The Howe ditch furnishes an excellent outlet for their drainage. Many people delude themselves by saying "It will wear away,” when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble. This is a mistake. Take Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and stop the drain on the vitality. It cures backache, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, and makes every trace of pain, weakness, and urinary trouble dlsappear.-vA. F. Long.

WHEN SUSIE POUTED.

An Adventure That Introduced Her to the “Poke.” By JOSEPHINE REARDON. (Copyright, 1309, by Associated Literarj Press.] It was Miss Susie Cline’s pouting day. Firstly, she had received a letter from a girl chum giving the news of a matrimonial engagement It was written to make her feel bad. Secondly, Miss Susie’s Aunt Deborah, who was also her guardian, had charged her with carelessness in losing a piece of jewelry. Thirdly, she bad expected a girl friend to come and pass the summer with her, and that girl was going off on a yachting party to Norway instead. The list could be strung out to tenthly without exhausting it. When things begin to go wrong with a good looking girl of eighteen, with a $20,000 estate coining to her at one and twenty, it’s sure to be blue day. Miss Susie at first thought she would go to her room and have a good cry. Then she decided to sit on the veranda and let her eyes brim over with tears. The

“I AM A TRESPASSES, AND I HAVE BEEN SERVED HIGHT.”

third decision was to go out into the orchard and climb a tree, but she bad only started when she changed directions and wandered down the country highway without definite aim or object in view except to have her pout out. She had a stick in her hand as she walked, and the thistles and mayweeds lost their beads as she came within striking distance. There are girls who look horrid when they pout and wish they had never been born, but Susie Cline was not one of them. Half a mile down the road stood what was called the old bachelor’s place. The five acres and cottage were the property of Mr. Wayne Ashley, twenty-five and unmarried. He lived in the city In the winter and in his country retreat in summer. He was called a recluse, and there was a story to the effect that he had loved and lost and was the enemy of all womankind. Had Mr. Ashley chosen to explain to the country folks he would have told them that certain flowers and vegetables were fads of his and he was out there to grow them and communicate results to certain horticultural and agricultural societies. In fact, be was the partner of a leading florist in the city, though his name and money were hidden under that of “Co.” No woman had ever broken his heart or smashed his idols. Miss Cline and Mr. Ashley had never met. If she referred to him it was as a “poke.” He didn’t refer to'her at all. As the girl reached his place on this day her chin was in the air. Had she belonged to the other sex it would have been said that she had a chip on her shoulder. In the “poke’s” front yard grew a blue hollyhock, the result of one of his experiments. Miss Susie opened the gate and walked in for a closer look. Seeing no one about, she walked to the rear of the house to look at the vegetable garden. A feeling of defiance was mingled with her pouting. Any other day she would not have dared to open the gate. On this day she was ready to defy the old bachelor. “U-r-r-r-r! Bark, bark!” Miss Susie looked to her left, to see a big watchdog coming for her through the sugar beets. Ten feet away was a small tool house, with the door swinging open. Scarcely con< scious of what she did, the girl made two or three jumps, reached the shelter and pulled the door to. Five seconds later the dog was leaping against it and uttering growls to chill her blood. She had just begun to beg and plead with the dog to go away and let her get back to the highway when she heard a voice saying: “Good dog, Dick! Hold him there! It’s dollars to cents that you’ve got a tramp for a prisoner!” Miss Susie wanted to cry out that she was no tramp, but only a girl who had come out to pout; but she could lot get the words out. The chip fell from her shoulder and her teeth chattered. "Come out of that, you tramp!” called the man’s voice after bushing the dog. “Oh, you won’t, eh? Well, we’ll see about that. Watch him. Dick!” The place was provided with a windmill and water tank and garden hose.

