Too Honest for Society.

A demure little maid who has had
much experience in society made the
customary New Years resolutions at
the beginning of the new century, but.
unlike some of her sisters, announced
the intention of using good deal of
flattery in her intercourse with her as
sociates in the future.
You may talk about honesty and
sincerity all you wish," she said to a
friend, ''but neither of these qualities
makes one popular: The popular girl
is she who always has something nice
to say, whether she means it or not.
Perhaps I've been little too blunt in
my frankness, but at all events the
cooling dove couldn't be gentler than I
will appear in 1901.
Honesty is the best polfcy-in bust
ness. In society I'm not sure it isn't
the worst. AS a preliminary and by
way of practice let me tell you that
you're looking remarkably well to-
night. Your frOck Is q dream and your
eyes are like stars. You're delight to
my eyes and the joy of my heart.
"Of course, l won't apply my compli-
ments quite so thickly as that in the
majority of cases, but I'm going to put
in artistic touches whenever I think
the subject will stand for it," And then
she dashed away, intent on her new
role and quite unconscious that her last
words contained any reflection upon
the sagacity of her listener.

SINGULAR TALE OF A RING
Circlet Was Restored to Its Owne
After the Lapse of Many Years.

Circ1et Was Restored to Its Owner
After the Lapse of Many Years.
'"The oldest experience I ever had"
said a gray-haired Ohio man, reached
its climax last night. Twenty years
ago lived in the little town of Bata-
via, Ohio, and one day as was hurry
ing along the street to escape a COM
ing storm a gold ring dropped with
sharp thud in a little mud puddle by
the sidewalk and 1 stopped to pick it
up. l thought some children playing
at the window of a house built out to
the street might have thrown it down.
but after the storm had blown over /
went there, only to find that nobody
knew anything about it. Neither did
anybody else in that neighborhood. nor
was the ring known to any one. as it
was likely to have been in a small town.
for it was nice one. 1t fitted my
finger and slipped it ON. and there it
stayed until last night. OF course the
story of it has been one of my mysteries
all these years, and always before fin
fishing l would ask the crowd of listen
| ers if any of them had lost such a ring
and could tell me the name inside of it
! I would be glad to restore it.
| "Well, last night, sitting over there
in the lobby of the hotel, with three or
four people listening, l told my ring
story and when asked the usual ques-
ton a man about my own age came for
ward and said the name in the ring was
Charles Brown with the date 1872
OF course was surprised, and was
about to hand it over to him when ii
struck me that perhaps he had heard
the story before and was trying to use
his knowledge to get my ring. But he
went on to tell me that on the tfay in

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf

There is little truth and great deal
If exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their

the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

A Whistlins Spider.


III. A. Peters, one Of the owners of
the Lashaway dairy farm, on the
Spencer road, while on his way to
Spencer, Mass, captured an immense
spider Of unknown species. When Mr..
Peters first saw the spider. which was
making a bee line over the public high
way for East Brookfield. he was 80
amazed at the sight that he rubbed
both eyes several times before he could
realize that the monster was reality.
Then, hastily grasping an empty glass
milk jar. Peters jumped from the wag-
OH and was about to make the stranger
q prisoner when he was startled by a
distinctly-audible whistle emanating
from the insect Instantly a flock of
minute facsimiles Of the peculiar spi-
der came rushing from all directions,
clambering up the legs of the big spi-
der, and hid themselves In the fuzzy
hair on its back. After securing her
young Mrs. Spider assumed defensive
attitude. Peters thrust the mouth OF
the jar over the whole family of spiders
and made them prisoners. Hundreds
have since viewed the monster and its
offspring and all are puzzled. The body
Of the large spider Is one and half
inches In length. The body Is black
and L. supported by eight powerful legs.
each two inches long. The head Ia

from which two feeleEs half an inch in
