Paddy Got a Free Dinner.

AT many of the restaurants in Bos-

silver quarter, is given by the waiter
TO the customer as ticket for what he
has to pay. A supplemented Irish
man, who had just arrived in Boston
from Tipperary, going into we'll
known restaurant on Washington
street. called Tor dinner. When tho
waiter haG brought it he laid down the
metal counter.
Paddy, astoniShed. said to himself:
BE jabers. this is the land for me;
when Il man asks for some dinner they
give him bit of money besides"
When he had swallowed his meal the
delighted Paddy started to leave the
restaurant without settling with the
cashier. when he was stopped by tho
waiter, with: Halo! where's your
money; are you going without pay
ing?"
why would We be after giving me
the bit of money at all if We meant to
take it away again? Take yer dirty
money! Perhaps yell be after wishin'
me to return me dinner to We againP"
So saying, Paddy threw the meal

EARLY DEP RAL1T1
Experience With Youth and Crime in
Great Citses,

Great Citses.
A very large proportion of the crimlna
offanse brought to the notice of the courts
consists of those committed by boys, or
young men under the age Of twenty five
years. In manv cases the crimes are the
result of the influence of elder criminals
or are Committed without realiz ltion of
the great wrongtulness of the act. Some
times, however. the criminal instinct is
strong In even immature youths. A boy
of fifteen years of age, who was brought
before me few years ago, was convicted
of high degree of robbery, and it appear
ed that in other cases he had been guilty
of similar ffences, but On account of his
extreme youth bad escaped punishment.
He took part with older men in assault,
ing citizens on the street and taking pro-
perty from their persons. The managers
of the House of Refuge, to which institu-
ton | committed the boy, refused to re-
ceive him, because of his previous crimes
and the bad influence which he exerted up
on other inmates. | was unwilling to send
hiu either to the penitentiary CT the state
prison on account of his youth, and be-.
cause felt certain that association WITH
older criminals would only render him
more hardened in his vicious career. He
was detained in the city prison for many
months and finally discharged. Other in
stances Of the early detr witty of members
of the criminal class have come to my at
tention.
The fact that so many crimes are COM
mitted by persons of immature years, how
ever sad IL may be, proves that. to some
extent at least. the penalties of the crimi-
nal law are effective in preventing crime.
Young men who have had their frst'exreI-
rlence in reforming Or penal institution
either learn caution, and do not again ex-
pose themselves to conviction of serious
offenses, or become convinced that honest
employment at some laboriaus occupation
is, after all, more profitable than the GRIM
NAL career, with its liability of detection
and severe punishment. Some, of cours e.
of the young offenders continue their 1--we q
of crime and become professional crimi-
mails. The number of professional crimi
nails is, however. smaller than is ordlnari-

WILLIAM [, SCOTT,
His Sale of SEQ. 900, 600 Railroad Stock
for William III. Vanderbilt.

In business matters Mr.. Scott was
quick in his conclusions. sound in
judgment. and inexhaustible in re-
sources. says the Louisville Courier
Journal. The public remembers yet
the sale by William II. Vanderbilt of
500 600 600 worth of stock in the New
York Central at 120. That sale was
made by William L. Scott.
Vanderbilt harrassed and worried

tain about his health. expressed in the
presence of Scott wish to be rid of
the property.
You are not in earnest" said Scott.

life" was the reply.

vanian asked.
Sell it?" exclaimed Vanderbilt;

II can find such a purchaser" said
Scott, lat fair commission"
DO it," was the response, 'and I
will pay you $500 000."
In a few days Scott had organized
syndicate among the bankers of New
York to purchase the Vanderbilt stock
ut l20 and without any difficulty tho
transaction was concluded.
Then came Mr.. SCOTS demand for
his commission of $500, 900. Wander

of money for such work, Mr.. Scott in
sisted that 1t was bargain made open.

clusion. Still Vanderbilt objected
that it was too big commission.

Scott.

Very well, then. let me have the
5000, O0O" said the gentleman from
Pennsylvania. and the matter was
settled. Had Mr.. Scott insisted there
is little doubt the $500, 900 would have
been forthcoming. As it was, the COM
mission was as easily earned as any
money Mr.. Scott ever made.

