A Delighted Apple. Woman.

OF ex-Mayor Green, of Boston, the
Gazette of that city relates the following
story: "Apoor old apple woman form
erly had stand in front of the United
States Courthouse, at the corner of
Temple Place and fremont Street.
Some time ago she was ordered away,
and she moved her stand to one locality
after another, but neither her customers
nor her profits followed her. The ex-
Mayor learned of her misfortune, and
comforted her with the assurance that
he would see to it that she got good
location again if she would be patient.
He accordingly addressed a personal
letter to the Secretary of the Treasury
in Washington, telling that official OF
the apple woman's misfortune, adding
that she was the mother of fourteen
rosy-faced children. The ex-Mayor for
warded the endorsement of Assistant
United States Treasurer Kennard. Dis
trict Attorney Sanger, and United States
Marshal Banks, and an application was
promptly forwarded to Washington re-
questing that the apple woman be al
lowed to resume her old stand. A
prompt response was received, and di-
rections We're sent to the proper official
here to allow the apple woman to oc-
cupy her old place. The directions were
promptly obeyed and the apple woman
is happy"

Wouldn't Tell.

Socrates used to put his questions in
such way that they could be answered
only by eyes" OF ''no." By skillful
questioning, he proceeded step by step
from one styes' to another, until his
opponent found himself in corner
from which there Was no escape. This
method is called ''the Socratic method
of debate.''
1t works well when he who asks the
questions has clearly in view the point
which he wishes to establish. But when
the questioner is in the dark as to the
subject he is inquiring about, and is
seeking for light, then the Socratic
method is useless. If, however. he can
guess at the answer, 'syes" or ''no"
may show whether the guess is right or
wrong. 1t was after this fashion that
the teacher of New England district
school correctly Jumped at q con-
clusion."
This teacher, whom we will call Miss
L, taught fifty-seven boys and girls,
from six to sixteen years of age, divided
into half-a-dozen different classes. One
day, while she was hearing class in
arithmetic, some one in the back part
of the room whistled. As this was not
the first time such noises had been heard,
Miss l. resolved to end them by
making an example of the offender.
Being uncertain as to who was the guilty
one, she began series of inquiries.
ssCharlie Smith, did you whistle
thenp" she sternly demanded of the boy
who generally had finger in all the
mischief.
"No, ma'am.'
"SureP You didn't whistle parti-
clep"
"No, ma'am," he persisted. 81 didn't
do it bit.
"Well, do you know who didP"
mo. ma'am, 1 DON'T
Then Miss l. called up another
scholar and put the same question, with
a similar result.
Thus questioning each one in turn she
went through the school. All denied
having made the noise; some did not
not know who did and others refused to
tell. Miss L. said:
"Some one here has told a lie in an
swer to my first question. Who that
some one is you all probably know. My
1 second question you have either refused
to answer, or have told falsehood. I
consider you all equally guilty and shall
punish you all alike-fve sharp strokes
of the rattan. Number one come for
ward!'
One by one the scholars received five
stinging blows on the hand. Only one
disobeyed-a little girl whose unruly
temper was well known. She stoutly
refused to hold out her hand.
Then you must go home immedi-
7 ately," said Miss l., t.and don't ev-
er expect to return. Here! get your
books and take them with your'
Sobered by this summary treatment
the scholars bent over their books and
indulged in no more disorder.that day,
Miss l. dropped the subject until,
after school was closed, she met one ol
her pupils alone.
Why didn't you tell me, Johnny -
she inquired, .'who whistled in school?'
"I wouldn't be SO mean as to bla6 or
anybody"
aBut you ought to; then you wouldn'
have been punished, and only the guilty
one would have suffered. Will you tel
me nowp'
"No, ma'am; don'twant to tell tales

'But the one who whistled didn't ge
punished, did she?'

"No, swear I won't"
'I'm sorter feared. Ride up closer

Moore wanter know whar you got your
information you won't tell 'em, you
say?" and the blacksmith looked around
anxiously, moved uneasily and looked
toward the woods.

can you'll give me five dollars to
tell you exactly wharyo are?"
"Yes."
"Gimme your money"
The money was paid over, and the
blacksmith cautiously putting it in his
pocket, looked around again and said

-Caen, in France, has the advantage

The Pistol Fool.

The pistol has harvest of victims
every week. The circumstances are
accidental or criminal, sometimes both
and often criminally accidental. The
sad case of Beal who was shot by
Frickett on Sound steamer, the two
men being partners in business at
Boston, is common illustration near
home. Frickett heard noise, woke
and blazed away. killing his partner.
We are not surprised to hear that he is
"completely unnerved;'' that is as
natural as that ga gloom" should be
''thrown over the entire community"
when leading citizens shoot each other
down South, and no arrests follow. One
singular reason given for Frickett's
sleeping with pistol under his pillow
is that he has done SO since his marriage
because 'shis wife was of nervous
temperament" A wife of such a nerv-
Gus temperament that she requires a
loaded revolver in bed to calm her silly
fears would be genuine home comfort
for the Gear.
Generally the pistol fool wakes up
and shoots his wife. Such instances
are frequently reported in our news
columns. Sometimes, however, he does
not live to get married, but only to be
refused. In that case he resorts newt
ably to his revolver. He resents tie
exercise of woman's unquestioned right
to refuse proposals of marriage as a
crime to be avenged only in blood; he
invests in cheap revolver and peppers
her, and then perhaps shoots himself
the Workmanship in both cases being
generally bad. A man who will take
this way of ending love affair is first
class idiot.
The murder of whole family at
Brooklyn was all due to pistol idiocy.
The brother of the murdered man be-
lieves that the mother had a pistol and
in excitement shot her boy, that the
father tried to take the pistol from he1
and shot her, and then, realizing that
the boy was dead to whom he was
devoted, shot himself.-Springfeld
