OUR FIRST SWEETHEART----MOTHER.
The Love That Was in Our Childhood Days Reaches
Over Years to Warm the Heart
BY DOROTHY Kenmore.

! wonder.
Never was there such a one as she
to soothe your sorrows-to kiss away
the bruises, to sing the pain away, to
her soft fingers on your forehead. MOI
was there any one else who knew so well
how to make little children happy.
Even in school you had occasion to
think of your mother. You remembered
how to pronounce the hard words in your
reading lesson because you could recall
how her voice sounded saying them. She
was never too busy to hear your spell
ing. and only she could ease the mental
agony produced by long division. Time
and again she listened to you as you
practiced the piece that you were to
speak at school on Friday.
And after school on Wednesdays she
would let you help roll out the dough
for the cookies or doughnuts, and cut
it into curious shapes-rings and stars,
hearts. men and women. 1t was through
her intervention that on Saturdays the
hired girl allowed you to scrape the dish
in which had been mixed the cake that,
baking in the oven, filed the whole
kitchen with delicate fragrance every
time the oven door was opened.
Summer suggested 20 your mother
sweetheart yet other methods and oppor-

the sandpile, where she wrought miracles
before your wondering eyes. Here she
built walled town with meats and
drawbridges and lofty towers. There she
placed a peaceful village, whose low
rooted cottages had plaintain trees in
their dooryards and gardens outlined by
hedges. Roads paved with pebbles ran
straight for way, then curved and
crossed a wooden bridge that spanned
the high-banked river.
There were the children's marches that
she arranged, making them gay with
paper caps, and Japanese lanterns, and
floating banners. And afterward, when
your legs were weary and your candles
all burned out there was ice cream and
cake for you and your friends. and then
there was bedtime, and, for you, at least
there were your mothers arms around
you.
All these things were done for me by
my mother my first sweetheart: and to-
night though l am far from home l
am not lonely. For the love that was
in those childhood days reaches over the
years to me. And my heart is warm and
my hopes are bright, through thoughts
OF my first sweetheart.

TELEPHONE EAR.

1t is discovered that the telephone
is responsible for a peculiar develop
ment of the sense of hearing. Most
users of the instrument place the re-
ceiver to the left ear, and although the
extra receiver for the other ear is to
be found in thousands of Offices it is
the left ear which receives the sound,
and the receiver at the other ear serves
mainly to keep away exterior sounds.
1t will be found that an extensive use
of the telephone sharpens the left ear
at the expense of the right, or vice
versa if you generally make use of the
right ear. In the majority of cases
the difference between the two organs
of hearing is not very great, but in
some persons it is alarmingly so. The
sensitive nerves are so irritated by the
sound coming so directly on them and
in a tone which is strange that 1T sets
up a reaction which, although unno-
ticed at the time in all probability, has
a cumulative effect and upsets them.

BANKERS DEVICES

Some amusing anecdotes are Dem
told of the devices resorted to by bank
ers to gain time and inspire confidence.
On one memorable occasion the exclteo
subscribers of a Chicago bank, much
to their indi gnation. were only able
to enter the bank one by one. except
at the cost of spoiled coats, as the cute
manager had caused the doorposts to
be freshly painted.
Another bank prevented a crisis In
its affairs by exhibiting in the windows
large tubs apparently brimful of SOW
ereigns These tubs, however, simply
were upside down, and only small
quantity of gold was piled up on their
bottoms.
But the most ingenious dodge OF all
was successfully carried out in Buenos
Ayres recently. There was a run on
a large bank and for several days sub
scrIbers besieged the premises, with
drawing money and placing 1T in an
other bank on the opposite side of the
road 1t happened, however, that these
two institutions have a private under
standing, and as fast as the safe"
bank received the deposits they were
returned TO the unsafe" one by an
underground passage, with the result
that every one marveled at its con-
tinued ability to meet it's demands.

PIPE SAVES HIM.

Bob Chestnut's visit TO town Thurs
day recalls the story of how his cool
ness saved his life in an alteration
with an Irishulan in a Western cattle
camp many years ago, says the Coney-
Vile (Kans-) Journal The Irishman
was a bully and a bad man. While the
latter always wore a brace of six-shoot-
ers in his belt. he also carried a sud
den emergency Derringer in his outside
coat pocket. The Irishman had an
eleven-inch Colt already in his hand
Bob thrust his hand in his pocket for
his Derrin ger, but the weapon had
slipped in hole in the lining. His
hand coming in contact with his pipe.
he quickly drew it out and placed it in
his mouth. The IriShman lowered his
gun, which he had elevated when Bob
thrust his hand into his pocket Bob
reached for his pocket again, presum-
ably for his tobacco. Fumbling around,
he secured the Derringer, brought IL
into play like fash of Hghtning-snd
they carried the IriShman away. Bob
took a trip to the British possessions
for his health. although this was hardly
necessary, as the shooting was q plain

ROYAL TIPS

Some of the European monarchs give
very large tips whenever they travel
and others, on the contrary, are quite
niggardly. Emperor Nicholas OF Rus
STA is the most liberal in this respect.
During his brief visit to France three
years ago he spent $4,000 on tips TO
servants and almost as much on pres
ents to officials and others King Ed
ward of England is not quite as gen
erous, but as he travels a good deal
both within his own realm and abroad,
he is obliged to lay aside each year
$32 900 as an allowance for tips En-
peror William of Germany is much
more generous in a foreign country
than at home and during his recent
visit to Cowes England. he spent not
less than $4,000 on tips. OF the re-
naming rulers, some spend reasonable
sums and others very little but prob
ably quite as much as they can al
ford.
