picks together as in the accompanying

then form a framework which may be

should be taken in making this frame
work not to break the toothpicks, for

Then make the figure of a little

QUEER PROPOSALS MADE BY

Charles Kruger's proposal in mid-air

PATHOS IN CAREERS OF
HORACE GREELEY AND FATHER

and would doubtlessly have been
turned into hopeless tramp If it had
not been for his innate virtue and
patience. Of. course, the worst of
his troubles ended when his son Ho-
race came to mans estate; although
the boy, with one unsuccessful news
paper venture following another, long
promised to duplicate his fathers
career. Naturally, Horace managed
to ease his fathers declining years.
He was ever a dutiful son.
Perhaps his own career instanced,
as much as his fathers, the helpless
ness of that thistleblow, man, before
the winds of fate. In some ways bril-
liantly successful, in other and i'm
portant ways dismally unsuccessful,
possessing characteristics and abili-
ties that made him feared as well as
loved, rising almost to the pinnacle
of earthly honor for an American,
Greeley felt himself at last scorned
by his countrymen, and died of a
broken heart.
In Horace Greeley there was a good
deal of his badly buffeted father after
all. The farm place near Cory may
be remembered for Zaccheus Gree
ley's sake; and of course, poor FAC
cheus would never have been remem-
bered at all but for his gifted and
noble son.-New York Mail and Ex-

LOVER BECAME VICTIM Or
HIS OWN SUCCESSFUL TRICK

A Boston man came across the fol-

Gen. Butler the other day, and it

of that old saying, "The boy is father
of the man." that it is worth repeat

Maine.
The race was very even, and for
a long time the issue was In doubt.
But one day the maiden told the
three rivals that, if they would all
come on certain evening, she would
give them her answer.
The future lawyer, fearing that he
did not stand so nigh in the maiden's
graces as the others, saw a chance
for the exercise of his wit. Strategy
alone would win the day.
On one side of a river lived the
.tlamsel, and about opposite on the
other side boarded the anxious low

The river was bridged at but one
point, and that was in the center Of
the village, nearly mile from these
houses. But some workmen had fell

stream, and on this Bridge of Signs
the lovers were wont to wend their

Five Rubs All You Are Allowed,

rive 0OpS All you are Allowed.
A simple but amusing little trick is
to rub out twenty marks in five rubs,
stopping every time on an odd num-
Der.
This little diversion is particularly
suited to recess time at school, where
the blackboard is handy, but it may
also be done on a slate.
First, you make row of marks, one
under the other, and number them, as
shown in the accompanying picture.
Then you challenge those who are
watching you to do the rubbing as
has been said, letting an odd number
be the last one every time, five rubs
to complete the task.
Now, unless you have somebody in
the company who is wide awake and
quick witted, they will all begin to
calculate how in the world they can
begin at the top and succeed in doing
what you have proposed. Some boy,
perhaps will take up the eraser, and
confidently rub out. the first marks,
stopping on five, for that is an odd
number, he will say, and therefore all
right Then he will begin to get puz.

him to ten, which is not an odd mum.

Presently there was the sound of an

Ben winked the other eye, and
gazed complacently at the gay white
