WOman's Physical Superiority.
ROBERT ]. BURDETTE,

True, she cannot sharpen a pencil,
and, outside of commercial circles,
she can't tie a package to make it
look like anything save a crooked
cross-section of chaos but see what
she can do with a pin 4! l believe
there are some women who could al
most pin glass knob to door. She
cannot walk so many miles around a
billiard table.with nothing to eat and
nothing Ito speak of to driak. but
she can walk the floor all night with
fretting baby, without going sound
asleep the first half hour. She can
ride five hundred miles without 60
ing into the smoking car to rest land
get away from the children.) She
can 60 to town and do a wearisome
days shopping. and have good
time with three or four friends with
out drinking keg of beer. She can
enjoy an evening visit without smok.
ing half dozen cigars. She can en-.
dure the torturing distraction of a
house full of children all day. while
her husband cuffs them bowling to
bed before he has been home an hour.
Every day she endures a dress that
would make an athlete swoon. She
will not. and possibly cannot, walk
five hundred miles around a tan-bark
track in six days for FIVE thousand
dollars. but she can walk two hund-
red miles, more or less, up and down
the crowded aisles of a dry-goods
store when there is a reduction sale
on. She is afraid of mouse. and
runs from COW, but a book agent
can't scare her. She is the salt of the
church, the pepper of the choir, the
life of the sewing society, and about
all there is of young ladies school
or a nunnery. A boy with sister is
fortunate, a young man with q sweet
heart is happy, fellow with a cousin
is to be enYied, and a man with a
wife is thrice blessed more than they
all.

A Departed Editors Reward.

An editor died and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: "For many
years thou hast borne the blame for
the many errors the printers made In
the papers. The paper has gone for
dollar and half and the 81 so, ,salas !
has failed to come in. The printers
have bedeyiled thee for wages Satur-
day night when thou hadst not one
cent to thy name. Men have taken
the paper without paying for it, and
cursed thee for not getting upa better
paper. Thou hast been called a dead
beat by passenger conductors when
thou hast shown the annual pass to
their envious gaze. All these thou
hast borne In silence. Thou canst
not come in here" And as he did 80
he murmered to himself, "Heaven is
his home, and besides il we let him
come in here he would have been con.
tinualIy duhning his delinquent sub.
scribers, and thus create discord In
my kingdom"

The Invalid Child.

Once knew a workingman-a
potter by trade-who had one small
invalid child at home. He wrought
at his trade with exemplary fidelity,
being always in the shop with the
opening of day. He managed. how
ever. to bear each evening to the
bedside of the "wee lad" as he called
him, flower or bit of ribbon, a
fragment of crimson glass-indeed.
anything that would lie out on the
white counterpane and give color in
the room. He was quiet, unsenti-
mental Scotchman, but never went
he home at nighttall without some
trinket, showing that he had remem-
bered the wan face that lit up so
when he came in.
presume he never said to a living
soul that he loved that sick boy so
much still he went on patiently
loving him. And by and by ne
moved that whole shop into positive
Iy real but unconscious fellowship
with him. The wOrkmen made cur
ious little jars and tea cups upon their
wheels, and painted diminutive pic
lures down their sides before thev
stuck them in corners # the kiln at
burning time. One brought some
fruit in the bulge of his apron, and
another some engravings in rude
scrap book. Not one of them all
whispered a word, for this solemn
thing was not to be talked about.
They put them in the old mans hat
where he found them so he under
stood all about it. And 1 tell you
seriously, that entire pottery, full of
men of rather coarse fiber Uy nature,
grew quiet as the months drifted, be-
coming gentle and kind, and some Of
the ungoverned ones stopped swear
ing as the weary look on their pa
tient fellow-worker's face told them
beyond any mistake that the ineYi-
table shadow was drawing nearer.
Every day now somebody did piece
of his work for him, and put il upon
the sanded plank to dry, thus he
could come later and 60 earlier.
So, when the bell tolled and the
little coffin came out of the door of
the lowly house, right around the
corner out of sight, there stood hun
dred stalwart workingmen from the
pottery. with their clean clothes on,
most of whom gave a halliday Of
time for the privilege of taking off
their hats to the simple procession,
filing in behind it, and following
across the village green to its grave
that small burden OF a child, which
probably not one of them had eyer
seen with his own eyes.-Anon.

