It was truth, though all along until I was full grown I'd been called llmopt ugly, a tearing tomboy, all frowsy end freckled, who cared no aioro for frocks than to have them whole and clean, and had rather play bop-scotch and ride races bareback jn the colts than sit and sew patch work, or make puddings, or darn stockings. Aunt Jana had changed all that ihe was my mother's sister, and let mo f-ee she cared to have me look the lady. My stepmother had not cared nobody had until Aunt Jane :ame. She made me pretty dresses, mil brushed my hair till it was like spun gold, and took off my freckles with buttermilk, and kept me In gloves till my hands were baby soft.

Aunt Jana had gone away for a little while, and my stepmother never opened the best room for anybody abort of the minister. Bhe didn't mean to be unkind It was only that she loved to know and bear all anybody said. Shs could see us walking the lane length In the moonshine, cite she would never have lot me go. She was all for Allen, thinking so much of money as she did. He carat in the day time evenings his father wanted him to stay and talk over cases with him. Allen had read law, but never meant to practise, being sensitive as to showing himself. He had asked mo to marry him the week after John proposed. Tartly from vanity, partly to make John prize me more, I let him dangle on after me, telling him to wait I didn't know what I would say to him In the end. That wasn't n story I loved John so. I went In fear and trembling. It seemed to me beyond hopo that I ever could bo his wife and If I couldn't well, certainly I couldn't llvo nlong with my stepmother. It was her bouse father had left mo only his bit of money. She had said: "You're welcome to stay until yon marry," fully expecting the time to be short. That night of the full moon the world was nil silver, the elder flow ers more than silver pearl. Wild spice pinks in the garden. Heaven grapes wero in bloom, too, and the spice pinks In the garden.

Thre of them sang at onco, up and down the lane they had nests In the hedgerows and sang to their mates. Never was there such another night. Now I love to think of It for years the memory was like fire. Midway the lane we heard some body riding In the far end of It riding hard. There was a little rise before the end. As we looked wo saw Alien come spurring over It, bareheaded and stooping In his sadllo. He was upon us all In a whiff, and saying fretfully: "What are you doing here, Lyn ette? Come back with me to your mother!" Ho said It with authority. John stepped before him, caught his bridle rein and said, before I could answer him: "Lynette will stay here as long as she likes with the man she is going to marry!" "Liar!" Allen cried, scrambling down. In spite of the withered leg he had the strength of a bull. He caught John in a bear-hug, foaming out curses. John only smiled. With a shake of the shoul ders ho wrenched free, half flung Allen from him, but caught and steadied him, and holding him up right turned to face me. "Choose betwixt us, little girl," he said. "I thought you had chosen me. Itemember, I shall never ask you again." "Lynette! Lynette! My God! I love you so!" Allen cried hoarsely. I hid my eyes. I wanted to do right to he honeBt and true but John had said he would never ask again he must be mighty sure of me. And poor Allen! How could I flout him with a happy rival? I wheeled about, calling to them over my shoulder: "I shan't marry anybody until I please." No; that's not the end. John went away next week; next year I married Allen on his deathbed. He said I'd made him mighty happy. Myself? Oh. it hardly matters about women. But last week I got a letter next week John is coming for me. I shall give the Walte fortune to charity my only true love has enough for us both. Uncle Sam's Bunr Sleuths After Cats -' - I WINK THEY KE ff bit too Vw; FAR DQWI AT .WASHINGTON SHINGTON. A bitter war on ho house cat has been declared by tho department of agriculture. Ex perts In the biological bureau of that department are making exhaustive In vestigations of tho cat as a spreader uf disease. Already they have found out enough to convince them that us much danger lurks In a cat as In a rat, and rats are known to be fatal distributors of plague. , I'pon tho completion of theso In vestigations efforts will bo made by Urn Federal authorities to have eat license laws passed. It Is much more desirable, they say, to have a license for cats than a license for dogs. "We know that cats carry disease," said H. W. Henshaw, chief of the bu reau. In discussing the fight ngalust tabby, "but we do not know to what extent. We are practically certain they carry diphtheria, scarlet fever and ringworm, mid we suspect tin y rarrjr tuberculosis. All this we want to find out. Of course the liht to bring about a cat license will be a hard one. Such a siiKS"Sti(ii will be scoffed at. Hut In time people will come tc realize what a menace cats are. That is what we hopo to do bring tho people to such a realiza tloc." Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the bureau of biology, Is nt work on a bulletin on the house cat. lie hut been studying the question for years and knows the general habits of cats thoroughly. "Thero are lots of fallacious the ories regarding tho usefulness of cats," says Dr. Fisher "As a matter of fact they do almost no good and a great deal of harm. The dllllctilty In following tho question of the extent to which they carry disease In meas ured by the dllllctilty of following the cat. And yet there Is no doubt In the world that many a child who, for no apparent reason and from no discern' Iblo cuuhp, develops a case of diph theria or scarlet fever owes Its Illness and often Its death to the cat It has been fondling. Moreover, cats nro as susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs. "Tho highly pampered pet cat of tho luxurious household never falls to get out und roam around with the ordinary alley cat. In many Instancos the alley cat, which prowls all night long with tho pet cat. has spent the day Bleeping In some hut or hovel In an alley where smallpox, diphtheria or tubci.uloHls Is hid. "Recently there bus been much at tention paid to rats and the barm they do, both as destroyers and as spreaders of disease. In this connec tion tho cat has been pointed out as a Taluablo aid In keeping down the rat That Is an error. "I can state ifoni my personal ob servation that only about 5 per cent, of cats are really nioitsers. I have seen cats that- would tackle the big gest rat going and kill him, but such instances are rare. As a rulo a cat cares littlo lor a conflict with a rat. "As a matter of fact cats prefer birds to mice. They will spend twice as much time hunting birds. If one keeps count of a cat's quarry during a year he will find that the birds killed will far outnumber the mice. Little harm would be done if the wliolo cat tribe were exterminated, but Micro would be too much opposition to that. Still we think that when some of the facts concerning cats tire well known to the public, many mothers will be more careful nbout allowing their children to play with cats." TAPS SOUNDED DURING YEAR Men Who Fought In Three Wars Among Those Claimed by Death Since January 1. Death has claimed many famous soldiers during the lastyear. Gen. O. O. Howard Is one. He was the last of tho officers of the army to receive by name tho thanks of con gress. "The gratitude of the American people and the thanks of their repro Acntatives In congress are due and hereby tendered to MaJ. Gen. O. O.

