THE MUSIC IN THE HEDDE&
There I* music In the meddor
" h#n the meiler oowbf!]* ring.
Soft, ellvery cadence* jest
As iwcc! as anything;
But the muaio In the grusscs
Where the little Insects hum,
Js like a benediction when
The end o' da} is come
There Is mush In the mtilder
When the sun Is gettln' low.
When the shadders grow an deey>en.
An' the fireflies glow;
The katydid is singfn', an'
The cricket's lyric call
Is soundin' in the medder when
The shadders start to fail
When the butterflies are restin'
An' the bees are In the gum
Pleepln' where the honey Is, an'
Kvery-thlng Is mum.
Boftly from the medder comee
The cricket s lyric call,
Just liltin' in the grasses when
The shadders start to fall.

UNCLE DAVE’S
VACATION
By EDWARD MOTT WOOLLEY
(Copyright, 1W6. by W. G. Chapman.)
IT was the first vacation David Angel
had taken in 22 years, and he would
»ot have taken this one if the doctor
had not told him flatly, that he must.
Uncle Dave, as the boys in the
j wholesale house called him, had seen
j 68 years of rain and shine—mostly
I rain. For 30 years he had sat on a
| high stool in the office, outliving half
a dozen changes in the management,
j and becoming, with each passing year.
! a little grayer, a little more round
shouldered, a little more dim of vision.
Now his beard was snow white and
his step had no elasticity, but he was
the same quiet, cheerful, optimistic
! Uncle Dave that he had been since the
memory of the oldest employe of the
house began. His clothing was as spot
lessly clean as on the day he first
set foot in the office, and the books
over which he presided wrere just as
neat as they had been whe% his hand
was firm and his eye bright.
The last vacation David Angel had
taken was the year before his wife's
death. After that he resisted all at
tempts on the part of his friends to
induce him to take a rest, until one
night, while working late over toe
ledger, he fell off his high stool in a
faint. The next day the doctor said;
to him:
"You’ve got to go to the country f»r
a couple of months. Mr. Angel; if you
don't, you'll be a dead man in the falk"
The old man accepted the ultimatum
sadly. He was gloomy and cast down.
Such a break in the habits of two
decades oppressed him with forebod
ings of evil. Uncle Dave was fettered
tightly to habit, and the severing of
his simple dally, monthly, yearly rou>
tine seemed to him like the ending
of all thlnga. or, at least, like the be
ginning of the end.
Even before Uncle Dave left tihe
boarding house where he had lived Dor
many years he was homesick; but the
die was cast, and the lonely o4d man
6et out one evening for his trip to tiha
country He had bought his ticket that
afternoon for Lake Geneva His mood
was black, however, as he boarded the
car for the railway station, asad bit
terly did he resent the necewlty of
this enforced vacation.
Uncle Dave's course to the depot re
quired a change of street cars, and
as he was getting aboard the second
car he encountered a little old lady
leaving it. She was laden with a
aatrhei. a telesoope case, a shawl straj
and a couple of bundles. Mr. Angei
stepped aside to let her pass. She got
off. dragging her traps after her.
"Dear! dear!" she sputtered. “1 dc
! wish 1 had stayed at home! The ide*
of an old body like me galivanting of
on a summer tour!"
The conductor impatiently gave tb«
signal to start. Uncle Dave was no
spry enough to make a flying mount
and he found himself standing In th<
; street with the little old lady, while thi
car sped on its way. "What a shame!'
i she exclaimed, in genuine regret
have made you miss your car."
"It doesn’t matter,” said Uncle Dave
| gallantly. “I have thne enough. Cat
| 1 assist you?"
••IT DOESN'T MATTER."
Bh«* looked m him gratefully. flh<
w»f such a hopeless little body amoni
all tba noise and turmoil of the city
that Uncle Dave was attracted toward
her. "When my husband was alive/'
she said, a* they made their way to the
curb "I never minded traveling In
the least, for he always looked after
everything so carefully.”
She looked about helplessly.
I should have taken a carriage ”
she went on, "but I live so far out
that I thought tor once I d try tie
street cars.**
Uncle Dave was holding her valises.
He hadn’t felt so much like a family
man for years and years.
"Could you direct me to the South
Haven docks?” she asked.
A sudden Irresistible impulse caught
! Uncle Dave and made him answer:
"1 am going there myself, inadame;
| wUl you do me the honor to accom
pany me?”
Half an hour before, the old man
wouldn't have thought it possible for
him to do such a thing. Mentally, he
| said: "You sly old sinner! This va
cation business will be the ruination
of you, sure!”
The little old lady was deiicb >-1:
then she looked troubled. “I’m a. ...tl
you are putting yourself out,'' she sa.d.
Uncle Dave suddenly remembered
that when he met the little old lady
he had been in the act of board Lag
the car she was leaving. Now she
had caught him in his falsehood. He
extricated himself from the dilemmas,
however, by a sudden inspiration, "tf
you had stayed on the car and gone
around the loop, inadame. it would
have taken you three blocks nearer
the dock. You see. I had a transfer
from the other cur. However, we cam
walk the distance now more easily
than we can wait tyre.”
Unde Dave fell sate in this dellb
erate prevarication. The little old lady
looked relieved. TKuey walked to the;
br*at. conversing.
"This is very kind: you, sir,” said!
Untie Daves new acquaintance. “Are:
yorj going tuo South Haven, too?”
The old fellow thought desperately
fast. The railway nickel to Lake
Geneva was reposing, in his inside coat
pocket, but he answered, with a sharp'
twinge of conscience: "Yes, I'm start
ing on a lSrarie outiwf, and I thought
I’d ran, over to’ Souikt Haven for a few
days, and then go up To> Imke Geneva,
perhaps.” There was t twinkle in his
eyes, but the aid lad? did not see it..
Uncle Dave was beginning to think, al
ready, that vacations were not so bad,
after all.
"Sowth Haven ia a iske quiet place
ahe answered;: "that is, when one geta
away flrom the runaway couples.”
Unci* Dave looked at her over hi*
epertaalaa. and. she looked at him over,
hers.
"1 wt« by the papensc'' he said, "thati
more young folks atr« going there tO'
get married this year than ever b*e
fore.”'
The old. Ilariy smiJ«-«t'. “1 reckon folkss
won't take us for dinpers.” she an->
sweradl. “Ifve been: to South Haven,
every summer since; my husband died.
This year 1 almost gave up the trip
beesmae L dreaded tit* undertaking rt
getting there. When. ««e is alone, you:

