The Good Work Accomplished by Mrs. Molly Vannoy.

When Graham Vannoy and Molly Glenn, a fairly educated, energetic young man and woman, were married twenty-five years ago, Graham said:

“Molly, you have no maid. I have no man. Even a poor young physician with a practice scattered over a good bit of country must keep horses and a man. How shall we manage the ex-

pense?” “1 have selected my maid—one of

your poor patient’s young daughters Anne is fifteen, healthy and intelli- gent, and 1 mean to make even homely’ duties attractive to her. A mistress may be companionable with her maid, and yet not descend to being familiar and confidential.”

“You are planning. Molly, to be a

household missionary,” said Dr. Van- noy, laughing.

“I am planning, Graham,” said the little woman, earnestly, “not to miss an

opportunity to arouse in our servants an ambition to do their very best. Anne will serve me better when she finds I have a real and kindly interest in her affairs. We shall get along nicely. Oh, you doubting Thomas! you are questioning my ability to ai’ouse in her a wholesome ambition to serve well.

“I am wondering, Molly,” acknowl- edged the doctor, “if your petted maid will remain content to serve her patient teacher. She will probably disappoint you.”

“I do not think she will, Graham,” said Mrs. Vannoy, confidently. “If I command her respect, she will take kindly to my teaching. I have faith in Anne’s common sense. She can be taught the difference between good housekeeping and slipshod methods. Graham, a strong boy can serve you. Mrs. Maret tells me that her Jamie is

overwhelmingly anxious to learn ‘the doctor’s trade.’

‘Trade!’ That lanky, green boy!” cried Dr. Vannoy.

“I am speaking of a neglected, am- bitious lad whose parents consider him the ugly duckling in their brood of seven. Why not try Jamie?” said Mrs. Vannoy, persuasively. “lie has no en-

couragement at home to make the slightest effort to attain anything de- sirable. lie will care for your horses, buggy and office for small pay, his board, and the help you may give him in preparing for college. Surely, Gra- ham, when you remember the hard- ships you endured to gain a medical ed- ucation, you are willing to lend a hand to Jamie. We had better have Anne and Jamie here soon. I have time now to spend in looking after them a bit”

“Of course, Molly, you’ll have your way. I've no faith in your succeed- mg—’

“Only wait—wait, Graham, and see,” urged the wife.

Anne Bolyn accepted without a de- mur the uniform provided by Mrs.iVan- moy, wh“n she noted that the “doctor's lady” wore a similar dress.

“You see, Anne,” said Mrs. Vannoy, “it makes every differfence the way housekeepers go about work. The wise woman who wants to keep tidy every day wears in the kitchen gowns and aprons easily laundried.

“Shall I eat at the table with the doctor and you, Mis’ Vannoy?” in- quired Anne. “Maw says I mustn’t forget I’m not a common servant.”

“Some one must wait on the table,” replied Mrs. Vannoy, calmly. “In the Jaynes family, the three daughters take turns in waiting. Once when I dined there Master Willie performed that duty, lie was proud, too, of be- ing able to serve without making un-

necessary noise. Minnie Jaynes con- siders it one of her accomplishments.”

“I shouldn’t think the richest man in Wingate would let his girl do such work. I thought Minnie Jaynes took music lessons,” commented Anne.

“Minnie’s friends are quite proud of her musical talent But she is ambi- tious to become a really good house- keeper and home-maker. To do this, one needs to begin at the beginning. It’s an art to be able to serve a dinner correctly,” explained Anne's mistress.

“I s’pose maw won’t mind my wait- in’ on table when I tell her Minnie Jaynes waits, too,” replied Anne, reluctantly.

Jamie Maret’s expressive blue eyes looked his willingness to serve the doctor faithfully. When winter ad- vanced, Dr. Vannoy’s practice in- creased to a degree which necessitated his absence from home many evenings. He said regretfully:

“Molly, do abandon this night school of yours. Since Anne has shown a wish to study, you must be sorely taxed by hearing recitations and direct- ing your studeutB. In the schoolroom your work was paid.”

“Spare your pity until I need it, Gra- ham,” advised Mrs. Vannoy. “Jamie and Anne are worth the little I do for them.”

During the ensuing two years Anne Bolyn, a pure blonde, grew into a

pretty, graceful girl. Her mother oc-

casionally instilled into her soul a slight rebellion—a distrust of the kindly mistress, who, with rare patience and tact, speedily righted matters at such seasons.

“My dear,” said Dr. Vannoy, “James has become almost invaluable to me, but I must spare him soon. The boy is too bright to remain here longer. Can you look up a successor?”

