NEW YoRK. July is.-Tello DApery. New
York's most famous boy editor, is reaping
| The bitter fruit OF success. and has been
ordered out of the city by his doctor.
This lad, now about fourteen years old,
! Is q little marvel of acute editorial judy
nent. It seems to have been born in him.
Very early in his editorial career he would
be playing with his marbles or his pet cat
when he would say: II have an idea.
I will write to Prince so and 80 and
get an article for the Sunny Hour"
| His ideas always have worked. he has
published in his little monthly. articles
| from more kings and queens and princes
and war-worn generals than any three
magazines OF grown-up dimensions. Car
| men sylvia sent him two poems. Osman
| Pacha, the defender of Plevna, sent him an
| article for which magazine editor would
| have given front tooth. Prince Roland
Bonsparte has just sent him the manuscript
| of an unpublished book on science with
| full liberty to use extracts. The Princess
of Wales sent him q story. A man pub
Usher hearing of this concluded that he
| could do as much and sent blank check
for another. The check was of course
returned.
Social leaders in New York took the boy
up and made a pet of him. Their children
| wrote for him and he was in demand at re:
ceptions and fairs, where he was model
of boyish department. But all this was
hard on q growing boys vitality. Tello
will be kept at school this winter in the
country, out of reach OF city excItements.
Three days in each month he will have
leave of absence to come down and get bis
paper ready for the press. Next year he

Paris. Spain. Greece. Turkey, Africa, South
America or China. he will be able to hob:

the most imposing and dignified character.
The sanctum of this young editor Is

curiosities, and rows upon rows OF photo
graphs. Most of the distinguished con-
tributors, and some, like Queen Victoria.

last page. which is its first as we would
reckon. while the ttle-page Is on the BACK

LITTLE RuoDY's NEIGHBoR.
"You see, the Massachusetts, people call
Ms heretics and Anabaptists. They've
never forgiven us since they drove US out
of their State In their eyes we are oil a
lot of free-thinkers."
1t was a Rhode Island man who said this,

prepared to hear him next declare himself

cured to me that knew very little about
the Rhode Island of the present except
Newport divorces and yacht races. and tho
fact that it is small State. SO opened
my question-bOx then and there.
| Yes. my informant admitted, it was Gu
rious survival of old preJudices. The old
feeling still exists that BOstonians are

along very we'll with their neighbors.
The Pilgrims never prosecuted or drove
us out; it was the Puritans." said he, drop
ping again into his curious air of familiar
experience of past hardshlps. We pride
ourselves on our liberal views. We live TO
enjoy life and to let others do the same.
II people start a Congregational church
down here they call it the Free CongIega-
tional, TO avoid all suspicion of straight
laced ways. Don't you think we are
liberal?"
did think so. II was Providence and
Sunday. liz was almost continental Sun
day. All of the street-cars we're full. The
bay was full Of excursions. tho river OF
pleasure-boats. Tho nabobs were off at
their country seats taking things easy. 1t
WAS a day of rest. Then | remembered how

of a Boston Sunday, and began rejecting

MAGNETIC IRON RING.
| have discovered absolutely the fattest
business now transacted in the United
States. IL is the manufacture of mag
netic iron ring" which when worn on the
finger cures or wards of rheumatism. OF
course tho manufacturer is Boston man,
but it is rather curious that Bostonians
are buying the rings in some numbers at
81 each, Welding o profit OF 66 per cent.
/ saw one of these rings on the finger of a
man who had incautiousiy visited New
York, and he told moving tale OF beng
| compelled TO wear IL by maiden aunt
who had him in her will" 1t was the
first had seen in New York, but they are
common enough in Boston.
| But can an iron ring cure rheumatism?

Queer things are done in the healing art
sometimes. l have friend, q druggist,
who was asked to prescribe for loss of
memory. He tried to induce the man to
go to a doctor, but he wouldn't have it.
"All right, I'll fix you strong Dose"
said the druggist, and he made up harm
less mixture OF water aqua purd. he called
| it-with little coloring matter. Now
you must take twelve drops of this four
times q day." he went on, before each
meal and before going to bed. BE sure and
always take twelve drops and don't on any
account miss single dose or you will lose
the entire effect. It's slow cure, but
sure one"
The druggist shrewdly reasoned that the
endeavor to remember taking the doses at
the right time would IN itself improve the
mans memory and it did. A few weeks
after the patient came in to say that he was
greatly improved. He had simply got into
the habit Of remembering, which was all
that was wanted.
