WHY HAROLD WEPT.

His Explanation Probably Was Not
Pleasing to HIS Mothers Visitor.
A few days ago a woman who lives
on unkindly terms with her years and
who does her best with rouge and
paint to keep them iu the background
called at the home of a pretty young
matron with one son, says the New
York Evening Post The little fellow
sat in the room during the call, and
was observed to be closely scanning
the visitors features. She had not
been an ill-favored woman at one
time, and would have made pretty
old ladv if she had been willing to let
herself appear SO. But the affectation
OF .uvenility really did make her hor-
rible. After little while, though
Harold sat very STILL big tears began
to roll over his cheeks aud drop down
on his short trousers. He made no
outcry and no effort to stop them, but
just sat there and let himself weep
piteously and silently. Finally the
mothers attention was attracted.
"Why HaroldP" what is the matterp"
she cried, ''are you ill?n
No, Harold wasn'tilL
"Then why are you crying?" she
| insisted.
"Oh, mamma" he burst out I'm
crying to think that when you're old
may be you'll look as awful as that old
woman does"

away from her."
At the close of the sermon Mr. Bar
rett as is his custom, passed down
the aisle, shaking hands with the
congregation. Among them was a
good old lady. who had given partic-
ular attention TO the words OF the
speaker. She, however did not rec

her hand and said:
Good morning, sister; I hope you
are en-. Dying good health"
Well, yes, l am. But brother

inquired.
Mr.. Barrett somewhat nonpulsed.

Barrett, replied the preacher,
"and at present he is pastor of the

A moment or so later and the lady
turned to another lady and inquired;

the one addressed. who having heard
the conversation. was considerably
amused.

One OF our boys was over in the
Mohawk Valley one day. and on that
same day couple Of chaps came into
village on TIN peddler's wagon.
says the New York Times They
were driving horse which could have
fooled no one but hayseed. Any
one posted on the points OF a trotter
would have put him down as good for
less than three minutes. This was in
the olden days when horse showing
a clip of 2;50 was looked upon as
marvel.
The peddlers found the usual crowd
at the village tavern. and it didn't
take them two hours to getup match
with the boss trotter OF the neighbor-
hood. It was best two in three for $50
and the tin-wagon horse won both
heats in 2:55. 1t was evidently put,
up job to skin the rustics. and, as
they were headed our way, we de-
termined to be ready for them. We
sent hundred miles after a trotter.
scraped our dollars together, and the
day the peddlers arrived we had our
nag drawing manure with cart The
peddlers arrived about IL o'clock, and
after dinner as we all sat on the
veranda one Of them carelessly in
quired:
''Got anything in horse flesh to brag
of herep"
"One purity fair hoss.n replied the
village cooper, who had dreadfully
innocent look on his fatherly face.
''Can he goP"
''Wall, he's cleaned 'em so fur"
Our old hoss does a mile fairly
we'll"
"Yes?"
'And, just for the fun of the thing,
we sometimes trot him.
''Yesp"
Can't we get up a go?"
'Wall, our hoss is no cheap ami
NAL. We'd want to make it 800 at
least"
''We'd rather make 1t $780,
In ten minutes we had the money
up and the race agreed to. We had
no track, but the highway was broad
and smooth and it was to be a mile
straight away. The peddlers brought
in sulky they had left just out of
town, our horse was provided with
another. and every man, woman, and
child in that town turned out The
race was square up and up, and our
horse got the first heat by three good
lengths. We saw that the peddlers
were puzzled and anxious, but they
had sand, and each put up his watch
for S20 more. 1t was fair, even
start on the second heat. and the pace
was even for quarter of a mile.
Then our horse began drawing away,
and when he went under the string
he was thirty feet ahead The ped
dlers gave up the stakes, sat down by
themselves and had a talk. then the
spokesman finally moved over to
where the cooper stood, and said:
1--WE see through it and we cant
squeal. As for your getting an old
ringer to match ours. we haven't any
fault to find. but what harrows up oul

ONLY A MuMMY,s HEAD.
A Horrible Relic that is Creating Gre


Interest In Kansas City.
Librarian Herbert Putnam was
found by a Kansas City Times re-
porter in his office, musing over the
blackened head OF an Egyptian num-
my. 1t was the one presented by w.
B. Palmer to the public library and
had Just been received. In one sense
of the word it was a horrid looking
object, yet to one versed in the an
til uities and in love with ancient his
tory it could prove nothing but inter
esting.
ii do not know who this was or
anything about it, said Mr.. Putnam,
as the reporter entered. s.'Its history
is dead to the world Mr.. Palmer
says he found it near Thebes, Egypt
A great many curious things are un-
earthed in Egypt every day. The
khedive is verv anxious that distin-
guished visitors should unearth some
wonderful things and sends guides
along to aid them. One aide-de-camp
went along with a party which failed
to find anything, and the khedive was
so chagrined that he discharged him
at least so the story goes. Now, an
aide-de-camp who wishes to remain
popular and retain his position always
manages to have the party he escorts
make find. even II he has to go
ahead and plant something,
II do not suppose Mr.. Palmer found
this mummy's head In that way, for
it is really good one and very
valuable. But was simply explain
ing how some OF the antiquities are
