 That's how he lost his hair. And once, when he was little shaver. Not bit bigger than me, He had squirrel that slept in his pocket Tame as 1t could be. Grandfather says he could whittle a sol

A SHY BLUE VIOLET

"NEHAT! Weeping again, my dis
 w contented Violet?" questioned the fairy as she came from her messy couch under an acorn cup, and wiped away. with the hem of her gauzy robe, the tear which glistened in the blue violet's eye. 'Discontented with your beautiful surroundings, my dear?" she continued But you shall have your wish tonight; so smile your sweetest and come with me-" and the fairy queen folded her favorite close in her arms and they sailed away through the chilly night air of that early spring time.
 "Rerlain you here" said the indul- gtnt fairy. "and see and hear all the wonderful things you have longed for. Then if you wish 10 return to your home on the shady side of the messy powder. all we'll and good; if not, you shall remain in the city, and l will grieve for my sweetest flower" and the fairy left the Violet alone in the great | city, while she hastened away to make others happy.
 Violet waited and shivered in her nest of strange green and she could hardly breathe, for the air was close, stifiing and pungent with queer new odors. The noise from without fairly shook her frail head. and each time that she shivered the most wonderful perfume foated from her deep blue gown: but Violet did not realize that, for the perfume had always fingered about her. She never once dreamed, in all her discontent, that she was so rarely blessed.
 "I feel so queer and lonely, and can hardly breathe" cried the Violet aloud. 'I wonder when will see the wonderful things the fairy queen prom ised."
 Who speaks before the time and in such strange language?" questioned a loud voice with a perfumed breath; and Violet quivered the more on her slender stem. as she saw the tall white Lily bending it's head: and as she shiv- cred and trembled. her perfume, in great quantities. foated about her.
 "Who speaks?" again demanded the Lily. The city's clock across the way says 'tis but three minutes to one. Who dares to frolic before it strikes the hour?"
 'I did not know-I am very sorry" the Blue Violet stammered.
 Flowers" exclaimed the Lily, "some stranger is here
 Up fared the lights in eye-blinding radiance; and against all rules every flower in the place walked from vases, jars and baskets. and crowded about the shy. strange Violet.
 A pair of massive doors swung open and chilly blast came out of dark,

The Long wait OF pat,ent 1over..

A romantic wedding, which for many
years had been delayed, owing to
woman's promise, took place at Sow
erby, near Thirsk, in the North Riding
of Yorkshire, the other day. For near
ly quarter of a century the bride
had acted as confidante and house
keeper to a maiden lady who possessed
considerable means. Many years ago
the housekeeper met gardener, and
was wooed by him with success. But
the housekeeper had promised her mis-
tress to stay with her until she died,
and SO the love story became one Of
patient waiting. Three or four weeks
ago the mistress died in her ninetieth
year, leaving to her faithful house
keeper her house, plate and furniture,
as well as f1000 in money. Many mes
sages of congratulation reached the
bride and bridegroom from friends
who knew the story of their courtship.

The oId.Time Novel.

For is not this the day of problem
novels? And do not these old-time
stories bring to us all the problems it
is worth ones while to discuss-gener-
osity, bravery, manliness and sincerity?
And do they not solve them, too? Man
liness and sincerity are sure to win.
Generosity is repaid by kindness. Bray
cry will always carry off the girl.
Throughout the book is not the prob
lem irresistible, with its inspiring clat-
ter of horses hoofs, its ring of valiant
words, its rapidity of action and ad-
venture, its romance, its excitement
and life? When the prince has taken
the princess hand and has kissed her,
then you know that the problem has
been solved, that they will live happily
in the end. And who's he who says
they will not, who suggests that Gin
derella was never happy after she left
her ashes and her pumpkins and went
to live in palace? He is very un-
comfortable person and had better be
muzzled. For it is good world, you
think. You take your feet from the
fender, put out your reading lamp and
tumble to bed. conviction in your mind
that 1.-The world is so full of number
of things, I'm sure we should all be as
happy as kings. gs."-Charles S. Brooks, in
the Critic.

bill providing for the purchase, at cost

ut is an open and notorious fact
he added, that, with the very small

tries, none but very rich men can aspire
TO these offices; that no man, of how
ever great learning, experience or abili-
ty, can represent this country abroad
unless he be a man Of great wealth
No matter how much salaries might
be increased, there would always be an
evidence Of the wealth OF each particular
incumbent, according TO the style OF
residence he occupied. If, however, a
suitable and dignihed official residence
be given to each of our diplomatic ENJOYS
then, at least so far as extefhal appear
ances are concerned, the rich man and
the poor man will appear alike

THE FISHERY DISPUTE.
Americans Make Complaint Against Newfouud.
land Officials.

Washington, d. c. (Special) The
State Department has received some bit
ter complaints from American owners
Of fishing vessels against the Newfound-
land officials for interfering with what
they regard as their treaty rights to fish
within Newfoundland territorial waters.
Only a few days since an American
fishing smack was seized at a Newfound-
land port because several months ago
She had, it was alleged, shipped some
Newfoundlapders from the Bay OF Is
lands, The American shipowners felt
that this was an infraction Of their right
to ply their vocation in those waters as
guaranteed by treaty.
The State Department has been ex-
changing notes on this subject with the
British government, and so far there has
been no friction between the two govern
ments, though naturally the American
fishermen and the local Newfoundland
authorities have at times shown some
heat. The State Department has not
been able TO make direct issue with the
Newfoundlanders with respect to their
right TO make it a punishable offense
to ship Newfoundlanders within their
own waters. 1t is not quite clear, how
ever, whether, while admitting the rights
OF the Newfoundland authorities to pun
ish their own people who ship on an
American vessel i'm violation of local
law. il is prepared to concede the amen
ability TO Newfoundland law of Ameri-
can shippers who ship such men.
