A Newsboy's Politeness.


Take my seat, lady," the young
woman shopper heard in a weak,
hoarse voice. It's owner, standing by
her side, with his torn cap in one
bony hand, and his bundle Of papers
clutched under his arm, was a grimy
newsboy AS he spoke he motioned
to the small space in which he had
been sitting.
He is tired" she thought. And she
answered, 81 can easily stand"
A charming and overwhelming
smile broke on his pinched and tear
stained face, and he answered, "Do
take my seat, lady, do sit down here" "
AS the young woman squeezed into
it he said, Don't suppose you want
a paper?" And she bought one.
At the next corner a man got out.
The newsboy was watching and he
took what was left of the seat after a
woman had sat down. Then he look
ed for a newcomer. When in a block
or two a middle-aged woman entered
the car he jumped up, jerked off his
cap and said, with the same smile he
had bestowed upon the woman:
Lady, here's a seat for you" Then,
when she was settled, want a pa
per?"
Then the other passengers under
stood his politeness.

COOKING AND SERVING
SHELL FISH

in the refrigerator. If the lobster is
to be made into a salad or cooked "a
la NeWburg, or in some other Way.
remove all the meat from the shells
and, laying it nicely on a plate, put
it in the refrigerator till ready for use.
By removing the meat from the
shells as soon as possible after they
are boiled, or opening the shells for
the gases to escape and the water to
drain out, the Holsters will be sweet
and fresh for couple of days. But
when kept confined in the closed shell
after boiling, a lobster is really not fit
to eat six hours after boiling.
To Cook Crabs.
To cook soft shell crabs, wash
them first in cold water, then rinse
the pockets at the sides and the apron
as we'll OF the female crab, and re-
move the beard beneath. Drop them
in boiling water and let them boil for
five minutes, then remove, put in
colander, and let the cold water run
over them moment. This process
IS called blanching Drain them for
an hour, then stand in the refrigerator
till ready to fry.
Have kettle over the fire with
enough smoking hot fat for the crabs
to swim in. Dry them we'll in a fold
ed cheese cloth, roll in flour and drop
the crabs one at time in the hot
fat, and let fry till a nice brown. Re-
move with a skinner, drain them
moment on white paper, to free them
OF tat, and serve on folded napkin,
or hot platter with sprigs of parsley
around the edge and quarters of
lemons over the top.
Many folks fry the crabs, after clean
ing them, without blanching, but
they are not nearly so delicate.
Boil hard shell crabs after the same
manner as Holsters, and as soon as
they are cool enough to handle
crack the shells and eat them from
the shell; or remove the meat from
the shells and keep it for future use.

account out Of her earnings or not
nobody seems to know, but probably
she has. Anyway, she is understood
to have remarkably shrewd business
head on her weazened shoulders, and
it is not at all unusual for one or
other of her humble friends to go to
her for sound advice as to the conduct
of some intricate business affair.
She still has the care of one insane
brother, her blind mother and her
insane sister on her hands, and if she
ever repines no one knows about it,
her face still being as frank and her
smile as contagious as when she was
a child

She was always busy, both at home
and IN school, and though her outlook
and surroundings would have seemed
d1scourag1ng enough to most children.
she appeared always to be having the
best of times.
When she was through with the
public school some of her rich friends
suggested that they be allowed to
pay the expenses of further schooling
for her. But she shook her head
wisely.
My father is getting to be an old
man." she said. BY and bv he will die
and then l shall have to earn the
money. am going to be dress
maker, and I'm going to begin learn
ing the trade at once. I'm going to be
hrst-class dressmaker, too, and you
can help me by giving work to me-"
Learn the dressmaking trade she
did, and by the time she was nineteen,
when her father died, she was the best
dressmaker in the place, and quite
able to earn enough money to keep
the family going. Everybody sym
pathlzed with her, of course, and that
counted, but her work was really su-
perior, and that helped her still more.
She was busy every day in every
week the year around, and often she
earned the wages of day and a half
in one day by taking work home at
night
AS the suburb grew, many rich fam
lilies came out from the big city near
by and built fine country houses on
the ridge of hills overlooking the
place. Soon the women folk of these
families heard of her skill, her pluck
and her failing cheerfulness, and
her wages went up. By the time her
mother went blind, some eight or ten
years ago, "Baby'-she is still known
by the old pet name-was able to
keep servant, and whenever she was
wanted at one of the millionaire
houses carriage was sent for her.
To-day, at 40, she is one of the
most highly respected members Of the
whole community Alike in the homes
of the rich and the well-to-do she is
treated as zone of the family wher-
ever she is asked to work. Only
once was she ever asked to eat with
the servants, and then she complied
as cheerfuliy as if she had been asked

New Pique and Linen Collar.