lty on the part of the general public
to know the mere money estimation
IN which more or less beautiful arti-
cles are held. Here are a few some-
what remarkable examples of lavish
expenditure
The highest priced piano in Amer.
lea is owned by III. G. Marquand, of
this city. The case, which was built
In London. was designed and painted
by Alma Tadema. 1t cost SAG 900.
Sir Donalp Smith, OF Montreal, ia
the owner of the costliest piano ever
made in this country. 1t cost when
landed in Montreal. $4,000.
The most expensive sideboard ever
made in the United States is owned
oy Judge Henry E. Packer, of Mauch
Chunk, Pa. 1t covers the whole side
OF room and was built for S47. 900.
II is marvel of elaborate and beau.
tiful carving.
Mr.. Marquand is the posessor of
the costliest billiard table in the
country. The price was S25. 900.
j. w. Mackay furnished about
s'o,o00 in weight of silver, and paid
9l2O'O00 for the work on his dinner
service, which thus represents s195.
900.
The costliest string of pearls In this
country belongs to New York lady
and cost SIS, 900.
Another New York lady has sol.
itaire diamond ring for which she
paid S48,O00.
The late Mrs. Morgan paid $3.50,
600 for her necklace.
Mrs. Hicks-Lord is the owner of a
diamond necklace which cost $3.50.
900.
The famous picture by Meissonier
called "1SO7" was painted for the late
A. L. Stewart. At the sale of his
gallery, Henry Hilton bought it for
S66,5OO and presented it TO the Me-
tropolitan museum, where 1t now
hangs, the costliest painting in Amer.
lea.
Sir Donald Smith is the posessor of
the highest-priced painting in Cam
ada. "The Communicates" by Jules
Breton. Cost at the Seney sale s4s,.
900.
W. w. Corcoran. of Washington,
paid the highest recorded price for an
American picture. 1t is Church's
"Niagra." and the price was $4,000,
1t was reported that Legrand Lock-
wood paid $4,000 for Bierstad's
"Domes of the Yosemite," but as at
the distribution of his effects the pic
ture brought less than $500 the first
price was probably a fable.
In the Lenox library is a perfect
copy of the Mazarin or Gutenberg
bible, the first book printed with
movable types. 1t is worth S25, 1000,
and nothing better has ever been
done since. Brayton Ives, of this
city. has an imperfect copy, for which
he paid $4,000.
j. F. Irwin. of Osw ego. paid So.
600 for a bible. 1t was originally in
three volumes, but by the insertion
ofwoodcuts, manuscripts. engrayings
and etchings has been expanded to 60
imperial folio volumes.
Of the original edition of the son.
nets of William Shakespeare, pub
lished by George Daniel, of London,
in 1909, theIe are two perfect copies,
One is in the British museum. For
the other $4,000 was paid. 1t is
little book about 7 by inches In
size. A somewhat hardheaded clerk
figures that it cost $3.50 an ounce.
A sixteenth.century vellum manu-.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-COngressman
McShane. of Nebraska. member of the
house committee on Indian affairs, says:
81 suppose the bill for opening the
Sioux reservation will be finally dis
posed of favorably by the committee
Tuesday next. It will he unanimous
report when concluded. There is con-
siderable discussion and disagreement
in the committee concerning the rail-
road clauses. For my part, l am in
favor of preparing those clauses with
care so as to avoid trouble in the house
when the bill comes up next month for
discussion and final action. would
rather cut the railway matter out of the
bill. it possible, and let them stand
upon their own merits. They are riders
and have no place upon the BILL"
Can you have them taken out and
pr pared in separate bill?"
II do not know as to that, Just vet. |
shall only hope that such may be the
final disposition of the clause which has
kept the reservation closed for so long.
If possible l hope that something of this
kind may be done to facilitate action.
am neither for nor against the rights of
the railroad, but would rather see them
stand for their own rights independent
of this bill.'
"What do you think of the Dawes
bill, as reported in the senate, and
Dawes recent interviews"
IL am In no position to comment upon
either. 1t would be discourteous for
me to criticise the bill of the senate
committee while am a member of the
house committee, and l do not care to
criticise the Dawes interview. Critics
are plenty, and do not want to become
one of that craft.''
