II is quite evident that some persons are

strated in some cases in very early life.
says Youths Companion The other day
Mrs. Cobb saw her tenyear-old son Ed
ward going out the gate with neighbor's
boy.
Where are you goingg1 she called from
the window.
Were going down to have our pictures
taken at the tintype place." answered her
boy, tossing a ten-cent piece in the air.
Mrs. Cobb had been wondering what
queer train Of thought had awakened this
vain desire when suddenly she heard once
more the click of the gate. Looking out,
she saw Edward coming in alone, MUNICH

For Meanness the Man Here Men

Congressman Morrell, of Philadelphia,
in discussion of the Delaware river ap-
preparations, mentioned a mean man, re-
lates the Louisville Courier-Journal.
There are many mean men," he said,
'but this man, surely, was the meanest
of them all. Besides being mean he was
also rich.

"He consented. He was hattered.
"Thereupon the joy of this poor young
couple was great. They wondered what
gift the rich godfather would give to his
little gcdson. Perhaps house and lot?
Perhaps half dozen government bonds?
Perhaps herd of cattle?"
Senator Morrell paused and smiled.
What do you suppose" he said, "the
mean man sent the youngster? He sent
it, sir, a cup that one Of his Cochin
China hens had won at poultry show"

And, before he had time to give even
a guess at her meaning, she had fed up
the steep path to the village.
But the beautiful mobile face told him
nothing. His eyes dropped to the para

Lady Hermione Forbes, whose por-
trait we give above, though one Of the
most beautiful and popular girls In So
