INFOBIATIOV OF THE PUBLIC] SCHEDULE IN EFEEC"‘ JANUARY 1ST, 1915 —Subject to Change Without Notice— . H. & N. Limited, train No. 3 will stop at flag stations to lmllgl G.F.& Pass.Agt,, ! By MARY MONROE, (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) For 15 years Miss Martha and Miss Mary had inhabited the big old house on the hill, at the top of the village street, and neither had spoken to the other. And nobody in Grantford had ever learned the cause of their dis- pute. ‘When the only brother died, leaving is little girl, the sisters, then in the lmnd year of their quarrel, had each written, asking John’s executor for the (prlvfluo of caring for the orphaned !njece. So Maud had come to the i home, and from the first she had ac- ' customed herself to the peculiar state ot affairs in that family. It was corvenient to say what you 'llhed to say through the intermedi- ary of a third person, instead of hav- ing to soliloquize. It was when Maud Grant married John Springer, the doctor, that the | wrench came. If Maud had only . known it, the old aunts were so chas- .tened by her approaching departure that she could have made them friends. So Maud went to live in the new house at the bottom of the hill, as Mrs. John Springer; and, though she climbed the hill often, the old ladies were sadly disconsolate at her loss. But after a while Maud did not "climb the hill so often; and then the time came when she did not climb it atall And the two old ladies began to be very busy with knitting and crochet , work, and the balls of yarn rolled all over the room as the busy old fingers , pulled at them. Miss Mary and Miss Martha sat op- ponlte each other in their chairs, their ! fingers working and the needles click- | ing, and, as they worked, they solilo- qulzed “A pink ribbon on the little cap, be- cluse, of course, it is going to be a ! boy." said little Miss Martha. “How glad I am it is going to be a girl,” said Miss Mary. “I love blue ribbons. 1 think a baby girl with a dainty little cap with a blue ribbon on it 18 just the sweetest thing in the world.” “I can't abide blue,” soliloquized Miss Martha. - “I am so glad that Maud’s baby is to be a boy. Charles? Or Ferdinand? My unéle or my fa- ther? I think Ferdinand will sound prettier, and then, it would be a sort of tribute to papa.” “She must be called Dorothy, alfter mamma,” Miss Mary soliloquized. They emphasized their sentiments to callers, and it did not take at all a long time for the news to reach Mrs, John Springer, in the house at the bottom of the hill. “The dear old things!" she said to her husband. “Oh, John, one of them is going to be so dreadfully disap- pointed. Whatever shall we do?” “Well, my dear, they are bringing their own troubles on their own heads,” laughing. “We must just leave them to work out their own problems. Anyway, we shall be happy, whichever way it is, won't we dear?” Maud smiled up at her husband, and he put his arm round her shoul- ders and kissed her. And now the day arrived when the blue and the piak ribbon each re- posed upon its cap, along with little jackets and coats and all the para- phernalia of babydom. And the little malden ladies waited. And the wait proved longer than they had expected. And by and by rumors began to spread about the town, and then a carriage drove swiftly up from the station, and a famous speclalist leaped out and | ran through the room in which the two old ladies sat, waiting. “Dear Lord, save her to me!"” prayed Miss Martha upon her knees. “Thou knowest I want her—we want her.” Little Miss Mary started, for this was the first time in all those years that her sister had betrayed the rec- ognition of her identity. “Martha! Sister!” she said in & trembling voice. And it was Martha's turn to tremble and look afraid, for | she had not dared to hope that the | olive branch, held out, would bear such fruit so soon. The little old ladies looked nt each other, and of a sudden they fell into each other's arms and cried. And as the tears streamed down their cheeks and mingled, they asked each other's forgiveness with sobs and self-re proaches. “I—I—I hope it will be a girl! There!" said little Miss Martha. “No, no! It is going to be a boy. I want it to be a boy!"” answered Miss Mary. And each had gone as far as it was possible to go when she made that admission. There was the sound of hurried foot- steps on the stairs, and Doctor Spring- | Instantly the * er came into the room. two old ladies had selzed him, one by each hand, and their wrinkled old faces were upturned to his. “John! She's doing well?” they both pleaded together. “Well!" cried John Springer. it’s all over. It is—" “A girl!” exclaimed Miss Martha. “A boy!” said little Miss Mary. ‘Well—it's both—,” admitted John Springer, rubbing his hands. “A boy and a girl. Eight pounders. So we'll have use for both your gifts, after all.” And, being a man, he began to dance for joy. And the two maiden aunts, with arms interlinked like schoolgirls, did something that they would never have dreamed of doing in more sober mo- ments. They followed suit WIill Prove It Himself. There is no excuse for using abrupt and inelegant language in accusing a man of deliberate mendacity. Let him go on talking and if he is what you ]thlnk he is he will tell it on himself.

