Virtues BUSY Inning.

Albert Rockingham and John Dawson
had been boys together. Albert had al
ways gone to Sunday school and obeyed
his parents, but John had been bad
boy He had loved to torture kittens,
to destroy birds nests and to make lit
tie girls cry
In time they grew to manhood and
loved the same woman.
Julia Birdsall worshiped Albert
Rockingham until he was arrested fol-
highway robbery and sentenced to the
penitentiary for 81 years. Then hcI
heart turned to stone.
Julia he cried as they were lead.

But she gave him the Chilkat pass
and tainted in the arms of John Daw-
son, who smiled sardonically and NUT
tered:
$50 much, Albert Rockingham, fol-
being a good boy and going to Sunday
school.
Twelve years passed-l2 weary, sor-
row laden years, during which John
Dawson made love to the woman who
had promised to be Albert Rocking
ham wife and collected the rents that
the falsely accused man ought to have
had
But Nemesis had all along been bid
ing her time. and one day, when John
Dawson wasn't looking, she stole up
and hit him on the solar plexus.
Two days later Albert Rockingham
emerged from prison, weighing II
pounds more than he did when he was
sentenced.
'Julial" he cried when she stepped
forward at the depot
"Albertr screamed the beautiful
girl, and their lips met.
Then John Dawson was led away,
gritting bis teeth aud swearing that he
was not through yet
Vain threat He rotted in dungeon,
while Albert and Julia raised a large
family and were truly happy.
Thus virtue had triumphod, but IN
fortunately this didn't happen in real
life.

in residence 1t Balmoral. A friend hay

A Democratic Prince.

Several years ago Prince Oscar Of
Sweden. nephew Of the present king,
shocked court circles by declaring that
he intended to marry Miss Ebba Monk,
& young lady OF patrician birth, but yet
far below him in rank The king pro-
tested and even refused to permit the
marriage, wliereupon Prince Oscar de-
clared that he would yield his title and
resign all rights Of succession, but that
marry Miss Monk he certainly would.
The marriage was celebrated in due
time, and Prince Oscar has never been
seen III the royal circles since The king
aud queen haze maintained friendly but
distant relations with their democratic
nephew, who is known simply as Prince
Oscar, and who is immensely popular
with the people because OF his philan-
thropy
Prince Oscar and his wife lave been
devoted to causes of charity and benev-
olence, but recently have created sec
ond sensation by joining the ranks of
the Salvation Army The prince and
his wife hold regular open air meetings
according to tic methods OF the army.

The linen edges to be Worn turned
over a dress stock or collar must be kept
immaculate to be beautiful, but with
care they give dainty touch to q
woman's dress. In somewhat cheap
embroidery they cost 80 cents, in finer
quality with a plain hemstitch sixty odd
cents, and in finer embroidery rs cents.
Homstitching is pretty work to be done
at home, and these simple edges have
only to be put Oh the binding, which is
worn inside the collar, an opening be-

The Boy Bandit

BLACK Bill, the boy bandit Of the

to be living reality in the youthful
mind Of Charles Weber. Intimate as
ISOLATION with the bandit OF fiction
aroused desire for more adventure
than is incident TO the position Of Office
boy with doctor Answering bell IS
tiresolne work to many boys. To Charles
Weber it was crushing burden. He
stood it until the other day, when Black
Bill, the boy bandit, took hypnotic con-
troll OF him Then the boy ran suddenly
from the house and found a policeman.
II have been robbed, he walled, "by
. tall, black robber with long black
hair, black hat aud a black jack. ;"
The police of the East One Hundred
and Fourth street station hunted for the
black man until Detective Wilbur de-
cided that the boy's story looked yell
low" Charles Weber was arrested
and was pleased with the situation.
Black Bill was often in the tolls of the
law, he remembered.
Inc BOY was SO slla4l lHa1 poA1ee

that Magistrate Cornell could see him

Coleman on the Cut.

Mr.. r. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president of
the National Cycle Board of Trade, an l
president of the Western Wheel " orks, III
speaking on the cut in bicycles, says:
This cut in the price Of 800 wheels mas
occasioned no surprise. We expressed the
opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring to maintain a fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on Crescents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels.
zone Of the secrets Of the success Of the
Western Wheel Works is, that we not
only guarantee our wheels. but we guaran-
tee our prices as well, and the purchaser
Of a Crescent in February has the satissac-
ton OF knowing that his neighbor who
purchased a Crescent in July paid the
same price as he did.
II do not anticipate that a still further
reduction in the price Of bicycles will be
made this year"

foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into a basin,
and has been reduced by nature into
a pure black earth unmiXed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing it with mineral salts, until now
there is a layer Of indicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value Of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
dier, Sam Story, who had brouga.
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with it for years. He was at
tempting to dig a drainage ditch
through the mud deposit. and after in
dulging in this useless experiment for
a week or more, gave up the idea, bu.
meanwhile had been cured of his rheu-
matlSm.
The fame Of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the Springs
from everywhere. The method OF u.s.
ing the mud was at first very primi-
tive, the patient merely sitting down
in the deposit where nature had laid
it. But since then Improvements have
been made, a beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how it's done.
