One Year's Subscription to the

WHAT time is it, Madeline?"
asked Gaffer Hitchcock,
carefully folding the even-ing
paper and placing it on the table.
The person addressed—a tall, slen-der
woman about thirty-five—looked
up from her knitting and answered
with a pleasant smile: "About half
past eight, I believe," and rising, began
to put away her work.
Gaffer's question had been for the
last six years the signal for retiring to
rest, and although it was lull an hour
and a half before the usual hour,
Madeline neyer thought for a moment
of hesitating to obey.
" Something has occurred," she
thought, "and he will tell me be-fore
long," for Gaffer had looked at
his watch at eight, and a few minutes
after, and at a quarter past had
changed his chair and coughed un-easily,
and now he asked: " What
time is it ?"
Madeline was the orphan daughter
of an old schoolmate; Gaffer had
taken her home with him when she
waa only 10 years old, and his sister
cared for her with motherly solicitude
until she was wooed and won by Frank
Reynolds and went to a distant city to
liye. G .ffer had made a terrible to do
about her marrying, called her an un-grateful
good-for-nothing, and declared
it was proper punishment for taking
her in the beginning; but, neverthe-less,
be spared no expense on the
wedding trousseau. And when, about
nine years after, she came back to her
old home, widowed and childless, she
was tenderly welcomed by the lonely
man, for the grass waved over the
grave of the good, true hearted sister.
For six years she kept house for
him, humored him, and made every-thing
bend to his comfort, as few
daughters ever do. Lovers she had in
plenty ; those who would at any mo-ment
have laid heart, fortune and
hand at her feet; and when Gaffer
heard that Madeline had refused them
he chuckled at their discomfi.ure and
smoothed her soft brown hair, telling
her she was a good girl, every way
worthy of their love, only he knew
that she would neyer leave him.
He had grown as accustomed to see
ing her happy, contented face by the
opposite side of the fire, with some
kind of work in her hands that occu-pied
neither brain nor attention, but
left her always free to listen to him
when he spoke, that he felt no fear at
the attention she received. He seldom
spent an evening from home unless
Madeline was with him; and he had
never left his native city since she
came home. He was thinking of all
this to-night, as he watched her fold-ing
her work so carefully.
" What are you going to do, Made-line
?" he asked at last.
" Going to put away my work," she
answered, simply.
" What are you putting it away
for?"
"You ask the time, and that is
equivalent to saying: ' I am tired of
you, Madeline ; go to bed.'"
" No, it ain't," said Gaffer, gruffly ;
" come back here, I want to talk with
you—there, let that knitting work
alone. What is it, that you are in
such a hurry to finish it ?"
" Stockings," answered Madeline,
sententiously ; " stockings for Madeline
Reynolds."
Gaffer eat for a few moments in per-fect
silence; at last, with a violent ef-fort
and with very much the air of a
man who has just made up his mind to
baye a tooth pulled, said :
" Maddy, I am going away."
" Going away ?" she repeated.
" Where to, pray ?"
The tone of surprise in which the
question was asked fully satisfied Gaf-fer
of the importance of the revelation.
" Yes; I am going to New York'
Bocnehue is going to be married on
New Year's day, and wants me to be
groomsman. Who would have thought
old Bonnehue would have got married
at last ? Why, he's at least 10 years
older than I, and I am most 50. You
see, Maddy, child, your old bachelor
friend is not too old to get married
yet. Dreadful pity leap year is most
over. Here I am, a hale, hearty man,
in the prime of life, and no wife forth-coming.
But what makes you so
quiet—don't you want me to go ?"
"No," said Madeline, gravely,
would rather you would not go. I had
made different calculations for New
Year's; in fact, I rather think of get-ting
married myself."
" Madeline, are you crazy ?" and
Gaffer fairly bounded in his chair with
astonishment. " Why, what will be-come
of me? I'll starye, I know
shall."
" You might live with me," remark
ed Maddy, in the grave, business like
tone.
" You know very well," said Gaffer
testily, " that I could never live with
another man in the house ; I should
put him out before the honeymoon was
over* And who may the happy man
be? Some blind old dotard? Some
conceited dandy ? Some lame mendi-cant
? Some lazy vagabond, who sings
love ditties to carry away Gaffer's
money ? Or—or—"
Gaffer did not stop for lack of breath,
but for lack of sufficiently expressive
words to convey his detestation of the
projected union.
" No," said Madeline ; " he is not
blind, or lame, or seeking after your
fortune." She hesitated for a moment,
and then continued slowly : " He is
neither very young nor very old, very
kind nor very cross, very good nor
very bad, very rich nor very poor—
but I think he likes me."
" Of course he has told you so in
most affecting tones," muttered Gaffer,
ironically.