Haul* Dave <ca*rt a surreptitiou*
glance again al his companion. SU»
wa* akoue, and he »*» alone. He llkod
kt sw«t old face, and her motherly
toae« had a homelike ring in them 'hat
went straight to- the old man's hun
gry heart. Aft,ee all. there was noth
ing to take him to Lake Geneva. Why
should he go there, when South 'j&ven
attracted him the more?
"Where do you stay in Sovutt Ha
van?” she asked, naively.
"Well—ah!.—1 haven't exiwiGy de
cided.” he confessed, in some con
fusion. "To. tell the truth, rtadacae, I
haven’t been there for 30 years. She
raised her eyebrows. "'fbie place
wnere I board in South Haven.” she
su.d. "is a dear, old-fashioned. com
fortable house—just the sort for aa
old lady like me. who doesn't care for
fuss and feathers. Perhaps you would
like to try it.”
Ut.de Dave allowed that he would.
”1 here's good firhlng around there,
too, -he added, “if you like the sport.'
Uncle Imre taught au fish in
haJlf a CMBtury, but he answered^ with a
sparkle h his eye«: "I'll &*t, «ome of |

Oh, yes, I eujoyed tny vacation, fish

Uncle Dare actually winked his left
eye.
Vitality of Mosquito Eggs.
According to the investigations of;
Prof. John B. Smith, it is not so easy |
to destroy the mosquito as »me per- i
sons imagine. The eggs of the salt
marsh mosquito, for instan«-«. may re
main in dried mud for months, and yet
a large percentage of them will hatch
out within a few hours after becoming
covered with water. The remainder
lie dormant until the first lot haa
reached full growth, and then, If still
submerged, most of them also will
hatch out. A few eggs of each brood
lie over to the following year, and all
the eggs of the last autumn brood hi
bernate. The consequence is that the
first spring mosquito swarm is the
largest of the season, and migrating
adults of this brood live until Sep
tember swelling the number of mid
Bummer mosquitoes.
