And he took hispipo out of his month and looked at me just as your Grandfather Maple has looked at me a thousand, thou-sand times. And says I: 'Reuben, is that you?' And says ho: 'Yes, Lois, it is.' And says I: 'Oh, Reuben, what brings you ,back to this world? And says he: 'To wipe out the stains of a wicked world.' And says I: 'Are you happy, Reuben?' And says he: 'Yes, and that's the reason I want others to be.' And then I began to trem-ble all over, and says I: 'Is it anything I can do, Reuben?' And says he: 'There's no more offending nor giving offense in the other world, Lois, and Job Crofton's soul and mine are at variance no longer.' Bays he: 'Let there be peace, Lois, and let the young man Gilbert be your grand-child's husband.' And then he knocked the bowl of his pipe on the edge of the nndiron, as I've seen him do it so often; and he got up and he walked out of the room, just for all the world like a living creature. I've often heard as ghosts can go through a key hole, btit your Grand-father Maple's ghost opened the door and forgot to shut it after him into the bar-gain. So, when I roused up enough to know what was going on around me the floor was covered with snow that bad drifted in and the candle was blown out." "Oh, grandmother! do you think this was real?" cried Minny, with startlod eyes. "Didn't I see it with my own eyes, and hear it with my own ears?" demanded old Mrs. Maple. "It's your grandfather's ghost! And I might have known that if he wanted to appear he could, for he had obstinacy enough for anything, rest his soul! You may Marry Gilbert Crof-to- n if you want to, Minny! And perhaps your grandfather's ghost will be easy then!" So the young people were happily mar-ried, and Gilbert came to live at the farm, and managed all the old lady's af-fairs for her. And she lived to be a hun-dred years old before she closed those keen, blue eyes of hers upon the matters of this mortal world. But one day, in turning over the relics of the roomy old garret, Minny came across a red chest, clamped with brass, and faintly odorous of dried lavender and rose leaves. She opened it. "Oh, Gilbert, look here!" cried she; "my best suit laid up in camphor gum and sweet herbs! Why do you suppose that Grandmother Maple has kept it?" "I don't know, I am sure," said Gil-bert, with a mischievious twinklo in his eyes, "Perhaps for the younger genera-tions to masquerade in!" Minny sprang to her feet, a sudden light seeming to illuminate her whole face: "Gilbert!" cried she, "did you" "No matter," said Gilbert, laughing; "shut up the box, Minny, your great-grandfather's ghost will never haunt the house again." And it never did. Amy Randolph ia New York Ledger. ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE, Click, click, the sharp needles of the lecember snow storm were rattling (gainst the casements of old Mrs. Maple's ;armhouBe; patter, patter, tho last dead leaves of the old sycamore tree drifted down upon tho door stone. It was an old, old house, and Mrs. Maple was an old, old woman. Bnt you will sometimes find tufts of snowy bios-bin- s bursting froia age lichened apple trees, and sprays of greenery on the Voughs of century old oak trees; and so It happened that' Minny Maple, the crone's was the bud and blossom of her worn out life. Old Mrs, Maple owned house and land and had money out at interest; but he was & shrewd old lady and liked to'keep her affairs in her own hands. And pretty Minny, albeit an heiress in pros-pective, taught the district school and took caro of the farm dairy out of hours. "It won't hurt her to work for her liv-ing if she is to be rich one of these days," said Mrs. Maple. "I worked when I was girl." And upon this dreary December night Mrs. Maple's swift knitting needles gleamed like steely lightning in the fire-light, and Minny sat on a low chair be-- ( side her, mending table cloths, while ever and anon a big drop would plash down upon the darned spots like a glis-tening globule of dew. "But, grandmother, why?" burst out Minny at last, with blue eyes lifted up Eke forget-me-not- s drenched in rain, to the old lady's parchment like face. "Because I say so," said old Mrs. Ma-ple. And tho fire crackled, and the snow clicked softly against the window panes, and the knitting needles made zigzags of light as they flew back and forth. "But you say, yourself, grandmother, that he's a good young