Eulalia, petulently.
Her father stopped down aad pick
ed up a piece of charcoal and held
it out to her. Take that in your
hand, my child F; it will not hurt

She did and her fingers were
smudged. Eulalia did not under

May Irwin, the popular promoter

she always WAKES melancholy when

and in a hurry. He always said
that he had no objection 10 such

Delving back into history, we
find that Benedict Arnold. the
traitor, had peculiarties In dress,
especially dislike for neckties.
A popularity of Peter Stuyvesant.
the old Dutch Governor Of New
Amsterdam, was that he disliked
being kicked on the shins or being
beat over the head with club, even

that he was sadly deficient in his

examiners, who wanted to show that
he knew something, asked him if
there was any verse in the Bible
that he knew. Yes, the young man

A Touch of Nature.

One very sultry morning last
week, when the air seemed lad.
en- with furnace heat. a little
unkept, poorly dressed boy of
eight or nine boarded the
Eighth Avenue car at Christie.
phar Street. He carried a year
old child whose buttonless, din
gy clothes looked as if the boy
had both washed them and put
them on the child. The car was
filled with sweltering, irritable
b humanity, and no one seemed
willing TO have the two grimy
children for seat mates. but
finally the boy managed to
wedge himself and his charge
into a crevice between two per.
spring men.
The baby bore the impress of
heat enervation in its dropping,
blue, circled eyes and pathetic
listlessness, and little red
splotcLes about the wrists and
neck told of prlckly heat. Its
languor was so marked that the
conductor asked the boy:
"What.ails the kid?"
"Nothin'," answered the child
with an apprehensive glance at
the curly.-head on his breast.
1T was so hot he didn't sleep
none last night. I'm takin' him
fer a ride SOS to git him cool"
Where's his mother?" the
conductor asked, noting the
children's half dressed condi.
tion.
Il guess she's visitin;" said
the boy stoically. "She went
on a 'scursion Monday an amt
got back yet"
The questioner shrugged his
shoulders and glanced signlfi-
cantly at the passengers. 80
