Ah Pertinent Question.
What are you doing to keep the
town clean? An ounce of preven
tion is worth many pounds of cure,
and many of the cases of malaria
typhoid and other diseases could be
prevented by the homely, but effic
ient method of “swatting" the fly
by screening out the mosquito and
oiling the pools where its larvae
hatch out. The prevalence ol
small pox in the United States was
reduced by the application of scien
tific methods: the awful prevalence
of typhoid and malaria could be
most materially checked by intelli
gent application of -seme of the
most simple rules of sanitation and
i hygiene. Take it as you will it is
| filth and nothing but filth that
makes the spread of disease germs
possible. Filthy water where mos
quitoes breed; filth where flies
breed. Get rid of these and the
sources of contamination and Hut
tig will be healthier, wealthier anc
| wiser.

The fond parent sat in a low rock
ng-chair, darning stockings. The
havoc wrought by the km nd toes
if three stout boys was suflii ii-nt to
ngage her most serious attention;
hut her needle slid in and out auto
matically. and what she saw was not
ihe fast-filling chasm through which
her plump fingers yet shone, but the
lace of the football youth, with its
setting of bushy hair, its cerulean
eyes, and the hit of down which was
to the eye of faith an incipient inns
tache.
He had come to college a raw fresh
man onlv the year hefore. and he
livpri with his aunt across Hip way.
At thp limp of his arrival Hip Lily
Maid wore a pigtail and abbreviated
kirts, and her indifference to the ad
miring glances of the college youths
was to the Fond Parent's eye a beauti
ful and touching tiling. 1'nfortunately
if was not destined to last. Hut the
Lily Maid was a gentlewoman, and if.
luring that magic year, as her skirts
descended and her pigtail aspired, she
began to notice the ripple of pleasnr
ible interest which lier morning walk
oust the college campus invariably oc
casioned. she gave no sign, but went
•altniy on, as usual, to the door of the
select Seminary for Young I.allies, of
which institution she was the acknowl
edged ornament and pride
It was late in (tie spring before (he
Football Youth mustered (outage to
call with his aunt. The Lily Maid
was. by that time, a creature not to
lie resisted. Sl.e had made several of
Iter summer gowns herself, and if the
Fond Parent rather disapproved of the
ittle train, she was too proud of the
voting dressmaker's skill to say so;
tie pigtail had also finished its jour
ney. and rested on the little head in a
fluffy golden heap. Outwardly, the
Lily Maid was a young lady. Inwardly,
she was a very shy little girl; and
when the Footfall Youth's visit was
nded, and sh“ cuddled down in the
Fond Parent's capacious lap for one
of their frenuent private chats, she
ilainly intimated that she thought the
vouug man a bore; and that her own
three brothers were really the only on
joye.ble boys in town —a sentiment
which the Fond Parent frankly shared
It.developed that the Football Youth
was an orphan, and he naturally spent
he summer with his aunt, so much
■ :f the stimmei', that is to say, as he
did not spend on the Fond Parent's
veranda with the Lily Maid. The
Fond Parent watched him sharply
enough, and was forced to admit to
herself that he seemed really quite a
nice child, lit a moment of indiscre
ion she presented this opinion of him
to the Lily Maid, and was pained to
•eeeive the information, enthusiasti
■ally given, that he was a sophomore
n college, that he was head "man"
>n the college team, and that he would
he twenty years old on the seven
teenth of next April. This was not
ong before college reopened, and the
Lily Maid entered upon her senior
vear at the Young Ladies' Select sem
inary. Next year she was to go lo the
Woman's college at Lynchburg: and
Hie Fond Parent now regarded those
halls of learning as a haven of refuge,
provided the child could hi* landed
there with her heart intact.
Hut trouble was evidently brewing.
She was blossoming out in a reallv
miraculous way, while the Football
Youth was positively radiant, even
to (lie prongs of his auburn hair
When, in their confidential chats, the
Fond Parent carelessly introduced his
name, the Lily Maid fell suddenly si
cut, and atoned for her reticence with
liipassioned squeezes, which took the
Fond Parent's breath in more senses
than one. Hut that sagacious lady.
troubled though she was. knew better
ban to snatch at an unripe confidence,
which was sure to drop into her hand
it last : so she watched with keen eyes
which wor# amused and anxious by
urns; and though site seemed to see
nothin? when the Lily Maid looked
her way. she spread so many snares
for the unsuspecting child, that the
latter went her way with a happy con
sciousness that when the time catne
it would not he at all a difficult thing
to pour her tale into the Fond Parent’s
ear.
