Bobbie's Half Crown.

''Bobbie," said grandmamma one
day, "you have been a very good little
boy while you have staid with me, and
I am going to give you a present"
'Thank you, grandmamma," said
Bobbie very politely.
'Here it is--a new half CROWN" said
the old lady, giving the little boy a
piece of bright silver money; ''but "
added she, mind, Bobbie, you don't
spend it."
The little boys face from smiling
grew very grave. He thought min
ute, then handed back the money.
'Thank you, grandmamma, but ]
don't want it.
Don't want it'll Why, Bobbie, what
do you meana" q
"Well, grandmamma, if may not
spend the money, what can do with
it"
''Well, Bobbie, I suppose you are
too young to understand the value OF
money yet, so Think, after all, I must
let you spend it, but you must first
learn a proverb Say after me, 'Take
care of the pence and the pounds will
take care of themselves" &

derstand the proverb, but he was not
at all too young to go to toyshop and
spend his half crown, which he did as
soon as ever he could.

gave an account of the life of old
Gabriel. who was reputed to be Isl
years old when he died on the 10th of
March, 1890. "Old Gabriel's son
Zachariah, by his third wife, lived la
years. Then there was Casiano, who
died q few years ago, aged 1876. An
other Indian named Lauriana died at
the county hospital some four years
ago at the age of 10. These are all
well-authenticated cases. Now comes
an old native, known as Mrs. Olaria,
who claims that she was IL years of
age at the time of the building of the
Carmel Mission in 1872, which would
make her 100 years old at the present
time"

The Statue Frowns.

The recent unwilling of the bronze
statue of General Lafayette at Mar

similar ceremony connected with the
equestrian statue of the same great
Frenchman at Washingtcn-the superb
work that fronts the east entrance TO the
grounds of the Agricultural Department
The statue was finished by its design.
or, a gifted young Italian sculptor, but q
penniless one, in 1913. On one excuse or
another payment was put off until it was
placed on its pedestal ready for dedica-
tion nearly three years after in 81. BY
this tine the artist had become woa:y of
haunting the Congressional Committees
with his opportunities for relief, and had
sunk into absolute, pitiablc poverty
indeed had become quite forgotten.
The unyeiling of his work took place
at last amid pompous ceremonies and the
booming of cannon; the exercises"
costing more than the sum the needy
genius begged to be given for services.
AS the canvas draperies were drawn aside
amid the huzZas of the multitude, n tat
tered, miserable object was discovered
seated astride the bronze steed in front
of the figure of the great French partisan,
and apparently sleeping peacefully pro-
tected by its massive arms. The Com
mttec of Ceremonies approached and
angrily orlered the presumptuous tramp
TO withdraw. But the sleeper did not
stir, and when at last ladder was raised
to expel the Intruder they found the
gaunt form of the young sculptor, dead,
his famine pinched cheek resting against
the breast of his own creation.

Mexican Funeral Customs.

According to the Washington Post,
Nine. Romero, wife of the Mexican Min
lister to the United States. in speaking of
recent funeral, said, alt oppressed me
to think of that family returning to their
home, 10 be left all alone in that dark
ened house where memories stand in
every corner and look at one from every
picture. Now, in Mexico, We manage
that better. We have what think is a
very comforting custom. In few hours
after the return of the family from the
cemetery all the friends begin to arrive
at the house, and for nine days they visit
with them, endeavoring by cheerful
conversation to draw their minds from
the great loss sus. aimed. There is no
hilar;ty. only the truest and deepest
sympathy All the callers wear mourn
ing costume, and failure to visit the
family during the allotted time is con-
sidered serious breach of etiquette.
Frequent illusions are made to the good
qualities of the dead, but there is no
time for brooding to intensity the grief,
and, at the end of the nine days, the
keenncss of the sense of desolation is
worn off and the mourners are ready to
take up life again. Isn't that an i'm
provcment over the American wayl"

Hoards of the Vikings.

Further news of the finding of hoard
of oriental treasure in cave in the Island
of Skye, near the northwestern coast of
Scotland, has just been received. Among
the treasures are seventeen oriental silver
coins of the class known as Cutie, about
the size of form, and minted at the
time when the seat of the Mohammedan
caliphate was at Cufa or Bagdad
The psychologists are trying to account
for the curious fact of the existence of
these oriental treasures in a cave of one
of the isles of northern Scotland. The
time Of their concealment, 1000 years
ago, was that in which the Vikings and
sea rovers were in the height OF their
glory. At this period there was much
commercial intercourse between the
Asiatic countries lying to the east Of the
Caspian sea and the countries bordering
on the Baltic, the route being by the
Volga to the north OF Russia. The yik-
ings were traders as we'll as plundcrers,
and when they could not plumber they
traded, always striving to convert all
booty into silver, which was then the
universal medium of exchange.
1t was in the way thus indicated that
the Baltic Vikings got hold of the silver
coins and jewelry from far Asiatic coun
tries. The long ships of these rovers
were then sweeping the North sea. turn
ing into the Atlantic, and operating on
the west coast of England and Scotland,
as well as on the Irish coast. They were
especially active at times in the region
of the Hebrides, and it was doubtless
some of them who buried in cave in
the Island OF Skye the treasures that
have been found after thousand years
of concealment. Il Washington Star.