man," pleaded Minny. Old Mrs. Maple nodded. ."Without a bad habit in the world!" And again old Mrs. Maple nodded like a Chinese mandarin in a collection of curi-osities." ''And forehanded with his farm?" For the third time Mrs. Maple nodded. "Then, grandmother, why won't you consent to our marriage?" urged the girL "Child," said Mrs. Maple, turning her spectacle glasses full upon Minny's sweet, flower like face, 'Tve told you why, half a hundred timest It's because your great-grandfather Maple and his great grand-father were mortal enemies. Because you grandfather's last words upon his death bed were: 'I leave my soul to heaven, my money to my dear wife, and my everlasting enmity to Job Crofton!' " "But, grandmother," said Minny, with . a shudder, "that was very wicked! And surely, surely, the Bhadow of a tombstone should be a reconciliation?" Old Mrs. Maple shook her white head. "Your grandfather was a very vindic-tive man, Minny," said she; "I never disobeyed him living, and I never will disobey him dead!" "But, grandmother," coaxed Minny, with her fresh cheek against the old lady's hand, "he wouldn't know it. How could he?" "Child, child, your Grandfather Maple knew everything," said the old lady, with a sudden superstitious glance over her left shoulder, as something seemed to rustle at the casement. "And I do believe his ghost would haunt ine if 1 didn't give good heed to his last words. No, no; Gilbert Crofton can never be your husband, and you may as well give up the idea first as last." , i And Minny Maple cried herself to sleep that night. "For I never, never can marry him without Grandmother Maple's consent," she sobbed. "111 stay single for bi3 sake until the day of my death; bnt I never can disobey the kind old soul who has taken a mother's place to me and brought me up from a baby." But the next night there was an apple bee at Deacon Dangerfield's, and Minn Maple was there. Gilbert Crofton did not make his appearance until late. "Gilbert," said the little fiancee, who " cat reproachfully amid a crimson ava-lanche of apples, "what makes you so late?' ' ' 'Tve been busy," said Gilbert. "But never mind, so long as 1 am in time for the Virginia reel." And they walked home togethei through tlw snow drifts, talking hap-pily of wliat might be if only Grand-mother Maple's adamantino heart could be softened. Bnt, late though it was, with the old clock on the stroke of 1, there was a light shining redly from the keeping room windows, and through the uncur-- , tained casement they could see Grand-mother Maple marching up and down tho room like a sentinel on duty, her high heeled boots tappiug on the floor, her fingers instinctively wandering around and around the insido of her empty snuff box. Minny hurried into the room. "Why, grandmother," eriedshe,"wlmt-eve- r is the matter? Here are the logs all burned down to white ashes and the candle wick guttering, and yon in such a flutter as never was! What has hap- - . pened, grandmother?" Mrs. Maple turned her keen blue eyes upon her with an eipression like that of a sleep walker. "Minny, come in," said she; "and shut that door. Is that you, Gilbert Crofton, the great grandson of. Job? Come you in also. Children," with her old hands shaking as if palsy stricken, "Pre seen a ghot!" "Impossible!" cried Gilbert Crofton. "Dear grandmother, you must have been dreaming," soothed Minny, creep-ing up to her side and drawing her down into the old armchair beside the hearth, "Dreaming!" shrieked the old woman. "I was as wide awake as I am at this moment. I had been over to see Mrs. Muir's sick child, and it was close on 10 o'clock when I got back. And the min-ute I crossed the threshold I had that queer feeling of some one being in the room creep all over me. And there, sure enough, in the chair opposite, where he used to. sit thirty good year ago, wa! your Maple, with his eld- - cue wig and his suit of butternut Phase of Human Natura. They were waiting for the train at ft country station, 'xhere was a dreary looking; waiting room, 14 by 14, and there was a platform 70 feet long by 8 broad. The scenery consisted of one water tank, five freight cars, two fields, one pile of lumber, three telegraph poles and a small boy. The rain poured out-side. The two vomeu sat as far from each other as possible and regarded each other with suspicion and distrust. One seemed to be saying to herself: "If she is going to the lunatio asylum she should be looked after. Who ver saw any one come oat in such colors and mix things like that? Such persons are dangerous." And the other one remarked: "Must I wait here long in the company of that thing? What a looking head! What big feet and hands! Looks as if 6he was going to work on a farm." The two men who are strangers to each othor and to the women were fair, mild eyed specimens of the human race. They stood and looked at each other, and might have said to themselves: "Looks as if ; he had overdrawn 'his account at the bank. Seems to have an inno-cent look, but .that is all put on." And the other might have muBed:?"So here's the 'Rubber Kid'- - out on another expe-dition, but 111 spoil his game.- My, but hasn't he got a hardened" look!" But they did. nothing of the kind. While those women eat several feet apart, hud-dled up in an exclusive sort of way and their veils drawn, the men walked arm in arm, joked and smoked and talked stories and said they were glad to meet. They poked each other in tho ribs, called each other "old boy," borrowed some fine cut and every match they had was shared in lighting cigars. One of the women got up enough cour-age to ask the other for the time. The latter might be addressing the cook of an Erie canal scow, she thought, but re-plied that she had not the time. Then both shrank away under their veils and turned up their noses. When the train came along the men got into the same car and the same seat. The women came out with respective looks of dis-dain, entered separate coaches, and as the train moved away they were sorry they had noticed or spoken to each other and failed to stand on their individual dig-nity.

Tha population Is about 65,000, and Is Increasing at a rapid rate. It Is situated at the base of the Wastitcb mountains in a lovely valley, rich to agricul-tural resources and is eighteen miles distant fram Great Salt Lake. Its elevation above sea level is 4,350 feet. ' There are many points of interest to visitors in the city and near it. Here are some of tli em: ! The Temple. This magnificent cream-whit- e granite struc-- I turewas begun April 6. 1853. It IB 100x300 feet, the walls are 100 feet high, and the towers.when completed, will bo 800 feet in height. Over !,X),noo have been expended on the Temple, and It is now Hearing completion. In the same square with the temple is the s building called The Tabernacle. Here are held the services of the Mormon chinch, and these are attended every Sunday by immense congregations of people, both Mormon and Gentile, The structure is oval in shape, seventy-fiv- e feet high and ifiOxlM) feet in length and breadth. It has a seating capa-city of la.lKX) people, and here may be heard what is claimed to be the finest organ in the world. Patti once sang In the tabernacle, and demonstrated that its acoustic powers are very fine. The Garrio Mouse, or Amelia Palace, was built by Brigham Young who willed that it should be the residence of his favorite wife. Amelia Folsom Young, but since his death It has been used as the official residence of dignitaries of the church. Brigham Young's Residences, known as the Bee-Hiv- e and the Lion House are structures, curious from as-sociations. These are situated in what was once Brigham Young's domain, all of which has passed into other hands, save the large lot in which is Brigham Young's Grave. This can be reached by passing through the Kagle Gate, an archway in the old mud wall which at one time encompassed Brtgham's prl vate property. One or two of the prophet's wives repose beside his last resting place. A slab of granite covers the grave and there is space left near by for the graves of his other wives. lleseret Museum. This institution is situated on South Temple street, directly opposite Temple square. It contains a large number of interesting curios-ities, chiefly pertaining to the early history of Utah. It is well worth a visit Prospect I1U1 iwith its lookout tower commands a splendid 'view of the city and its surroundings. The Tithing Building possesses interest as being the general depot for taxes collected by the Mormon church from Its disciples. ' Liberty Park, In the southeastern portion of the city is a beautiful resort and can be reached by rapid transit trains. The Chamber of Commerce) on Second South street, is visited by those who take an