point near Weekawhen they were
met by steamers from New York having
on board the city 6 committee. The lead
ing boat of the hotila way hailed
Where from and where bound?" The
acting admiral of the fotilla answered
From Lake Erie and bound for Sandy
Hook
Arriving at New York they were greet
ed with the ringing of bells, martial music.
and firing of cannons. All arrangements
being completed, the grand Aquatic pro-
cession left New York Friday morning at
9 o'clock. Nov. 4, and started down the
bay. The feet numbered thirty. seven
boats. Two barges were decorated and
festooned with evergreens and flowers,
and were exclusively appropriated to and
crowded with ladies elegantly attired
Mrs. De Witt Clinton was on one of the
barges.
At Sandy Hook Gov. De Witt Clinton
went through the ceremony of uniting the
waters by pouring that of Lake Erie into
the Atlantic. Two barrels of Lake Erie
water had been brought from Buffalo on
the canal boat Seneca Chief, and were
used for this occasion.
Fifty-one gold medals were struck off
and sent to the different crowned heads
of the world and eminent men; one was
sent to Lafayette. There were several
hundred silver medals struck off, and
large number composed of block tin and
white metal.
The boxes containing the silver medals
were made from logs of cedar brought
from an island on Lake Erie in the neigh
borhood of Buffalo.
The citizens of Buffalo were furnished
with keg of water taken from the ocean
for the purpose of minglIng it with the
waters of Lake Erie. The keg was hand
somely ornamented with the arms of the
city of New York, over which were the
words, IN letters Of gold: Neptune re-
turn to Pam" and under the same the
words, New York, 4th Nov, 1926"
Upon the other side of the keg were the
words: Water of the Atlantic
The Seneca Chief was fitted out in grand
Buffalo and sent with the boat to New
York. One was view of Buffalo harbor,
a section of Lake Erie, Buffalo creek and
its junction with the canal, the whole re-
presenting the scene at the moment the
boat started.
Two hours after the Seneca Chief left
Buffalo a novel craft followed and overlook
her at Lockport. The boat was called
Noah's Ark, and was stored with all sorts
of animals. She had or board bear, two
eagles, two fawns, together with birds
and fish of every description. There were
also two Indian boys in native costume,
all being products of the great west!
The celebration of tre completion of the
canal was closed in New York Monday
evening, Nov. s, with grand fete, which
was presided over by De Witt Clinton.
De Witt Clinton was remarkable for his
masculine beauty. He was upward of six
feet tall, straight, large, robust, and fine
ly proportioned, and said to be the finest
looking man in the country.
When De Witt Clinton and other COM
missioners explored the route for the
canal the country was a comparative will
derness, and there was not single house
where the city of Rochester now. stands.

Healthful Living on the Farm.

Much has been written with reference
to heaithful methods of living The farm
er has been warned against too free use
of the pork barrel over and over again,
and while it seems to be true that our
pork-eaters are as healthy and iong-Iived
as our beef-eaters are, it is nevertheless
true that steady pork diet is not the
best diet. II we were to be asked to lay
down general rules for healthful methods
of living on farm we should say: First,
a good comfortable house with large airy
rooms; strict regard for cleanliness
about the premises, that is, that all decay
ing matter should be scrupulously removed
from any location near the house; good
drainage; frequent bathing; as much
labor saving IN all departments in the
house and out Of it as possible; and a va
riety of foods. The chicken is frequently
drafted for the farm table, perhaps too
frequently, for fowl is hard to digest
Fresh beef in summer is not practicable
unless bought Of butcher. But-statipg
again what has been stated many times
the sheep furnishes an easy means by
which the farmer can supply himself with
fresh meat at any time of the year. With
a fl ok of sheep one can be slaughtered at
any time, and what is not needed of the
carcass for home consumption can be dis
posed of. This feature of the benefits of
sheep husbandry alone is enough to COM
mend sheep breeding TO the farmer.

Will sweet Cream I'm tier Rfpen?
Jersey Bulletin.

Something more than a year ago we
ventured TO suggest that as the process of
ripening In cream is the work of certain
bacteria that are in al ream and are not
destroyed by the churn, it is possible that
they may ripen sweet cream butter as they
do sweet cream. Since then we have
made few experiments and had an op-
portunity of studying some experiments
made by others. One conclusion is that
when the sweet cream butter is thoroughly
freed from butielmik it does tend to
ripen ard approach The flavor of ripened
cream butter. But if il has not been prop
erly made, or too much water is left In 1t,
Instead of riIening it sours, and goes to

WHAT A COLD WAVE is.
IT'S Not a Wave but an Avalanche of CO

IT'S Not n Wave but an Avalanche of Cold
Air
The term 'cold wave applied to sud-
den and great fall of temperature is fig
ure of speech. It is rather an avalanche
of cold air that comes down upon the coun-
try, explains Professor Russell in the En-
gineering Magazine. The essential idea
in wave is repetition. In the eastern
part of the country there is regular
change in the temperature Of the air of
about Is degrees from day to night. In
the high and dry regions beyond the Mis-.
sissippi river the daily range is As degrees
in some places. The great irregular
changes called cold waves have no definite
period.
The weather bureau definition of cold
wave is a fall in temperature of 20 degrees
or more in twenty. four hours, free of dur
nal range and extending over an area of
at least SO, 900 square miles of country, the
temperature somewhere in the area going
at least as low as Sc degrees. Marking on
a map where cold wave has occurred by
lines through the places of equal fall of
temperature the areas are seen to be in
closed and sometimes very great in extent.
Ia one of the greatest cold waves in recent
years, that of February II. 1888, the tenn
perature at z a. m was 20 degrees lower
than at the same hour OH the day preced-
ing throughout an area of ,O65,O0O square
niles, extending from Lake Superior and
Georgian Bay on the north to the Rio
Grande on the south, and from Kansas City
to Cincinnati. Inside of the area of 20
degree fall there was all area of 40 degree
fall Of 1877 600 square miles; inside the 40
degree fall there was $1,000 square miles
of 50-degree fall, and inside OF the 50-de-
gree fall fall of 60 degrees at Keokuk, Ia,
the center of the cold wave, the tempera-
ture, which was 60 degrees on the morn
ing of February Is, being at zero the next