It came about, however, as such
things usually do. in quite an ttnstis
pect.ed way. A sudden change catne
over the Lily Maid. For several days
she went quietly, almost silently, about
the house; she no longer turned her
head when the maid returned from a
trip to the front door; her appetite
flagged; and the Fond Parent was
Quite sure, more than once, when she
went as usual to the child's bedside
at night, to see that she was comfort
ably tucked in, that Lily Maid was
wide awake, though she lay quite still
with closed eyes, and gave no sign
that she felt the good-night kiss, when
it softly touched her cheek in the ac
customed place. The situation was
clear, even luminous, without the add
ed fact that the Football Youth had
disappeared from the Fond Parent's
horizon.
Having diagnosed the case the next
step was to apply the remedy. It was
dearly providential that just at this
juncture a belated circus came to
town; the throe boys, promptly
shipped In the scene of action in the
ati ol a big cousin, were sale until
ale bedtime; and the Fond Parent, af
re< tionate and artless, turned off the
electric light that the two might en
joy the first firelight chat of the sea
son.
It was a delicate operation, but it
was performed with the skill of a
master, and the idly Maid, who had
been positive that her heart was
crushed for life, was amazed to real
ize that the mangled organ, as its
weight of woe was rolled on the Fond
Parent’s ample bosotn. was rapidly re
turning to something like its norma!
shape. In fact, there remained but one
wound which threatened serious con
| sequences, and that was the injury to
the Mly Maid's self-respect. It was
* not so horrible, after all, that they
1 should have quarreled; red headed
people were almost always high-tem
pered; and she frankly admitted that
his hair was red. though hitherto she
! had spoken of it as auburn; and, of
; course, if a person chose to go with
nt her girls—with another girl-—and
send her (lowers, and lend her his so
1 ciety pin, a person would scorn to
] care, declared the l.ilv Maid, with a
little tremor in her voice; hut there
was something else, she added with a
gasp. nurytng npr linin' in tno rnmi
Parent's neck gear, ant! squeezing her
very hard. She had given him a lock
of her hair—w hen he kept on begging
and when she gave it to him he had
kissed her hand, and lie must have
thought sin- eared, heeanse she didn't
got mad. and she had eared, anti he
knew it. and lie didn't rare at all! She
wished she was dead. She would never
get over it \^d she knew that it
'.as the other girl lit' had liked all the
itne. She wouldn't tnintl it so tnneli
if lie had eared, hut now she was tlis
’.raped: site eould never look anybody
it the fare again.
The Pond Parent held her very close
md spoke almost in a whisper. She
remembered her father, tlitl she not"
she asked the l,il\ Maid. The latter
raised her head suddenly, lor even
now her mother spoke of him only
with an effort, and tinder pressing
need. Site felt a sudden sense of dig
nity. of intlniaey, of sharing her moth
et's confidence, ti"t as a child, hilt as
a woman. The Football Youth seemed
suddenly of small consequence. She
remembered her father perfectly, and
| ttie memory was full of pride and
iov. It had been impossible for the
Football Youth to make any very rapid
headway with her until she had per
suaded herself that he would become,
in time, very much such a man as her
father had been. Just now this idea
| appeared absurd. Hut her mother was
! speaking again. Her father had loved
a woman many years—that was before
she knew him. He itad loved the
woman deeply, but when, at last, they
were about to be married, she had
jilted him, aud given her hand lu a
more bo.v, younger than herself, whose
prospect of wealth seemed greater
than her father's. Would she lose re
spect for her father now, because he
had eared so much, and given his love
where it was neitl er appreciated nor
returned? The Lily Maid's eyes
flashed. Her mother pressed iter head
gently down on her shoulder again
and went on. it was a terrible thing
for her father; it was years before
he had eared for another woman—
for her: but this that had come to her
I 'ittle girl was just a breath of the
future, a faint prophecy of the time
when her heart should awaken, not
for a boy, but for a man. It was just
that the time had come for her to stir
in her sleep; anyone else would have
done as well as the Football Youth.
It would soon pass.
The eyes of the IJly Maid, as she
kissed Iter mother, were not altogether
incredulous, and in the days that fol
lowed site brightened visibly. It was
easy to talk now : and if site *elt again
Hie chills and fever of despondency
-he knew where to go for help. The
Fond Parent attended Iter contains
cence with a light heart, thankful for
the mild attack, and hopeful that her
treasure was now immune. As a re
ward for good conduct, and also as a
precaution against the evil effects of
idleness, she sent her to visit relatives
in Washington during the Christmas
holidays, and smiled over her own
astuteness when she noticed the Foot
hall Youth lounging slowly by the
house next day, and watching the
front door with a furtive air. lie re
peated the performance-for a day or
two, and after that she saw him no
more until college reopened, when lie
marched by with his head erect, and
with quite the air of a man of the
world.
