The Bulk That Won't Come OF.


She frankly confessed to the young
man who poses the patrons Of fash
ionable photograph gallery uptown
that she was too stout, and that she
did not want that discouraging fact
apparent in her photographs. She
asked him to devise some side posi-
ton so that her hips, in three-quar-
ter length, should appear about half
their actual size. He promised; but
when he got his head under the cloth
and peered through the lens the task
did not seem so easy as he had ex-
pected.
"You have too many skirts on, mad
ame," he said. Better take them off.
One will do. There Is no danger of
your taking cold here"
She flushed.

swered. go on with your work"
But what's all that around here, "
persisted the photographer, making a
wide sweep with his hands around
and below the hips. whats all
that?"
-That's me, young man." snapped
the woman. that's what that is. Just
me. And If you can tell me any way
to take that off just wish you'd do

A Head-On G. OIliSiOn
by HELEN FARR HUNTER
copyrighted, BY The authors Pu0i'tn0 Company

Trenton was half an hour late. A
woman dropped a bundle of curtain
sticks on the live rail at Sullivan
Square and tied-up the l. for thirty
minutes.
Trenton had an appointment at ST.
with "a man from out of town." Mar
shall Dix, an old college crony, ant
now a business associate, and as ht
dove out Of the car at Boylston street
the clock In the station stood $3.50 tC
fraction.
"Hang It! Just my luck! I'll miss
that DEAL" was his mental comment
as he dashed through the turnstile
banging it around until 1t whlrled like
top, and the next wayfarer had to
forcibly stop 1t. He was up the stairs
IN one second, across fremont street
in another, and down to the corner Of
Boylston in another.
Now, as every one knows, who
knows Boston, its erratlc climate, and
the strength and vigor Of It's proverb'
ial east wind, there is always an in
FAINT tornado sweeping and swirling
around the corner of Boylston and
fremont streets. 1t was a stormy
night, the rain was coming down in
torrents. Trenton had his umbrella
up, pulled down over his head and
shoulders, and as he rounded the cor.
ner he bent almost double, bracing
against the gust of wind that met him.
OF course he couldn't see in front
OF him, and the pretty girl in tweed
walking suit, and white beaver hat
and black veil, who just then turned
the corner on to fremont street, could
not see him, for she had her UNI
brella pulled down over her face,
lighting the same gust of wind, and
naturally they colllded.
Trenton's umbrella clashed into her
small silk one, and the ferrule on the
end Of his poked a hole directly
through 1t. The ribs of both umbrel.
las became entangled, and there was
q general mix-up.
So engrossed we're they in extrl.
eating the umbrellas, that neither mo-
ticed the other until Trenton spoke,
my. what beastly shame. am
awfully sorry, don't you know"
Then the pretty girl looked up.
"By Jovel" was all Trenton could
say.
BY this time they had gotten the
umbrellas dlsentangled. But just
tEen another gust of wind flercer than
tho first tore across the common. This
time 1t dlslocated the pretty girls hat,
and toppled II down rakily over one
ear. She put up both hands to straight
en- It, and dropped her umbrella and
purse.
Trenton stopped to pick them up,
and the wind took his hat of and
swept 1t up against a show window
Then the pretty girl laughed.
Trenton laughed, too, and grabbed
the hat back before 1t could fly any

Provlsions From Trees.

There is a tree which grows in
Sumatra, Algeria and China which is
known as the vegetable tallow tree.
From its fruit large quantities Of oil
ard tallow are extracted, and the fruit
is gathered in November or Deem
Der. when all the leaves have fallen.
Excellent candles are made from the
berries Of tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the Azores.
At Sierra Leone is found the cream
fruit tree, the fruit of which is very
agreeable in taste.
In Ceylon there is the bread fruit

Silence.

Inaudlble move day and night.
And noiseless grows the flower;
Silent are pulsing wings of light,
And volceless fleets the hour.
The moon utters no word when she
Walks through the heavens bare;
The stars forever silent flee,
And songless CLEAN through air.
The deepest love Is volceless, too;
Heart sorrow makes no moan:
How still the zephyrs when they WOO
How calm the rose full blown!
Tia bird winglng the evening sky
Files onward without song:
The crowdlng years as they pass by
Flow on In mutest throng.
The fishes glide through liquid deep
And never speak a word:
The angels round about us sweep,
And yet no voice Is heard.
The highest thoughts no utterance find
The hollest hope Is dumb;
In silence grows the immortal mind,
And, speechless. deep Joys come.
Rapt alteration has no tongue,
No words has holiest prayer;
The Hottest mountain peaks among
Is stiffness everywhere.
with sweetest music silence blends
And silent praise Is best;
In silence life begins and ends:
God cannot be expressed.

DEAD MAN STEERS A SHIP.
Deserted In Mldocean, His Hand Still
Grasped the Wheel.

0TdoPCu L1C WHICH,
A sealing schooner, the Arietis, re-
Gently sighted q mastless derelict
about 100 miles southwest of Queen
Charlotte islands.
Although at first 1t was thought
there was no one on board, a figure
was at length made out crouching in a
kneeling position at the wheel. The
captain of the Arietis accordingly
hailed them when within distance and
proffered assistance.
Receiving no answer, however, and
noticing that the steersman never
shifted his position, he lowered a boat,
and with some Of his crew boarded
the derelict. He found that the man
was quite dead and had apparently
been 80 for some time, but his rigid
hands still grasped the wheel and
guided the vessel on its course.
He had evidently been deserted by
his crew in storm, and as a last
forlorn hope had dashed himself to the
Wheel Some food was found close
to him and also two or three bottles
Of medicine, showing apparently that
he was i'll when his long watch began.
The name of the schooner was the
Gen Siglin, bound from San Francisco
to Alaska. She had on board the
complement of six sailors and FIVE pas
sengers. The body of Capt. Saunders
was duly buried according to the rites
observed at sea.-Exchange.

An incident of this sort Is related by

Hatch was in his prime there was a
little restaurant down town where the
men of finance took luncheon. Hatch
was in hurry. There seemed to be

over the small room: Terrible ac-
-ident down at the Battery"
"What?" asked the manager.
"Full-rigged ship has just gone down
in the channel, with lot Of people on
board"
There was an immediate rush for
the door. Tables were deserted, and
the men who were eating ran pell-mell
down Broadway. Hatch sat down and
ate quiet luncheon. Then he paid
his check and went out. The street
was full Of people running toward the
Battery.

Pocketbook Strangely Recovered.

A pocketbook containing $50 in gold
was lost eight years ago by Mrs. Da-

heard from it until the other day when
the money was found in a peculiar
