The next afternoon, while his enthu-
siasm was still high, Dudley left the
Office two hours early, thereby losing
a contract, and hunted for lumber
yard. Be not deceived they are not as
accessible as are drug stores. March
ing into the Office of one which he
finally discovered, he said to the ex-
pectant clerk: "1'd like to leave an
order for some lumber. Please send
two boards two feet wide and two one
foot"
1t was long past dark when Dudley
reached home, with the boards under
his arm. He had walked part way, for
people on the street car seemed to
think he was beating some deserving
teamster out of work
Although the magazine article said
that any man of intelligence could con
struct an icebox in two hours, it was
two weeks later that Dudley brought
the box up from the basement.
oh exclaimed Louise, what dear
little thing! | have always wanted a
shirt-waist box, but that is too small.
You know, l own two waists besides

gested Mona Now, Dudley, don't get

trouble is that if it is to rest on the

Make a duplicate OF it so we can
keep the food in one box and the ice
in the other, advised Mona
Owe can get the cream and butter
in even when there is ice. said Dud-
Fey. "And,' he added, uiumphantly.
chat is about all we ever have left
from a meal anyway"
Dudley thought his troubles ended,
but they had only begun For when
the icebox was really ready for prac-
teal use each morning an tceman had
to be tagged and induced to bring ten
cents worth of ice up three flights of
stairs. Each morning and evening the
pan under the box had to be emptied
to avoid serious complications with the
people in the fiat below If Louise or
Mona stayed downtown to dinner and
Dudley went home he was greeted IN
the parlor by a sign, Don't forget tc

another, Empty the pan,
In self-protection he finally balanced
the box over the sink whenever Louise
was going out to dinner. If, during
the day, the ice shifted it's position
as it usually did-the cream bottle as
sumed a horizontal position and some
one had to be sent down three flights
of stairs after cream for dinner.

CREATED FOR YOU.

you,
oh. baby. with brown eyes and baby with
blue,
Oh baby with gray eyes and baby with
black.
It was made and Whlrleo OUT on eter-

TO just make a playground all colors
and gold,
All sapphire, and lumber, and green, and

That we who are old are permitted TO
stay
To help you, and guard you, and watch
DER your play.
For we who are old yesterday were as
you;
We were babies with black eyes, and
gray eyes, and blue;
We romped in the meadows, and laugh
ed in the sun,
And at night, tired out with our frolic
and fun,
We crept to our mother so loving and
sweet
And she in one hand held our two tiny
feet,
And one arm held around us, and taught
us to pray,
All, yes, we were babies like you yes
terday!
Our papa stood by US as yours stands
by you,
And he stopped, just like this, for
sweet kiss or two;
And his look as he held out his arms
wide apart
His look-why twas just like the throb
In our heart
When we stand by your mothers and
watch while you pray.
We grown-ups were babies like you yes
terday!
And the Lord let's us stay here, and play
here with you,
Because when you're weary we know
what to do.

timepiece. How she came into pos
session of this watch, and later Of it
counterpart, is thus told In the Boston
Transcript:
Years ago, in the days Of the Ell 4
pire, an American minister found It
necessary, Of course, on occasions to
seek an interview with the Emperor.
and in this he always was mindfdl of
the necessity Of making these inter
views as brief as possible and o. with
drawing as soon as he could from
the Emperor's presence, making it e.
sential for him to keep watch on tho
passing of time. How to do so was
a problem, for to consult ones watch
openly in the presence Of the royal
parsonage manifestly would be q great
breach of etiquette; yet in the audi
ence chamber there was no tmepiece
by which those received by the EN-
peror could be guided in the least in
the matter Of time.
The American representative at the
court of France by good fortune came
into possession Of watch which was
extraordinary in its construction and
which made It possible for him to
tell nearly the correct time merely by
feeling Of the watch while it was con-
cealed in hts clothing. This he could
do, with little practice, in so clever
a way that it could not be detected
This proved safer for him than to rely
upon his judgment In the passing Of
time during an interview granted by
the Emperor, and 1t Is history that he
was particularly successful in conse-
Quence in his diplomatic work.
It is this same historic watch which
Helen Keller now owns, and 1t came
to her as gift from Hon. John Hitz,
formerly consul-general from Switzer-
land to Washington, D. G. He was a
friend Of the ambassador from whom
he came into possession of the watch.
Mr.. Hitz is superintendent Of the
Volta bureau for the diffusion and dis
tribution Of knowledge relating to the
deaf. He has long been one Of Miss
Keller's best friends. That the git
has been appreciated is shown by the
fact that Miss Keller has learned to
tell the hour with remarkable aceu-
racy, or to within two minutes of the
exact time, wholly by the delicacy Of
her touch.
The second watch, which was mol
eled on the plan of the original, was
presented to her by another friend
who had it made expressly for her in
Switzerland

AS soon as men were able to walk
on glacier from one end to the 9TH
er. they began to look and search and
remember and compare, and finally
they discovered the secret Of the thing.
In "A Pleasure Book Of GrindeIwald,"
Daniel p. Rhodes describes this Sc
cret:
They knew at the outset that Ice Is
very remarkable substance which be-
HAYES In a manner peculiar to itself;
and they next learned that to three
of the properties of ice is due the
phenomenon of glaciers.
First, its Elasticity permits Of its
| flowing downward, under sufficient
pressure, in the direction Of the least
resistance. Glaciers may, therefore, ac-
cOmmodate themselves to the most tor
tuous valleys
| Another tribute of ice, in respect
Of which il is singular among viscous
bodies, is It's inability to yield much
to tension; hence, when there Is a
strain upon 1t, owing to variations in
the direction or in the rate Of prog
ress Of glacier, it is rent into great
assures called crevasses.
These crevasses do not, as Is some
times asserted, always penetrate to the
| bottom Of a glacier, but are of differ
ent depths and shapes. Usually these
crevasses extend in the direction OF
the width of the glacier, but on very
steep incline they are often intersected
by longitudinal crevasses and in this
manner are formed tall blocks Of Ice
| which are soon worn by the weather
into the beautiful pinnacles seen In the
ice-falls Of most large glaciers.
It Is a third attribute of ice which
enables a glacier to maintain itself
compact mass in spite of all this fric-
ton. Where two pieces Of ice near
the melting point are brought int, con
| tact they freeze together SO perfect
" as to obliterate all traces Of tkefr
original surfaces. To this property
of ice, which Mr. Tyndall calls regela-
ton, is due not only the closing up Of
crevasses, but also the very beginnings
of the glaciers themselves. 1t hap
pens this way:
In the higher region3 of the Alps
more snow falls in winter than Is melt
ed In summer; and a constant re-
arrangement Of both the old snow and
the new Is being caused, winter and
summer, by the alienation between
heat and cold which occurs in clear
weather between each day and night.
The fresh dry snow is melted by the
sun and afterward frozen again in
granules Of ice.
With the frequent repetition Of this
process the particles become imper-
fectly fused together, forming that pc
culiar crust called neve, which con-
stantly increases in depth until the
lower part of it, according to the prin-
ciple o. regulation, is so compressed
by the weight Of the mass above it as
to become a fairly compact body Of
Ice, that seeks to escape by the most
con 7enient channel. This is the begin
ming of the glacier.
