WHEN MY SHIP COTIES IN. K Somewhere, out on the seas railing. Where the wind, dance and spin 1 Beyond the reach of my eager hailing, Over the breakers' din: Out where the dark storm cloud, are lifting. Out where the blinding fog is drifting, Out where the treacherous rand is shifting, My ship is coming in. Oh, I have watched till my eyes were aching, Dav after weary day; Oh, I have hoped till my heart was breaking, While the long nights ebbed away; Could I but know where the waves had tossed her. Could I but know what storms had crowed her. Could I but know where the Winds had lost her. Out in the twilight gray! But though the storms her course have altered, Surely the port she’ll win ; Never my faith in my ship lias faltered, I know she is coming in. For through the restless ways of her roaming, Through the mad rush of the wild waves foaming. Through the white crest of the billow, combing, My ship is coming in. Breasting the tides where the gulls are flying. Swiftly she's coming in; Shallows and deeps and rocks defying, Bravely she's coming in. Precious the love she will bring to bless me, Snowy the arms she will bring to cares, me, In tile proud purple of Kings she will dress me. My ship is coming in. White in the sunshine her sails will be gleaming; See, where my ship comes in ; At masthead and peak her colors streaming. Proudly she’s sailing in; Love, hope and joy on her decks are cheering, Music will welcome her glad appearing, And my heart will sing at her stately nearTOg, When my ship comes in. —Robert Jones Burdette.

Thomas, Peacemaker

By GERTRUDE GAVIN

Tommy loved Miss Marsden, though that dhina painting iady was utterly oblivious to the wealth of affection at her command. Indeed Nancy Marsden was at times rather inclined to regard Thomas aS a mild bore, for he insisted upon talking to her in the elevator and in the halls when she was hurrying out for her walk or for the dinner rolls. Tommy had a most expressive face and Miss Marsden a tender heart, so that heart prevented her cutting Tommy short and thereby bringing pain to that mobile If somewhat unlovely countenance. Tommy had a rival in Jack Truesdell, who, apart from his objectionable fondness for Nancy, might have been

“IS SHE CRYING, TOMMY ? IS SHE SORRY ?" HE ASKED EAGERLY.

regarded by Tommy as a model to be slavishly, copied. Truesdell had been Tommy’s favorite before Miss Marsden moved Into the studio building, and it was hard to hate him, now that he had cut lu between them, but Tommy realized that love is ever breaking as well as making friendships, and he strove hard to conceal his hatred lest It give pain to Truesdell. Tommy ran the elevator In the Rembrandt studios, and from his ]K>sitlon was able to see even more of Nancy than Truesdell, who had to hover over the stairway to get a chance to happen lu the elevator at the same time she rode down. Truesdell's room was two flights above, nud more than once Tommy had caught him looking over the banisters wltli the result that Truesdell now rang in vain when Miss Marsden approached the elevator. Then curne a day, the saddest in Tommy’s young life, when Truesdell and Miss Marsden came In together, and he gathered from their conversation that they bad met at a studio tea somewhere. After that Truesdell hung over the banisters no longer, but went straight to Miss Marsden’s door, when be wished to see her, which was very frequently, and he even added to the offense by ringing for the elevator to take him down and up. These were heavy days and sleepless nights for the little red headed elevator runner. In his boyish, passionate way be fairly worshiped the bravq. Ilttje womaq_ who supported

