These gentlemen cannot be too forcibly reminded of the fact that they are. after all. only the creatures of the people They are drawing the people's money—that is. all the money they draw legitimately comes from the people—and to them they are beholden for their official past, present and future. They are in a literal sense "hired men. ' and if they are to continue to eat at the first table with the family they must cut out evil amociati ns and cultivate good manners —Fort Wayne News.

The brook or running stream of natural outdoor water gives a variety of chances for the rnau who wishes to live his life aright. The brook can be converted, w.tnout being dlverte>l, into a swiuun.ug pool fur boys by building a darn at t_e point where the banks do a little extra shelving and tiud to form a natural basin. The bottom should lie spaded out and made more of a reservoir in its capacity aud shape. The dam itself can be made by a family of boys at the cost of the lumber and ua.ls involved. The embankments are sodded. The sides of the spillway are made of wooden posts driven Into the ground and boarded I up. This makes a box up affair, or sher two boxes, one on each side of the stream. These boxes are Ailed | with sand, rocks and sods to make a solid cubic piece of resistance. The ! sodded embankments run across the valley or depression of the brook hollow to the higher ground.

The water flows over the top of the spillway when It is closed, and by raising the gate the pond can be emptied or reduced to the normal level of the brook. —Country 1 Life In America b.erhritrd fa* m Has, First Old Lady—He was a bad char- ! acter. but I believe be repented at !a«t.

I MISTAKEN U n identityl By FRANK H. SWEET S Copyright. IK*. by Frat.b H, Sweet « The train stopped only a few moments. but the conductor and a porter bustled out. with deference In their every movement, and a«sl»t«*l the one lady into the car with much bowlug. The train was already In action again when Enos stumble I brrathh*>«ly up the steim ami sought to enter the car. The conductor was standing inside the door. •Tills is a parlor car. sir.” be said. "Oh. that's all right." Enos answers* quickly. "Extra. 1 s’pose?" ••of course; but 1 doubt if there's any un tccnpled space. Porter!" The car attendant was just returning from the lady's chair. He stopped ta-jnlringly. dusting cloth la band. "Have you any spare Beats?” "Just oue. sab, down t'other end." “Very well. Give It to this gvntlaman." The conductor turned as he spoke and preceded him a few paces down the car. ti. n stitpfted and bent over the chair of a lady. As he passed, Euoa leaned toward her with a diffident "Hello. Martha." but the Increasing noise of the train drown**! bis voice, am! be stumbled on with crimsoning face. The lady had not even perceived him. Enos followed the porter through the car. hit In band, with a feeling that he was intruding into some one's drawing room. Passengers were seated or reclining In various attitudes—some reading. some talking, but most of them with their attention Axel uj-on the chair over which the conductor was leaning. Enos had never l*en In a drawing room car before, but even ami I all this elegance and among these strangers be perceived that Martha was' understood awl appreciated letter than be had understood and appreciated her j himself. He beard a subdued "Wlio Is she?" from one «ide and a "Don't know, but evidently a son-eltody," from the other. He turned his .-hair so that he conld watch her and still not be especially conspicuous. The conductor or porter was at her chair every few minute* trying to devise new means for her comfort Curtains were drawn or raised, a ventilator o>*-ued to let in more air, the window dosed to keep out a draft. Even the paper boy seemed to catch the infection, for be was continually leaving periodicals for tier to examine at her leisure. Enos watched her with mingled feelings of surprise and pleasure and perhaps with some depression. Heretofore he bad looked upon her as in away belonging to him. Now. with the entire! car paying her homage, be wondered at his audacity. He wished that be bad been boh! enough to ask straight out to be her escort on this little trip instead of watching over her. as he was. from a distance. He wished that be bad pressed bis suit more assiduously aud marveled at his presumption in pressing it as strongly as be bad. The conductor came through the car. aud a man In the next chair reached out and touched bis arm. “Can you tell me who she is?" he asked iu a low voice. •‘The car seems to be gvtting curious over so much attention.” The conductor answered In a voice equally low, but Enos caught the words. "She's Mrs. Roche, wife of Cattle King Roche, you know. He's making a deal for our railroad. That's why our management is anxious to shaw him attention. We received notice that she would take our train at a certain point and for us to show her all the courtesy in our power. Seems a very niee little woman, but a little, just a little, too plea.-ed with everything. Gives one an impression that she hasn't traveled much. Rut I have beard that Roche made bis mvney very suddenly, so perhaps the attention is a little overwhelming." Eno* b.nl turned away before this and was again watching Martha. He bad beard that a man of the name of Rxbe was negotiating for the railroad, and be naw allowed bls glance to wander up the car. finally fixing upon a richly dressed woman In the chair beyond Martha a» tbs oue who was a little overwhelmed by attention. She did look self conscious and. be thought, just a little sup-ercii'ous too. As they it>xi upon the platform at their destination a half hour later watching the trail glide away Martha saw Enos turn toward her, not slowly and diffidently, as was bis wont, but with head erect nnd both bauds out. And somehow after the exjierlence on the tram it dll not seem strange, but rather a natural sequence. To have seen him awkawrd aud ill at ease just then would have been a shock. It was so much nicer for men to be easy aud courteous, and Enos was king among men. She put her bands into bls naturally. Impulsively. "k)b. Enos. ’ she breathed, "wasn't it beautiful? I never imag.ued it could be so nice in a train. Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, I don’t reckon I knew." be acknowledge! frankly. "I was never in one of these parlor cars before, and it Isn’t so awfully nice In one of the other* whet: it's crowded with folks. But «ay. Martha.” still holding her ban is and allowing something to come Into his voice which sbe had never beard there before, but which brought a sift color to her cheeks, "you Imbed awfully pretty In those nice cl >th ». the prettiest 1 have seen. There wasn't a wu.xm in the car who could touch

