NEW WESTERN IDEA.

Girls Who give Gold Models of Their
Little Fingers.
"Do little girls here give gold models
of their little fingers to their tiances"
asked the western girl of the Gothamite,
reports the New York Sun.
Heaven, MOI" answered the Gotham
ite. 1T seems to me that that is q rather
grewsome souvenir"
Not at ALL" answered the western
girl, 1T is decidedly dainty, and I'm
little surprised that New York is so
far behind the times. The fad started
in this way: When the daughter of one
of our big western politicians was six
months old he had model of her little
fuger east in gold. Around the little
dimpled digit is a ring of turquoise,
which is her birthstone, and it makes
lovely charm for her betrothed's watch
chain He valued il so much that it set
other men TO thinking, and the result
is that as soon as girl wraps one of
these chaps around her little finger suf-
ficiently for proposal TO follow, he i'm
mediately insists upon gold facsimile
of the flesh and blood original. 1t is
pretty conceit. and is being followed
by every westerner who is in subjection
to somebody's little finger"

peted. Opposite the door is a flat-topped
desk for Mr.. Sage's use. 1t is of polished
oak. At the other end of the room is a
roll-top desk of oak. On the tinted walls
are some photographs. 1t is in every re-
spect a well equipped modern business
Office. Beyond it is small room, hardly
larger than a closet, where Mr.. Sage
keeps his hat and coat and umbrella.
Mr.. Sage's customary dress is one-but-
ton sack coat of black, black trousers,
a white shirt, a standing collar and a
broad black bow.
Mr.. Sage is not partial to being in
terviewed. He is identified with the
control of institutions in which all New
York city is interested-the Manhattan
elevated railroads and the Western
Union Telegraph company-and his
Office, therefore, is much haunted by
reporters. Those who gather news in
Wall street for the great New York
Gailies tell me Mr.. Sage is good news
man"-that is, that it is easy to get in
formation from him, and that when he
gives out a statement you can rely on
its accuracy. Therefore, it is not be-
cause of amy indisposition to tell what
ever of public interest he knows that
Mr.. Sage objects to the interview. Nor
is it because he does not like to talk or
has little to say-for Mr.. Sage has a
ready tongue, and in life ranging over
80 years of the wonderful history
of this great country, he must have
seen and known great deal that is
worth telling. No; Mr. Sage's objec-
ton to being interviewed is based on
the fact that the publication of an In
terview always brings him an enor-
nous increase of his mail, and this in
crease is made up largely of begging
letters. Every wealthy man receives
a great many begging letters, and this
number is not measured by his reputa-
ton for liberality. Mr.. Sage is not re-
puted liberal-at least in the sense in
which that word is used most common
ly-and yet he receives quite as many
begging letters as does Mr.. Vanderbilt,
whose fame is identified with various
philanthropic institutions like the Char
ity Organization society.

Sage, when explained that wanted

1t was an ingenious ruse that pris-
oner who escaped from South Carolina
prison recently hit upon TO throw blood
hounds off his track. The convict was
tracked by the dog to farmhouse
where he had begged breakfast, lie

house peppered his tracks. The dog al

and enjoyed them immensely, finding
them lighter and more digestible with
out butter. She read Thanksgiving
psalm and went about trying TO sing
in a little chirrupy voice like a brown
sparrow. She brought in the small
basket and flushed over the unexpect-
ed treasuretrove, but took it kindly as
a bit Of neighborly goodwill. The
sweetbread, white and plump and all
ready for cooking. reminded her OF old
Mrs. Morrison, Just beginning TO sit
mp and watch the people go by tho
window. What ,toothsome dainty
this would be for her, and whaS de-
light that she should be able to take
it to her as she went TO church, yes,
and some Of the celery, too, for rel
ish. The chops were transferred to q
plate on the shelf, the swet dread
wrapped in fine old napkin and laid
back in the basket with the best half
Of the celery, and the biscuits Miss
Matte had saved for dinner.
"The cold bread will 90 just as we'll
with chops" she reflected, and pre-
pared for church with q glow OF hap
piness such as she had not known in q
long time.
II helped to real feeling Of thank
fulness, especially when she thought
Of old Mrs. Morrison, and how pleased
she had been with the unexpected
gift. She laughed little to herself
as she returned TO her own door after
service, remembering how when Sally
Morrison had commiserated her on be-
ing alone Thanksgiving Day, she had
assured her she had company invited

she said, smiling at Tommy, who lay
peacefully sleeping on the braided rug,
"but il old Miss Morrison had set in
to have me stay to dinner, shouldn't
a known how to get away, and she is
such talker."
With q long, clean apron over her
best frock, Miss Matte began cheer
fully to make her small preparations
for the Thanksgiving feast. She had
meditated leaving one chop for break
fast, but her walk and happiness had
made her hungry and she decided to
cook them oil.
But where did she put these chops

sons, but the old lady was just having
something relishing Miss Matte had

her to dinner, but she. had comply;

"Fiddlesticks!' said the deacon's
wife, in avery disrespectful tone, you

Marthy Ellison up here to dinner.
Tell her 1 don't take any excuse, and,
if she can't come otherways, she can
bring her comply along. though the
way them shif'less harnesses impose
on her is q mortal shame"
Good Deacon Giles had learned
docility in many years of experience,
and the double knock at Miss Matties
door followed'as quickly as could be
reasonably expected. Miss Matte at
tempted neither excuse nor hesitation,
but accepted her good providence with
radiant delight.

