A Press Built by Franklin.

II once worked a printing press that
was built and operated for long while
By Ben Franklin, said Colonel Charles
Gonter. 1.-THE machine was quite a
primitive affair, but it answered the
purpose. Twas then boy in Lancaster,
Pa, and was learning the printers
traue in IT, office of the Lancaster
Union. john W. Forney, who made
such a success of the Philadelphia Press,
was a prentice with me, and we took
turns working the old Franklin press.
1t was made entirely of wood except for
a marble slab that answered the pur-
pose of a bed. On this slab the forms
of type were placed, and they would
have to be linked with long, clumsy
roller before each impression.
lone day ForDey would WELD the
roller, and the next day it fell my turn
to smear on the ink. We could print
abCat 20 or IS sheets an hour. The work
was i2boliOus, but we performed it
chce32rl-y because of the knowledge
that Ben Franklin had done the very
same work on the press many day be-
fore we were born. James Buchanan
used to come in occasionally and en-
courage Us at cur task and predict a
brilliant career for both OF Us if we
stuck to the trade we were then learn
ing.
This was way back in 1871, and
I'm a young man yet. Events that are
crowded into the years since then con-
tain the history Of the building of one
of the most powerful nations the world
has every known, and the professions Of
men that have passed in review since
then call for the pen of another Plutarch
to portray, and that cramped, rickety
little franklin press that John W. For
ney ard l used to work played a big
part in the making of the nation ano
the making of the professions Of men.

The Negative Reward OF Virtue In the
Windy City by the Lake.
IA queer thing happened to me, y
said Bailey, lighting fresh cigar. at
was only one of those incidents of street
travel that might happen to any one,
but annoying from the misconstruction
put upon it..
Let's hear it, said the other fell
lows, making themselves comfortable.
"Iwas riding On the electric" said
Bailey, "and in the seat opposite was q
pretty girl "
ooh, you consider yourself judge"
remarked one of the crowd.
~ certainly do, and 1 let her see
that / appreciated her good looks. But
my admiration made no impression.
The young woman busted herself in get
ting her fare ready, and ! watched her
as she deftly extracted dime from her
pocketbook and held it on the palm of a
pretty hand, ready for the conductor. "
"You were hit hard, Bailey"
"Then / thought me Of my own fare,
and as was holding a newspaper in
nv hand l rose aud dived down into my
pocket for nickel. The conductor came
along and l handed it to him just as
my vis-a-vis said:
"What has become of my 10 cents9'
"There she sat staring at her hand,
which was no longer occupied by the
piece of silver. We all looked for it,
but it had disappeared, and she found a
nickel with which she paid her fare. At
that moment / slipped my hand into
my oyercoat pocket and found there the
10 cent piece.
How could you identify it?" asked
one of the boys.
~ never carry money in an outside
pocket Besides it had not been there q
moment before. No, knew how it hap
pened My paper had whisked it from
her hand, and it had dropped from it
to my pocket, as explained to her.
"Was she surprised? What did she
say?"
"Boys, / can't tell you all she said.
Please don't ask me. She remarked
that no one could judge by appearances,
and she hoped it twas my first beginning
in a life of crime; that if had been
hardened would not have returned it
to her, but that probably / saw that
she suspected me, and lot more, while
the fellows IN the other seats were guy
ing me. But you can bet your bottom
dollar l never find any woman's money
and return it to her again. Not much,

A MERRY COMPANY.

Prof. Harry FOote who produced the
Juvenile opera at the opera house last
week, has had many urgent requests
to repeat the performance In order that
those who were unfortunate in not
seeing the production might attend, and
many who did attend are DESTROYS of
going again, so he has consented to
give the opera all at one admission
fee. This will enable those interested
in drill affairs at present, an Opportu-
nifty of witnessing the best amateur
performance ever given in San Anto-
Mo. The engagement at the Grand
the first part of the week did not pay
expenses although the show was an ar
tistic success of the highest character
no doubt owing to the drill and other
outdoor attractions. Prof. FOote has
worked untiringly for six weeks and
deserves the benefit which Lext Friday
night win bring.
All children taking part are request,
ed to meet promptly at Beethoven hal
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock for re
hearsal after which a supper will %

Curious Offerings by Vendors.