The girl who clings to tailored eff

with some new pique and linen turn

They are as deep as the ordinary linen

around the entire collar and about
midway between its two edges, are
Sits or broad eyelets, finished in but

cific, and with the coming OF
warm weather, pretty girls all over the
land are a-futter at thought of the
weekend frolic.
The girl who is in town for the
summer knows that on Saturday af-
ternoons there will be a plentitude of
young men, free from business ties,
to take her to some nearby resort for
the afternoon and evening, while the
girl who is employed in the business
section finds her half-holidays spoken

supper in the park or a run to the
nearest beach or lake resort.
Next to the question of the invita-
tion-from the right person-the av-
erage girl is absorbed in the prob

Oddly enough, the man who is TAX
ing her out on the jaunt takes the
question almost as seriously as she
does. The American man is keenly
observant, and he is apt to gauge a
girls good sense, tact and adaptability
by her dress. This does not mean
that he likes to see her over-dressed.

r TERE'S the story of one wo-
- mans work in life. It is a
l. i bit Of real achievement, too,
though most devotees of the
great god Success" wouldn't say so,
and the achievement has nothing of
brilliancy to recommend it to the
worldly wise.
Rather more than thirty years ago
a family of strangers moved into a
suburban town on the Atlantic coast.
They were English, and the father had
been a sea captain. There were five
children-three boys and two girls.
The youngest girl was cripple. Her
back was bumped and her narrow,
childish shoulders were sadly mis-
shapen. For all that she was the first
of the family to make friends with the
neighbors, since, in spite of her de-
formity, she was always merry and
her plain, round face was always
laughing one
The other children, and the parents,
in fact, were strangely aloof, but
Baby" as she was known, was al
ways playing about, as happy as the
day is long From her it was learned
after a while that the family was
really in straitened circumstances.
Through her the father got a job as
common laborer in one of the fac
tories that fringe the places Little by
little it leaked out that after he had
quit the sea he had made two or three
business ventures-one in India, one
in South America and one in Virginia
When he began he was we'll to do,
but now he was penniless.
Little by little, too, it came out that
only one of the children, the oldest
son, was normal. Two of the broth
ers and one Of the girls were weak
minded, and it was because of their
sensitiveness, owing to these circum-
stances, that the family had held
themselves apart from the neighbors.
The strong and healthy son soon
left the place, struck out for himself,
and has never been seen with his fam
ily since then. Upon the mother and
the hump-backed Baby" developed
the care of the three weak-minded
children. Baby was sent to school,
though, where she proved bright and
quick to learn, and where her circle
of friends widened, so as to take in
everybody, the children of the rich
and the children of the p0or alike.

WIN II the exception OF oys-
NI ters, shell fish are better
Wv now than at any time of
the year. CLANS, Holsters
and crabs, both soft and hard she'll
are delicious.
When buying Holsters, select small
Or mediun-sized ones, and always
get them alive. If the dealer cannot
assure you that they will be sent home
Immediately and while still alive,
have them put in a basket and take
them home yourself or get a messen-
ger boy to take them for you.
Never buy boiled lobster, for it
is well-known fact that no dealer
ever boils lobster for sale until af-
ter it is dead
Always buy soft shell and hard
shell crabs alive and get them home
from the market as soon as possible.
In selecting clans to be served on
the half shell, choose the small Little
Necks of even size Wash them
very clean in cold water, and Just be-
fore serving them open them as you
would raw oysters, leaving each clam
in one of the shells with its liquor,
after entirely loosening it from the
shell. Fill deep plate with chopped
ice, arrange six clans on the ice, put
half lemon in the center and serve
at the beginning Of the luncheon or
dinner.
Accompany the service Of CLAIMS
with thin slices of brown bread and
butter, or little crisp biscuits, and
with tabaScO sauce hOrSeradiSh OeD
per and salt.
Fresh raw CLAIMS are an excellent
tonic and appetizer and their liquor is
one of the most valuable stimulants
for invalids.
To Cook Lobsters.
AS soon as Holsters are brought
home from market have a kettle Of
boiling water highly salted over the
fire, plump the Holsters into the kettle
and let them boil not over twenty
minutes. At the end of that time re-
move them from the water, drop them
in cold water and set them to cool.
AS soon as the Holsters are cool
enough to handle, open each one by
cutting the shell down the back Then
with the hands wrench them open and
lay them out fiat. Crack the claws
with mallet
If they are to be served in the shell,
leave the meat in the shell, and after
they are quite cold put the Holsters

Ingenious Luncheon Place Cards.

