Tho Cause of the Trolley.

On one point the American is deter
mined; he will not live near his work,
says Charles NJ. Skinner in the Allan
tic. You shall see him in the morn
ing, one Of 60 people in car built for
"a, reading his paper, clinging to a
strap, trodden, jostled, smirched,
thrown into narrowing relations with
men who drink, chew tobacco, eat raw
onions, and incontinently breathe; and
after 80 minutes of this contact. with
the roar Of streets in his ears, with
languiI clerks and pinguid market
women leaning again. him, he arrives
at his office. The problems of his
howeward journey in the evening will
be still more difficult, because, in ad-
dition to the workers, the cars must
carry the multitude of demoiselles
who shop and go to matinees. To
many men and women of business a
seat Is an undreamed luxury. Yet,
they would be insulted if one were to
ask why they did not live over their
shops, as Frenchmen do. or back of
them, like Englishmen. 1t is this un-
easy instinct of Americans. this desire
of their families 10 separate industrial
and social life. that makes the use of
the trolley car imperative. and the
street railway in this manner widens
the life and dominion Of the people, it
enables them to distribute themselves
over wider spaces and unwittingly to
symbolic the expansivencss of the
nation.

A New Question Gnme.

Captains are chosen, and they in
turn choose sides, as in an old fash
ioned spelling match. A timelleeper
is also chosen, one r2s watch with
secular second hand. The two sides
sit opposite each other in two long
rows. The timekeeper sits between
the two rows, at the end decided upon
as the head, and he holds his watch
open before him. The captain sits at
the head of his row and asks the first
question Any one on the other side
may answer the question, but it must
be answered inside of a minute. If no
one answers before the minute is mp
the timekeeper calls "Time!" and the
captain who asked the question calls
any one from the other side to his
side. If, on the other hand, the other
side answer before the minute is up,
they call one from the captain who
asked the question. Any one may be
chosen from either side except the
captain. Then the captain on the 9th
er side asks a question, and the same
rule is followed, then the one next to
the captain who first asked ques-
ton asks question, his opposite fol-
lows with question, and so on until
every one on both sides has asked
question. Then the side that has the
most on it is victorious.
No one must ask question he or
she cannot answer. And if the, other
side fail to answer a question the one
that asked it must give the correct
answer. The questions must be
such as "Who was the seventh
president of the United States?" or
"dow many legs has house fly?" or
"Who was the author of Snow
bound'?" or What president owned
a home called Montlcelo?" or "How
much is eight times nineteen?" Any
boy who asks a question which he
cannot answer himself, or who asks
a question which has more than one
answer, must go himself to the oppo-
site side. The ones, that are called
over go to the foot of the class.-New
York Tribune.

Calling Out Members.

place In the way we call out num-

lookout for the more novel things Of;
life, "and 1t has completely reyolu-

example: Time was when no man
would think Of saying anything but
one thousand five hundred and. forty
six. He would use seven distinct
words In calling out the number. This
rule is still observed IN the schools
but outside the schoolroom one rarely
hears it called out after the old
fashion. If 1t is q street number, a
telephone number or any other par.
ticular place or thing designated by
number we will simply call 1t fifteen

In words? Here we use only three
words, instead Of seven, as of old: II
saves breath and saves time, and any.
thing that saves time is the proper
caper these days. Time Is the great
element now. If the number should
happen to be 1,090, instead Of using
four words in saying one thousand
and ninety, we dismiss the number
with two words by simply saying ten

called numbers after this fashion just

been understood at all. If you call

Cat on the Pnlroll.

Ten dollars "for food for the post
office cat" is. perhaps, the most curl
ous allowance made by former Post
master General Smith. In the post
office in ST. Paul, Mimi, is cat that
has endeared itself to the employees,
not alone by. It's gentle ways, but by
it's ability to catch the rodents which
infest the place. The postoffice in st.
Paul Is an old affair, and great caution
has to be taken with the mails to pre-
vent their being nibbled by the rats
and mice.
Many efforts have been made to
get cat that would appreciate its
official position and work in the inter-
ests of the government, but all failed
until finally cat came that evidently
meant business. She was, however,
enticed to a neighboring building,
where though the atmosphere was
less aristocratic, the fare was better
Numerous other specimens of the
feline race came, tried the position Of
government rat killer and left, appar-
emily dissatisfied with the existing
pay roll.
The mails did not contain eatables,
and a strict diet of rodents was not to
their taste. Any self-respecting cat
demanded an appetizer in the shape
CT milk or cream.
Finally, the present incumbent ap-
rea1eL and has given such general
sa- sfaction that the government has
made & special requisition in its favor,
and it will be supplied with all the del
iclcies of the season. This is one of
TIE few instances where a cat has
been placed on the payroll of Uncle
Sam.

