And he accepted the invitation. Mrs.
Featherington was never so solictous in
her life for the ease and comfort of guest
as she was of Lord Stillwater's. 1t was
"my lord this" and "my lord that" during
the whole course of the tea. Between bits
OF more general conversation she would say,
"My lord, let me call the maid to serve you
with more of the salad?" and Won't you
allow me, my lord, to have your glass
fileed?" Every request Mrs. Featherngton
made was preceded or followed by "my

Uncle and nephew soon began paying dill

unknown to the other. Miss Alison was to
depart for her city home few days ago.
As the time drew near for her expected de-

Mr. Suydam Kells called to see Miss Alison,
He also pressed his suit very diligently, and
likewise proposed for the hand Of the young
woman. He was gratified beyond measure
to find his suit perfectly successful. Miss
Alison did not accept this particular suitor
without some hesitation, however. AS the
pastor of the Methodist church in Claverack
was leaving the edifce after service on the
following evening and the sexton was turn

proved to be H. Suydam Kells aud Miss

their desire to marry at once, and Mr.. Cox

TO WATCH FOR TRUANTS.
CHIEF GLASS HAS SUGGESTED
REFoRM
He Thinks That the Police Department
Can Be Of Service to the Schools
by Keeping Trace Of Truants

Chief of Police Glass has offered an excel
lent suggestion to Superintendent of City
Schools j. A. Foshay. In the city of New
York the police department has co-operated
with the public schools by aiding them in
keeping trace of boys who are absent from
schools and the chief suggests a similar CO.
operation in Los Angeles. The idea, as sug-
gested by Chief Glass is to have the police
patrolmen keep a special lookout for boys
between and l6 years of age, who may be
about the streets during school hours. The
officers will require the boys to give their
names and addresses, and tell their reasons
for being out of school. This will prevent
boys from playing truant and enable the
school officials to ascertain exactly the char
acter of the many boys by knowing how Of
ten they have good excuses to remain away
from school.
Chief Glass calls attention to the fact that
much of the petty crime and amateur bur-
glaries are committed by boys between the
ages of IA and l6 years of age and it will be of
great service to both the school as we'll as
the police departments to have records kept
of the boys who have been wandering about
the streets without good cause. The sug-
gestion is made that the matter be brought
to the attention of the school directors.

A more ridiculous method of curing a
man who Is suffering from nervous exhaus-
ton and is threatened with nervous pros
tration could not be well conceived. A man
who has overworked does not need more
work, but less work and more rest. The
man who has lost his appetite needs some
thing to restore it, The man whose nerves
are shattered needs something to tone and
strengthen them. Get the nerves right and
sound, and refreshing sleep will follow A
man who sleeps we'll and eats we'll, and
digests and assimilates his food will not
remain ILL.,
In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery goes to bed rock-to
first causes. It creates a hearty appetite;
it makes the digestion and assimilation
perfect; It invigorates the liver; it purifes
the blood and fills it with the life-aiviug
elements of the food. 1t builds up new

Saved the Train With Red Petticoat

Philadelphia, Pa. j His name is "Ned"
Anthony, and he is only 10 years old, but
he is hero "Ned" did not think he was
doing q heroic act in swinging his sisters
red petticoat to stop a train, but the four
score passengers realized it when, with
blanched faces, they saw the disaster they
had escaped. The train which 'Ned" An
thony saved was made up of cars Of the
New York and Susquehanna railroad. The
line is built along the mountain side, and
there is sheer fall of nearly hundred
feet to the Delaware river at the point
where the boy tagged the train. Among
the passengers were the Centenary collegiate
institute football team from Hackettstown.
The lads were singing and dancing in the
baggage car when the train stopped so sud-
denly that they were piled up in heap at
one end of the car. The passengers jumped
through doors and windows, and by the side
of the track they found a l0-year-old boy
with red petticoat. He had tagged the
train. There was no need to question the
boy. Not twenty-five yards in front of the
engine lay great rock on the rails, weigh
ing probably two tons, which had tumbled
down from the mountain. Owing to curve
the engine driver could not have seen the
obstruction in time to stop the train, which
would have gone crashing down into the
river, a hundred feet below.
Every one ran forward to view the OBJ
struction and help remove it.. 1t required
the strength of four men and team to roll
the rock off the rails. Some one suggested
a subscription for the boy, and shower
of silver and banknotes fell into the hat,
but the boy could not be seen. Finally he
was found hiding on the tender of the en-
gine. He was too modest to listen to the
praises that were heaped upon him. 1t was
only after considerable persuasion that he
could be induced to take the money. With
breathless interest the passengers listened
to the boys story. He said he lived in the
valley, and was strolling along the railroad
track, when suddenly he heard great crash.
Running around the curve he saw that big
rock had fallen on the track. There are only
two trains day on the road, and he knew
that one would soon be due. He had seen
the brakemen swing red flag to stop the
train, and happened to think of his sisters
red petticoat. He ran home as fast as he
could, got the garment and dashed back just
in time.-New York Herald.

CUBAN CIGAR MAKERS
Better Paid and Cared for Than Other
Glasses Of Workingmen

"It is an accepted fact in the cigar trade,
said leading cigar manufacturer in New
York to the writer recently, that nobody
but Cubans can make Havana cigars, and as
= consequence the 1900 or 1900 Cuban cigar
makers in New York are better paid and
cared for than any other workmen, They
have a trade union of their own, Ell Grimio
de Tabacquerro, which is all powerful in the
matter of privileges and pay, and through its
connection with similar organizations in
Havana, Key West and Tampa, the prin-
cipal points at which Havana cigars are
made, $an effecutally control the supply and
prevent the overstocking of the market.
ut is poor week in which an average
cigarmaker cannot earn 1926, and particularly
fast workmen make $35 or more. The work
room in one of the many large Cuban cigar
factories is one of the most curious places
that stranger to such surroundings can
visit. Here are about $50 dark-faced men,
each with cigar in his mouth, busily en-
gagged in manipulating the tobacco.
"On high stool in the center of the room
Is perched a man with pile of newspapers
by his side, who is reading in Spanish in a
voice sufficiently loud to be heard by every

Cuba. Previous to the war with Spain the
Spanish papers published in this city, as
well az the principal journals of Havana,
were mostly read But for several months
past only the New York daily papers were

read. The reader is employed by the firm
and in his way is one OF the most important
men in the factory. The Cuban workmen
have particularly active minds, which must
be kept occupied, especially when at the
bench. If it was not for the reader they
would talk among themselves, and it is a
peculiarity of the Cuban that he cannot
work and talk at the same time, as it is
absolutely necessary for him to gesticulate
when talking, Their work is entirely me-
chanical, and hence the employment Of the
reader to prevent them from talking.
"The Cuban cigarmaker Is a constant
smoker, and it is only at long intervals that
he Is found without cigar in his mouth.
Among his most cherished privileges is that

A Telephone Newspaper

I've seen, or rather heard, the much

though they claim that it returns dividend

that it is being maintained as an advertise

is not to be questioned, and it attracts more
attention than anything else to the place.
All the leading hotels take in the paper, as
they express it, and make great point of
giving it free with the rooms.
"The apparatus in my room consisted of a
curved steel strap to go over the head with
a very small ear piece at each end. It was

''The Cuban cigar-maker is clannish in his
habits, and refuses to have anything to do
with other cigar-makers. He prefers to
fight his battles alone. The great center of
the Havana cigar industry in New York is
about Maiden Lane and Pearl street. In
the peighborhood are situated number of
restaurants which make a speciality of pre-
pairing food, after the Spanish and Cuban
methods, and in THESE places at the dinner
