Honest Mistake.

The story is told of little New
England girl the workings of whose
Puritan conscience involved her in diff
ficulties on one occasion.
Shewas studying mental arithmetic
at school, and took no pleasure in it.
One day she told her mother with much
depression of spirit that she had
failed again in mental arithmetic"
and on being asked what problem had
proved her undoing. she sorrowfully
mentioned the request for the addi-
ton of s'nine and four"
And didn't You know the answer,
dear?" asked her mother.
.sYes'm," said the little maid, 'sbut
you know we are to write the answers
on our states, and before / thought I
made four marks and counted up,
ten, 'leyen. twelve, thirteen; and then
of course knew that wasn't mental,
so i wrote twelve for the answer, to be
fair. Youths Companion.

owner, and was known as the most
successful farmer in the county.
He was indignant over the insult of
fered the jury, and determined that
for one he would not submit to it,
provided he could resent it without
going to Jail, relates the New York
Tribune.
So at the recess for dinner Mr..
Westray approached the Judge and
asked him, as a matter of law apper-
tanning to the prerogatives of a
judge, if he, the judge, had any au-
thority> of law to say what he did to
the jury. Judge Ship answered that
he certainly did have that right by
law, otherwise he would not have ex-
ercised it. Mr.. Westray then put this
question: Judge Shipp, if I should
here and now proceed to give you a
genteel thrashing for what you said
to the jury, would you take it like a
man for your part as an individual,
or would you fall back on your judi
cial prerogatives and put me in jail 2"
The judge said in that event the
prerogatives would come into play
and be mighty handy, and that he
would board Mr.. Westray at the ex-
pense of the county for two years.
Mr.. Westray then said: Every well,
judge, if that be the case, we will
forego the thrashing," and walked
off.

There is wide difference of opin-
ion regarding the actual wages of
the striking anthracite miner. The
nominal wages as figured by the op-
orator vary from $50 to SIS month.
The actual wages as figured by the
miner vary from $50 to $3s month.
This difference is due to the fact
that the operator figures on the
basis of full time, while the fact is
that the miner rarely makes full
time. The report of the Pennsyl-
vania bureauof mines for 1899 shows
that the average wages of the miner
for that year was s2s5.

Charles Francis Adams, in a re-
cent address at the University of Chi
cago, proposed the erection by the
national government to Gen. Robert
Z. Lee. He would have it located in
Washington. He pointed out that.
while Lee was rebel, the same thing
was true of Cromwell and Washing
ton. The English people, he said, had
so far overcome their aversion for
Cromwell as to give him monument;
and he argued that the American
people ought to be equally mag
unanimous toward the memory of
Lee.

BALLAD OF PLYMOUTH WASH
ING.

When Capt. Standish, Of Plymouth town.
Gable and strong while the weak went
DOWN,
With the six good men left sound and we'll,
Labored for all, strange things befell!
Half O. the folk were under the snow;
Famine and fever had laid them low;
And the sick, too feeble for work or care,
Were burden the seven men must bear:
Guardians, nurses, and serving-men,
They showed the stuff they were made Of
them
Nothing too lowly they found to do,
Nor shirked to try when little they knew.
They cooked, they cleaned, and their rough
hands tried
The tasks the women's had thrown aside.
They soothed and tended as best they
might;
They mothered the orphaned babes at night
They gathered the garments foul, forgot,
And linen stripped from the fever-cot,
And sturdily faced, a foe at bay:
The toilsome terrors of washing-day!
Brows bent sternly and anxious eye,
Weapon unslung and sleeves rolled high,
Brawny back bent over the tub,
Great hands awkward to wiring and rub,
And lean, strong arms in the sudsy snow
Tossing the linen to and fro
Strange to the peering sick folks eyes
Capt. Standish in such a guise!
Bold Miles Standish, gfim atyour tub,
Down through the years we see you rub,
And the water that whitens the web you
hold
Brightens your name till it shines like gold
Clear and clean O. the pride of war!
Was fame e'er won at the wash before?
Never a care for praise or blame,
Never a thought of mock or shame
Soldier and captain. brave o. the brave,
bridging, ungrudging. to serve and savet