A street vender said that anything
that might be offered could be sold in
the street. Some things sell better than
others, and for some the demand is
more continuous than for others, but
buyers can be found for anything if the
article is brought to their attention. A
knowledge of this fact prompts the
Offering sometimes of curious things or
things that at first thought seem curl
Gus, that one would not expect to see
offered in this way. But the fact will
be recalled, if one dwells for moment
upon this subject, that there are always
people to be seen standing around look
ing at these novel offerings. Their nov
city attracts some attention, and then
there are more or less people who want
the things.
Here was a man, for instance, selling
files, nothing whatever but files, Of
which he had push cart full. There
were files of various sizes and of all
kinds-flat files, half round, square,
three cornered and rattail-all at the
uniform price Of cents each or six for {
quarter. And there was fair trade do
ing in these files. The many people who
pass in the course CT the day along {
busy street have manifold wants. Some
among Their want files.
Files cannot be sold steadily by
street vendors, as many other things
are-there is a limit to the quantity
that this market will absorb.-but there
is some sale for files in the street, a,
there is for pretty much everything tina
is offered. New York Sun.

PRAYERS THE LITTLE CHILDREN SAY.

The prayers the little children say
They are not fine of speech,
But they hold deeper mystery
Than any pome'could teach,
And they reach farther up to heaven
Than wiser prayers can reach.
The angels laugh 10 hear each day
The prayers the little children say.
The prayers the little children say
No toiling angel brings.
They pass right through the shining ray
That searches selfish things.
They are so little that they slip
Between the guarding wings.)
And God says, "Hush and give them wayf"

They have forgot his name.

FOR A RECEIVER.
Gebhardt Gahweiler Wants Business
Settlement.


Gebhardt Gahweiler began suit In
the Forty-fifth District court yester-
day for dissolution of partnership of
the firm of Harris & Gahweiler of the
West End Lumber Co., and for the
appointment of a receiver. He COM
plains of ]. F. and w. H. Harris and
shows in the petition that the three
formed a partnership Of the firm. He
claims that the books have been kept
in the interest of the two defendants by
a bookkeeper employed by them, and
that he has been overcharged on the
profit and loss account for the purpose
of augmenting the share and unjustly
enriching ]. F. Harris. Plaintiff says
that he did not learn of these matters
until a few days ago, that he is ig-
norant and knows nothing of bookkee-
ping, and is powerless to protect him
self from any wrongful acts of defen-
dants in the premises. He says that
on June /, 1896, F. Snipes, the book
keeper for the firm, took 1925 of the
firms money without the knowledge
or consent of plaintiff, and used it, CIV
ing therefor a note, which is still un-
paid, and that ]. F. Harris has col
lected 1921 on lumber sold, which has
not been entered in the books. He
shows that the debts of the firm are
$4,000 and the assets $4,000.

