Be hind.the yarn muffler his face wore an expression of disappointment and wounded pride, and It was evident that the live miles of line sleighing before him on this keen, beautiful night held no charms. Disconsolate ho looked and disconsolate lie felt, for had he not Just been scorned by the lady of Ids heart? Little had he thought when he drove Susannah Peters out to Johnson’s gold en wedding that she would desert him, and for his bitterest rival, Ed Sparks, and yet— Joel had danced often with the pret ty, golden haired Susannah. She, hap pily conscious of her new blue ribbons and pink cheeks, had beamed upon him, dancing Ids heart quite out of him and himself into the brave resolve to speak of his love on the homeward drive, for, although Joel had “ kept company” with Susannah for six months, lie had always lacked the courage to “ask her” point blank. Now, Ed Sparks, on the other hand, lacked not the courage, but rather had pressed bis suit, even when Susannah had clearly snubbed him. Perhaps it was done only to nettle the hesitating Joel; perhaps Susannah was really impressed by Ed's brand new suit of store clothes, scarlet tie and glittering cuff buttons and studs. At any rate, when the dancing was done and the big dining room was thrown open it was Ed Sparks who stepped quickly forward and \handed” Susannah to the delectable feast, and it was Ed Sparks who tilled her glass with Aunt Marcy Johnson’s best blackberry wine when the health of host and hostess was drunk. And all the while Joel Herrick, his heart eaten out with jeal ousy, tried to look gay as he served an other and less favored damsel. A fter supper goodbys were said, the stone bottles were tilled with hot water in anticipation of long rides through the cold night, the women bundled each other up in tippet and shawl, while the men harnessed the horses. To be sure. Joel had but one horse to harness, yet the crafty Ed managed to reach the house door first with his prancing young horses and a new, fancy sleigh. Susannah gave one sw ift glance from Ed's dashing turn out to staid Bay Charley and the old fashioned cutter. Vaguely she heard a chorus of feminine “oil’s” and “ah's,” and Joel's fate was sealed. She sprang into Ed’s sleigh, the envy of every other girl on the great porch. All this furnished anything but pleasant thoughts for Joel as be drove home alone, and when he realized that at this moment Ed's arm might be encircling the slender waist of Susan nah he fairly groaned in spirit. Per haps the bold fellow might even dare to kiss her. Joel grasped his whip tightly, and Bay Charley sprang for ward in surprise. Two miles had been covered, and he reached a point where the road wound through a patch of woodland. The trees stood gaunt, strange and black against the dazzling snow. Now and then a branch snapped with the cold, sounding like the report of a pistol on the still moonlight. Joel commenced to whistle from sheer loneliness. Then suddenly the sound died on his lips. In astonishment lie saw a woman walk ing toward him. Nearer and nearer they came together. More and more familiar became the outlines of that feminine figure. As he slowed up It shrank back against a tree. “ Why, Susannah!” “Oh, Joel, I’m so glad it’s you!” There were tears In her voice. But Joel remembered tlie slights, the humiliation recently put upon him, and hardened his heart and his voice. “Well. Miss Peters, if you are goln’ home alone I shall be pleased to take you under my care.” His tone was not Inviting, but the shivering Susannah quickly climbed to his side. Joel touched up Bay Charley, but for some time remained silent. Now and then he glanced at the little figure crouched at his side, shaking with sobs and cold together. Joel’s heart reproached him, and he finally remarked; “ Seems to me you ain't actin’ right tonight. First you take up with a no recount sort of fellow like Ed Sparks; then you go walkin’ alone at this time of night. Where’s Ed, an’ what does he mean, leavin' you all alone like this? If he ain’t treated you right. I’ll take him out an’ horsewhip him.” Susannah laid her hand appealingly on Joel’s arm. “I’ve been mean to you, Joel, but— but this ain't Ed's fault. I—I—fell out!” Joel snorted incredulously. above old man Judkin’s place, an* one of those big wild geese was lyin' In the road, we not seeln' It because of Its