Let's do something to please him and
to fatter his bride. What do you say
to raising a fund to buy them presen,
in the name of the Staff"
'sI'm in for it," said the editorial
writer, producing half-dollar
They canvassed the Office and found
every body willing to contribute. The
managing editor and the assistant edit
or-in-chief had gone home, but as they
had shown kindness to Whiskers and
were, in fact, the only two men on the
staff who knew anything about his
private affairs, the exchange editor
took his chances and put in dollar for
each of them.
"And now what shall we get-and,
by the way, where shall we send it?''
asked the exchange editor.
"Net to his lodging house, certainly.
He'll probably be married at the resi-
dence of the brides parents as the
notices say. We'd better get it quick
and rush it up there, wherever that is
somewhere uptown"
But say" interposed the city editor,
who was present at this consultation,
''maybe the ceremony has already
come off. saw the old man giving in
a notice for advertisement across the
counter at the business Office, an hour
ago"
We'll, we may be able to learn from
that where the bride lives, anyhow,
and some one can 60 there and find out
something definite about the happy
pairs present and future where
abouts," suggested the editorial writer.
That's So" said the city editor
1.-The notice is in the composing-room
by this time. I'll run up and find IT.
The city editor left the editorial
writer and the exchange editor alone
together in their room. each sitting at
his own desk.
''What shall we get with this
money!" queried the former, touching
the bills and silver dumped upon his
desk.
Something to please the woman.
Thatll give Whiskers himself the most
pleasure. He evidently loves her deep
ly. Those constant visits and gifts
speak the greatest devotion"
''Of course, but what shall it be?"
The two were battling with this
question when the city editor returned.
He came in and said quietly:
II found the notice. At least I sup
pose this is it What is the old mans
full name?"
Horace W. Croydon"
This is it, them said the city ed
itor, standing with his back to the
door. ''The notice reads: On March
3, at the Arlington hospital for incur
ables, Rachel, widow of the late Hor-
ace w. Croydo on, ST., in her fifty-ninth
year. Funeral services at the resi-
,dence of Charles >"
Why" interrupted the editorial
writer, in hushed voice, ''that is a
death notice"
His mother" said the exchange ed
itor. THE hospital for incurables!-
that is where the flowers went"
The editorial writer's glance dropped
to the desk, where lay the money for
the intended gift. The exchange editor
sat perfectly still, gazing straight in
front of him. The city editor w alked
softly to the window and looked out

Through sunrise and sunset returning,

Like leaves Of the autumn-time blowing
Away and away;
Floating of from my shadow love-tended.
Returning, the weary day ended,
On glsdness to stay.

Where the lad on the hill turns to linger
To bid me good-by;
And when the red sunset is burning,

And beckon him nigh

TIL her feet wear path in the clover,
Tiptoeing to peer;
And laugh as she weeps, lonely turning. =
Whilst /, higher up, am discerning
Her lover 80 dear.
I see the brides bravery glimner
TIL the valley mist darkens its simmer,
Fair, vanishing rose;
And then-but little tomorrow,
And. clad in the garments Of sorrow,
She brings me her woes.

Above all the singing and signing

AS they come, one by one, to the valley,
The spade and the mattock keep tally

let them sweat awhile, and to help
dry them out, put two Lighted lamps
(bracket lamps, such as they use in
stores, for coal DILL These put under
the bin and let them stay eight or
ten days, shifting their position every
day; then ! take them from under the
bin and put them in the corner of the
two-foot space, one in each opposite
corner, SO as to equalize the heat
through the room, changing the lamps
to the other corners every day. When
the potatoes are done sweating, l cover
them over with mosquito netting;
upon this put three inches OF sawdust
or cut straw. This is left on until the
potatoes are taken out in the spring.
l hang thermometer inside, on a
level with the top of the bin, changing
its position TO watch the temperature
and keep it even. The temperature
must be kept at 40 degrees Is near as
possible; it must not range below 40
degrees nor above 80 degrees. If the
room gets too warm, put out a lamp;
if too cold, add another lamp. 1t is
very easy TO regulate the temperature

1t was the custom of the higher
orders Of Teutones, an ancient people
who inhabited the northern parts Of
Germany, to drink mead, or metheglin,
a beverage made with honey, for thirty
days after every wedding. From this
custom comes the expression, ''to spend
the honeymoon. Attila, king of Hun.
gary, drank so freely of this liquor on
his wedding day that he was found SUI

body who saw him go into the man
Rglng editors room to ask for a
position on the staff of the paper, that
II he should obtain place and become
a fixture in the Office, he would be gen.
orally known as "Whiskers" within
twenty -four hours after his installment.
What tale he told the managing ed
stor no one knew, but everyone in the
editorial rooms deduced later that it
must have been something a trihe out
of the common, for the managing edi-
tor, who had gone through the form of
taking the names of three previous ap-
plicants that afternoon and telling
them that he would let them know
when a vacancy should occur on the
staff, told the man whom we eventually
rhristeued ''Whiskers" that he might
come around the next day and write
whatever he might choose to, in the
way of Sunday specials" comic verses
or editorial paragraphs, on the chance
of their being accepted.
The next day the hairy-faced man
took possession of desk in the room
occupied by the exchange editor and
one of the editorial writer's, and began
so grind out copy"
His was a slim figure, with what is
commonly denominated slight
stoop." His trousers were none too
long for his thin legs, his tightly fitting
frock coat, threadbare, shiny and I'M
duly creased, was hardly of fit length
for his slender body and his long arms.
it was his face, however, that most in
dividualized his appearance.
The face was pale, the outlines sym
metrical but rather feeble, and the
eountenance would have seemed quite
1amblike but for the fact that it was
framed by thick, long hair and lux
Hriant beard which caressed his waist
coat
These made him impressive at first
sight
On the first day of his presence he said
little to the men with whom he shared
his room in the Office. On the second
day he grew communicative and talked
rather pompously to the exchange
editor. He prated of his past achieve
ments as a newspaper man in other
cities. He had cheerful way of talk.
