A Model.

Mr.. Jones came home at an unseemly
hour the other night and was surprised
to see Mrs. Jones sitting up for him
below stairs, with no other light than
that Of the gas lamp, which faced the
door, to keep her company.
"M-M-Marie," be said huskily, "y-you
shouldn't sit up slate when I'm out on
business"
As Mrs. Jones did not answer him, be
continued in an alarmed voice:
"Shorry, m'dear, but it's last time
tell you I'm sorry-won't shpeak to
neW
at this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
'tMr. Jones, who are you talking to
at this hour Of the night"
"Thash what I'd like to know
m-m-myself," stammered Jones.
Mrs. Jones FASTENED down stairs,
lamp in hand. When she saw the sit
uahon, she laughed in spite Of being
very angry.
sIts the model" she said-"the mod

= Cave Dwellers In Dieppe.

People who only know the gayer side
Of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
Of the existence Of the cave dwellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements Of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino, and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfsh from the rocks outside
their babitations. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being q Pc
culiac complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton On the part Of the cave dweller to
avail himself of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also Is peculiar, but whether 1t really
belongs to the stone age 10 one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold

EATING FISH.

It is not good form to ask for sec
ond helping Of fish.
It is considered extremely bad form
to use q knife in dissecting fish.
A little modern fish knife. with an in.
genious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit cf lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use The fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered a proper ac-
cessory to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers, with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With 2 boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with a little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion Of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as bit Of bread
held In the left hand may furnish.

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.

The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject Of
birds. Whenever any one Of them dis
covered q rara avis it was the custom
to have consultation. Mark had been
a witness Of several Of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus In the
form Of q bird. He killed a crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers Of both the crow and
the rooster, he substituted the rooster's
tail feathers for those Of the crow, pro-
ducing a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing 1t to him,
said:
"Rere, father, is a very curious bird
I shot. ! thought you would be inter-
ested IN it."
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with establishment. That
evening the ornithoIogists Of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
ofshoot Of the bird Of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no
tions as to its ancestry. But there was
one VINO refused to be swerved by the
peculiarly Of the birds tail from the
judgment that 1t was Of the crow Gam
lily.
"Why, Just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by it's tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was a quick closing Of
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
"Gentlemen," he said, please excuse
me q few moments. ] will see Samuel
first and explain later"

Time to Go TO Work

q woman was once trying to induce
General Sherman to use his influence
sor her son in order that he might be
given place in the army, for which,
however, he had shown no particular
dtness. "His father was in the army"
said the urgent mother, "and so were
his grandfather and his great-grand-
father, and it seems as If he ought to
follow the line"
+ "Em! Three generations il the
army" said the general 'Don't you
think, madam, that 1t is about time for
one.member Of the family to work for

Ensland,s Old Common Field System

EngIand's Old Common Field System.
A scommon field" is quite distinct

IN THE OLD FASHION
HOW THE PRESIDENTS CHILDREN
WILL CELEBRATE CHRIST
MAS.
Exchange of Gifts, Plenty of Noise,
Laughter and Wholesome Fun-A
Big Dinner, a Christmas Tree and
an Imitation Santa Claus-Presi-
dent to Take the Latter Role.

Washington. ID C., Doc. 2l.-Great
preparations hay" been completed by
the presidents family for the celebra-
ton of Christmas. President Roose-
welt believes in observing the holiday
in the good ol~d-fashioncd way. Besides
the exchange Of gifts, the celebration,
according to Mr.. Roosevclt's views,
must be accompanied by plenty Of
noise, laughter and wholesome fun.
There must be a big dinner. a Christ.
mas tree and an imitation Santa Claus.
For various reasons it has been de-
cided that the Christmas celebration
for the little Roosevelt boys and girls
shall be held at the home of their uncle
and aunt, Commander and Mrs. Cowl-
es, instead of at the White House.
There are children of their own age
in the CowlCs household. n a big eel
cbration, free from the restraint and
formalities of the executive mansion,
will be held. The decision brought Joy
to the hearts of Kermit. Ethel and
Archibald and baby Quentin, for they
had been given to understand that
there could be no Christmas tree at the
White House this year. Now they are
aware that their uncle has bought the
largest evergreen to be found in the
market and that other preparations
have been made for celebration such
as they have been used to at theiI
home in Oyster Bay. Little Sheffield
Cowles will act as the host of his cous-
ms on the great occasion.
Previous to repairing to the Cowles
house the president and his family
will dine together at the White House.
The president himself will carve The
turkey, which weighs thirty-two
pounds and comes from Rhode Island.
The mince and pumpkin pies have been
sent to the president by his neighbors
in Oyster Boy. When the dinner is
over President Roosevelt will disap-
pear. The children will not see him
again until late at night, but when the
tree is alight at Commander Cowles'
house a big, stout, hearty Santa Claus,
with a wagging gray beard and dress
ed in a suit of clothes with a number
of big pockets, will suddenly enter the
room and begin distributing presents.
1t will be a merry Christmas for all
the attendants at the White House, as
well as for the presidents family. Ev-
eryone in the mansion will hang up a
stocking. The president, Mrs. Roose-
welt, their children, the guests and all
the servants who live in the White
House Will follow the same custom.
While Mrs. Roosevelt was shopping
recently in New York she bought ONE
thing for everyone of them, and it is a
fact that not one in the house has for
gotten Mrs. Roosevelt.

was the first to undertake the building

dollars each year in advancing and car

jectorS. In the start the laws of WyO-
ming the United States were illv
adapted to encourage, advance and

places in Wyoming.
General Powell, late director of the
geological survey, in his estimate of
the water supply of Wyoming, Conclud-
ed that there was sufficient to reclaim
fully 20 per cent of the lands of the
state. He in his investigation found
the water supply more abundant in
Wyoming than in any other of thu
Rocky mountain states, save that OF
Montana. | believe General Powell
over estimated what could be done
with the water of the state. If only
o%ne-fourth of the amount stated by
General Powell. say 5000, 900 acres,
could be, reclaimed. it would make
Wyoming Il great agricultural state,
and with the other resources make the
state capable of carrying a large popu-

Oil Fuel for Locomotives.

One of the railroads on the Pacific
coast has been experimenting with oil
as fuel for their locomotives in place
of coal, and if it proves a success will
be adopted. While there may be some
doubt as to the success of this new
fuel, there is none concerning the cura-
tive value of H%ostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. 1t has been given a thorough
trial during the past fifty years and
has never disappointed any sufferer
from dyspepsia, indigestion, constipa-
ton or biliousness who has given it a
fair trial. What it has done for 9th

you now. Try a bottle and you will
