He had\ntaken off one worsted mitten and held\na five cent piece clutched tightly In\nhis red fist.\nThe station agent wrapped the pastry ln a piece of uewspaper and handed lt to bis customer.\nThe boy, a youngster of about _twelve\nyears of age, with a freckled face and\na pair of bright gray eyes, took his\n\"turnover\" to th. aettee In the comer\nof the waiting ro.m aud began to eat.\nHe bad on a worn cloth cap with an\nattachment that could be pulled dowu\nto cover the ears and a shabby overcoat of man's size, very much too\nlarge for hi n. As he munched the\ngreasy crust and tbe thin layer of\n\"evaporated\" appie he looked around\nhim with Interest.\nThe station Itsrf was like the aver-\nuge railway bulling ou Cape Cod.\nExcept for the 'ign \"Harnlss\" that\nbung outside it might have been tlie\nstation nt Wellmouth. which be had\nseen so often. Battered settees\naround the wails: lithographs of\nsteamers, time tables and year old\n'announcements of excursions and county fairs bung above them; big stove\nset In a box of sawdust\u2014all these\nwere the regulation fixtures. Regulation also were the \"refreshments\" on\nthe counter at the side\u2014\"turnovers\" arranged cobhouse fashion under a glass\ncover, with a dingy \"Washington\" pie\nunder another cover and jars of striped stick candy, with boxes of \"jawbreakers\" and similar sweetmeats between.\nIt was snowing bard, and ln tbe\ndusk of the winter evening the flakes\nrustled against the windows as If unseen old ladles in starched summer\ngowns w re shivering In the storm and\ncrowding to get :i peep with.-. The\nlair in tbe shut waiting room smelled of\nhot Rtove, sawdust, wet clothing and\nMr. Clark's cigar. To this collection\nof icrfumes was presently added the\n.odor of kerosene as the station agent\nlilt the big lamps, in tbelr brackets on\nithe wall.\nFrom outside came tbe sounds of\ncreaking wheels and stamping horses,\nthe stamping unfiled by the snow\n.which covered the gro.md.\nTbe door opened, and a big man with\na face of which gray whiskers and red\nnose were the mo.-t prominent features\ncame stamping aud pulling into tbe\niroom. He jerked off n pair of leather\ngloves, playfully shook the congealed\nmoisture from them dowu Mr. Clark's\nneck Inside his collar, tossed a long\niWhip Into the corner und, holding his\nspread fingers over the stove, began to\nsing \"Whoa, Einmal\" with enthusiasm.\nMr. Clark, being toe busy clawing the\nmelting snow from _ ls neck to opeu a\nconversation, Mr. Bodkin observed:\n\"Hello, Barney Sn all! How's thetrav'i-\nln\"? Have a rough time drlvln' over?\"\n\"Ob, middlln', inlddllu',\" replied tbo\ndriver of the Orlmm stage, unbutton-\nIng bis overcoat i.nd reaching for his\npipe, \"but this earth's a vale of tears\nanyhow, so what's tbe odds so long's\nyou're happy. Hello, Han!\" The last a\nshouted greeting to tbe station agent lu\nthe little room, whose answer was a\nwave of the hand and a sidelong nod\nacross the telegraph Instrument.\n\"What's doln' ever lu Orham, Barney?\" Inquired Mr. Clark.\n\"Prissy and Ter py's udopted u boy.\"\n; The agent evidently wus luterested.\n\u2022 \"The old maids?\" .\n' \"Yup, tbe old maids. I s'pose tl)ey\ncome to reellze tbat they needed a mau\n'round the house, but as there wa'n't\nno bids in that Hue tbey sort of compromised on a boy.\"\n\"Y'ou don't mean the Allen old maids\nthat live down on the 'lower road,' do\nS'ou?\" asked Mr. Bodkin.\n\"Surtln. I snld tbe old maids, didn't\nDI? There's plenty of single women in\niOrham, but when you say 'the old\nmaids' In our town everybody knows\nyou mean Prissy and Tempy.\"\n\"What about the boy. Barney?\" said\nthe station. agent, Cuming into the\nwaiting room.\n\"Wby,\" said Mr. Small, \"It's this\nway: Seems that Prissy aud Tempy's\nfather, old Cap'u D'rlus Allen\u2014he's\nbeen dead six years or more uow\u2014bad\ne niece name of Sophia, thut married\nCap'u Ben Nlckersou over to Well-\n_loutb.