" No," she said, quickly, " he has
not."
" Madeline, you aro crazy, or going
into a dotage ! Why did you not tell
me that you were so anxious to get
married and I would have advertised
in all the daily papers for 'a lover for
a widow not very far advanced in life,
well preserved and anxious to leave
Gaffer Hitchcock ? Why did yon not
tel! me all this ?'' and his face clouded
woefully. " It's too bad, Maddy ! I
would never have believed you would
go away again. It was bad enough
to leave me when sister was here, but
now, now, why, Maddy Maddy ; think
better of it—do, and don't leave me
alone, child."
Madeline's fingers worked nervously.
How she longed for the knitting work !
" Gaffer," she said, without looking up,
perhaps to-morrow you will nOÈ feel
so badly about it. It is no sudden
thing, my determination to get mar-ried
; I have thought about it for
over a year, and yet last night I would
have said there was no telling when
the wedding would take place."
Poor Gaffer seemed perfectly undone
at the news Madeline had imparted,
but at her last words he started from
his seat, and, drawing up a chair, took
a seat in front of her. " It ia.aot too
late, then," he said, his face radiant
with hope. " You can yet retreat.
Oh ! by the memory of past days ; by
the solemn agreement I entered into
with your father, to guard his little
girl ; by all the years I have loved
and striven to serve you, do not leave
me now. You know it would be tak-ing
away my life to part with you."
He took the two cold hands in his.
" Will you leave me? Dare you leave
me ? Still no answer. " If you would
be happy away from me, my dear girl,
say so, and Gaffer will not say another
word. Speak, Maddy, speak ! Don't
mind me."
The face of the woman was ayerted,
but the words, though soft and tremu-lous,
were distinctly heard by the anx-ious
man before her : " I never said I
was going to leave you. If ever I
marry again it will be to be forever
near you."
The look of anxiety on Gaffer's face
gave place to one of bewilderment and
then utter astonishment. " Do you
mean what you say ?" he asked.
" I do, and it is for you to judge
whether he is a blind old dotard, a
conceited dandy or after Gaffer's
money."
Then Gaffer rose, walked across the
room and took his old seat, picked up
the evening paper and asked : " What
time is it ?"
" Half-past nine. Good night."
" Good night," he answered as if
nothing had happened, and Madeline
put the knitting in her work basket
and left the room.
The next ffioraing at the usual hour
the bell was rung and Gaffer walked
down to the breakfast table in dressing
gown and slippers to see Madeline ar-ranging
the cups and saucers in her
own quiet, precise way. They talked
very quietly together until Madeline
asked : " When are you going to New
York, Gaffer ?"
"Not till after the first of the
month, for I expect to be married on
New Year's day myself."
There was nothing more said, and if
Maddy ate little, Gaffer ate
" Maddy," he said, when they had ad-journed
to the library, " you are a
very sensible girl, and I never knew
before last night that I seeded a wife,
but I am fifteen years older than you,
and what will the world say ?"
" You suit me," she answered, put-ting
up her face for a kiss, " and we
will not invite the 'world' to the wed
ding."
What do the Children Drink ?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-0 ? It is delicious and nourish
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-0 you giye the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-0 is made of
pure grains, and when properly pre-pared
tastes like thé choice grades of
coffee but costs about £ as much. All
grocers sell it. 15a. and 25c.

Interesting Notes and Comments on
Persons, Places and Things.
THESE are busy times in the house-hold
of the farmer. True, the season
is somewhat on the wane, but there re-mains
much to be done before the end
is reached that marks the completion
of the season. One of the great events
of the season is the making of cider
and its consequent applebutter boiling,
which is now about drawing to a close.
Just how many crocks of the delect-able
applebutter have been sealed and
stored away for the winter by the busy
and far-seeing farmers' wives in Lan-caster
county the past two months can-not
well be told in figures, but with
the proud record of its wonderful riches
in the agricultural line, the output of
the county must be an enormous one
and would feed many regiments. Add
to this the other yarious butters that
are never forgotten by the good house-wife,
it is safe to say that the " spread-ings
" turned out in this county alone
would spread out for miles and miles
and startle with amazement the city
boarding-house fiend who never gets a
sight of applebutter, or any other
butter for that matter except the oleo-margarine
kind, from one year's end to
the other.
