said that there had been a number Of

sold throughout of the city. He stated
that he would have to await further de-

deciding whether the law had been vio-

In view of the fact that the entertain-

is not possible to state whether Mrs.

or not. In one or two Instances the

stronger hold on the public for future

THE SLUGGARD
AND THE ANTS.
Copyright, 1901, by Elizabeth Langs-
dOrf.

The ants were in nowise delighted
to receive their visitors, but they were
compelled to do so. for the fairies said
SO, and what the fairies said the ants
must do. Their guest was the slug
gard. His night name was Charley, but
because he is no longer sluggard it
would not be fair to tell the rest of his
name.
The sluggard would never get up in
time for breakfast. Then. when he was
up, he hated the trouble of washing
and dressing and would come down
to the table with his face insufficient
| ly cleansed and his hair combed in
sections, to the great scandal Of his par
ents and the amusement of his brothers
and sisters. often his shoestrings would
be hanging and his waist half button

the classroom just too late for the OPEN
ing exercises. Punishments, advice or
rewards alike failed to reform him.
One afternoon as he studied his les
son under the trees he performed his
usual trick of going to sleep over the
first paragraph.
"The lazy good for naught!" cried the
head fairy. He's gone to sleep over
his work right in the midst of our grass
plot"
and right on our fairy ring. where
We dance by moonlight" exclaimed the
first assistant head fairy
Then there was buzzing of all the
fairies, who put their heads together to
decide what they would do to reform
the incorrigible.
Presently the head fairy clapped her
hands.
"Tell you what well do with him.
You remember that big book Charley's
mother talks out of to the children in
the garden on Sunday? She said one
day, Go to the ant thou sluggard; OBJ
serve her ways and be wise.
'Ah7'h, yes-s," reluctantly agreed the
other fairies. But won't it be rather
hard on the ants?"
Cant help it" firmly replied the
head fairy. Its our duty to send him.
Besides. we an make it up to the ants
afterward"
And so Charley, who had put himself
in the elves power by going to sleep in
one of their fairy rings when he should
have studied his lesson, was very much
reduced in size, and when the head fairy
waved her wand dropped right beside a

Fortunately, piazza living is now so
popular that proper furnishings of all
kinds are both good and inexpensive.
No screen to shut out sunshine or the
gaze of the curious passer-by is CON-
parable to luxuriant-growing vines,
but these cannot be grown in all situa-
tions-and when they can, will not ma
ture in night. As a substitute the
Japanese bamboo shades or screens are
better than ticking or any other textile
hanging, because they admite more or
less air and are not in the least in
Jured by rain. These screens now come
in several sizes, and are inexpensive.
To give veranda its most cosy and
inviting look. there must be floor rug
of some sort, if only breadth of rag
carpet or mating. The latter or a
fibre rug is preferable to wooden rug
and yet there are few rains when the
latter will become wet if rolled back
against the house.
box-seat across one corner is as
convenient as it is comfortable and in
viting. Have the cushion loose. and
utilize the box for this and other cush-
ions and pillows during the night and
rainy weather.
Rattan or wicker chairs. with loose
cushions for seat and back, are both
light and easy; but whether these or
wood ones are used, they should be
given coat of waterproof varnish or
enamel paint. If the latter. choose
some inconspicuous color rather than
bright red. A capacious rocker. with
pocket for holding reading matter at
tached to one arm, is a treasure. and
many persons prefer a reclining OF
swinging chair to a hammock.
One can scarcely have too many cush-
ions-of the right sort. Let their coy
ers give the requisite touch of color
and be both washable and strong.
Few piazzas are roomv enough to
have the luncheon or tea-table rem
lar fixture, although there is no more
charming place to serve either.

Count Mitkiewicz made his home in
Washington for a number of years and
is we'll known here. 1t was from here
that a number of schemes were engi-
neered so gigantic that they dazzled
the world, and for a long time made
Mitkiewicz one of the most talked of
men on either side of the Atlantic. Had
it not been for the fact that his en-
terprises always failed just at the fru-
taken rank as the worlds greatest pre-
moter He was daring and original
and some of his enterprises were start
ling in their magnitude.
The count was a handsome man and
in many ways was almost irresistible
in his fascination. He was of medium
height, but had an aristocratic carriage.
dressed in the height of fashion ard
was courtly in manners. During tbs
time he made Washington his head
quarters he wore "a silky moustache and
flowing side beard.
Mitkiewicz's right to the title OF
count was frequently disputed. hut
he always claimed that it was legiti-
mate. He claimed to be a Russian, but
he admitted at times that he was born
in Warsaw and that his father Was
postmaster of the city. The fact that
he was a Pole was pretty well establish
ed. lMietkiewicz came to the United
States about 1862 NE was then a
youth of not more than 10 years. bu-
he left behind him in England and on
the continent of Europe record of
queer dealings.
Arriving in New York. Mitkiewicz
registered at the Fifth Avenue hotel as
Count Eugene Mitkiewicz. of st. Pet
ersburg' He gave it to be understood
that he was heir to princely estate
and noble title, and that at his father S
wish he was seeing something of the
world before coming into his own.
Sweldom in New York took him up
and he became a fad. The lavish man
ner in which he spent money, however,
reduced his European accumula tions.
and to raise the necessary dollars for
continuation of his gay life, he bor-
rowed a lady's diamond ring at a swell
social event one night and failed to
return it The lady grew SO insistent
as time went on that the count finally
/ returned the ring. In place of the dia-
mond was a paste setting. and the
count was arrested. He was indicted