Maybe . nu remember? Well,\nthe boy was left at home that voyage\nwith Ben's hn'f brother, Snbn Nicker\nson, so's the youngster could go to\nschool. When his folks was drownded\nthat way the boy kept on Hviu' with\nSolon till 'bout three weeks ago Solon\nwas took with pneiimony aud up and\ndied. Prissy and Tempy's the only relations there was. you see. so It was\nleft to them to say what should be\ndone with the boy. I cal'late there\nmust have been some high old pow-\nwowln' In the old house, but tbe old\n'-What'tt.jjiiiir name,,sonnyt\"\nmald3 are pretty conscientious spite or\ntheir beiu' so everlastin' 'old muldy,'\nand they fiu'Ily decided 'twas their\nduty to take the little feller to briug\nup. That's the wuy I heard the yarn.\nThey kept it a secret until yesterday,\nbut now the whole town's talkin' 'bout\nit Y'ou see, it's such a good joke for\nthem two to bave a boy in the bouse.\nWhy, Prissy's been used to shooln'\nevery stray boy off tbe place as if he\nwas a ben.\"\nMr. Small laughed so heartily at this\nthat the others Joined ln. Wben the\nhilarity had subsided the station agent\nasked:\n\"When's the Nlekerson boy comin'\nover from Wellmouth?\"\n\"Why, today, come to think of It\nHe was to come up on the afternoon\ntrain from Wellmouth and go to Or-\nbam wltb me tonight You ain't seen\nnothln' \"\u2014\nThe station agent Interrupted him\nwith a sidelong movement of tbe head.\n\"Huh?\" queried Mr. Small. Then he,\nIn company with Mr. Clark and Mr.\nBodkin, turned toward the corner of\nthe waiting room.\nThe boy who had bought the apple\n\"turnover,\" having finished the last\ncrumb of tbat viand, had turned to the\nwindow and wns looking out through\na hole he bud scraped in tbe frost on\ntbe pane. He had shaded his face with\nbis bands to shut out tbe lamplight\nand, though he must have heard the\nconversation, ills manner betrayed no\ninterest In it.\nMr. Small interrogated the station\nagent by raising his eyebrows. The\nagent whispered, \"Shouldn't wonder,\"\naud added, \"lie came on the up train\ntbls ufternoon.\"\n\"Hey, boy,\" snld Mr. Clark, who never let consideration for other people\nInterfere with his own curiosity,\n\"what's your nnme?\"\nTho boy turned from the window\nand, blinking a little as tbe light\nstruck his eyes, faced tbe group by the\nstove. His freckled cheeks glistened\nas the light shone upon them; but, as\nlf he knew this, be pulled the big\nsleeve of tbe overcoat across his face\nand rubbed them dry.\n\"What's your name, sonny?\" said\nthe stage driver kindly.\n\"Nlekerson,\" said the boy in a low\ntone.\n\"I want to know. Your fust name\nain't Bradley, ls It?\"\n\"Yes, sir.\"\n\"Sho, well, there now! Guess you're\ngoin' to ride over wltb me then. I\ndrive the Orh.im coach. Hum, well, I\ndeclare!\" And Mr. Small pulled his\nbeard In an embarrassed fashion.\n\"Come over to the stove and get\nwarm, won't you?\" asked the station\nagent.\n\"I ain't cold.\" was the reply.\nThe trio b.v the stove fidgeted ln silence for a few moments, and then\nMr. Small said uneasily: \"Ain't It\n'most time for that train to be In?\nShe's a ha'f hour late now.\"\n\"She was twenty-five minutes late\nat Sandwich.\" snld the station agent,\n\"and she's prob'ly lost ten minutes or\nso since.

Only one passenger\ngot out nf the Harnlss statlou, und\nhe, stopping for a moment to hand his\ntrunk check to the station agent, walked briskly Into the waiting room and\nslammed the door behind him.\n\"Hello!\" he hailed, pulling off a buckskin glove and holding out a big hand\nto the stage urlver. \"Barney, how's\nshe headln\".\"\nMr. Smnll grinned and took the proffered hand.\n\"Well, for the land's sake.