THERE is nobody who has had the
good fortune to grow up in the country
but remembers the cider press, nor one
whose thirst is not aroused as he
thinks of its product. The " old oaken
bucket that hung by the well," or that
hung in any other place, was not in it
with the old tin cup that hung by the
cider barrel, or the joint of wheat
straw that served to elevate it to the
lips through the bunghole. The cider
press of the old days, the instrument
that produced the hard cider which
was such an element in the days of
" Tippecanoe and Tylor too," was a
por.derous and primitive affair consist-ing
of a long wooden sweep to the end
of which a horse was hitched, which,
operating a pair of wooden rollers,
crushed the apples as they were
shoveled into a hopper and deposited
them in a trough. From there they
were shoveled on to the bed of the
press upon a layer of rye straw, which
waa so arranged that the protrnding
ends could be turned up, forming a
strainer which would hold the solid
parts of the apples and allow the juice
to escape. Layer after layer of the
rich, juicy pumice, as it was called, was
piled up in this way, and then the
pressure was applied by means of a
huge wooden screw which caused the
cider to flow in a rich brown stream
into a large tub, from which it was
again strained through straw into a
barre.'.
» * *
WHILE not nearly so much of the
juice of the apples was obtained by the
old method as by the new fangled and
much more rapid machines of the pres-ent
day, which are operated by horse,
steam and water power, and which do
the work much more rapidly and with
less labor, the greater pressure of the
new machines has not added to the
quality or palatableness of the product.
Following the making of the cider
comes the making qf the delicious ap-plebutter,
which consists in boiling the
cider to a certain consistency and add
ing a sufficient quantity of sweet ap
pies and spices. The eyent is one of
great importance on the farm, as it re-quires
a large quantity of 'apples-,,
which have to be pared and quartered»
Even here the machine has made ita
inroads in the way of the little, but use-ful
appleparer, which does the work
thoroughly and rapidly. The prepara-tion
of the apples is often made the oc-sioa
of a friendly gathering the
evening preceding, and a merry tins©
there is in store for those gathered as
the " snitzing," as it is more commonly
called.

CIDER is still the great rural winter
beverage, and its popularity extends lo
the cities as well, evidence of which is
seen in the numerous signs displayed
of " Cider, 5 cents a glass." Wfoile
there are lots of formulas for preserv-ing
cider, there are none of them tbat
can catch it at its best and keep it
that way, and no one knows what a
really delicious beverage it is unless he
has tracked it to Its native iair. The
best cider is that made from late ap-ples
in the latter part of October. For
a short time after it is barreled it is a
sweetish, rather insipid drink, but in a
few days the little microbe of fermen-tation
gets into it, and if the weather is
cool works rather slowly. In a week
or ten days, however, it will have
entirely changed the nature of the
liquid, It will still be sweet, but near-ly
all the impurities will have settled
to the bottom, leaving ifc a sparkling
translucent liquid that bubbles like
champagne and that, in palatableness
and in its delightful titillation of the
thirst nerves, no champagne can ever
equal. Then is the time to suck it
through a straw, as many a farmer's
boy can testify. To get ita full flavor
it should be taken direct through the
bunghole, for its peculiar qualities,
when it is at its best, are so evanescent
that even the act of drawing it from
the barrel has a somewhat deteriorat-ing
effect.
* * *
THEKE is a fortune awaiting the
man who devises a process to arrest
the development of cider when it is at
its best and to hold it in that condi-tion.
He will give to mankind as de-licious,
wholesome and nutritious a
beverage as has ever been imbibed by
man. As soon as cider passes this
stage, and it remains there but a short
time, it begins to deteriorate and fall
from its high estate. The germs which
have thus far produced such delightful
and praiseworthy results keep at work
developing alcohol in the liquid, it
loses its sweet taste and sparkle and
becomes hard cider. To tarry long
with it then is worse than to look upon
the wine while it is red. It is a jag
producer of no mean power and one
that the indulger will have cause to
remember. But fortunately the placid
lives of our country cousins do not
create the »desire for such powerful
stimulants, otherwise it would un-doubtedly
lead to the revival of the
crusade against the apple orchards
which a generation ago was organized
by the temperance folk.
* * *
THE printing press may be a power
in the land, but not more so than is
the cider press among the farmers.

Another Train Robbery.
Fort Worth, Tex. : The south-bound
Rock Island express train was
held up shortly before noon at a siding
north of Chickasha, in the Indian ter-ritory.
There were 6 men in the band
and the express and mail cars as well
as the passengers were robbed. They
got about 13,000 in money and some
pins and watches. The robbers bad
intended to wreck the train by throw-ing
it in on a switch, but the train
slowed up for a hot box and the lives
of the passengers were saved.
Under the pressure of Winchesters
and ugly looking six shooters, the
trainmen, the express messengers and
all of the score or more of passengers
were made to climb down from the
train and stand in a line, hands up, on
the prairie along the railway.
While three of the robbers covered
the badly frightened crowd with their
guns, the other two coolly and careful-ly
robbed them.
The registered mail pouches were
quickly rifled, but the through safe in
the express car resisted all the force
and ingenuity of the road agents.