f1Ounces are seen rather more often than
anything, and they are made wide or
narrow, straight or bias, gathered or
plated, just as one likes best. A new
departure is to have the flounces placed
only on the side breadths, in straight
or slanting lines, leaving the front and
back breadths free. Some have four
accordion plated flounces in graduated
widths covering the whole of the skirt
except the front breadth, which is left
plain. Valenciennes is sewed straight
along the edges of these plated flounces
and also on the gathered ones, regain
ing its old time favor as trimming for
light materials.
The skirts are now made in the five
and seven gored shape and not nearly
so full as they were six months ago.
Some have 30 very narrow ruffies. 9th
ers have but four or five. One style of
f1ounce ON figured taffeta was three
inches wide, of the dress material and
cut bias. This was edged at the top
and bottom with a narrow satin ribbon
gauffered closely. On this skirt were
two of these fiounces, one at the bottom
and the other above the knees. Another
fancy was to have three knife plated
hounces, each five inches wide and set
three inches apart. Each was headed by
a band of the new heavy application
lace. The ruffies were of japanese Grape
to match the color of the grosgrain silk
of silver gray. There was skirt of
figured india, in large design, of pale
purplish flowers on dull green ground.
Around the bottom there was one row
of wide cream colored oriental lace set
on full, but even with the edge. Above
that another ruffie of the same lace was
sewed in festoons, headed by black
velvet ribbon lined with gold thread.
This was quite an ornate and almost
too dressy a design and yet was much
admired. 1t was intended for an after
noon promenade occasion.
Wooden skirts are braided, some Of
them in arabesQues, others in fanciful
designs in vines and flowers, and still
more-and these are the latest-have
wide braid sewed on in curious fancies
across the front to the back breadth
around the hips and down the fronts.
Toward the bottom it is turned in picot
loops. The fancy for latticework trim
ming grows, and we now find that, too
on the skirts in various designs. In one
instance it was formed of white lace in
sertion in a plan covering nearly the
whole skirt. The lower edges of the
lattice were finished by full plated
frill of black silk muslin. The material
was MORE Iuohair in pale shades of
| gray, silvery in some lights.
The waists vary little, the most no
ticeable thing about them being the un-
usual number of ruffles and the bretelles,
for on nearly every one the gathered Oh
blouse waist is seen with such changes
as may have been considered desirable.
The sleeves are curiously arranged at
the top. Some of them have square caps
edged with ruffles, gatherings, fringes
and plain bindings. One sleeve had six

PHOTOGRAPHIC MYSTERIES.


The Surprising Images That Sometimes
Show After Plate Is Developed.
1t is no uncommon experience to find
upon new plates certain images for
which there seems no possible explana-
ton, their startling and unaccountable
appearance being ''wropt in mistry, !"
causing establishment not unmixed with
uncanny feeling. A gentleman made
an exposure upon the interior OF
friends house. He was doubtful of the
time and proceeded to develop for I'M
der exposure. To his great surprise the
plate developed quickly, and to his
greater surprise the image was an in
terror quite different from that upon
which he had exposed. The plate was
from a fresh box and could not possibly
have had previous exposure.
Another instance of the kind, having
quite sensational and tragic ending,
is on record. An exposure was made
upon view having river in the fore
ground. The photographer, while de-
veloping this peculiar plate, was per-
fectly astounded by an appearance
which he had not seen while taking the
photograph, and for which he could in
no way account On completing the
development there was plainly reveal
ed in the foreground of the picture the
figure of woman, apparently floating
upright in the water. Not many weeks
after, to complete the mystery, the body
of a woman was found in the river at
the exact spot where the photograph
had been taken.
Again, not long since, the daily pa
pers were agitated over the account of
a travelling photographer who, upon
making an exposure upon the exterior
of a reputed haunted house, discovered
at one of the windows portrait of the
murdered man through whom the
house had gained its evil name. In an
other case three distinct images, having
no connection one with the other, were
impressed upon single film. The plate
was exposed upon garden in the even
ing-nothing remarkable being seem
but when placed in the developer a
mans hat of old fashioned shape,
child's dress and a dog were distrib-
uted over the image of the garden.
Such mysterious images were more
common in the days of wet plates than
now A few years back Professor Bur
ton investigated the matter. Upon trac-
ing back the history of the glass he
found that it had been used for other
films, and that the images which ap-
peared undoubtedly arose from the re-
mains of previous images. The old
glass was thus proved to be the source
of the ghosts; it only deepened the sci
entifc mystery, while it cleared away
the supernatural. The glass traced by
Burton had been washed for some
weeks, immersed in strong nitric acid,
and every means taken to insure chem
ical cleanliness, yet in spite of all this
enough energy remained latent to form
a developable image upon the new film,
whether by chemical or physical force
remains to be discovered. A complete
solution of the difficulty would prob
ably throw considerable light upon the
nature of the Photographic images in
general At least, it seems to indicate
that light is not absolutely essential i'll
the formation of latent images in a
sensitive film.-American Journal of
Photography.
