Ancient King in ArmOr,

King Francis I. of France, who
reigned about the middle Of Che six
teenth century, dressed himself elab-
Orately for the battle of Pavia, when
he expected to win, and Hereby to
become the master of Italy. An old
chronicle says: "The king of France
in his armor went about from
squadron to squadron and he wore
over his mail surcoat of brocade
and brown velvet checquer wise, with
many F's embroidered thereon in vel
vet on the brocade and in brocade on
the velvet and with cords of gold and
brown silk. On his helmet he wore
great yellow and brown plume, the
feathers dropping down to the horses
tanks, and from the midst rose
brown pennon with red salamander,
having above it a great gilt F and
around it the words This time and no
more This motto he bore because
he thought on that day certainly to
make himself lord of Italy" How
ever, he lost the battle and was taken
prisoner.

His First Dress Suit.

"The first time / ever put on dress
suit said eX-Gov. Schofeld, was at
the reception and ball which followed
in the evening of the day that I was
inaugurated. / remember that we
had to stand on a little platform,
raised few inches from the floor,
while the crowd passed along and
shook hands with Mrs. Schofeld and
myself.
II weighed just 96 pounds at that
time, and was as thin as a match.
Mrs. Schofeld is a feshy woman, and
as looked at her during lull in the
procession and then sized up my own
diminutive anatomy, 1 whispered to
her:
Martha, we must look like the
living skeleton and the fat woman
in the dime museum to these people!
''That settled Mrs. Schofeld for the
balance of the evening, and to save
herself she could not get rid of the
ripple of mirth that would sweep over
her face and break out into peals of
laughter as the Righteousness of the
situation appealed to her."-Mil-

any OInSI CITY. IL
was in this city that the servant
girls union was born; it is also re-
sponslble for the janitor's union, the
messenger boys union, the newsboy's
union, and now last, but by no means
least, comes the housewives union.
During the recent walters strike
one of the local papers pictured the
situation by cartoon the caption of
which was Mother Hasn't Struck
YETI the idea being that father and
the children still had place to eat.
But with the new union in full swing
mother is liable to strike at any time.
One woman with a grievance
against tardy husband was respon-
sible for the whole affair. She wished
to go to lodge-the Eastern Star
and her nus band being late to supper
caused her delay. Explana tons at
the lodge hall followed and the indig-
nant sisters proposed that union of
wives be formed forthwith, and the
thing was done.
The new union proposes to force
the following concessions:
Husbands will be allowed to attend
the club one night each week.
Hus bands will wipe the dishes
three nights per week or hire a girl
for the purpose.
Husbands will build and attend all
fires. This includes emptying ashes
and carrying coal.
Wives must not be required to
work more than II hours each day.
If husbands cannot so arrange their
business affairs as to comply with
this rule they must hire a girl. If
they fail to hire a girl the wife is to
do so and charge the same to the
husband.

"Come upstairs and see your rooms
now," said EsteEe and led the way
upstairs. There were six small
chambers each daintily furnished.
While they were upstairs the rest
of the girls whisked the remnants Of
the feast out of the way. for even
then people were coming, each with
some gift of fruit or package of
groceries or some ornament for the
house.
When the old ladies came down
stairs again, they found the house
full of men, women and children,
each with cordial greeting.
"We've come to give Sunnyside
Cottage a housewarming," explained
Squire Critic. "We're glad to have
you back again, all of you. Now, l
amt no hand to make speech, only
want to say that you amt living in
any rented house. Sunnyside cottage
was decided to you this afternoon. It's
your own, to have and keep and pass
on to any other old ladies who need
home"
II can't believe it. It's like a
DREAM said Mrs. Chalmers. "Why,
we could almost take care of our
selves, here"
What an evening that was. How
good it seemed to be again part Of
the world and not pushed aside and
| forgotten. How they slept in their
own rooms and how pleasant it was
| to have a room to themselves. How
pleasant it was to get up next morn
ing and get breakfast. How good
the eggs and coffee, the fresh rolls
and doughnuts were.
A little later the girls came run
ming in to see how they were getting
on. One brought glass of jelly, an
| other a chicken, another some fresh
vegetables.
We've been organizing" said Mrs.
Chalmers with half laugh that was
almost a sob. GAS Mrs. Henderson
used to live here, We'll call her the
head of the house. She'll make a
capital hostess. Mrs. Milliken is
housekeeper, Mrs. Atkins is cook, !
am chambermaid, Mrs. Marshall
wants to be laundress, and Grandma
Allen will do the mending and look
after the flowers"
"Then it is to Mrs. Milliken as
housekeeper that I'll give this said
Bette, handing her a SO bill. "You
are to have that much every week
Can we spend all that in a week?''
exclaimed Mrs. Milliken. 'You don't
mean they spent all that on US over
| there"
"The town thought they did"
"Why, we can live on the fat OF
the land and have friend to tea
now and then"
"God will bless you" exclaimed
Mrs Marshall. you have made six
forlorn lives bright again."
Its only the eventide of the six
lives" added Grandma Allen. ''It
may seem little to you. You cannot
comprehend what it is to us."-Chi-

MY BEST OF DREAMS.

