At the end of the week he is looked after by the police, who put him into prison until Monday morning. His wages are taken from him and delivered up to his wife. On Monday morning he Is handed over to his employer. If he will not then work, he is thrown into jail again, where, says the Newcastle Chronicle, there is no doubt he will have to work great deal harder than he does when at his usual employment.

THE GIRL OF THIRTEEN.
Unless She Has Good Care She WIN Make
a Eorlorn Woman.

The girl of thirteen Is tho future
woman and n very important parcel OF
humanity, says the New York Sunday
Advertiser. She Is a child and just
growing into womanhood, and this
transition which, to grown-ups, means
only a sudden shooting up beyond all
bounds and tendency to stopped
shoulders, Is much more to the girl who
leaves childhood behind and Is not yet
o young lady, Fast growing Is very
great drain on any child's strength,
and as at thirteen she usually has con.
siderable work at school, both mind
and body are called upon to do double
work. That is why she needs care.
Good food, rest and congenial COM
pany are some of the things which are
necessary for the girl Of thirteen. She
should not have too much excitement,
or books to read which tax her
thoughts too much, as her mind de-
velops only too quickly at this age, and
everyday life and lessons are enough
to occupy her. She should go to bed
early and sleep ten hours. For break!
fast she should eat strengthening,
bone-making food, oatmeal, oranges,
brown bread, eggs and milk. For her
midday meal she should have some
thing moro sustaining than q bread
and butter lunch, if she is to grows up
into strong woman. Hot soup and a
chop and baked potato every day
for three months will make her stand
up straighter than braces will. =
She should have walk in the open
air every day; if she docs not get this
she will grow nervous and sleepless,
have fantastic notions about an early
grave and running away from home.
or, worse still, grow sentimental and
write morbid little verses and weep
over the poor These are all true
symptoms Of the girl of thirteen. She
begins to think she is very old us soon
as she gets into her teens, and the re-
sponsibilities affect her sensitive new
mind to an appalling dcgrec--if she IL
given the time to think of them.

~ know fairly good story about
him, II you care TO have it.
"lle was one of the younger class of
second licutenants that come into tho
northwest just before the Indian trou-
blcs which eliminated in the fight at
Wounded Knee. Preston had been as
signed to duty in the Ninth cavalry,
the black regiment, you know;rand
those negro soldiers had q pretty
strong doubt about his heroic quail
tics.
But he gathered his men, according
to orders, when the hostiles were
rounded up there at Standing Rock,
and held one side of the square which
inclosed the warlilke and dangerous
band of savages. The Indians had
come out of their tents with their
blankets around them and their lead
ers declared that they were unarmed,
and that they wanted to talk The
negro cavalrymen, dismounted and

and he hauled them back in line. They
looked at his jaunty uniform, and al
most wished they might see him in
real trouble, just for the pleasure Of
testing him.
well, the Indians got to the middle
of the horseshoe.like enclosure of
troops, and then at given signal by
their chiefs they threw off their
blankets, and each one was seen armed
with rifle, Ratchet aud scalping-
knife. They fred point blank at close
range and with deadly effect at the
soldiers. OF course You know the
story of the battle. That is tale

"Only Lieutenant Guy Preston, the
youthful West Pointer, looking around
at that savage band of murderers,
caught sight of the gold bars on his
shoulder-straps-the insignia of rank
in the army of the nation. And the
thought came to him: Il can't run
away, carrying that And he halted,
turned, called back his men, and
formed the first line which repulsed
the Indians and finally conquered

Recommended as an Excellent Addition
to tho Home Menu.
A recipe for a pea soup which has a
little different flavor from our every
day pea soup comes from India, where
it is customary to use sharp, piquant
flavorings. This soup may be recon-
mended as On excellent addition to our
home menu.
Put q pint of sound green peas to
soak in n quart of water over night. In
the morning drain them and add three
pints of cold water and bit of soda the
size of pea. Boil them very slowly
until they are soft enough to press
through q sieve. An ordinary flour
sieve will do. Cut small onion in
bits and add two cloves of garlic, or
use two onions If more convenient. Fry
these in two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Add six cloves and one bayleaf, and
finally add the whole to the peas that
have been strained through the sieve.
Put in tablespoonful of salt and q cup
of canned tomatoes, or fresh ones in
their season. Let the soup cook slowly
for half an hour, when, if it is too thick
for a soup, thin it with little boiling
water and let it cook ten minutes
longer. At this time add pinch ofred
pepper, tablespoonful of butter and a
cupful of squares Of bread which havc
been fried golden-brown in butter.
This soup has an additional advan-
tage of being comparatively inexpen-
