TWO OBLIGlNG MEN.
Each Was the Victim In n street Car
Fare Transaction.

| Fare Transaction.
IT was in a Boston street car. When
the car stopped at crossing, lady
got up and went TO the door. AS she
rose there was the chink of coin on
the floor, but before il occurred to any
one to stop her she was out of the car
and across the street. Two ladies who
had sat next TO her looked with anx'
ious Indifference on the floor. One OF
them leaned slightly forward, but said
nothing. Just as the conductor was
reaching for the bell rope young man
spied the coin and dashed out of the
car. He caught the lady who had left
the car, handed her the coin, ran back,
caught the step of the car as the mo-
tors began to sing in creScendo and sat
down breathless. One of the two ladies
opposite lin leaned forward and said
coldly, Young man, what did you do
with the nickel l dropped?" The pas
Sengers Uttered. An old man at the
other end of the car turned to his
neighbor. That reminds me-" he said
"of something that happened to my
wife years ago.
1T was before the days of conduct
orS, when we used TO drop our .nickels
into n slot, and they ran down n groove
TO the box behind the driver.
My wife had started out with lit
tie change and one of those trouble
some five dollar goldpieces which used
TO be more commonly in circulation
than they are now. Her eyes were not
good, and so she was nervous about
her goldpiece and had it on her mind
all the way downtown.
when she took car for home, she
met Il friend and grew interested in
conversation with her. She put her
coin in the slot abSentmindedly. The
driver turned as it struck the box You
remember the coin fell into Il glass
compartment first, and then the driver
pushed Il lever which sent ii into the
strong box below.
"As my wife heard the click of the
ltNtI sue lliOuShl VI hcl uNC uOlldI
goldpiece. She looked in her purse.
Sure enough, it was gone. She went
forward and spoke to the driver. He
said he hadn't looked very carefully,
but he thought there were only three
nckels in the glass receptacle when he
pushed the lever.
My wife insisted. The driver said
If she would ride to the end of the line
the cashier at the station would open
the box. This meant a journey of two
miles beyond our street, and my wife
was in hurry,
"An old gentleman who sat by the
door said lie was going to the end of
the line and offered to give her $4,95
cents and get the gOldpiece at the sta
ton. My wife thanked him and took
the money. When she got home, she
found the five dollar goldpiece in the
lining of her purse.
Next day went to the station. The
cashier said an old gentleman had made
him open the box. There was no gold
piece. The old gentleman had left in
Il rage, refusing to give his name. He
said he had been swindled and did not
want TO be known for fool.
I'VE advertised in the papers, but we
never heard from him" Youths Com

Bribery in elections is an ancient If
not an honorable custom. This is shown
in the case of Shrewsbury, England.
An extract from Parry's "Parliaments
and Councils of England of case Of
bribery. with its punishment, in 1911
shows how long the pernicious custom
has been in practice: Thomas Long, a
very simple man and unfit to serve, is
questioned how he came to be elected.
He confesses that he gave the mayor
of Westbury and another IA for his
place. They are ordered to repay this
sum, and Il fine of f20 is to be assessed
on the corporation and inhabitants Of
Westbury for their scandalous at
tempt" One can imagine the indigna-
tion of those inhabitants of Shrews-
bury who received no bribe having to
pay fine for those who did.

Cheese Dishes.

Cheese is one of the most concentrat-
ed forms of heterogeneous food and as n
food we'll adapted TO the laboring man
or those working in the open air. When
properly cooked. cheese is probably
more easily assimilatCd by the ordinary
stomach than eaten raw. and hard, un-
cooked cheese should he served grated.
In combination with certain food mate.
rials cheese is valuable, but when used
in this way should form the staple dish
of the meal. Macaroni and cheese, rice
cooked in stock and then baked with
cheese or cooked with it, as in the form
of risOtto, should be used in the place
of meat An ordinary dinner menu of
meat, potato, macaroni and cheese Is
not properly arranged. MacarOni and
cheese should be used for luncheon
dish, and Il green vegetable should be
served with meat and potato.

BREAKING IT GENTLY.
He showed the Widow why IL Was
Too Late to Mourn.