With- out labor none can obtain rest, and “why, | ® HANDLING THE CASH By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY. (€ 1915, by McChy Newspa- (Copyright, i mm(:.(): ure Ne: They had been married six months —George Curtiss and Kitty Cline. All had gone well, when one afternoon Kitty's Aunt Prue came visiting. She hadn’t seen the young wife since her marriage and, after drawing a long breath and getting.a good toe hold, she said: “And now I want to ask about George: “Is he a kind and loving husband?” “Why, Aunt 'Prue, George is just the best man in this world!” was the enthusiastic reply. “How much salary does he get?” “Twenty-five per week.” “And how much do you save per week ?” “Save? Why, anything as yet.” “Then it's wuss than I thought far —far wuss. Who handles the money “Why, George does, of course.” “That's it—that's it! He handles the money and does what he pleases with it. It is no wonder.” “But doesn’t the husband always save the money?” “He does where the wife is an idiot. Lord alive, child, any wife is five times as capable of handling the house money as the husband. We never should have been worth a hun- dred dollars if I hadn't taken the money matter into my own hands.” When the subject was changed the wife found herself thinking it would be very nice to handle the money, but was almost sure the husband would not consent, but he came home with a surprise for her. It happened he had heard that Aunt Prue was at the house that afternoon, and know- ing her ideas on finance he suspected. “Kitty, I've been thinking things over today.” “What things?” “Don’t you think you could salary go further than I do?” “Yes, I do, but—" “Then I'll turn it over to you for the next three months.” “You are so good, George.” “You can run the house and every- thing.” “Why, I surely thought you would object.” “But you see I don't. I have saved $50 in the last six months, though I was keeping it secret. I guess, how- ever, you can heat my record and not try very hard.” “I1 shall surprise you, dearest.” She surprised him all right. As there were only two of them, he had been buying porterhouse steak. For dinner they now had a round, and seeing that she was a tenderfoot the butcher had charged her the same price. The grocer weighed her sugar and butter short, and there was a skimping of potatoes. In two weeks, however, the wife had managed to save $14, and then Aunt Prue came again. “You don’t want to put your money in the bank,” said the old lady. “You send for one of those second-hand sewing machines that are advertised as good as new. You can surely save thirty-five dollars.” “I will.” “A man called at the house yes- terday with stock in a silver mine to sell. It is a stock to be sold only to ministers and widows, but after some coaxing, and after promising never to tell, he let me have fifty dollars’ worth of stock for $15. It will pay dividends of 50 per cent. “But I'll buy the stock for you now, and in two weeks you can pay me for it. Never miss a good thing if you can help it. I would not say any- thimz to George about it if T were you.” During the last month of the three the husband looked so starved and anxious that the wife expected to hear him say any day that he must turn to barke and roots to get enough to fill up on, but he carried the thing through like a patriot. “Well, the twelve weeks are up,” sald the husband one evening. “And I think I can show you that I am a bit of a financier,” was _the proud reply. The sewing machine had been brought over that afternoon, and the husband was led into its presence. “How much?” “Only fitteen dollars.” “I know of three second-hand ma- chines here in town that you can buy at five dollars each, but never mind that.” ‘Here s some silver stock that Aunt Prue bought for me.” “Then she ought to give you your money back, for that swindle was ex- posed years ago.” “Oh, George, have I been swindled ™ “Most surely, but what els “I bought two seashore lots.” “I heard you had and looked them up. They are on the edge of a big New Jersey swamp.” “And—and—" ‘Did you buy half of Lake Erie for melon patch?” “Not quite. I only bought some stock in a Peruvian gold mine.” “l see. Now we will figure up we haven't saved ake my | what you have saved in your twelve weeks.” “Don’t, George—don’t!” she sobbed. “But, you see—" “If you won't, you may call Aunt Prue an idiot.” “As I was going to say—" “And you may handle the house money to the last day of your life!” And George grinned and kissed her, and Aunt Prue hasn't been in the house since. Ancient King a Terror. Mithridates, king of Poutius, is rare- ly wmentioned nowadays, but in the year 88 B. C. he was the terror of the world. He killed his own family, slaughtered seven different kings and their courts, marched through Asia and left everywhere trails of dead. He invaded Greece and there slaughtered nearly half a million suman beings, ther he marched against Rome vlfi awful carnage. In his own army be lost only 85,000 men, but he is thought without contending there can be no to have killed at least twenty times conquest.—Thomas a Kempis. that number of his enemies. - Chiuropractor DR.