“I think so, Graham,” replied Mrs. \ annoy, thoughtfully. “I must spare Anne, too. My old teacher needs a utility girl, one who will earn board and tuition in the girls’ school at Corry. She will give Anne vocal les- sons if’—

“Aha, Molly, your trained help”— “Graham, wou/il you have me selfish-

ly keep Anne in my service when this chance has come to her?”

“No, my dear, only you receive no re- ward.”

“I shall receive the very highest re- ward if Anne improves her opportuni- ties. 1 have a second maid in view al- ready.

‘■‘4. -havo no. doubt, Molly, that you

I will continue keeping a preparatory school—”

“So long as I am able to conduct one," said Mollie, laughing. “Only yes- terday Sailor Moran’s Marjory said to me: ‘I do wish I knew how to do things ns Anne does them. When 1 am able to keep house and not spend more money than papa can earn in

Wingate, he need not go to sea. He will get a home for Willie and me.’

Marjorie is a nice girL She 'is anxious to become papa's housekeeper. She will have a motive to do her best.”

"And what do you expect to make of yourself, my boy?” inquired Ur. Van- noy, when Patrick Plunket, Jamie’s successor, reported for duty.

"A dentist, sor, by ’n’by. I hopes ye'll give me the helpin’ hand, if Pm

desarvin,” responded Patrick, brightly. “Well, we’ll see, Patrick. Don’t for-

get that Jamie has spoiled my horses

by petting them,” said Dr. Vannoy, kindly.

In time Mr. Moran returned to Win-

gate, and a winsome, happy Marjorie became “papa’s housekeeper.” Pat- rick Plunkett gained confidence also in his own ability to be somebody.

“Our ungrateful servants have given us the opportunity to look up succes-

sors. Here's my second boy, Patrick Plunket, off to the dental college just when I find him of value to me,” com-

plained Dr. Vannoy, with a twinkle in his eye.

New maids and new boys continued to enter the Vannoys’ service and to leave their kind employers, until twenty-five years went by. Much had happened during that time. When young Dr. James Maret sought an

opening, Dr. Vannoy’s increased practice enabled him to take him as a

partner. Anne Ilolyn, while paying her way through college, continued her

friendship with Jamie. “Another going agley of your plans,

Molly,” said Dr. Vannoy. handing his wife some wedding cards. “You’ve planned a musical career for Anne Bolyn. The young woman, after six years of close application to study, settles down in a cozy cottage with my young partner, who has his fortune yet to make!”

“I’m not disappointed that Anno listened to Jamie’s wooing. Jamie is quite as well off in every respect as

you were when I married you, and now we are very comfortable,” replied Mrs. Vannoy, placidly.

On the noon of Mrs. Vannoy’s fiftieth birthday, a company of well-dressed men and women unceremoniously en- tered her parlors.

“Graham,” cried Mrs. Vonnoy, “it is Patrick, David, Paul, cSylvia, Rachel and the others!”

“It was Anne’s idea, this wholesale invasion,” explained Dr. Maret. “She has spent three months in locating your ex-maids and boys, who each realize the debt of gratitude they owe

you.” “Molly,” cried Dr. Vannoy, “you ara

responsible for a great deal. Here are

eight men and seven women who were once members of your training school. Patrick Plunket is making more money than I am. Otto Baum thinks he will go to the legislature. Jamie expects to step in my shoes. Do you notice, Mrs. Vannoy, Sylvia Moore’s fine gown? You never owned such a gown. You never will, since she married q successful business man and you mar- ried a poor young doctor. Your pupils do you credit. Rachel Dane has actually chosen my profession. Dr. Rachel Dane, permit me to congratulate you and wish you success! There isn’t a failure in the number. But, Molly, I can’t for- get that your maids w ere in haste to leave your service.”

“Graham, not one left me until an

opportunity”- “Exactly! and when an opportu-

nity to enter another training school presented itself, you were left lament- ing.”

“Not lamenting, but glad that mj pupils were so apt. At any rate, my maids tarried with me quite as long as your boys remained with you.”

“A true word you said, dearie! Tha ungrateful fellows developed aspira- tions in no time, and away they scam- pered. Such a state of affairs is only possible in a democratic country, where the pluckiest people climb to the top of the ladder. I note with pleasure that our guests have brought with them suggestive baskets. Suppose we begin the banquet”

Dr. Vannoy viewed with pride tha company of self-reliant men and wom- en, each occupying a creditable place in the work-a-day world. His heart thrilled with pride as he looked upon his wife’s sweet, placid face. He valued her as ths dearest, wisest, most patient and unselfish woman in the world.

Mrs. Vannoy looked her happiness. The childless wife had not in the be- ginning planned work by any set ideas. Being a born teacher, possessing the ability to stimulate and bring out each one’s best, the natural result fol- lowed, and Dr. Vannoy, despite his teasing, proyed an able assistant in the home training school.—Waverly Magazine.