Thought you was some-\nwheres off the coast between New\nl'ork and Portland Jest 'bout now.\"\n\"Cot shore leave for a fortnl't or so,\"\naaid the newcomer, unbuttoning his\novercoat with a smart jerk and throwing It wide open. \"Schooner sprung a\nleak off Gay head Unl trip, and she's\nhauled up at East Boston for repairs.\nDirty weather, ain't It? Hello, Lon!\nHow are you, Ike?\"\nMr. Clark and his friend grinned and\nrespnuded, \"How are you, Cap'n Ez?\"\nin unison.\nThe arrival was a short, thickset man\nwith a sunburned face, sharp eyes,\nhair that was a. reddish brown sprinkled with gray and a close clipped\nmustache of the same color. He wore u\nblue overcoat over a blue suit and .held\na cigar firmly lu oue corner of his\nmouth. His movements were quick\nand sharp and he snapped out his sentences with vigor.\n\"Full cargo tonight?\" he asked of\nMr. Small, who was buttoning bis\novercoat and pulling on his gloves.\n\"Pretty nigh an empty hold,\" was\nthe reply. \"Ouly 'bout one and a ha'f\ngolu' over. Y'ou're the one, and the boy\nhere's the ha'f. All aboard! Come on.\nBrad. You and the cap'n git Inside,\nwhile me and Ban git the dunnage ou\ntbe rack.\"\nThe boy picked up the carpet bag and\nfollowed Mr. Small out to the rear\nplatform of the station, where the\ncoach, an old fashioned, dingy vehicle,\ndrawn by four sleepy horses, stood\nwaiting.\nCaptain Titcomb followed, bis overcoat flapping in tbe wind.\n\"Here. Barney,\" he observed, \"have a\ncigar to smoke ou the road. Have one.\nDan? Here, Lou: here's a couple for\nyou and Ike. Who's the little feller?\"\nhe added In a whisper tj tbe station\nagent\n\"Ben Nlckerson's boy from Wellmouth. He's comin' down to Orbam to\nlive wltb tbe old maids. They've adopted him.\"\n\"The old maids? Not the old maids?\nNot Prissy and Tempy?\"\n\"Yup. All right, Barney; I'm comin'.\"\nThe station ngent hurried away to\nhelp the driver with the captain's seu\nchest, and its owner, apparently overcome with astonishment, climbed mute\nly Into the coach, where his fellow\npassenger had preceded him.\nThe old vehicle rocked and groaned\nas the heavy chest was strapped on\nthe racks behind. Then It tipped again\nas Mr. Small climbed clumsily to the\ndriver's seat.\n\"All ashore that's goin' shore!\" shouted Mr. Small. \"So long, Dan. Glt\ndap, Two-forty!\"\nThe whip cracked, the coach reeled\non Its springs, and the whole equipage\ndisappeared In the snow and bluck\nnees.\n(To Be Continued)\nMustard Aids Digestion.\nMustard if quite fresh made taken\nwith meat helps to digest it. Do not\nuse salt in mixing it. but first rub\nquite smooth with a little cold water\nand the back of a silver spoon or bone\nspoon; then add just a little more water gradually till it is ot the right consistency Thin mustard is generally\ndisliked.

Sir Henry's private sitting-\nroom at 10 Downing street, the room\nwhere he does a great part of his\npublic work, is on the floor above the\ncabinet council room. It is a large\napartment, almost square in shape,\nnnd with paneled walls, on which are\nhung several fine portraits of former\nPrime Ministers. Opposite the fireplace, and dominating the room, is\na large copy o_ Milla.is' splendid portrait of Mr. Gladstone.

The doctors have\nemphatically and explicitly urged on\nhim to refrain from all-night sittings\n\u2014those terribly severe tests of physical endurance.\nTo a man recovering from an illness, this private sitting-room of Sir\nHenry's, with its broad outlook on\nSt. James' Park, is muah mare\nhealth-givine than fhe national debating chamber, with its turmoil,\nheat and noise. I noticed one or two\nfine French bureaux in this room,\nbelonging to the days of the early\nEmpire, and without any of the grotesque liberties taken in so much old\nFrench furniture of that same period.\nWhere Cromwell Lived.\nSitting at. Mb desk, the Prime Minister can look out of the window nnd\nget a good view of the Horse Guards'\nparade, while close at hand he sees\na bit of the ancient building of the\nlord high treasurer's house\u2014where, it\nis recorded, Cromwell lived. Leading\nto this latter house there was once on\na time a gateway, now bricked up,\nand in some mysterious way it also\ngave access to the Thames. In the\nprotector's time the river would appear to have run much nearer Downing\nstreet than it does now. Perhaps the\ndryness of debate has had some influence there.\nThe drawing-room communicates\nwith the sitting-room; but during her\nstay in this historic house Lady\nOampbeil-Bannerman was too ill ever\nto use it.\nOn the other side of the sitting-room\nis a small private dining-room, used\nby the Premier when alone. Beyond\nthis oak-paneled room lies the larger\nand more stately dining-room, chiefly\nutilized for state ceremonies and\nthose parties which the head of the\nGovernment must needs give on royal\nbirthdays or great public occasions.\nThe oak floor and the oak wall paneling are both worthy of admiration,\nand age has lent them a certain\nbeautv.

