THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

Papa Said There Was No Similarity
In the Two Cases.
papa" asked the little 10y, 'do you
remember the first money you ever
earned?"
Yes" said papa. at was q nice,
new, shiny 5 cent piece that Old Mr..
Gregg, the grocer, gave me for doing
about quarters worth Of work in car
rying load of potatoes into his cellar.
1 worked all Saturday afternoon to
earn that nickel, and when he paid me
ran three blocks home, tired as | was,
to show it."
"And did you put it in your little
bank" asked the little boy.
"No; l got fathers permission to
spend it Just as l pleased. However, l
kept it for three or four days, just to
have the satisfaction of having money
of my owned, earned by my own exer-
tions. And if l could have bought all
the things l thought Of buying with
that nickel would have had about
SO worth of books, toys, marbles and
what not. Finally made up my mind.
What do you think bought:'
81 am sure l can't guess" said the
little boy. "What did you buy, papa?'
If went to the bakery and bought a
custard pie"
"Why, papa! And you said grandma
always had custard pie at home and
let you have slice of it as soon as you
got home from SCHOOL,
"Yes, used to get slice, but not a
whole pie, and she never let me eat it
the way / wanted to. So | went to the
bakery and bought my pie and borrow
ed spoon from the baker and ate all
the custard and left the crust. l never
had anything taste so good in all my
life.''
"You never allow me to eat custard
pie that way, papa" said the little boy.
ooh, that's different! said papa.-ln-

Many q time I hev wanted a peach
pickle in the middle of the afternoon,
but wouldn't go down arter it and be
a pig. Did / tell you about the cider
vinegar. SamuelT'
Mr.. Gallup was holding his breath
over the statement that the Virgins
washer washed a shirt for the govern
or of Arizona in 13 seconds, and Of
course he didn't answer.
"The cider vinegar amt, no good,
Samuel. 1t didn't work, and you might
as we'll throw it away. Before you
marry ag'in you ought to fix the leak
in the roof, git new pump for the
well. whitewash the kitchen and buy
q new mop handle. First wives can
git along most any way and make one
mop last for 20 years, but second wives
begin to kick right away. / amt tellin
you these things because Pm jealous,
Samuel, but because it's my duty as
dyin wife. don't want you to hev to
60 huntin the house all over after I'm
gone to find things. Remember, your
dyin wife, who hain't asked you to buy
her a hairpin for II years. tells You
that you've got three shirts. four pairs
of socks, FIVE collars and two handker-
chiefs in the bureau. and hangin up in
the clothespress is two old suits and
one old hat. In the top drawer of the
bureau you'll find piece of Grape for
your hat, and in the bottom drawer is
some farewell verses writ out year
ago. don't owe none of the nayburs
no tea or coffee or sugar. and none of
'em owes me anything. Now, that's all,
and If you want to kiss me and say
you're sorry I've got to 60 and hope III
watch over you,. why. then I'm ready"
She looked full at Mr.. Gallup for the
first time. His eyes were still glued to
that pamphlet. 1t was stated that the
Virgins washer was so constructed
that it could be attached to a potato
slicer or an apple parer and no readers
interest could help but grow.
Mrs. Gallup waited 60 seconds for
an answer, and then as none came she
softly rose up and went out into the
kitchen and began to get things ready
for breakfast She had been gone ten
minutes when Mr.. Gallup smiled. He
didn't smile because he heard her sing
ing verse Of "The Old Oaken Bucket"
but because Mr.. Virgins finished his
pamphlet with the declaration that no
matter who wrote the poetry OF
America, he proposed to wash the
shirts Of the nation. NJ. QUAD.

library of congress, told the best
story of the day. Mr. Green hap

Booth and tfRichard HI"

In her book on "Some Players" Amy
Leslie says that Edwin Booths detes-
tation of Richard III was frank and
incurable. One night. when in the most
magnificent instant Of Richard super
fell in a writhing. sQuirming attack,
which set the country audience laugh
Ing, Booth said quietly, after the fall
Of the curtain, amid shouts Of mis-
guided laughs:
"What was the matter, captain?
The trembling captain owned reluc-
tantly that one Of his 70 cent men had
been seized in fit.
"Please pay 80 cents next time. and
employ one whose fits may not inter-
fere with Richard. Richard is unen-
durable enough without thu addition of
rented fits"

PAINT ON INDIAN FACES.
Nearly All Of 1t Means Something to
Those Initiated.

