 Beginning my active career in Italy, have outlived many owners, but now repose in glass front cabinet in Chica- go. It was at first in a very humble home, about the only thing of real value the home possessed, except my mistress and owner, sweet-faced, sweet-voiced lnez Mardatti. You should see her and know her as I do to properly estimate her worth.
 Of Italian descent, small but shapely, with cheeks of the swarthy red and brown, which is my complexion, too, eyes of deeper brown through which her soul gazes, teeth of polished pearl, hair blue-bIack like a ravens glossy plumage, her cheap dress did not sue ceed in obscuring her beauty or the shapeliness of the little form which had the easy movements of queen half dis guised in beggar's garb. When she laid her cheek against mine, and charmed me into the proper mood until our voices melted into one, you would have in in I loved her and why.
 All know that I have a voice which is a marvel, but it is shy like all real talent, and responds only to the master ly touch it loves, knows and under stands Inez had a voice as clear and clean as that of bird, bell like in ring ing tone, full of lights and shadows which broke forth in song, sometimes capering merrily as insects do in the sunlight, sometimes ripping with tune ful laughter like that of a mountain brook, sometimes vibrating with deep emotion, sometimes sobbing with unshed tears. And 1? laughed, cried, reioiced, walled, or broke into cata- racts of jubilant praise in touch and tune Mltl nGT. OuT HtdTtS anu NOlCtS were twins.

 lnez was poor, and lived in locality where haggard sights and sounds were but too eommon; but evil did not mar this soul of noble inspiration and in- stinct. You may splash mud upon q diamond or dust upon the opal but yoa cannot reach with it the flame in the heart of the one or the wondrous chang ing iridescent light of the other. Stains do not penetrate to the inner altar upon which burns the sacred flame of the really valuable gem.

NEW YEARS DAY.

Some of the Events and Customs Con-
 nected with This Anniversary.
 January 1 was made tle beginning of the legal year in England in 1752.
 On New Years day in ancient Egypt there were processions in every temple.
 The legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland took place on January 1, 1901.
 Abraham Lincoln was issued January 1, 1863.
 The American Indians had sort of New Year festival, celebrated with feasting and dancing.
 In Siberia the state prisoners of the czar are allowed a rest and holiday on New Years day.
 In Athens a new statue, either to a god or hero, was erected and conse- crated on the first day of every year.
 In the south of France it is customary for families of means to give their serv- ants new suits on New Years day.
 In Norway there is a superstition that the kind of fish caught on New Years day indicates the character of the fishing during the year.
 The custom of watching out the old year and waiting for the new to begin prevails in many countries, if not in most of the civilized world.
 Suetonius and Tacitus allude to the custom common in their time among the Romans of sending and receiving presents on New Years day.
 In Coventry, England, God cakes gre made for New Years day. They aro triangular in shape, made of paste, inc closing portion of mince meat.
 In Wales there is a superstition that money should not be paid out on New Years day, for, if it is, the payer will have bad financial luck all through the year.
 In 1543, after the introduction of metal pins as an article of feminine use, they became popular as New Year presents. They were very expensive, and for gentleman to make his lady friends present of four or five pins was consid- cred a very happy thought.
 In the old missals the month of Jan- uary was pictorially represented by white-haired man clad in furs, bent with the cold and blowing on his fin- gers to warm them. He is standing al- most knee-deep in the snow, and bil- let of wood and sometimes an ax are by his side.
 After the fall of the empire and the restoration of the Bourbons in Paris . fashion arose of giving bonbons as New Years present. The confectioners prepared for the New Years trade, and it was estimated that on the two days before New Years of 1922 thousand tons of candies were sold in the confec- tioners' street in Paris.
 The ancient Jewish year began on March 25, and owing to the fact that many, if not most, of the Christians were of Jewish origin, and thus gave tone to early Christianity, the Jewish year was long retained among Chris tian converts and many of the writings of the early fathers were dated accord ing to the Jewish division of time.
 Janus, the Roman deity, whose name was given to the first month, was the god of all gates, doors and entrances. He presided over the beginning of new enterprises. His image was placed above doors and gates, and he was al- ways represented with two faces. one looking outward, the other inward. Special sacrifices were offered to Janus on the first day of the year and a feast was held in his honor during the month. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

IJl H& Z----- Ana nave you brought
 us golden gifts Beneath your shining wing? O, will your skies be always fair, Your seasons always gay, With not single cloud to mar The brightness of the dayP And will you tell the springtime Her favors we bespeak, When we in sylvan glades and glens Her earliest trophies seek? Will March forbear to fiout us With clustering jibes and jeers, And April show her sunniest smiles In place of frowns and tears? Win summer bring her roses To deck the woodland bowers, With not a single cruel thorn Concealed among her fiowers9 And will she coyly finger
 When harvest songs go round, Till all the gleaming swaths are cut And golden sheayes are bound? o. tell us, happy New Year. Will all our friends be true, And will each cup o'erflow with Joy Unmixed with taste of rue? Will every heart be joyful. And every eye be bright. With not a single tear to dim The luster of their sight? "Ah. no." the New Year answered, Such gifts promise not, For joy and sorrow mingled Must be each mortais lot But if you heed them rightly Lifes clouds and thorns and tears- Then not single vain regret Will mar your future yearsr'

He Thought She Was Begging, But
She Merely Wanted the Mustard.
One of the richest men living, whose
immense wealth makes him a target
for poor people, has recently been in
Paris and the way in which he repealed
one of the applicants for his generosity
IS related like this, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch: On the opposite side of the
hotel table sat woman who had once
been rich.
"Monsieur, you Englishmen are so
ehivalrous-so ready to assist those in
distress"
"Yes," said the man of wealth, hest
tating. He had heard that before and
thought he knew what was coming
aext.
would you, with your usual gener-
isity, do me favor and great kind
ness?"
"Yes, madam-that is, it depends
somewhat"
Think well, monsieur, before you
promise, for it is a great kindness"
1t was the same old plea that he had
heard many times before from people
who wanted loan.

have to-but what is it you wish?"

monsieur, to pass me the mustard. You

TEAR PITS" OF THE DEER.
Grounds for the Poets Claims That
a Stag Weeps.


Both the poets and the prose writers
of imaginative or contemplative turn
of mind have often alluded to the tears
shed by stays and other wounded crea-
lures of the deer family, says the st.
Louis Republic. Shakespeare put it in
this way in describing the injured stag:
The big round tears
Coursed one another down his innocent
nose
IN piteous chase.
There is, of course, more poetry than
truth in these references to the actual
shedding of tears by members of the
deer family, yet it is fact that such
animals are provided with curious set
of organs, the action of which has
given rise to the tear shedding belief.
The organ in question is the lachrymal
inus or tear pit" which is situated
Just below each eye. 1t is kind OF
closed cavity, capable Of being opened
at the pleasure of its owner and which
secretes a greasy, waxy fluid. When
creatures provided with this curious
organ get hurt or become enraged it
has the effect of softening the waxy
substance in the "tear pit" When so
softened, it escapes as tears would and
flows down over the nose and face.
The uses of this queer set of so-called
.achrymal organs are not clearly under
stood by the biologists.