I have In mind a\nman whose face has been known ti>\nevery pedestrian on Park row and\nBroadway, below that point, for twenty years as a seller of men's garters.\nHe has been stationed upou the steps\nef one of tbe best known banks lu this\nmetropolis\u2014ulwuys iu bin humble ca-\npa< lty.\nThe fact has been known to the weir\nInformed In the locality that this mau\nwas one of the hi.-iliest paid detectives\nin New Y'ork. Although he was apparently selling stocking supporters for\nmeu at 25 cents per pair, he was closer\nto the desks of the cashier aud the pay-\nlug teller of the bank behind him than\nany other man In the great establishment In the woodwork of the outer\ndoors, that appeared to swing as freely\nas the air of heaven permitted, were\ntwo large spots that seemed to every\nother eye than his like brass screw\nbonds.-\nThey were In ren'lty electric buttonst\nthat kept him Infor-ned of the absence\nor presence of doubtful characters or\ndetected thieves Inside the b_mk.\nIn the latter contingency his method\nwas simple and was executed wltb\nsuch celerity that nobody outside suspected his part hi tiie tragedy that followed. When the danger signal wase\ngiven to him th-> vender of gartersi\nturned a knob at the left hand of the'\nentrance to the bank, and the front,\ndoors were closed b.v secret bolts, rendering impossible the escape of nil persons Inside the bank. The man who*\nhad presented n forged check or as\nstolen bond was caught\nThe detective would then abandon\nthe few dollars' worth of stock In garters or ear mufflers, as the season served. He would enter the bank by a narrow Iron door at the left of the main,\n.entrance and place the alleged culprit,\nunder arrest.\nThat man has saved hundreds of\nthousands of dollars for the great bunk,\nhe served. But now that a new building ls completed he has been promoted,\nto a pluce inside, and the most complicated machinery ever known for\nstopping the escape of a suspectej\ncharacter Is under his control.

The process is simple. The cold causes the\nwithdrawal of the water from the cells\nof the plant, forming ice crystals outside of the cells. Tbe frost, cooling\nand contracting the surface, acts ns a\nsort of pump, and as soon ns the cell\nis emptied of Its life giving fluid the\nplant dies. The truth of this theory\nhas been proved by numerous careful\nexperiments. Croat variation was\nfouud in the amount of cold necessary\nto cause the death of vegetation. Some\nplants dry out quickly and are killed\nbefore the freezing point is reached.\nMany plants will survive zero weather,\nand some die ouly at 20 degrees below. Certain vegetable growths never\nfreeze. There are forms of bacteria\nthat even when Immersed ln liquid air,\nthe intensest cold available, come out\nof their bitter bath as chipper and lively as ever.\nA proof of Germany's rapidly increasing wealth is that, while in 169j\n2.440,000 paid income tax, last yeir\n4,390,000 paid the tax.\nPrecious Plant Stones.\nAmong the many strange things to be\nfound in the Philippine Islands are\nthe so called \"plant stones\" encountered now and again ln certain vegetable\ngrowths.

In many thousand cane stalks\ncut down and carefully examined there\nmny perhaps be one In whicli this beautiful greenish pink scintillating stone\nhas been formed from the minute particles of siliceous deposit that imparts\nits intense hardness to tho outer covering of the cane.

The.defects might\nhave beou remedied, probably removed,\nif only tak'eii early in life; hence the\nimperative necessity for the medical\niuspec'; _ of all school children.\nIt wns in this medical inspection that\nwould he found the \"young age\" pensions.