The holidays were prolonged for (he
l.ily Maid. Three days before they
should have ended, the solitary hoard
ing pupil who remained at the semi
nary through the Christinas season de
velnped a ease of scarlet fever, which
threw the little town in a panic; and
it was nearly February before tin
afflicted principal could open the sehoo
doors. The Fond Parent, glad for her
child to escape the contagion either
of scarlet fever nr of heart affection,
prolonged her leave of absence, the
more cheerfully, as the child seemed
in the gayest of spirits, as far re
moved from the temper of a pining
'over as could well tie imagined, (tut
they had never before been separated
for so long; and it was with a ful1
heart that she at last welcomed her
little daughter, whose bright, face
showed at a glance that no concealed
grief had been preying upon her dam
ask cheek.
They went upstairs together to the
lelightful task of unpacking the Lily
daid's trunk amid discussing at length
lie additions to her wardrobe which
he had made at tlie nation's capital,
•ersonal matlers tints disposed of.
cy seated themselves upon the ward
robe couch, while the Fond Parent en
tered into a searching inquiry regard
ing the styles displayed in the shops,
and the tendency of the times in the
matter of skirts. There was something
else in which she was even more in
terested. and it must hide its proper
time. The time came when she put
her arm about the idly Maid, and that
small person snuggling against her
side, dropped her golden head upon
her mother's shoulder and began. In
a shy little voice, to tell her tale.
When the Football Youth had fol
lowed her to Washington—-the Fond
Parent gave thanks that she had no
nerves and never started, she had
been just a little glad at first; but
after anybody knows a man—a real
man. who has read, and knows every
thing, and has had adventures in all
sorts of queer countries — file Fond
Parent took a sudden twist in her
mental consciousness with a view to
holding herself steady—why. a hoy
like that is so raw. Arid besides, they
never have any sense, and are forever
in the way. And, of course, she went
on, hesitating a little, if people will be
foolish, and insist on saying things, no
body wants them to say—and besides,
it couldn't possibly make any differ
ence to her what girl he went with;
if 1 ^ i 1_ ..i 4 V.r, ..I
And lx1 had called her a flirt, and had
been horrid in every way; and she
hadn't done any such thing: and when
other people were so good tempered,
and so cultivated, and so interesting,
it wasn't her fault if the Football
Youth bored her. He was so young
The Fond Parent sat blinking at the
new wall paper which adorned the
Idly Maid's room, wondering if she
were really awake. She looked do1 n
at the pretty head and touched the
fluffy hair softly with her lips, whi'e
she encouraged the child, by various
sympathetic squeezes, to go on; but
she was not listening at all. She was
wondering if it were always to be out
of deep water into deeper; if the litile,
feet that she had guided so long, in
stead of coming hack to her side
again, were beginning to stray still
further afield. She had known they
must walk their path some day; hut it
had never occurred to her that (lie
Football Youth stood at the parting of
tire ways, and that, though the child
might walk near at hand for many a
mile yet, she would never return to
the security of I he path which she
had left.
The Lily Maid was beginning to
wonder a little at her silence when
the smallest boy burst into the room
with joy on his youthful countenance.
Did his mother ever see such bully
apples?—well, splendid apples, then—
the man didn't have but three bushels
left, and that pig of a Tom Walker
was just sprinting down the street to
get his mother to buy the whole lot!
The Lily Maid stretched out her hand
for one of the samples, and set her
small teeth in it with evident pleasure.
As the Fond Parent opened her pock
I etbook, brother and sister eaugbl si gift
I of a flying figure almost at the corner
of the street. They sprang to the win
dow. by a common impulse, and en
gaged two-thirds of the countryman's
stock, just as the panting Thomas
threw himself upon the fail board ot
the wagon, and gasped out 'bat his
mother would take the three bushels.
The light of victory gleamed in t tie
eyes of the two at the window, and
they scurried downstairs, hand in
hand, to secure their prize, while the
Fond Parent, stepping down slowly,
as became her years and dignity, as
sured herself with a smile that the
Lily Maid had come home in time, and
was in no immediate danger.
More Dogs Than ePople.
Probably the doggiest town in Oreat
Britain is Haverfordwest, in Pem
brokeshire.
There are many men in the town
who live wholly, and make a good
living, by breeding, buying and selling
dogs. Although the population is only
6,000. at least 6.000 dog licenses are
issued annually, and there are also a
large number of exemptions.
Almost daily there are more dogs
than people in the public sheets,
though valuable animals are never al
lowed to run loose.
Tramps ond itinerant hawkers do
not find Haverfordwest attractive,
and unknown postmen often complain
of torn clothes and bites, while occa
sionally letters are delivered in a
\piy erratic fashion.
Rural postmen invariably carry
stout sticks, cyclists and motorists
must slow down or risk broken necks,
and compensation claims which would
spell absolute bankruptcy are con
