he was seedy-looking man, seedy
from the toes of his unpublished boots to
the top of his shabby old beaver, and
even his hair, which came down on his
coat collar behind, looked as if it had
run to seed also. He was in the news

and was reading file of the Denver
Tribune. When he had finished he

''Well, I'm devoted to 'em, especially
to female statistics; that is, of course,
to statistics concerning the gentler sex,
and I've been week looking up some
figures on this elopement epidemic that
seems to have taken the country by
storm. Would you like to hear some

''Yes."

and since then the papers have had ac-
counts OF 81 runaway matches, PSI OF
the women being under 20 years of
age, and of that lot 236 were blondes,
so you see that light-haired girls are
most romantic; my figures say so, and
figures never lie. OF the other SO who
skipped off 20 were under %
years old, IA between 25 and 80,
and the other ranged from 81 to
forty-six, the last being an old hen who
eloped with young man who turned
out to be feeble-minded. One old girl
started and changed her mind, and
went home again for fear the papers
would print her age. Only nineteen
did the thing in real out-and-out style,

riage waiting at the garden gate bust

parsons as if they'd been going to the
butchers or the grocer's, or skipped
off by train after telling some tib or
other about going to pay visit to their
aunt or their cousins or friend; 121 of
the lot came back with their husbands,
and were forgiven; sixty-two stern pa
rents have played the hard-hearted Mo-
rosini racket. and there are no returns
so far from the rest of the list. Boston
seems to have had the fever worse than
anywhere else, and there have been

''How many of the women ran of

Arctic Fascination.

It is announced that one of the re-
Gently rescued Arctic adventures wants
to 90 again. There seems to be a fas-
cination in this quest that almost
invariably draws men back to it who
have once attempted it. Their hard
ships and sufferings always evoke great
sympathy. The heart of the Nation is
wrung for them. But their desire to
plunge again into the perils out of
which they have been rescued suggests
the possibility that there are personal
compensations in this venture which
render so much sympathy misplaced.
There must be some charm about the
free life in the Arctic regions which
greatly mitigates the personal expert
ence of hardships. 1t used to be the
fashion to waste good deal of sympa-
thy on missionaries from New England
to the East; and they got great deal
of credit for their abandonment OF
home and voluntary exile among for
eien races. But it was noticed that
whatever the hardships, and they were
many, of their foreign residence,
they in time liked the life and chung to
it. And when it was realized that the
escape from the New England climate
into one genial the year round, and in
to conditions where living was much
easier than here, was some compensa-
ton for missionary devotion, the sup
porters of missions could devote their
whole energies to forwarding the work
of evangelization without wasting so
much sympathy on the agents of it.
IF people like to go into the Arctic
regions from love of adventure and a
free life, there is no objection to their
going, if they can raise the means. To
get nearer the geographical pole than
ANYBODY else is as noble an ambition as
for a boy to go out farther on the limb
of gigantic oak than any other boy.
We all appreciate acts of daring. But
we think think that this Arctic bust
ness might as well be considered per-
sonal matter, and not a case for so
much sympathy on the part of those
who are fond of it, and find it more fas-
cinating than hum-drum, industrious
life at home. 1t does not appear that
thepeople generally are to gain thing
by it, or that it is the sort OF adventure
that the Government ought to engage
in. The idea of establishing weather
bureau in the highest attainable Iati-
tudes seems to be abandoned as OF no
practical value, and no commercial ad-
vantages are possible in sending yes
sci occasionally to get caught in the ice
and abandoned. That some men can
endure the rigor of an Arctic winter,
and that the most can not has been
sufficiently demonstrated. We know
the whole dreary story. The incidents
lof one Arctic expedition are much like

False Teeth Among the Ancients.