After the ship which had come from
New Zealand was tied up ar the wharf
Larry O'Brien was told of by his ship
mates to call upon Mrs. Mccarthy and
break the news Of the death of her hus'

the preceding summer. The Brooklyn
Eagle tells how he did it:
Good morning, Mrs. McCarthy!'
said he. us Denny iny'
"Denny?" said the surprised woman.
MY Denny? No, he's not in. Is the
ship herey"
Sure ii is. And Denny's not got
home yet? That's quare-unless some
thing has happened him."
what would happen hinY Mrs. Nc
Carthy asked anXiously.
There's plenty of things can happen
man." said Larry delicately. He
might have got hurted or he might
have took sick with the fever. But
there's one comfort, as Father McGin-
mis- said once, and that is that time

What do you name, Mr.. O'BrienY
Il name that if anything happened
to Denny you wouldn't feel as bad
about II few months after it hap
pened as you would right at the time,

Il mind whin lost me first husband |
thought I'd never get over it. But as
you say, in few months it was aisier
TO bear"
"Then, Mrs. Mccarthy, you'll be glad
TO know that it's now four months
nearly five-since Denny died. Sure, it
can't grieve you now as much as it
would if you'd known it at the time"

4 Fighting nlShOD.

On one occasion Bishop Selwyn was
going down the river Waikato with n
Maori when the latter, who was very
lazy, left off padding the canoe, at the
same time muttering that If Selwyn
were not bishop he would-well go
for him." In a moment the bishop told
the man TO turn the canoe ashore,
where, stripping himself of everything
episcopal, he said, pointing TO his
robes. etc: THE bishop lies there; the
man is here. l am quite ready; come
on" The Maori did not come on"
however, but quietly resumed his work
without another murmur.-London Tit

Queer Looking Worms.

New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan
and the Solomon islands, as well as
portions of the Hawaiian group, are
the homes of various species of worms
with thick heavy bodies and with a
well defined neck connecting the body
with a head that is startling remind
er of that of the monkey. In the Sand

of immense proportions and threatened
the extinction of all human life on the

spain's Migratory sheep.

There are about 10,0C0,0O0 migratory
sheep in Spain. which each year travel
as much as POO miles from the plains to
the mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep, which have the right to
Craze on all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose road nine
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property The shep-
herds lead their flocks, which follow
after and around. The flocks are ac-
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs TO guard against wolves.
The merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains, and the total time spent
on the migration there and back is
fourteen weeks.

New York SheriHs,

The reason why the sheriff Of Few
York cannot be elected to two sdcces-
sive terms is this: 1t is the shcriff's
duty to carry out the process of courts
against official delinquents during trial
and after conviction. Should a sheriff
cndeavor fOrcibly to hold over for a
second time after having been defeated
for reelection lie would be the instru-
ment Of the courts process against
himself, a paradoxical position which
the law avoids by making him inelIgi-
BILE for reelection.

A Powerful River.

should one be asked at random TO
name the most powerful river in New
England is, the river yielding the
most water power and doing tie most
work-he would be likely TO name the
Merrlmac," said NJ. S. Edgar of Port
land, Me. He would have in mind
the great manufacturing city of Low
ell, and the answer would be Il natural
one. 1t is surprising. therefore, to be
told by the United States geological
survey that the most powerful river in
New England is the AndroScOggin.
Yet the surprise abates when the facts
are recounted. There are nine or ten
developed water powers along the riv-
cr and it appears that they furnish to-
tai power equal TO 73,000 horses. The
falls at Brunswick yield 100 horse
power: ut Lisbon Falls, 1925; at Lewis
ton, 1900: at Livermore Fails, 5000;
at Otis Falls, 5000; ut Jays, 300; ut
Peterson's Rips, G,0O0. At Rumford
Falls there is potential of 10000
horsepower when the resources at that
place are fully developed, and that is
altogether the greatest water power in
New England. Washington Times.

But Another Step.

The course pursued by the Roose-
velt- administration in the Panama
matter is but another step in the i'm
perial policy. The game being played
is might Makes Right 1t is being
played for the benefit of the gang
that will profit by the increase in the
price of the bonds of the Panama
Canal company when a new treaty
with the new opera bouffe republic is
ratified by the senate
In proceeding as he has President
Roosevelt has ignored all the prece-
dents. When contrasted with the
presidents established by the action
of our government in the past in con-
nection with the recognition of new
republics, the actions of the Roose-
welt administration are an outrageous
overturning of them all. and are an
Endorsement of secession and an in
decent slap in the face of weak sis
ter nation.
Let us recall how our government
acted under former presidents in sim
liar cases. In 1886 President jackson,
as impulsive and strenuous as he was,
refused to recognize the new repub-
lie of Texas, and said that it was i'm
portant that we observe a course
wisely consistent with our just prin-
ciples." President Grant refused to
recognize the republic of Cuba. and
so did President Mckinley, and there
were many more reasons why that
republic should have been recognized
than the new mushroom republic of
Panama. In speaking of Cuba and
his reasons Tor not granting recogni-
ton of its independence at that time,
President Mckinley said: "Tn deal
ing with cases like these the further
condition imposes itself that reeogni-
ton Of independent statehood is not
due to a revolted dependency until
the danger of its being again subju-
gated by the parent state has entirely
passed away" Does any sane man
believe that Colombia could not have
quickly subjugated Panama if there
had not been our war vessels present.

Mems Heart Tributes to Their Wives

You will think he wrote to her in
one of his letters, than / am more