Baby's Own Tablets is th.\nlest medicine in the world to prevent summer complaint if given occasionally to well children, and will\nas promptly cure these troubles if\nthey come unexpectedly. But the\nprudent mother will not wait until\ntrouble comes\u2014she will keep her\nchildren well through an occasional\ndose of this medicine The Tablets\nought therefore, to be kept in the\nhouse at all times. Mrs. Charles\nWarren, Nevis, Sask., says: \"My\nlittle boy was greatly troubled with\nhis stomach and bowels, but a few\ndoses of Baby's Own Tablets wrought\na great change in him. I would not\nbe without the Tablets in the house.\"\nSold by all rr-idiciiie dealers or by\nmail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.\nWilliams Medicine Co., Brockville,\nOnt.\nBritish Naval Supremacy\nThe New York Post, speaking of\nBritish naval supremacy, says: The\nBritisli Admiralty is not satisfied with\nits recent extraordinary development\nof the torpedo boat-destroyer. In\n1S93 its largest boat of this type was\nthe Havoo, of 240 tons, 3.500 horsepower, and 26 1-2 knots. Five of the\nboats authorized in 1905 G are now\ntaking the water, the Ghurka and Af-\nridi having recently been launched.\nThese boats are of 790 tons, 14,500\nhorsepower, and have a speed of 33\nknots, three more than any of the destroyers owned by Germany, France\nor the United States, and are 200 tons\nlarger than tbe largest foreign boat.\nNot content with this leadership, the\nAdmiralty has laid down at Birkenhead the Swift, a destroyer of 1,830\ntons, 30,000 horsepower, with the phenomenal speed of no less than 36\nknot3 an hour. The Swift is to be an\nocean-cruising boat, with a great\nradius of action; and having the pace\nto overhaul any torpedo boat or destroyer, cruiser or battleship will truly become \"the eyes and ears of the\nfleet.\" But the Ghurka and the Swift\nhave high freeboards and are comfortable and livable vessels, instead of\nracing machines, which utterly exhaust thei,; crews in n few days. It\nis now apparent that in the eyes of\nthe Admiralty the torpedo cruiser and\ntorpedo gunboat are failures, the former because its scouting powers were\nsacrificed to its armament nnd the\nlatter because it wns neither a scout\nnor a destroyer. Only three 12-pound-\nors will be carried by the Ghurka,\nand four SB-pounders by the Swift. A\nclearer example of the way the Brit^\nish Admiralty leads the whole world\nin naval construction and development it would b'> hard to find.

'\nWhen left to itself, eczema runs on\nindefinitely, causing keen distress\nfrom itching and covering the body\nwith sores that refuse to heal.\nEven with careful treatment, .-c-\nzema is obstinate in yielding to curative measures, but the regular and\npersistent use of Dr. Chase's Ointment is the most certain means of\novercoming this torturing disease.\nInternal treatments for eczema\nhave long since been discarded, ex>\ncept the use of medicines to regulate\nthe bowels and enrich the blood,\nwhile local applications are used to\nrelieve the itching and heal the sores.\nIt is the remarkable success of Dr.\nChase's Ointment in the cure of eczema which has given it world-wide\nrecognition as the standard ointment\nfor itching skin diseases.\nMrs. Robert Clendenning, Welland\nStation, Ont., writes:\n\"For three years my daughter,\nFanny, was afflicted with eczema in\nan intense and persistent form. \u2022_\u2014d\nfor nine days she was totally blind.\nThe burning, itching and disfigurement were horrible, her entire face\nbeing completely raw for months\nand the distress so great that sho\n| could not sleep.\n1 \"The best efforts of two eminent\nphysicians failed to even mitigate\nher awful suffering.

The\nreally skilled embroiderer is equally\ncareful about her foundations.\nEvery slileli pul un uns preliminary\nwork pays many times over. It really\ndoes not take much extra time to pad\none's scallops aud flower petals, yet lt\nmakes u surprising difference tn the appearance of the finished work.\nMuny workers ure euger to begin\nwhat they call the embroidery at once,\nnot realizing that the underlaying is\nquite as important as Ihe covering\nstitches. Nor is this merely so as regards looks. No embroidery launders\nwell that is not firmly padded. It holds\nthe material In place and prevents it\nfrom pulling when washed.\nAlmost all padding should be run\nlengthwise of the design, aa the covering ls usually done across it. As good\na way as any to pad is to run the edges\nof a scallop or flower and fill up the\ncentre with chain stitches, or the whole\nthing can be chain-stitched. This stitch\nfills tn very rapidly and gives ths-. requisite smoothness without which no\nBatin stitch ever looks well.