strategy of a spendthrift.

A good story 10 told of a young man
who, besides being Of the spendthrift
order, Is a mimic and can initiate his
fathers voice to nicely. Not long ago
the young man wanted, without delay,
some money to pay bill, and he knew
that his father would treat his request
with cold contempt. Waiting till he
knew that his father would be away he
went to the telephone and rang up the
office, calling for the cashier. The cash.
Ter was forthcoming, and when he was
at the other end the young man initial
ed his sire's voice:
Il say, Blank, If that scapegoat son
of mine comes around and asks foI
500, don't give it to him. Only give
him $50"
The cashier promised that he would
fulfill the commands. Not long after
the son called at the office and demand
ed 500. He was refused by the con-
scientious cashier, and, apparently in
anger, the young man contented him
self with the $50. When the old man
reached the office there was a scene.

Ants on Trees.

Wherever ants abound upon trees
and plants, 1t shows that the trees are
infested with Aphis plant lice. which
are doing the harm to the plant. These
plant lice suck the juices of the plant,
and secrete a sweet substance, which
Is much liked by the ants, who go
among them gathering up this sweet
substance, which Is often called honey
dew, as, where trees are very thickly
infested with the Aphis. 1t often drops
from the trees In such quantities as TO
appear like dew under them These
Aphis being attended by the ants are
often called the ants cows as they
are known to carry the Aphis from
plant to plant, as one might move their
cows to fresh pastures.
The destroying of the ants will not
help the trees, but II the Aphis are
destroyed by spraying with Kerosene
emulsion or a strong infusion of tobac-
co the ants will leave also.

A certain young railroad man who
has charge of department in the au-
diting branch of his company's bust
ness had occasion recently to dictate a
letter to the head of a corresponding
department of another road. There
was point in dispute between the two
railroads involving money and this
young official had taken n stubborn
ground that the other official was to-
tally at fault and advanced what
seemed to him unanswerable argu-
ments to prove it. A short time after
he had forwarded the letter he re-
ceiyed n proposition from headquar-
tiers of the other railroads which he ac-
cepted. and within few days he be-
came the head of the department with
which he had been In dispute. The
first letter he found on file ready to be
answered was his own on the point in
question. There was only one thing to
do. He Immediately dictated an an
swer to his own letter, refuting and re-
pudiating its argument, and wound up
by heated insinuation that the writer
of 1t was an unmltigated donkey. OF
course, the letter was addressed to him
self and signed by himself, but in his
enthusiasm for the interests of his new
employer he did not mind little thing
like that-Chicago News.

Victor Cherbuliez, of the French
Academy, who has died at the age of
20, has sometimes been called the
French Anthony Trollope; but except
In fertility of production there was
nothing in common between them.
Cherbuliez wrote like a scholar and a
gentleman. but his novels were often
dull, and Of late years he had been to-
tally eclipsed by M. Anatole France.
His critical writings were of great
merit, for he had the advantage, I'm,
common In a literary Frenchman, of
knowing several languages besides his
own. He knew English and German
literature thoroughly and his sympa-
thies were proportionately wide.
A well-known English publisher, In
the course Of a conversation, has Incl
dentally revealed the portentous fact
that no fewer than ZOO novels on the

find the total annual output Of manu-
script fiction 1t is happily not necessa-
ry to multiply this number by that of
the existing publishing houses, since a
vast proportion Of such manuscripts,
of course, "go the rounds from one
unapprcciative firm to another. But
even when all due allowance has been
made on this score, ample evidence
remains of waste Of time and energy
in the production Of fiction which is
depressing to contemplate. OF the an
nual 1900 works submitted to the par
ticular firm In question, only about
half dozen, it appears, gain accept

Colonial Children at Table.

In little book, printed in America
about the time of the Revolution, and
entitled "A Pretty Little Pocket Book"
there are given number of rules for
the behavior of children at the table.
which Miss Earle quotes in her Home
Life in Colonial Days"
They We're MOTTO seat themselves at
the table until after the blessing had
been asked, and their parents told them
to be seated.
They were never TO ask for anything
on the table; never to speak unless
spoken to; always to break the bread
not to bite into n whole slice; never
to take salt except with clean knife
there was one common saltcellarl: and
not to throw bones under the table.
One rule reads; Hold not thy knife
upright, but sloping; lay 1t down at
right hand of the plate, with end of
blade on the plate" Another, Look
not earnestly at any other person that
Is eating" When children had eaten
all that had been given them, If they
were moderately satisfied" they We're
told to leave at once the table and
room.
In many households the children
were not allowed to sit at the table, but
were compelled to stand by the side OF
the table during the entire meal. Il

CHANGED HER BRIDEoRooMs.

