some of the other children had returned,
and in order to escape them we hurried
into the cellar, being careful to shut
the door behind us. In our hurry we for
got that the door had spring lock
which could be opened only from the

imprisoned in the cold, dark cellar. We
pounded on the door, cried aloud and
tried in every way to attract attention
but all in vain. We had been deceived

Serious for the Mule.

A doctor in West Philadelphia is fond of curios, especially those belong ing to the animal kingdom. One day he saw an old negro driving a super annuated mule attached to a broken down wagon He noticed the beast had one hoof of peculiar formation, and being interested remarked to the driver:
 Say, my man, when that mule dies I'll give you three dollars for that hoof"
 The old negro opened wide his eyes and asked the physicians address. The doctor gave it and continued to his home. In little over an hour the negro appeared in his office door and said in pleasurable anticipation:

ROYALTY's REFUGE
IN DANCING

That royal women are so passionate ly fond of dancing is not to be wonder ed at since it is only within compar- atiyely recent period that the rigorous etiquette by which they have been surrounded has been modified to the point where it is permissible, in a game of golf or tennis, or any game whatever, for an opponent of less ex- alted rank to play his or her best game without infraction of the rule that, not even by accident, should the royal player be, defeated. Golf, tennis and such games lost interest with those who were obliged to play under these conditions, and it was only natural that queens and princesses regarded the ball room as the sole place where they might indulge in exercise on an equal footing with a partner instead of an opponent. Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland prefers the waltz. Queen Alex andra, although over sixty, still waItzes with as much pleasure as in the days of her youth. Her sister, the Empress Marie of Russia, despite her widowhood and her many grand children, is still an indefatigable waltzer, as is also Queen Charlotte of Wurtemburg.

 DRIED AND EIGHTY-FIVE.
Miss Cassie Garter Is Aged Only 2s and Is Growing-Villagers Call Her Big Help' to
 Her Mother.
Boston (Mass.) Special.

By the time she has attained her full growth Miss Cassie M. Garter, of South Bluehill, Me-, can justly claim to be- ing one of the largest women in the country. Although but 28 years of age, and with good health and good appetite in her favor, is gradually increasing in dimensions
 What the limit will be, and how soon it will be reached, Miss Carter, of course, does not know, and if the sub ject is giving her any worriment it is certainly not causing her to lose flesh.
 She has an appetite which calls for three generous meals per day. and the ing her weight has apparently not re- ceived her serious consideration.
 Added to this healthful appetite is 8 love for exercise in the open air, and summer visitors at South Bluehill have marveled at the vision of this extrodi- nary woman indulging in all sorts of games with the young folks and bounc- ing about in the surf.
 When Miss Carter was born there was nothing to distinguish her from thou sands of other children. She weighed only 63s pounds, and partook of all the characteristics of her parents.
 Her father weighed 150 pounds and her mother only 115 pounds.
 The father died when Miss Garter was 13, and she has since made her home with her mother, to whom, in many senses of the word, she is "big" help" The childs gain in weight was only normal until she was year old, but from that moment to the present her physical progress has been of the most remarkable character.
 At the age of 20 months she weighed 65 pounds and made substantial lap
