and enjoy yourself in th- thought that “all is well with the w orld.” so before thee. Thou only wishest to tease me a little.” "Well; do not let me see too much of thee before the wedding day or I may send thee hack to those who ad mire thee more than I do.” “Perhaps it Is well that I go to San Francisco to remain three months,” said the young man, sulkily; he had too much vanity to be enraged. "Wilt thou marry me as soon as I return?” "As well then as any other time.” Garfias left San Luis a few days later to attend to Important business in San Francisco, and although Dona Pomposa and Aunt Anastacla began at once to make the wedding outfit, Eulogia ap peared to forget that she had ever given promise of marriage. She was as great a belle as ever, for no one be lieved that she would keep faith with any man, much less with such a ridicul ous little sprat as Garfias. Her flirta tions were more calmly audacious than ever, her dancing more spirited; in every frolic she was the leader. Go to Sulphur Springs. Suddenly Dona Pomposa was smitten with rheumatism. She groaned by night and shouted by day. Eulogia, whose quantity of patience was not large, organized a camping party to the sul phur springs of the great rancho, Paso de Robles. The young people went on horseback; Dona Pomposa and Aunt Anastacla In the wagon with the tents and other camping necessities. Groans and shrieks mingled with the careless laughter of the girls and caballeros, who looked upon rheumatism as the inevita ble sister of old age. But when they entered the parklike valley after the ride over the beautiful Chrome Moun tains, Dona Pomposa declared that the keen, dry air had made her better al ready. That evening when the girls left their tents their gay muslin frocks waved like agitated banners. Some Americans were pitching their tents by the springs. They proved to be a party of mining engineers from San Francisco, and, al though there was only one young man among them, the greater was the ex citement. Many of the girls were beau tiful, with their long braids and soft eyes, but Eulogia, in her yellow’ gown, flashed about like a series of meteors as the Americans drew near and prof fered their services to Dona Pomposa. Gives Her Flowers. The young man introduced himself as Chailes Rogers. He was a good- looking little fellow, in the lighter American style His well-attired figure was slim ami active, his shrewd eyes blue, his mouse-colored hair short and very straight. After a few moments' critical survey of the charming faces behind Dona Pomposa he went off among the trees, and, returning with a bunch of wild flowers, walked straight over to Eulogia and handed them t< her. She gave him a roguish little courtesy "Much thanks, senor. You must ’souse my English; I no spik often. The Americans no cares for the flores?” "I like them well enough, but I hope you will accept these.” "Si, senor." She put them in her bell "You like California 0 " “Very much. It is full of gold, ex cellent for agriculture." “But it is no beautiful country?” H "Oh, yes, it does very well, and the climate is pretty fair in some parts.” "You living in San Francisco?” "I am a mining engineer, and we have got hold of a pretty good thing near here.” "The Americanos make all the money now." “The gold was put there for someone to take out. You Califorians had things all your own way for a hundred years, but you let it stay there. "Tell me how you take it out.” Proposes to Her. E entered into a detailed and some what technical description, but her quick mind grasped the meaning of unfamiliar words. "You like to make money?” she asked after he had finished. "Of course. What else «x a man made for? Life is a pretty small affair with out money.” "We no have much now, but we live very happy. The Americanos love the money. Always I see that.” "Americans have sense.” He devoted himself to her during the ten days of their stay, and his business shrewdness and matter-of-fact conver sation attracted the keen-witted girl, satiated with sighs and serenades. On the morning of their return San Luis Obispo, Rogers and Eulogia were standing somewhat apart, while vaqueros rounded up the horses pie Autumn lillies and handed it to her. Senorita,” he said, "suppose you marry me! It is a good thing for a man to be married in a wild country » like this; he is not so apt to gamble and drink. And, although I’ve seen a good many pretty grls. I’ve seen no one so likely to keep me at home in the evenings as yourself. Whai do you say?” Eulogia laughed. His wooing interest ed her. “I promise marry another man; not I think much I ever go to do it.” ‘Well, let him go. and marry me.” ‘I no think like ybu much better.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Derivation of Almanac. 1 HE etymology of this word has been more disputed than that of any other in the English language, and from the opinions expressed upon the subject, Verstegan's has been accepted as probable, though there can not be the slightest doubt that the Saxons, from whom he obtained his derivation, took their term from the Arabic. “The Saxons,” he says, "used to engrave upon certain squared sticks, about a foot in length, or shorter or longer as they pleased, the courses of the moones for the whole yeere, whereby they could alwaies certainly tell when the new moones, full moones and changes should happen, as also their festival dales, and such a carved stick they called an al-mon-aght, that Is to say, al-mon-heed—to wit, the re gard or observation of all the moones, and hence is derived the name of al manac.” One of these squared sticks, fit uncertain date, is still preserved in St. John’s College, Cambridge. The Salted Potatoes TO-DAY’S COMPLETE SHORT STORY B Y the dim glimmer of a lamp the woman could see the stranger’s face. It was bloated