While Eloping with One She Found
the Other.
There Is Detroiter who was prin-
cipal in one Of the queerest elopements
on record, declares the Free Press of
that city. He was at a resort in the
upper lake regions. Among the guests
was a beautiful girl from the South,
educated in convent and unsophisti-
Gated as to the ways Of the world. The
Detroiter found her one day vainly try
Ing to cast fly and taught her the
trick. 1t took time; he did not believe
in crowding her education, and they be-
came very friendly. A natural result
followed, and when he presented his
case to her father the old gentleman,
metaphorically speaking, tore up the
sod. His daughter was engaged, this
new lover knew it, and If he didn't drop
the matter just where 1t was he would
either be thrown into the lake or
pumped full of lead.
The maiden thought good deal Of
the man she had left behind, but the
new infatuation was stronger, so an
elopement was planned When they
went stealthily TO the boathouse at
night every craft was securely locked
up except an Indian canoe. He was not
an artist In propelllng such boat, but
they sailed" away. They kept close to
the shore, but he grew overconfident,
leaned suddenly toward her to renew
some of his vows, and over they went.
He managed to keep her atioat and
shouted SO Justify that the guide at a
nearby camp rowed to the rescue.
She was soon slowed away beneath
blankets, and he made the acquaint-
ance OF Il lot of SoutherneIs who had
/ just arrived for hunting and fishing.
He told his story, all were sympathetic
and a messenger was hurried Off into
the country for parson, as it was
thought best to put an insuperable bar

in Judge David Davis court in the Nc
Lean county circuit. During the prog
ress of the case Mr.. Lincoln, who had
come up from Springfield the night be-
fore. entered the courtroom and stood
before the big stove in one corner of
the room to warm himself. Several
lawyers and acquaintance at once
gathered around Mr.. Lincoln, and he
began telling stories in low voice.
Judge Davis finally arose. stretched
himself and in n drawing voice said:
"'See here. now, Lincoln, either you
will have to quit telling stories. or
will have to adjourn court
"'All right judge replied Mr.. Lin
coin. I've got business down the
street, so I'll GO
"Mr. Lincoln was the most magnetic,

have said he was homely, but when he
was speaking I've seen his face light
up with such brilliant expression
that he looked positively handsome. -

DR.. j. b. Thomas during his connec-

had an experience which was unprece-

In his ward woman who had a very
defective heart. DIR. Thomas found
her much improved one morning and
stopped at her bedside to congratulate
her upon her condition. The woman
said that her condition was so much
better that she thought she could get
up and leave the institution. Having
his stethoscope with him, the doctor
bent over the patient to hear the pulsa-
lions of the heart. They were exceed
ingly irregular, and for some seconds
he counted them.
Suddenly there was pause. and he
waited for the recurring beat. Maybe
three seconds elapsed, and still there
was no sound.
He looked up at her face in time to
see the expression of death settling
over the features. The pupils of the
eyes dllated and swelled as he watched
them, and the skin assumed peculiar
notified appearance.
She whispered "My God! What
does this mean?" For second the
automatic action of the respiratory Or
gans continued, and there were con-
vulsiye twitchings of the facial mus

Grace Darling.

1t is brave thing to risk ones life
to save that of another-and that is
what a young girl, Grace Darling, did,
many years ago.
Grace Darllngs father was a light
house keeper and kept the FolkstOne
light, ON one of the Farne Islands, off
he coast of England.
One night severe storm drove a YES
rel on the rocks of one of these Islands
and almost cut it to pieces.
The poor sailors, nine In number,
chung to the ship and made a desperate
fight for their lives, all through the
hight. Towards morning, when they
were all but exhausted, they saw lit
tie boat coming to them from the shore,
tossing like shell on the angry waves.
TO their surprise they saw young girl
alone in the boat coming to their res
cue. With great skill she guided her
boat to the wrecked ship and was able
NJ carry the sailors, in safety, back to
her fathers lighthouse; for it was the
lightkeeper's young daughter who had
done this brave deed.
Grace Darling's noble act was soon
known throughout England, and nu-
merous letters of congratulation and
many beautiful medals We're sent her.
But our young heroine was true girl
and said, 'she had only done her duty"
and that she was glad she HAD been
taught to row and swim and was so
strong and fearless on the water.
If any of our young people were at
the Worlds Fair In Chicago, few
years ago. you probably saw the very
boat that Grace Darling rowed that
morning through the storm.
