hood that when he decided to leave

that would insure his home against

was the owner of two bulldogs of
tried courage. The citizens bent on
spending his vacation away from the
city concluded that their joint guar

the CANNES left every night in his
domicile would contribute much to
his own ease of mind, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.

inventive resident to the bartender.

The offer was IN alluring one to
the dispenser of drinks and he readily
accepted it. The householder had lit
tie fear for his residence during the
daytime, as an obliging neighbor had
promised "to kind of keep an eye on
the place."
A telegram from the city rudely in
te%rrupted the tourists good time.
One of his business associates was
coming to town the following day
and it would be necessary for the
mar on his vacation to hurry home
for at least As hours. His journey to
the railway station was interrupted
by an accident to the rig and by the
time repairs were made the train
pulled out of the depot. This neces-
STATED a weary wait for several
hours at the station until the night
train arrived.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the
traveller, thoroughly tired, mounted
the front steps of his residence. The
click of his latchkey caused him to
stop suddenly in his musings. He
opened the door a few inches and
then slammed it in great haste as a
heavy dog, growing fiercely, sprang
against the panels. Then for the
first time he realized how well guard
ed his home had been in his absence.
incidentally he regretted that his
concern had prompted such a method
of protection.
The owner of the house had a
speaking acquaintance" with the
dog that stood in the way of his en-
trance, but the animal was not dis
posed to recollect it. The man at the
door said many pleasant things to
the canine, but the more he pleaded
the louder the animal expressed its
resentment. At last he concluded
that he was wasting time in his eff
forts at Cancellation and that the
only thing left for him to do was to
enlist the aid of his friend the bar
tender.
Arriving at the saloon, the weary
traveller found to his sorrow that an
other drink mixer was on duty.
"You know the bulldog that's over
at my house, don't you?" he inquired,
pleadingly.
"Oh, yes, of course"
Swell, I've been giving your part

and bringing him away in the morn

A TALK TO MOTHERS.
Patience and Persistence Is Required
In the Work of Child
Training,

A mother must realize that child
training is a work quite as impor-
ant as any profession, and ore which
requires an equal outlay of patience
and persistence, writes Ella Wheeler
Wilcox in Woman's Home Companion.
Women with but small talent will de-
vote years of time, and expend money
and enthusiasm upon the study of
music or the drama in order to enter
on these careers. They will relin-
quish social life, and give up all pleas
ure and amusement not connected
with their chosen professions. 1t is
only when mothers are ready to show
a like interest in the profession of
c~hild-training that they can hope for
success. The constant care of q talka-
tive child is very taxing. I dc not be-
lieve a mother should be constantly
with her child; but when the child
is in her company she should devote
herself to making every moment valu-
able, mentally and morally. She
should plan and arrange the amuse-
ments of her child when it isAin the
care of others, and should see that
the right people are employed to
carry out her designs, just as she
would take pains to employ the right
coachers and teachers for herself
were she preparing for the stage.

Fare to the North Pole.

1t costs about $25, 900 to tit out for a
seasons voyage to the Arctic such a
vessel as that of the Peary expedition,
which sailed in July, or that for the
Baldwin expedition, which sailed that
month. The fare for the round trip if
any passengers are taken, is usually
$500. Members of the crew of an Arctic
ship are paid about a fifth more than
on ordinary voyages. The captain will
receive about 1925 a month, the mates
and engineers perhaps $50 TO SIS, and
the seamen $35 a month. These wages,
it is always stipulated beforehand,
must be paid promptly and regularly
TO the mems families in Newfoundland
or Nova Scotia. There are usually ten
to twenty men in the crew.-N.l *. Post.

WEARING A
the Smoothncss of the Facial
CuticIe.

In the halcyon days of the south,
when time was no object with slaves,
and fair ladies scorned even to pick
up their own handkerchiefs, there
was felt among la haute s%ociete IL
manifestations inevitable markings
of Father Time. Then a beautiful
complexion was esteemed to be one
of woman's greatest charms. The
unburned golfer had not come fam
boyantly into fashion, nor was the
"literary wrinkle"-one deep crease
between the eyebrows-looked upon
with favor; neither had the ruddy
coloring the charm of to-day, while
redeemed arms exposed by rolled-up
shirt sleeves would assuredly have
been regarded as extremely vulgar,
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
A delicate skin was the supreme
desire of every well-born woman, and
considered half the battle in win
w chamber, therefore, she engaged
in such small arts as would enhance
this beauty, the most efficacious be-
ing a strip of white ribbon or a soft
handkerchief tied tightly about her
forehead, that it might prevent it
from pickering or falling into set
lines as she sat reading or thinking.
TO further aid in smoothing out the
brow the band was dipped in cold
water. Often she slept at night with
this band tied firmly about her head.
In these days of ultra modernness
the subject of wrinkles is still one of
vast Importance, and a new preven-
tive has been evolved. 1t is called by
the suggestive name Of 'frowner,"
and consists simply of a rather stiff
bit of white paper about the size and
shape of a postage stamp and having
on it's back a similar coating of gum.
Especially is it designed as a preyen-
tive of the wrinkles between the
brows or at the n of the eyes.
and in these places, after being
moistened, these should be pasted
whenever one is about to engage in
some occupation that causes the hab-
it of "wrinkling."
At the fashionable shops of large
cities frowners are now as regularly
on sale as almost any other access
series of the toilet. Many, however,
prefer to make them at home, a
| process simple and inexpensive. 1t
has also been found by those who
are ingenious that it is best to cut
them circular in shape instead of
| square, as they leave less of a trace
when removed. Heavy writing paper
from which to fashion them is avail
able to all, and a little dissolved gum
arabic will stick them on good and
tight.

Bobby.s New watch. I

When Uncle John came home from
Europe. what do you think he brought
to Bobby? Why, a watch; a really
fine watch that, would Keep time. OF
course. as Bobby was only six years
old, he was rather, .yonpg. to take care
of nice watch like that, but Uncle
John showed him, how. to wind it and
set 1t, and SO Bobby kept his watch In
ffrst-rate order.S But one day he mo-
ticed speck of dirt ON Its face. Ho!
ho!" said Bobby to himself. II don't
want my nice new watch to have a
dirty face. I'll wash It,"
So he went up in the bathroom and
put the watch in bowl of warm water
and rubbed plenty Of soap on it. He
even took a little brush and scrubbed
the inside works, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, SO there wouldn't be a
speck of dirt about it anywhere. Then
he wiped it dry with a cleanstowel and
put it back in his pocket. Well, after
that it didn't seem to- go as well as
before, SO Bobby decided it needed oil
ing. He got his mothers oil can from
her sewing machine and carefully oiled
all the wheels of his watch. But still
it didn't. seem to go right. Then Bobby
happened to think that perhaps ths
weather was too cold for IT, 80 he went
out in the kitchen and put 1t in this
oven for a while 1t got soshot he had
to take 1t out with a pair Of tongs
and then he put it. out OF doors in a
big snowdrift to cool off. But do you
know, even after all that careful treat:
ment, that hateful old watch wouldn'l

Uncle John and said he didn't care
much for watches. anyway.