bein' all white. It just took an* flew right up in the horses' faces. They’re spirity, you know, an’ won't stand much, an'—an’ \ —this very softly and slyly—“Ed ain’t a driver like you. He ain't strong. They ran like wild, an’ he had to stand up to hold ’em. An’ when we turned the corner by the old apple tree the sleigh went into a post, toppled over an’—I—I fell out. An’ when I got up I saw tlie sleigh swing in’ from side to side an’ Ed stnndin’ up in’ bangin' on to the reins.” Her recital came to a sudden and un- llgnlfied end ns she giggled at the recollection of Iter admirer’s plight. She tried to smother the giggle In the sleeve of Joel's great rough coat and then continued: “There hasn’t been a soul along until you came. I was scart to death. Everything was so white an* still, an* In the woods the moon was lookin’ at me through the dark branches of the trees for all the world like a queer face. I—I don’t believe 1 could have stood it much longer.” By this time Joel was chuckling over his rival’s predicament, and Susannah sat up in sudden dismay. “ But you won’t tell anybody, will you. Joel? The whole town’ll be laugh in' at mo.” Joel turned serious on the instant. “ No, they won’t laugh at you. If they do, they'll have to answer to me. Be sides, the joke ain’t on you. It’s on Ed.” But just at this time Ed was having fresh troubles of his own. Careening, swaying, he drew near Ilufllesburg at a racing gait, utterly unconscious that Susannah was no longer dinging to the seat before which lie still stood, tugging at the reins. Occasionally he threw an encouraging word over his shoulder or told her how brave she was not to scream and add to their danger. The horses would soon run themselves out, and the road before them was clear. But, alas, Just as he turned into the town a sudden obstacle appeared in their track—Farmer Schneider's big sleigh, laden with the rosy cheeked Mrs. Schneider and three equally rosy daughters! At Ed's warning shout Schneider drew his placid white mare to one side, but the flying team caught the rear of Schneider’s sleigh, and a chorus of feminine shrieks was w a ft ed to the fleeing Ed. The drift was deep, and the five Schneiders, when disentangled, found themselves unin jured, but nevertheless wrathful at the reckless driver. In the meantime Ed had reached the center of the town, and his horses, ex hausted and steaming, finally respond ed to the rein. With a feeling of in tense relief Ed turned to his compan ion. Consternation seized him. Where was Susannah? Caught in the mael- strom of Schneiders? No, his cutter had not been injured in the collision. He remembered with horror that she had not spoken since the horses first began their mad run. What if she had been back there in the woods all this time, frozen, perhaps attacked by tramps? Ed was too frightened to be logical. With a curse he turned his fagged horses back into the road and whipped them on at a mad gait. Again he passed the Schneider family, and as the farmer once more pulled out of his way, this time move successfully, his goodwife murmured: “ I did not think Marcy Johnson’s wine was so strong as that.” H a lf a mile farther he met Joel and stopped at the latter’s vigorous hail. \Good evenin', Ed,” said Joel, with a cheerful smile for his discomfited rival. “ Are you goin' to look for Su sannah? She’s here, safe in my sleigh, an* you can just bet she ain’t goin' to make such a mistake again.” Ed ignored the complacent Joel and, making his best bow—that is, the best he could make while trying to hold the two astonished aiul trembling horses— said: “ I’m awful sorry I had such an acci dent, Miss Peters; but if you aren’t hurt it don’t matter so much, an’ I hope you’ll let me see you safe home.” Susannah choked back a persistent giggle and clung to Joel's arm. “ You see, Mr. Sparks—Mr. Herrick— I mean Joel—an’ I—we—I’m just as much obliged”— Joel took up her faltering explana tion and made it clear. “I don’t mind tellin’ you, Mr, Sparks, that hereafter Susannah an' I’ll do our sleighin’ together for all time, but if you want a recommenda tion to any other girl Susannah she’ll give it, an’ we won't mention this here little affair.\ And Mr. Sparks, with a dignified up lifting of his fur cap and a few unin telligible words, whipped up his horses, swung around in the road and raced back to town.