\nOrdinary darning cotton makes a very\ngood filling. If the work ls to be very\nmuch raised, more strands should be\nused, or the stitches can be put ln several layers, makin* it slightly higher\n'- -ie centre -*\nA jolly good time they were having.\nMiss Redbreast and young Mr. Robin\nseemed to like each other very much.\nTheir mothers were delighted,\n\"Let's take a little walk,\" said Mr.\nRobin.\nMiss Redbreast thought that would\nbe nice, so they hopped down under a\ncool green hedge.\nWhen they talked together quite a\nwhile Mr. Robin asked Miss Redbreast\nlf she didn't think she would like to\nbecome Mrs. Robin.\nShe drooped her head daintily and\nchirped, ever so low, that she thought\nperhaps she would.\nWhy naughty 'labby should have been\nlurking near the hedge no one knows,\nbut just as Mr. Robin was about to\nchirrup joyously she made a spring for\nlittle Miss Redbreast.\nMr. Robin saw Tabby leap. In a moment he had darted straight for her\neyes.\nMiss Redbreast got away in safety,\nbut brave Johnny Robin was killed.\nGreat was the grief among the Rob-\nIns and Redbreasts. Needless to say,\nthey went Into society no more that\nyear.\nThe Game of Castle King\nAN AMUSING game to play Is as\nfollows:\nChoose your King by some\ncounflng-out rhyme. Then he must\nstand on a high place and shout defiance to his foes. He taunts them with\nabusive epithets, such as:\n\"I'm king of the castle,\nGet down, you cowardly rogue.\"\nHe Is then assailed by the other players, every one struggling to capture his\nplace of eminence\u2014and he must try,\nalone, to maintain it.\nFair pulls and pushes are allowed, but\nno clothes must be pulled, under penalty of being set v-slde as prisoner of\nwar, which really seans expulsion from\nthe game.\nSometimes the I In- is permitted to\nhave an assistant or ally, who, however,\ndoes nothing but stand by and see lhat\nthere Is fair play. It ls his duty to capture any one who breaks this rule.\nOf course, ere long the king ls bound\nto be overcome by some strong assailant, who finally wins the coveted place,\nand the first king has to retire to the\nranks and fight for the place lf he wishes to recover lt. et,\nThis game ls called Castle King,\nCAPTURING A SAWFISH\n{{I ET'S go out some distance to-\nI day, Instead of hugging tha\n\u2022*-* shore,\" cried Jim, giving the\nboat a shove and then leaping to his\nplace.\nJoe nodded assent. \"Yes,\" said he:\n\"here we've spent a whole week of our\nvacation on the coast and haven't ever\nbeen much further than a stone's throw\nIrom the shore. There's not the sign of\na squall so I think we can risk a good\nlong row.\"\nThe water was smooth and they made\ngood headway. After rowing for an\nhour, Jim suggested that they rest on\ntheir oars and have something to eat.\nTheir lunch was not yet finished and\nthe boat was idly drifting along when\nthere was a sudden rush of water as a\nwicked monster crashed into the boat,\npiercing the side with a long, saw-like,\nbony projection.\n\"It's a sawfish!\" yelled Joe. \"We've\ngot to boat the rascal off or he'll sink\nthe boat!\"\nA PERILOUS SITUATION.\nFinding itself unable to gain its freedom, the sawfish turned and swam toward the shore, towing the boat with it.\nlt kept right on its course until the\nboat grounded on the beach. Several\nmen were watching, with great surprise, the boat come rapidly toward\nthem, and they now helped in dragging\nthe boat and fish up the beach.\nThe sawfish when measured proved to\nbe a monster, indeed, and you may be\nsure that Jim and Joe were prou'* -f\ntheir strange catch.\nTapir as a Pet\nHE IS a funny-looking animal, isn't he, to have for a pet? But t_.\ntapir is one of the favorites of the keepers nt a zoo in Germany.\nSo affectionate and playful is he that they nil enjoy a frolic witli.\nhim. Whenever a keeper enters his cage Le always searches through hi*\npockets for some dainty, which he is almost sure to find.\nIn South America, from where the tapir is brought, he is not regarded!\nas such a friend, for he is so fond of the young and tender leaves of plants.\nthat he does great damage among the plantations. As he sleeps by day\nand seeks his fo\"d by night, it is so much more difficult to keep him front\ndoing harm.\nLegend of the Stork\nHe Knew.\nLady (whose sister is singing in next\nroom)\u2014How do you like the song, Jimmy?\nJimmy\u2014That's all right; you can't fool\nme. I know a phonograph when I hear\n\u25a0 one.\nThe Magic Bridge\nttERE Is a game known as Maglo\ni**l Bridge. All the children join hands\nand form a ring. If there are many\nof them, there should be several bridges,\nsay, four, in the ring, at regular Intervals from each other.