frofn drink and twitched as a result of the man s dissipations. He sat down at the open fireplace and began to talk to little. Pierre, the son of the woman who was busily peeling potatoes for supper. [Tie stranger told the child that he had come from very far away, that he was a peddler, and that having sold out his entire stock he was going to the city for more. The boy listened attentively. The woman was expecting her husband, who had gone to a nearby town In the morn ing She worried about his safety, though he whb familiar with every mountain path. At last she heard his steps and rushed out to greet him. “Look Here, Then." “I am so glad that you are back,” she cried. "It must be awful in the mountains to-night.” • ‘Well, I won’t deny it feels better in here,” replied the husband, in a strong, cheerful voice. Turning around he saw t.he stranger at the fireplace. His wife explained his presence, speak ing in the peasant dialect which the man might not understand. "Well,” the husband addressed the man, "I bet you prefer a cozy fire to tramping in the snow." The stranger agreed in a shallow voice. "How much did you get for the sheep?" Julie asked. ’More than I expected, dear," he said with a smile. "I got two hundred and twenty-five dollars in gold." "Oh, you are fooling me.” "Look here, then," he replied, and pulled out his heavy leather purse from which he counted the money. The stranger watched him with an intense expression in his eyes. The husband put his purse back in his pocket. Then he went to the cowshed, %hile Julie opened the heavy trapdoor in the floor and went dowr% into the cellar to get some wine. Alone in the room, the stranger be gan to raise the lid of the soup pot and smell the odor of the ingredients. Little Pierre, who followed all the movements of the stranger, suddenly cried: "What was that you threw on the po tatoes?” Look Out for Him! "I—I didn’t throw anything on them." "Oh, yes, you did. I saw it myself. You took something from your pocket and threw it on the potatoes. It looked like salt.” "Well, perhaps it was a little salt.” Julie then brought a big pitcher of wine, and the husband returning from the stable remarked: "Come on, comrade; let us have a glass of wine to start with.” While the two men were drinking Julie put Halt into the soup. As she was about to put some on the potatoes, Pierre whispered into her ear: "You need not put salt on the potatoes, for the funny, strange man has al ready put salt on them.” "Sait?" cried the mother In surprise, "Yes; he took something from his pocket and threw it into the pot. I know he did, though he says he didn’t.** Then she called her husband aside and whispered to him. "Look out for that man. The little one has seen him throw something on the potatoes. Perhaps U is poison. He knows we have all the money in the house.” The husband whistled, softly between his teeth, which was his manner of ex pressing violent emotion. Then they all sat around the table. For a while nothing was heard but the rattling of spoons against the soup plates. When the soup had been eaten Julie carried in the steaming potatoes and again filled the plates. Sitting next to Pierre the mother pressed her knee against her son’s to remind him that he must not eat anything until the stranger had eaten first. The man stuck hfn fork into them, but did not eat. ' "What," asked the husband, "you don’t want any potatoes? And they look so appetizing. I never had a finer crop than this lot.” v “They do look tempting.” the man said, "but I ate too much poop and can not get another mouthful down.” The husband tried to persuade him. The man appeared to give in,‘cut a potato to pieces and carried it to his lips, but again declared that he could not eat it. Husband Gets Gun. "Well,” said the husband, "I know' something that will give you an appe tite. You like a good glass of wine and 1 will mix you an appetizer you have not tasted the like of before.” "Well, I never refuse a drink, so I am with you there.” The husband went over to the fire place and seemed to look for something in the corner. Suddenly his guest looked into the barrel of a rifle. "Dotj’* move an inch. You have tried to play some scoundrelly trick and now' we will give you a taste of your own medicine. Eat you> potatoes or I shoot!” "You had better chase him out of the house,” suggested Julie. "Don’t mix yourself up in this, Julie; I have no pity for a poisoner. Take the little one out into the stable and? don’t come back until I call you.” "No, stay here! Save me! Have pity on me!” cried the stranger. But the mother and -child fled from the room. "Have pity on me,” the man pleaded. "I shall count ten. When I say ten I shoot. One—two—three--” The stranger howled in despair. Then he ate half of the potatoes on his plate. Suddenly his eyes became fixed, he leaped from his chair and fell to the floor dead. Two Boys and a Cigarette By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX T WO bright little boys named Harry and Will • Were just the same size and the same age, until One day in their travels it chanced that they met A queer little creature, surnarned Cigarette. This queer little creature made friends with the boys, And told them a story of masculine joys He held for their sharing. "I tell you,” quoth he, "The way to be manly and big is through me.” Will listened and yielded, but Harry held out, ‘I think your assertions are open to doubt,” He said, "And, besides, I’m afraid I’d be sick.” "Afraid!” echaed Will. "Oh, you cowardly stick! Well, I’m not afraid; look ahere!” as he spoke, He blew' out a halo of Cigarette, smoke. * . Five years from that meeting I saw them again. The time had arrived when fhey both should be men. But strangely enough, although Har ry boy stood As tall and as strong as a tree in the wood.