EH V SOMETIMES it does us good to rem inisce a littlo bit, and this leads is to remark that 90 years ago, tho llriiish forces burned tho capitol. There wero about (i.OOO In number landed from the British vessels on the I'atuxent August 20, and on the 24th they reached the capital. There wero only about 3,200 men available for defense of Washington in ihe American army, and they only had 17 pieces of artillery. So when tho Brit ish made their raid on Washington, al though they were met with splendid resistance, the American army was compelled to retreat, and the red :oats made a triumphant entry into Washington and began to carry out ihe threat of the commanding inva Jer, who said: "I will make a cow pasture of these Yankee capitol grounds." Just as soon as the Brit ish got possession of the city they set fire to the capitol, the White House and other public buildings. It was at this time that Dolly Madison cut the famous lortrait of Washing ton from its frame, where It stood in tho great east root;! of the White house, and, rolling it up, had it cart ed away with the few effects which she was able to remove from the White House. The British descrip tion of what went on in tho capital at that time Is as follows: "The blazing boii-is, ships and stores, the report of exploding maga zines and the crash of failing roofs was one of the finest rights to bo con ceived. The sky was brilliantly il luminated by the conflagration. Tho scene was as striking and sublime as the burning of St. Sebastian's. To ward morning a violent storm of rain, accompanied by thunder and light ning, came on, whose flashes seemed to vio In brilliancy with tho flames which burst from tho roofs of burning houses, while tho thunder drowned the noiso of falling walls and was only interrupted by tho occasional roar of cannon and of large deposits of gunpowder as they exploded, onf. by one." But we don't look much like a cow pasture now, don't you know. 1 Ij ) '1 I ' I'M'1' 1I1 fiS7 si J IT 7. o i If 5 ,131 1 :! 1 3i ft; ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT ANeficliible Preparation for As similating iheFoodandnegula ling the Stomachs and Bowels of Promotes DKcBtion.Chcerfut- ness and Rcst.Contains neither Opium.