Some place cards at a recent lunch
con contained each a conundrum and
small pen-and-ink sketch. The pic
ture gave hint of the answer to the
conundrum. One card, for instance,
had on it picture of cake, and the
question "Why is the letter K like
f1our?" The answer was Because you
cannot make cake without it." Any
riddle book will furnish the questions,
and a little thinking will suggest sub
iects for the sketches.

Smartest Facing for Hats.

By all odds the smartest facing for
hats to be worn with tailored dresses
is that built from narrow lingerie
frills. A facing of net is cut to fit the
hat, then covered with innumerable
ruffles of narrow lace, either gathered
or accordion-pleated. Valenciennes
lace lends itself best to this sort Of
facing, and if a vest, collar and half
sleeves of lace edged houncing are
worn with the linen suit, the harmo-
nious effect with the hat is very good.

Modifying Electric Light Glare.

The old objection to electric lights
in the living-room, because of their
injury to the eyesight, has been en-

peculiar opaque shade, which throws

in every direction. These electroliers
for reading purposes come in variety
of shapes, and are especially pretty

a SAD CASE.

Last week the wife of a very poor
man, with a large family, was ad-
judged insane, and application was
made for her admission to the State
Hospital for the insane. Now the
ansu er comes back that both the
asylum at Morganton and Raleigh
are f~ull-every room occupied, and
the poor woman cannot be admitted.
She is violent and dangerous, at
time, fre quently tries to commit
suicide, Uanders away from home,
lies down in dit.hes filled with
water, knocks her children down,
and does many other things for
which she is in no way responsible.
Now, it is n burning shame for
this poor oma to ne placed IN jail.
1t is the duty Of the State to provide
for the insane. If necessary, cut off
appropriation elsewhere.
The insane of North Carolina must
be cared for. The people demand it,
and they are determined it shall be
done.
Humanity and Christianity de-
mand and Christianity demand and
command IS to do our duty by these
unfortunate ones Of Gods creatures.
They are u brethren.

1T HAS HAPPEN ED.

Mr.. Josephus Daniels Has Been
Fined $1,000 by Judge Purnell
For an Editorial Which APP
peared in the Raleigh News
and Observer Sunday.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels has been
under arrest in the custody of the
United States Marshal ever since a
few minutes past one o'clock yester-
day.
At that time Judge Thomas r..
Purnell, of the Federal Court, pro-
nounced sentence upon him for his
editorial in Sundays News and OBJ
server, that he pay a fine of $4,000,
and remain in the custody of the
marshal until it be paid with the
costs.
The whole city is stirred as it per-
haps never has been since the civil
war. Mr.. Daniels friends have
tiocked to him in groups all day, ust
to shake his hand and make substan-
tial offers of sums Of money toward
paying the fine, all Of which were
steadily but thankfully refused by
the prisoner. And these were not
only his thick and thin friends, but
included men who have differed with
him in matters Of public policy. 1t
was a great ovation.
Mr.. Daniels spent the night at the
Marlboro House, in room %. Late
yesterday afternoon United States
Marshall II. C. Dockery asked Mr..
Daniels: Are you going to pay
that fine?n
Mr.. Daniels ran his hand through
his pockets and showed that he had
not a cent with which to pay that
fine of So, 900.
"Well," said the marshal, "you
have been put in my custody, and I
stop at the Marlborough. Come owe
there with me.o
Deputy Marshal P. A. Mitchell
occupied room % with Mr.. Daniels
last night.
Immediately after the sentence
was pronounced, Mr.. Daniels coun-
sci met and prepared an application
for writ of habeas corpus, which Mr..
R.. T. Gray took to Washington with
him on the 1:25 train sst night.
There he will be joined by Mr.. Jas.
IL. Pou, who is already there, and
will apply to Chief Justice Fuller, OF
the United States Supreme Court, fol-
a writ of habeas corpus.