Interest in the' commercial standing of the city. There are several large cases con-taining specimens of Utah's mineralogy which attract much attention. The Grand Opera Hons, on Second South street, is under able manage-ment and is handsomely and comfortably fitted up. Some of the best talent in the coun-try is constantly passing between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and Salt Lake City is always made a stopping place for performances, either the opera house or the Rait Lake Theater being selected. This latter place of amuse-ment was built by Brigham Young over thirty years ago. It is a large and beautiful temple and is comfortably arranged. Assembly Hall, ' near the temple, is used in winter for worship by the Mormons, the tabernacle being too large to admit of proper heating. Assembly hauls lUUxtW feet, and cost 1150.(100. The ceiling is dec-orated with church pictures, among them the Angnl Moroni disclosing the hiding placa of the golden plates to Joseph Smith. The Katatorium is a large circular bathing house, the center of which, under a glass roof, is a swimming pool. The water Is brought in pipes from Beck's Hot Springs. There are also a Jarge number of bath rooms. Electric Street Cars connect with every point of Interest In the city. The system Is fie and the appointments good. Rapid transit Is assured. Camp Douglas, three miles east of the city and over 400 feet above it, is beautifully laid out in the midst of lawns and orchards, and the barracks and houses of the ofllcers are built of stone. The post commands a wide view of the city and beyond where Great Salt. Lake lies like molten silver at the foot of the western mountains. Beck's Hot Springs are in the northern part of the city nhout three miles from the business renter. They Issue from the base of the mountains, and are regarded as a very valuable aid in cases of rheumatism. dyspepsia and scrofula. The waters are used both in-ternally and externally, and there is an excellent bath house and necessary appointments for the comfort of patients. The Warm Sulphur Springs are bet ween the Hot Springs ami the city, abnnt one mile from the posiottlce. There is a good hotel and comfortable bath house In connec-tion with the springs, and they can be reached by street railway. The Mountains are unsurpassed in canyons, and at loast a dozen of the grandest are within reach of the city. These invite the tourist to spend days, weeks or months among their wild recesses to tish, to hunt, to scale the peaks and ridges, and to gather wild flowers bv the sides of mossy springs, beneath the n:ide of umbrageous pines. Big Cottonwood canyon should be seen by every tourist. Here are lake Mary and Murthafrom which flows the turbulent Cottonwood river; and at. the base of the mountains arc lakes Blanche, Florence and Lillian. Besides these are Mills creek, ParleyV, Emigration, and City Creek canyons, all extremely picturesque and delightfully romantic. Fleant Drives abound in scores around the outskirts of the city: along the quiet country roads, and through the lanes divining meadows of rich greeu alfalfa and ttelds of grain; while the majestic mountains are never entirely lost sight of. From under the branches of" trees and above hedges of the wild dog-ros-glimpses are caught of snow.covered peaks. A drive to Fort Douglas, and then a mile further on to the mouth of Immigration canyon is most delightful. It was here that, the sight of the Mormon pioneers ww llrst made glad by the Vast expanse of Salt Lake valley bursting upon them, on tho Wth of July, 1847. The Great Salt Lake. . "I think." says ErncsUngersoll, "few per- sons realise how wonderfully, strangelv beautiful this inland sea is," and speaking of its sunsets Phil Robinson has said: "Where have I not seen sunsets, by land and sea, in Asia, Africa, Europe and America, and where can I say I have ever sn more wonderous coloring, more electrlfjliig effects than lu the sunset on the Great Salt Lake of Utah." Salt Lake is as beautiful a sheet of water as can he found anywhere. The waves are a bright blue or greeu. and as they dancer ou its surface it would be hard to tell which color prevails. It la dotted-wit- beautiful Islands, and it affords the finest salt water buthiua in the world. , Garfield Beach is within easy distance of the cltv being but eighteen miles of a ride by train. Here is four"! every