says a Chicago papers correspondent.
The lady's maid of Mrs. Benevolent was
stricken down with typhus fever, and
her removal to the hospital was urged
by the family.
But Mrs. Benevolent, having a great
liking for the maid, would not listen to
the plan, and declared she would nurse
the girl herself. This she did through a
long illness, and when the invalid be-
same convalescent Mrs. Benevolent, at
her own charge, sent the maid down to
Brighton, that she might benefit by n
cheerful stay by the sea.
After sufficient time had elapsed
for her complete restoration to health
the maid was asked by post if she did
not feel able to resume her duties. Her
answer was an expression of gratitude
for the kindness and care she had re-
ceived, concluding with the sorrowful
regret that I shall not be able to re-
turn to your service, as cannot en-
gage myself to one who is not lady,
and, of course, no lady would have
nursed and waited upon servant, as
you have done in my case"

LAPEL MATCH BOX.
1t Enables Smokers to Strike a Light in
the Open Air.

the Open Air.
p, A match box which fastens by but
ton to the lapel of the coat is the newest
New York idea. 1t is just the thing
for smokers who hate to open their
overcoats on cold days.
When you are walking downtown
with the thermometer at zero and you
feel you are just dying for smoke and
yet dread to let your overcoat fly open
while you go fishing through dozen
different pockets after that elusive
match box which can never be located
you would give large, new, shiny dol
lar for something that will save you all
this trouble.
This something has been invented by
New York jeweler. Instead of tear
ing open half dozen overcoat buttons
and diving through twice as many peck
cts, by the aid of this newest wrinkle
you have but to run your fingers under
meath the lapel of your coat, press the

WOMAN COWED A LION.
Panic Averted in Philadelphia
Place of Amusement.
Armed Only with q Tin Water Pan,
Nine. Pianka Faced an Infatuated
Leonine Monster and Forced
Him Into His Cage.

The alert courage of pretty wom-
an was all that ayerted a panic and per-
hapS fatal casualty the other day.
Mime. Gertrude Charlotte Pianka, the
heroine of the affair, represents the
total number of the wounded, her in
juries being decidedly painful, if not
serious. Nine. Pianka is professionally
known as the LADY of Lions" Her
savage pets were stored in the inner
lobby of the museum, at Philadelphia,
awaiting removal to the curio hall.
In one of the cages was Nero, a young
lion with a bad temper and a worse
record. Nero is the sole offspring of
the notorious old murderer, Nero, who
has killed every trainer-there were
four in all-that had ever attempted to
subjugate his ferocious spirit.
The six cages containing young Nero
and his fellow members of Nine.
Pianka's leonine family had been
visited by Charley Ward, one of Mime.
Pianka's attendants, young colored
man, who has grown up among the
wild animals, when Nero set up dole
full howl which his attendant recog-
nized as being intended to convey the
information that his honship's thirst
had not been appeased and that he de-
sired another pan of water. Charlie
hastily filed pan, and, lifting the
door, which slid up vertically, slipped
the vessel into the cage. He neglected,
however, to fasten the catch, an mad
vertence of which Nero did not fail to
take note.
A stream of people was passing from
the curio hall through the lobby into
the theater, while over in one corner
Nine. Pianka was chatting with Mana
ger Bradenburg, when an ominous roar
shook the walls. All eyes were turned
to the quarter from whence the warn
ing proceeded. By inserting paw be-
meath the door, Nero had lifted it up far
enough to push his head through, and
his yell was one of triumph, proceed
ing his dash into freedom and fright
ened humanity.
With q glance, Mime. Pianka took in
the situation. "Back, Nero, bacl<!" she
cried, sharply.
But Nero had tasted freedom and for
got the penalties which attended disc
bedience. With another roar he again

Reserve Buds of Trees.

Everyone has noticed how, when a
large branch of tree is cut off, small
branches will shoot out around the
stump. These branches are from the
reserve buds, of which all trees have
O great number at every portion of their
surface. Under ordinary circumstances,
these never come to maturity, but, when
the tree is wounded, or cut off, or loses
some of its branches, the reserve buds
at once come into play and renew the
foliage.

The Blue Lobster Is Rare.

One of the very rarest of all marine
creatures, the wandering fish" not ex-