Nearly All Of 1t Means Something to
Those Initiated.
The fact of the matter Is that every
paint mark on an Indians face IS
sign with a definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts Oh his full war paint, he
decks himself not only with his own
individual honors and distinctions won
by his own bravery, but also with the
special honors of his family or tribe.
He may possess one mark of distinc-
ton only or many. In fact, he may be
so we'll off in this respect. that, like
some English noblemen, he is able to
don a new distinction for every occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his
honorS at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one desig-
mated by the symbol Of the dogfsh,
painted in red on the face. The varl-
GUS parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface of the
face; the peculiarly long snout is paint
ed on the forehead, the gills are repre-
sented by two curved lines below the
eyes, while the tail is shown as cut in
two and hanging from either nostril.
When only one or two parts Of an ami
NAL are painted On mans face, it is
an indication of inferiority; when the
whole animal appears, even though in
many oddly assorted parts, the sign
is one of great value and indicates a
high rank.
Very peculiar are some Of the honor
able symbols painted on the Indians
faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl
Of all kinds-dog salmon, devilfish,
starfsh, woodpeckers, eagles, ravens,
wolves, bears. sea lions and sea mon
sters, mosquitoes. frogs, mountain
goats and all manner of foot, claw or
beak markS-each with special mean
ing of it's own.-Pearson's Magazine.

Steam Navigation.

The rise of steam navigation was
slow. Like most things new, it had op-
position. In the sixteenth century an
unsuccessful Italian genius tried to
apply steam to navigation. In 1876 a
British patent was taken out for a
steamboat. 1t was 1907 that witnessed
Fulton sailing up the Hudson in boat
driven by steam. In 1888 steamships
crossed the Atlantic.

C. M. THAYER DECLINES
TO BE A CANDIDATE

Charles NJ. Thayer will not accept
the Republican nomination for ms AR.
This fact was settled yesterday when
Mr.. Thayer gave a statement to the
outlining his position.
Here is Mr.. Thayer's statement
which many Republicans are inclined
to believe means that he would not be
averse to considering his possible can
didacy for mayor at some future time:
Until yesterday morning, / did
not appreciate that the suggestion
of me as a candidate for mayor
was receiving the serious attention
of any number of people and there
fore | did not consider that a state
ment from me was called for: in
fact, it seemed to me - t such a
statement would be entirely out of
place.
Il now, however, in the light of
communications | have received,
feel that it is proper for me to say
that the condition of my affairs is
such at the present time, that /
could not under any circumstances
consider the nomination il it were
offered to me-
Il would like TO say that I am
not unmindful Of the kindness Of
people who have seen me in re-
gard to this matter, and the court
esy and consideration ] have re-
ceived from the press, nor am 1
unmindful of the fact that a per-
son who has been educated at the
expense of the city should not de-
cline without serious consideration
and without good reasons, a de-
mand made upon him by citizens
who are known to be Influenced
wholly by what they consider the
best interests of the city"

HOLY CROSS STUDENTS
ADOPT A NEW YELL

The Holy Cross football team re-
sumed practice yesterday after a rest
of few days. The men were given
only light work as many of them are
slightly overturned and Coach Conner
fears a slump before the Thanksgiving
Day game with Boston College.
Twenty men have answered Captain
Quigley's call for candidates for the
basketball team. All of last year 8
team with the exception of Quinn have
reported and these men with the host
of new material at hand should give
Holy Cross a team strong enough to
compete fayorably with the other col
leges that are in the New England In
tercollegiate League. Manager Murphy
has his schedule ready but 1t cannot
be made public until so ordered by the
secretary of the intercollegiate league.
AT a meeting Of the Holy Cross A. A.
yesterday afternoon it was unanimous
ly decided to adopt new college yell.
The committee on college yells and
songs submitted five yells to the stu
dents and the following was adopted:
Holy Cross, Rah, Rail-
Holy Cross, Rah, Rah!
Rail- Rah! Rah!
Holy Cross!
Section leaders are to be appointed
to conduct the cheering so that more
systematic arrangement for cheering
may be had. The new cheer is to be
used for the first time at the Boston
College game Saturday.
