Dead Ones.

A paper at Miami refuses to
publish obituaries of non-sub-
scribers, 1t alleges that peo-
PIE who don't take their home
paper are dead ones" even
W hi E on earth, ard the mere
fact Of their being tucked away
under the ground is not news of
any importance.
If a man cares nothing about
his home paper, Why should it
waste time and space on him?
If the Taper can get along
without him living why can't
it when he is dead?

PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, DECEMBER IL 1904

Aunt Jane tied an old green barege veil
round her head and lay despairingly
Gown upon the lounge with her SMELL
ing salts.
She took heart of grace, however, for
She still believed little in her bargain,
and begged her aunt to let her display
one OF the parasols-only one-in the
shop window. Aunt Jane said she
Should expect to be sent to the insane
asylum, having a parasol in her shop
window in December, but she was so
discouraged that she did not care
The parasol had been in the window
only an hour or two when Aunt Jane
was thrown into futter by the sight
OF very stylish young woman cross
ing the street.
Its Miss Betty Armstrong;" she de-
clared. Il heard the family had come,
Win lot OF visitors, to spend the holi-
days That great house on the hill is
where they spend their summers. I'll
leave you to wait en- her, because I
amt dressed up" Aunt Jane hurried
into the back room, but she left the
door ajar
Il want to look at that parasol-it's
such lovely shaded" said Miss Betty
Armstrong, who had come rustling in,
accompanied by a tall young man "And
what delightful handel" she added,
as Judy passed it across the counter.
Judy was glad Aunt Jane had left the
door ajar
I'VE ought to have decorations like
this for the girls to carry in the min
strel show said Miss Betty. It's too
bad we didn't think of it,
II have a few more" The color
rushed to Judy's temples and her heart
thumped as she drew from the packing
case under the counter, one after an
other, the parasols she, had thought she
would never care to look at again.
Ihey,d be lovely for favors, Aft"
murmured Betty, admiringly. And to
give the girls who take part in the tab

man had seen the price marked on the
"old rose parasol: Discount for the
lot. l suppose?" he added to Judy.
Judy made figures on piece of pa
per, knitting her brows; she was try
ing to calculate how much profit her
conscience would allow her to take.
Aunt Jane, so carried away by excite
ment as to peep through a crack, re-
garded her hesitation as business diplo-
macy.
Judy still reckoned with an anxious
brow, divided between her desire to
justify her business bump in Aunt

James eyes, and her determination to
do what was known at Crow Hill as
the square thing"
"They were bought at a bargain"
she said at last, in a faint, but firm,
voice. II can sell you the whole for
$40.'
The bargain was very soon conclud-
ed, and then Miss Betty was suddenly
seized with curiosity. 1T doesn't seem
like Miss Pringle to keep parasols,"
she said, looking around.
Judy told her customer that she had
purchased them, and being drawn out
of herself perhaps by the excitement of
good fortune, told her how she wanted
to help them all at home Miss Betty
was very kind and sympathetic, and be-
fore she went away asked Judy to come
to her house to the minstrel show on
Christmas night and bring her aunt.
"They never asked me before, though
they've asked lots of Poppleton folks"
said Aunt Jane, a little resentfully.
That was after she had collapsed
upon the lounge again, this time for
pure delight and without the VEIL
They went to the entertainment and
had a delightful time Miss Betty
sought Judy in an interval between the
performances. She said she had been
thinking of what Judy had told her
about wanting to be good for some
thing, and make happier times at
home, and she thought she knew of
something that would be profitable.
and would not interfere with the shop
keeping. Her father was a manufac-
turer of toys, and from his establish
ment work was given out; work that
required only taste and little knack
at sewing-the covering of the dolls
parasols and canopies for dolls car
riages and the dressing of dolls.
1t was profitable work, and if Judy
would like to try, Miss Betty thought
she could manage to get her the oppor-
tunity.
If she would like it! Judy swal-
lowed what seemed to be whole
bucketful of tears and let one roll off
her nose by answer; and Miss Betty
perfectly understood.
1t was not long before a packing
case Travelled regularly between Miss
Pringle's store and Mr. Armstrong;
great mandatory, and Judy did work
that she loved, that brought her as
much money as all Aunt James shop
keeping.
1t was not much longer before case of
dolls straw hats travelled regularly
from Ethel's hands to the same manu-
factory, and Ethels toll was lighter
and her gains heavier in consequence.
Judy has dreams of firm in which
Ethel and Hetty and she will be part

candle, about a foot from it. He IS then
told to take three steps forward. turn
around three times, then to walk four
steps toward the candle and blow ii
