sion of dust in the seed store.
A number Of young girls and two men

men smashed the windows and in that
way rescued the girls.

HUMAN PO0DLEs
Tolerated by Husbands Who Do Not
Like to Be Bored.

Like to Be Bored.
Washington Post.
Poodle is the name given on wonder side
of the water to what is sometimes here
described as the tame cat of an estab-
lfShment-that is, the only recognized adj
mlrer of the lady of the house, whose
devotion to her is tolerated alike by hus-
band and by society because it is known
to be harmless and platonic. 1t is a GUS
tom which has been imported into Eng
land from the continent where the ad-
mlrer In question is known as the "ca-
vahere servente," and today in Great
Britain, as everywhere on the mainland
of Europe, all women with any preten-
sion to fashion and to society have their
human poodles.
Poodles of this kind seldom, if ever. fig
ure in the divorce court. The women re-
gard them as all very well to fetch and
carry for them, to act as their escort
to entertain them, to give them flowers
etc, but they would never dream of COM
promising themselves for the sake Of a.
poodle The poodle is usually a single
man, with enough money to enable him
to live a life Of leisure. His poodledom
furnishes him with nice house, where he
feels at home, and where he can go with
out any formal invitation, no matter
whether 1t Is in town or in the country
Single men get dreadful tired of men,
society and find great relief in that of a
pretty, brilliant, witty woman.
Besides, it is so very convenient for
the husband. The poodle saves him no
end of trouble, acts as his wife's escort
everywhere and serves as a sort Of light
ming conductor for all Ill humors. In
fact today poodledom has become such
recognized social institution in Europe
that 1t is only the evil-minded and the
people without any experience Of the
world who see any harm in it,
Nothing is more amusing than to watch
the attitude of the husband toward the
wife's poodle. His manner is character
lied by a sort of mingled condescension,
patronage, just a touch of contempt, and
dash of gratitude. His pride would be
hurt were he to see the young woman
bearing his name without all those little
attentions Of which a fashionable woman
stands in need, and yet which he would
consider a bore If obliged himself to
furnish them.

Every day when there is no rain he is

is full he begins again, or winds the
strand off upon another reel. of larger

sometimes one of the tunes the American
bands play on the plaza, and again the
songs Of his home. u e

architecture goes, but it is his home and
he is happy there with his family and
his guitar. Crispo is married and he has
children about him that are as straight
as children grow. AT night they listen
to his songs, as he twangs his guitar and
sings to them in thesTala1og tongue about

where the work is done and where the
spools are, for the first process. Time
and practice are needed to learn the
knack of keeping the reel going around
by simple twist of the wrist. The
operator backs slowly. away as the
strands grow in length, and when he
has gone as far as he deems necessary
he begins to wind up all the cord that
he has spun.
For the next operation twelve spools of
this cord and another machine are used.
The machine has twelve cranks at one
end and two on the other When +he
strands are laid, If the rope Is to be a
long one, supports are erected about fifty
feet apart. These are to keep the strands
from twisting and tangling as thew are
spun about Two men stand at the upper
end Of the walk and face the man who is
turning the twelve strands. Each has
two cone-shaped pieces Of wood in his
hands, and in these cones are six groves,
through which the strands run. The
operator at the strand end turns his
wheel to the right and the men at the
other end revise the operation. The
strands begin to twist and grow smaller
and harder, and at last the two men with
the cones start with their toes. In front
are twelve Strands Behind the advanc-
ing operators are two. IT is slow walk
work to keep the strands whirling and
the machinery going until the two ropes
are complete. When. all is done the fin
ished object Is a rope the size of a

1t was lunch time in Exchange place

the little lunch carts were doing rush
Ing business. From noon until 2 p. m.
the block between New and Broad streets
is given up to the carts and. their small
customers. Scores of boys of all ages
and sizes were pouring in from all de
rect1ons, until a stranger would suppose
that every messenger and office boy in
the city must surely be there. The boys
had but one object in view and that waA
to appease an appetite such as only grow
ing boys and maybe ostriches have. A
dozen or more little carts were doing q
trade that would make q restaurant prop
rietor envious Most of the carts carried
but a single article and consequently
there were no menu cards or things of
that sort. In fact, there was no giving
OF orders. The boys simply crowded
around the carts and exchanged their
pennies for the good things passed over to
them.
The average boy spent about II cents
for his lunch as follows: Two frankfurt
ter sandwiches, cents; half a pie,
cents; glass of milk, cents, an a "Hck'

Yes, I think 1t would confirmed the

GERMANY'S NEUTRALITY,
There Seems Little Danger of 1t Re-

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-The Neuste Mach
richten, in the course Of an article evil
IDENTIFY inspired, says:
Germany has no intention of playing
into the hands Of France by intervening
in the Transvaal. She intends to pursue
a course Of absolute neutrality"
Replying to the anti-Semitic, pan-Ger-
manic outcry against the emperor's ex-
pected visit to England, the Neuste Mach
richten remarks:
Although Germans individually may
disapprove of England's policy, the &C
lions of the emperor must be dictated by
Gernpanys interests, which do not allow
her unnecessarily to arouse bad feeling IN
England. 1t would be a great mistake to
prejudice German interests in South
Africa by one-sided attitude, in view
of the future reorganization Of the pol
itical situation there. Moreover, the
greatest sea power and the greatest land
power have every reason to cooperate in
union and harmony"
