A firm of upholsterers became so
busy that they could no longer keep
pace with the work they had to do, so
they called on little jobbing cabinet
maker and asked him If he would make
half dozen chairs for them by GER
tain date.
The man took the order and lost but
little time in executing 1t and still less
time in obtaining the money for them.
The work, however, turned out to be
failure, and the firm sent for the man
and exposed to his view quite heap
of the various limbs that go to make
chair.
The practical Joiner gave a look of
surprise and proceeded to pick up the
pieces and place them together with
out saying word.
Presently he laid the pieces back
again in heap and, looking at them,
exclaimed in most emphatic manner,
"Why, those chairs must have been sat

The disappearance of Benjamin Bath
urst, kinsman Of Lord Bathurst, has
never been explained. Bathurst was
sent on a secret mission to Vienna at
the time that England before opening
the peninsula campaign, sought to per
suade Austria to declare by way of dis
traction war against France. Austria
soon after crossed the French frontier,
and Bathurst received hints of threat
ened personal doom. Hoping to avoid
examination, he took a northerly route
In returning to England, and on reach
ing Perleberg, in Brandenburg, he WIS.,
tied in his agitation the commandant
Of cuirassiers, requesting that sentries
might mount guard at the inn where
he stopped. These We're supplied, and
Bathurst spent the day in writing and
destroying letters.
Shortly before his carriage came to
the door In the dusk of a November
evening he told some troopers who es
corted him that they might withdraw.
While all the household was on the
alert to see him off he walked beyond
the circle of the lantern glare and was
lost to sight at the head of the horses.
This occurred on Nov. 25, 1909, and
Bathurst was never seen or heard Of
more, Notwithstanding that England
offered f2OO0 reward and Prussia 100
Friedrichs dor for the discovery even
of his remains.

A gentleman calling on an M. p. one
day while waiting in the reception
room was attracted by the manner Of
the small attendant and started ran
dom conversation.
"And how much do you earn a week,
my boy" he inquired.
"Ten pounds" said the youngster
with avidity.
Being shown into the members pri-
vate Office just then, the visitors sur
prise found vent in words.
Mighty bright youth you have there
to be getting f10 week." he remarked.
"Why," said the NJ. p, "he only gets
% shillings."
But he told me just now you were
giving him f10 week." persisted the
gentleman.
Nonsense" said the NJ. p, and he
touched the bell. Billy" he said, "did
you tell this gentleman l was paying
you E10 weekf"

"You didn't? Well, what did you
say?"
Il said l earned it," was the prompt

The Clever Raven.

Most animals are no match at all fot
the ravens cleverness. There was once
a very poor hare that allowed herself
to be completely bamboozled. The ra'
ven pounced at the leveret-as the ba.
bv hare is called-but the mother drove
the rascal away.
But did the raven cease from trou'
bling? Not bit of it. He slowly re-
treated, encouraging the hare to fol
low him up and pretending even that
he was afraid of her. In this fashion
he led the unhappy mother to a consid.
cradle distance from the young one, and
then all of sudden-loDg before the
hare had time to realize the danger OF
the trick-it rose in the air, flew swift
ly back, caught the leveret in its beak
and bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from
dog They teased him till he grew SO
angry that he chased them from the
spot, but the wicked birds turned
sharply around, easily reached the dish
before him and carried off the choicet
bits in triumph.

Ted Ellie was fireman. There was dis
tant thunder; big drops began to pat
ter and the wind raised. A storm was
on.
Jump into the cab. Ted, just fore
we strike the curve" said Doyle below
his breath as he put foot on the engine
step.
Forked fire tore the sky, shattered
telegraph poles and played in blue
flames around the engine wheels as
they sped onward.
A flash Of tremendous voltage, and

dogged, quit answering.
The radius of a circle drawn In chalk

A frame supporting apparatus had
been set opposite by Professor White
of the State university. 1t was con-
nected by wires with the town power
house.
Judge Smithson, members Of the bar
and representatives of the press were
present. Old Graham and his wife
stood by, Throcmorton supporting
them, and Tom Doyle, with Ted, was
much in evidence.
At signal from Professor White an
intense light from the apparatus was
thrown upon the spot.
There was suppressed exclamation

came palmer as the light intensified.

Lighting a Child's Room.

The lighting of the child's room Is u
very important matter from a sanitary
standpoint and also from one of con-
venience. If gas Is the illuminant, it
should never be left lighted longer than
is absolutely necessary. If night light
is required then a little night lamp
should be procured, but even then 1t Is
pity that more mothers do not train
their children to be accustomed to
sleeping in room without light. 1t
is so much more healthful. Where
lamps are in use we far too often see
children squinting because the strong
lamplight is directly in their faces.
Their elders seldom stop to think Of
this from their superior heights. A
light should never be placed so that its
rays flare into child's eyes. One Of
the most prevalent causes for poor eye
sight in young children is this very
negligence on the part Of their elders
to provide shaded lights In rooms where
children are sitting or playing.
