such small boy. and murmured hastily: Beg pardon, what did you say?"
 l said 1t was a fine afternoon" repeated Jimsey.
 Bless my soul so you did--so you did,, said Lord Wildminister, who took some min utes 10 recover from his amazement.
 Jimsey, In his eagerness to keep the con- yersation going, added:
 ihey don't charge you for seats in the parks in New York;
 Indeed said Lord Wildminister, who was beginning to be amused at Jimsey. 'pray tell me about it'
 Jimsey gave him his views on many American topics, and, although his nforma- ton was not always accurate, 1t interested the lord very much. He took a pleasure in asking Jimsey questions about politics in New York, treating him all the time with the grave deference he would employ in dis. eussing a question with a grown person of his own station, and Jimsey replied with all the intelligence he could muster.
 Finally Jimsey turned the tabies and he began to ask questions. He got around to the great question of which he had heard everybody speak, and he could hear lis heart thump as he said: "I hear lot about the international agreement; won't you tell me something about it?" Lord Wildminister was a noted wit and it struck him as good joke to tell the whole secret to this boy that the world was wait. ing anxiously to hear. Accordingly he be- gan, but In high-fown language full of the longest words he could possibly find. pur. posely to befog Jimsey, and told Jimsey what any Star reporter would have given a years salary to hear.
 When he had finished he believed that Jimsey had not the remotest notion of what he had been told, but the boy was brighter than the lord believed, and by ignoring the words he could not understand had taken in pretty solidly all he had been told.
 When Lord Widminister finished Jimsey mutered an apology and started down the road to find a cab. He was driven to the Star office and flew into the editors room, bursting with his information. He dictated all he had heard as nearly as he could re- member, and many things the meaning of which was strange to Jimsey were perfectly clear to the editor.
 That evening the Star had the great story of the interview with Lord Wildminister. "by our special representative, James Lee Featheringham."
 A few days later the true story of the in- terview leaked out, and Jimsey was the hero of the hour. The Star provided fund to send him to college, and when his term ex- pires he will go on the staff as a real Special representative"

 All this time Jimsey kept steadily before him the ambition he had formed to become a newspaper writer. He went to night school in Finsbury regularly and kept him. self carefully dressed. He was a frequent and welcome visitor in the editorial rooms of the Star, owing to his brightness and good behavior, and he lost no opportunity to study closely all that went on there.

The captain of the side inside the ring must at once slap gently one hand of the glri whom she thinks Is holding the spool. IT she Is right and touches the hand that holds the spool her side scores two points, but II the girl should have the spool in her other hand they score one point. In either case the sides change places. If the captain guesses wrong and the girl whose hand she touches does not have the spool at all the side outside the cord scores one point, both sides remain where they are and they go on as before until the captain inside the ring does guess right, when the sides change places.
 The game should be 10 points, but you can change this to suit the length of your recess, reducing it to seven or increasing 1t to 15 points, as you please.
 This is an especially good game for rainy day, when you cannot go to the playground.

Well my boy," said the magistrate, look flag through his spectaeles at Jimsey, what Is this you have been up to? Want to blow up London, eh?"
 'No, siri'' said Jlmscy stoutly. "We were celebrating the Fourth"
 Celebrating the what?'
 'The Fourth. sir-the Fourth of July"
 "What on earth were you celebrating the Fourth of July for? Oh, I see; you must be an American. "A
 "Yes, sir" said Jlmsey proudly, I'm an American citizen, an 1t ain't on papers, neither"
 The magistrate smiled, not unkindly, and asked Jlmsey how he had come to London.

Reporter after re- porter from the Star were sent to his great house in Portman Square to interview him, sphinx.
 Many and many time Jimsey heard the editors and the subedltors say: "If we could only get Wildminister to talk 1t would be the scoop of the year" Like all boys, Jimsey had his day dreams, and In them he often imagined himself as having succeeded

EF I WAS RICH.

By WILLIAM WALLACE wHITELocK. Elf I was rich, tell you wat,
 I'd have bully time; I'd spend a lot on candy
 Why. I guess I'd spend dimel An soda water, too, you bet,
 I'd buy glass each day, An jus plunk down quarter
 When it come the time to pay. I'd buy lot of soldiers, too,
 Like Cousin Joe has got, An then 1t wouldn't matter much Ef one or two got shot An lost their heads an arms an legs An couldn't go to war For when a feller's rich. you see, He goes an buys some more. I'd have boat with sails an things, An p'r'aps train O cars, An all the kinds O jelly wat
 Comes all put up in jars An always stays locked up, sos you Can't never get a bit, Except when big folks comes around An eats most all of it. I'd get pair O boxin' gloves, A turnin' lathe an tools; An picter books, but not the kind You sees at Sunday schools; An ef they tried to make me go To school thro' rain an shine, l wouldn't go step, no sir,
 I'd rather pay the fine. P'r'aps I'd get bike, besides, Elf I was awful rich, An, ohl a baseball, too, the kind What really players pitch; An then I'd get a-well, let's see, 1 can't tell all I'd do- But pa an ma should have their

Most of the great oarsmen exercise during the winter when it is too cold or stormy to go out on the water The crews of all the large colleges who compete in the great boat races every summer keep themselves in good condition by this exercise, and by the time warm weather comes again, instead of losing the muscle they had gained by row ing during the previous summer, they are actually stronger and better oarsmen as q result of this healthy exercise.

ways marked for their simplicity yet
excellent conception of color combina-
tions. She has love for rare laces
and has fine collection in her person
al wardrobe.
From the earliest days of his public
career, the Presidents wife took the
keenest interest in what was thought
and said of him. She has read the
newspapers ardently for many years,
and always showed profound interest
in the sentiments concerning the com.
panion Of her lre.
When well enough to go out. the
theatre has afforded a scene of pleas
ure to the couple, although both cared
more for the simplicity of home life, of
which they have had so little.
Out of the many years of success and
fame, a 'arge number have been de-
voted to the service of his state and
country, and it has been a matter of no
small regret to one of the Presidents
tastes and habits that his wife, so
weak and fragile, could not enjoy
mere of the comforts Of home Lfe.
which are likewise to him next to be
desired to that which he has attained.
Two years ago Dr.. Rixey advised the
President to formally state that his
wife is an invalid, in order that the
wearing duties of entertainments, etc,
might be spared her, but she would
not permit it.
The ladies of the cabinet relieved
her as much as possible. Thus, for in
stance, at public functions, persons
reaching out to grasp Mrs. McKinley's
hand would inclose that of Mrs. Gage
or some other cabinet lady who had
reached quickly forward so that Mrs.
Mckinley might not be tired by the ex-
ertion, but at best they could do little
for her and her weakness became more
marked.
On last inaugural day, it being her
+ desire to witness the swearing in of
her husband, she went to the capitol.
Her will power kept her up beyond
her physical ability, but even will
power can not work miracles.
Half fainting, sac was carried from
| the stand to a room where. to some ex-
tent, she was restored. Since then she
has been even weaker than before. her
face assumed a deadly pallor and she
was seen but lutte outside of the
White House
When the Presidents trip was plan
ned her health was very poor Dr.
Rixey thought travel would benefit
her. Nothing that could contribute to
her comfort was left undone.
