PEPPER AS A SMOKE CURE.
Young Woman Follows Cousins Advice
with Apparently Good Results.

One of the trials Of young mar
ried woman who lives on the East side,
so near the lake that she can look
from her back window out on It, icy
bosom, has a cousin but few years
younger than herself. lie is a young
man, extremely fond Of a joke-on
others-and seems to think that his
pretty cousin is a better subject than
anyone else.
She rarely gets angry, but joins in
the laughter as if she were the joker
and he the joked. His latest was sug-
ge>ted to him a few days ago by a
coal wagon backed up at thcwoodsEed
coal hole. From the seat Of the wagon
to the top of the shed was an easy
step, and from place Of vantage TO
the roof Of the house was another.
From the chimney Of the house smoke
was pouring out IN heavy volumes.
On the clothesline that stretched
across the yard hung piece Of carpet.
1t did not take him long 20 decide
that it would be "ju-t lot, Of fun TO
place that carpet and board over the
chimney and then step into the house
and watch proceedings.
They came, sure enough, and the
room was soon filled with smoke. The
young housewife pokcd the ashes
from in front Of the stove, shook the
CRATE and danced around in great
alarm when she found that her efforts
were in vain. Her reprobate cousin
stood around and tried TO show deep
concern. Finally, out Of the good
ness Of his heart. he offered TO tell her
how to stop the smoke
She was only too glad TO be advised.
but when he told her to put pepper in
the stove she was inclined to think
that the advice was worthless. Never
theless, as a last resort, she threw a
Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1902-03-20

handful Of pepper in the fire. Her
worthless cousin then quietly stepped
out through the back door. removed
the carpet and came in again. Not
suspecting the significance Of his leav-
ing the room, the young woman was
50 grateful for the pepper-in-the-iire
suggestion that she rewarded him
with a kiss That night she told her
husband about the new smoke cure
she had discovered and advised him
TO try il on himself. She was sure, she
said, that if he took sufficiently
large dose Of pepper he would throw
that hornd pipe away Her hus-
band was wise, however. and did not
act upon the suggestion.
The joke was not explained to the
victim for a week, during which time
she spread the news Of how TO stop a
stove from smoking among a dozen
Of the neighbors. When she was final
ly told how she had been dupcd she got
angry for the first time in her life. and
when her cousin. the sinner, left for
Chicago he refused to even bid him
good Milwaukee, Sentinel.

SHE COLD KEEP A SECRET,
womin Who Lived and Died without
Once Telling Her Age.

The one secret that women know
how to keep, is, according to unkind
critics, that of their age, says the Bal
timore News. They will tell every
thing else that is entrusted to their
keeping, but never. even in a moment
Of expansive indiscretion, will they
be induced to reveal the number Of
their years.
OF course. this isn't always true.
Many feminines tell their ages and
those Of their women friends with as
much freedom as their brothers would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves, but one elderly lady who
recently died was, in the matter Of
secretiyeness, a marvel to her &C.
quaintances.
No one except her brother, and Sis
tiers knew her age. Her husband did
not, though she was married to him
30 years or more. When the mar
riage license had to be bought the
bridevouchsafed the information that
she was more than 1S.' That was
all; so the hardhearted best man put
her down as 2j years Bray.
In the years that followed she
never spoke Of her birthdays. Once,
when she was asked if she was born
in June, she replied that she didn't
remember. The natal days Of others
in the family were celebrated, but
hers never. She would talk well on
any subject in the world but ages /;
on this she was absolutely dumb.
Before she died she made a single
request of her husband. pleas don't
allow any date to appear in the obit-
uary notices or on my tombstone"
she asked. II don't ike dates"
And so her secret died with her,
and, though her women friends sur
missed that she must be at least ten
years older than her husband to JUS
tify this sensitiveness, it is quite pos
sible that she was nothing Of the sort.
She did not look il. She merely had
horror Of being reminded Of the
passage Of time.
This was, Of course, a very unusual
case, but it is sufficient evidence that
woman can keep a secret and she
will

suNBeAMs oLlsTeN BRIGHTLY.

Day by day the sunlight
Sinketh in the west,
Daylight fadeth from our sight,
Nature seeketh rest;
But We know the darkness
Soon will disappear,
God, with love and kindness,
Ever stayeth near.
First, the moonbeams calmly
Cover with weird light
Streams that flow so silently,
Silvery, cool. and white
Then the morning dawneth,
And the light OF day
Decks the earth and draweth
Life from suns bright ray;
Sunbeams glisten brightly
In the drops Of dew,
And God, loving, kindly,
Doth our faith renew.
Thus when shade and shadow
Darken heart with fear,
Faith doth say: Tomorrow
God will dry your tear
First comes peace as moonlight,
Mellow, mild, and still,
Then strength, as the sunlight,
Heart doth warm and fill.
Matters not IL sorrow,
Anguish, grief draw near,
From Gods fount just borrow
Strength. hope, pure, and clear.
For to heart that trusteth
Comes a bright. pure ray;
Faith and hope IL giveth.
Alloweth peace TO stay.

FEEDS THE SQUIRRELS.
The Selt-Imposei Task of United States
Senator Pettua

Every morning as regularly as the
sun comes up over the hills to the
east Senator Pettus emerges from hi,
residence near the capitol grounds
with an envelope full Of crumbs, re-
lates the Washington Post. He
tramps across b street, leaps the tall
granite curbing that skirts that por-
ton of the government reservation
and looks over his steel-rimmed spec
tacles for the little squirrels placed
in the grounds some months ago.
This ALBANIAN of the old school, pom
derous of movement, who served as a
lieutenant in the Mexican war and
afterwards rode with a party of his
neighbors Oh horseback TO California,
finds great delight in distributing the
crumbs to the squirrels that rush
around him. They are the senator's
friends and have no fear Of him. They
cling to his outstretched hand. climb
upon his broad shoulders and frisk
around him familiarly ashe furnishes
them a morning meal.
