Mileage Ticket Was Cancelled.

The Northern Pacific railroad. in an.
swerinR W. B. Turner's claim for dam

under false coiors.
The railroad alleges that It had an adj

should be issued only to persons Connected
with Storey q Co. or the Seattle Times a.
mileage ticket was issued to Turner on the
belief that he was so connected. but It was
subsequently learned that he was q trav.
cling salesman, representing q Freeport,
ILL.,, hrm. An order was then issued to
cancel the ticket. Mr.. Turner was re-
Quested, the company says. to leave the
train at Centralia. He refused and was
led on, but not removed forcibly.

dolls. At 6 o'clock Mr.. Murray and
Eddie came home. When they were
seated at the table Mrs. Murray ran
to Tessie's playhouse to call her to- sup
per. To her great surprise the play
house was all in confusion, but no lit
tie girl was to be seen. She ran from
room TO room calling her. Receiving no
answer, she grew alarmed and startled
her husband and son by running sud
denly into the dining room.
What's the matter?" they asked.
"Oh, I can't find Tessie anywhere" >"
she answered. Il m afraid she has gone
to the pond and been drowned or some
thing else. Oh, dear, dear,"
Surely Tessie wouldn't have gone'
said Mr.. Murray. Why do you think
that?"
Then Mrs. Murray told how badly
Tessie had felt when she was refused.
Eddie assured his mother that he had
not seen Tessie at all at the pond.
Mrs. Murray suggested forming a
search party, but her husband said
they must search the house first. So,
forgetting supper and all else but their
dear Tessie, they went from room to
room, looking in every corner and
crevice, calling their dear one then
listening for reply. Just as they were
examining one of the bedrooms upstairs
shrek rose on the air. 1t was Tessie's s
voice and it came from the spare room
What could have happened? Filled
with the greatest anxiety, and .hurrying
lest a moment lost should prove fatal
they reached the door and threw it
open A little figure sprang from the
floor
''Oh, mammal" it cried. rushing into
Mrs. Murray's arms. I've had the aW-
fullest dream" Mamma clasped her
pet to her breast with a silent but
heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving. Tes-
sic told them how she had gone up to
this room to cry and had cried herself
to sleep. She dreamed that she had
disobeyed mamma and had gone down
to the pond. There she had a fine time
skating.
All OF sudden every one disappeared
and she was left alone on the pond
She cried, but no one came to her. She
ran off the ice, and Immediately the
pond became a great giant. You have
disobeyed your mother" it said "and
you must be punished"

she had finished her story, che was

THE TALK OF THE TREES.

THINK" said Little Nell, that
everything that lives has a Ian
guage of its own-even the flowers
and the trees, and now if you will
listen 1 will tell you a short story
about some proud young, jealous trees
Away off in the country there is a
group of trees, and this is what they
said to a poor old broken-down hollow
tree:
IF only a woodman would come
along and take you homely old shriv-
eled up thing away! You are really
disgusting.
But little thought these hateful
young trees what help this old dis
gusting thing as they called it would
some day be to any one. Days and
weeks passed by in the same dismal
way for this old hollow tree.
But one dark dreary night a little
wandering child came by shivering
with the cold. She looked up at these
tall jealous trees and said to herself,
What ugly straight trees these are
Then finally she glanced around and
saw the old tree and said, oh, what a
1oYely tree and then she ran to 1t for
shelter.
THE young trees were so Jealous
afterward that they never said any
thing to the old tree again.

SING HOP BREAKS A COASTING RECORD

X ING HOP is IL years old. He goes
to a Chinese school and. in some
way, has made the acquaintance
# little Frank Kelly, who is full
OF fun, but does not care so much
for study as he ought. Frank knows
more about what is going on in San
Francisco than is known by half the
men. Among his possessions is a
coaster which he made, with the
help of Tim Rafferty,, out of the boards
in packing box and four round pieces
Of wood that he picked up and used for

back with a barrel staVe which he
pOkes under the front Of the wheels
and grips with all his strength-when
he wishes to go slower than lightning
which is not often.
Frank Kelly and Tim Rafferty, have

but it is much to get on the Roll as
may be seen by the comparatively small
number enrolled. The answers to the

could stand such a shock and come out

battering ram. A Chinese laundry
mans horse that sees this part of the
scene runs away in fright: The cur

just enough old cabbage leaves in the
