MRS. J. NEWTON SMITH’S
FAMILY TREE.
ES. SMITH had
i? been a Newton,
( 4 and wished had always that
k IHI k she could have
retained her
l v name after mar¬
riage and done
away altogeth¬
er with tho very
common cogno¬
- i ?/ ./ the band, men busy of her but years hus¬ in
/ -
which came
while she was housekeeper and moth¬
er of four sturdy children, it seemed
to make little difference what her
name was. In fact, she had all she
could do to answer to the name
“mother.”
But Mr. Smith’s business as a
grocer prospered, and after three
children were married, leaving only
Beatrice, a maiden of fifteen, at home,
Mrs. Smith found time to attend to
social duties and cultivate the ambi¬
tious of her youth.
A new house, with “grounds,” was
her first aspiration; and, as her hus¬
band shared this desire, they found
themselves established in due time on
a trolley line just far enough outside
the city to be what the grocer called
“unmixed.”
Mrs. Smith was a woman of good
taste, and used money wisely. Hence
a smooth lawn, (lowering shrubs and !
vines soon appeared around the pretty i
home, which in had addition sheltered to the the great farmhouse elms j
-
which had formerly occupied the site, j
It was while she was furnishing thatj j
and beautifying at her leisure
Mrs. Smith received a letter from Bos-:
tou asking for frets concerning herself
and her father’s family. A certain
Miss Agues Newton was the writer,
and she informed Mrs. Smith that she
was compiling a “Newton book” in
which the family—-root, trunk and
branches--was to be classified and ar
ranged. She had just “discovered”
Mrs. Smith, and hence informed her
at considerable length of the impor
tanco of her work and the extent of
the family circle.
The names of prominent people
that Miss Agnes Newton specified as
in the family connectionn opened be
fore Mrs. Smith a new world of rela
tionsliip.
“Why, John, it is perfectly amaz
ingi” she began at the tea-table, “I
am second cousin to the member of
Congress from the first district—the
Hon Dillon Newton; and Doctor
Stark’s wife, of the Church Herald, is
my first cousin; and that rich Herein
way of Groldham married my mother’s
cousin—-that makes her my second,
doesn’t West—well, it? The she mentions Newtons judges that went- and j
professors and ministers—I don’t
know what all! And, John.” here an
impressive finger was lifted, “we’re
descended from the same line as (Sir
Isaac. Newton. What do you think of
that?”
“H’m! let’s see. Sir Isaac descended
from Eve, and both of ’em had some¬
thing to do with an apple, didn’t
they?”
A glance from his wife warned Mr.
Smith that levity would not he tole¬
rated, and he quickly added, “I don’t
cava much for such things, hat if they
want my opinion of the Newtons, I
know one that I can give an A number
one recommend.”
“Don’t be foolish John,” she re¬
sponded, somewhat! mollified, “It
really means a- great deal to find that
one ’belongs to a superior family.
Father was careless about correspond¬
ing with his relatives, and they were
.scattered all over the country before
1 was old enough to know them. For
the sake of the children, I’m very glad
some one has'had interest enough to
collect the records.”
Mrs. Bmith had taken on new dignity
since reading her letter, and now sat
very erect, handlingher knife and fork
with an air which greatly amused her
husband. He leaned back and laughed
with rare enjoyment.
“You’ll do, Judith. I’ll risk you
with any of ’em. Too bad there isn’t
a Smith tree, but we’d need a regular
banian—room for au army, you know.
But aren’t you afraid these aristocrats
will look down on a grocer’s wife?”
“Not if they’re true Newtons,” re
sponded his wife, warmly. 4 ( Miss
Agnes Newtou writes that loyalty is a
peculiar characteristic of the race.
She says I will* find that these new
relatives are true to the last degree of

