Pencil Boxes.

. The pencil boxes now so commonly
carried by school children are made
In about 125 different styles. They
retail st from five to twenty five cents
each. Formerly all the pencil boxes
sold in this couryy were imported
from Germany, but for the last few
years we hayeF been making pencil
boxes in America. About one-third
of the boxes sold here are of home
manufacture and of superior quality.
The production is steadily increasing.
ALI the locks used are imported from
Germany. There is o box made here
with catch instead of lock, an
American idea, which is made here
entire. The cheaper German boxes
are made by hand at the homes OF the
makers; the better ones are made in
factories by machinery. All the
American boxes are made by ma
chinery. in factories located in lum-
ber- growing regions, in proximity to
the ;wosd supplied. ......

Long DAYS on the Ranch.

Sim Whackulip and Ru Hacketon
we're two cowpunchers employed by
old man Glibey, and clause in their
contract specified the hours of labor
to be from sunup to. sundown. Way
up in lofty mountain park ranged
the beef steers of old man GlibeY,
culling the rank grasses and piling on
pounds of fat. Sim and Ru were close
herding the steers, and sat in the sad
die from dawn till dusk, masticating
plug tobacco and bewailing their lot
in life.
''I'm no calamity howler, !" said Sim,
''but it does seems to me that the days
up here are uncommon long. They
pear heap longer than down in
Texas, and pecooliar, too, the nights
are heap shorter. What's the mat

ed in his partners opinion that the
days were lengthy and suggested that
perhaps the agreement calling for
work from sun to sun had affected
their imaginations.
"'Tain't so," said Sim. "Old Gill
hey knew what he was adding when he
drawed that fool contract. If I hadn't
been on the hog I wouldn't a-gone to
work. Let's climb that old mountain
and see how the sun works up here in
Colorado"
So the sinking sun that night found
our two punchers on the loftiest peak,
prepared to make observations. Sim
got on the western slope and was to
report the setting to Ru, who occu-
pied the opposite side of the summit.
Just as the upper edge of the fiery orb

obedience to last years rules. If the

below the round of the shoulder suits
your figure, you may have them that

But most new dreases are being made

A MUurniul Whistle.

sDid you notice that peculiar whis-
tie? asked the section foreman who
was returning to his home in Whining
ton.
There did not appear to be anything
unusual about it to the ear of the Star
man, and he asked in what way it diff
fered from other signals.
"Weli, it was made in an open part
of the road, not near town or cross
ing, and was sort of mournful. There
is story that goes with that whistle.
Jim Watson, the engineer of this,
train, ever since the night his engine
crushed out life at that spot has
made that signal when he goes by
there. It was on a foggy night, as l
have heard Jim say, and the headlight
only showed a big white bank OF mist
which he couldn't see through. W.
"He had an uneasy feeling like men
have sometimes when something disas-
trous is going to happen, and that
made him unusually alert. 1t was on
q part of the road where the trains are
scheduled up to high rate OF speed,
and Jim had her going at 9 lively.
pace. The feeling that there was
something wrong could not be shaken
off, and he cursed the fog that shut
out the track ahead. - e
''Suddenly figure shot into the
light. Jim saw for an instant her
ewes full of terror and then the train
swept on with horrible persistence.
"Jim slowed up and went back. He
and the fireman threw what was left of
the COW off the track. The owner of
the animal afteward sued the company
for damages and Jim had to pay $2S

his money and the incident made such
an impression on him that every time
he passes the spot where the death oc-

EpilepticS Improved.

It is stated in an annual report of
the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics that
the daily average number of patients
was 462. Not one Of these has been
cured, but the treatment of the physi-
CLANS in charge has been such as to i'm
prove nearly all cases. One of the
most marked results of treatment has
been the reduction in the number of
times the patients have been seized
with the attacks which SO enfeeble
them, both physically and mentally.

tain so many bows and feathers, fow-
ers and aigrettes. In Paris the latest
feminine grievance is that, since hats
have grown SO large. it is not alone
inconyenient but impracticable to
walk about at ease and be at the same
time fashionably broad-brimmed. The
practical side of the question IS seen
in the increased number of carriages
necessary. Even a modern brougham
has it's limits, and two modish hats
quite block the way. On, how un-
consciously funny we women often
are! .,

On the Other Side.

A Topeka reporter was nosing
around o secondhand store, the other
day, when he came across tombstone
which had in some manner drifted into
the dealers hands, and which was for
sale at less than half cost. Upon it
was engraved the following touching
inscription: Jimmy, thou art gone;
but tits sweet to know that thou wilt
meet us on Jordan's banks with thy
sweet hello" Jimmy had evidently
at some time been used as telephone
exchange.

small pink pills which. in a short time, ,re-