\nThe bridges are formed by two children, who raise their joined hands for\nthe others to pass under. They are not\nformed till the leader gives the signal.\nSome one will kindly play at the piano\u2014any lively march or dance, to\nwhich the children can keep merry step,\nsinging as they go. They pass once,\ntwice or oftener around the circle; then\nthe leader, who stands ln the centre,\nmust give a signal where the bridges\nare to be made.\nImmediately the eight children who\nreceive ' the signal raise their joined\nhands\u2014two for each bridge, four bridges\naltogether; and all the other children\npass under the bridges, dancing or\nmarching to the music.\nThen the .eader gives the signal for\nthe bridges to be demolished. The circle\nformB again as at flrst. Then new\nbridges are signaled for, to be formed\nby different sets of children; the rest\npaSB under these new bridges.\nAnd so lt goes as long as the children\nenjoy lt. Very pretty game.\nTH\u2014\u2014E was once a sultan of Turkey\nwho gathered around him as his\ncounselors all the wise men of his\ndominions. The sultan himself was very\nwise,, but he could not help playing\njokes upon the dignified advisers.\nFor several months the sultan had\nenjoyed not a single trick. He began\nto fear that he would soon be growing\ndull unless something happened to\namuse him.\nThat day he directed his slaves to\nthoroughly oil the broad steps that led\nto the palace. He then sent word to all\nhis counselors that he wished to see\nwould to keep his footing, each dignified gentleman slipped upon the oll_r\nsurface and rolled to the bottom of tht\\\nsteps. The sultan roared with laughter. This was for him the best Joke he-\nhad ever played.\nBut one of the wisest of the advisers,\nwho knew all about magic, was oo.\nangry at being treated in this way tb\u00bbt\nhe changed the sultan Into a stork.\nAnd the stork to this day, though a\nwonderful old bird, you know, sometimes does such foolish things as bringing you a baby brother when you want:\na sister or a baby sister when you want,\na brother to play with.\n M,\nGets Fish in Ice Cake.\nC. E. Comley, proprietor of a summer resort at Black Lake, Wis., captured a forty-pcund muskellonge in at.\npeculiar manner. Cumley, with a force\nof men, was harvesting ice in a shallow bay of the lake, where the water-\nwas frozen solidly to the white sand!,\nbottom. The great fish was found\nfrozen In the crystal Ice, and an oblong-,\npiece was sawed out and the flBii taken,\nto Rhlnelander. The Ice was placed In-\na tank at a restaurant, and when It\nmelted the fish was found to be stllll\nalive and apparently none the worse for-\nhaving been frozen in the solid Ice *iii\nwinter.\ni THB SULTiA-N'B JOKB .(\\ ''\nthem at a certain time In the afternoon. Placing his chair at the head of\nthe steps, the sultan seated himself upon it, chuckling.\nAs the hour appointed arrived the\nwise men appeared. But try as he\nBobby's Strategy.\nQuite a number were present at dfir\u2014\nner, and Bobby found hlmBClf entirely\noverlooked.\nHaving waited patiently for sometime and receiving nothing to eat, at\nlast he Inquired loudly If some on_\nwould klndiy give him some mustard.\n\"What do you want with the mustard^\nBobby?\" asked his mother.\n\"To go with whnt you have already\ngiven me,\" he cheerfully explained.\nBobby received all he wanted there.\"-\nafter. .1\ni , -*_-*p \u2014_______-\u2014__\u2014\u2014-\u00ab . \u2014-y -jr\na\nY\nES,\" announced the princess, \"I\nshall be happy to take a husband should there be one found\nto my liking.\"\nThe whole day before the princess\nhad sat deep ln thought, scarcely tasting the food placed before her. It was\nonly that morning that the ministers of\nstate had respectfully called upon hs*\nand suggested that lt would please her\npeople overmuch should she take a husband. The king, her father, had been\nkilled while hunting a full year ago,\nand the queen had died soon afterward from grief. While the princess\nwas as wise as she was beautiful, still\nher sv\".jects felt the kingdom needed\nthe flirn hand of a king\u2014therefore this\nrequest.\nNow, a princess so young and beautiful could have no lack of suitors, but\nthen she was very, very hard to please,\nso that a proclamation was sent far and\nwide telling the world of her desire to\nchoose a husband.\nSoon the courtiers began to arrive\nfrom far and near. Some were tall and\nsome were short; some were fat and\nsome were lean; but all bore high-sounding titles and possessed great wealth. ,\nEach bestowed upon her a magnificent\ngift\u2014that is, all except one. Exactly |\none hour before the trumpet blew announcing the close of the time for all\naspirants to appear, there was admitted\nto the court a youth who, though very\nhandsome, had come on a forlorn-\nlooking horse and whose clothes werei\ndecidedly threadbare. 