She was ten years old. She didn't
know at the time that Hive Syrup had
any properties besides taste and smell
But she found out. She had a cough
and the doctor said for her mother to
give her three drops of Hive Syrup
once an hour The little girl did not
object. She thought Hive Syrup was
good. 1t was at least sweet. She stay
ed out of school two days till her cough
was much better. And the morning
that she went back she did what she
had never dared to do before. disobey
her mother.
Mamma" she had asked. can /
take my cough syrup long so't | can
take il if I get a coughing SPELL"
No. you won't need it today You
didn't cough any last night
The little girl strapped her books to-
gether and shut her mouth firmly. 1t
would be dreadful if she should cough
in school so as to disturb anybody.
The bottle was on the clock shelf. The
syrup was sweet So when her mothers
back was turned the little girl popped
the bottle into her dinner basket and
marched to school
Occassionly all morning she bent her
head down to lick the cork from the
bottle. At recess she took quite a large
dose as the girls sat out under the trees
talking. They envied her After recess
she felt more hungry than ever for the
syrup.-for a little while Then she
did not feel hungry at all. She grew
quite pale around the lips. She felt
shivery all over and slipped quickly out
of the door without asking permission.
Out on the grass she lay quite still
for long time. How very sick she
felt. Tears of sympathy rolled down
her face and her hands shook so much
that she could not wipe them away.
The sun glared down at her through
the trees The grass felt icy under her
cheek.
She cannot bear to think of Hive
Syrup yet though she is grown UP.

count for them bunch of violets or
dozen roses, her hands tremble so that
the thorns from the rose stems pierce

teeth afterwards as she picks the
thorns out.

1t was at the children's day exer
cises at the church. The facetiOus boy
sat well to the back and talked to his
niece who was little younger than he
enjoyed the exercises. Nothing hap
pened that escaped their well-trained
eyes The quaver in the little girls
voice, that SILVER in the little boys
boots, the note of excitement in the
superintendent announcements -
these were excruciatingly funny.
The facetious boy gaped widely when
the end came. The superintendent. be-
fore he announced the last number, said
that he was not sure that all the little
girls were there. He would call their
names. He began. The class was one
of little girls and their voices answered
weakly as their names came. AS the
last name there was no answer.
Helen Grimstone." the superintend-
ent repeated.
No answer.
Helen Grimstone." he said loudly
and slowly.
He began again.
"Hel-en-''
The facetious boy giggled.
IF there was just a b to her last
name this couldn't seem much like a
Sunday school affair."

SHORT STORIES.


ties" in mathematics is highly fascin-
ating, especially in its practical appli-
cations. The less you know about it
the more disposed you feel to apply the
principles. After the first lesson you
can work out almost any problem in
volving chance. OF course, you make
mistakes, but they do not count. For
the principles of the theory itself say
mistakes average up, since the chances
are equal for making the mistake in one
direction or the other
You work out such problems as this,
If you happen to board in a boarding
house:
IF there are six biscuits on a plate
Of which five are burned on the bot
tom; and if you look tn other way and
spear one with a fork. what are the
proba bilities that you will spear the
good biscuit?"
But try it six times and you will not
get the coed biscuit unless you eat the
others as they COM.
Or, you take up a pile of old maya
zines; there are twelve of them and
you want two special numbers What
are the probabilities that the two you
want are on the top of the pill? Only
one in seven hundred and ninety-two.
This is why the magazines are always
at the bottom of the pile. Indeed it Of
ten happens that the magazines you
want arr in another pile or have been
borrowed. OF course that makes some
difference in the answer to the question
He was an old man, so old that he had
worn out all his ways of looking at
things and had gone back to the eyes
and ears of his childhood. 1t did not
matter at all to him that he lived out
on the bald prairie. He had garden
then and the beets and melons in it
were just exactly like the beets and
melons in his child-garden. though the
little garden used to be in the woods
where stumps interfered sometimes
with his childish work. Now he could
find sometimes in the odor of the earth
the smell of dead leaves, just as he
used to. And il did not matter that
the prairie flowers were not the same
as he used to know. His senses as len
isn't to him as people We're. made him
see daisies in the stiff little soldier caps;
he used to wear daisies in his hat. The
wild prairie roses were the old sweet
briers that grew i'm the pasture lot at
home. He could smell them when he
tried. His old eyes were too near
sighted to see the wide stretch of roll
ing prairie; they saw trees and streams
running over white pebbles and some
times even the hills where he used to
gather dewberries.
But the best of il all was that his
reason never told him that all his Wis
ions were not really true. At the last
he thought he was in his trundle bed
with his mother there. He was whis-
pering a Bible verse that she mad
taught him:
Remember thy Creator i'm the days
in the days" And then he died.

