ing as to this curious freak of the arch
itects. Certainly their purpose could
not have been artistic, she reasoned. A
close observer could not help remarking
that they were not quite in harmony
with the general design Of the mantel.
Suddenly she sprang out of bed and
touched one Of the knobs. 1t yielded.
She pressed little harder, and that
was all she knew until she came to her.

To make long story short, went to
the mysterious room accompanied by
the janitor and found the knobs as she
had described them. 1t was the third

that when the first and second were

had made mistake in trying to open
the cabinet and had fallen victim to
his own ingenuity in devising useless
protection for his valuables.
carried the news quickly to Nellie,
and she sent me post haste to the news
papers with the story, for she wanted
every one to know that Jack was not
guilty. Her Judgment was right, for
the newspapers told of the discovery
with abundant praise for the young girl.
Jack was declared innocent and much
abused young man and was urged to
return, marry the graceful, beautiful
and rising operatic star and inherit his
uncle's wealth, but the hope was ex-
pressed that he would not feel obliged
to deprive the stage OF lady who prom
ised to be one of its greatest ornaments.
Two weeks later, or mere than six
weeks after old John Hartlepool had
met his fate, cablegram came to his
late address, also one to Miss Nellie.
The cablegrams were dated at Liverpool
and the contents were identical, being
as follows:

sailing vessel. JACK.
1t turned out that Jack had been mis-
taken for an important witness in big
lawsuit and had been decoyed on board
schooner lying at a Brooklyn dock
and taken forcibly to sea.
Jack returned in few days, and of
course was present at the wedding

Queen n1argherita as a Taller.

Queen Margherita is described as
great talker, and one who sometimes
talks nonsense, to which her royal hus-
band merely replies by giving the table
a good hard slap with his fist. The
queen, on the contrary, If he says any
thing to annoy her, tells Humbert plain
ly what she thinks. The king has a
great control over himself, and the only
sign of anger he shows is to redden up
to the roots Of s,asiness asii papers OF urgency lc
are brought for the king to read,
during which time the courses cannot
60 around. The queen gets tired of
waiting sometimes and calls out impa-
tiently, "Umberto, we are waiting"
when the king satisfies her by immedi-
ately going on with his dinner.
Humbert is, like his father, Victor
Emmanuel, small eater, and does not
appear to care at all what he eats. 1t
sometimes happens that when the queen
finds dish not at all to her taste the
king declares it to be delicious; his wife
repays him for this by saying laughing
ly, "Of course l know you have no
taste" At this his majesty reddens
little, but his good nature prevails,
and he joins in the general laugh against
himself. New York Advertiser.

Tal..:.laLs N llle = Ilheater.

Said a bright young lady who attenda
frequently strictly first class theaters;
II always remove my hat or bonnet in
the theater if it is of proportions to in
terfere at all with the view of those sit
ting behind me. certainly think there
is great need of reform in this matter of
headgear at the playhouses. The mana
gers should formulate another rule and
strictly enforce it-that big bonnets and
hats be left at home or removed at the
amusement houses. Other rules arc
rigidly carried into effect at the theaters.
and there is no reason why another and
one of the most important of all should
not find place among them and be as
carefully observed.
''The other evening / leaned forward
and asked lady sitting in front of me
If she would not remove her headgear,
as it interfered seriously with my view
Of the stage. She gave me look that
was principally one Of amazement.
When she had partially recovered from
her astonishment, she said that her hair
was not arranged in a way permitting
the removal of the article. OF course
that is something to be borne in mind by
ladies who are inclined to favor this new

A slick looking, nice spoken man who
has been about Lewiston for several

4 DaEssmAksR,s plLEMMA-A FACT.

I'm but simple dressmaker in quite humble
way,
Who tries to do her duty and would never dis
obey
A plain commandment given in tho Scriptures
For read my Bible every night from half past
nine to ten.
sNow, Uncle Jim, who breaches in the chapel
over there
And knows his Bible backwards Though I've
Z, also heard him swear).
Came In to me the other night and solemnly
sat down
And said, Mario, let me see your last unfin-
ished gown"
! knew he hated fashions, but 1 humbly
- brought the dress.
He took the sleeves, examined them, and cried
In triumph: Yes,
1feared as much. Your style in gowns has gone
from bad to worse,
Until at last you've brought yourself beneath
the prophets cursel"
looked in blank amazement at my uncle.
Was he mad?
What could he find so awful In simple shoul-
B. der pad?
This year, since fashion willcd that ladies'
shoulders should be high,
We had To pad the dresses-Paris to blame
not /.
He took my Bible from the shelf before my
b. wondering eyes
And found the thirteenth chapter Of Ezekiel's
prophecies,
And Read" said he, 'sthe eighteenth verse
Thus saith tho Lord God, Woe
To tn women that sow pillowe to all arm
holesl' Is 1t SOP"
The words were there as clear as day. "And
now" said Uncle Jim,
"Just choose between the prophets curse and
fashions latest whim.
Wis you Ezekiel had in mind, to you the Lord
saith 'Woev
II in your dresses from this time another pad
you sew."
Thus saying he departed, and I turned the
matter DER,
And after half an hour felt no wiser than be-
fore.
AT last thought I'd venture forth to ease my
troubled mind
And ask our learned rector, who is always
very kind.
' found him in his study, and In listening to
my case
thought he laughed a little, though l could
; not see his face.
And then he opened certain books and certain
foot notes read
"The authorized translation is not quito cor
rect" he said.