I didn't intend to i be so hasty and Inconsiderate, but tb it | ride seems to have stirred me all up | somehow. But don't you fee! upset, i Martha. Just take all the time you ■ want to t 2lt over, dear." The flush deepeue*!. I>.d she bear aright? Had that l.i*t won! reallycome from Enos’ slow in>s? "I don't need any time to think it over. Enow." she answere*! in a low voice, but firmly. "I do love you." She might have added that this au swer bad b eu ready aiai waiting for him more thin ten year*. "No; do you really. Martha?" He made au in>; ulsive movement, but was suddenly conscious that the plat form was well tilled with people and that some of them were looking at him curiously. “I'll get a carriage for you. dear." be said hurriedly, “and—and I guess, if you d_>u't mind. I'll ride along. I tier er bare ridden with you yet—not right clo*e by. era know.” Wh*-u the carriage was procured and ' he bad helped her In. almost timidly > she looked up into IL* face. “I don't believe that I ever shall fc-t J get that train ride. Enos." she said. “Nor 1." heartily. •’Sitting then | watching you aud «eeing all the m*-i round made me hasty and iucoushler | ate. But I'm glad of it now. I suppose | it Right have been a 1 >ng time before I felt I'd a right to speak." She caught her breath suddenly, ber face paling. “Oh. Enos." she whispered. "I—l nev- I er paid them. You told me al>out get- ] ting a ticket, but I was late, aud they hurried me to the car and were so uic* ] to me that i—l never thought about paying. What shall I do? And they sere so awfully nice too." He looked pnzzled. “It does seem sort of funny," be ac-1 knawlxlged. ' Generally they're pretty particular about pay. I wonder they didn't ask" “They didn't want to hurt my feel I Ing*. Enos. They were awfully nice, but I'm so asliumed." He considered a moment. "You—we don’t want to be beboldes to them any," he said wartaly. "I reck- { on I'd better meet that same train tomorrow and settle with the conductor." “If only you would." in a-relieved voice. * So the next day Enos was at the station. and when the [*olite conductor rra- hed tbe platform be was the first to accost him. A few minutes an] the puzxlcd look left bls face, and presently be turned away chuckling. But he only told Martha that there bad lieen a mistake and that tbe conductor had accepted tbe money and i asked to be remem! cred to ber. trfioom* or Space. When Henry Ward Beecher was on 1 trip to tbe far west many years ago be was visited at bis hotel in a little | mining town by a local celebrity, a j man noted as n hunter and scout, and j tl:» great preacher was especially cordial to him.

"1 marvr 1 at tbe warmth of your greeting to that man." he said. “Wbyr "Didn't you notice bls eyes—how re- I markably close together they were’ I That is a bad sign." “Not In bls case.” <u»ld Mr. Beecher “Didn't you olxerve bis nose?
