the president looked at him sharply
and asked:
"Rutter. what does the New York

The reply was, For managing the

And then the commodore said. well.

Rutter went out and carried through
his plan on his own judgment. The re-
suit was highly satisfactory. Rutter

The Resin Eaters.

"Resin eating" said n south Georgia
doctor. "is a habit acquired by the
Cracker settlers who live in the neigh
borhood of turpentine still. The resin
they use isn't the hard, shiny resin OF
commerce. but has been dipped out OF
the cooking caldrOn at an early stage
of the process. and when it cools it can
be kneaded between the fingers like
wax. The backwoods resin eater will
bite off an immense chunk and chew 1t
pIacidly until IL disappears. The heat
of the mouth keeps IL fairly soft. but If
the chewing becomes too deliberate IL
is apt to set as they say. and cement
the victims jaws together in grip OF
iron.

backwoodsman who used to hang

The Daily Short Story
DoRoTHY's MISTAKE.

IL was an intensely hot morning Il.
| June as Dorothy Beresford, hot and

box, etc, climbed the long stairs lead
ing to the studio In st. Stephens Green,
Dublin, where she worked.
This was Monday, the first day for
the new model. and Dorothy presently
found herself one OF group of eight
or nine students watching with pleas
ant excitement the posing of a hand
some melancholy eyed Italian boy on
the little platform.
4 quarter before o'clock, the time
for closing. Dorothy, her face burning
with artistic excitement, turned to get
some raw sienna. AS she flung the
tube back she cast hasty glance into
the street below. and the glance
merged into a prolonged stare.
A slight girl in soft gray dress,
with large hat to match, leaned on the
arm of n young man, whose upright
easy figure was very familiar. Very
familiar, indeed. Only last night in
her aunts hall her head had rested
against that shoulder; that arm had
been round her.
Only four months. four happy
months. since Ferguson Graham. the
rising barrister, had been introduced to
Dorothy, only three weeks since the
day she had given the answer plead.

But now another girl is leaning on
that arm. Who is she?

he said softly.
Dorothy battled hard with rush OF
tears. Then the recollection Of the
seat under the beech tree rose too pain

aside and sprang TO her feet. making
for the door.
But Ferguson Graham placed him
self before her and said:
Don't try 20 go on with this acting.
Dorothy. Tell me the meaning OF your
manners 1 have n right TO know, and.

In silence they stood one breathless

The next day was studio day again.
Dorothy worked with n feverish rapid |

The Torture of n Flax shirt.

The InoSs trying ordeal that Booker
7. Washington was forced TO endure as
slave boy was the wearing Of a flax
shirt. In his autobiography, up From
Slavery" he says:
I'm the portion of Virginia where
lived IL was common To use flax rs part
of the clothing for slaves. That part
of the flax from which our clothing
was made was largely the refuse.
which of course was the cheapest and
toughest part. l can scarcely imagine
any torture except perhaps the pulling
Of a tooth that is equal TO that caused
by pulling on new flax shirt for the
first time. Ii is almost equal to the
feeling that one would experience if he
had dozen or more chestnut burS or
hundred small pin points in contact
with the flesh. Even To this day l can
recall accurately the fortunes that I'M
derwent when pulling on one of these
garments. The fact that my flesh was
soft and tender added TO the pain. But
l had To choice. / had to wear the flax
shirt or none, and had IL been left to
me TO choose | should have chosen to
wear no covering.
''In connection with the flax shirt my
brother John, who Is several years old
er than / am. performed one of the
most generous acts that ever heard OF
one slave relative doing for another.
On several occasions when / was being
forced to wear n new flax shirt he gen.
erously agreed to put IL on I'm my stead