"Oh," said Miss Matte, laughing
into the little mirror, az she tied her
bonnet, "he's had his dinner and he's
gone out"
She didn't say that he had eaten
hers also, but at Mrs. Giles's hos
pitable table, under the genial inau-
ence of generous fare and pleasant
old-time "reminiscences, she told the
story of Tommy Barnes and the lamb
chops in q way that made the deacon
lose his breath with laughter. And
when she was tucked into the yellow
sleigh for the ride home, Mrs. Giles
stopped at the door to say:

Tommy was on the step waiting to
welcome Miss Matte, which shows
his forgiving disposition, and, though
he got as much as was good for him
ont of the basket under the seat, Miss
Matte very wisely concluded that the
mince pie, roast chicken and cram
berry sauce could hardly have been
meant for his delight, 50 she locked
them in the cupboard, saying de-
cidedly:

ings, though their fsces are red and
their hands coarse and greasy.
Miss Matte went very happily down
the street. She had lighted her lamp
before she went out, and a cheerful
little ray smiled encouragingly at her
as she came TO the gate. All the
other windows in the weather beaten
old house were black and empty and
looked to the lonesome little woman
as il all sorts Of hobgoblins might be
peeping out at her from the gloom be-
hind them, for Miss Matties neigh
bors had gone away on Thanksgiv-
ing visit and taken the whole family.
AT least they said "the whole family"
but at the very moment Miss Matte
came to the gate member Of the fam
lily was huddled up in corner Of the
doorway, cold, hungry and much per-
picked to understand what had become
Of oil his friends and why. in spite of
his pitiful plea, no one came to open
the door for him. He heard Miss
Matte and ran hopefully to meet her,
limping as he came, for he had stiff
leg.

Matte, STOPPING to pat his rough yell
low head, "you don't mean to say
your folks have gone off to Thanks
giving and left you beeind. Well, IL
I e-erl How dreadful-thoughtless-
and you q cripple besides!"
Tommy kept on crying, but he had
his eye on the door while Miss Matte
was fitting her key, and the minute it
opened he darted in.
"That's right, Tommy" said Miss
Matte; 'just make yourself at home.

Old Fashioned Gingerbread.

To any one in whose breast there
still linger haunting memories Of the
topography Of the genuine old fash
toned New England "card ginger.
bread" that hourished during the
early part OF this century, there will
come feeling Of thankfulness for this
family recipe, handed down for sew
eral generations from mother to
daughter: Two cupfuls Of Porto Rico
molasses, one cupful sugar, one cup
full drippings Tor half butter and half
lard), one cupful cold water, dessert
spoonful ginger, one tablespoonful
soda, and flour to make q rather soft
dough. 1t may be baked as of old.

could have sworn she put them on the
shelf-could she have left them in the
basket after all? Her perplexed eyes
fell from the shelf to the floor, aud
there, just peeping from the wood.box
was the plate, and two small, very
small, bits of bone, gnawed quite clean
and white.
Ungrateful Tommy Barnes, lying
there in peaceful slumber, with those
precious chops rounding out your yell
low sides, il justice had befallen you
then and there you might not have
lived to steal again. But into the
midst of Miss Matte righteous wrath
came the reflection that Tommy must
have been hungry, and the fault after
all was partly her own for putting
temptation in his way, though how
anything could have been further out
of his way than that shelf, don't
really see," she added, dolefully.
At that minute Tommy Barnes
walked from his nap, transformed him
self into q camel, yawned in fright
fully tigerish fashion, and proceededto
sharpen his claws on the rug, the
sacred rug into which had been
braided some precious old garments
dear to Miss Mattie's heart. 1t was a
straw too much to have insult added
to injury. and springing from her
chair, she cuffed Tommy in such
vigorous fashion that three or four
hearty blows found their mark before
the astonished sinner could withdraw
his claws and bound out at the back
door, left aiar in the search for the
chops. AT that instant resounding
knock ON the front door sent Miss
Mattie's heart to her throat with
sudden leap, rs il justice were already
coming to take her in hand for unrea-
sonable cruelty.
When Miss Matte was peacefully
pattering about, unconscious of the
cruel trick fate and Tommy Barnes
had played her, Mrs. Deacon Giles

and rubbed her forefnger uneasily
over a small coin that lay in the palm
of her hand under her glove. II was
