A Salty Tale.

The old saying that the way to catch
bird is to put salt on its tail has been
verified by little Jimmy Belew, who
lives in Naudain street. Jimmy was
sent by his grandmother for two bags
OF salt for some domestic operation
already In progress. After an hours
absence he returned In high state Of
excitement, crying, "Ive got the bird"
Sure enough, he had sparrow clutch
ed tightly In his fist. But where's
the salt" asked his grandmother.
"Oh, the salt" said Jimmy. "Why.
that's around the corner in the middle
OF the street"
Investigation showed that the boy,
returning from his errand, saw some
sparrows on the car track. He opened
one bag and poured out the contents,
which the birds proceeded to investi-
gate. Then he threw the contents of
the other bag on top Of the sparrows.

KISSING OUR BOYS GOOD NIGHT.

Oh, what change comes over things,
What quiet Ills the place;
The winter evening slowly drags
The purple flames that race 20
Far VIZ the chimney seem to shed .,l
Less cheerful warmth and light
When. putting on their little gowns,
We Kiss our boys good night. 81
We follow them as OF they go,
With ringing laugh and shout,
To iondly tuck them in the bed
And turn the gaslight out,
And. claspcd in one anothcr's arms
So warm and snug and tight,
They hll cur hearts with worship
when we kiss our boys good night.
And as they drift to Sunderland
We lingor round their cot,
For, 10, strange cnchantmcnt
Binds us voicolcss to the spot,
And life somehow grows sweetcr,
And the vcNing cares take flight,
when, bending DER their sleeping FORMS
We kiss our boys good night.
Then. looking to the future.
Into whose mysterious years
They must go 10 meet life's issues,
Now with gladncss, now in tears.
We pray that he may lead them
Ever in the path Of right
When no more beneath our rooftree
We may kiss our boys good night.

Madam Carter, clairvoyant, who mas
been revealing the past and foreteii-
ing the future at No. 1871 Chapllne
street, is no longer doing business al
that stand. She departed rather IN
tremendously, between two days, and
her present whereabouts are unknown.
If she can be located, a warrant will be
served upon her, and she will answer
to charges Of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Madame Carter has been here for sew
eral weeks, and appears to nave Done
a very profitable business. Not con-
tent, however, with charging ices as
high as five and ten dollars, she mas
swlndled her dupes by the wholesale,
if all reports. concerning her are true.
The warrant charges that she promls-
ed to bring abcdt a marriage between
the affiant and a certain gentleman,
and through false pretense secured 500
in money, a diamond ring OF the value
of SIS and other jeWelry.
Madame Carriers methods were pc
culiar, and it is surprising that her
patrons should fall such easy victims.
Indeed, the personnel of her patrons
would be a revelation to most people IN
the community. 1t appears that Wo-
men are always more susceptible than
the sterner SEX, but Madame Carriers
B victims embrace several women VINO
are we'll known in society circles, and
who, to say the least, Ought to know
better
1t appears that the charivoyant
Cleaned her victims in the sense in
when that term Is underslooa IL a
crap" game. She induced item to
bring all their gold money, diamonds
and articles of jewelfy, and to leave
them with her for several days. She
claimed the power to bring about the
wishes of her victims through some
mysterious magnetic power which she
eXerted over the coin. :. The magnetic
power is no longer mystery.
Through her magnetism, Madame
Carter promised TO re-unite estranged
lovers, while with some she agreed to
put certain charm or spell upon a
favorite article OF jewelry. When her
promises were whispered about, there
appears to have been a grand rush to
hr apartments, and credulcus women
were eager TO deposit their valuables.
Madame Carter probably preferred gold
money because it was easier carried
than silver. One woman gave her two
diamond rings. Another deposited two
rings and SIS in gold. A third left
"a gold watch. Many other cases
are spoken OF, and it is believed that
the claiwoyant has carried eff money
and valuables belonging to her vic
aims, to the aggregate value of at least
$4,000.
1t is understood that the police have
been notified and are making an effort
to locate Madam Carter.

their many members they are also in

cations in the smaller cities. At the
present time there are 4S different
points organized and doing a special
work for the young men and boys, and
judging from the present outlook, there
will be at least as many more asoscia-
tons established within the next six
months. West Virginia is the banner
State for railroad work. Baltimore has
strong work in several parts of the
city and has recently added $4,000
worth of Improvements to the central
departments of the Y. NJ. G. A. Will
mington recently moved into a beauti-
fui building and its membership has
more than doubled within the last six
