Louisville Times: The night was chill,
but not cold. The city streets thronged
with men and women going home from
work. and the mock moonlight of the
electric lamps irradiated the sidewalks
of the stores. A gentleman came up the
streets walking rapidly along with his
hands thrust in his overcoat pockets. Just
as he neared the corner small boy APP
preached and begged him for a nickel
lhe man paused q moment thrust his
hand in his pocket and good-naturedly
tossed the boy coin.
He had hardly gotten half a square
away when the boy came running after
him.
Here, sir he cried. holding out the
money, did you know you had given
me a So gold piece? / found it out when
/ looked at the money under the light at
the corner.
The gentleman took the coin back and
thrust it in his pocket. My good boz,
ne said. with touch of feeling in his
voice, you must be rewarded for your
honesty. Take this Fl BILL my boy, and
come to my place of business tomorrow
and let me see what l can do FOR sucE
a sturdy little fellow
Herewith he handed the boy 81 and went
whistling on his way. after giving his
name and business address
Did the boy go next morning? Nav,
the boy did not go. The boy had palmed
off bright, new copper cent on the gen
epous man for a S. gold piece and made
81 by the transaction. And now the gen
erous man IS waiting for the honest lit

PRETTY HoME-MApE rRIFLEs.

One of the most useful little access
series to the dressing table is a hair re-
ceiver, and pretty design for one is
shown in the Illustration.
From stiff Dasteboard cut the frame
for the sides, five inches long at the
bottom, three inches and a half across
at the top, and two inches and a half
high, while for the top square of the
board measuring three inches and a
half is to be arranged with hole one
inch and half at the middle.
From good round thread bleached linen
cut pieces for the sides quarter of an
inch larger all around than the boards
and in lead pencil draw a design similar
to the one shown, which is to be en-
broidared in pretty shades of pink, green
and brown--Dink for the flowers, green
for the leaves and brown for the stems.
For the top cut a piece of linen AND
mark scroll circle about the opening al
the center, embroidar it and then attach
it fast to the board with glue.
The inside of the box and lid may be
lined with thin oil or white enamel cloth
glued around the edges to each fiat sur
face and for the convenience of removing
accumulated hair, hinge the lid to the
boz at two corners with thread. ovel

SUGAR PLANTERS HELPLESS.
Lack Means to Harvest and Trans
port Their Crops.

Havana, Dec. Liza Lucha, re-
ferring editorially to protracted meet
ing being held by sugar planters of the
island, presided over by the Marquis de
Apestegui, to devise ways and means Of
gathering cane and beginning the work
Of grinding, says it will be impossible
to accomplish anything unless the gov
eminent goes to the assistance of the
planters with the necessary funds,
about $500, 900.
The planters throughout the island,
La Lucha says, lack every means re-
CURED either to harvest cane or to
transport the crops to points of ship
ment. The country is destitute of oxen,
and even IL they were obtainable, the
planters, with the possible exception of
a dozen in the provinces Of Santa Clara
and Matanzas, have neither money nor
credit to purchase them. The oxen
from numerous estates We're donated
to the government by the owners, and
have been employed since the COM
mencement of the war in transporting
supplies for the troops.
