Dickie, as the turkey came closer.

Dickie, as the turkey came closer.
''Sam-oh, Bam!"
Hello, Dickie, cried his father,
coming out of the barn. MY boy a
coward? That will never do. Stand
up to him like a mani"
Now, Dickie never obeyed his nurse
if he could help it. Sometimes, 1 am
sorry to say he did not do what his
mother told him, very quickly. But
he knew better than not to mind his
father the first time. He stood up now,
his fat legs very, very wide apart. The
turkey, however. shot by, Sam after
it. In moment Dicllie saw his foe
in the hands of Sam, who bore him off,
gobbling to the last and fluttering
wildly.

Dickie. But l didn't bite him.
couldn't"
"You shall tomorrow" replied his
father, swinging him up on his broad
shoulder. Come and see the little
calf
The next day Dickie sat at the table
in his high chair. He was not usually
allowed to dine with the growr-ups,
but on Thanksgiving day his grand
father paid his yearly visit to the farm,
and insisted upon his little grandson's
presence.
Dickie's mother cut up small piece
of white meat for him.
"There!" said his father. you've
bitten the turkey now"
Dickie wondered what he meant, and
why everybody laughed. But he had
long grown accustomed to the way in
which big people laughed when he saw
nothing funny, so he took spoonful
of cranberry sauce and said nothing
He did not realize that II was his foe
he had been eating.-New York Trib-

The EeviVnI of the Earring.

The long-predicted revival of the ear

now earrings are considered qulGe the
correct thing and are being worn to a
considerable extent for the first time
in ten years, though two styles only in
settings are at the present time no.
ticed. The large hoop and other fan
tastic shapes have been discarded in
favor of the short drop and the screw,
and, given a pretty ear earrings to
everybody, whereas diamonds only suit
people with clear compilations. OF
course, real pearls, lustrous and of
fairly good size, are very expensive,
but so perfect are the limitations now
manufactured that only an experienced
eye can detect the difference. The
most effective OF the earrings now
shown have small diamond as the
head of a screw and dependent from
this is pearl or other stone. The
effect is that of the drop, yet there is
no swinging, the one thing most i'm
portant to avoid in the up-to-date ear
ring.-American Queen.

true when applied to busy women.
Women, if l may express it SO, plod
at their tasks in a way unknown to
most male workers. Ask any business
manager of firm which employs both
sexes, and he will tell you that women
are by far more conscientious and
turn out more work in a given time.
Then, too, nature meant men to be
the breadwinners, and endowed them
with constitutions more fitted for the
daily drudgery of Office or professional
life. The mere fact of having to dc
the same thing day by day is posi-
lively deadly to many of the gentler
sex. To take up work and run it as
a hobby and taking up work as means
Of providing bread and butter for your
self or those dependent on you are
things as remote as the poles.
The sensitive, nervous tempera-
ments, which are those which certainly
do Lne best work, are very easily in
fuenced by their surroundings, and it
makes all the difference in the world

them that will take them out of the
business world in which they have
been and give them sometning entirely
different to think about.
So often one hears business woman
say that she is too tired to go to the
theatre, or to read, when as matter
of fact once the actual effort of get
ting there was accomplished she would
find it real rest, for it would change
her thoughts. get her away from her
little home worries, and arouse her
interest in the lives of those who seem
to nave so little in common with her
own.
Lack of recreation not only ruins the
health ana turns girls into old women,
but it takes from them all Individual
ity, all freshness, all power Of SYM
pathy, and turns then into the awful
product of this twentieth century,
woman who has but one idea in life,
and that the particular branch of work
in which she is engaged.-Home Notes.

White roses are much in demand for
the winter hats.
More stylish cloth skirts are made
with separate drop skirt of silk than
with a lining sewed in with the out
side fabric
Narrow lines of costly fur on gauze,
net and tulle remain one of the incon-
gruous combinations, but it is extreme
ly effective and becoming whenever
used.
The rage for lace for the trimming of
hats and the adornment of gowns and
evening wraps still continues, Irish
crochet and 1let being the popular
sorts.
Guipure lace waists are prettily fin
ished with tiny bands of fur, and one
thing which never fails in these days
is the stitching applied in every con-

MEANING OF "ATMOGRAPHY."
New and Convenient Ahhreviation
Suggested for Wireless Telearaphy.

A Muskegon correspondent of the
Electrical Review" suggests the word
"atmography" as a desirable abbrevi-
alton for use in place of wireless
telegraphy" which is rather clumsy
and undesirably long, especially when
it has to be repeated every line or
two in description Of aerial signal
ing. 1t should be pronounced with
the accent and syllables OF geography.
Made up of the first four letters Of
atmosphere and the last half of teleg-
raphy, it suggests the features Of the
system very well.

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD.
Why Recent Discoveries of Platinum
in Alaska Are Important.

The price of platinum, one of the
rarer of the precious metals, now ex-
ceeds that of fine gold, being S21 an
ounce. In 1890 the price was only $40
per ounce, but owing to the gradual
increase in demand it has been steadi-
ly rising. Platinum somewhat re-
sembles silver in appearance, but has
a rather duller luster. 1t is extreme
ly resistant to acids and atmospheric
agents tending to corrosion, and
would be much more largely used
were it not for the rather limited sup
ply and resulting high price. The de-
mand is in excess of the supply, and
its price will probably continue to
rise.

DEPUTY MARSHALS

Four Will Be All There Is Left in North
Dakota-The Officers Arc
Too Expensive.

Special to The Globe.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Oct. 10.-A
sensation Of no small proportion was
created throughout the state today by
the announcement that all the outside
deputy marshals in the state had re-
signed or would resign to forestall re-
moval by the department, and that the
work of the department wSuld be or
ganized on an entirely new basis. OFF,
cials in the state are reticent concern
ing the matter and all that can be
learned here is that there will be no
outside deputies and that all work OF
the Office will be transacted directly
by the marshal and four deputies in
Fargo. Heretofore there have been
two deputies in the Fargo office and
other deputies all over the state who
acted as they were called upon and
received fees and mileage. Now there
will be four deputies in the Fargo office
and none outside.
Well authenticated information is re-
ceived that the deputy marshals were
ey, as the temptation to take long jour-
neys with little cause was too good
to be resisted when the government
paid the bills and the deputies Travelled
on free passes furnished by the rail-
roads.

BRICKS SOAKED IN

Special to The Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 10
Bricks bid fair to rival coal as a fuel
in this city Thousands of persons are
burning bricks soaked in coal oil and
nearly every brickyard in the city re-
ports a run. At one brickyard in the
northern part Of the city it was re-
ported that several wagon loads of
bricks had been sold in lots of eight to
twenty to each person.
This innovation, which may in q
large measure relieve the coal famine
in this city,, is the result of the inven-
ton Of a woman. One large porous
brick soaked all night in coal oil will
burn brilliantly for over two hours and
furnish sufficient heat to cook a meal.
Three or four bricks placed in heater.
will warm a house for nearly three
hours. The bricks can be used as
often as desired.
