A New His torical Novelist.

A leading novelist of Billville has
submitted to us the opening chapters
of a historical novel he is writing,
from which we take the following as
a sample of his style:
"Three miles, or better, from Great
City, a man might have been seen re-
clining on a dead log from which h.
had frightened an alligator that had
been summing himself there for. two
hours, or maybe three. 1t had started
out to be a Spring morning, but had
changed its mind, and at the time our
story opens-at quarter to 10 O. H.,
to be exact-a blizzard was blowing
from Chicago, or perhaps from st.
Louis, at the rate of forty miles an
hour. The weather in that region was
never the same two hours in the day.
1t was also quite variable in the night.
and even in the early spring, or in the
late spring, the wise man took his
overcoat with him; also his snowshoes,
if he had any. But this chapter has
grown too long. In the next one it
will be found how our hero weatherel

before the reader, feet in his stock

FUN TRAVELLING WITH A RINGER
Quickly Made Heap of Money Out of
HOmelY But SpeadY Nag.

QUICKLY Made Heap of Money Out of
Homely But Speedy Nag.
Il was up to thing or two before
l. became a living example of integrity
to my fellow man." said the old ex-
sport, as he gathered a knot of lis
teners about him, land one of those
things was horse racing. After having
met with ill luck for two or three
seasons I went in with a friend and
bought fairly good trotter He was
so good that he could hit 1922 when
pushed little, and the fun of it was
that he was as homely as a camel.
There wasn't one man in a hun
dred who took him for mover, aud
that was one Of our strong points. We
took him west and got up races in
the small towns and many a time he
won us $500 without showing better
than a 2:30 clip. While l acted as
driver my partner got up the side bets,
and we left a trail of victims behind
us. We had about $4,000 to the good
at the end of six months, and then
opened a new season out in a Kansas
town. Four or five good horses were
owned there, and it didn't take much
bluffing to get up match. When the
fellows came to look our nag over they
offered odds of 10 to 1 against him,
and before the, bell rang we had our
last dollar up.
1T saddens me to recollect that in
cident,'' continued the ex-sport mourn
fully, according to the Detroit Free
Press. II was guyed and hooted as
drove in on the track, and bets were
offered that I couldn't make better
than three minutes. There were four
horses in the bunch and we got away
together. Half way around, without
doing better than 2:30, I was six
lengths ahead and still gaining. Then,
of sudden, the old horse stopped,
reared up and came down to tumble
over dead. Just what allied him I new
er found out, but he lost us over $12,-

studying Tree Buds.

It will be found intensely interest
ing to study the nature of the winter
buds of various trees as they prepare
to unfold in the spring. They should
be taken under observation just be-
fore they actually open, when they
are being excited by the warmth OF
the season.
Most large, scaly buds will reveal
their complete history for the coming
season as relates the growth They
will be found to contain miniatures
of leaves and stems-in some cases
the flowers, too.
The scales of leaf coverings also
have interest for the observer in their
varying forms. The horse chestnut
has a coating of a sticky substance. as
though to keep out the elements.
Others will have velvety coverings
like cloaks to keep them warm and
dry.
Some buds will cover flowers only,
and these may be made to introduce
spring by their being cut on branches,
placed in water and stood in a warm,
sunny window. The fuzzy buds Of
elms should be among the observed.

A Good Twin Story.

Now that 1.-THE Twin Sister" has
made a big hit at one of the Broadway
theaters, it may be we'll to repeat a
story that Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff told
at dinner recently. It was of man
who invited a friend home to dinner
with him and there introduced him to
his wife, an accomplished, beautiful
young woman, and to her twin sister,
who was her living image, and who
appeared equally charming to this Wis
itor. He was talkative and entertain
ing at the table, but when he and his
host had adjourned to the library to
enjoy a cigar, he became silent and
thoughtful. His host rallied him, and
he finally admitted that he had some
thing on his mind that greatly puz-
zled him. Pressed to reveal it he blurt-
ed out:
Bill, you've got charming vile.
She's :>retty as a picture. affectionate,
full of spirits and regular queen IN
every way. But her sister is equally
charming, equally pretty and witty,
and they look exactly alike. What
bothers me is how in the dickens do
you tell them apart?"
II don't mind telling you" replied
his host with the utmost seriousness,

"A EOme- Made Magic Lantern.

Those boys and girls who are not the
happy owners of magic lantern will
be interested to know that almost tie
same results may be obtained will,
materials that may be very easily cj-
tanned. They consist of the white
cioth-or paper will answer-upon
Which the pictures are thrown, of
mirror, candle and some paper
figures.
Equally simple is the performance.
having stretched the cloth against a
wall in darkened room, set lighted
candle opposite to it on a table, with
book or similar object intervening,
SO that the light will not directly
strike the cloth, but keep it in COM
parative darkness. Then hold the mir
ror sideways before the candle at such
an angle that the reflection Of it Will
be thrown on the cloth. You have thus.
secured the slide itself, square or
round as the form of the mirror may
lie. 1t yet remains to introduce Tie,
picture. This is easily done You must
only hold a paper figure between the
candle and the glass, and its shadow
on the mirror, reflected on the cloth,
gives in silhouette the form of the pa
per.
Moving it forward between the.
candle and the glass, the figure will
appear to walk more or less leisurely,
or regular promenade may be ar
ranged with two or more figures NOV
ing in opposite directions Other
motions will readily suggest them
selves to the Imaginative mind.
1t is, however, necessary to remem-
Der that the picture show in silhoutte
only, so that only the outlines of the
paper can be depended upon to give
shape and form.

gold at the end of the rainbow, just at
sunset. Being long way from home,
he decided to hide it until morning,
and return for it, so he carefully
placed it under the limbs of the Sleep
ing poplar, says Home and Flowers.
Iris missed the pot of gold, and sent
Mercury, the wind messenger, to look
for it. He asked the trees if they had
seen it, and the elm, oak and pine
pointed straight out to the poplar,
saying: 1.-THE poplar knows! the pop
lar knows!" Il know" exclaimed the
poplar. why, how should I know"
and she held up her limbs in SURPRISE
Down fell the pot of gold, much to the
porlar's establishment, for it was a
very honest tree. So she stretched her
limbs high above her head, declaring
that she would always hold them so,
that the sun god might see that she
had nothing to conceal OF course, the
other trees laughed at such an unus-
ual procedure, but she taught all the
little poplar trees to stand in the same
upright and fearless way, and they
we're ever afterward loved and re-
spected by all.

How narrow our fear
Zach day is the best
OF somebody's year!"
-Plttsburg Methodist-Recorder.
