OLD MOTHERS.

I love old mothers mothers with white hair. And kindly eyes, and lips groun softly sweet iVith murmured blessing over sleeping babes. There Is something In their quiet gr.ico That speaks the calm of Sabbath afternoons; A knowledge In their deep, unfaltering eyes That far outreaches all philosophy. Time, with caressing touch, abiut them weaves The silver-threaded fairy shawl of age, While all the echoes of forgotten songs Seem joined to lend a sweetness to their speech.' Old mothers! as they pass with slow-timed step. Their trembling hands cling gently to youth's strength; Sweet mothers! as they pass, one sees again Old grarden-walks, old roses, and old loves. Century Magazine.

S Benton's (Incompetency I $ ssa mwT issslssssJt5ss

"Why, of course, Benton, you can take the mare," acquiesced Deacon Hardcastle. "And I tell you," he continued, "if you have a chance to sell her, you do so. I declare, I believe she ought to fetch a hundred and twenty-five dollars, don't you?" "I think likely Fhe will," slowly re plied Lovejoy, as If half in doubt Then he asked: "Have you driven her lately?" "No, I haven't- As a matter of fact, she's too high-strung for me. Since I had the rheumatism. I'm not able to hold her; but you'll manage her all right, for you're a born horseman," the deacon complimented. Benton Lovejoy was fully confident he could manage the mare; how he wished he could manage the deacon's daughter as well. "She's a bit offish, and I'm too darned diffident," he had often soliloquized ; "but I'll be switched If I'll court her another winter without knowing how I stand with her." The Lancaster fair would afford him an opportunity to show Miss Hardcastle his ability. He would so impress her with his knowledge of affairs in general, and about horses in particular, that she would be only too anxious to accept him. The long ride home, from Snowcraft's hill and across the interval, would be the tlm he would make his proposal. On the morning of the following Thursday, the deacon's pretty daughter, all of a sparkle, took her seat beside Lovejoy, and away toward Lancaster the rode. Th' mare was unusually fractious. Indeed, for the first half hour, Lovejoy gave her his exclusive attention, notwithstanding the fact that he had a most agreeable companion at his side. lie almost wished he had bis father's old Bill, the milk-ronte horse, between the shafts. Then he could enjoy the girls: now It was pull and tug to subdue the lively animal. Presently the road made a sharp turn to the right. Lovejoy rounded the bend he saw, directly ahead and at a distance of three hundred feet, the wagon of a side-show, evidently on the way to the fair. The vehicle was showily painted i bright red ; and from the four corners floated long red streamers. while at a barred opening at the rear peeped the sharp eyes of a bear. The mare saw the wagon and Its occupant as quickly as did Lovejoy. She stopped sltort, then snorted, shlel, reared and danced a waltz, at tbe same time throwing her head from side to side In a vicious manner. -Now," thought.Lovejoy, "Is the time to demonstrate to Miss Bessie my knowledge of horsemanship.' Over-confident in his ability, he attempted to drive the thoroughly frightened mare past the wagon. With a Jump, a spring and a terrified whinny, away she plunged, barely escaping collision with the show team. Down the road she flew. The night before a heavy rain had fallen, and the mare threw big splashes of mud over the occupants of the buggy as she plunged madly on. In vain did Lovejoy strive to control the high-strung animal. She was mistress of the situation, and well she knew it- At a breakneck speed she raced until the tents of the fair loomed ahead. Here her driver was sure he could control her. Not so, however. Right on she rushed as though blindly Insane. Bang! against the side of tbe entertainment tent she leaped; she broke through the rotten canvas and came to a standstill between two long tables covered with eatables. Iovejoy's hat was missing, his coat was split at the back, his arms were nearly pulled from their sockets. What Of poor, humiliated Bessie Hardcastle! She had Imagined how Important she would look riding into the fair grounds beside the fine looking Benton, and how the other girls of her acquaintance would envy her. Now, with hat awry, her sprucely starched white lawn a speckled mass of mud, her shawl dangling from the back of the buggy, she was almost In tears. "What In Tophet do ye think ye air doin'?" j-elled a red-haired man, gra?iIng tie prancing mare by the bridle. "I'm trying " commenced Lovejoy, but before he could finish his sentence the mare, still mettlesome. Jumped sidcwlse and uiiet the man who, In endeavoring to regain his footing, received a sharp blow from lier head, which sent him sprawling over a lox and finally landed him iu the sawdust under one of the tables. The capricious animal pranced this way and that, demolishing everything within reach of her forefeet and head. As a matter of fact, she actually pushed her way through the opposite side of the tent from which she had entered, and tlKMV locomlng entangled In the tent ropes allowed herself to Ik? quieted. Lovejoy, having dismounted, and the focus of several hundred fun-loving eyes, assisted his companion to alight. The girl had not soken since the first on-rush of the mare, but had tightly gra?ied the fide and back of the seat, holding on with all her strength. Now, knowing all danger past, she exploded. "Benton Lovejoy," she cried, the paleness of her cheeks giving away to a blood-red rush of anger, "aren't you ashamed of yourself? See what you've done!" pointing to her niud-bespaiigled dress. "You're an ignorant, Incompetent blunderer!" and tossing her head haughtily, she walked away, leaving the chagrined escort to extricate tl? horse and buggy from the ropes. Leading the mare to a nearby fence, Lovejoy rubbed her down, while the onlookers gibed him unmercifully. The words of the girl had cut him to the quick. "You're an Ignorant, Incompetent blunderer." How this ran In bis ears! .Only that very morning

