“This is one of the most beautiful
spota I have ever visited.” said
Grace, as she rocked Idly In her
chair. “The man who conceived the
idea of building a hotel here should
have a monument raised to bis mem- 1
ory"
“Rather say that he should be per
mitted to live here forever,” suggest- '
ed Smithson lazily. “Why put him
under the sod so quickly?"
I meant when he dies, of course.” '
unended Miss Hargreaves. She
smiled brightly into the other's eyes,
and, for the hundredth time that
afternoon. Smithson caught himself
wondering why he had never realized
before what a charming girl Grace
Hargreaves was. .
He had known her for years but It
was not until they found themselves
among the first guests of the new
hotel in the Restigoughe region of
New Brunswick that he had hnd his
attention particularly drawn to her. j
The hotel hnd only been open two
weeks, and guests were still few.
“How did you And the place?" he
suddenly demanded.
"Mother wanted a new place.” she
explained. “Some men who hunted
through here last year told her about
the hotel that was being built and she
Insisted upon coming.”
"1 am here for old furniture," he
volunteered. "There are all sorts of
odd pieces to be picked up for a
*ong Their beauty lies In their genu
ineness; old bits brought out genera
tions ago and used by the pres- I
ent owners who cast longing glances
at the painted woods in the shops at
Dalhousle.”
(■race gave a little scream of de
light. "Do you mean to say that
there are really places where you can
still pick up old furniture?” she
nsked gravely. "If I had only known! I
I shall have to telegraph for more ;
money. Old furniture is a passion
with me.”
"Suppose we pool issues?” he sug
gested. "In that wav we shall not bid
against each other and raise the
prices. I'll buy it all up and when we
get back to town in the fall we will
have a division.”
Smithson hired a team for a month
and daily the three fared forth in
search of treasure trove. The others
at the hotel wondered at the long
drives upon which Mrs. Hargreaves
and her daughter went under Smith
son's guidance, but none of the furni
ture they picked up was brought to
the hotel and the nine day wonder
soon dropped.
Smithson picked up some wonderful
bargains and had them al shipped to
his town house. Hefore hi vacation !
time was over he had skimmed the
cream of the colonial collections in a
ten mile radius but even the anticlpa
tion of unpacking his treasures did
not console him for the fact that Mrs.
Hargreaves had elected to remain for
another month.
The long delightful drives behind
the fast team had deepened com
panionship into love as he cleaned
and polished his purchases with the
painstaking care of n true enthusiast,
each piece was a reminder of some
little happening of the vacation.
He did not fully realize this until 1
some weeks later when at last Mrs. I
Hargreaves returned to town and
Grace came to claim some of the
■poll.
“I should like that old desk.” she
said, as she pointed to one of the ac
quisitions. Smithson’s face clouded.
"I was hoping that you would not
want that.” he said. "That is a sou
venir of our first drive."
"We got a lot cf things that first
day,” she reminded, then blushed as
■he remembered that moment when
Smithson's hand had unconscious!}
dropped upon her own upon the desk. '
It had been only an Instant but it had '
stamped Itself Indelibly upon her i
brain.
She could not tell him that that '
was why she wanted It herself, and
she wondered If that was also the rea- '
son why he wished to keep It She
passed on to other things but each '
one had some association, nnd his for
lorn expression ns sho made her
choices touched her.
*1 really bate to take any of these
things away,” she said at last. "There
are no duplicates and they make such
a complete whole that It would be a
shame to spoil It all by breaking the
collection.”
"That might be avoided,” he said
bitterly. "If I had given less time to
the collection and more to the prompt
ings of my heart It Is not selfishness
that makes me want to keep these
things. It Is because each has some >
association with that happy time. I I
look at that table and remember our
lunch of bread and milk we made off
its surface. It’s the same way with
everything else. Kach piece reminds
me of you and I am loath to give up
even ono tiny souvenir of that time.”
"Is It really necessary to break the
set? she asked.
"You mean that—that you care for
me?” he asked.
Grace nodded.
"No one but a stupid man would
hfe.'e needed to ask that question,”
■he said softly, as she patted the
desk affectionately.
"We can make a very lovely home
with these—and you, swoetheart,” he
whispered. "And to think that all this
tlrao 1 thcjght your interest was only
the love of a collector!”
"The love for a *ollector." she cor
rected softly, ns she yielded to tbs

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM
Large Number of Defective School
Children an Old Phenomenon,
Now More Evident.
The enormous number of defective
school children should not alarm us
too greatly. Bad as It all Is. there Is
plenty of evidence that it is an old.
old phenomenon—as old indeed m
man himself—but now more evident
because there are more people. It is
less in rural districts, though still
present, and as the population is now
largely urban, it is quite natural that
the proportion of defectives should
increase, though as a matter of fact
there is no evidence that it has, Big
cities are modern affairs and that is
why their phenomena are being dis
covered, but the accounts of Londor
some centuries ago showed a deplor
able number of defectives, probabl}
far greater in proportion than In New
^ ork now. Though it is appalling
that there should be nearly a quartet
million diseased school children, ye*
the defects are of minor things. while
formerly they were severe. The seal
of most of the trouble is said to be
malnutrition, but it is not nearly so
bad as in European cities of the last
century. That is. the new facts must
not cause undue pessimism, but rath
er the reverse, for they show that
though there is an immense proven
tive work ahead of us, the progress
made in a century or even a half cen
tury has been enormous. Optimism
is in place, even if we are sure thnt
perfection Is unattainable. Moreover,
our preventive work is rapidly becom
ing more and more efficient now that
we are learning the exact conditions
and their causes.—American Medt
cine.

