A TaIisman of Brass.

An old log house, stuck on the slope
of West Virginia hill, and corn
field, which looked as though it might,
at any time, slip off into the valley be-
low, was the heritage which fell to
Sarah Mccoy and her daughter Eliza
beth upon the death of the husband
and father, Henry Stonewan Mccoy.
Had his bequest been of a more pre-
tentious nature Elizabeth and Jim
Gardner, long since betrothed, would
not, in all probability, have been sit

The beauty OF the night did not ap-

the humble family burying ground in
its depths, from which arose a shaft

Clever Trick Did Not Work

A printer on one of the Philadelphia
morning newspapers recently took a
might off" in a small game of poker
and finished winner by SIS. When
he cashed he received his money in
"cart-wheels." He knew his wife was
not averse to searching his pockets
when he slept late O. mornings; and,
fearing the jingle of the silver pieces
would lead her into temptation, he
slipped a dollar under the carpeting
of each step as he climbed the stairs
to his bedroom. When he arose for
breakfast and dressed he remembered
his precaution on homecoming.
and quietly chuckled as he
prepared to make profitable
descent to breakfast. AS he
stepped on the landing in front of
his bedroom door his shoes rang out
on bare boards. and, glancing down,
he saw the stairs stripped of carpet.
His wife had begun her spring house
cleaning.

around the base of hill. She could
see the driver urging his jaded beasts
over the rough, broken road until a
bend in its course, and thicket, hid
them from view.
He did not reappear and she was
wondering If an accident had occurred
when, from the very spot she was
watching, shaft of dirt, stones and
parts of a buggy shot high into the
air, followed Immediately by an explo-
sion so loud and terrific that it seemed
the hills must be torn from their rock
foundations. The wagon-load of
treacherous nitro-glycerine had ex-
ploded, an occurrence not uncommon
in the oil-fields.
AS she sat, dazed and bewildered,
watching the flying debris fall to the
earth, an object dropped at her feet.
She stopped and picked it up-a brass
button, blackened and bent.
That evening Liz .discerned a famil-
lar figure approaching the house. She
stoop, but, as it drew near, said quiet
ly:
Hello, jim"
Hello, Liz
when did We get back?"
''T'day."
"Jim?"
"what?"
Here's yer button"
Thank ye." (Pause.) Lowed I'd
lost it. Left my coat on the wagon

A long silence.
"'Low we kin marry now, Liz"
"'Low we kim" Another pause, and
then:
"When?"
''T'morrow, I low"
"All right. Goodnight, Liz"

AIIiaators in Furious FIaht.

Big Nose and Little Billie, alliga
tors whose first names denote their
sizes, had the liveliest kind of a fight
in the reptile house in the New York
Geological park a few nights ago
Big Nose started the trouble by go

fight that followed smashed the par.

crocodile pens and tore up things
generally.
Curator Ditmars and keeper SEP

Both the alligators were cut about
the head, but not seriously. Little Bill
lie was out of his class as far as
weight went, but the keeper thought

How Great Temperance Orator
Squelched a Smarty.

Squelched a Smarty.
An effort of one of John B. Coughs
tours of the west was to arouse his
converts to a political movement in
favor of prohibition; and in several
states the politicians began to give
consideration to the cry. The distil-
lers and liquor dealers are said to
have been 80 frightened that they
employed men to follow the lecturer,
sit among the audience and enedavor
to confound him with questions. He
had worked a Topeka, Kan, audience
up to fine pitch of excitement, and,
in his effective manner, cried:
Temperance! temperance! Tenn
perance!!l 1t will mean money i'll

happiness in your home, and God in
your hearth"
Up leaped one of the paid inter-
rupters and shouted to the audience:
Money in our pockets! Why, fell
and we'll be all in the poorhouse!
Think of the fields of tasseled corn
that stretch on every side! Whisky is
made from corn. We sell millions of
dollars worth of corn to the whisky
makers. Stop the manufacture Of
whisky, and what1l we do?'
Then turning to Cough. he went on:
you, Mr.. Smarty-what1l we do?
Tell us, if prohibition comes, what'll
we do with our corn?"
Raise more hogs. my friend" re-
piled Cough, without seconds hest
tation-'raise more hogs!"

OF the DeathIike Stiffness Following
the Stopping of Clock at Night.
Ever hear a clock stop in the mid
die of the night?" said the retired
burglar. 81 did, once, and never was
much more scared by anything, for a
minute, in my life.
I'D just picked up watch that was
layin' on the top of bureau in a
house that l was in when all OF a sud-
den there seemed to drop right down,
somehow, stiffness that was like
death; and l found myself standing
there holding that watch and looking
around in the dark in all directions
expecting something terrible to hap
pen; and scared?
why, for a minute l was scared al
most out of my senses. And then all
of a sudden it struck me that a clock
I'd been hearing ticking away good
and strong up to that minute in the
room back of the one l was in had
stopped.
That's all, but that was enough for
me, and 1 just slid out.
81 like quiet house, but l don't
like one with that kind of stiffness in
it; and then, sometimes folks are woke
up by a clock stopping just about as
quick as they could be by the firing
of gun"

an end. For 300 years it has shroud-

A coronation visitor to London from

the prevailing impression that Lord
Kitchener is proof against the beauty

means of obtaining military intelli-

rRoNrNo a sn1nr wA1sr.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water ald a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits In
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each enc with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