he had boasted to himself of his horsemanship. "It was not my fault," he reasoned, sullenly. "No man living could have done more than I." "I say, Lovejoy, why don't you enter the critter for the six year-old race?" bantered one of the grinning crowd. "She'll take the sweepstakes sure, let alone taking everything within her reach!" and the man chuckled at his own wit, while the others joined in a general laugh. "Gosh," stormed the red-haired man, he who had' been tumbled under the table, and who now approached Lovejoy, "she hit me the all-firodest tunk side o' the head that man ever got!" and he rubbed his head vigorously. "But, I say, young fellow, who's the owner of this mare?" "She's owned over Groton way," replied Lovejoy, evasively. "And Deacon Hardeastle's the man who owns her, eh?' returned the redhaired man. ' "Yes, he's her owner," admitted LoveJoy. "I thought so, b'gosh. I know her build the minute I clapped eyes on her. You can't fool Moses Colburn on horse?, by jinks. Why, do you know that she's got racing blood in her! She's a trotter by birth !" cried the man with emphasis. "How so?" asked a by-stander. "'Cause 'tis so. She was sired by Dexter, the fastest horse of his day. and her mother was a three-minute mare. I know her pedigree as I do my a, b, c's." Then, in an aside to Lovejoy, "I want to talk with you a bit, young fellow." When beyond the hearing of the others, the man resumed : "The deacon, you krxow, don't appro ft of racing horses. Neither do I, as

THE DEACON'S MARE If AD WOX.

Its sometimes carried on ; but here it's all right, among friends and neighbors. Beln's I'm posted as to what's in this ere mare, I want you to enter her for the six-year-old race. It will be trotted this afternoon, and I vum I reckon you'll take the purse. I didn't rightly catch your name? Lovejoy, is it What's that, the entry? O, that'll be all right." It took a half hour's argument before Lovejoy consented to enter the mare. He did so more because he wished a sharp diversion from the humilaltlng escapade of the morning, than with the thought of carrying off the purse. He also remembered the deacon had told hinr to sell the mare. How better could he advertise her than by showing her speed on the track? Furthermore, he knew the girl wculd witness the race. What a triumph, If by rare good luck, he should win ; Low would she then regard hlra? The next three hours, coached by Colburn, a master at his trade, Lovejoy drove the mare along the back country roads. She was, ns Colburn had said, "a trotter by birth." Her speed was remarkable, considering that she had not been regularly trained for the turf. As the race would not be called until four o'clock, and It was ther; eleven In the forenoon, Lovejoy strolled In and alout the tents, hoping to meet the deacon's daughter. They met, face to face, nt the entrance of the Agricul tural Hall. "I have been seeking you everywhere and I hope " commenced Lovejoy. "Please understand, once for all, Mr. Lovejoy, that I do not wish to recognize you as an acquaintance," broke In the girl, her face flashing ominously. "But, Bessie " he pleaded. "Miss Hardcastle, If you please, sir," she Insisted, frigidly. "Pardon me, Miss Hardcastle," he corrected, a quiet smile about his lips. "I wish to say that I hope to atone for my late fiasco before the day closes. Then I am sure I slmll be redeemed In your estimation?" "Indeed, sir," she sneered, "you have great assurance. An Incompetent man, such as you have proved to Ik?, has small hope of redeeming himself In my estimation. Good-day, Mr. Lovejoy," and she disappeared among the crowd going Into the hall. Lovejoy had little time to brood over his ill-luck with the girl, as the race was called an hour lefore the appointed time, and lie was kept busy with this accustom the mare, as well as himself, to the course, he drove several times over the half-mile, as he passed the grandstand he saw her seated among her friends. So far as he was able to discern, she did not recognize the driver in the blue sweater and wearing a trl-colorod cap, as himself. Yet he half Imagined she cast more than a casual glance at the mare. Presently the gong sounded. The three who were to contest for the six-year-old purse, ranged themselves In position, Lovejoy taking the rail by preferment. Each of the drivers was fully alert; for this was to le the great race of the fair. Bang! The shot cracked the air and they were off ! The mare, unused to the cheerlnj and