There is no Sunday morning nap
Such as there used to be,
There's no more lying half awake
And half a-droWse for me,
There Is no dreaming for awhile,
A cozy hour or two;
That it is Sunday matters not,
Each morris the same to you.
/ start up sudden wide awake
In gasping quick surprise
To find two chubby little thumbs
Are digging at my eyes,
And through the tears such treatment
brings
see your eyes of blue,
And hear you giggle with delight:
"Oh, papa! peek-a-boo!
Some mornings half in Sunderland
l hear a double thump
AS your two pink heels hit the floor,
Then, with a laugh and jump,
A little nightie-covered form
Comes flying, arms outspread,
And with a glad ecstatic squeal
You land in papa's bed!
But dreams are so intangible
I'm glad to pass them by
To see your yellow curls and see
The laughter in your eye;
For what are dreams? However sweet
They can't compare with you!
Ny sweetest and my loveliest!
Ny best of dreams come true!

mock, In6n OWNER
of one of the richest gold mines in
Colorado, arranged for the purchase
of more than 1000 acres of land on
the northwest side of the city, near
what is now Fullerton and FOrtieth
avenues. Upon this land he began
the erection of city that was to
rival anything in the world in man
ufacturing way. Great factory build
ings of brick and stone were erected.
Beside them he built model homes
for the workmen. One plant began
operations and stores were opened to
provide the workmen with commodl-
ties: real estate men bought heavily
of such land as had not been secured
by Pennock, and the boom was on.
1t was a glorious dream while 1T
lasted, but there came an awakening.
The gold in the Colorado mine gave
out; one factory in operation burned;
the people were without employment
and moved away; the stores were
without customers and closed up,
and to-day all that remains Of this
dream are a few dilapidatel houses,
a number of crumbling walls and the
name of "Pennock' on the railway
station. Even the people of the
neighborhood know not how the
name of the stat on was acc uired.
The fall brought financial ruin to
many men, but those who were able
to hold on to the land t'cey had pur-
chased and have waited for the city
to grow have Jared better, for the
city has grown out to meet them and
passed beyond, leaving the ruins of
PennCck's dream in its center.

Shot His Brother.

Great alarm was felt among the
members of the Case family in Racine
because of the disappearance of Roy
Case, aged 13 years, son of the late
Jackson I, Case, until he was found
in a stack of pilings by the lake shore.
The parents feared the boy had com
mitted suicide by jumping into the
lake. He had quarreled with his
brother Jerome, and drawing a re-
volver, had shot him through the leg.
Not knowing how serious the shot
was he ran away.

sci Of our navy can boast of. For
one thing she is the oldest iron war
ship in the United States navy. More
than that, she is the oldest iron boat
now in service in any navy in the
world. She is nearly 60 years old,
and when launched at Erie, Pa, in
1843, those who watched her slice
into the water expected her to at
once go to the bottom, for the reason
that she was built of iron, and who
ever heard of iron foating.'
The old boat has seen service, too.
She was the only United States war
ship engaged in the Fenian riots that
threatened English rule in Canada,
and, though not generally remem-
bered, she fought one battle in the
civil war. 1t was in the harbor of
Sandusky, o., while she was acting
as a guard for the confederate pris-
oners on Johnson's island, that a
number of confederates attempted to
capture and destroy her. The whole
affair was nicely planned, but did
not work out so well. and when the
confederates entered the harbor the
crew of the Michigan was ready for
them and opened with broadsidb
that soon dispelled any dreams of her
capture.
She is not great craft as modern
warships go, but, old as she is, she
still looks as. ,"spic and SPAN as any
of her larger sisters that sail the salt
waters.

studying music in the city each year;
I would not even dare guess at it, but
stick to the statement, made to me
by man prominent in musical edu-
cational circles, that Chicago has a
greater number of musical students
than any other city in America.
In this city are two large musical
colleges, besides half a thousand indi-
vidual teachers of national promi-
nence who attract students from all
sections. One of these two colleges
had more than $500 students upon it's
rolls during the fiscal year just
closed.
Music offers a wonderful field to
the real artist" said a prominent
the great, great majority never at

away their time in whirl of social
amusement, and do not give their
studies serious thought or attention.
There are exceptions, however, and
lucSo oACe DUlOJSS are easily 1Ouuu
examination time; they carry off the

given opportunity, will make for
themselves a name in the world of
