Last evening about supper time, while
the dining-room was crowded, the guests
at the Centennial Hotel were thrown into
state of CONSERVATION and excitement
by hearing cries and shrieks coming from
apparently an unknown quarter. Some
thought the house was haunted, and others
were satisfied that the cries were human.
A speedy search was made, and it was
soon discovered that the balcony was the
point whence the sounds emanated, and
the voices belonged to two little pets
OF the household-Pearly Bateman and
Rosa-the daughters Of the housekeeper

ner that is familiar to the older folks, but
was somewhat new to them. Together
they had walked on the balcony. the rail
of which is of iron. and as the frost looked
so tempting they had decided to lick 1t of.
The result was, OF course, that both were
glued to the iron. and, luckily, instead Of
attempting to release themselves by force,
they began a series Of shrieks. DR.. Beall,
who was on hand, promptly procured q
pitcher Of hot water, and soon, the iron
absorbing the heat, the youngsters were
released.

Girls, you needn't be beautiful to be-

girl ever saw was the favorite in my
native town. Everybody liked her.
Beautiful? o no, she is not beauti-
ful-that is outside, but inside she is
an angel. Nobody thinks of calling
her beautiful. Not one of dozen can
tell whether her eyes are black or blue.
If YOU should ask them to describe her.
they would only say: "She is just
right" and there it would end. She is
a merry-hearted, fun-loving, bewitch-

malice in her whole composition. She
