A USEFUL PAPA.

Can your papa make everything

Does he know how to drive in nails?
And does he keep the glue
Right in corner of his desk
Just to mend things for you?

He fixed it in a minute,
And made it just as good as new.

And took them out to ride that day
He said he had to pin 1t!
And when my dolly's hammock came,
He screwed those little hooks
Right in the wall to hang it on
Just see how sweet it looks!

To stir mud pies with, too

That my papa can do?

Montezuma,s Well and Castle.

Now that the petrified forest of Ari.
iona has been created a national park.
and the government is taking steps to
protect it from further spoliation at the
hands of the 'Goths and Vandals," the
attention of tourists as we'll as scientists
will naturally be called to the many
other natural curiosities and archaeolog-
ical treasures to be found in the same
wonderland of America. Among these
Montezuma's well and castle invite and
amply reward both sight-seer and
savant. Although it is not at ali his
torically certain that Montezuma ever
had anything to do with the gloomy
abyssmal pool of water, nor yet the
cliff-perched fortress that bears his
name, they are wonderful enough tc
warrant a pilgrimage to them, even
without his signature.-From Monte

Highway robbery is a crime with
which English police no longer have to
reckon, whereas in ST. Louis it is night
~ occurrence. cat O. nine tails, used
in England and not used in America, ex-
plains the difference, according to c. F.
&. Raikes, an English resident of ST.
Louis, says the Post-Dispatch.
Highway robbery is the one crime
for which English law specifies logging
as punishment in addition to imprison-
ment, said Mr.. Ralkes to the Post-Dis-
patch. up to the time left England
several years ago, remember hearing
of but one or two cases of highway rob.
berry, and l kept fairly we'll informed
on such matters. l know that it was one
OF the rarest crimes in the kingdom.
In reading of the nightly robberies
recently in ST. Louis have often thought
of that fact, and the only explanation
can find for the difference between ST.
Louis and the English cities is in the
difference of punishment.
In fact, have heard it said that it
was the fiogging which prevented high
way robberies there The would-be
robbers seemed to be in deathly fear OF
that
"A cat O. nine tails, which is small
bundle of leather strips attached to a
short handle, is piled on mans back,
cpd it tells. The number of lashes to be
sven is specified by the court just as is
the number Ofyears the guilty man must
serve in prison.
Il do not know that f1ogging is still
practiced in England, but it was pun
1shment for highway robbers when left
there, and it was regarded as effective.
Two other things are to be taken
into consideration. The first is that
punishment by Imprisonment is severe
l think the minimum is ten years and the
maximum is life The other is that
pardons are rare in England. Influence
counts for nothing. A man who is SEN
fenced must serve out his time.
ut seems different in the United
States. Of course, there is no f1ogging.
Furthermore, the prison sentences are
shorter and pardons are more frequent
There are also more delays here in execu-
ton of the criminal law than in England
There seems to be need of some stern
measuers in this country to stop high
way robberies. l don't know that fog
ging is the proper punishment, but l
often think of the English practice
when read of the robbsries in ST. Louis.
Other European countries are equal
ly free from highway robberies, al
though 1 don't know that they practice
f1ogging. They all, however, regard the
crime as almost as bad as murder, and
the law is very severe

possible to tell it from the real article
is another new thing which has the
recommendation of being at any rate
very clever.
Winter gloves are being made in
much the same shapes and eolors this
year, but the style illustrated is partic-
ularly elegant. They are made of fine
buckskin in two colors only, tan and
slate, and are fastened in a very easy
and uncommon way, while the lining
is woolly and warm, and squirrel fur
belt round the wrist adds to the COM
fort and effect
Nearly all the hand-stitched gloves
worn in this country are made abroad

The measurement round the wrist at
the first button should be So inches,
round the knuckles at the base of the
fingers Ga inches, round the hand at the
ball of the thumb tx inches, from the

and from the top of the second hnger

gers in proportion. The lady who can
show these measurements can safely lay
claim to an ideal hand which will COM
pare favorably with any other.
The fashion in gloves, although it is
OF course bound to vary in certain de-
tails of cut and style, is always more or
less of fixed quantity. The latest ten
dency toward change is in the direc-
ton of shortness.
Four-button gloves are fast going

HAS HAD BUT TWO BIRTHDAYS
Odd Case of Kentucky Girl Who VIII
Be Sixteen Years Old the
Present Year.

Not one person in many thousands
but who celebrate their birthday once
a year, and when this eagerly looked
for day comes but once in four years
it seems long, long time, especially
with little folks. But how about a
birthday that comes only once in eight
years?
Miss Pauline Stone, who lives in
Seven Hills, KY, was born February
20, 1888, and although she will be 16
years of age next February, she has
had only two birthdays-in 1892 and
1896. The year 1900 would have been
a leap year but for the fact that it
was centennial year not divisible by
400, and, therefore. February had but
% days and Miss Stone had no birth
Gay. 1t is interesting to remember
that since the beginning of the Chris
tan era only four centennial years
have been leap years. Next February,
however, will give the young lady
birthday and she is looking forward
to the time with great interest.

7 INTERVIEWED by the Boston

berthy had some interesting informa-
ton, and quickly destroyed the popular
belief that it is the smallest hand that
is the ideal one.
Apparently the ideal size is that which
a Ga glove will fit, and Mr.. Penberthy
thinks that well-shaped hand in this
size looks as elegant as it is possible
to look. The ideal hand must be fairly
ieshy, with tapering fingers, and such
a hand as this will show off a glove to
the best advantage, filling out every

For several seconds there was a bat

attempts to carry away the cat bodily,
but each time the cat would make saw

she had caught a couple Of fouls
she got to the first base on balls.
The Misses Brisbois and Park
ers then pounded John all over,
and at the end Of the first innings
the Reds had got in eight runs on
him.
The Blues had become very
nervous excepting Batiste Lozon

courage was raised when Roman
Perrault made home run. Ben

the game; he sent the ball in a
straight line over Nod-in-ai's head
but she was too swift and she
caught it and put him out. Joe
Lozon stole three bases but was
caught at the last by the very
clever playing Of the pitcher.
Mike. made a home run at the end
of the sixth innings and tins killed
him, for he made such squirt
that he was unable to DO much
afterwards.
Mrs. Lynch was too swift for
John and he was unable to make
one hit and she famed him out
every time excepting once and.
then he was only able TO reach the
first base. The trouble with John
was that he did too much coach
ing and not enough playing. Iheo-
dore tried hard to make u run but
owing to the exertions OF his foot
race during the forenoon he was
unable to do any more than reach
the second base where he was
caught each time,