—it will be such an advantage for
Beatrice to know them.”
Beatrice was a lively, red-cheeked
girl, perfectly satisfied to be a Smith,
but she dimpled becomingly in re¬
sponse to her mother’s prophecy. *
“I’ll have to practise my music bet¬
ter if I’m going among grand people,”
she said, and thou wondered why her
father chuckled so absurdly.
There was one drop of bitterness in
Mrs. Smith’s cup. Ju3t over the
boundary wall on the north side of her
beautiful home was a little cottage full
of children. There were six under
twelve years—bright-faced, rollicking
boys and girls, ali intensely interested
in watching every improvement on the
Smith estate.
If she was out overseeing the ar¬
rangement of foliage plants in “de¬
signs” on tho lawn, there was sure to
be a row of smiling faces visible over
the will, the baby being held in posi¬
tion by his oldest sister. If she wen-t
out to water the flowers she would be
greeted by a cheerful “Hullo! we
thought you’d better give’em a drink!”
pantry faced the north, and while
concocting dainties for her table she
would often look up to find several
pairs of blue and brown eyes regard
mg her steadily. One glance from her
was enough to bring smiles to every
face, and a joyful “Hullo!”
“Now, mother,let megive them some
giugersnaps.” Beatrice would s^y,
and several times she had had - the
pleasure of distributing the fresh,
crisp cakes to a keenly appreciative
company.
But Mrs. Smith frowned upon these
friendly overtures: “They’ll be in the
garden over everything, Beatrice.
How would you like to have them
‘hullo’at you when your young friends
are out from the city?”
“I wouldn’t mind. Their faces are
always clean, and we’re real good
friends.”
“But they’re already making free
with the carriage-drive, and if you
pet them they’ll become nuisances.”
As the summer advanced, Mrs. J.
Newton Smith, as her cards were now
engraved, installed a stout Swedish
woman in her kitchen and gave a series
of afternoon teas, and ladies who
drove out to them from the city were
charmed with her home and liospi
tality. If Sir Isaac discovered the
attraction of gravitation, this far-away
kinswoman knew how to exercise a
social attraction toward which certain
eminently respectable aud desirable
people gravitated.
She even ventured, with a little as
sistance from Miss Agnes, the his
t-orian, to reveal herself to the great
Doctor Stark’s wife, who was sum
moving at the nearest resort. When
that lady returned her call, perhaps
Mrs. Smith was as happy as a woman
of moderate ambition can hope to be.
Mrs. Stark, in return, was delighted
with her new relative, with sunny, un¬
spoiled Beatrice—whose playing was
unusually poor that day—and con¬
cluded her visit with an urgent invi¬
tation for the family to come to Phila¬
delphia at the earliest opportunity.
“There, John,” Mrs. Smith said to
her husband, “you must admit that it
pays to have a family true, for I never
would have known my cousin, Mrs.
Stark, if it had not been for the rec¬
ords. She thinks a great deal of an¬
cestry and heredity.”

piazza, at sunset, where Mrs. Bmith

triumphs. so,” husband

“The only thing to
mar tho afternoon was while we were
on the lawn. The north wall was alive
with Higginses as soon as we reached
the arbor, and actually, John—now
don’t laugh!—-they said, ‘Hullo!’ to
Mrs. Dr. Stark.”
Mr. Smith was already laughing too
heartily to check himself at once, and
Beatrice hid her rosy face to conceal
her merriment.
“I’m sure!” ejaculated Mrs. Smith,
“what you can see that is laughable
or even tolerable in those grinning
young ones is a mystery to me- Some¬
thing must be done. Nextycar I mean
to have a wall ten feet high between
us.”
“It's a regular case of—what’s-his
name—Mordecai, over again, isn’t it?”
said her husband, wiping his eyes.
“And how did Mrs Stark express her
horror?”
After a moment’s hesitation Mrs.
Smith responded, adapt “Well, herself I suppose to all

