Boston boy who got into the habit of
teasing his mother for pennies until at
last she said to him: Now, Willie, l
don't like TO give you pennies. If you
want money, you should go to work
and earn it,
The boy remained thoughtful for
some time. Then within Il few days
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty OF pennies. She wondered 4
bit where he got them, but did not
question him. But one summer day
she noticed that some sort of Il hula
baloo was going on in the back yard.
Looking out, she saw Willie surround
ed by Il mob of boys who were yelling
with delight. She went down into the
yard TO see what was going on, and as
she passed out she saw stuck up on the
back wall of the house this notice,
quite neatly printed out with pen

Some idea of the fearful storms on
the Black sea can be gained from the
picture of the ice-covered ship Ingor,
recently wrecked in the bay of Novo-
rossisk. The harbor appears to be a
veritable haven Of rest, says a CORE
spondent, but wind-storms of terrific
violence sweep over it in winter time,
and when accompanied by rain or
snow, woe betide the unhappy vessel
that hopes to find shelter within the
bar. When the Ingor vas anchored in
Novorossisk bay n Of these periodi-
cal storms descended. The wind was
SO strong that no n could walk on
deck, and when the snow fell it froze
immediately-decks, masts, rigging,
ropes and spars were covered with ice.
The very spray froze as it dashed
against the sides Of the ship, making
the vessel look more like an iceberg
than anything else. The passengers
and crew were all saved the mex morn
ing, but the chief officer died later from
the effects Of the exposure.-New York

Search Fails to Reveal Any Trace Of
Greeley Citizen.

Greeley, Colo, June 11-W. II.
left his home early Saturday morning
end has not yet been found. Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock there was held in
the court house a meeting of the citi-
zens and a systematic organization Of
squads was made and each party was
assigned to certain outlying districts,
where a thorough search was kept up
all the day until late last night. but it
failed to reveal any trace Of the miss
ing man. Today the search still contin-
ues.
No reasons have been given for the
mans strange disappearance. From
information received from the missing
mans wife it was learned that Mr..
Brockaway was in the habit of getting
up about 4 o'clock every morning and
did so Saturday morning. She says she
noticed nothing peculiar about her hus-
band, excepting that he took his watch
from his pocket and placed it or the
IdDle, SOlleInlnS lie ndu never lone ne
fore. He then left the house. When
breakfast was prepared the husband
failed to make his appearance, and it
was learned that the wife grew anxious
and an alarm was given. Friends and
neighbors searched the nearby premis-
es, but to no avail. Mrs. Brockaway is
in a hysterical condition, and fears that
her husband has been drowned in the
Cache-la-Pourdre river. If such is the
case it will be almost impossible to
find the body for some time, owing to
the high water. Mrs. Brockaway has
offered a reward of $50 for information
leading up to the whereabouts of her
husband.

NAPOLEON'S PIRACY.

House as His Castle.

Even at st. Helena He Regarded His
House as His Castle.
In the second installment of extracts
from the unpublished diaries kept at
st. Helena by Napoleon's physician,
DR.. O'Meara, there appears in the
March Century a characteristic anec-
dote of the dethroned emperor's insis-
tence on his right to regard his house
as his castle. Took a drive with N.
In his carriage. Told him what Sir
Thomas Reade told me, viz, that the
Russian commissioner did not take any
part In the letter written officially to
the governor to see him. That 1t was
only the French and Austrian commits
sioners who had applied; that the Rus
sian would be very proud Of being In
troduced to him, not in any official ca
pacity, in fact In any manner which
would not constraip him. He appeared
surprised at this. and said that he had
been told that the Austrian and Rus
sian had applied, and not the French
man. He made me repeat 1t to him
again. He said that they, the two
who had applied, had taken their
measures very badly II they wanted to
be presented to him. That all the
powers OF Europe could not force him
to receive them. at Is true" said he,
"they can break open the door or level
the house down, and then find me
where where? If they are
not satisfied with the governors re-
port that l am here. cannot he cause
them to come up when l am walking
in the garden? They can see me from
the other side of the ditch walking, If
they do not credit this jailer Of a gov
ernor, this chief Of spies" He then
remarked what %coglioneria (nonsense)
It was to send such a set out without
any official authority, ~unrecognized
ever by the governor, and again said
that no powers should force him to
see them against his will; that two
millions Of men In arms should not
make him do 1t. l told him that the
Russian was a man of talent, and very
much esteemed by those who knew
him.

YOUR A
Will Remove the Loose Dandruf Scales
But 1t Won't Cure Dandruf.

If your hair Is brittle and thinning,
you have dandruff. The merely scour-
ing Of the scalp of the loose scales,
won't cure dandruff; because dandruff
is nothing but scales OF scalp being
thrown up by a pestiferous little germ
in burrowing its way to the root Of the
hair where 1t saps the vitality, causing
falling hair and, In time, badness. Now
you can't stop dandruff, nor falling
hair, nor prevent badness unless you
destroy that germ; and the only prepar-
alton that can do it is the new scientific
discovery, Newbro's Herpicide. In fact
no other hair preparation claims to kill
the dandruff germ-all Of them will
clean the scalp; soap and water will do
that, but only Newbro's Herpicide
gets at the root of the trouble and kills
the dandruff germ.