H o w Y o n M a y M awlly T e l l T h e m A p a r t b y T h e i r M a r k i n g s . In the muskellunge the upper half of cheek and gill cover is scaled, the lower half being naked. The pike has a gill cover sealed like the 'lunge’s, but the entire check is scaled. The eastern and grass pickerel have check and gill covers scaled all over. Hence, if only the upper half of the fish's cheek is scaled, it is a ’ lunge; if the entire cheek and half tlie gill cover show scales, the specimen Is a great northern pike. Young muskellunge are distinctly spotted with blackish on a greenish or grayish ground. The mature fish shows less distinct markings, nlthoiydi they usually are discernible in tlie region of the tall. 1 have, however, seen big, old fish upon which the eye could detect no spot, the general color being gray ish green, with a few dim reflections. Again I have seen fine fish of a nonde script tint, as like that of an old, dry rubber boot as anything I can think of. The young and old. of the great northern pike have the sides marked with oval whitish or yellowish spots several shades lighter than the ground color; hence a fish with spots darker than the ground color is a 'lunge; with lighter spots, a northern pike.—Edwyn Sandys in Outing.

In cue form or another football, the oldest British game, has existed for centuries. Some see it In the game “harpaston,” played by the Greeks, the name of which, they say, by deriva tion, suggests that the ball might be seized and carried into goal. No trace of the game, as now understood, is found outside of Britain, but in Eng land it has flourished for centuries. Shrove Tuesday, in olden times, was the great annual football day, when the fun was fast and furious, shops and bouses being closed for fear of damage and both sexes and all ages taking part. Fitzstephen in his “History of Lon don, 1175 ,” makes the earliest mention of the game in England. He tells us of young men of the city annually go ing into the fields after dinner to play at the well known game of ball on Shrove Tuesday. Traditions of Chester and Derby bear this out, where it was long the custom to do the same, Ches ter's first hall being the head of a Dane.—Pearson’s Weekly. cabbage was a caution. When he bad finished, he laid down his knife and fork with a funny sigh of satisfaction, put one hand on the steward’s shoulder and said: \ ‘Young man, I don’t suppose you care for that at all, but if you had had to eat what I have for the past few months it would taste like a dinner for the gods. It tastes homey V “The ex-president had dined with everybody from the queen down, but that cabbage and corned beef, doubt less reminded him of the time when he was not so well known, but proba bly far happier—when people in St. Louis called him ‘captain* when they spoke to him and bought the wood he carted into town to sell.” d i a m e t e r a t a G l a n c e .

The following incident occurred at an entertainment in a large provincial town; On the programme a certain vo calist was down to sing “The Miner's Dream of Home,” and to add special effect to the song he, having a friend a fireman at the tire station, about three minutes' walk from the hall, ran out and borrowed his top boots. His turn on the programme came around. lie appeared on the stage in all the glory of a blouse, slouch hat, white breechos and the fireman's top boots. His rendering of the song was a great success up to the middle of the second verse, when a commotion was heard at the entrance of the hall. Then a hot and eager fireman forced his way through the audience up to the foot lights and bawled out at the top of his voice: ‘•Bill, you’ve got to come out of them 'ere boots if you value your life. I'm called to a fire!”—London Tit-Bits. womanly organism and the gen eral health is perfectly restored.

At an early stage of married life I was greatly bothered with painful peri ods, also a troublesome drain which rendered me very weak and unfit for work of any kind. I became so thin there was nothing left of me but skin and bone. My husband became alarmed and got me a bottle of ‘ Fa vorite Prescription.* After he saw the wonderful effects o f that one he got me two more, and after I used those up there was no more pain, and I be gan to gain in flesh very rapidly.” \ Favorite Prescription ” makes weak women strong, sick women well.

It is n well known physiological law that the use of a muscle causes an increase In Its size, while neglect causes it to become smaller. The steady use of the same arm in carrying a set of hooks to and from school, the propping of one arm on a table, or the excessive use of one arm or leg and the disuse of the other- each such habit slowly but surely brings about Its own result unless constant effort be made to counter act it. The growing age is more subject than any other to such Influences, but every age is directly and powerfully influenced by any occupation or lmbit which tends to the exclusive- exercise ♦ of certain muscles or to the habitual taking of a certain posture.

