BROKE UP THE MEETING.
The Reckless Cry of Danger Dis
PEELED the Charm.


Girls" said the hostess of the oc-
casion, Il was down in the country
the other day and had basket of
lovely apples given to me. | thought
we might have some fun eating them.
and I've ordered them sent in"
Order my tombstone" said the Vas
sar girl, who was out on a vacation.
Green apples are my kismet."
Apples are pronounced very bene-
fetal to the complexion said the
Boston girl, adjusting her glasses.
We'll excuse me from anything
green" remarked the girl from the
West.
You are all geese, said the hostess,
with more truth than poetry. l used
the phrase eating them merely as
figure Of speech. Nobody eats apples
nowadays really, but there's lots OF
fun in counting the seeds and naming
them"
The apples were brought in and
passed around. Each of the girls took
one, but as there were no plates or
knives, they waited until the hostess
took the initial bite.
Here you are she chirped. Now
the girl who cannot break her apple
square in two parts with her own fin
gers will die an old maid"
"Oh-oh-oh!' choroused the girls.
1T looks as easy as rolling off a
log" said the Vassar girl, but she
changed her mind when she found her
apple broken into fragments.
No wedding ring for you, missy, "
laughed the hostess, as she held up
two halves of her own apple which
were separated as neatly as with a
knife.
My apple is completely disin-
tegrated," said the Boston girl, staring
wildly at the remains of her fruit.
Now, girls, count the seeds in your
apple core while l say the rhyme.
One | love
Twa | loNe.
rec l love, say,
our l love with all my heart;
Five / cast away;
Six ne loves,
Seven she loves,
Eight they both love,
Nine he comes,
Ten he tarries,
Eleven he courts,
Twelve he marries,
Thirteen wishes,
Fourteen kisses
Look at the mice" said the girl
from the West. She had made them
out of apple seeds while the hostess
was reading off her charm. Every
girl shrieked and jumped on a chair
and then the meeting adjourned sine

years, counting from 1898. All this
involves the enormous expenditure OF
$50, 900, 900 roubles. The railway, how
ever, intersects the whole OF Siberia
for distance of 7,112 versts. an area
that exceeds the whole extent OF Cen
trail Europe, Germany, Austro-Hun-
gary. Holland Belgium and Denmark.
The government gives land and loSns
of money to the settlers along the line
and certain important privileges. In
an official publication on the subject
issued by the Russian government II
is said: The political Importance OF
the Great Siberian railway Is dear
from the fact that wher the line is
completed Russia viii not only nomi-
nally but actually occupy that position
in the East of Asia which 1t holds
among its friends and enemies in Eu-
rope. AS the line shortens the dis
lance from European Russia to the
East of Asia in ike manner will the
power OF Russia increase in the east,
Finally the opening Of a railway line
to the p ocean will enable Russia
to carry on more direct intercourse
with the United States OF America,
which, in spite Of being the great COM
petitor of Russia in the grain trade OF
Europe, in consequence of the solidar-
ity of as political and other interests,
cherishes sincere sympthy for Russia

A MONKEY FOND OF BEER.
He Belonged to Chicago Barber and
Learned to Rush the Grower.

A large number of residents in the
been plunged into grief by the death
of one who had long contributed to
their fun and enjoyment. This mon
key called Jocko, who on reaching the
venerable age OF 10, had passed away
quietly and peacefully.
Jocko was South American mon
key of large breed. When very young
he was kidnapped by band of sailors,
brought to New Orleans and offered
for sale. Frank Bradfish, a German
barber, bought him at bargain and
christened him. A few months later
they travelled together to Chicago
Here Bradfish opened barber shop
at Forty-fifth street, near Wallace, and
kept Jocko in back room for the
amusement of his customers.
Across the street from the shop was
saloon kept by man named Lynch.
The thirst inherited from his German
ancestors caused Bradfish to MAKE
regular trips to the saloon, ana for
safetys sake he always took Jocko
along with him It did not take Iocko
long to learn the ropes. Soon he walk
ed proudly along by his masters side,
carrying the pail that held the foaming
liquid, and later he carried both pail
and money, and under Bradfish's guild
ance bought the beer himself.
One day when business was brisk
Bradfish handed the pail and money to
Jocko and conducted him to the door.
He paused there and Jocko seemed 10
grasp the situation, for he rushed
across the street into the saloon and
handed his pail and money to the bar
tender. The later filed the pail and
looked toward the door, expecting to
see Bradflsh follow Jocko. But no
Bradfish came and Jocko grabbed the
pail and rushed back 10 the barber
shop with 1t, to the huge amusement OF
all present.
This was the first Of many trips
Jocko soon had a steady job rushing
the can every evening for the crowd
that was sure to assemble. and never
wearied OF the fun. OF course Jocko
always got his share, and this was
probably the main reason for his
never-ceasing willingness 70 accommo-

SURPRISED THE QUEEN.
Three Little Girls Who Addressed Her
in Novel Fashion.

The queen is very fond of children.
One day she was ou5 driving in Scot
lana when she saw three little girls
who lived at the mansc thoroughly en-
ioying themselves at good game.
She sent messenger to make inquir-
les about them, and desired that they
might come and visit her at her castle.
1t so happened that their parents
were not at home at the time. and al
though they were liz high glee the
children did not quite know what 10 do.
One point which troubled them very
much was how they address the queen.
However, after a little talk, they de-
cided they could not do better than adj
dress her as the kings of old were adj
dressed in Bible history
Wien they were taken into her maj
esty's presence, to the queens great
amusement they Immediately fell
down before her and very solemnly ex-
claimed: 20, queen, live forever|
They spent delightful afternoon
and all TOO soon the time arrived for
them to go home.
Imagine the queens surprise and
amusement when, OH leaving, they
again fell down together, and said this
time:
20, queen, live forever! And please
may We come again another day ~"

si9, 523, 1872, of which S7,993,061 was for
inland mail and the remainder for the
foreign service. For inland mail the
cost is an increase of 81 $50, S29 for
the year. The annual travel in star
service alore was over 22,000,00
miles. The export says the expert

tried this winter will, 1t is hoped, prove
sue ssful and they are expected to be
mush less expensive than horse
wagons. Concerning pneumatic tube
service, only one tube, at Philadelphia,
now being in operation in the entire
postal service, the report says it ex-
dites the mail, makes closer connec-
tons both ways, in greatly reduced
lime for practically the same money
For establishing this service $4,000 is
asked for and three tubes, one each in
