"The government chronological bureau
has gone to extraordinary pains to pre-
serve a complete record of the vanish

the department of the interior recently.
'Take the Apaches, for instance. In
addition to an enormous collection of
costumes, weapons, implements, deco
rations and all the articles used in their
daily life the bureau has lately added
two souvenirs of unique interest. ABB ut

Last spring the same dances were

AFRAID TO BE AFRAID.
A Situation in Which 1t Was Dan.
gerous to Show the Slight
est FQaP

There are situations in which timid
man cannot, out of consideration for
his own safety, show the slightest fear.
A writer describes such situation on
board ship which was transporting a
great number of coolies across the
ocean, many of them desperate. and
brutal men.
One day at luncheon in the saloon the
passenger heard horrible yells and
shouts of eta! tai" CA fight! tightly
''Hullo!" the captain said. 'Another
jolly row below! Better stay where you
are. You'll find a loaded revolver in my
room if anyone attempts to modest
you.'
Lighting his pipe and calling his dog,
a fierce-looking English bull, the cap
tain went on deck to see what was the
matter. The coolies were fighting saw
agely; broken bowls and pieces of fire.
wood were flying about, and several of
the men had ugly-looking knives drawn.
Into the midst of them walked the cap
tain, knocking first one and then an
other aside.
One fearful-looking coolie aimed a
blow at him with broken basin, but
before the blow could descend the dog
brought the man down on his back and
held him there. The two principal Of
tenders were caught, their heads
banged together until the fight was out
of them and an explanation asked. Ev-
erybody wanted to talk at once, but the
captain held up his hand till there was
silence, and then called one man after
another and heard each through an in
terpreter.
The row turned out to have been
caused by, man trying to light his
pipe at an opium smokers lamp. The
most trivial thing often caused the
worst fight. After all was over the pas
senger said to the captain: "Are you
not afraid of these people?"
Eyes, said the captain, Ito tell the
truth, am. But to show the least fear
among such a crowd as that, or to lose
my temper, might lead to my death On
the spot. I cannot afford to show that
I am afraid. But I am getting used to
it."-Chambers' Journal.

GLOVES"
Reginald Jones-Brown-Smith are COM
ing out to luncheon tomorrow, and
what am going to do?"
II should Think he responded, with
a philosophic smile, that when these
people hitch their various names to-
gether' in that way, linked sausage
would be the most correct and consist
ent edible to place before them.'
Linked sausage, indeed!" she said,
with emphasis; perhaps you think
you can get around your forgetfalness
with joke, but can tell you it's no
joke. I am always the victim of your
negligence, and you think that every
thing is satisfactorily settled when you
come out with your fimsy excuse-'I
forgot it, I'd like t., know where we'd
be if were to forget all the time?"
''We'd be great deal worse off, my
dear, because you never forget, and to
that fact I attribute all the prosperity
that we now enjoy. If you had forgot
ten, for instance, to follow up the adj
vertisement that offered three pairs of
one dollar and quarter gloves for two
dollars, should have to give you one
dollar and seventy-five cents. You have
saved me that amount-one dollar and
seventy-tive cents-on your glove deal,
and think I can now afford to buy
myself a pound of tobacco costing that
amount. You see, you didn't forget
my wants in your beautiful economy.
You said to yourself: That dear, good
for-nothing husband of mine is running
short on tobacco, and I'll just save him
enough money on this glove purchase
to- lay in a stock. Il wish you had pur-
chased about 30 pairs.''
why, dear?" she asked, with a half
satisfied, inquiring gaze.
''WhY,. because then you would have
saved me twenty-one dollars and half,
and would be in position to lay in a
much-needed topcoat.''
''You probably forget, with your
usual genius for forgetting, that
haven't had new hat this season.
''But there's one thing I'll never for
get, if live to be a hundred" he said,
trying to- turn the subject from the
lat.\
Such a statement from you is at
Least encouraging, and I am burning
with curiosity to know what it is that
you'll never forget?'

magnetized her school.
Not perfect is this maiden who would rule

But she must know intuitively urchin ways

Must frown effectively at times to supple

Though these may be real angels that her
duty to her brings,
They're in the chrysalis al yet and have
not sprouted wings.
They change from good to variable or vio-
lent in a trice,
Though hearts be warm and level, manners
are not always nice:
Their faces wrinkle readily to quicker, pout
or sheer,
And instantly when chided pump they up
the facile tear;
Her eyes must be like gimlets gagged to
puncture false pretense,
And back Of them brain well stocked with
kindly common sense.
In serious emergencies, when some are
darkly bad,
She may be called to shin gle an erratic lass
or lad,
Though this Of course is drastic and the
very last extreme
For little angels who are not 30 heavenly

Sometimes a little anarchist his parents do
not rule
Must have 1.-The Rogue's March" played on

But mostly rules she all her realm by

Thus placing kindness and calm all other
things above;
She reaches minds through little hearts
whose portals open wide
To one who wins them to her way, wise,
magnetic guide;
The primary instructor lays the corner

Molds men from slippery urchins with most
stubborn souls and wills
And from her fount Of knowledge every lit

G HE had been on shopping tour

seemed very happy when she joined
her husband on the home-bound even

seated she said, with great vivacity:
II struck great bargain in gloves to-
day. Now, what do you think, I got
three pairs of dollar and quarter
gloves for two dollars. can't undo
the parcel here, but when we get home
I'll show them to you, and you'll just
open your eyes,
The husband smiled at her girlish
enthusiasm, when she suddenly asked:
did you order the quail to be sent
out from the market?'
"Great Scott!" he replied, in sort
of historical confusion, II forgot all
about it,
She almost glared at him in her sud-
den chagrin and disappointment.
