PREMIUM ON SILENCE.
This story Tells How WiIie Virgins
Won u bet.


Won bet.
Willie Virgins and his chum, Tommy
TomplSins, were sitting together on the
curbing down the street the other day,
when Mrs. Virgins came to the front
door and glanced up and down the
street as il looking for some one, says
the Ohio State journal. Presently she
spied the object of her search and called
out:
"Willie, / want you"
She then reentered the house and
busted herself about her household du-
ties.
A minute later Mrs. Tompkins put
her head out of window half block
away and yelled at the top of her voice:
Tommy! You come home this very
| minute!"
Neither spoke word.
Five minutes passed away, when both
| women again made their appearance az
| the same moment:
ooh, Willie" called Mrs. Virgins.
No answer.
"Tom-my!" shouted Mrs. Tomplins,
"Willie." again called Mrs. Virgins.
~ wish you would hurry home. / want
YOU"
Tommy Tompkins," shouted his
mother, in an angry tone, 'if you are
not here in mighty short order I'll see IL
l can't help you along"
Neither the pleading voice of Mrs.
Virgins nor the angry tone Of Mrs.
Tompkins seemed to have any effect on
the two boys and they both remained
silent and motionless as their respective
mothers again disappeared. About two
minutes later Willie put in his appear
ance.
Did you want me, mainma?" he
asked.
did / want your" exclaimed his
mother. "Of course wanted you. Why
didn't you come when / first called
you?"
Cause Tommy Tompkins bet me

Willie. "He didn't do it, though" he
continued, as he drew himself up with
the air Of a victor. His ma came after
him with switch"

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
A Tender Tie Which Should BE
strengthened by CONFIDENCE.

a
strengthened by Confidence.
The careful shelter of the girls of the
stately colonial days in American his
tory is as possible with us to-day as it
was in the olden times. Not in the let
ter, perhaps, butin the spirit. But be-
fore we can bring back those ideal in
fences it is necessary that we should
return to one or two of the conditions
which existed and made those infu-
ences possible. Our mothers should be
more familiar with their daughters
than they are. The multifarious out
side duties into which women of this
latter day have gone have not served to
strengthen the tie between mother and
daughter. If anything, they have
loosened the relation. The colonial
mother lived in her home; the mother
of to-day lives too much outside of it..
The daughter in the Knickerbocker
home was the first thought of the
mother; the daughter of to-day is all
too often the last thought of her
mother. Such changes in home affairs
are not marks of progress. In fact,
it requires reading of old books some
times to see how little actual progress
we have really made. More often, the
wisest progress would be- for us to go
back bit, and see whence we started.
There are potent lessons for us in the
past. Our grandmothers knew a thing
or two. Some things they knew better
than do their 6shildren.-Edward
w. Box, in Ladies' Home Journal.

HoD THE BLADE WAS OPENED.


did, but the boys of to-day seem to have
forgotten the trick"
Uncle Nat put on his spectacles, drew
out his handkerchief and wound it
about Jimmy's knife, blade and all. He
did it slowly, so that it would be tight.
Jimmy looked on wonderingly. When
the winding was finished Uncle Nat
held the free corner of the handker-
chief firmly between his thumb and
finger and gave the knife sharp little
twitch and throw. OF course the hand
kerchief unrolled rapidly, and when
the knife flew out the blade was open.
There" said Uncle Nat, "easy
enough, isn't it?"
And Jimmy was able to do the same
thing at the first trial, and after that
he wasn't troubled with blade that
stuck.--Chicago Record.

The Great Constantine.

Constantine the Great was not saint.
He murdered his wife, one or two of
his sons, a considerable number of his
other relatives, and was guilty of a
score of assassinations and murders.
He was Christian only in name, and
seems to have known little or nothing
of the religion he professed.-Chicago

Chimes Of Normnndy.

Do you want to hear the chimes of
Normandy? If you do, all you need is
heavy silver spoon and piece of
string. Tie the string at its center
around the handle of the spoon, leav-
ing the ends three or four feet long.
Now wind the ends around your two
forefingers near the first joint and then
thrust your fingers in your ears. Bend
over and allow the tablespoon to knock
against the wall or the door or chair
and you will be surprised at the really
beautiful imitation of church chimes
which you will hear.-Chicago Record.

A CURB ON CAsTELLANE.

Reports are beginning to be whisper
ed in the select circles of London and
Paris that serious trouble has arisen be-
tween Count and Countess Boni Castel.
lane over the formers insensate extrav.
agance, and it is said that even the vast
fortune of Jay Gould's daughter is
proving unequal to the drain being
made upon it by the financial follies of
the count.
Information now reaches here from
a sure source, that the question of sep.
aration by mutual consent, or, if not, by
|, gal decree to be applied for by the
countess, is being discussed by relatives
and lawyers on behalf of both husband
and wife.
Matters appear to have been brought
to head by the absolute refusal of the
countess to advance any more money
to meet the constantly increasing de-
mands for the Accomplishment of Boni's
colossal folly of building replica of
the Grand Trianon in Avenue du Bois
De Boulogne.
The construction of this lordly pleas
nre house has Leen lately interrupted
because the Countess, acting under ad.
vice from her relatives, declined to give
anything more toward the enormous
mount OF funds necessary for it's COM
peton on the scale of grandeur pro-
lected by her husband. The outlay on
me costliest marbles alone are said to
fabulous.
He proposed that the palace should
iuclude theatre, gorgeously decorated
by the principal living artists, and that
it should be provided with all the most
perfect modern scenic appointments
and an auditorium large enough to seat
500 persons.
The extravaganza of Count Boni, in
all directions, amounts to mania.
Everything .he gets must be several de-
grees more costly and rare than is pos
sessed by his weallhiest friends.
IL would take the wealth of Monte

alleged against him.

sition which her fortune has secured for
Ter.
She is in fact rather lay figure in
the Castellane household, and the fnan-
cial demands of her husband must have
been startling, indeed, when she was
spurred to resist them.
The talk of separation is regarded
more as last attempt to put the

a serious project; but, all the same, ne
