Sorry for Him.

The young man on the elevated was
concealing lighted cigarette in his left
hand, to the obvious amusement of the
young woman who was accompanying
him. Every once in a while he took
surreptitious puff.
'Now, Frank" she protested, ''you
mustn't"
For answer he snatched her stickpin
with his other hand, and held it up
tantalizingly before her eyes.
"Give that right back" she exclaim-
ed. "Put it right in here"
She held out her open shopping bag.
The young man became a bit con-
fused, and dropped something into the
bag. 1t was not the pin. The girl
hastily closed the bag without noticing
the thin curl Of smoke issuing from it.

BACK TO BOYHOOD.


Travers had been absent from his
club for two days. When at last he
appeared one evening with light Of
victory in his face, his fellow mem
bers crowded round him, says the New
York Tribune, and demanded to know
why and where he had been.
II have been Inundated, deeply,
painfully Inundated" he said.
LETS hear about it," came In quick
chorus.
"Wall, the other afternoon I was
walking up King street, when found
a group Of boys spinning tops on the
sfdewalk-or rather trying to spin tops
They were very small boys.
Say, mister said one of them to
me, can you spin top?
"'Indeed can,' said.

II tried again with the button be-

SEA SHELLS THAT EXPLODE.

Those of a Marine Snail Surprise a
Young Woman on the Beach.
Nature has made many kinds Of
bombs in the shape Of seed pods which
open with great force and project the
contents to a considerable distance
There Is sea shell which explodes
with formidable noise and suggests a
veritable dynamite bomb.
Not long ago young woman wan
dering on the shore Of Mobile bay
picked up handful of shells left by
the tide. Among them were the shells
Of small marine snail, the largest Of
which were not more than a half inch
in diameter. She dropped them into
her pocket and forgot all about them,
till some days afterward she noticed
an unpleasant odor which came from
her wardrobe.
On taking the shells from her pocket
one Of them dropped to the floor and
exploded with sharp noise, loud
enough to be heard in an adjoining
room. She tried another with the
same result. The shells were then ex-
amined by a scientist, who found the
mouth Of each firmly inclosed by a
membrane Of greater or less thickness,
formed by the drying Of the animals
slime.
This had probably occurred soon
after removal from the moisture Of
the beach, and, the inhabitants Of
the shell dying, the gases of decom-
position had entirely filed the air
space. On exering a little pressure
a loud exposition was produced, the
shell fragments flying in all directions.
Out Of dozen shells only two failed
to explode. The conditions most sue
cessful in making the experiment
seemed to be removal from the beach
in hot, dry weather, which caused the
slime to be exuded in greater quanrl-
ties than usual and dried it up rapid

Has Woman Admiral

The Russian navy has one distinc-
ton, anyway. It possesses the only
woman admiral in the world, says the
Cleveland Leader. It might be we'll
for the Russian cause if she should
take turn in the present scrimmage
and there Is no doubt that she could
do as we'll as some Of the other Rus
sian naval commanders.
She Is Queen Olga Of Greece and
ranks as a full admiral in the Russian
navy. It Is not a mere empty title, in
one sense Of the word, either, for she
Isl much Of naval expert as many
Of the captains Of the Russian ships
and is a good sailor. The title was
conferred upon her by the late Gar
Of Russia. She is the eldest daughter
Of the Grand Duke Constantine, a
brother of the late Emperor Alexander
H., and was married when but 16, in
1867, to King George Of Greece. She
takes deep interest in seamen and
was the founder Of the Seamen's Home
in Greece, which she visits on certain
days of each month, making it a point
to speak with all the old salts. At q
naval inspection few months ago she
herself examined the vessels very
carefully and showed in her remarks
unusual knowledge.

SAVED CHlLD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of vropsy by Dodd's

Remarkable Cure of vropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one Of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
"Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two of the best
in the country, told me he would not
get better. I stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. l gave him three Pills a day,
one morning, noon and night, for eight
days; at the end Of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, gave him eleven
more Pills. used thirty-five Pills in
all and he was entirely cured. con-
slider your medicine saved my child's
life. When the thirty-fve Pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid
in his mothers arms from morning un-
til night"

THE oLD.FAsAIoNEo FOURTH.

The tantalizing third we beat the birds to

And raced the ROSTERS on The Day to greet
the morning light.
The cannon, loaded weeks before, was
ready to salute;

"Hi there, fellers, scoot"
But we, who scorned discretion, stood
around the piece Of scrap,
Each hoping, II the captain fell, to fill the
glorious gap
Nay, not a whit more cheerfully the fathers
faced the powder;
Nor could their blunderbusses raise a racket
any louder
And what more reckless hero ever drew
sword from sheath
Than he who fired his crackers while he
held them In his teeth?
And, since nobody dared to take stump"
I've often prayed
blessing on the boy who CRIED Lets go
to the per-rade!'
And then we heard the orator Though much
against our willy
Who said. "The blood our fathers bled,
thank God! Is bleeding still"
He bled so long we greatly feared he never
And some one read 1.-THE grand old words"
we valnly wondered why,
But, heaven be praisedl q monster gun was
there to make a noise
And q gallant flfe-and-drum corps under

All day the crimson lemonade gushed gayly
forth at us,
Till anillne enamel lined each boys esopha-
gus.
All day. as long as all our wealth could
syndicate the price,
We chilled our ardent stomachs with can
ary-colored Ice.
How could that coal-tar dye compel the
favor Of dream?
How could that starch of corn produce so
heavenly a cream?
I wonder why The Day is never celebrated
now.
They try to celebrate 1t, but they plainly
don't know how,
And would do 1t in the way we used to, If

OF course well, no, come to think, /

Nor do l want the company to pay my life

According to Keene Fitzpatrick. athletic
trainer of Michigan university, professionalism
is rampant at that seat of learning, where it
is said to be worth $500 a year to be an ath-
l l This surprising statement was included
In recent appeal to the students to come out
and train for track and field events but per-
haps 1t was meant differently from the way the
public viewed 1t. Says Fitzpatrick: There is
not year when we do not have eight or ten
more requests for teachers who can give in
Of this kind than we can supply. This
is something that the majority of students who
are fitting themselves for teachers seem to have
overlooked and we get many letters from for
mer students who are engaged in teaching ask
sort of instruction. Among other things
teacher can often command $500 to $500 more
a year in salary"
A western report bears out this statement by
saying that it is worth $1,000 a year to get on

worth $1,000 a year, and for the very short

in what light the Michigan alumni will re-

time that Michigan's athletic reputation has
been exploited as financially valuable to the gen.