herself and her Invalid mother' by her brush. It was agony to feel that Truesdell wotild win her before Tommy himself should have attained the grownup state wherein a proposal of marriage is regarded with other than scorn. His bitterest moment, one that lived in his memory long years afterward, was that memorable afternoon when, through the latticework surrounding the shaft, he saw Truesdell take bls leave from the Marsden apartments and Nancy put up her sweet face for a kiss. Elevato* running in a studio build* ing sharpens the wits, and Tommy knew that that kiss would have never been permitted unless they were engaged. His worst suspicions were verified the next morning when on Miss Marsden’s ungloved hand he saw the ring. That afternoon Tommy went home sick, and even sulphur and molasses, his mother’s infallible remedy for boyish complaints, gave him no comfort. He was back at his post the next morning, but through that sleepless night something of the man had entered his being, some curious development that left him still a boy and yet almost a man. He ran the elevator up and down with his accustomed skill, but even Miss Marsden in her new found happiness saw that there was something different in the wistful smile with which be greeted her and patted his heed, thinking that the boy, in his eagerness to work, had come back too soon. The days passed In mournful procession, and Tommy made application for another job that he might not be called upon to witness Miss Marsden's happiness, when one afternoon the door to her studio slammed and Truesdell strode toward the elevator with wrathful face. “Going up,” he called, and there was a sharpness, intensity, to the voice that Tommy had never before heard. Truesdell left at his own floor, and as Tommy watched him turn in at his own door he caught the sudden collapse from the pride of carriage that told him much. Truesdell had hurt Miss Marsden and he was sorry for it, though he pretended not to care. Just before dinner she went down In the car and Tommy could see eventhrough the thick veil that she had been crying. He longed to go upstairs and thrash Truesdell, to beat his face until that smile should be replaced by a look much as Nancy Marsden wore. There was a lull about 9 o’clock, and Tommy left his car and crept to Miss Marsden’s door. He felt like a sneak as_he laid his ear against the thin paneling, but he must know the cause of the trouble. He could hear Mrs. Marsden’s even, placid tones and the girl’s grieved voice, and a sentence smote his ear. '“I could forgive him,” Nancy was sobbing, “If only he would come back and tell me that he was sorry, but be won’t.” Tommy crept away from the door and ran the car up to Truesdell’s floor. "I'm not at home to any one. If that’s a card you have,” he said sharply, as he started to shut the door. Tommy pushed past him. “It’s more than a card,” he explained, as he eyed his rival. “It’s’ Miss Marsden.” “A subject that falls to Interest me,” said Truesdell bitterly. “Do you come with a message from her?” “Yes,” said Tommy boldly, “only she didn’t give It to me to give you.” "Then how the deuce can you have a message from her?” stormed Truesdell. ‘1 love her, too,” said Tommy. “You mean that you love her,” corrected Truesdell. Tommy caught the word play. "G’wan,” he said, “you know you loves her, only you’re mad at somethin’ and won’t say you’re sorry.” "How do you know all this?” demanded the surprised Truesdell. "When anybody you love Is cryin’ her eyes out I guess you’d listen against the door, too,” defended Tommy stoutly. Truosdell gripped his shoulder so that it hurt. “Is she crying, Tommy? Is she sorry?" he asked eagerly. “Sure,” asserted Tommy. “Didn’t I hear her say that if you’d come back and say yer sorry"— Truesdell waited to hear no more. He was pushing Tommy toward the elevator. Tommy dropped him off at the Marsdens’ floor and ran the car all the way down to the cellar. He could not witness the end of his work. He felt that be must have a cry and for that the cellar is the most secluded place. It was not until a furious ringing of. the bell roused him that be checked his tears and ran the car up. Nancy and Truesdell were waiting together at the door. Nancy threw her arms about him and kissed him upon his freckled, blushing cheek. “Jack has told me all, dear,” she whispered, “and next to him I love you more than any one else, because you were generous and brought him back to me." In Tommy's heart glad songs of praise echoed and re-eckoed, but all be could say was: “I’m glad of that. I guess It’ll have fb hold me till I get growed up and .can give him a good run for first place.” It was not gracious, but Nancy understood and kissed mm again.

His Selections.

