margin that mad to be mighty careful not
to overload myself with papers that l couldn't

Many Of our girl, do not know why old lace
is so much more valuable than new. The fact
is that the valuable old lace is woven in lost
patterns. II is frequently almost as fine as a
spiders web and cannot be Reproduced. Be
fore the time Of the French revolution whole
villages in France and Belgium supported
themselves 10y lace making, and patterns were
handed down from one generation to another
as heirlooms. The most celebrated weavcrs
always had al the orders they could execute
in lifetime and bound themselves by an
oath to WORK for certain dealers only When
tho Reign Of Terror began all work OF this
kind was interrupted. After the storm had
subsidized the dealers and workers We're far
epart-some dead some lost some escaped to
foreign lands and such Of the women a re-
manned were bound by taeir oath TO work for
but one This oath was held by the poorest
of them TO be binding, and there We're in

rather than brcHE their word. Some how
ever, taught their children and their grand
children, and many patterns we're in this way
preserved, and today specimens OF these laces
are worth their weight in gold

The Original Bluebeard.

The story of Bluebeard was written during
the reign of Louis XIV by q Frenchman
named Perrault, and was probably suggested
by the deeds of Giles do Laval, better known
as Marshal de Retz. This bloodthirsty char
acter was born in 1895, and subsequently
served under tho Duke of Bretagne and
Charles VII with distinction, and was one of
the trusted captains of Joan Of Arc. In 1882
he was reputed the richest man in France,
but quickly squandered his fortune. 1t is said
that soon after this event, through TIE inlu-
ence of an alchenlist named Prelati, Giles
pledged all but his soul TO the devil in ex-
change for wealth equal to that which he had
spent.
At al events, his career from that time be-
came that of q demon Young women, girls
OF tender age, and even little children were
nveisled into mis- strongly guarded castles
and never seen alive again. 1t is related that
the children were dangled at ropes ends
pricked with needles, and otherwise tortured
until dead, and their heads were afterwards
used as orname-Js for his mantels and bed
posts. After he had carried on this career Of
crime for about eight years he was arrested,
confessed, and burned at the stake about Dec.
o., 1440. The remains Of tifty-four Of his VIC
Tins were identified.

It is related Of Persian mother, on giving
her son forty pieces of silver as bis portion,
that she made him VOW never to tell q lie and
said:
eco, my SON. consign thee 70 God, and
we shall not meet again till the day Of iudg-
ment.n
The youth went away, and the party he
Travelled with were assaulted by robbers.
One fellow asked the boy what he had and he
answered with candor that surprised his
quescioner:
Forty dinars are sewed up in my gar
ments"
The robher laughed, thinking the hoy jest
ing Another asked the same question and
received the came answer. At last the chief
called him and asked him what he had The
boy replied;
II have told two Of your people already
that [ have forty dlnars sewcd up in my
clothes
The chief ordered his clothes to be ripped
open. and the money was found.
And how came you to do this"
Because replied the boy, Il would not be
false to my mother, whom | solemnly prom
ised never to tell lie
Child, said the chief, ''art thou so mind
full of thy mother, while l AN insensible, at
my age Of the duty l owe 10 Godi Give me
thy hand that may swear repentance on it"
He did So and his followers were struck
with the scene,
You have been our leader in guilt" they
sold to the chief; he the same in the rath of
virtue
And, taking the boys hand, they sworo re-
pentance on it. Boys, speak only that which
is true. You may do much good by it if you
never lead q band Of robbers TO God and hon

Don't Lift the Wire.

1t is always best to avoid danger, if posi-

be taught in every school in the United State,,
and that is, never lift an electric wire oif the
ground. As long us il is on the ground it Is
harmless, no matter what pressure may be
on it. The moment 1t Leaves the ground il
may be dangerous. II it is in the way Of
traffic you may safely pull it across the street
with your foot; then pat your foot on it and
hold IL on the ground and it cannot hurt you,
but do not lift it, Never touch wire tied on
Il pole 1t may not be dangerous, but 1t ~

Black Friday--How Spectators Got q
Corner In Gold.

blaCR Irlday-ilOW spectators Oot q
Corner In Gold.
Tho term "Block Friday" was first used in
England and was applied to the Friday on
which the nows reached London that Charles
Edward, the young Pretender, had arrived at
Derby. This created terrible panic. On
May II, 1906 the term was again used in
London, when the failure of Overend Guer-
ney g. Co., on the previous day, was followed
by widespread financial ruin. In Septem-
Der, 1869. occurred the celebrated Black Fri
dav in the United States. The cause of the
panic was the attempt made by Jay Gould
and others to create corner In the gold mar
ket by buying all the gold in the banks Of
New York city, amounting to $4,000, 900
For several days the value Of gold rose
steadily, and the spectators aimed to carry
it from IA to 200
On the Friday following Sept "a the
whole city was in ferment, the banks were
rapidly selling, gold was at 1921 and still
rising. Men became insane, and everywhere
the widest excitement ragged, for it seemed
probable that the business houses must be
closed from ignorance of the prices to be
charged for goods But in the midst of the
panic it was reported that Secretary Bout
we'll, Of the United States treasury, had
thrown 100000 in gold on the market, and
at once gold fell and the excitement ceased.
1t is estimated that the profits Of Gould and
his partners were at least Sll 100000.