thought I should-”
“But you didn’t—you never do, and
I think shfe’s a sensible woman.
Beally, she’s ’way up the tree in my
estimation. I shouldn’t worry about
the Higginses. Their father seems a
nice sort of man—he works iu the
machine shops and we often ride out
together. Had a bottle of some kind
of tonic for his wife to-night—said
she was all worn out this summer.”
“I should think she would be,”
was the low response.
The next day Mrs. Smith received
another letter from Miss Agnes New¬
ton, in which she wrote, “I think I
have discovered a now relative who
must ha living near you. Her maiden
name is Higgins; she was Sarah New¬
ton, from Kansas. If I trace her cor¬
rectly she is granddaughter of James,
1, daughter of Henry, 2, and Henry,
2, was your father’s (Orlando, 4)
brother. Can you help me at this
point?” Smith could
No;’ Mrs. -T. Newton
not! She was simply overwhelmed.
Down went the wall ten feet high,
and down went her exultation over
the Newtons iu general.
“My cousin!” she murmured,
“Yes, father bad a brother Henry out
West, He used to hear from him
about once in five years. That ao
counts for the strange resera-— O
dear! dear! I’ll never tell John,
He would make life a burden; Why
should Agues Newton write me all the
disagreeable discoveries she makes?”
Hiding her letter, she sat down
beside the window farthest from the
Higgins cottage and wrestled with her
chagrin. To yield was inevitable —
her conscience made that clear—but
how to do so gracefully was the ques
t-iou. Like many other problems,
this was unexpectedly solved. She
heard the back door thrown open
suddenly, and as she started lo her
feet a wide-eyed, panting child ap

“O Mis’
“mamma won’t speak, an’ she’s all
still! Trndie says won’t you please
come over?”
Mrs. Smith recognized the second
Higgins child, seized a. bottle of cam
phor, called Beatrice, and hurried af
ter her little guide. Four weepiug
! infants met her at the door, while
Trundie was applying water to her
mother’s white face.
“Is she dead?” whispered the lerri
I fled child.
I “No, no, dear, only in a faint.”
I With quick and skilful movements
Mrs. Smith. applied restoratives.
Very soon the weary eyes unclosed,
; and color came again to lip and cheek.
“Why, Mrs. Smith, did they
you?” she whispered. “There!
there! don’t darlings!” With the
first intimation of consciousness
children had pressed forward,
to reach her.
“Don’t you worry!” commanded
Mrs. Smith, “Now, children, Bea
trice is in the garden, and you can all
go over and she will give you some
cookies. I’ll stay with your mother.”
Four of them tiled out on tiptoes,
but Trudie stayed until her mother
was in bed. Then she took the baby
and followed—a look of grave re
sponsibility on her young face.
Mrs. Higgins looked wistfully at
her neighbor. “I don’t see why
gave out so, I’m sure,” she said,
i . but my ironing was heavy, and I’ve
been so miserable this summer. It
seemed as if I was.going to die. and I
didn’t care much if I did. Were you
ever so wicked? But I’m sorry to
trouble you; I’ll soon be up again.”
As she smiled Mrs. Smith saw
marked resemblance to her own sis¬
ter, Louiso, which Beatrice
noticed.
All artificial barriers fell at that in
stant. aud leaning over the bed, Mrs.
Smith almost sobbed, “You’re
wicked, and you mustn’t work so hard
any more. You don’t trouble me.
I’m going to take cave of you, for I’m
your own cousin, Judith Newton. I’ve
just found it out!”
The pale little woman heaved a
long, long sigh, lifted her arms, and
clasped them around Mrs. Smith’s
neck: “Oh, I’ve known it ever since
I moved here! You look enough like
my lather to be his own daughter,
and we knew you married a Smith,
I’ve been so hungry to get near you,
but I didn’t dare to speak first.” ^
Tho little house was very still, and
nobody listened to the low murmur
of voices as the women talked on
and on.
That evening the stout Swedish
woman was transferred to the Higgins
kitchen, where her broad face flowered
into smiles, since she was one of the
rare mortals who prefer “a family
where there are children.”
Mrs. Smith told her story also that
evening, and her husband wiped his
eyes aud cleared his throat vigorously
as she described the finding of Cousin
<3 ara j,
“I won’t go back on the family
tree, John, but I’ve been so wicked
and puffed up over it—that’s the
trouble!” she confessed. “And here
at my very door was Cousin Sarah,