A FEW years ago, says the Station
airy Engineer, no one dreamed that in
so short a time the electric light would
become a regular part of the equipS ent
of mills aud factories. 1t was only
when the dynamo found its place in
the engine room and the incandescent
light sparkled in the shops and work
rooms that the engineer found anything
of special interest to him in the study
of electricity. Now he must study it
whether he will or no, and though the
knowledge he most requires must be of
practical nature, he must have a
goodly amount of theoretical or "book"
information in order to understand
what he is doing.

A LITTLE fox terrier belonging to
Mrs. Catherine Dearborn, of st. Pat
rick street, Quebec, stole a lady's
sachel containing several checks for
large amounts and S12 in cash. The
lady in question had the misfor-
tune to fall on the sidewalk on Grand
alley, and in doing so dropped Der
hand sachel on the ground. Before
she had time to pick it up again the
thieving canine had got possession of
it, and in quicker time than it takes to
tell it had disappeared around cor
ner. A pursuit was attempted, but to
no avail; the small animal and his
booty had gone out of sight. Nothing
more was heard of the stolen article
until Sergeant Kell was called into
Mrs. Dearborn's residence and handed
the sachel by that lady, who said her
little dog had brought it to her. 1t
was restored to the rightful owner,
who gave reward for its recovery to

A DARING FEAT.
Capture of a French General by
Young English Officer.

An English exchange has at this late
day discovered authority for an incident
of the Battle OF Waterloo that has prob
ably never been in print. 1t says:
The only prisoner made by the English
reserve TT Waterloo was French Gen
eral, whose capture was due to the cool
head and stout heart of young brigade
Major, anxious for an adventure.
During the battle several regiments of
cavalry and infantry were kept in reserve,
under heavy fire from the French
guns. Great was the havoc and neither
men nor horses relished the passive atti.
tude to which they were condemned.
While group of young officers, in
front OF the left wing of the reserve,
were discussing the situation, their at
tention was attracted to French gen
eral and his staff, all on horseback, who
were looking through their glasses at
the Epglishmen. One of the group was
Captain Helkett, young brigade major,
mounted on thoroughbred. Suddenly
he exclaimed :-'T'll lay any one Go that
will bring that French general over
here. dead or alive. Who'll take my
bet" Done, done, doncr" shouted
several officers.
The captain examined the saddle
girths and his pistols. Then, shouting
"Good-bym and putting spurs to his
horse, he dashed at furious pace across
the plain between the British and French
lines. His comrades followed him with
their glasses, not speaking a word. The
Frenchmen opposite seemed puzzled.
Believing that the Englishman's horse
had bolted and that the rider had lost
control of him, they opened their ranks
to let the runaway through. Halkett
steered his steed SO as to Craze the
mounted general on the right side At
that instant he put his arm around the
Frenchman's waist, lifted him bodily out
of the saddle, and throwing him over
his own horses neck, turned sharp and
made for the English lines. When the
generals staff realized the meaning of
the bold rider they dashed after him, but
he had good start and not u French
man dared to fire for fear of hitting the
general.
Half a squad of English dragons, see
ing Halkett chased by dozen French
officers, charged them. They opened
their ranks TO let Halkett through, closed
them up again the moment he was in the
rear, and then forced the Frenchmen to
turn swiftly and seek shelter under their
own guns. Amid the maddest cheering
Halkett stopped in front of the British
lines. with the general half dead, but Sc
curely clasped in his strong arms. He
jumped from his horse, apologized TO his
prisoner for the unccremoniOus way in
which he had been handled, and. in re-
ply to the congratulations of his COM
rades, said, simply, praise my horse,
not me-" The captured general was
treated with the utmost courtesy and
consideration.

Potter Palmer's Two Engineers.

know a good story about Potter
Palmer which has never yet been pub
lishc6. One day Mr.. Palmer went down
into the engine room of his hotel and in
some way got into dispute with the
engineer Mr.. Palmer ended the matter
by telling his employee to go to the
Office and get his salary and get out.
Now, this engineer had been in Mr..
Palmer's employ fifteen years, knew
every pipe, wire, and rope in the big hotel.
The manager OF the house, who, by the
way, is nowa st. Louis landlord, was
greatly put out when the faithful en-
ployee told him the 'old man" had
fired" him.
'Jim.' said the manager, ~ don't
want you 10 go. We would be IN trouble
for months il new man took your place.
I'll tell you what to do. Go and shave
off that mighty beard you wear, dress up
in your Sunday clothes. and go and striku
the old man for your old job"
An hour later Mr.. Palmer was ap-
preached by smooth-faccd, neatly
dressed man, who courteously inquired
if he needed the services of first-class
engineer.
"That's just what do, was Mr.. Palm
er's reply. 1.-THE man I've bed has been
discharged. He had beeE a long time
in the place, but hegSe sassy. As your
papers are all right you can try tho
place"
That happened years ago, but Jim still
holds the fort. Mr.. Palmer has never
regretted that he fired that sassy
Jim" and hired in his place the gentle
manly, smooth-faccd man who keeps
everything in such perfect running order.
