Uncle sldney's Views.

I hold that the true age of wisdom is
when
We are boys and girls. and not women
and men
When. as credulous children. we know
things because
We believe them-however averse to ehe
laws.
1t is faith. then. not science and reason,
/ say,
That is genuine wlsdom-and would that
to-day
We. as then. were as wise and ineffably
blest
AS to live, love and die. and trust God
for the rest!
So I simply deny the old notion, you
know,
Thpt the wiser we get the older we
grow;
For in youth all we know we arc GER
tain OF. Now
The greater our knowledge the more we
allow
For skeptical marsin and hence I re-
gret
That the world isn't fiat and the sun
doesn't set,
And we may not go creeping up home
when we die
Through the moon. like n round, yellow
hole In the sky.

Prisoners Rarely Attempt to Secure
Their Liberty.
Elizabethtown, the county seat of
Essex, in the Adirondacks. possesses
a comedy Jail. 1t is small, having win
dows secured by wooden bars. and
Jail yard inclosed by a solid fence of
three-Quarter inch boards which a
healthy male could rush over with his
shoulder. But the prisoners rarely,
If ever, attempt to escape.
Some good stories are told by resi-
dents. 1t is custom to allow the
prisoners out on parole, SO that they
may cut the grass on neighboring
lawns. do garden work, or repair roads
for the village or county. Recently
one prisoner who should have returned
at o'clock did not apply for admis-
sion until nearly an hour later. The
warden angrily demanded to know the
reason. and added:
Don't let this occur again or will
not allow you to come in. l lock the
door at o clock and won't open it in
the future for you."
Another, accused Of and awaiting
trial for manslaughter. overstaid his
parole and pleaded as an excuse that
as 1t was Saturday he thought he
would go and spend Sunday with his
wife, returning to the jail on Monday
morning.

The Rag-Time Girl.
BY F. H. LANCASTER.


Copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
That was what he had called her-a
ragtime girl. And everybody agreed.
No sustained theme or lofty SYM
phony here-only taking bits of bright
ness. Much merry laughter and gay
chatter, sweet sunshine In the shadow,
sweeter song in the silence, but of no
practical use. Quite ignorant of the
ethics Of money making or soul saw
ing; in short, posted upon precious lit
tie save the science of being glad
hearted-and of making others so.
Occasionally God sends such a sun
beam to dwell among us-and he had
called her a ragtime girl. Lifting his
was gentleman, but with sensa-
ton Of superiority that sat smiling
to his egotism.
His ideal woman was strong, Sc
rene. soulful and many other of those
big SIS that are SO apt to spell sulks.
"Quite saturated with purpose in
life. and bending all her energies to
dts accomplishing" Which. being in
terpreted, means selfish. But the man
had not gotten as far as the interpreta-
tion yet. He thought it all very grand
and fine. Which, perhaps, 1t was in a
way. though the way was more likely
to lead to a blind alley than to a sun
ny upland.
Her office was just across from his
and he watched her working away, day
in and out. 1t never occurred to him
that she was only earning her bread
and salt In a roundabout way, instead
OF taking short cut to competence
by doing something she knew how to
do. He thought her high-minded. de-
voted. plucky. Hence his lip lifted
when he spoke of the girl.
And the ragtime girl? Knowing lit
tie. she yet knew that the mans up
per lip was short and tender. A piece
OF knowledge unluckily acquired. Bet
ter for her had she continued to hold
him stern-browed and horrid. When
q girl begins to watch for a certain
expression on mans face. she is in a
bad way-or at least her peace OF mind
is. Any one but q needless. merry NOR
tai would have realized that month
ago.
Meantime the mans acquaintance
with the woman began to be punctu-
ated with handshakes and snatches OF
conversation. Transit treats" he
called them, because taken in the ele-
vator.
The woman was as clear-headed as
he had imagined her to be. She lis.
tened well. He found out where she
lunched and accommodated his hours
to hers. sat opposite her at tabls and
felt that he was living the life.
Then the rift came In his A.iy OF
blue. The woman began to talk-how
things should be. Now, although a
thousand years have lived and died
since Jemshid admonished his ambi.
tious sweetheart:
"Give me the bow and mark my SKILL"
Neither his words nor their sentiment
have passed away. First and last

RAPID FLIGHT OF DREAMS.
Extraordinary Capacity Of the Brain
in Slumber.

An eminent public man of England
whose mental faculties had been sub
jected to too great a strain and who suf-
fered greatly from mental depression
that amounted almost to tire disease Of
melancholia, was told. by his physician
that he must rest his brain. He was a
very busy man and scoffed at his doc
tors prescription Of q nap in the mid
die of the day.
Finally, after much persuasion, he
agreed to this experiment. II would sit
in his easy chair every afternoon with
his hands on his knees, holding a din
nerbell in his hands. If he lost con-
sciousness and went to sleep he would
be willing to sleep for the period that
1t took for the dinner bell to fall to the
floor and wake him.

save him. He invited his patient to

dream while the dinner bell was falling

Every day for many months the man
sat down after luncheon with the din
ner bell in his hands. Every day he
went to sleep, slept for half a second,
while the bell fell to the floor, and his
mental condition improved steadily,
partly because of the rest which his
mind got through losing consciousness
for second and partly because of his
interest in the extraordinary dreams
which passed through his brain while

Not that he voiced any such re-
proach on Providence. Not in the
least given to doing or saying silly
things, it never occurred to him, or to
any one else, that he could be swayed
by so slight an annoyance. His pen
plodded on patiently. and document
after document took shape with all
the precision required by law; yet one
thought lurked among the grey cells of
the mans brain. and at last won its

the man got up and went out with the

with the brisk movements OF a man
on business bent. he glanced into the
parlors. down the hall and up the
stairs.

Eluding the direct tendency of his
thoughts. he turned into the library
and glow of content warmed him
as he beheld the ragtime girl before
the fire. Heaven knows why he should
have expected her to laugh then. There
was nothing laughable in the situa.

TALE OF TWO DOGS.
How Newcomer Taught Old Fellow

Bill DOrgan used to own a pup, In
which all breeds were well mixed up;
hump-eyed, yellow sort of cur, with
fieas and sandburs in its fur. 1t was
a scrapper in its way and licked some
oogs most every day; and it, in course
of time, did reach the verdict that it
was peach.

show its teeth and wear a frown, and
every now and then 'twould wall:
why won't some dog step on my tail,
look me in the face and howl? Are

One day a bulldog came to town; it
was sort OF brindle brown, with
handy legs and sawed-off tail, and
teeth that would eat through a nail.
Its face was scratched, it's eyes were
sore, it's tongue was like a cellar door.
1t padded up the village street as
though in search of stuff to eat, and
when the mongrel saw it come, the
latter cried: "A scrap. by gum. Now,
doggies, see me go and muss the stuff

ugly, lop-eared clown to push himself

The mongrel, with outstanding wool,
jumped then upon the vagrant bull;
and then there came a cloud of dust,
crack as though some bone had bust,
shrek. moan, sickening thud, a
gentle rain OF fur and blood; and then
the bulldog took his way, and nodded
to the dogs. Good day." The mongrel
had been scattered round SO all the
chunkc were never found; Bill Dorgan
scraped up what he could, and planted
them out n the wood.
