A Grave NIistake.

tombstones. Il refuse to pay you for
the old monument you want to palm
Off on me. My poor, poor husband!
He had picked up stick Of dynamite
and was trying to find out whether 1t

found of him was the left leg. That

mony. oh, William! William! 1t

sacred to me-"
But, madame" the dealer in mar

"What have you to do with it?" she
cried. Haven't your men gone out
there and put a slab with He Rests in
Peace on 1t over that leg? People
who know anything about the circum-

saw the inscription why 1 didn't have

Country Cousins Do Not Figure.

Turks have no family names, writes
General George B. Williams, in the
New York Telegraph. For example:
A man named Mohammed has a son
named Ahmed and a daughter named
Sophia. The son will always be
known merely as Ahmed and the.
daughter merely as Sophia, in the lat.
ter case even after marriage. The re-
suit is that members Of families after
one or two generations become lost to
each other. In fact, the sisters and the
cousins and the aunts'i business is not
much exploited in Turkey. One may
be talking to two brothers or two sis
ters without the fact being made
known. There being no family ties
no aristocracy. The grand vizier of
to-day may have been camel driver
or servant. His rise is not due to
any family influence or connection.

FACED DEATH MANY TIMES.
Lad Who Has Been In Peril Frequently
But Still Lives.


Edward Dempsey son Of a once not
ed oarsman, has been near deaths door
thirteen times, but the portals are still
closed to him. He is thirteen years Old
and has walked hand in hand with
death for every year OF his life and
never flinched. Saturday morning he
met with his thirteenth accident, but
that he has passed the hoodoo number
In safety is affirmed by the physicians
at the Jefferson hotel. The boy was
riding his bicycle down Chestnut street
when he ran into trolley car at
Eighth street, striking his head
against the iron part of the fender on
the rear of the car. Leading his wheel
he walked to the hospital, not know
ing until he arrived there that he had
received fracture of the skull as the
result of the accident. The doctors
say he willrecover. He cheerfully bears
his confinement and seems concerned
only in the baseball scores. Edwards
father, Patrick Dempsey, who is now
employed in hotel on Eleventh street,
below Chestnut was prominent years
ago as an oarsman and coach. When
the family lived at Falls Of Schuylkill
some years back the boy was concern
ed in more accidents than hospital
ambulance. Once he shot the falls of
Wissahickon creek in a frail rowboat
and it was a common occurrence for
him to fall overheard while rowing
and swim ashore This remarkable
lad has been the victim of a gasoline
accident, was hit by trolley cars ga
lore, chased by the angry subjects OF
his practical jokes and in may other
ways made the hero of incidents OF
which he was too modest to keep ae>
count. But the boy survived his thir-
teenth accident, probably the most
serious of all, and the physicians are
certain that he will be ready for an
other one next year.-Philadelp

FAILURE OF SILK CULTURE.
Attempts to Introduce 1t In Virginia
Were Unsuccessful


Were Unsuccessful.
In parts of Virginia, especially in the
vicinity of Williamsburg, there are
many mulberry trees-the result of a
fad introduced in the colony in the
early days. For century and a hall
the people made Intellectual attempts
to produc their own silk in order to
escape the commercial tyranny of the
French merchants. Charles l and
Charles II both favored the enterprise
and encouraged it by promising re-
wards. BY the direction of Cromwell
the House Of Burgesses passed a law
requiring the planting Of one mulberry
tree in every ten acres of and in the
colony. There was also a law per-
mitting only counselors and heads OF
families to appear in gold lace and for
bidding everybody to dress in silk
clothing unless the silk was grown in
Virginia. The experiment was fully
tried, but was improbable. In 1855
400 pounds of silk were sent to Len
don; in 1868 300 pounds were sent as
a present to Charles II. These are the
largest shipments known in the rec
ords. Occasionally a few pounds went
along with cargo of tobacco. The
worms did not thrive. The industry
languished and was finally abandoned
In 1880 it was revived, when a co,ony of
French Huguenots came over, but the
only result was a lot Of picturesque
old trees with knotted trunks and
grarled branches.

Keeping a Boarding House.

1t would be difficult to cast stone in
New York without striking a boarding
house or lodgings. Some exceptionally
tony people are engaged in the business
OF providing food and shelter for home
less individuals of the human race.
Among the keepers OF swell places are
numerous widows of Southern soldiers,
the destruction of whose property in the
civil war burdened their families with
distressing poverty. They managed to
come here and get start, and many
have made comfortable fortunes. The
widow of a noted general opened house

could accommodate. She is to-day a

hand.
Would she come to him thus, one
day, and tell him that at last she had
given away her heart? And would he
be strong enough to give her his bless
ing?
All, he had learned his own secret
now.
One evening they went together to
a brilliant gathering. A murmur Of
admiration ran through the room as
she entered 1t, but something in it all
wearied her tonight
She refused the many eager claim
ants for the dance, and stood watch
ing the gay scene, surrounded by a
little court, when, looking up, she saw
Rush Travers' eyes fixed on her face.
With a sudden impulse she moved
swiftly to his side.
81 am tired, Uncle Rush." she said.
"The garden is thrown open. Will
you take me there with you for lit
tie while?"
He drew the little gloved hand in
his arm and together they passed
through the French window into the
lantern-llghted space beyond, Neither
spoke, when, as they were in the shad-
ow, voices reached them.
"a beautiful girl-yes. Rush Trav-
ers' caprice they call her. There is
some mystery about her. For my part,
l don't believe she's any relation, and
| think the mans in love with her.
You know the old story about him?"'
But they heard no more. Pansy felt
the strong quiver which ran through
him as he drew her away.
"Oh, Uncle Rush." she murmured, 81
am so, so sorry"
Sorry for WHAT" he answered, al
Esost harshly. For keeping my secret
so poorly that it is football for the
world? For selfshly gloating when
other men were unsuccessful in gain
ing the treasure | so madly covet for
my own? 1t is true what they say,
Pansy-true. but it shall be so no
longer!"
True, Uncle Rush! You mean that
you love me?"
Yes, my darling But do not let it
frighten you. l have not forgotten
that | am almost an old man, while
you are on the threshold of your young
life. You shall marry some good,
noble man, Pansy, and l shall be happy
in your happiness"
81 shall never marry" the girl an
swered, softly, ''unless-unless-oh
Uncle Rush! | never guessed my own
secret, but know it now. Whom could

wooed me, have thought of you; and
beside you they seem so powerless to
win orta beat of my heart. How could
they, when already it belonged to you?
Was the gift so small that you would
not claim it?"
But he sealed the sweet, questioning
lips with the first lovers kiss which
had ever rested there.