luxurv and comfort for a dip a the mysterious sea. and also all the things nec-essary for the comfort of the inner man. The cafe affords enjoyable meals at reasonable prices, and row boats are to be had for a quiet pull" on the waters whichpossoss a romautio interest for every visitor. The management of the accommodations at Ganield Beach is under the direction of the Union Pacific Kail-wa- y company, as is that at Lake Park under the supervision of the Rio Grande West-ern. This resort is north of tho citv, about half way between Salt Lake and Pgdeii. and ia much frequented by visitors. It is similar in attractiveness to Garfield, and is well worth a 'visit. The Bnnest Walter. There was an occurrence not long ago In tho city of Minneapolis which well illustrated the making of virtue a ne-cessity and profiting thereby. A lady, than whose name there is none better known in the theatrical world, was play-ing an engagement at the Grand. She stopped, of course, at the West. One day she was engaged in looking over hor wardrobe, or a portion of it, in her room, and, being busy, had her luncheon sent to' her room. When it came her stage diamonds, made of the purest paste, were scattered about on the table, among them being a largo cross, heavily set with sparkling diamonds. It caught the eye of the waiter who brought up the tray, and, by a little juggling with his napkin, he securod it. He rushed downtown as soon as possi-ble, to, in vulgar parlance, "hock" it, but found that he could raise but fifty cents on it. He was a "smooth guy," so ho hastened back to the hotel, only to find that the lady had departed for the matinee performance. To tho theatre ho went, and, securing admission to the stage entrance on "pressing business from Miss , hotel." he found the lady and restored to her tho dia-mond cross, which, he plausibly set forth, had become entangled in n nap-kin. She had never even missed the or-nament, but sho was so delighted with the fellow's honesty that she bestowed on him a five dollar bill. This is a true story, and one which will not bo incor-porated, among those in the Sunday school bonks under tlie title, "The lii ward of Honfwtv'." St. Paul Glohe. Writing for the Newspapers. I am very frequently asked whether tho newspaper is the best starting point for young authors, and in this question lies, in nine cases out of ten, a grave misconception. Many young writers be-lieve that work rejected by the monthly magazine will find a market with the daily newspaper. It seems to be taken for granted that the same degree of care is unnecessary for newspaper work as for magazine writing. "The newspaper dies with the day, the magazine lives for a mouth," is tho general feeling, and hence the impression that ephemeral work will find a ready market with tho newspaper. It has been my pleasure to write for the newspaper press of America for six or seven years, and I give young writers a leaf from my experience when I ssy to them, do not allow yourselves to believe that minor work will find favor with the modorn American newspaper. There is just as much demanded of a writer in the newspaper editorial office as in that of the monthly nuigaziue. A writer commits the greatest mistake of her lifo when she looks upon the newspaper as a graduating school to tho magazine. The same standard of grammar and expres-sion set by the magazine holds good with newspapers. Edward W. Bok in Ladies' Home Journal. Woman's Gentleness. Mr. McLean Hold ou, Charley!

Little Tommy was ontertaining one of his sister's admirers until she ap-peared. "Don't you come to see my sister?" he inquired. "Yes, Tommy, that's what I come for." "You like her immensely, don't you?" "Of courso I ad.niro her very much, Don't you think she's nice?" "Well, I have to, 'cause ahe's my sis-ter; but she thumps me pretty hard sometimes. But let's see you open your mouth once. Now shut it tight till I count ten. There I knowed you could doit!" "Why, Tommy, who said I couldu't?" "OU, nobody but sister!" "What did she say?" "Well, she said you hadn't senso enough to keep' your mouth shut, and I bet her two big apples you had; and you have, haven't you? And you'll make her ' stump up the apples, won't you?" The young man did not wait to see whether she would "stump up" or not. New York Ledger. , Extremes Meet. "Is this Miss Handy, tho manicure?' inquired the caller, pleasantly.
