 "Then I'll ask you one last favor. My cab is at the door I've no fur ther use for 1t, and beg you'll drive home in it.''
 I saw that he really wished it.
 Why, yes, certainly" I assented.
 '"Thank you,' be said.
 He took me down to the door, called the cab and shook hands with me warmly.
 "Goodby, MT. Lester" he said I'm glad of the chance to have met you I'm not really such mysterious in 'dividual It's merely trick of the trade. I hope we'll meet again some time"
 "So do l." I said, and meant it.
 I saw him stand for a moment on the curb looking after us as we drove away, then he turned and ran rapidly up the steps of the elevated.
 The driver seemed in no hurry to get me home, and had plenty of time. to think over the events of the evening, but I could make nothing of them. What result he had achieved I could not imagine And yet he had seemed satisfied. As to his theory, could not but admit that 1t was an adroit one; even masterly one-a better one, cer- tainly, than should have evolved un. aided.
 The cab drew up at my lodging and I sprang out, tipped the driver and ran up the steps to the door. My landlady met me on the threshold.
 "Oh, MT. Lesterw she cried. Such a time as I've had this night! Every five minutes there's been somebody here looking for you, and there's crowd of them up in your room now. I tried to put them out. but they wouldn't got'

 Yes. I don't agree with him" "Nor I. Now take this case, for in stance.

No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass of in the urine when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick.

Homer in Business,

Homer In Bu0iness.
For some time Homer had known
that money is useful-one a buy
such nice things with it. Next he
learned that having pennies given one
by grown-up folk is not the same thing
as to earn them by doing some work.
Homer thought he would like to be a
waS-Searner.
= So at the breakfast-table he asked
father for work.
"Hum-mv said Mr.. Barber, looking
ihoughtfuiiy ut the small figure OF his
son. Nearly every day men come
into my Office looking for employment,
and now you want work! What could
you do, II I may askY"
"Oh, I could do most anything
said Homer, hopefully.
Father thought a little. The desire
t, work is such a fine one that 1t ought
to be treated seriously, even in such a
small person.
Every WE'LL" he said, finally. DO
you remember the kindlings that a
man unloaded yesterday over the back
fence? Well, you may carry them to
the wood-shed and pile them up neatly.

clothes itself to an almost amusing
degree with all the functions of q
Providence for the great host of in
tending settlers crowding into its
ports. A great steamboat with 1,5OO
immigrants on board moors. for ex-
ample, alongside the port Of Quebec.
The immigrants are marched In pro-
cession down q long passage, and
betwixt narrow ratings they are
checked, classed, and medically exam
ined almost without being conscious
OF the process. Long trains with open
doors are waiting along the platform,
and, / II a period Of time, incredibly
brief. the immigrants, in family
groups, are packed into h train n
move off.
When the destination Is at last
reached there are government agents,
with maps Of the district and vehicles
in which to drive the intending set
tier round to make his choice. At a
cost Of time and money incredibly
small the immigrant is then planted
on his homestead block, or his quarter
section, Of purchased land, and nnds
himself practicing the rudiments OF
farming; while the government con-
tinues to watch over him, supply him
with paternal advice and encourage
ment, and, If necessary, seed corn

him near the Hitler ranch, dragging
him some distance by the stirrup. He
was carried into Mr.. Byrd's house.
where It was discovered that his head
was 70 badly cut and bruised that 1t
was necessary to remove a portion OF
his hair and his full beard.
When this operation had been per-
formed, Mrs. Worsham came into the
room for the purpose of helping to

Girl Representative of Australian
Paper Tells Experience.
An Australian girl has succeeded
in interviewing" Mr.. Roosevelt FOR
the British Australian. This Is her
account OF the incident, says the st.
James Gazette:
In a little while I vas summoned
to the audience chamber, where, az
ter waiting about two minutes, a kind
of whirlwind danced into the room,
an electrical, breezy atmosphere en-
veloped every corner Of my conscious
ness. l heard a laughing voice say,
I'm delighted to see you, delighted!"
and my hand was grasped by Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the American
republic.
How that man exudes vitality and
cheerfulness and sunshine! How such
n man IL wanted in Australia, where
pessimism is the national keynote!
Dressed in a well-cut frock suit OF
light gray, he looked exactly like an
Englishman until he spoke. Then all
the world might know he was an
American. He laughed most of the
time, even when he said to me, Il
don't give interviews for newspapers
to n living SOUL" He told me to
'.sit right down." and talked about the
ALLEN Restriction act" of Australia
and our declining birth rate" You
people must do one or the other he
said, laughingly, "eilner let the world
enter your gates or keep your cradles
full. But I take the keenest interest
in those great commemorative beyond
the South seas-Australia and New
Zealand-particularly New Zealand"
He held q toy commonwealth flag n
his hand, which some extraordinary
humorous Australian had presented
him with on behalf OF the nation"
He is as quick as lightning. l put
a few questions quickly to him. He
was just as quick and told me, laugh
ingly, that he couldn't answer me.
Just then a solemn-looking mar en-
tered and announced that Baron Some
body. ambassador Of somewhere, was
waiting. "All right, send him into
the Office" said the President.
Then turning to me ne laughed
spontaneously. II hope to come to
Australia some day. he told me. ~
don't know of any one who would be
more welcome" said 1, as W. shook
hands and said good-by. He told me
what a pleasure 1t was to meet me
and If the recording angel dropped .
tear he must have smiled also.

