Her father looked at her keenly.

"Talking about tenements," broke in
the irrepressible Tom. I'VE had good
one today on Fred Yerkes. Another

Grace, turning dizzy and faint,
clutched frantically ut her napkin.
Was she to hear the story of Fred's
disgrace here before the entire fam
ily? Wildly she thought Of flight; then
taking fresh grip on her napkin,
which by this time resembled a snow
ball. she determined to face the or
deal.
"You see," continued Tom, Fred
made some foolish bet the other day
with Cummings. l didn't hear what
1t was all about, but anyway the
loser was to go down IN the slums
somewhere with one of those organ
grinders. do cake walk and pass the
hat"
Grace gasped.
IL should say SO. Any fellow ought
to know better than to mix up with
Cummings. He's always putting up a
game. But, having lost, Fred paid his
bet like q man-went down this after
noon, with lot of us In tow to see
that he played fair. And he did. by

was when Fred got through, and n lit

yelling, Say, mister. yer togs Is out

Everybody at the table laughed.
Grace wondered IL that hysterical
treble was really her own voice. She
felt such ridiculous desire TO cry in

Half an hour later when Tom
dashed upstairs 10 his room, he was
met in the dim entry by his sister.
She laid her hand affectionately on his
shoulder.
Tom. dear, you know that stiekpin

ried on, muttering:

Hello. NAH bahyl Hello. nah honey!
Hello. nah ragtime girl
In the twinkling of an eye pande-
monium reigned in the sewing room
of ST. Agatha's mission. Twenty-Five
small girls dropped fells, French
seams and buttonholes in a wild rush
for the open windows and their first
love-the street piano man.
Their pretty teacher was far too ten
der hearted to stem the hegira. So
little music could come into the lives
of these sum children. Why deny
them this pleasure? So she quietly
gathered up the scattered pieces of un-
bleached muslin, smiling as she softly
hummed the air which came changing
and clanking from the street below.

forms whose owners would not give

"Hellol Hello~ screamed the piano

what Pipe smoker. Have to Fear.

Those who use the pipe have to fear
epithelioma, otherwise called the can
Ger Of the lips and of the tongue. The
first of these is particularly common
among those who smoke short clay
pipes. The cancer of smokers shows
itself generally mt the point where the
stem of the heated pipe is carried upon
the lower lip. That of the tongue ap-
pears on the side where stream of
smoke Is likely to strike the tongue ut
each inhalation. These two forms of
horrible disease are without doubt
the most serious that smokers can meet
with. II Is the fear of these formida-
BILE accidents that has converted many.
The frequency of them, however,
should not be ovcrrated. Statistics
alone can give us an Idea of the truth.
Those of the city of Paris show that
there are 15J cases each year of deaths
caused by cancer Of the mouth, while
the number of smokers in Paris itself
estimate to be ut least 355,00O. Ad-
mitting that half of these make use of
the pipe and that all of the cases of
cancer can be attributed to them, there
Is but one victim to every thousand

ORDER OF THE RED EAGLE.
something Abdst the German order
Recently Bestowed by Emper-
or william on Americana.

In view of the numerous decora-
tions conferred on Americans, it Will
be of interest to learn something
about the history Of the particular
orders bestowed. The Order of the
Red Eagle, which many Americans re-
ceived. was originally established in
1905 by the hereditary prince Of
George Wilhelm Of Brandenburg-
Anspach. under the name 'Ordre de
la Sincerite" and Order Of the Red
Eagle. When in 1891 the markgrave-
dom became a part of Prussia the
Order of the Red Eagle was also tax
en- over by the state. King Fried
rich Wilhelm II. made it the second
order Of Importance of the kingdom.
Friedrich Wilhelm III. in 1918
changed the statutes and also the
signs Of the order. Under Friedrich
Wilhelm ". and the late King VIII
helm, whom his grandson calls the
great. the statutes were also extend
ed. The order consists OF five classes.
which are: Grand cross, first class.
second class with star and without
star). third and fourth class; be-
sides these classes, a large number
Of gradatiors and variations exist,
SAYS an eastern exchange.
The decorations of the grand cross
consist of large eight-pointed white
St. Johns cross with gold setting.
The crosses Of the first, second and
third class, which differ only in size,
consist of smooth. white enameled
cross, inlaid with gold, a white gold
shield in the middle shows in front
crowned red eagle bearing a green
wreath in his talons. The cross OF
the fourth class has the same form.
the arms of the same, however, are
not enameled but Of silver, only the
middle shield is enameled and like
the other classes.
An order which many Of the Amer
leans received is the royal crown or
der. the youngest order of Prussia.
It was established in 1861 by King
Wilhelm Of Prussia, when in COM
memoration of his coronation. The
order Is of the same rank as the Or
der Of the Red Eagle, and also divid-
ed into four classes. The decora-
ton consists Of a plain white enam-
eled cross, having a double golden
setting. The middle shield has in
front golden crown surrounded by
q blue enameled crown, bearing the
inscription, "God with u.s." on the
back is the name Of the royal found
er, W. r., and the date Of the found
ing Of the order, October IS, 1861.
The orders of the first, second and
third class differ only in size. while
the order of the fourth class is not
enameled, and consists of a ample
golden cross.

GOOD SUGGESTION.

The suggestion that the business men Of

fort to gst the Halnes trade diverted to this
city Is pertinent and timely. The fact tina,
work IS about to begin on the military
post At that place and that the work will
be under the supervision Of people who
have become accustomed to doing business
with Skagwlyans, with whom thew are
Acquainted, will help to bring the trade
here. The further fact that Il has been
announced by the secretary Of war that
both the lsrge post that Is now being built
At Halnes, as well as the smaller one that
is 10 be maintained at Sklgway, would
have been located here had Il not been for
the fact that sufficient room could not be
secured. would Indicate that the govern
ment will look with favor upon a close
connection between thlS CIV anl us ouSl-
ness interests and the town at Hines and

located at Hllnes because 4 It's PROXIMITY

as Skagway's post.