1\nAdvancing toward the throne, hei\nhumbly knelt before the princess and I\nbegged her to accept the gift he hand- .\ned her\u2014a poor, little bouquet of roses.\nCarelessly hidden smiles of scorn could\nbe seen on the faces of the other suitors.\nThe princess who, until now, had been\nwearily looking on this scene, seemingly not In the least Interested, now\nroused herself. Graciously taking the\nflowers, she asked, not unkindly:\n\"And whom have I the pleasure of addressing?\"\nAt this the noble courtiers around\nsmiled broadly. Surely the princess\nmust be making sport of this ill-kept\nstranger, a vagabond more fit for the\nalley thnn the court.\n'\"Tis I who have all the pleasure In the\naddressing, lovely princess,\" returned\nthe youth, and the words fell musically\nupon the ear. \"I am Prince Leo, of the\nKingdom of Orlaco. My father until\nrecently was ruler over that country.\nA short time ago he was slain by r\nneighboring monarch, and I despolle, (**>\nof my Inheritance, so that what I carry\n\"BRAVELY SPOKEN, PRINCE,\" MURMURED THE PDINCEflS\nwith me ls all that I possess. For all\nthat, 1 take courage to ask your hand,\nfor I feel lt will not be long ere my\nfaithful sword has won again a kingdom and a fortune for me.\"\n\"Bravely spoken, prince,\" murmured\nthe princess.\n\"Now,\" said she to all the assembled\nsuitors, \"for one year I shall test your\ncourage and fidelity. A year and a day\nand I shall expect to see you all here\nagain. He who then can tell of the\nmost glorious deedB accomplished during the year will be chosen as the prince\nof my kingdom. Till that day see that\neach wears faithfully the ribbon which\nI place tn his keeping as a token of his\nservice to me.\"\nEvery suitor pinned tho gage of the\nprincess to his breast. Then one and all\ndeparted.\nStrange to say, when they bad gone,\n'twas of the shabby prince that the\nprincess thought and 'twas for him\nshe sighed softly to herself\nJust a year and a day from the time\nthe princess sent her suitors forth a\nvast cavalcade entered the city. Some\nof the suitors, It is true, hud lost heart\neasily and did not seek to redeem their\nvows, but most of the aspirants returned, laden with spoils.\nOne had slain a mighty dragon; another had killed twelve men single-\nhanded In battle; another had conquered a wild, unknown country, bringing\nback with him a company of slaves;\nslill nnother had captured a untuorn;\nnnd so on.\nThere lacked but one hour for the\ntrumpet to blow, closing tiie gates, and\nstill the shnbby prince did not appear.\nThe princess found herself looking for\nliim, and when she could not see him\nshe grew uneasy, she knew not why.\nJust then there came through thn\ncourtyard the largest horse in all the\nworld, bearing upon liis buck tho\nbodies of the seven greatest dragons.\nUpon these stood a tiny pnge.\nWhen bidden to speak, tlie little page\ncried, shrilly:\n\"I am sent by my master, the Prince\nLeo. He commands me to say that he\nwill be here before a quarter hour has;\npassed.\"\nTo bear out the page's words the-\nprlnee arrived, leading captive so large\nand mighty a giant that the room couldi\nscarce hold him. The court was astonished. \u2022\nOne by one the suitors told nf what\nthey had done. Truly, their deeds had\nbeen great and glorious enough to satisfy any princess.\nLast of all, Prince Leo arose. Sad Is,\nhe stood before tho princess, with hen'\nhead.\n\"Oh. most beautiful princess,\" pleaded he, \"do not ask me to relate my adventures, for it can be of no good.\"\nThe princess exclaimed In wonder-!\n'Why not? It appears that you hnvo-'\ncaptured the most terrible glnnt, killed\nthe seven largest dragons, conquered tho-\ngreatest horse and, I hear, won throe.-\nkingdoms and done other mights- deeds\nCertainly it seems to me tlmt vou hnve\ndone even better than these noble\nprinces.\"\n\"That may be,\" mournfully replied r-Jli--\nprince, \"but I return wit limit thy anew \"'\nThe face of thn princess paled. \"Perhnps you dropped 11 In your encounters\nwith the giant; or mnyho when, yoUi\nslew the dragons; or, ngnin, wli^n vou\nwrestled with the horse,\" she suggested *\nThe prince silently shook hia head.\nMore and more perplexed grew the-\nprincess.\n\"Well,\" said the prince, \"since S'ouil\npress me 1 shnll tell hosv 1 chanced tot\nlose it. I was entering the city but an,\nhour ngo, when I snw by tlie gnte nv\nlittle girl crying as though her heart\nwould brenk.