OLD-FASHIONED SWEET HERBS
—
Lavender, Thyme, Rosemary and Oth
ers That Give Forth Odors Both
Fresh and Invigorating.
I spent most of my schoolday hull
days at my grandmother's place, In
Yorkshire, England, where many ol
the customs of Queen Anne's time re
main unchanged. So to me lavender
and herbs seemed indispensable in a
selfrespecting household, and, as scon
as I owned a garden, they were in
stalled.
At grandmother's sheer muslin bags,
filled with levender. thyme and rose
mary, were kept In every cupboard,
bureau drawer and chest. Large jars,
filled with rose leaves and mignonette,
all the herbs and many spices, were
stowed in the sitting rooms and halls,
the lids were removed for about hall
an hour each day, after sweeping and
dusting were done, so that a faint,
indescribable perfume permeated the
whole house, and was most delight
ful.
Even physicians agree that sweet
odors are beneficial and valuable as
disinfectants. Those who have never
experienced the delight of sleeping
between sheets redolent of sweet
herbs have before them a Joy that
will not Boon be forgotten. Punk
sticks and pastillies have a positive
odor, pleasing for a time, but it be- j
comes tiresome; herbal odors are
fresh and invigorating.—Kate V. St
Maur, in the Woman's Home Compan
Ion.
Man and the Crowd.
An address once made by President
Schurman to the graduating class at
Cornell was an eloquent appeal for
the individual against the crowd
"Would you abolish poverty, would
you advance civilization?” he asked
"Then educate Individuals one by one
to be more virtuous, more intelligent
more skillful, more industrious.”
Upon the soundness of the plea
there will be general agreement. It
is but a new statement of the philos
ophy of Jesus that each man should
take care of his ewn soul. But it is a
creed that has been much more sue
cesfully taught on lonely farms and
pastures thun in universities.
Still, the creed is n good one to
teach. It can never be taught too
often. Better than all laws against
vice and crime and folly Is an im
pulse toward self-reform. And per- '
haps such an impulse was never morn
needed than now, for never was tho
voice of the crowd more clamorous
nor the influence of the crowd more
potent. He that can make sure of his
own thought amid its noises is a phil
osopher. He that can stand against
Its power is a hero.—New York
World.
What Geese Safd.
An Englishman hired Kerrigan to
attend to his stock farm, says the Ht.
Ix>uis Post-Dispatch. In the evening
he asked Kerrigan If he had fed the
stock and what he had given to the
geese.
Kerrigan—Two bales of hay, sir.
Englishman—What? Two bales of
hay to the geese to eat?
Kerrigan—Yes, sir.
Englishman—And did they eat It?
Kerrigan—No. they did not; but
they were all talking about It when I
left.
And Women Only Glow.
There are rules to be observed even
In expressing one’s self concerning
the effects of the weather upon one's
anatomy. A young Frenchwoman,
who was learning English while on
tour with an American governess,
once Inadvertently exclaimed, ’’Oh.
my, I am all of a sweat!” "Made
moiselle,” exclaimed the governess,
severely, "never let me bear you use
that word again! Horses sweat, men
perspire. Women only glow.”
• Dearest mother." wrote Helen. "It
seems too good to be true that school
really closes next Wednesday. If It
weren’t for my chemistry exam to

and it rained very unexpectedly and
of course it's ruined. So don’t let '
Ned play with my other one. for he is
so careless that something would be
sure to happen to it if he took It. I
don't want to have to go to the ex- ;
pense of buying a new racquet this
season, for I know it coRts dad a lot to
keep me at school nnd I do so want to
come back next fall, for 1 like It better
than I did the llrst year.

125 more each we can have the love

a study. 1 do hope you'll let me take
one of the big oriental rugs out or the

some madras curtains It will be the

Just crazy over It already and I wish

I can make a deposit to hold the

Why, mother, precious, how can you

perfectly destitute. My tailor suit Is

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA
*‘A few days after birth we noticed
an Inflamed spot on our baby's btp
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks ho was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced It chronic eczema. Ho Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best In this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that wo be
came alarmed nnd decided to try Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cutl
cura Soap nnd Olntmeut could we tell
what he looked like, as wo dared not
wash him, and l had been putting one
application after nnother on him. On
removing tho Beale from his head the
hair camo ofT, and left him entirely
bald, but sinco we have been uBlng
Cutlcura Soap nnd Ointment he has
as much hair ns ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment ho was entirely
cured. I don’t believe anyone could
have eczema worao than our baby.
"Before we used tho Cutlcura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. Ho would
fuss until I would treat him, they
aemed to relieve him bo much. Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring 1b their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.

There was going to be a picnic that

he retired at night that It might be

of the window at the peep of dawn. It

In the evening the little boy
wouldn’t say bis prayers. "Mamma,"
he asked, as he was going to bed,
"where do they sell Idols? I want to
get one to worship."
Exactly.
Noting that another piece of valu
able china had been broken, Senator
Allen asked his housekeeper how the
breakage occurred, and she hastily re
plied:
"It fell down and Just broke Itself."
"Merely an automatic brake," quiet