3You DONE think my reading is
worth S50?" she asked.
81 don't think it's worth two cents. .
replied Freddie.
well. I'll tell you what we'll do,
them" said the prophecies. Don't pay
me a cent now. You go home and
try my scheme. Then come around next
week and pay me just what you think
it's worth. Is that fair?"
Freddie didn't like the plan. He
wanted to be rid of the Yelled Lady.
He offered to compromise for five dol
lars, then for ten. He would have
paid the $50, finally. but the Yelled
Lady pushed him gently to the door
and out. She seemed to like the prop
osition the more she thought of it.
That's all right" she said. .You
come around next week. But be sure
and do it absent-minded. darling"
Then she shut her door and Freddie
made for the open air.
His wife dined at home the next
night. Freddie hadn't the remotest in
tention of making fool of himself on
the Yelled Lady's prescription, but
Mrs. Freddie was so wholly unrespon-
sive and bored that in sheer despera-
ton he had said before he knew it:
what have you been doing to-day,
Flossie dear?" ~
Mrs. Freddie looked up with sud-
denness that jolted Freddie.
"What did you say?" she asked
ST merely asked you what you had
been doing to-day" said Freddie.
"Well, what" asked Mrs. Freddie.
"did you call me?''
She hadn't looked at Freddie with
such interest for six months. Freddie
couldn't believe his senses.
"Why, Mildred I suppose. what
else?" asked Freddie, lying without a
CULVER. Then in two dozen words she
told him of her doings that day.
Two nights later Freddie was doz-
ing on the library couch, when his
wife came home from dinner She
passed by him and he put out his hand
and seized her sleeve.
"Hello, Flossie, DEAR" said Freddie,
sleepily.
Freddie weighs at least 600 pounds
when he is sleepy, but she had him by
the shoulders sitting upright in less
than it takes to tell it.
"Freddie-Freddie Lawrence" she
demanded, her eyes and cheeks blazing
and looking far more lovely than Fred
die had ever seen her, "what have you
been calling me? What do you mean
by calling me Flossie? Who is Flossie,
Freddie dear-?''
Freddie lost his mind temporarily,
but his soul expanded like a balloon,
and the rest is sacred history.
The next afternoon Freddie was ush-
cred into the Yelled Lady's sanctum.
SWELL, birdie,' asked that genial
prophecies, "do I get my $500"
"You do" said Freddie, handing her
bill. ST might have sent it to you,
but I wanted to come Freddie
showed emotion-"and tell you that
you're all right"
The Yelled Lady looked at the bill
as matter of business. It was $500
gold certificate.
you're all right, too" said the
prophecies. "But say, dear, don't you
ever try that psychic name again. It
wouldn't work."-N. Y. Sun.

Then he looked up and down the street
hastily, plunged into the fat house.
and knocked at the Yelled Lady's door.
A young woman with her hair in
curl papers ushered him into a half.

tal-looking and very dirty draperies.
There was stuffed baby alligator on
a center ia BILE, with something burning
in bowl beside it which smelled bad,
and various other outlandish but mex

Now, don't say a word said the
Yelled Lady, as she appeared from be-
hind yelours portiere. you're in
love, poor fellow, and the lady is cold.
Now, amt I right?"
Freddie started. There seemed to
be something in psychics. His funereal
face relaxed a trifle.
The Yelled Lady was a jovial, fat
little prophecies, and she seemed to
like Freddie's looks. She took off her
veil after the first formal moment,
and even offered to send out for beer, if
Freddie was dry. But Freddie didn't
want any beer. He wanted clairvoy-
ance.
well, then, you tell me the whole
story, DEAR" said the Yelled Lady.
land I'll go into a psychic state and
fix y up in a minute. You're a mar
ried man, amt you?"
Freddie started again. The Yelled
Lady certainly was wonder. He told
her his story, emitting names and
points of Identification of course, and
the most narrowing details.
1t seemed more tragic and hopeless
to him as he told it. But the prophet
ess surveyed Freddie's personable fig
ure and her black eyes flashed like
matches.
Il don't have to go into psychic
state for such an easy case" she said.
You've just got to tell me one thing
the lady's first name"
The lady's first name was Mildred.
Nm" said the Yelled Lady, Gust
as l supposed. The whole trouble
comes from your not calling your lady
by her psychic name. She was named
Mildred, you know by mortals. Now,
her psychic name is-er@Flossie, and
when you call her anything else you jar
the astral infiuences-di sarrange the
suspicious conjunctions, you know
Isn't that plain?'' y
Freddie regarded the prophecies
with a strong and sarcastic eye.
Now, when you go home," she went
on, you watch your chance and call
her Flossie. Not often-say once every
Gay or two. And be sure to do it kind
of absent-minded like-as if you was
thinking of something else, you know
because that gives the influences
we'll yon do it and see.''
Freddie felt only a strong desire to
get out in the fresh air and kick him
self.
"How much do I owe you?" he
asked.
"That'n be $50" said the Yelled Lady.
Suavely.
Fifty dollars" echoed Freddie. For
the folishness you've been talking?
Your card says 'one dollar sitting
chats all right about my card,
DEAR" said the Yelled Lady. "This is
different
She stopped and regarded Freddie
searchingly.

list prepared of those national banks
throughout the country which held
free or pledged bonds at the date of
their last report. and has made in
quiry for others. After making al

last report, he expects this will re-
lease at least $4,000, 900.
He has also decided to anticipate the
October interest, amounting to about
S4,2o0.00o, and with this in view orders
have been issued to the various sub.
treasures to cash such coupons as
may be presented them for payment,
and the treasurer of the United States
has been instructed to mail checks for
interest on the registered bonds.
The secretary sees in present condi-
tions no occasion for alarm. He calls
attention to the fact that there is no
evidence of currency famine present
or prospective elsewhere than in New
York, and even there the rate is not
high for commercial paper.
