Capital idea" said Maybelle to her
chum. Perhaps l won't have each
side of my face blooming into an
American beauty. Just watch me-"
"You said the same thing when you
joined a basket ball team" remarked
her chum, but Maybelle did not notice
the insinuation.
Maybelle put on her red flannel waist
and short skirt early the next morn
ing and took a stand on the back
porch. "One, two, three" she began
to count, and waved her arms in APP
proved gymnastic fashion. ''One, two,
three" and Maybelle flung her hands
about her head and wiggled her
wrists. Then she swung a punching
bag up at the kitchen door and
punched away until she was out of
breath and ready to eat two beef
steaks for breakfast.
"My, but it's lovely, this open-air
exercise" she commented. Just after
luncheon Maybelle's chum rushed in,
| greatly excited.
What have you been doing, May
belle Smythe?" she demanded.
| Nothing" said Maybelle.
"Why. everybody in this block is
talking about you perfectly awful.
They say that before breakfast this
morning you were seen out on the
back porch flirting outrageously with
somebody passing by on the Illinois
| Central train"
"Oh, OIL" gasped Maybelle.

came out and demonstrated with you,
and that you turned and punched her

FACTS ABOUT ST. HELENA.

The island is eight miles long and
ten miles across, with an area of AZ
square miles
Diana's peak, the highest point In
che island, near the center, is Z, 200 feet
above the sea.
The only inhabited place in st.
Helena is Jamestown, which has pop
ulation OF about $500.
The coast of the island forms a per
pendlcular wall or cliff, averaging from
600 feet to 1000 feet all around.
On February, 1890, at the end of the
Zulu war, Dinizulu and Undabuko, two
Zulu chieftains, were transported to
ST. Helena.

sA TURDAY, MAY 10 1900
CARRIED. HIS LUNCH.
Cleveland Business Man Has Q
Rather Funny Experience.
Much so HIS Surprise He Proved Quite
an Attraction to a Flock of Spar
rows BY Leaving n Row OF
Crumbs Behind Him.

The intelligent young woman who
looks after the kitchen work in Mr..
Bingley's establishment is quite dab
ster at bread-making. says the Cleye-
land Plain Dealer. She usually "sets"
the mixture late in the evening. and in
order to keep it warm and comfortable
brings it into the dining-room in its
big pan and places it on a chair. The
other night it grew restless and rose"
and ran over. When the intelligent girl
took it away in the gloom of the early
morning she didn't notice the accident.
She merely picked up the pan, pushed
the chair seat back under the table and
went her way.
When Mr.. Bingley came down to
breakfast it was still gloomy, and
without a glance he pulled out his
chair, gathered up his coat tails and
pumped himself down in the wasted
dough. Bingley is not the man who
pays much attention to details, and the
dough made no impression on him-at
least not on his mind. he rose present
ly with enough of the mixture attached
to him to make several good-sized bis
cults and started downtown.
On the car he sat next to Filkins.
Say" said Fiu1ins, presently, do you
notice queer odor to the car this
mornings Smells like warm rolls"
Bingley shifted gingerly couple of
times, and said he believed he did no
tice something of the kind. "Guess it's
some new composition in the running
gear burning out" he said.
When he got over TO the Office he felt
little chilly with queer shivers run
ming up his spine, and he sat on the
slab over the steam heater to warm up.
The heat was genial, and he remained
there some time scanning the morning
paper. When he got up and sat in his

J Then why do you disobey me? Look
at all those crumbs on the floor around

George looked, and his eyes bulged
out.
II didn't make 'em, sir, he protested.
Me and Mickey Donovan always eats
out in the lamp room"
We'll, don't let it happen again.
said Mr.. Bingley, sternly. Take the
buster and brush them up
Mr.. Bingley's partner came in little
later, and almost the first thing he said
was:
I've got to complain to the janitol
again about these charwomen. They
are getting more and more careless
every day. It's bad enough to leave
dust all over the room, without eating
their suppers here, too
What's the matter?" inquired
Bingley.
Look at all those crumbs and bits
of crust under your chair?" said the
partner.
That's funny" said Bingley. 1t
was really funnier than he knew.
When he went out to luncheon he
wasn't at all hungry, so he ordered a
bowl of soup. After he went out the
waiter turned TO confrere and re-
marked: Something queer about
that man. All he had was soup, an
just look at the crumbs he left on the
fioorl"
When Bingley got home that after
noon his wife, as was hercustom, came
to the coor to let him in. He paused
on the porch, turned round quickly
and uttered a vehement "shoor"
What is it, Henry?" cried his wife.

About thousand of 'em followed me

I1is wife looked at him, anxiously.
Would you like a wet towel put
round your head, dear?" she ouaver-
ingly inquired.
wet lowell" he snarled. Then OBJ
serving her anxious look he changed
his tone. There, there" he said, "you
mustn't notice my tantrums. I'm a
little crusty to-day"
But that evening the hidden secret
was revealed when he pulled off his
coat.
why, Henry" cried his wife, shave
you been sitting down in a plaster
bed?"
And while he was twisting his neck
into knots trying to get look over
his shoulder at the scene of the accident
she discovered it was dough. ~

The blithe lark In the blue.
And, with an eye TO the growing grain.
The bunting's singing, too.
However sweet to other ears
These songs OF love may be.
They're sweeter far TO him who hears
Them sung In praise OF thee
The fiags are bursting into flower,
In blue and orange they blow;
The rose In blushing In her bower,
The lily's white as snow.

But think or Mary's lips.

The Roy with the sn.ss

Inc boy Win the SPADE
No weight OF ages bows him down.
That barefoot boy with fingers brown.
There's nothing empty in his face,
No burdens OF the human race
Are on his back. nor Is he dead
To Joy or sorrow. hope or dread.
For he can grieve, and he can hope,
Can shrink with all his soul from SOAP.
No brother to the OK Is he.
He's second cousin to the bee.
he loosens and let's down his jaw
And brings 1t up-his gum to ''chaw."
There's naught but sweat upon his brow
IT'S slanted somewhat forward now.
His eyes are bright with eager light.
He's working with an appetite.
All, mol That boy is not afraid
To WELD with all his strength his spadei
Nor has he any spite at fate
He's digging angleworms for bait.