It was a warm Sunday morning in church. Fans were fluttering, hymn als flopping, handkerchiefs mopping streaming faces, and the minister thought his audience a tittle lax in at tention. Finally he led up to a rebuke for its lack of consideration for sacred and important things. Said he: “People are prone to attend to the unimportant things of life.” And he gave a few examples to il lustrate his idea. Presently he made his pertinent application. “ Now,” said he, “you are attentive to your own comfort this morning, to the sinful neglect of the holy word. Take no thought for the heat,” he said dramatically, “for you may be dead tomorrow.”—Detroit Free Press. I n f l u e n c e o f C h e s s . If a Scottish scientist is to be be lieved. the people of those countries in which chess is most frequently played are invariably more civilized than those who inhabit countries in Which little attention is paid to this great game.

Others, not ably two species of ophidium, have sound producing apparatus, consisting of small movable hones, which can be made to produce a sharp rattle. The curious “ drumming” made by the Med iterranean fish known as the rnaigre can be heard from a depth of thirty fathoms. T h e B e e ’ ft M a r k e t B a s k e t .

Lord Roberts once found himself the center of a circle of new friends in a London club. There was a very tall gentleman present, who, evidently be lieving himself to shine as a wit, seized every opportunity to raise a laugh at ’the other people's expense. On being introduced to Lord Roberts the wit bent down patronizingly to his lord- ship and remarked: “ I have often heard of you, but”— shading his eyes with one hand as though the famous general, being so small, could be seen only with ditti- culty—“ 1 have never seen you.” To this Lord Roberts promptly re plied: “I have often seen you, sir, but have never heard of you.” 1 T h e S n fost V in c e In n S t o r m . rery one is aware that it is not wise to seek a tree's shelter in a thunder storm; but, if you must take refuge there, then climb to the topmost branches. It has been proved that the upper boughs of trees during a storm would be the safest position, and it is said that birds in the branches are sel dom killed. When the tree is struck by lightning, it is the trunk which, pre sumably from its greater dryness, is a bad conductor and which therefore suffers the most.

The Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks of the Progress that «ias Been Made in the Treatment 01 Chronic Diseases in the Last Forty Years. Very few Doctors, who began their prac tice forty years ago are left to tell the story of the wayt tud methods of those earlier times. The old saddle-bags contained Dover's powder, Calomel, Pink and tienna, the last given to the young to cure worms, and also to give proper religious bent. Bleeding, even to the point of prostration, was an adjunct to the drug remedies. The Allopathic tichool held the fort for many years; it was finally changed and modified by the Homeopathic and Eclectic Schools, and the Galvanic Incubator. Taking all the different schools of med icine, including those called irregulars, the Christian Scientists, Magnetic Healers, Os teopaths have tailed to give ns any surety of perfect diagnosis and treatment of disease. They make lamentable failures as yet, showing their knowledge very imper fect and not to be retied upon. We still have heart disease, sugar diabetes, Bright's disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism, paralysis and all other various ills that seem to baffle the skill of the phys ician to rightly name the disease or perform a cure. First, we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are the result of long years of toil and research, and that deep down in human life the loftiest truths are born. Dr. Butterfield starts out from a different standpoint, basing his knowledge uponi spiritual insight into the causes of you condition and the reasons for your suffer- ing. This spiritual insight is the incentive to all progress and Is the one method by which the right remedies can be used to suit the case. The Doctor has been coining to Penn Yan for eight years, and has cured hundreds of cases that have come to him as a last re sort, and he has cured where all others had failed and hope had gone. He uses vegetable remedies entirely, which are as natural as fruit, in the system. They can be taken by any one, no matter how delicate the stomach. The Doctor cures some of the worst cases of kidney and bladder trouble, enlarged liver ana heart disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism and all other forms of chronic diseases. All are welcome to a free examination. His long experience is worth everything to the chronic invalid. Dr. Butterfield will be at the Knapp House, Penn Yan, N. Y. on Wednesday. Sept. 24 th, 1902 .

The de fendant was acquitted, and the judge laid it down that “when a man kisses n woman against her will she is fully entitled to bite his nose if she so pleases.” “And eat it up, if she has a fancy that way,” added a jocular barrister half aloud.
