LITTLE BLACK IMps.

Back in Berlin the name of Max
Hertzer had been of some account. He
was, to begin with. Hertzer, which
meant much. AS a matter of course,
ne was an oh1cer in the army-his sis
tiers had starved themselves for his
commission and maintenance-and he
was handsome, even for German off,
cor. Unfortunately for him, he sang
the love songs of his country, and they
are quite the most moving songs in
the world. They move the singers as
well as the listeners. They moved
Hertxer. and on one night in particu-
lar when he was hidden to the house
OF certain titled lady he was so lifted
out OF himself by the charm of his
music that he proposed to an American
girl who was present, and to his start
led dismay. he was accepted.
1t was misfortune, for he was not
In sympathy with the American point
Of view, he did not like the insistence
and intellectual arrogance of Ameri-
can women, and he had quite made up
his mind to marry a senseless and we'll
born fraulein who did neat work and
went to kaffee klatsches. He almost
loved her, she was so nondescript. and
would be well content to make harm
less background of herself for his bene
6t. Moreover, in spite of all his vanity.
he was rather soft-hearted, and it hurt
him to think how many tears would
bedew those soft blue eyes when she
heard Of his engagement to the Ameri
can girl.
The American girl had. moreover,
been known to do things which were
shocking. She had gone shopping
about the streets of Berlin unaccom-
panied, she had once used slang before
4 Weimar professor of philosophy, and
she had been heard to say that she did
not like the share of the emperor's
nose. She was not known to be rich
even, which is the only excuse that an
American girl has for living, and 1t
was said she made some serious mis-
takes in her Interpretation Of the Fifth
Symphony.
Yet he married her And they went

sadly. Really, you know, it is all over
with poor Max"
They felt that he was as good as
dead.
1t was dull in America. Well, New
York wasn't so bad, perhaps, but the
other towns-bah! There wasn't q
true city among them. 1t didn't count

had little summer house built in the
yard back Of his house where they
lived, and smoked his pipe there and
dreamed Of Berlin. Also he planted
some flowers and come little trees. He
liked these and paid much attention
to them. He studied good deal
military tactics and botany. But he
neglected to provide the daily bread.
No one could blame him for it. 1t was
an oversight on his part. His wife
taught music lessons-she gave private
lessons and class lessons, and she
sometimes performed at concerts. Her
peculiar treatment Of the Fifth Sym
phony did not initiate against her In
America.
In the course of the long and busy
years four children we're born to the
Hertzers, but still the burden Of the
breadwinning developed upon madam.
She never complained. 1t was the
greatest pleasure in the world for her
to return home and find the baron sit
ting there. She never saw a man 30
handsome. And he was always kind.
Sometimes he found odd jobs to do
bookkeeping, or work in a railroad Of
fee, or book criticism. He was willing
but not eager-to work. Time was
apt to hang heavily upon his hands.
And 80 it became his habit to amnse
himself in peculiar way-namely:
by the making Of little black devils.
He made them on anything that
CHANGED to be handy-an envelope, a
scrap of paper, playing card, or q
book margin. He represented them in
every imaginable antic. He gave them
4 thousand subtle individualities. His
mind appeared to be beset by them.
Many of his acquaintances had won-
dered in the course Of their intercourse
with him what 1t was that filled that
large, handsome head. Now they
seemed to be finding out. TIE little
inky imps trouped out Of his Uranium
in such numbers that they threatened
to leave 1t quite void and empty.
The children we're growing up. and
children cannot do that, no matter
how unobtrusive they endeavor to be,
without costing some one something.
These children developed talents, and
In a utilitarian age talents cannot be
allowed to go to waste. Madam Hert-
ser considered 1t incumbent on her to
roe that one studied dramatic express
sion, and another the violin, and an
other wood carving, and another
modelling In clay, besides all Of the
regulation studies. She brought q

Washington, Jan. 21-The depart
ment of state viii not take up, at
present, the suggestion that negotia-
tiOns be resumed with Denmark for
the acquisition of the Danish West
Indies. Talk about negotiations is
said to be premature, warranted only
ny the fact that certain business men

Denmark be again approached on the
subject.
No opportunity viii be afforded to
anybody who aspires to carry ON Ne
gOtiatiOns fer the purpose of enjoy
ing a commission from the sale.
It is felt quite safe to leave the IS
lands in Denmark's hands, as no for
eign power would undertake TO secure
Them without the approval OF the
United States. 1t is known that the
islands are a burden to Denmark, but
it is also felt that congress would not
just yet sanction the purchase of
them.

EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO.

Colina, Mex, Jan. 22.=.An- esrth-
quake shock began here at a quarter
before midnight Friday and assumed
serious proportions at Tenimata, many
houses being badly injured and some
Of light construction wrecked. There
was great CONSERVATION and people
rushed into the streets, some barely
escaping with their lives. Seven peo-
pie were killed outright and 60 were
wounded and are being cared for by
the local surgeons.
Tt was reported that the volcano
aad burst into eruption but il now
appears that the phenomenon was
confined TO subterranean manifesta-
lions. Local scientific men believe
that the earthquake travelled from I'M
der the Pacific ocean and that when
news reaches here from the coast
