Is there any fairer relationship in the
wide world than this between father
and young daughter? It's only rivals
are the ties between mother and son,
mother and daughter and father and
son. To the budding womanhood that
skips and pranks beside him the settled
man Of affairs betrays the shy chivalry
that, so long as he retains the inno-
cence of his affections, nestles at his
heart. For her. he remembers again
the gallant days of his youth; he quotes
poetry, brings out for her amused and
affectionate inspection dreams and
hopes long laid by in the cedar chests
of memory. For her sake he goes
again into society, consents to dress for
dinner, is careful of his manners and
his speech. The graces of life trail
into his consciousness with the soft
swish of her frightening skirts.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

General Robert E. Schenck was a
famous poker player. Just week be-
fore his death he sat around table in
his own house with General Schofield,
General Rucker and two United States
senators. It was jack pot. Every
body had passed up to Schenck, who
promptly opened it for the limit. One
Of the senators raised, the general rails
ed back. and the senator stayed. Each
drew one card. Then the betting be-
gan, fast and furious. Finally the SEN
ator said:
General, have you beaten. think
have sure thing, and I don't want
to bet any more money on this kind of
a hand
"But don't think you have me beat
en-. When I get enough Of it will
quit 81 Sal
So the merry war, of chips recon-
menced. Then the senator renewed
his proposition and offered to fatten the
stakes by wager Of a dinner for the
five gentlemen present. This was ac-
cepted. General Schenck had four
mines. The senator had a. straight
flush. But the little dinner for the
five never came Off Two days before
the evening set for it General Schenck
died. z e - $500

The Stock Market.

II. R. Leighton & Co.. Boston brokers,
say of the market conditions:
The backlog to this markets. undoubt-
eddy the magnificent crop record of the
year. Secretary Wilson places the total
value of farm products. after excluding
the value of crops fed to live stock in
order to avoid duplication, at $4,000
600. 1000. These figures are simply be-
wildering. 1t is no wonder the optimists
are predicting great things for the near
future. 1t means a condition which
makes for a degree of prosperity greater
than any thing this country has ever be-
fore enjoyed. We can only voice the gen
eral sentiment that great times are just
ahead.
Manufacturers generally are looking
forward to the new year with confidence,
and the traffic managers of the principal
railroads are already complaining of lack
OF equipment.

now much ONE should Eat.

One of the much discussed questions
of the day on which there are almost
as many opinions as individuals is the
quantity of food one should eat. Doc
tors all agree that the majority Of peo-
pie eat too much. Babies from the day
Of their birth are forced to eat too
much, and they grow up with this arti-
fetal appetite. The most reasonable
estimate yet made is probably that
which fixes one-twentieth of the aver
age weight Of the body as the average
daily quantity required. If you weigh
40 pounds you should consume seven
pounds of food. This includes drink
as well as solid food. But it is rfdicu-
lous to set down hard and fast rule.
Such a quantity might kill some, and
there is case on record of man
wasting away ON a diet of seven
or eight pounds of food a day. He
cut down his diet to quarters of
a pound of liquid and the same of
solid food, and as a result he grew
stout and lived to ripe old age.
