IN A DEPARTMENT STORE.
A Not Unusual Incident of One of
Those Get-Therc-Or-Die
bargain Sales.

The frail-looking young matror
stood in the swirl in front of the fan
n%elette shirt waist bargain counter.
Her arms We're full of bundles.
There We're dark circles under her
eyes, caused by extreme WEAKNESS,
says the Washington Star.
Observing her closely. however, you
could perceive that she didn't appear
to be interested in the stacks of
f1annelette shirt waists hcaped up on
the counter.
She just stood there. with a panied.
weary, half-eNpectant look on her
face.
A large oma with huge gilt loops
in her ears butted into the frail-
looking young matron, almost tax
ing her off her feet, but she didn't
ever look around.
A dwarfish, hatchet-faced woman,
seeing the young matron standing
there with apparently no business in
hand, probably concluded that the
young wOman was Unwarrantablv
usurping floor space that belonged of
rights to flanneiette shirt waist bar
gain hunters. The dwarfish, Ratchet
faced woman, therefore, deliberately
stepped upon the right great toe of
the young matron.
Still the frail-looRing young ma
tron paid no attention.
She was swooped upon by four
girls of athletic build. and almost
tossed into the air, so eager were
the skirted athletes to get at the bar
gain fiannelette shirt waists, but
when she came down once more on
her feet she only leaned ON the other
limb, sighed and continued to wait,
with her tired-looking eyes cast up
ward.
"A bundle boy hustling through the
store at top speed bumped square1y
into the f~rail-looking little woman.
but she quickly recovered her cquilib-
rum and made an effort to look COM
posed.
Three women who were all but
fighting over the possession of a nile
green tiannelette bargain shirt waist.
one of them hanging On to II sleeve
of it, another to the other sleeve and
the third to the collar, trampled I'M
mercifully upon the toes of the
weary-looking young matron, who
only withdrew her feet MS far as pos
sible out of the way, sighed heavily,
clutched her armfuls OF bundles a bit
tighter. and continued to wait.
What was she waiting for? For
what purpose was She enduring all
this misery?
She had purchased a $3.50 flannel
cite bargain shirt waist and had
given the saleswoman three dollars,
and she was waiting for her change.

Pictures In Jnpanesc TempleE.

The votive pictures (yema) or Jap
anese temples are an %outgrowth Of an
old custom. In ancient times departed
warriors were lonored by offerings of
sake and rice placed before their tab
let's and tombs. As the idea gained
ground that their spirits lowered
around their graves, besides food a
certain number Of spotless white
horses were provided with which these
spiritual WORTHLESS might take recrea-
ton. So it became the custom in
wealthy shinto temples to keep one of
these scored animals. There were
many shrines that could not afford to
buy n white horse, so the next best
thing was to get a picture Of one;
hence the name yema (picture horse)
from We Ia picture) and una Ga horse).
The use Of the yema was first confined
to the shinto religion, but the Buddhists
took kindly to the custom. The word
yema has long lost its primitive mean
ing and has become a generic name for
every picture hung up in Shinto
sErines or Buddhistic temples.--De-

POWERS OF BOYS AND GIRLS.
Difference in Stature at various
Stages of Growth and in
Hand Strength.

Tests applied to boys and girls show
show such a marked difference be
tween the powers of the two sexes as
to make one pause in demanding for
girls equal opportunities of education
with their brothers, says the London
Hospital. IN height girls keep more
nearly level with boys in school years
than in most other physical qualities.
At the age of two they are a very little
shorter than boys, but keep very close
upon them till the age of II, when
they even get ahead and keep their
superiority till about Is. Then, how
ever, they begin to lose ground, and
while the boys shoot up rapidly and
gain several inches between IS and 90.
the girl as a rule gains only an inch or
two more, and stops short in her
growth at about II. In the sitting
height there is not so much difference
as in that taken standing. but in both
the boys show a considerable superior
ity. In weight the same rule holds
good. Girls are n little lighter than
boys from ) to IL. at IL they are equal,
and from that age to IA the girls have
the best of it; but after IA they gain
little, while the boys develop rapidly.
1t is curious to note, however, that in
the matter of strength of hand girls
are weaker all along. Even at the
best, from 5 to 10, a girls right hand
is weaker than a boys left, and after
that the difference increases enor-
mously. In fact, the girls are nowhere
of curse IN would like to know If .
course of study which included golf,
tennis and hockey would not remedy
this state Of matters n little.

RICHES.

Have you a little baby boy
A few months more than two years old.
With soft brown eyes that brlm with joy
And silken ringlets bathed in gold,
Who. toddling. follows you around
And plays beside you near the hearth;
Whose prattle is the sweetest sound
To you of all glad notes of earth?
Have you a little baby boy
Who. when the voice of slumber calls,
Reluctant leaves each tattered toy
And in your strong arms weary falls;
Who, yawning, looks with sleepy eyes
Into your own and family smiles;
Then shuts his lids and quiet lies,
And drifts away to Dreamland's isles?
Have you a little boy like this,
who puts all troubling thoughts to fight
When. climbing up, he plants a kiss
OF love upon you lips at night?
If so, then humbly bow your knee
And lift your heart in thankful prayer,
For you are richer far than he
Who, childless, is a millionaire!
w. L. Sanford, in Galveston News.

to whom he applied in the regular
way lin chambers" Bynoe's only
course was to apply to the court of
appeals for leave to bring an action
against the Bank of England and
Charles John Williams, based on the
fact that he was sentenced on false
evidence given by the defendants and
that the bank had refused to correct
the evidence after it found out that
it was false. "
The court refused him permission
to bring his action on the ground
that there was mo possible cause"
for it. Deprived of legal verbiage the
courts decision simply amounted to
this-that having been found guilty,
he was, therefore, actually guilty, and
there was an end of it.

From the beginning Of the Christian era
to the present time, the hope has been COM
monty entertained that as the world grew
older and wiser a period would eventually
tan forces that the settlement of all serious
differences between nations would be ac-
