So Annoyine.

The r~ubbernecks annoyed her so
AS on the sidewalk in a row
They waited for the maiden shy
And ogled her as she passed by.
But truth to tell I'm quite afraid
1t much more had annoyed the maid
If as she passed from day to day
No man at all had looked her way.

To sit and spoon is very sweet

But when you have to buy her clothes
And pay for all she wants to eat.

There was an auction sale in q Vir-

widows few possessions fell beneath
the hammer. Among the people pres
ent was Henry A. WISE former Gov
ernor of Virginia, whose kind heart
made him the friend of all who knew
him. The Advocate and Guardian de-
scribes the auction:
Presently the auctioneer took up a
large bowl which happened to be full
or sugar, and the poor woman, anX-
ious to have its contents, fastened
into the next room to find something
IN which to put it.
Just as she returned the auction
Ger cried, 'Sold" and the pur-
chaser insisted that the sugar was
his. The widow pleaded for the lit
tie that meant much to her, but the
buyer was obdurate. The protests of
the crowd were so strong that he fin
ally turned to Mr.. Wise and said:
"Mr. Wise, you are lawyer Am
right OF not? If you say l am not,
[ will give back the sugar. If you
say | am entitled to keep it, I'll keep
it,
MY friend" replied Mr.. Wise, in
Lis gentlest tone, you put delicate
and unpleasant responsibility on me.
Hadn't you better decide the matter
for yourself?"
NO" replied the fellow, CURLY. Il
know what your opinion is going to be,
and l want you to give it so that this
whole crowd can hear it."
''Then," said Wise, Il advise you
that the sugar is yours. The widow
cannot take it from you. She has no
redress"
''Aha!'' cried the man, turning to
the spectators. what did tell you?"
''Stopw continued Wise. 1--WE adj
yised you at your own request, as
can prove by these people. 1t remains
for me to tell you that my fee for the
advice is five dollars, and l shall be
obliged if you will pay it at once"
The man turned scarlet, but pro-
duced five-dollar bill and handed it
to Mr.. Wise. The crowd yelled it's
approval, but suddenly became silent
as Mr. Wise walked up to the widow
and said, This money is mine; l have
earned it. Take it and buy more SUI

GERMAN FIGHTS WITH A LION.
Young Volunteers Battle for Life in
East Africa.

A young Berlin volunteer named Ull-I
mann. who is serving with the colonialE
troops in German East Africa has had
an exciting encounter with a lion at
Kilva.
The officer commanding the garrison
ordered Ullmann to rid the neighborhood
Of the lion, which had carried off sever
eral persons and committed numerous
other depredatiOns.
Ullmann set out with dozen natives
to track The beast, and after long hunt
the lion was found in a bush.
The beaters drove him out, and then;
fled in panic. Ullmann, describing what
followed, says:
Il fired and struck the brute in the
lower jaw without disabling him. Mad.
dened by the pain, he came bounding to-
ward me, and before l had time to fire
my second shot felled me with a terrible
blow from his paw.
''Then he began to tear the flesh off
my back. I tried to protect myself with
my left arm, but the lion seized it, and
bit through both flesh and muscles. Des-
peration gave me courage to continue the
struggle, and | drove my right fist into
the liens eyes.
''This stopped him for a moment, but
he quickly returned to the attack and
bit me on the head, shoulders, arms and
legs. Again I got at him with my right:
fist, and the lion continued dealing blows!
at me with his paw, and, swapping at me,
he tore flesh from my skull so that the
bone was barred.
''All this happened much more quickly.
than it takes to tell the story. I felt my
strength failing, and shouted to the ma
tives, who had hidden in the neighboring
bush, to fire Indifferent whether they hit
me or the lion. One of them summoned
courage to approach. The lion was So
occupied in mauling me that he did not
notice the native, who fired and killed
him. The whole encounter did not last,
more than two minutes"
Ullmann was removed to the nearest
military ambulance station, where it was
found that the lion had inflicted seventy
different wound on him. 1t was found
necessary to amputate his left arm, and
it will be many months before he recov-.
ers from his other injuries.-Berlin Cor

DRY that caused the Emperor to keep
Russia from harrassing England dur
ing the South African war. AS soon
as it became evident that the Boer
attack had placed the British forces
in q position Of serious embarrass-

eager to take advantage Of the oppor-

his endeavor to organize coalition
against Great Britain, so bitterly that
the statesman committed suicide a

Short Suggestions.

Always keep your celery roots and
edry them. They are good for season
ing soups and sauces.
Table oilcloths or the linoleum on
the kitchen floor can be kept fresh and
cleaner with oil than with soap and
water.
A good general rule always to re-
member in the use of gelatins Is to
soften the gelatin In cold water, then
to dissolve in boiling water. Neglect
of either past of the process will cause
trouble In making jellies.
When weighing molasses sprinkle
the scale well with -four and then 1t
will slip off again quite easily without
sticking.
A plain brown or green wall paper
makes an ideal background for pic
lures, and the absence Of pattern on
walls adds immensely to the apparent
size of the room.
To save the knees of boys ribbed
stockings one mother re-enforces them
by sewing piece of strong black cloth
behind them before they are worn at
all. It is remarkable how much longer
stockings wear when treated in this
way.