the confusion, broke and threw herself J

behind. In a twinkling she came to her feet again and, seeming to feel the thrill of speed In her veins, spurted forward and gained on the others. Cheer on cheer rent the air. The mare was gaining! Now she was within a few feet of the rear horse, now at the hub of the sulky, now at the flank of the forward trotter, now neck and neck' with him; and then, like the rush of a quick rising wind, she swept on, on, and still on, until she passed the wire, three lengths the winner. Lovejoy, as he turned the mare about and drove slowly back to the starter's 6tand, glanced quickly at the girl wearing the white hat with the blue ribbons. He saw her face aglow, and then he knew she recognized him ; but she madi) no acknowledgment, even when hoi doffed his cap. Great Scott! Could he, but win two remaining heats. Again the gong sounded, again he sat, under th wire, again the shot cracked out, again the race trotted, and again he won. So It was with the third and last heat The deacon's mare had won the six-year-old purse of five hundred dollars. At the exit to the track he was accosted by Colburn. "Lovejoy," cried the red-haired man, exultantly, "what did I tell you ! Blood will win, every time! Here's Colonel Fletcher, shake hands with him, Mr. Lovejoy. The colonel's taken a fancy to the mare. In fact, he wants to buy her ; but I tell him she can't be touched under a thousand!" Under a thousand! Had he heard aright? A thousand dollars besides the five hundred dollar purse! Lovejoy, however, was a Yankee, he did not express surprise at Colburn's figure, but shook his head, as if not willing to consider the offer. "Yes; I thought you'd not sell for a thousand," continued Colburn. "I told the colonel It was a small price fr the mare; but x It's better than selling to Dave Ilimtington, who'll want to give his note for her, even If he will pay more. But I've bought you two together, and you can make the deal, that is if the mare's for sale." At this moment the crowd came pouring from the grandstand. Straight toward the three men came a rosycheeked frirl, wearing a white hat trimmed with blue ribbons. Bight up to the side of the mare she came as Lovejoy, steing her approach, said: . "Colonel Fletcher, I don't care to sell for a thousand; the mare's worth more, and you know it. I'll tell you what I'll da If you'll say two hundred more, making It twelve hundred, I'll write you a bill of sale." "Unhitch her, and come to the tent and get your money," promptly responded the colonel, elbowing his way through the throng of onlookers. .Colburn, placing his foot on the hub, raised hinuelf so that he was enabled to whisper In Lovejoy's ear: "I s'pose that extra two -hundred is Colburn's, isn't it?" Lovejoy nodded In the affirmative.' and then, throwing the lines on the mare's back. Jumped to the ground. The girl with eyes sparkling and cheeks aflame, linked her arm with him, and by the pressure she gave It, he knew that it was an unconditional surrender. Waverley Magazine. DOCS ON THE BATTLEFIELD. French Army Urared to TJae Them to Ilrtrleve the Wounded. Since dogs have proved to be such able assistants to the Taris police corps why shouldn't they be trained to reinforce the hospital and ambulance service of the French army? The advantages of this Innovation have been set forth at some length by Dr. Bichelonne and Capt Tolet In a volume which has Just been published, says a Paris dispatch In the New York Sun. It is entitled the "Dog as an Aid to the Sanitary Corps." That dogs should be taught to seek out the wounded on the battlefield Is no new Idea. The experiment was tried with success at the time of the Boer war, and at the battle of Chaho In the conflict In the far east three dogs sent out by the German alliance discovered twenty-three soldiers who had been given up for lost. In 1S0O, by the order of the German war minister, two dogs were added to the sanitary corps of one of the crack regiments. Since then clubs for the. training of dogs in war time have been formed in Dresden, Cologne, CoDurg. Alx-la-Chapelle and Neuwied. Similar societies have been organized In Holland, Sweden and Italy. In fact all of the European countries have turned their attention to the subject at one time or other, except France. Dr. Bichelonne and Capt. Tolet urge the military authorities to repair this omission. There are many good breeds of dogs In France which would take easily to the military training. : It Is an undisputed fact, these authors saj that after an engagement there are many wounded and dying who are overlooked by the nurses and litter carriers. A case In point Is quoted. At the battle of BezonvllleGravelotte In 1S70 two Injured soldiers lay for three days In a ravine. The ground had been gone over many times by the ambulance service and yet they had not been found. In Instances like this the usefulness of dogs as scouts Is unquestioned. It Is a wonder that European armies have not nwakent.il Ions before tills last decade to tbe Importance of dogs as practical helpers In war time, the authors think. On the battlefield the role of these canine assistants would be very much the same as that of the St. Bernard dogs and they have been resetting snowbound travelers for several centuries. (iettlmc I'veii. From time Immemorial there had been a law in Applgate, County Warwick, England, to the effect that the mayor had the best of everything In town, and, for Instance, one should say he had the best coat In the place he must add the words, "Except the mayor." One day a stranger came to Applegate and had dinner there at the inn. After paying his bill he said to the landlord: "I've had the best dinner In the country." The Landlord Except the mayor. The Stranger Except nothing! As a result the tourist was called before the magistrate and fined 10 for his breaking of the laws of tiie place. When the man had paid his fine he looked around him and said, slowly: "I'm the biggest fool In the town, except the mayor." SavlitK III Conscience.