she didn’t dare speak—oh, I
forgive myself! And those children

must have them over here while she’s

Experiments With Grape*.
Iu my experiments with grapes, I
have adopted a new system of training,
or, rather, have utilized a very old
Italian method. This is to grow the
end of the vine to a stake and then cut¬
back to three or four buds iu tho fall
of the first year. Again, iu the. fall
of the second year, I cut back to five
feet, or perhaps six feet, according to
variety. The following spring I rub
off all the buds except five or six at
the top, and, ever after, I cut back all
the canes at the top to three or four
buds.
This cuffing back every year will
soon form a head that will furnish all
the canes necessary for all the fruit
the vine ought to carry. This method,
when well established, gives the vine
the appearance of a weeping willow.
It has many advantages over other
methods, among which are the follow¬
ing: It makes pruning very simple;
the fruit is grown where the sap pres¬
sure is the greatest, which occurs at
tho top, hence we secure better and
larger l'ruit; the fruit is more easily
gathered and less subject to damage
from wind storms, because the canes
which hang down on the windward
side form a buffer that protects the
other side, and hence more vines can
be planted on the same ground.
Some growers may think that such
training as is outlined above would
not l'mnish as much fruit: out, in my
expert: ice, it will enable as much
fruit to grow as any vine ought to
carry if expected to ripen well. Last
fall I gathered twenty pounds of
grape3 from a four-yeat-old vine. An¬
other advantage of this method of
training I might mention is that, in a
few years, the main stock will have
become so strong that it will support
itself, and such vines are much mor*
conveniently sprayed.—N. B. White

The Plan of Double Crops.
When one has a large garden it will
save much hand labor to have the
vegetables in rows, which will admit
of working among them with the horse
and horse hoe. But there are those
who have to be economical of space,
aud find the problem to be, how can
we grow as many varieties as we want,
in quantities sufficient for family us;?
Here is opportunity for a little plan¬
ning. \Ye have seen tomato plants
set between or in the rows of early
peas so that they occupied the ground
when the pea vines came off. We
have seen lettuce growing between
rows of beans, aud removed before
the beans are picked. It is a common
thing to grow from three to five rows
of onions or early beets between two
rows of the large late celery, and
squashes or pumpkins in the corn or
potato field are often productive with¬
out seeming to reduce the yield of the
main crop, Tomatoes staked or
trained to a trellis require much less
room than when allowed to sprawl
about, and appear to yield abun¬
dantly if on the south side of a fence
or wall.
In short, there are many of these
methods tried by those who economize
land, and some of them claim to save
labor by it, for although they must
be all werked clean by hand labor,
they think it does not cost more than
horse labor would if the crops covered
as much more ground as they would
in rows three feet apart, Where
squashes are grown in hills eight feet
apart there is much ground to work
over for the one crop, and often other
crops are grown between the rows.
The method of double cropping re¬
quires heavy manuring, but where it
is systematically done they required strive to
put the manure and labor for
two acres under the spread-out plan
into one acre, and strive to grow on
that one aero as much as others would
grow upon two acres. Certainly the
second crop does not draw any more
fertility from the soil, or rob the first
crop of manure or moisture needed
for its growth, any more thau the crop
of weeds that we too often see in some
gardens, while it looks much better
and seems to be more profitable. Try
this plan in your little garden.—Ameri

Lenten frocks of purple and heli

made for the consistent and conscien¬

mercial Advertiser. Simplicity and
demureness characterize these gowns
as a rule, and the clinging, graceful,
soft fabrics, such as nun’s veiling,
cashmere and canvas are chosen rather
than the more aggressive and worldly
cloths or rustling materials. One good
soul whose Lenten duties take varied
forms has what she calls her “hospital
dress.” This she wears to readings
and recitals and lectures on Greek art
and psychological phenomena, as well
as to the wards where the children
wait her coming as eagerly as flowers
long for the sun. “X don’t believe in
the old-time philanthropist in a little

this Lent lily.
