A Little Too Enthusiastic,

One of the many things Prof. Brew
er is interested in is the Agricultural
experiment station maintained by the
state of Connecticut in the outskirts
of New Haven. One day the professor
took his sons through the place. ex-
planning to them the different pieces
of apparatus. They were particular rly
interested in a certain machine de-
signed to smoke cigars automatically,
whereby the finest ash possible is OBJ
tanned and analyzed.
Il noticed that the boys were at
tracted by this machine and explained
it to them carefully" said the pro-
fessor, recently. Il thought no more
about it, however, until one Sunday l
found our house full of smoke. And
what do you suppose? Bless me if
those boys hadn't rigged up a similar
machine in the attic and were color
ing a lne erschaum pipe!"

Paris Eating Houses,

Paris has been described as a gigan.
tic mouse trap with three doors la
heled, respectively. hotel cafe, res
taurant. The city has about 10000 ho-
tells; there are restaurants in every
block; and you can find cafes at al
most every step. At almost any res
tnurant you are sure to good cooking.
You can eat well anywhere and at any
price. There are scores of places
where the meals cost as high as in
the better restaurants of New York,
and hundreds where you can get a
very fair dinner for so cents. or il
you would have wine, for 10 cents ad-
ditional. There is one stock company
which does an enormous business in
supplying cheap and good food for
Parisians. 1t was founded by a butch
er who has his shops still in different
parts of the city. This company has
100 or more restaurants where yon can
always be sure of good service and
good food. You pay for what you eat
and pay for everything, but the prices
are low.

The summer days passed swiftly,

he known how he suffered by com.

were becoming.
But on Sunday he came in holiday
attire, and drove up after dinner with
as he said, the best single rig he
could get at the livery to take Helen
driving. They. drove to the falls along
the pretty lower road. each feeling
the constraint of an important ques

Tom, being more nervous, talked

He was fine big fellow. a college
man, they said. 1t seems she was
much older than he and not his sort
but anyway. he'd married her, and
she'd nagged him ever since. and fin
ally she said something about his
mother, and he struck her.-she fell
against something, and died later
from the effects. Meanwhile he got
away. Last week the detectives got

last few days he's been seen poking
about the bushes near the track, and
early yesterday morning he came into
town to post letter. They tracked
him into the woods. where he'd been
hiding. but he eluded them and put
out into the lake in a canoe. A little
way out the boat struck sunken
spar and sank. He knew how to swim
but they think he was hurt by the
spar, for after few strokes he went
down. They brought him back into
the village. dead, and there wasn't a
thing in his pockets but a withered
rose. He had not at all a bad face,
but it's queer what a man will do
when he's reused isn't it?"
But Helen was silent and looking
into her pale face Tom exclaimed in

VIII Use Improved Coal Chute.

Arrangements are being made by
the Union Pacific to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars in improve
ments in coaling stations all over its
system. and the adoption of a new
coal chute whereby one man can do
the work that formerly needed the
services of a dozen. A trial of the
new chute has been made in Lexing
ton. Nebraska. and has proved it's
worth. w. E. Wilmer of the coal de-
partment. has just returned from a
tour of inspection in Nebraska and
southern Colorado. and reports favor
ably on the working Of the new chutes.
1t is understood that in all thirty coal
ing stations in the Union Pacific sys-
TEN will be equipped with the new
chute within a year, and that 1000
new coal dump cars of seventy-five-
ton capacity will be ordered built. The
first one installed in Colorado will be
built at Julesburg.

And so she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin,
And fell In many a shred:
Some went to bind the soldiers wounds
And some to shroud the dead
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw,
And violets blossom. planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose

Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.

Across 1t to and fro

Helen Harvey was to spend her va
cation at her aunt's cottage in She
boygan, where the wash of old Lake
Michigan should take the place in her
ears of the buzz of department
store.
She was full of anticipation as she
sat in the northbound train. Two whole
weeks to be out of doors and free,
and Tom was coming up by Sun
day.
Dear old Tom. She thought of
Decoration Day, when he had told her
his dream of fitting up little fiat
and making a home for her. some
day.
She had given him no answer as
yet. but had promised to decide be-
fore Sunday.
He was her kind friend, but like
many other young girls she still
waited for the hero of her dreams.
and started out on her little outing
with all kinds of delightful possibili-
ties in her mind of meeting the un-
known.
Meanwhile Tom stood behind the
counter and measured off laces. and
ate cheap lunches that he might buy
n box of Allegretti's for Sunday even
ing.
Helen tried to read but enjoyed
more looking out at the dense
woods through which they were
passing. Suddenly she was minded
to look at her purse and see
II her trunk check and the two crisp
five-dollar bills which she had bought
for return fare and extra expense
were safe.
The check had slipped out of sight.
and in searching for it she held the
bills between her fingers.
The train turned a sharp curve Just
then, and a strong current of air
swept the car. Instantly the money
fluttered from her fingers and out of
the open window.
Passengers and trainmen were kind
and sympathetic. and the conductor
gave her stop over check at the next
station, that she might walk back and
look for the money and come on by
a later train.
She remembered that 1t was Just at
the curve, and the conductor said it
was about two miles back so she had
some hope of finding it.
But the tears would come as she
thought of the precious money, SO
hard to earn and SO hard to save, and
of how she must write home for
more.
In spite of her trouble she was in.

scene to stop to pick some wild roses

tice gathering storm until it burst
upon her.
The only thing to do was to push
through the underbrush and seek
shelter in the dense woods. Among
the pines 1t was almost dry. and her
footsteps were noiseless on the carpet
of needles.
A little way in she stopped startled

The fire blazed cozily. and the man

called queen before. but she liked
it.
Disappearing for a few minutes he

cooked the fish deftly over the blaze.
and Helen produced from her lunch

which he exclaimed with unfeigned
delight. Such n merry meal 1t was,
and before Helen knew it she was
telling all about herself. 1t is so easy

Then most ! pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes
AS stars look the sea!
For thoughts. like waves that glide by

Mine earthly love lies hushcd in light
Beneath the heaven of thine.
There is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men.
When coarser souls are wrapped in
sleep
Sweet spirit, meet me then!
There is an hour when holy dreams
Through sumber faircst glide.
And in that mystic hour II seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
My thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylights common beam;

My angel and my dream:

As stars look the sea!
