An Undesirable BOarder.

Some time ago the keeper Of a board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired a comfortable COM
potency in the course of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
we'll known in the city and among the
women In her own business. She nev
er realized how well known 1t was un-
til she set out to find place to live in
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
a woman nearly as we'll known as her
self only to learn that there was no
room for her. 1t was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted in the eStab-
lishments Of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
Of a former boarding house keeper who
had made q reputation and fortune in
the business!
, She learned, after going to a hotel
where her record could not be used
against her, that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult to
get into boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they are
well known. 1t is practically impossible
for such women to find quarters, for

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine tothe Pan
American exposition to study the most
interesting features with view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir of any
exposition ever made, from both literary
and an artistic standpoint. To "Mr.
Do0ley" was committed the case of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston to give bird's-eye view of the
exposition In his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray
Butler studied the value of the exposition
and its educational influence. Charles
Y. Turner, to whom was committed the
color-scheme of the Pan-American, ex-
plains the methods by which he has pro-
duced such marvellous results. Arthur
Brisbane, in his own incompatible way,
takes the Incubator Baby and Niagara
Falls for his subject. Director-G General
Buchanan contributes a very interesting
paper on the organization of the exposi-
tion. Professor Pupin, Col. David Por-
ter Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lavinia
Hart, Julian Hawthorne, and John Bris-
ben Walker are among others who con-
slider the various phases of the exposition.
Under the direction of the editors of the
Cosmopolitan, 105 photographs were pre-
pared, showing every variety of architec-
ture and every phase of life, not neglect
ing the Midway, at the Pan-American.
These are engraved and printed in style
never surpassed even in The Cosmopoli7

PITH AND POINT.

Very few people want to know the
truth unless it fits their prejudice.
Every one who doesn't like you Is
looking for chance to laugh at you.
A great deal Of nerve is sometimes
necessary to keep from being cranky.
You know a whole lot If you know
enough to know you don't know any
thing.
When a boy is not invited to a party,
he hangs around the outside to see how
things are going.
When a dressmaker makes a quilt
out of silk scraps, the women begin to
look at her with suspicion.
Every one Is some kind of q sinner.
The employee too honest to take a post
age stamp will steal his employers
time.
Be sensible with your children. When
you want them to- do a thing. tell them
why. Don't tell them they must do it
or take a beating, or that they must do
1t because you say so.-Atchison Globe.

No use to hunt tigers with

tiger any and it's awfully. risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges of SCOTS Emulsion

Htsa Curious jaws and Its Wonderful

Htsa Curious Jaws and Its Wonderful
4 39 Little Tongue. {,
With the closest scrutiny 1t becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
49, 1rcatures. house its tongue in its
@aas1ys sosas' II back beneath
It's heafW Bumblebees, when disturb
ed, have a way of threatening with
their jaws, while the honeybee has
the more direct method of settling in
truders with her sting.
The jaws Of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite a for
midable nip. Catch a bee in a net and
see how viciously it will bite at the
meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead Of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement Of
the bee a tongue, but In reality 1t Is
more than this, for the whole arrange
nent consists Of two slender f1lameDts
called maxillH, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If a drop of honey lies
near the surface of a flower. the slen-
der. active tongue. darting out from
the case formed by the maxillse, licks
1t up with the same ease that a dog
licks a plate Should the tube of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length Of tongue,
which Is shot out from within and
shuts up like telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-
rate 1t into its component parts and
clean it out. The lengthening process
Of the proboscis. as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, is
accomplished by series Of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
power, the tongue Is a hairy member,
the hairs arranged in rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist in
lifting in the nectar and in pumping 1t
into the mouth. Thence 1t goes to the

In the Woods case the balance of the
evidence for the plaintiff was put in last
Thursday, and the case for the borough
was next put on. Different members of
the court of burgesses at the time of the
accident offered testimony intended to
show contributory negligence on the part
OF the plaintiff. An effort was made to
show that there was an Ice storm the
night before the accident. In addition to
the burgesses, Charles Cummings and A.
w. Kingsbury were put on for the de-
Tense. The case for the borough was all
in before the court adjourned Thursday.
Friday the lawyers put in their pleas and
the judge made his charge. The jury was
out about two hours and brought In a
verdict for the plaintiff, awarding him
$4,000. The borough has taken an ap-

The Central Vermont introduced de-

on the engine which draws the train north
leaving here at $40 went wrong near
West Wilmington. From there to this sta
ton therewas continuous screech, and
people along the line came out of their
houses and stared In blank amazement.
1t was going in good shape when 1t ar
rived at this station. The steady blowing
gave the impression that there was fire,
and people here commenced to look for
smoke. A crowd gathered at the sta
ton, and the streets were lined with peo-
pie from all parts of the town who were
anxious to learn what had broken loose.
Efforts were made to stop the Internal
blowing at this station, but while the
tune was changed little from time to
time, the old engine was giving contin-
uous performance, and refused to be
choked off. 1t was finally decided to go
along and let her blow. The train moved
up through the wilds of State Line with

reached Palmer.

Dear Sir: If there is a spot in your

Such a spot develops unseen In some

Look out for such spots, or paint at

you are likely to stop such spots before
there are any spots.