No doubt because of the grandeur of
the thunderstorm, the brilliant flashes
of the lightning and the. loud noise of
the thunder, the large majority of the
human race is timid and nervous and
stands in fear of lightning. Notwith-
standing the common belief that light
ming is very dangerous, the total num-
ber of persons killed in 3 given sum-
mer in this country is extremely small
in comparison with the population.
The number also varies largely from
year to year, the last year having
witnessed an unusual number of
deaths from this cause. The general
average seems to be about one death
to 100000 of the population each sum-
mer from lightning. Thousands of
people struck by lightning have been
allowed to die for lack of attention.
The rule is that artificial respiration
should be brought about at once. The
clothes should be loosened and the
well-known movements of the arms
and chest made to bring about natural

Probable Literary Speculation.

Prices paid in the book auction
rooms OF New York and London throw
strange light on the 'agaries of col
lectors. A fine calf pound set of the
old classics is knocked down for few
cents volume, while the first edition
fiends boost bids into the hundreds Of
dollars on a tiny pamphlet of Kip
ling's schoolboy verses. The man who
can guess the popular taste Of ten
years hence has chance TO realize
thousands on present investment of
a couple of dollars. He has only to
pick out the fiedgeling poet Of today
who will be in the first rank in 1912
and lay in a couple Of copies Of each
of his works, not ignoring even the
tiniest of pamphlets. His reward will

Grandpa saw the two little girls
walking toward the cherry tree.
"Don't pick my cherries" said he,
sharply. as he hurried into the house.
The little girls looked soberly at
,each other, then at the beautiful cher
ry tree.

and so managed to scramble at last
upon the large branches. Here they
sat, swinging tneir feet and singing
for several happy minutes. But above
them, high in the tree, the cherries
looked red, much redder than they
looked from the ground.
Il tell you what" said Beatrice, lets
climb up to that bough yonder and we
can reach up and eat cherries like
robbins do. Then Grandpa will never
know. l think Grandpa is selfish"
Jessie looked first at Beatrice and
then at the cherries. "He is selfish"
she said, and the two girls climbed
higher and soon were pulling down
the twigs with their shining fruit.
1t was slow work for the eager little
mouths to eat the pulp and leave the
pits and stems on the twigs, but they
ate great many cherries. The breeze
blew the branch out of their reach
and stretching up to catch it one girl
lost her footing and fell against the
other. The slender branch snapped
and down through the boughs they
crashed to the ground.
"Oh, oh, OH" they screamed. I'm
most killed." walled Beatrice.
my foot is all broke to pieces!"
cried Jessie. They could not rise for
pain.
Grandpa ran to them. "Oho, see"
said he. sternly, but after helping Be-
atrice to the house he carried Jessie

more than a week.
When Jessie came to see Beatrice
for the first time after the accident
the two little girls sat soberly on the
porch. They looked at the beautiful
cherry tree with Its broken limb.
II don't want to play robbin, do

NO" said Beatrice, "and l don't
want cherries when Grandpa says
not They were not ripe"

Jessie.
"No, indeed" assented Beatrice.
They looked at the tree and gave a
great sigh.

Puggles.

Puggles' home is in Italy, in a
clergyman's family, and he is the very
prettiest pug" that ever was.
He always went in to dinner with
the family, and after the plates were
removed from the last course and cof-
fee was served, he would mount the
table from his usual cozy place in the
lap of his mistresss pape, and grave
ly seating himself, would eat bit of
sugar and lap some coffee.
One day, while party of ladies and
gentlemen were taking their coffee,
Puggles' mistress took piece of cake
of which he is very fond, and laid a
morsel before him, saying, "Stolen!"
Puggles' nose was instantly elevat-
ed in the air, and he sat like a statue
until she said, Paid for" when he at
once snapped it up.
Then she laid a bit down, saying,
Monday we eat" He ate. She put
another crumb before him, saying,
tuesday we eat" and he licked it
up. "wednesday we snake hands.
He shook hands and ate Wednesdays
piece. Thursday we eat" He ate.
Friday is solmen fast" Up went
Puggles' nose, and be became still as
a stone until his mistress said. Sat
urday we eat" when he at once ate
up Fridays portion.
Sunday we eat double, laying
down two bits, and he ate them,
amidst the noisy approval of all, while
Puggles sat quite unconcerned.
The performance was repeated, but
as the young lady said, Tuesday we
eat," and Puggles' head was going
down to the coveted piece of cake, a
gentleman said, "Stolen!" Puggles's S
head went up, so he said, paid for, "
and Puggles took his honestly OBJ
tanned sweets-Youth's Companion.