There was a small unglazed window tlx feet from the ground in the end of the tool bouse. The “poke” attached the hose, turned on the water and thrust the nozzle through the opening Susie screamed wildly. If it was a tramp in there be bad a falsetto voice. The hose was pulled away, the door opened, and there— Susie bad sunk down in a heap—a limp, wet heap. “Grtat Scott! But what is it?” he exclaimed as he stood there holding open the door. “It’s—lt’s me!” came faintly nfter a moment regardless of grammar. “Why, Miss—Miss—but I didn’t know you were in here! I thought it was a tramp or a cot. 1 shall never forgive myself. Why didn’t you call out? Allow me, please.” Perhaps a girl crouching down in a toolsbed with her arms over her head is a more handsome object than a girl standing outside after having had a dozen barrels of water swished over her. The peach basket hat—the linen dress—the chin that had been in the air—where had all the jauntiness disappeared to? And in addition to all the other wetness, tears were rolling down the girl’s cheeks over her humiliation. “So sorry—so sorry,” the man kept repeating. “You—you are Miss Cline. I think? I am Mr. Ashley. I wouldn’t have had it happen for thousands of dollars!” All of a sudden Miss Susie dashed the tears from her eyes and began to laugh. Her pout was over with, and her sunshiny nature had asserted itself. And Mr. Ashley laughed. She was laughing over the situation, and he was laughing because she laughed. “I am a trespasser, and I have been served right,” said the girl. “Yes, 1 am Miss Cline. I know you will offer to see me home, but I thank you. 1 shall tell auntie that I fell into the creek. If you ever”— “I never shall. If it were known that I set my dog on a girl and then tried to drown her, what would people say?” “And if I don’t tell auntie that I fell Into the creek what’ll she say?” A wan, wet, lone, llmpsy Susie, trying her best to walk with dignity, went out of the gate and up the road to tell Aunt Deborah how she was stooping over to look at the fish and tumbled into the creek. That evening Mr. Wayne Ashley paid a call on the aunt and niece and formally made himself known. The accident at the creek was touched upon, but not pursued with any fervor. Having found his way over to his neighbors, Mr. Ashley contracted the habit of calling frequently, and one day, when fall had come and he was ready to return to the city, Miss Susie said to her relative: “Mr. Ashley has asked the privilege of corresponding with me.” “Yes?’ “And he says he may run down and call.” “Yes?” “And—and”— “And be wants to guard you tn future from falling Into creeks? Well, Mr. Ashley can talk very interestingly on horticulture, and I shall be glad to listen to bis remarks at any time,” said Aunt Deborah.

Music of the Telegraph.

Every one has put his ear to a telegraph pole to bear the wires bum, and most people have assumed that the wind was entirely responsible for the sound. So it is in many cases, but often the note is heard when not the slightest movement of the air is perceptible. A French investigator tells us that the sound in this case is due to the expansion and contraction of the wires from variations of temperature. As the wires are not perfectly uniform, they rub against the insulators, making a slight noise, which is amplified by the post acting as a sounding board. Another investigator is sure the sounds are due to electric waves, but he fails to explain how ordinary telegraph wires should be able to serve as wave detectors and in what way the electric waves are transformed into sound waves. The other theoory seems more probable. Some curious stories are told of this telegraph wire music. In Siberia the bears think that it is the buzzing of bees and would tear down the poles to look for honey if the contractors did not pile great stones about them to prevent this. In France, on the south side of the forest of Fontainebleau, the telegraph sounds are regarded as presaging rain. This is because the south wind in this region brings rain and the forest shuts off the nortD wind. In some districts the noise is popularly supposed to be due to the passage of messages, but it is hardly necessary to say that there is no evidence to support this view.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Elopement Sanctioned.

This is the way they marry in Busoga, on the right bank of the Nile, at Rlpan falls. Therman goes to some dance, generally given in honor of some departed Busogan, and. having danced and feasted with his charmer, the happy pair elope and go to the bridegroom’s home. This ends all ceremony, except that the brother of the bride visits them the next day and is received by the brother or some other relative of the bridegroom, who makes him a present of a cow or whatever else he can afford to give. This the girl’s brother keeps until be gets married and pays it over to the brother of some other girl. Men already married carry away another wife in the same way and with like etiquette and payment, and sometimes a married woman is carried off, but this breach of custom is generally condoned as H a mistake” and atoned for by the payment of a cow.

A NARROW ESCAPE

Edgar N. Bayliss, a merchant of Robinsville, Del., wrote: “About two years ago I was thin and sick, and coughed all the time and if I dldnot have consumption, it was near to it. I commenced using Foley’s Honey and Tar, and It stopped my cough, and I gained twenty-eight pounds, all due to the good results from taking Foley’s Honey and Tar.”