She is young girl whose father lost
all his money when the Lincoln boom
collapsed. She used to be in society
and dance and play high five and give
parties of her own. Now she sells flow
ers for a Lincoln florist.
She is not ashamed to work. She is
usually quite free from embarrassment
when the girls she used to talk to about
silk dresses. or the boys used to dance
with come in and give her their orders
for palms or roses. She even feels glad
to see some of these people. She under
stands of course how impossible il is
for them to invite her to any of their
parties. She could not go if they did
because she would have nothing to
wear. They probably know that and
care enough for her feelings not to force
from her an expression of her poverty.

today, largely because it's beauties and
its difficulties are not understood by the
present generation. The woman who can
pirouette all over the stage on her toe
tips and bound from place to place by
the strength of pair of muscular and
agile legs, is not in the running with the
latter day serpentine dancer, who. by
the by, is no dancer at all, but who is
only an ADEPT in posing and Orienta!
movements.
The principal dancers in THE Twelve
temptations" really do good work, and of
Kind that would have called out en-
thusiastic encores some years ago, but
now it is SO old that it is almost once
more novelty, and one of kind that is
not yet popular.
The hero of the piece was pereonated
by Miss Caroline Rudolph, and. the hero
ire by Miss Leila Hutton in flaxen wig.
Miss Rudolph played a stilted part in
stilted way, and there was evidently no
other way of playing it. She looked
quite fetching in her costume, which
consisted of very full and very white
shirt with large turn-down collar,
little red jacket, tiny trouserettee of
red stripe bedticking, red tights and
high jackboots, the pinnacle of this
strawberry cream confection being sur
mounted by a shock of auburn curls
and little red fiat cap. This is Just
the costume in which the unfortunate
Hubert, the valiant knight, would nat
urally roam about the world in while
studying how to retrieve hie fallen for
tunes by trip to the Klondyke of the
period. Only when Miss Hubert re-
marked that she had no means of sup
port she was observed to cast a eatis,-
fled glance at the red tights which
inclosed supports of no mean dimen-
sions and also of much grace and
beauty.
Little Miss Hutton, as the beloved
object, did the thinking act. The fun
niest person in the cast was the Snow
Queen, who calculated her lines with
such rapidity and vehemence that they
seemed to come from a sort of verbal,
Gatling gun. Gus Bruno, jr, who is
detailed . do the comic lead, is not
funny, ard has a sort of consnmptive
cough that seems to trouble him as we'll
as the audience. He works hard enough
for two men, but his only scene that
appeared to catch on was the turn with
Josie Sisson, as Bright Eyes, which was
of the regular vaudeville type and was
applauded. Miss Sisson is blessed with
a particularly good figure and is up to
a fair average in a song and dance in
terlude.
An acrobatic interlude by Rosare and
Elliott, in the style of Caron and Her.
bert at the Orpheum, was very we'll
done and spoiled only by an unneces-
sary coarseness on the part of the clown.

10 ANGELES THEATER.-In spite
of all the reflections that have been cast
upon the taste, or want or taste, of the
theater goers of this city, there was am
pie proof afforded last night that when
the right kind of show comes along they
are willing and ready to patronize it to
the fullest extent. The right kind of
show, in this instance, evidently was
'"The Twelve Temptations, and the pub
lie filled the gallery and the balcony to
overfiowing, while the seats in the par
quet were at premium, all of them be-
ing occupied, with the exception of 4
few rows in the rear which did not afford
the desired view.
1.-THE Twelve Temptations has been
seen in this city on previous occasions
at remote dates, but IL is one of those
elastic concoctions that are capable of
indefinite expansion and alteration, en-
titling it on each occasion to the rank
of novelty. There is but the faintest
attempt to keep up the fairy story, the
characters entrusted with that duty
wandering on and off the stage and
"spouting" their stilted lines in high
pitched voices that sounded curiously
artificial. with the thee-ing and thou
ing employed. The other characters for
the most part talked all at once and at
random, busying themselves meanwhile
in the horse-play that forms the staple of
the comic" scenes.
The chief attraction is the ballet, which
is composed Of sixteen ladies, in addi-
ton to the principal dancers. The latter
give excellent reminiscent performances
Of the style of ballet dancing that was
once so popular, but which, like the
legitimate drama, is not much in favor
