Old Mr. Richmond had been very
considerate, the three maiden ladies
agreed, as they went along the road to
church. He was not going to turn
them out of their home, though he lied
bought It, and the rent he was charg-
ing them was utmost a nominal one.
it was hard that they should have
hart to sell the oi l homestead, hut It
would pass into other hands after
their death, and they needed a little
ready money, owing to the slump in
Miss Alice's investments.
Miss Alice was nearly sixty; Miss
•Jill was fifty-two; Miss Delia, the
baby of the family, was—well,
younger.
Miss Delia had always been the
, baby. Miss Alice and .Miss Jill had al-
j ways known that they were cut out for
| old maids, but they bad hoped to tinrt
| a husband for Miss Delia. Even now.
at—well, at her age, she had a sort of
| girlish look; she was just the kind to
I make a splendid wife, and at one time
Mr. Richmond had seemed quite taken
with her. But that was years ago, and
there had been some little disagree-
ment—nobody knew what—and he had
stopped calling, though he and Miss
Delia had always remained friends.
Mr. Richmond was not really old. lie
was In his early fifties, perhaps. It
was a pity. Hut all that was dead and
gone, and here were the three maiden
ladies walking to church in the bright
sunshine.
"Perhaps we might have ordered
things better, Alice," said Miss Jill.
"Have you been reading that book of
mine about being able to control life
by Just sitting down and wishing?"
"Wishing? What a funny idea !" ex
dnlmed Miss Alice. "Besides, how do
you know you'd wish for what was best
for you?"
"What would you wish for?" asked
Miss Jill. "Oh, I forgot: it spelts it
if you say what your wish is But t
know what I'd wish for."
"I know what I'd wish for," said
Miss Alice. "What would yon wish fur,
Delia?"
"I think I know what I'd wish for,"
said Miss Delia, blushing.
They walked on to the little church,
After the service they met old Mr.
Richmond, with ids dog, and he ac-
companied-them along the road.
"Kure there's no lit feeling about the
cottage?" he laughed.
"I'm sure there isn't," salrt Miss Al-
ice. "You've been most considerate,
Mr. Richmond."
"Yes, indeed !" echoed Miss Jill.
They fell back, to allow Mr. Rich-
mond to walk with Delia, a pretty lit-
tle maneuver. The two elder ladies
had always given place to the sister
whom they idolized. They saw the two
walking along the road together
"I do wish It had come off 1" sighed
Miss Alice.
"Is it too late?" asked Miss Jill.
"I'm afraid so," Miss Alice an-
swered. "That was ten years ago.
and they've been such good friends
ever since. Too good, my dear."
They did not rejoin Mr. Richmond
and their sister until they reached the
cottage.
"Won't you come In and have din
ner with us?" asked Miss Alice
"No, I—I positively must be getting
back." answered Mr. Richmond. "I —
I—" He glanced at Miss Delia, who
was blushing like a peony. "I—your
sister and I have—hum!—promised to
marry each other," Mr. Richmond sairt
Miss Alice and Miss Jill took Delia
in their arms, and there followed those
tears that elderly maiden ladles re-
serve for such occasions. Then there
was handshaking.
"I'm a lucky fellow," said Mr. Rich-
mond. "As a matter of fact, just be-
tween ourselves, that's why I bought
the cottage. Knew I'd never get Delia
out of it any other way. But, of course,
we shall insist on your alt staying
witti us. Come, Bob!"
He whistled to his retriever, which
went scampering off beside him.
"Dear Delia, I am so happy 1" sighed
Miss Alice.
"And so am I," said Miss Jill. She
started. "Why, It's my wish I" she ex-
claimed.
"What did you wish, my dear?"
"I wished Delia to have a sweet-
heart. What did you wish Alice?"
"I wished you both to have your
wishes," Miss Alice answered. "Dirt
you wish, Delia, darling?"
Delia was crying. "Oh. yes, yes; hut
mine was such selfish wish." she
sobbed. It was all for myself and
not for you."
"What was it, dear?"
"I wished to have—have a dog!"
Delia sobbed.

And up the empty floors
Dim figures move from desk to desk.
And \anish through the doors,
And phantoms in the buckled shoes
And queues of long ago
Touch heads In confidential groups.
Or hurry to and fro.
No busy pages pass In haste,
No gavel sharply raps,
No oratory shakes the dome
With verbal thunderclaps.
No hills are molded into laws
Or eloquently spurned.

But after It disbands, the great.

Through storm and stress to stand.

Of patriots, return to walk

The famed rotunda vast.