There is reason to believe that tho
Greeks and Romans knew something
about false teeth. Martial, In one Of his
epigTams, says that That's teeth were
discolored, while Lecania's were white.
Whyf Because the former wore her
own teeth, whereas the latter wore those
of some other person. There was an
old Roman law which allowed the gold
settings of false teeth, or the gold with
which they were bound, to be buried or
burned with the deceased. There is also
some indication that the Greeks were
wont to extract teeth and to fill up de-
cayed teeth with gold. The Sunda
islanders at the present day are in the
habit of employing their old women to
dress up the teeth Of the youths and
maidens at wooing time; the canine
teeth are filed to fine, smooth edge,
and the body of the tooth made con-
cave, or they will notch the edge Of
the teeth like a fine saw, as an add
tional means of identifying. An imperial
toothache once made the fortune of
poor barber. The late Sultan of Tur-
key, Abdul Aziz, having touch OF
toothache one day, sent for the court
physician; he was hunting, and conld
not be found. The .domestics buried
about Ccnstantinople, and at length
found apoor, ragged barber surgeon;
they took him to the palace and furnished
him up. He drew the offending tooth
and soothed the pain of the Commander
OF the Faithful. Whereupon a nice
house and sixty dollars month were
awarded to him. Boston RudQet.

I'd certainly stay to-day myself if only

It wouldn't be seen stayin' home
with nobody but yoa,'' Tommy began,
resentfully, but his father stopped him,
saying if he wished, he should stay by
himself, as he didn't think he was likely
to be disturbed.
Mrs. Watson was still little unde-
eided, remarking that she should feel
easier if there were neighbors nearer,
or if the railroad had not recently come
into use not far from their dwelling.
Thought Tommy was to be trusted
to most any extent,'' said Nelson, no.

''Well, SO | believe he is, said his
mother, confidently, as she went about
preparing for church.
At length all were ready for a start.
Look out for my napkin ring

gravely, as he left his little brother at
the door.
I'll swallow it whole myself, if ]
take notion,'' was the comforting re-
ply.
An hour passed swiftly, occupied by
Tommy in reading, looking at picture
books and gazing from the parlor win
dow. According to his mothers in
structions he had locked the front door,
bolted the back one, and now thought
he would set the dinner table, sure OF
a turnover in payment at no distant
day, from the indulgent Jane whom he
often helped in little ways.

after him, which fastened with spring.

saw his father and brothers in the dis

But moment later the boys and
several of the neighbors were running
towards the house.
After the poor wretch, who meant to
be so sly and sure, had been safely
quartered in the county Jail for the
night, to be sent to the city under-guard
next day, Tommy, for about the tenth
time, told the whole story over to his

TOMMY wEsToN.s COURAGE

A Little Boy Who Was Good to Have
Have Around in Case of an Emergency.
Mrs. Weston used to have droll way
of saying she liked all her boys" but
on more than one occasion she limited
plainly that in case of emergency she'd
about as soon have Tommy around as
any of the rest
Frank and Nelson, the older sons, won
dered at this repeated assurance, as they
regarded Tommy as "nothing but a
little shaver, as likely as not to be
frightened by his own shadow any
time"
Yes; but he never is frightened by
his own shadow all the same,' answers
mamma.
''Well, never want the child really
scared" said Frank, loftily, G. but if any
thing ever should happen to startle him,

fast.
"What inspires you with such won

Nelson one day.
of watching children in whom they re
interested, and finding them OUT was
the reply. ssThen / haven't forgotten
Tommy's proposal when the shed got
ATTIRE"
The boys remembered what Tommy
said then, and it's results also; and no
more was said.
When the shed, some six months be-
fore, was found to be on fire at one end,
while the older boys were excitedly de-
batting what they should do, Tommy
exclaimed resolutely:
''Well, I say, boys, let's run to the
kitchen and fill pals of water as fast as
we can, till the men come from dinner;
we can keep it down better that way
than we can by standing still talking !"
And Tommy's advice was taken, and
the shed was saved.
One bright Sunday morning, the en-
tire household, with the exception of
Tommy, was resolved to 60 to church.
A minister was to preach who was
particularly interesting to young people,
and man who interests the children
is sure to interest the older folks, too
But poor Tommy had bad cough, so
troublesome that the child felt unwilling
himself to disturb a great congregation
with his everlasting barking" as he
rather strongly expressed it.
''Wen now, don't know" said his
mother, ''about leaving Tommy in the
house alone. Jane is going to her
church; the men, of course, won't be
around until milking tonight, and so
perhaps I'd better remain here, too
