it seemed dishonor to all her happy
past not TO have something special on
Thanksgiving; and so she had feel
ing Of real pity for it, lying there
warm and snug in her palm, and so
soon to go tumbling into the heap of
clashing, jingling coins tossed about
by the butchers greasy fingers, or
perhaps into the pocket of that hor-
rible apron with blood-stains on it.
Miss Matte shuddered, hut quickly
recovered herself to say, cheerfully:
ooh, thank you, Mr.. Simmons; but
don't you think ducks are Il sight of
trouble, what with the stuifing and the
roasting and needing to be looked
after and basted regular? 1 made up
my mind to something simple, aud |
don't know anything that's easier got
or more relishing than lamb chops.
Two lamb chops is about what /
thought of, Mr.. Simmons. You know
there's only me-"
Mr.. Simmons had not seen the FIVE
cent piece, but he understood Just as
well as if he had, and he began to cut
the chops at once, talking all the time
to relieve his own embarrassment and
assuring Miss Matte that "if folks
only knew it, there was nothing like
lamb chops to encourage your appe-
tite and strengthen you up all over. "
{. "But you'll have to take three
chops" looking curiously atthe money
Miss Matte laid in his big hand, "or
I'll have to make change, and change
is scarcer than hens teeth tonight
You might have company unexpected,
you know, and an extry chop would
come in handy"
Miss Matte laughed so genially
that the market man ventured to slip
a sweetbread and bunch Of yellow
celery into the basket On the sly. He
would have loved TO put in the duck,
but that would have looked as il he
suspected her reason for not buying
IL, and, bless you, he knew better
than that Some people have feel

Removing Stains From Silver.

TO remove stains from silver, especi.
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub.
bing it on with o little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains,
the pulp Of lemon, whose juice has
been used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, as both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
OF lines. 1t may be as we'll to warn
housekeepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such consideration, that,
where one has to reheat food in o sill
yer dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, a baking tin should
be half filled with hot water, doubled
sheet of paper should be placed in this
and the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from tho
effects Of the oven heat. Again, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis.
color plated or silver dishes, aways
run little weak aspic jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayon-
naise, ETC., to be served In it, and II
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other materials the dish
will suffer no damage that hot soap
and water will not easily remove.

It seems that under the present ar
rangement Delaware elects its COVER
nor on the day of the presidential cleo
ton and he serves four years. A strong
movement is on foot in the state to
change the date of the election 80 that
It shall occur between the national
contests, as used to be the case before
the death Of Governor Marvil caused
Q special election. which was for a full
term. The movement is we'll support
ed, but for all that it should be de-
feated. It is far better that all cleo
lions be held at the same time, both on
the score of economy and for other
reasons. There is an incentive to cor
ruption when state elections are so
held as to become straws to show
which way the political wind is
blowing. which does not exist under
ordinary circumstances.

One of the most unpleasant incidents
Of American college life was the send
ing Of Yale university flag and let
ter to professional thug about to en-
gage in prize-iight. The letter asked
the prize-fghter to hang the flag in
his corner of the ring, and assured him
that If he won the fight it would "de-
light the hearts of all true Yale men,"
It was signed by few members Of the
Junior class. This act was promptly
repudiated by the almost unanimous
sentiment of the university. The sur
prising feature of the incident is, that
students who had spent more than two
years in the university should have so
lmeagre an idea of the proprieties Of
college life as to take such liberty
with the Yale colors, and presume to
line up "all true Yale men" on the side
of one thug as against another thug.
There can hardly be doubt that every
young man who signed his name to
that letter is already ashamed OF the
act.

Flow many Of the younger students
Of public affairs know that the greatest
power of the president of this republic
IL in the so-called pocket veto? When
he vetoes an act Of congress and re-
turns it to the house, in which It
originated, 1t still can be made law
BY q two-thirds vote of the senate and
Of the house Of representatives. But
when he refrains from approving or
disappearing an enactment, the meas
ure dies at the expiration of the legal
limit Of time for action after the adj
journment Of congress. That Is a pock-
ct veto. and from it there is no ap-
peal. It is an interesting fact that the
chief magistrate derives his greatest
power from a provision that is SEEM
angly incidental.

Efforts to Stop the Train Were
Futile.

Chicago, June 10. - A north-bound
suburban train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il st. Paul road ran into the
Chicago river ut Kinzie street. Six
men were hurt but it is not expected
that any of them will die.
The train, which consisted of the
engine and two cars. the first being q
combination smoking and baggage
car, and the second car u passenger
coach. which left the depot and five
minutes later the engine and first car
were under the Surfact of the Chicago
river. The railroad crosses the river
at Kinzie street. which is not over q
quarter of Il mile Forth of the depot,
and that train was consequently NOV
ing slowly. But for this fact the entire
train must have gone into the river and
the loss of life been very heavy, as the
passenger coach which did not go in.
contained about thirty passengers.
Ike trains always stop an instant be-
fore going upon the bridge, and En-
gfneer Cleveland cane to Il stop about
200 feet south of the bridge. The
lights were all right, signalling that the
draw was closed and he started up
again. In a minute he saw through
the darkness that the bridge was open.
and made desperate efforts to stop the
train. 1t was too late, however. and
the engine plunged into the open draw
dragging With it the first car. The ac-
cident, according to James Harrington,
the bridge tender. was due entirely to
the arrangement of the lights on the
bridge. The tracks are not more than
four feet above the surface of the
water and the fall was not great.
About fifteen people. including the
trainmcn. We're carried into the water
but all were rescued without difficulty.