HAILED AS LEFR3SY SPECIFIC
Scientists Making Thorough Investiga-
tion of the Properties of Chaul-
moogra Oil.
Although chaulmoogra oil tins been
in use fof hundreds of years by the
natives of India In the treatment of
leprosy. It is only in reeent times that
ceneral interest tins been taken In it.
Now scientists and medical inen of
various countries are studying the
chaulmoogra tree with special con-
sideration of the curative properties
of the oil arid its constituents, which
already have been thoroughly exam-
ined chemically.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has had plant explorers
in re Orient studying the true ehaul-
fr
Creduloehemistry.
Of all the "scientific" titbits dished
up by our newspaper chefs, none en
Joys more perennial popularity than
the discovery of the "lost art" of hard-
ening copper. Only rately our fore-
most journals were devoting columns
to the World war veteran who. finding
In an ashoan some leaves of tin old en
cyclopedia dealing with an ancient,
metallurgist and his success In hard-
ening copper, fell to experimenting on
his own account, with the result that
his process was bought by Judge Gar>
for $1,000,000 in cash plus - cents per
pound royalty. A modest and retiring
denial subsequently appeared. For
such newspaper crookery Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering suggests the
npt name of creduloehemistry. while
the Engineering and Mining .lnurnal
intlmntes that the press might vary its
menu by creating unbreakable glass
for milk bottles and petrified wood for
construction purposes. Certainly these
would prove no less digestible Ihnu
copper—even hardened copper. Scien-
tific American.

John E. Milligan. chief clerk of the
public utilities commission, breezed
Into his ofllce Monday In high spirits.
A broad smile adorned his face and
he went about his work with the alac-
rity of a man who lias Just inherited a
fortune.
His fellow-workers began to confer
with one another as to the prob-
able cause of the chief clerk's ju-
bilation.
"I'll bet be Just got .a ton of coal,"
suggested one young statistician.
"Maybe he struck a gold mine out
In his Maryland farm." another said.
Later In the day the truth leaked
out. Milligan had become the papa

Branch and Fruits of Chaulmoogra
Tree.
moogra and collecting the native lore
regarding the value and uses of the
oil from different related species. In
Department Bulletin 1057, "The Chaul-
moogra Tree and Some Related Spe-
cies," by Joseph F. Rock, agricultural
explorer, Is collected all the recent In-
formation regarding these trees and
the oils used In the treatment of
leprosy and some other skin diseases.
According to the bulletin, some In-
vestigators accept It as established
"that the fatty acids of the ehanlmoo-
grlc series are specific In leprosy."
The modern method is to use hypo-
dermic Injections of the esters pre-
pared from the peculiar fatty acids of
the oil, which have been found to pos-
sess curative properties. The natives
of India have been using the crude oil
In local applications or internally, and
investigations have shown that many
of the seeds sold for the purpose are
not of the species known to have cura-
tive qualities.
The author recommends that a tnor-
ough survey be made of the chaul-
moogra tree and all the known species
related to It; that promising localities
be visited; that seeds be secured in
quantities for germination and chem-
ical examination; and that samples of
soil and specimens of flowers, fruits
and the wood be collected and pre-
served. If plantations are to be es-
tablished, he says, it Is of the utmost
Importance to know which of the nu-
merous species should he planted.
The best yielder of fruits, the largest
fruited, and thpse yielding the proper
oil in largest quantity should be se-
lected.
Freak Plant Growth.
A report of an unusual Incident of
growth out of season that occurred in
April In Kimberly, South Africa, has
reached London. The report says that
there was on exhibition the brunch
of a plum tree profusely covered with
blossoms, notwithstanding the fact
that In the ordinary course such tree
should not blossom before October.
The unusual phenomenon Is variously
attributed to the unseasonably warm
weather and the prolonged drought.
Pullet Born Without Gizzard.
Having occasion to kill a nine-
months-old pullet which showed symp-
toms of some wasting disease, a Mas-
sachusetts man found on opening It
that the bird had no gizzard, hut It
had hundreds of minute eggs not de-
veloped. It Is presumed that the fact
of having no gizzard would have
eventually caused Its death.
Out-of-Date
Yards that measure only 35 inches and 15-ounce pounds are out
of date. Advertising has put them clear out of business.
Manufacturers who advertise must give value, because they
have a good name to protect. Manufacturers of well-known
products and the merchants who sell these products often value
the names at millions of dollars. They cannot afford to jeopar-
dize the worth of these names by selling any but good goods <>1
full measure and fair price.
A merchant or manufacturer cannot afford to advertise mer-
chandise that will not give service. The penalty of such tactics
is too heavy.
You can bank on this. Advertised goods must be as advertised.
That is why it pays to deal with advertisers and to buy advertis-
ed products. The advertising is your protection.
