If not, la It not time to make a change and work for the good of our membership? Does the grange advance the Interests of co-operation lu buying and selling': While the grunge la not established simply to save money to ita members. yet each grange should labor to further the financial luteresti of Ita Oiemliers in every honorable way. If it dis-s not. there la another opportunity wasted. Does the grange Improve even. opportunity to widen the sphere of thought of ita mem Iters, thereby aiding them to acquire a mental training ao much needed? If not. a most valuable opportunity to demonstrate Its usefulness has lteen lost. Does the spirit of fraternity manifest itself on all ocmalons with deeds as well n» words? This la an opportunity not to be neg lected. la the grange furnishing the social pleasures to Its members that It may make the lives of the Patrons more pleasant and giving to the tired farmer’s wife and to the children social advantages that they would not otherwise hare? Opportunities are like pearls, sometimes Incased In shells, requiring effort to rest* them, therefore worthy of %xeater effort to gain them.

(Original.) In (be good old village of New Amsterdam, now New York, there dwelt a little Widow, Joanna Van Kdmack. Most of the Dutclmien of those days were not gifted with quick Imclligeuce with which to penetrate abstruse problems. Indeed, to use a common ionise af today, they could not ace through a millstone. But Joanna Van Schaack. though- sli* apjiearecl as stupid iu the rest, was quick wilted. She had been married at sixteen and now at thirtyfour had a daughter of seventeen years. Katrina. Both mother and daughter were comely—the mother In bloom, the daughter In the bod. There lived also In New Amsterdam In those days a young man, Killian Van Horn. Killian was six years younger than Joanna Van Selmack and /years older than Katrina. Until Katrina was sixteen he paid attention to the widow, and It was thought there •ould be a match between them, but when the daughter budded the young man instead of being ambitious to be her father concluded be would like to be ber husband. He gradually dropped away from his first love and took up with the second. He was a year in shifting, at the end of which time be mustered up courage to ask Joanna for ber daughter. Con ;;ious of the position he occupied ix-twecn the two women. he approached the mother shame faccdly. But to bis surprise she Ignored bis former utteuthma to her and treated bis offer for her daughter's baud as a matter to be disposed of In the usual practical Dutch way. Unfortunately the young man was not over prosperous, while the widow possessed a snug farm on the banka of tbe Hudson river and bad a number of gold and silver pieces carefully put a’ In a woolen stocking. When Killian admitted that hlv'sole possession was a small sloop, with which be brought to market dams and oysters, the widow declined his proposition for her daughand be went away much east

down.

From this time forward Joanna kept her daughter under such strict watch that Kllllap could not even munlcate with her. His trouble became known to several of bis friend*, and one night when they were drinking together at a tavern one of them. Peter

Gansroort, said:

“Why don’t - you run away with

Katrina. Killian r

“1 can’t get near enough to ber to arrange a plan," replied Killian. Til give yon a plan.” said Peter. "The mother and daughter go to church every Wednesday evening. Wa fellows when they are going home may set upon tbem and carry tbem both off. you taking the daughter and the real

of us the mother.”

Tbe friends all agreed that this

would be a flnjt lark, and Killian

persuaded to enter Into it. All agreed to put tbe plan In practice the next

Wednesday evening. I

When the evening cam* tbe friends ad tbe lover stationed themselves midway between tbe church and the widow’s farm. The night was dark, which they considered fortunate. Tbe frieofishfirtened and soon beard voices which they recognised aa. those of the persons they waited Tor. As the t^, ! women passed the men sprang out and threw a sheet over each. Killian whispered to tb* one be held: “Katrina, don’t be afraid. It la I. your Killian.” A soft pressure of the band was ber reply, and, picking ber up, be carried ber

away to tbe dominie’s.

Now, though It was scarcely 9 o’clock, moft of the people In the Tillage .were In bed, and so was tbe dominie. Killian knocked on tbe door, and tbe dominie came down and let him In. At tljat time tbe method of getting a light was by flint struck with stesl. The dominie searched for the Implements, but could not find. them. Killian, who was Impatient and feared delay might spoil bis plan, told tbe dominie that all be wanted was to be married and tbe knot could be tied as weQ In tbe dark. Tbe

and performed tbe

other whom they found there was Ka I trtna. Killian looked from one to th In a dated way, then It bega a t dawn upon bis stupid brain that h had married I fie widow. "What doc* It all mean, mamma? ! m so glad you are eafej And, com lug with Killian. I presume you have poi

been roblied.”

"■“Go to bed, Katrina.” The girl knew by her mother's tomwhen ligplldt obedience was ex|>ectcJ and went at once to ber chamlwr. leaving her mother and her stepfather together. What transpired between the groom and his bride does not appear In u:ty of the chitchat about tbe people of New Amsterdam, but Killian never left the bouse for any other abode, an.' It was raid that he made a very contented. estimable and docile ei*ou»e. Katrina soon married it well to do Dutchman named Bleeker. end both the Van Homs an|! the Bleeker* seemed fairly content with their lot. which Idow had had n hand In nrrang lng more satiafnctorily than Killian could have done himself. At any rate Killian smaked h!» long clay pipe In snmmer evening* on his wife's stoop and looked placidly on tin river. THKIIE8A OMAN.

CARE FOR YOUR GLOVES. A Little Thoanhlfutnr.* Will Keep Thru. »r*h a Lana White. “Do you realize that a little thoughtfulness will keep your gloves fresh Just twice os long?” If you find a stain on your new glove clean It Just as soon as you can. Do not let It dry lu and become a permanent disfigurement. Dip a toothbrush la gasoline and rub the glove until elean, drying afterward on a bath towa! or piece of flannel. A white glove should never be worn more than once without cleaning. If K is cleaned promptly after each wearing it can he used Indefinitely, aa the spots do not become set Gloves can he saved In many little ways and their term of usefulness prolonged. The handle of a chatelaine bag will wear a glove white, so It should be carried on the wrist, and the tidy girl uses her handkerchief to save her gloves, particularly wben'Dbardlng a car, carrying an umbrella or drinking a glass of soda water or chocolate at a drug store. In large cities dyers will clean gloves In twenty-four hour* for 10 cents a pair, so there to no excuse for soiled

gloves.

Hie tidy girl always washes ber own silk and lace gloves In summer and takes particular pride In her washable white kids. Tbaec gloves are both practical and economical and may be worn for a considerable length of time with careful handling In their laundering. They should be washed on the hands In tepid water and afterward rinsed In several clear tepid waters while still on the hand. Do not pass tbe soap through the hands, but always use the eudded water. A drop nr two of ammonia In the second and last rinsing waters will prevent the gloves from becoming yellow. These washable gloves should be allowed to dry <® the hands. If removed while only partly dry they will stretch out of

shape.—Bouton Traveler.
