GONE, TWO, THREE

1t was an old, DID, old, old lady.
And a boy that was half-past three.
AND the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't 60 running and jumping
And the boy, no more could he;
For he was thin little fellow.
With thin little twisted. knee.
They sat in the yellow sunlight,
Out under the maple tree;
And the game that they played I'll tell YOU.
Just as 1t was told to me.
1t was hide-and- go-seek they were playing,
though you'd never have known 1t to be-
With an old, old, old, old lady
And boy with twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his one little sound right knee.
And he'd guess where she was hiding
In guesses One, Two, Three
"You ars in the china closet!,
Ho would cry anG laugh With g!ae-
1t wasn't the china closet
But he still had Two and Three
you are up in papa's big bedroom
In the closet with the queer old key"
ana sne said You are warmer and warmer
But you're not quite right said she.
1T can't be the little cupboard
Where mammals things used to be-
So It must be the Clothes press, Gran'ma,"
And he found her with his Three.
Then she covered her face with her fingers,
They were wrinkled and white and vice.
And she guessed where the boy was hiding.
With One and Two and Three.
And they never had stirred from their places
Right under the maple tree
This DID, old. old. old lady
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady
And the boy who was half-past three.

Strange Case of Mistaken Identity
In New York Hospital.

Stran&e case OF mistaken Identity
In a New York Hospital.
Buffalo Express
One of the most singular cases of
mixed-up identity on record at Gouver-
neur hospital, New York, has just
come to light. That the facts did be-
come known is no fault of the hospital
authorities, for they did their best to
keep the matter dark One day of last
week Charles Birdsall of Brooklyn, was
overcome by the heat in New York
crowd collected as usual, and the
ambulance was sent for. Birdsall was
taken to the hospital, already over
crowded with patients stricken by the
sun, and as soon as his turn came he
was put under treatment. The phvsi-
clans said that he would not live un-
til morning. Birdsall's employer heard
of what happened and sept messen-
ger to the hospital that same night
to find out how he was. The messen-
ger brought back word that Birdsa11
was dead. Mr.. Mcnamara, for whom
Birdsall worked, bore word Of the mel
ancholy event to the mans family.
The news was received with great Ia
mentation, and Birdsalrs sister, who
was particularly fond of him, was
Frustrated for a time. A Brooklyn un-
dertaker was engaged to take a coffin
to New York and bring the body
home. When the undertaken returned
the candles in the Birdsall home had
been lighted, according to the Catholic
custom, and a catafalque was ready
for the reception Of the coffin. The
sorrowing relatives then removed the
sheet covering the face Of the corpse
They were dumbfounded to find that
the body was that of an entire strang-
er. The undertaken was called and in
structed to take the body back to the
hospital.
While all this was going on Charles
Birdsall was lying in cot in the hospi-
tai, very weak, but still alive and by
the time his supposed corpse was on
its way to Brooklyn he had recovered
consciousness His sister started post
haste for the hospital as soon as the
blunder had been discovered, and was
soon by the side Of her brothers bed
When told that they had all thought
him dead Birdsall protested that he
was still better than a dozen defunct
men. The undertaken demands pay for
his services and Birdsall's sister is of
the opinion that the hospital should
pay the bill, inasmuch as the under
taker was engaged upon information di-
rectly furnished by the hospital physi-
clans. lawsuit is likely to follow.

domestic test is good one. Throw piece

And, 1t may be added the smaller the ar

fat. Supposing we could test the heat of fat
by thermometer, we should let, it attain
temperature of 1856 degrees for articles
that need to be fried through, and Of 400
degrees for such as can be cooked instantly.
We can rarely test. the heat thus. but the fact
shows that for some things the fat must be
hotter than for others

SINCE MOLLY WENT.

How bleak and bare the blue hills seem

They saw the roses stir,
And look and listen in the glen
For the dear steps of her.
1t seems that for the bird, the brook.
There's never any May;
And that when Molly went she took
The world and all awayl
l sit here when the days begun
And feel the lonely place,
The sunfowers following the sun
And dreaming Of her face.
And wonder why in shrub and tree
The sweetest birds are dumb;
While all the roses look at me
And whisper: will she come?''

especially near the magnetic pole, will
benefit the thousands of vessels which
largely depend for their safety on the
precision with which the compass can

the Arctic Is Of special Importance,
because 1t presents the extremes Of a

currents are similarly interdependent.
The aurora can best be studied where
