AT THE $500 JUNCTION.


The Pathetic Lament of n Father Whose
Son Ran Away From Home
The time was cold October after
noon.
The place was lonely junction wait
ing room in northern Michigan.
The people of the drama were an old
lumberman in store clothes" and a
young man whose apparel proclaimed
the city.
And then there was n rough pine box,
about six feet long, on a truck outside.
Perhaps that might have been called
the properties"
There is no more desolate place than
the Sault Ste. Marie junction, and it
was raining that afternoon. There is
dirty little station and the train dis
patcher's house ON one side of the main
track. Opposite is deserted log cabin.
There is nothing else to be seen. In
summer the commonest flowers shun the
spot. The old man with the Grape on
his hat sat looking out at the box on the
truck. The Young commercial traveller
or advance agent, or whoever he was,
stared vacantly at his companion. The
time passed slowly and drearily. Once

man got all the enjoyment he could out

At length. as if compelled to speak,

A Polite Count

Count d'Orsay on his first visit to Eng
land CHANGED to be seated at dinner next
to Lady Holland. That remarkable and
many sided woman was in one Of her i'm
perious humors- She dropped her nap
kin. and the count picked it up calamity;
then her fan, then her fork, then her
glass, and as often her neighbor stopped
and restored the lost article. At last.
however, the patience of the youth gave
way, and on her dropping her napkin
again he turned and called one of the
fOotmen behind him. Put my plate on
the floor" said he. Il will finish my din
ner there. 1t will be 50 much more con-
venient to Lady Holland. "-Argnnaut

THERE is much less kicking" among
democrats than the members of the COM
mittee expected and Very much less than
existed among republicans after the publi-
cation of the Mckinley bill. The fact is
generally recognized by democrats that
the Wilson bill is one that will in the end
be generally beneficial to the entire coun-
try although like most reforms it will nee
essarily carry temporary hardship to some
individuals, and that is really where the
great strength of the bill lies; it is tariff
bill for the many not for the few. The
democrats who framed it are true believers
in the doctrine of the greatest good to the
greatest number. The republicans who, in
disparagement of the bill. said it WAS built
upon the lines of the Walker tariff of 1916,
| could hardly have given the bill greater
praise. as the Walker tariff WAS one of the
best the country ever had. and the people
of all classes were never more prosperous
than while it was in existence.

A woman with nimble fingers can
make one of these penwipers in n half
hcuI. Some of the women who have
followed my friends example and in
cluded them among this years Christ
mas work have made q dozen in a day
and attended to whatever social or other
duties came up. AT the fair where they
were offered at IS cents apiece they
went off like hot cakes" and there was
lively demand for more.
A great variety of things can be made,
as many of my readers doubtless know,
from crochet rings" The accompany
ing cut will show to such as have not
already mastered the mystery Of their
making just how they are gotten up
without verbal explanation. The rings
range in price from 6 cents to Is cents
q gross, or from cent to II cents a
dozen.
The cost of the thread with which they
are covered varies of course with its
quality, but it would DO hard to make a
dozen finished rings cost more than
cents, and it ought not to take more
than half or three-quarters of an hour to
cover them. Some very pretty baskets
have been made of these rings by some
Of my friends this year to be used for
buttons, bonbons, hairpins, matches or
any sort of small articles. l give no
cuts to illustrate this use of crochet
rings, but any ingenious woman can
adapt the design of any sort of box or
basket, and by the exercise of taste in
| contrasting or blending shades and col
ors produce really artistic effects. Quite

The democrats of the committee on ways
and means are now at work upon the in
ternal revenue bill which is to furnish the
revenue that will be lost by reforming the
tariff 1t is estimated that this loss will
be somewhere between $50 900, 900 and
SO. ooo, 900 year. The democrats of the
committee have but one thought in pre-
pairing this bill, and that is, to impose the
taxes in such a manner that they will bear
the lightest upon those who have to work
fol their living, and as they are all men of
wide experience and great ability they will
doubtless report a satisfactory bill.

DOLLS HEAD PENwIPER.

in November by a woman who was at
her wits end to know what to do" for
an impending church fair and for Christ
mas.
The price marked upon the trifie was
9S cents, and she bought it. took it
home and dissected it forthwith. Here
is list Of its component parts: One
bisque head, one piece of black cloth ell
liptic in form, 10 inches long and inches
wide; two leaves Of channels skin, also
elliptic in form, slightly smaller than
the black cloth base; four pieces of yell
low felt for hood and cape, II little brass
bells, 2f dozen spangles, one-half yard
of narrow black ribbon.
1t was not easy to find the bisque
head, but diligent search among the
wholesale stores discovered them at last,
and by the dozen they sold for rs cents,
or Ct cents apiece. The bells were found
at cents a dozen, the spangles at
cents package containing $50. Exam
nation of her scrapbag by the woman
in question showed that all the other
materials needed in making up half
dozen peuwipers were to be found among
its resources, but some of her friends
who decided to make penwipers also had
to buy everything. The total cost of
material for each penwiper when pur-
