The nine-year-old daughter of we'll
TODD Towanda parents recently had an
elaborate celebration of her birthday
anniversary, and invited all her sister,
pupils in the Sunday-school class to
which she belonged, says a Philadel-
phia paper. Among the number was a
bright little girl whose family was IA
mously poor, and who for that reason
vas not treated as social equal by
other children of her age. But she
looked so pretty in her new frock, in
spite of the patent cheapness of the
material, that she won the admira ton
and attention of the adults present.
The other little girls, envious, deter
mined to shame her, and, calling her
into the group, began talking about
the various nice things in their homes.
When they had finished the enumera-
ton, one said:
Now, Mary, tell us what nice things
you have in your house"
We'll, papa is not rich, you know"
answered Mary; 80, we don't have .
whole lot. But we've got something
none of you has, I'll bet!"
Whats that. Mary?" came in eager
chorus.
why, we've got skunk out under
the barn with five little ones!"

The Old Syyimming-HoIe.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
We have bathed in the warm, clear
waters where the Indian healed
his pain:
We have plunged in glee to the wave
tossed sea and have dived in the
salty main:
But memory ever takes us back, with
longing in our soul
To jump once more as in days of yore
i'll our boyhood's swimming hole!
Twas just below the high trestle, and
as the trains passed near
We waved wild hands from the warm
shore sands and gave them a
lusty cheer.
Happy young rascals were we then,
playing a thoughtless role:
For never a care could reach US there
at the dear old swimming-hole!
The big boys dived from the trestle,
some ten feet high or more,
While the young ones dropped, feet
first, or hoped from the old
springboard on shore:
And oh, the thrill of that moment when
our first high dive was made
From the trestle's height in the envi-
Gus sight of the others who were
afraid
How we'll we had noted the danger
the spot where the barbed wire
lay;
The glass-strewn place, and the jagged
face of the rock where the big
crabs stay;
Over there in the sunken log: and
here's where the blood-sucker
lies:
On the other bank where the weeds
grow rank We're the snakes, and
the singing flies.
But oh. we would love these dangers
could we only meet them to-day!
III we could cheer when the trains
passed near and shout in the boy
hood way,
In spite Of the great green ocean there's
longing in our soul
10 dive once more as In days OF
yore ia the dear old swimming
holel

1t may be said of P. T. Barnum
tnat he was the major domo or lord
OF laughter and fun, the protean dis
penser of amusement, says Joel Ben
ton in the Century How we'll he be-
came known through this function one
curious incident certifies. Some years
before he died, an obscure person in
some remote part of Asia wrote a let
ter, which he dropped in the postof-
nee near him, directed to Mr.. Bar
mum, America" The letter reached it's
destination without an hours delay
The great Snowman unaffectedly en-
joyed being known from the very be-
ginning of his celebrity; and when he
found his celebrity was a tremendous
factor in his success he did everything
that he could think of to extend the
explorations of his name. This was
not to nourish vain imaginings or be-
cause he felt exalted; it was to pro-
mote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn, he was fond of put
ting something that suggested show.
Queerly marked cattle the sacred COW,
or an elephant, were frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in blowing on the sloping hill
where it could plainly be seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, an agricultural in
novation that he knew would get no.
tice of some sort in every newspaper
in the country. 1t was even said that
he received letters from farmers far
and wide asking how much hay one
elephant ate, and if it was more profit
able to plow with an elephant than
with horses or oxen. His replies were
invariably frank, and were of this pur-
port: If you have a large museum in
New York, and a great railroad sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performances, it will pay,
and pay we'll; but if you have no such
institution, then horses or oxen will
prove more economical.

Jan Kubelik, the boy violinist who
recently made $12O, 900 in ten months
in this country. is said to be in Prague
practically penniless. Lots of sensa-
tional stories have been. told about how
the money went; one being that his
manager was a Svengali and hypno-
tized the boy, another that unwise
speculation had impoverished him, and
third that Kubelik in youthful gen.
crosby had given. away his fortune to
all who asked money of him. In all
likelihood the young fellow knows
where the money went, and knew it at
the time it was going. However, there
is plenty more where that came from,
hence we may see Kubelik coming
back with his fiddle under his arm
next fall.

Does the top of the carriage wheel
revolve faster than the bottom? The
query is as old as the hills, and has
been threshed over by every genera
ton since Noah, in all probability; but
it has just come up again in Chicago.
Snapshot photographs were taken of
the locomotive drawing the twenty
hour train between that city and New
York at a time when the train was
running at the rate of 1O3 miles an
hour. The pictures show the lower
half of the driving wheels with each
spoke clearly delineated, as If the
wheel were at rest; but the upper
half Of each wheel is a mere blur, so
rapidly were the spokes moving.

Some weeks ago, when beef prices
were booming and people were kick
ing, a shrewd manufacturer of cereal
food products decided that the time
was opportune for him to push his
goods. He wished to create a demand
quickly; to reach the people at once,
and in the most effective way. He
says: "Sampling had been overdone,
demonstrations served only to feed
people who visit a store, billboards
were worthless, the magazine were too
SLOW" So he turned to the daily news
papers. The results, he says, were
better than we had anticipated" and
adds: 1.-THE daily newspaper is an
ever growing force and has practical
ly killed all other means of advertis-
ing. Even for reaching the farmers
it is better than any other agency"

Beautiful Young Woman Seated ON Q
Bronze Chair.
At Bosco Reale. near Naples. an in
teresting group of Pompeian houses
has Just been uncovered and the stu
dent Of painting is astonished to find
flgure-work there reminding him more
of fourteenth-century than of first
century endeavors. In one of tho
most striking of these figures a young
woman is seated on a bronze chair. q
chair of singularly beautiful form.
She is playing the Tyre. Her features
and expression are pleasing and viva
cious. Her hair is curled and she
wears a white robe. She curiously
holds her instrument with the right
hand and plays with the left. Behind
the chair q young girl is standing,
probably a maid. From her express
sion and from her position. we sup
pose that she is listening with inter
est to the music Of her mistress. This
composition is one of much simplicity
and naturalness, and 1t seems to have
been done, not by many, but by few
strokes-by the frankness and sure
ness of the hand of a master, Signor
Baldassare Odescalchi. Senator of the
Kingdom Of Italy. has recently writ
ten an interesting article on these dis
coveries for the "Nuova Antologia,"
and voices the surprise of all that such
harmonious composition, such correct
design, and such remarkable colouring
could have existed and yet not have
been better known. Until the other
day 1t was supposed that the frescoss
at Pompeii itself represented the high
est form OF art of the period.
