ONLY JIM
H, Aunt Ellen, is it really you?
Well, this is a surprise, and you
don i know how glad I am to see you,”
exclaimed Gertrude, as she opened the
door. "Do come right in. You must ex
cuse the way 1 look.” she continued,
apologetically, as she glanced down at
her torn wrapper; "I've been house
cleaning this afternoon, and 1 thought 1
| wouldn't dress for supper, as long as
tliere’d be only Jim. We'll come right
j upstairs, and you can rest while I make
myself respectable.”
The elder lady followed her upstairs
1 to a pretty, daintily furnished room.
"There,” exclaimed the young wife
as she set down her guest's umbrella
and valise, "this is my guest room.
How do you like it?”
Her aunt surveyed the room ap
provingly.
"By
MRS. ELSIE D. GALE

"Very nice, indeed." was her com
ment. “The pink paper is lovely, and
those ruffled curtains are as pretty as
can be. That’s just what 1 like, a nice
easy chair and footstool, and I'm so
tired I’ll try it right away.”
"I have a number of my wedding pres
ents in here," continued the younger
woman. “Jim’s grandmother gave me
the hemstitched sheets and pillow cases
and shams. That Madonna over the bed
I guess you remember. Lucy Wheeler
gave it to me. Those etchings were pres
ents. too. l.’ncle John gave me the rock
er. Jim bought the chiffonier last
spring, and I made the scarf and the pink
pin-cushion. His sister embroidered
that apple blossom pillow* for me; she
does such lovely work. Now I'll go
and dress, and you rest till supper time,
for there’s an hour yet."
An hour later they sat at the supper
table, at which Gertrude, in a pretty
sprigged lawn dress, presided. The
beefsteak was done to a turn, the bis
cuits were delicately browned, the cut
glass dish of peaches was flanked by a
pitcher of rich cream. In the center of
the table stood a low bowi of pink and
white sweet peas, harmonizing w ith the
delicate china.
Jim. as he took his place at the head of
the table, glanced at his wife with
mingled Surprise and approbation.
"How pretty you look in that dress.
Gertie, with your hair ail fluffy. I al
ways liked that blue dress, and what a
fine supper you've gotten for us. hasn’t
she, Aunt Ellen?"
His wife flushed with pleasure at the
unwonted praise.
“I thought I would get out all my nice
china and best tablecloth in honor of
auntie." she explained, "and 1 found
just a few blossoms on the sweet peas
for a centerpiece. I haven’t had this
china out for a good while. You see
there’s only Jim and the children at sup
per. so it really isn’t worth while.”
After the meal was over, the dishes
"'ONLY JIM IS ALL TIIE WORLD
TO ME.”
washed and the two children in bed. the
! aunt and niece sat together on the porch,
while Jim excused himself to go to the
post office for the mail.
"Before I go to bed, Gertie.” said her
aunt. "I’m going to get you to play some
thing for me. 1 always liked your play
ing. Don’t you remember how 1 did?”
Gertrude shook her head. “Oh. I can’t
play a tune through now." she admitted,
reluctantly; "1 don’t really have time
for my music. I'm sorry, too, for Jim’s
real fond of music, but somehow I’ve got
ten my hand out. so 1 rarely touch the
piano now. You see I 1: so much sew
ing for the children to co. and the ho _-t -
work, so the time goes."
The week of Aunt Ellen's stay passed
rapidly, and the day before her depar
ture she sat upon the piazza assisting
her niece in the task of darning stock
ings.
"Well. Gertrude," observed the elder
lady, as she critically examined a well
worn heel, “you seem to be pretty well
fixed. Jim is a fine fellow, the children
are real good, and you’ve got a nice
cozy little home.”
There was no reply, and she was sur
prised to see a tear trickle down the
, young wife’s face and fall upon the blue
sock she was mending.
"Why, what’s the matter, child? Has
anything gone wrong?”
“Oh. nothing." leplled her niece, hast
ily, as she wiped her eyes. “It's only,
well. I’ve got a good notion to tell you
all alK>ut it. I never meant to tell a
living soul, but I'm not happy, though 1
suppose I ought to be.”
“Why. what's the trouble, little girl?"
Gertrude bent lower over her work.
“Well, auntie. I’ve always said I hated
a jealous wife, and I know Jim loves me
better than anyone else. But he doesn’t
seem to care about staying at home any
more, and lots of times he goes over to
1 he Deane’s to spend the evening. I can’t
go. for I can’t leave the children alone in
the house. But sometimes I sit here, and
I hear Mrs. Deane playing the piano, and
Jim singing, and it just hurts me ter
ribly. There.” she said with a little
catch in her voice, “I didn’t mean to tell
anyone,for it doesn’t seem loyal to Jim.