The polyglot policemen of Paris, who made their appearance about two years ago, are not an unqualified suc cess, and only two members of tha corps now patrol the boulevards. Thetl failure Is to be ascribed to the colos sal Ignorance of the tourist. "It Is a dreary and monotonous 00 enpation to have to supply Informa tion to foreigners who have nevel before been to Paris," said one of the force, "and we decided that we would move to have ourselves abolished Nearly every hotel nowadays has it interpreter, and tho need for our e:. istence struck us as more than doub' ful." O YOU remember how proud we were of our Spanish warships And now they are all in the scrap heap, rhe Boston, the Concord, the Winslow nd tho Detroit have all to go, as they ire no longer fit to cope with modern armament on the high seas. A storm )f protest has gone up in Washington, but It Is not going to help matters a single bit. The United States govern ment canont afford to hang on to the old battleships, even if they are dear !n memory. It will be remembered ihat the Boston, a protected cruiser, and the Concord, a gunboat, were in admiral Dewey's fleet at Manila. It was on the deck of the Winslow dur (ng the hottest cannon fire of the war, that Ensign Worth Bagley was killed Jiy an exploding shell. One of the achievements of the Detroit was the capture of the Catalina to the west ward of Havana, and she took active part in the bombardment of San Juan Every man who joined in the move ment for Cuba s freedom views w'tn sadness the passing of these four bat, tk hihips. Accompanying the condemna tion of the four Spanish War vessels is the passing of tho old sloop-of-war Portsmouth, forming tho last chap. ter in tho history of what is believed to be one of the most Interesting ships in tho old navy. Launched before the beginning of the Mexican war, the Portsmouth took an active part in that struggle, par ticipated in the suppression of ths African slave trade, fought in Chi nese waters, and had a largo share in the operations in the Gulf of Mexico during the Civil war. The Portsmouth was built in 1843, and after a voyage of one year and half arrived in San Francisco to pro tect the American citizens. War was declared soon afterward, and her men took possession of San Francisco, and hoisted the stars and stripes there for the first time. At present she is with the New Jer sey naval militia, but in a few days will be towed from Hoboken to the navy yard in Brooklyn to end one of the most varied and interesting ca reers of the United States navy.

And this stands less chance of getting hurt through tho carelessness of the driver of the wagon it rides in or from out side forces than any oy rider, ani mate or inanimate, in the country. For the treasury has a new money wagon, a brand new vehicle, made of hardwood, iron and steel, with heavy locks and bars, to bring money from the bureau of engraving and printing, where it is made, to the vaults of the treasury, where It is stored for safe keeping. And not only is the new wagon Dearly bombproof In Itself, but Just to make sure that some foolish person, with visions of a Jesse James hold-up scheme, will never succeed In accom plishing anything of the sort, eight heavily armed guards rido to and fro with the seven millions. And this extra precaution is due to the change in the system of making money. Until recently the money was printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, but sent to the treasury minus the seal and the number, so that it was not real money until handled in the treasury. Now one machine does all tho work, including the stamping of the seal and number. These figures the round seal to the right and the number to the left of tho face of a paper bill, stamped in blue are what make bills legal tender. Hence when the money passes through the wonderful cutting and stamping machine, which counts bills out in lots of 100 after it is through with them, it Is ready to spend and anyone who got hold of it would have the real thing. "It seems queer to some people that we should take such precautions to guard the money wagon," says Direc tor Ralph of the bureau of engraving and printing, "but we think it neces sary.

Every year since his graduation and when ever his duties permitted General Bates went back to the academy. He loved the old place, and on his last visit he made a request that when taps sounded for him he might be burled in the cadet cemetery which lies al most under the shadow of the academ ic halls. Within a few months of the time that his request was made taps Bounded, and General Bates Is at rest in the littlo cemetery on the Hudson plateau. Brig. Gen. Hamilton S. Hawkins, who died within the year, saw service in the Civil war as a subordinate offi cer. In the Spanish war he distin guished himself. General Hawkins en tered West Point in 1852, but he failed (to graduate. The academy had such fi. hold on his affections, however, that he asked before bis death tnat ne might be buried at the place which his boyhood experiences had endeared to him. General Hawkins was a southerner by birth, and with many other southern officers who had re ceived their military education and their lessons in loyalty at West Point, he remained true to the union. Of all the regular army officers of southern birth, who either rose from the ranks or were appointed from civil life to commissions, not one remained true to the flag at the outDreaK 01 Jhe Civil war. Of the southern grad uates at the military academy nearly one-thiid remained true to their oaths of allegiance and to the spirit of love for a united country which the acaa emy had inculcated.

One of theso is Gen. Horace Porter, formerly minister to France, and who now is retired and lives in New York city. The other, Gen. Michael R. Mor gan, retired, lives in St. Paul. It was to General Morgan that Grant turned after his brief consultation with Lee in the parlor of the McLane house at Appomattox and gave him the charge to "Feed Lee's army." It was General Morgan, who, riding back with General Grant through the dusk of that same evening to the Union lines, when the picket guns were raised against him, gave the great news to the soldiers: "Throw down your guns, boys. The war's over." General Morgan is seventy-six years old.