few dogs in my time that seemed able
to tell whether a man was all right or
not. I recall n dog in particular that
impressed me with n firm belief that
he Just knew intuitively an honest
from n dishonest man. Under ordinary
circumstances he was not at all slow
In making friends with a stranger. In
fact. he was inclined to be friendly.
During the time that this particu-
lar dog was under my observation in
three cases put of nine he absolutely
refused to be at all friendly with men
he came In contact with daily. He
was on friendly and even playful
terms with six OF the men, would an
swer when they called, would follow,
them, hunt with them and al other
things to Indicate. chat he was friendly

the j his conduct, when not indlf-
ferent, was sullen and %resentful. He
would have nothing to do with them.
He would not obey them in any partic-
uIar. 1t was never necessary for them
to tell him to go away, for he would
not stay around them.

OF these men turned out to be ex-con-

ward sent to the ~penitentiary for cat
tie stealing, while the other six out Of
the nine grew into good, law-abiding
citizens? This case Is not conclusive.
OF course. only mention It because
OF the fact that 1t is the strangest case
| that ever came under my observation.
The three men may have acted in q
way that made the dog suspicious OF
their friendly oyertures. or there may
be some other explanation Of the fact.
Personally, I incline to the opinion
that the dog knew the men, that is,
he was able to Judge from their con-
duct generally, the way they looked
and acted, that they were not on the
square. Do you not think soy'-New

~Undereround Wonder

At Medina, ITALY, is a large tract OF
land In which, when the well-diggers
got sixty-thrce feet from the surface,
they came to a bed of chalk. Through
this they bored with an augur just Ave
feet. They then withdrew from the
pit before the augur was removed, and
upon It's extraction the water burst
through the aperture with great VIC
lence, and quickly filed the newly
inside well. which was afterwards At
fected neither by rain nor dought. At
another point, at the depth Of four
teen feet, were found the ruins OF an
ancient city. paved streets, houses,
floors and different pieces OF mason
work. Under this was earth made Of
vegetable matter. and at twenty-six
feet large trees entire, such Al walnut
trees, with the walnuts sticking 70

YOU
Homer worked bravely, but 10Y
tired he did get! You see, he was very
little, and even aborers much older
get tired Of their work sometimes. But
he kept maEfully at ii.
At night Homer sat on the gate
post, waiting for his father, and proud
ly led him to the woodshed to see the
neat pile of k%indlings.
1.-THE work is certainly we'll donc,''
said Mr.. Barber. II will pay you
promptly, as soon Is you send in your

bill? What's that?" asked Homer,
puzzled.
at Is the custom in business ex.
planned father. "to present a bill, o
written statement of goods sold OF
work done, together with your charge.
We must be business-like, of course"
Homer was a tritie disappointed, for
he had expected his wages at once.
But still hopeful, he asked his father
to explain a little; and then he was
hard at work again, this time with
pencil and paper.
At the end of fifteen minutes he pre-
| sented this "bill:"
Mr.. A. B. Barber, Dear Sir,
You O me II cents for carrying
wood. Yours with love, HOMER.
This BILL" said father. SIS not ex-
actiy like others that I have seen, but
| there is something about it that I like,
after aHw!
The bill, passed round at the supper
table, seemed to please everybody. In
deed, grandma smiled and smiled until
she had to wipe away a tear!
Homer's eyes We're sparkling. Father
counted out seventeen cents-one dime
and seven shining new pennies-and
laid them on the table.
"Will you kindly write me out a re
ceipt for this money, Homer?' he said.
"What's q receipt?" demanded Ho-
mer, a little tired of 1.-The laws delay"
"A receipt is a written statement
that you have received your money. 1t
will insure me against having to pay
| this bill a second time" said Mr.. Bar
Der, gravely.
Again Homer toiled over a pencil
and sheet Of paper, until he finished
this receipt:
Dear Father,
I've bin pade,
HOMER
Don't you think" asked 1nSther, in
a low voice, that we ought to corfeee-
the spelling"
no." said father, quickly. "He will
learn to spell Don enough, and I in
tend to keep these papers just as lie
wrote them. There Is more in them
than the spelling.
And he did keep them. Just a few
day ago Homer. now a grown-up basi-
ness man, with boys and girls Of his
own, came to visit his father and
mother. And father, now n white
haired old gentleman, generally called
grandpa" nowadays, opened a drawer
in his desk, and took out that very
'bill" and receipt" which he had
kept, oh, ever so many years! The
papers We're yellow with age. He told
them all how Homer earned his first
money.-Youth's Companion.
