Breaking the Ice.

The youthful hope of the family,
aged eight, ran away from home di-
rectly after luncheon. At nightfall he
was found under a hedge, fast asleep
and brought home by neighbor.
The father and mother were at din
ner when the prodigal returned; but
in order to more effectually punish
him quite ignored him during the en-
tire progress of the meal. The little
one. ate his dinner in uneasy silence,
eying his parents furtively from time
to time. Dinner over, the mother car
ried the dishes to the kitchen and pro-
decided to wash them.
The child, who had remained silent
since his return, saw he must break
the ice, and cast about in his mind for
a way that should at once be effectual
and carry with it a proper rebuke to
his unfeeling parents.
The cat purring in front of the
kitchen stove gave him an idea, and in
the voice and manner of one who has
just returned from journey of many
years and many lands, he sighed loud
ly and said in reminiscent tone:
well, see you have the same old
cat. STRAY Stories.

gaunt and half insane. At last she
went to town and told the lawyers all
about the murder. They secuted her
story and wanted to have her tried for
insanity. She persisted and went about
telling anybody who would listen, but
no one believed the tale to be anything
but the vaporings of a disordered
brain.
At last, after a year Of effort, she
got the county attorney to issue a
warrant for her husband. The sheriff
went to his farm, not believing that
he was guilty, because his reputation
had always been good. But almost as
soon as Cummings saw the officer he
commenced to unburden his mind of
the awful secret which he had carried
three years. II am glad" he said,

Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed but have been
brought to disastrous failure at the
last moment are frequent enough in
the history of industry.
London Answers tells the story of
tin mine in England which might
have yielded fortune but for storm.
3 With the finding of new vein of
ore running out toward the sea, a
new level was driven out below the
water; then it was found that the lode
bent upward too near the sea bottom
for mining to be safely carried on.
Undiscouraged the owner borrowed
money, built a sea wall to cut off the
water, erected pumps and again went
to work. On the sixth day, just as an
enormous mass Of rich ore was being
tapped, a gale came up, ship was
blown upon the wall, which went to
pieces at once. and the sea drove
heavy stones in upon the thin roof OF
the mine. In moment the workings

8 KEPT GUILTY SECRET LONG 4
Tragic Story Unpremedtaed Wellington

#GsskkeD# GGA$<<e6DsassG

N Victor Hugo once gave magnificent
analysis Of the mysterious power
which drives a criminal to confess his
crime. 1t is not necessarily remorse or.
repentance, but demon something
which will not be appeased until the
story Is told to human ears. Even
the criminal who gloats and rejoices
over the blood he has spilled, must
tell someone of the deed. And in the
Cummings case reported from We'll
lington, we have curious example OF
this power.
Cummings killed vixenish servant
girl by throwing broom at her when
he saw her spit In a dish of food
which she was bearing to the break
fast table. The broom went endwise
and struck her In the temple, but 1t
did not render her unconscious. She
seemed to be getting along all right,
but few days later, when the family
was away from home, she suddenly
died. Cummings buried her body in q
cornfeld, but afterward dug it up and
burned 1t in straw stack. The neigh
bors were told that the girl had gone
away She was the daughter of no.
torious woman, formerly Of Yelling
ton, and there was no one to have
much interest in her whereabouts.
Cummings kept his secret for some
months, and then told his wife. Mrs.
Cummings was faithful to him for
ore than a year, but the demon was at

Multi-millionaires get so used to
making money that even in the recre-
atoms of their country life they can
not forbear to follow the same custom,
says the New York Press.
H. Mckay Twombly has a country
place near Caldwell, N. j., which he
calls Floram, after the first two syl-
tables in Florence and Hamilton, the
given names of Mrs. Twombly and
himself. From here he runs milk
route in Summit and Morrison. He is
also deeply interested in the unroman-
tic pig, which he sells both for food
and breeding purposes.
George Vanderbilt has milk route
down at Asheville, too, where he sells
the milk from Biltmore. He has also
woodward in Ashevil!e, which he
keeps supplied by the thinning of the
woods on the place. Biltmore is left
largely in its pristine wildness, ex-
cept along the drives, where are plant.
ed the trees and the shrubs of the Ar
boretum, which is in time to contain
every species that will flourish in that
climate.