Jay Cooke in 1866 told the. following: “One day when I was putting government bonds upon the market I was greatly annoyed by the clerks telling me that there was an old man in the office who would do no business with them and must see me. To get rid of him I went out. Said he: “ ‘Mr. Cooke, I have got $3,000 in gold >a bag, I cuq’t do anything

with it in the town where I live. They are circulating grocers’ checks and everything else but money, and I am frightened because I think I will be cheated if I dispose of it. Will you tell me on your word of honor If these bonds are sound and right?’ “I replied; ‘lf they are not right, nothing is right. I am putting all I have in the world into them.’ “After further conversation the man concluded to take them. “ ‘What denomination will you have them In?’ I asked. ~ " 7> “This was too much for the old man. He had never heard that word used in connection with business. He scratched his head and said: ‘“You may give me SSOO in old school Presbyterian, to please the.old woman, but I will take the heft of it in Baptist.’ ”

Don’t Use Big Words.

In pronnfguting your esoteric cogitations and in articulating youri superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational commu nlcations possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomer ations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affections. Let your extemporaneous decanting and unpremeditated expatiations have in telllgibility and veracious vivacity' without rhodomontade or thasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloqulal verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double ententes, prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, purely and truthfully. Keep from slang; don't put op airs; say what you mean, mean what yo*i say and don’t use big words

THE COST OF LIVING.

ftiarh Prices Weiirh Heavily on Thos* With Limited Incomes. The cost of living is still advancing *nd is now about one and a half points above what It was at this time last year. Dun’s index number for June was $98,759, and for a year ago It was $97,192. This shows that the trusts are still charging all the people can bear, and those whose wages do not advance in like proportion have to curtail expenses or spend any surplus they hitherto have been saving. July 1, 1897, Dun’s index number was $72,455, so the increase in the price of the necessaries of life has been nearly 40 per cent. The present tariff law was passed in 1897, and as the trust era at once began it is proof that the trusts and combines have forced this great advance in price and that the tariff law has fostered the trusts and makes It possible for them to extort this enormous Increased profit from the American people. It is needless to inquire how much wages have advanced to meet this Increased cost of living, for, as about every one either Is a wage earner or pays wages to some one else, each individual can answer that question better than any one else can for him. There is no doubt that wages generally have advanced about 20 per cent, and in one or two industries where the workmen are specially well organized wages may have advanced nearly as much as the cost of living. The great question is. How long can this strain of high prices be borne by that large class of people whose incomes are stationary and who have no means of adding to what they receive? To tnem this era of trust high prices is equal to a great reduction of income, entailing large economy and even lack of the ordinary luxuries that the American people are used to and have become almost necessities to them. Instead of amending the tariff to meet these conditions and thus reduce trust prices the Republican leaders are proposing to impose more Internal revenue taxes to meet the deficit in the receipts of the treasury which the high tariff and extravagances have caused. In that case the price of those articles that the tax Is put on will Increase and the strain on those of limited incomes will be greater than ever. . As the railroads and the trusts pay none of the tariff or internal revenue taxes and therefore nothing for the support of the government and the railroad millionaires and trust barons pay no more of these taxes than the ordinary citizen does, to extend this Republican system would be an outrage on the very class who are now bearing the greatest burden. What is needed and what must come is tariff reform that will bring more income to the government and at the same time induce foreign competition against the trusts. By a reasonable reduction of the tariff duties the trusts will be forced to reduce the prices of those products upon which the tariff Is lowered to prevent the foreign products coming in and competing with them.

Rock Salt For Farm Animals.

One of the best ways to salt animals is to use rock salt in very large lumps. The cattle and other animals will then be compelled to lick It rather than eat it, and there Is thus no danger of their getting too much of It. It should be placed where the animals can get to it at any time. It should be placed in a rack or in boxes raised above the ground so that it will not get dirty.

Faults Not Hereditary.

Don’t decline to buy a mare for brood purposes solely because she was a hard puller on the bit or because she had some other trait that was objectionable. These traits may be the result of injudicious handling when young, especially if the subject was of a highly nervous temperament.—Horse Breeder.