When the messenger had convinced
the bandits that be could not open the
strong box they resorted to dynamite.
Several heavy charges were explo-ded,
but the safe proved bandit proof,
though it was badly battered. Having
taken possession of everything that
they could carry away the bandits
mounted their horses and rode off to
the west.
THE GREATER OAK HAIiIi.
The Motherly Landlady.
A friend of mine changed his board-ing
place last week, going to one of
those houses that advertise home com-forts
and a motherly landlady, which
generally means that she is a person
who will pry into one's private affairs
and read long letters left lyi-Jg about.
This particular landlady happens to
regard drinking and smoking as parti-cular
devices of the eyjl one, so when
my friend began to praise a new brand
of tobacco at the dinner table the
other night she saw her chance and
promptly shipped into the conversa-tion.
"Smoking makes men utterly sel-fish,"
she said, as a starter, enunciating
her woida as if she were sawing ice into
symmetrical blocks.
My friend was dazed for a moment,
for be bad not much experience with
people who denounce everything as
wrong which they covered and answer-ed
: " Possibly go, but after all it's a
standoff, for abstinence from smoking
seems to make people deucedly impo-lite
; or possibly you indulge a little ?
So many of the ladies enjoy their
cigarettes nowadays."
Then the storm broke.
News About the New Outfitting: Store
tor Women and Men—Oak Hall now
a Store for Everybody.
We make no apology for borrowing
a half column of sity news for this
issue on the new move of our old busi-ness
friends, Wanamaker & Brown.
Nobody ever thought of the old cor-ner
at 6th and Market, except as the
house that had been head and front of
the clothing trade for men and boys
for thirty-six years.
They have gone into the clothing
business as big as ever this season,
but by pushing the tables a little closer
all around, and gathering a little room
here and there, they have got almost
two big floors empty and filled again
with new clothing for women, misses
and little girls.
It is an entirely new thing for the
house. There is one whole floor filled
with women's cloaks, suits, wraps,
opera cloaks, tea gowns, and all the
other goods for outer wear for ladies ;
and as a part of that business they
have cloths for making ladies' gowns
and wraps to measure, jast as desired.
These are to be made by men tailors,
thereby giving them the highest stamp
of skill and finished workmanship.
At least one-fuurth of the stock has
been imported and just brought
through the Custom House—fresh from
the Paris, London and Berlin makers.
While Mr. J. A- Hudson, the man-ager
of this new department, was
abroad, he ordered a stock of hats, bon-nets,
toques and other new conceits in
ladies' head gear, made expressly to the
order of Wanamaker & Brown, and
these make the first show of millinery.
These two—the ladies' cloak and suit
room and millinery room—have been
commodiously arranged on the second
floor.
Immediately underneath the ladies'
cloaks on the first floor is the room
for misses' and children's cloaks and
suits.
In another part of the first floor a
department for the uale of women's and
misses, men's and boys' shoes, has been
opened, and alongside of it—men's and
boys' hats.
The building alterations to accom-plish
the needed selling space have al-most
transformed the old store. The
familiar old broad stairway to the sec-ond
floor has disappeared, and the
large transom space has been floored
over (a modest stairway replacing the
old one), and an unbroken second floor
secured thereby. Some of the old sky-light
spaces have been closed with
heavy green glass, turning the space
into selling room ; the old picture gal-lery
front wall on 6th street front, and
the whole long side of the store made
an unbroken range of glass in window
and door.
The opening day, Wednesday,1 Sep-tember
29, was a study in multitudes
and comments. The hours passed in a
medley of sight seeing and buying. Not.
withstanding the very broad invitation
to make the day a day of nothing but
seeing the new things, many were irre-pressibly
bent on buying, and spent
their money in opening day purchases.
The store was in holiday garb for
the opening—palms in corners of room
or perched on tables or windows sills,
relieved here and there with the
sparkle of dahlia and aster and roses.
From the earliest business hour the
store was thronged with sight-seers of
the city and suburbs and country
towns admiring and trying on and
commenting on the new sights of beau-tiful
goods and the many changes that
had come over the store.
There is no doubt that this new
move of Wanamaker & Brown will
bring the store a new glory to add to
its old fame as a clothing house. The
women and misses will bs as eager
now to go to it as the men always have
been.
Success to the new storekeepers for
us all.

—According to a celebrated anato-mist
there are upwards of 5,000,000
little glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour out the digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the food.
Indigestion is want of juice, weakness
of glands, need of help to r astore the
health of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,
because it supplies the materials need-ed
by the glands to prepare the diges-tive
juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the
stomach, until they are able to do their
work alone. . Shaker Digestive Cordial
cures indigestion certainly and per-manently.