The Football Player’* Sorrow. “Thus one by one are our fondest

dreams dispelled,” said the dejected- looking young man, as he dropped his bead with its long, flowing locks into his hands. “And she always seemed so unselfish.”

“Oh, well, brace up. Think of youi fame as a football player.” “It is that which sundered the ties

that bound us. She demanded too much.”

"But you told me only a short time ago that you would give her your life if she asked for it.

“So I would—but what Bhe desired was—”

“Well?” “A lock of my hair!”-Washington

I making liquor in jail.

A Secret Service Mao’* DlHcoverj of •

Colored Prisoner’* Trick.

"If j-ou want to see some queer things,” said a secret service officer, whose specialty is internal revenue

cases, addressing a New York Sun

man, “you ought to travel with me for

a few weeks. You would soon make

up your mind to one thing—that when a man wants a drink he will have it. No law in the world will prevent him. It’s all very well to say: ‘Suppose the

man is locked up in jail?’ but that won’t stop him if he is a man of intel-

ligence and wants a drink very badly. I ran across a case down south last summer that illustrates the simplest and crudest way of producing alcohol. 1 had been spending some weeks in

central Tennessee and had run down the Bill Maverick gang of moonshiners and landed them all in jail—six of them. They were a very smart lot and for safekeeping they were put in sep- arate cells. About two weeks after the arrest, when I had to return to tes-

tify in the case, I went into the jail, and the sheriff said to.me: ‘Henderson’ (that was the name I was going by at the time), ‘there’s w’hisky in the jail. I believe your moonshiners are mak- ing it.’

‘Like enough,’ I told him; ‘they knowhow. Just shift them into new

quarters at dinner, and see what we

can find in their cells.’ “While my prisoners were kept in

another part of the jail we examined their cells thoroughly, but there was not a sign of a still, nor of any whisky stored away. So we had to find a fresh clew. It was a wTell-:«ianaged jail, and I was reasonably sure that the liquor was not smuggled in—it was most likely made on the premises. I found by making inquiries that the prisoner who oftenest showed the ef- fects of drinking was an intelligent colored man, who had been put in charge of the storeroom. His business was to serve out the raw food to the cooks and keep the storeroom in order.

‘That’s my man!’ I said to myself, and I had him locked in his cell and went into the storeroom. It was just as I expected. He had a dozen fruit jars full of corn beer so strong that about two glasses of it would go to an old drinker’s head. It was very easily made; he had only to make a mixture of molasses and water, start it fer- menting by adding a little yeast, and then throw in a few handfuls of corn.

Any Pennsylvania farmer wiU tell you how to make corn beer. Afte ferment- ing a few- days, it contained from twelve to twenty per cent, of alcohol. He had been doing a fine business selling this to the prisoners and had kept himself well primed. The remedy here was tc appoint a new storekeeper who was not quite so smart.”

DULL TIMES IN ENGLAND. Itritisli Exports and Imports Have Fallen

OfT Heavily This Year. An English paper, the Manchester

Union, gives this synopsis of trade con- ditions:

England has suffered from dull times, as have France, Germany and othei European countries, without regard to their tariff policies. The aggregate loss in the export trade this year, as compared with the first nine months of 1892, is given at almost $30,000,000. But the falling off in imports is much greater still, amounting to $75,000,000, showing that dull times had prevented the British from buying since they could not sell. This falling off in Brit- ish imports by $75,000,000 in nine months gives one good reason why wheat is but little above 00 cents a bushel in Chicago. The exports of British coal fell off 810,000,000 in the first nine months of this year as compared with the year before. In cotton yarns the export dimin- ished by over 25,000,000 pounds and in cotton piece goods by 250,000,000 yards, as compared with the exports in 1892. While this shows a heavy im- mediate loss to manufacturers and to labor, it is indicative, however, of de- creased stocks of cottons in purchasing countries, unless other manufacturing countries have met the deficiency in the English trade, which does not ap- pear reasonable in face of the large stocks of raw cotton that are available. In textile fabrics the exports decreased by nearly 810,000,000, and in woollen and worsted yarns by nearly $3,000,000 and in woollen goods by $3,500,000. Metal goods, hardware and cutlery all fell off in quantity and value; tin plate exports decreased by nearly $500,000, smaller purchases by the United States representing the full amount of the decline. The exports of manufactures in iron and steel repre sent a loss of 81,000,000; of machinery the same amount; articles of wearino apparel, shop goods and articles fo° personal use decreased to the extent of $4,000,000, with smaller losses in ex ports of glass, cement and paper. The export trade in earthen ware and oil; 'nereased somewhat.