He’s real good to me. and gets me every
thing he can afford, but 1 guess I'm get
ting old and faded.” She wiped her eyes
and took up the blue sock again.
“I don’t see why you should feel badly
about his going out in the evenings.” re
plied iter aunt, calmly, "as long as it's
only Jim.”
uertruue dropped the ball er naming
cotton in her surprise.
“Why. what do you mean?” she asked,
astonished.
“My dear child.” replied her aunt,
kindly, “during the week 1 have been
here, I don't know howr many times I
have heard you use the expression:
’(inly Jim.’ You didn’t always trouble to
make yourself pretty for supper, be
cause there was only Jim. You didn't
take particular pains about setting the
table attractively, because it was only
for Jim. 1 noticed that while the guest
room was really artistic, yours was
plain and unattractive, because it was
only for Jim. My dear girl." she con
tinued, "Jim is the dearest one on earth
to you and the most important. I can re
member when he used to come and call
on you before you were married, how
you used to fix yourself up for him. and
look so pretty and sweet when he came
to call. Now you are just as good look
ing as you ever were, only you just w ant
to cultivate a little of the care you used
to take of your personal appearance. 1
know it makes a difference when you are
doing your own work, but Jim would be
delighted if you would always take
pains to look fresh and dainty when he
came home.
"Don’t wear wrappers to do your
in; they are for invalids. A shirtwaist
and a washable skirt are much neater
and trimmer. Then about your music.
I can remember how' you used to play for
Jim to sing, and how he enjoyed it. Take
up your music again, even if it is only
for ten minutes a day. and you'll soon be
able to play his accompaniments again.
Maybe it seems odd to you to hear an old
maid like me giving advice about hus
bands. but I have lived a good bit long
er than you. my dear, and I've used my
powers of observation. A great deal of
this world’s happiness is based on
trifles, or what appear to be trifles.
Now,” she concluded, “I think I've
preached enough, but I think if you
take my advice you’ll be happier.”
Gertrude threaded a needle medita
tively.
“Well,” she said, after a moment's
reflection, “I believe you are right,
auntie. 1 have felt as if as long as I
was Jim’s wife, and he loved me, it
didn't make any particular difference.
So I wasn't always particular about
fixing myself up when he came home
from the store But I'll try your plan,
and I’ll take up my music. I love Jim
dearly, and I didn’t want to feel that
he was growing away from me.”
As her aunt left on the following
morning, Gertrude bade her an affec
tionate good-by.
“I’m so glad you came, auntie,” she
said, “for you don’t know how I've
enjoyed your visit."
“Yes, indeed,” corroborated her hus
band. “Gertie has looked ten years
i younger since you’ve been here. I sup
i o e it is rather dull for her here with
jo b me and the children.”
' ; the stage drove away Gertrude
tur-’-d to her husVtand and slipped
her and in his.
i’t say ‘only me.’ dear.” she

WHERE TENNESSEEANS CO
Texas and Arkansas Get Most of
Those Who Leave the
State.
The last census report, made in the
year 1900, gives some interesting lig
ores shewing the contribution;-, mail
by Tennesseeans to the population of
other states and territories. That re
port shows that there were when the
census of that year was taken, 2,292.
885 persons in tlie United Srn cs win.
were horn in the state of Tennessee
The entire population in thi: .r.te, in
eluding those not born he;c war
2.020.616. We mention a few state
that show in their population a large
number of native Tennesseeans:
Alabama. 31 "V .Mississippi ■>
ArKansas. M.«44 Missouri . *4,973
Georgia. 11,965 Texas.luO.fs*
iiitiois.. 32 471 <ansas . 14,79*/
Kentucky, . 59,500 ndlana. IJ.IM
These are some of the state to wliicii
Tennessee has contributed largely to
swelling their population; but they
ate by no means all. When the cen
sus was taken there were 18,149 Ten
nsseeans in Indian territory. In New
York there were 2.518 of them, an j
there was not a state in the union or a
territory in which there were not pet
rous who were born in Tennessee.
Of course the loss of native popula
tion was made up in some degree by
the presence here of men and women
who wrere born in other states. While
Tennessee contributed 2,513 to the
population of New York, there were in
tin? state 4,093 that were born in New
York. But while this state eontrib
tiled to the population of Illinois, that
i state contributed to th» population of
this only 6.707. But the showing of th a
state in comparison with Texas is tils
worst; while we had in our population
when the census was taken only 694
j native Texans. Texas showed up with
130,389 persons born in Tennessee as
shown above. We had 19.496 persons
born in the state of Arkansas, but Ar
kansas had 84.644 born in Tennessee.
There is scarcely a western state in
which there is not a larga number of
Tennesseeans.
