Where Children Are Sold,

On the same steamer by which !
reached Benguela there were five little
native hoys, conspicuous in striped
jerseys, and running about the ship
like rats. suppose they were about
10 to ~ years old. perhaps less. l co
not know where they came from, but
it must have been from some fairly
distant part OF the Interior for like

hands and knees. They were travel.
ing with a Portuguese and within a
week of landing at Bcnguela he had
sold them all 10 other white owners.
Their price was so milreis apiece
tncar t1o). Their owner did rather
we'll, for the boys were small and thin
hardly bigger than another native
slave boy who was at the same time
given away by one Portuguese friend
10 another as a New Years present.
But all through this part of the conn-
try have found The price of human
beings ranging rather higher than
expected, and the man who told me
the price of the boys had himself
been offered one OF them at that fis-
ure. and was simply passing on the
offer on TO myself.--Henry W. Nivin.

her clothes. Not a sound had been
heard In the house and the escape
was 80 prosaic that it was robbed Of
half its romance.
But she was safe out of the clutches
OF the ogre, at any rate, and at the
corner of the street which led to the
station she pressed my hand in graf
itude and LETT me as the train footed
in the distance.
i went back to my room thrilling
with the delicious excitement of the
occurrence. The next morning l was
aroused by q terrible hullabaloo next
door and I chuckled to myself.
THE old ogre has found that his
prisoner is missing" grinned to my
self. Then l heard the sound of the
old mans voice in violent alterca-
ton with my landlord.
Il tell you," he shouted. somebody
from this house has assisted in this
daring robbery. All my silverware

and her pal! l watched her pretty
somebody from your house has helped
her get away with the plunder I'll
have the law on him. If I find out
who he is. that's what I'll do!''
The old man stormed around like
a wild man. but for reasons of my
own said nothing Of my part in the
transaction. l soon convinced myself
that the old fellow spoke the truth
and that Araminta, whose real name
was Mulligan. instead of Montmoren-
cy, had merely played upon my cred
ulity. suppose Susan, who had over
heard my story of my dream had re-
peated it to the Mulligan girl during
a servants gossip.
Somehow 'Araminta" didn't sound
nearly so sweet after that and the
chug-chug of the car wheels seemed
to say, Oh the way TO the Office:
She fooled you! She fooled you,
She fooled YOU"
But say. "Araminta" sounded awful
ly sweet the way the girl In the dream

The New Lamp Shades in the Making.

and when water color floral designs
are beyond the purse or the art of
the lamp shade desiring person then
wall paper will do.
The new shades are made i'll any
possible shape. They may be square,
rounded. slightly sloping or exceed
ingly slanting.
They may not. however be globu-
lar. but must present a fat surface
or ser.es of surfaces. no matter how
sloping. The foundation consists of
an ordinary shade, covered with China
or some other equally thin and un-
pretentious silk. or it may be crepe
or crepe paper Of a solid color and
gathered slightly.
This fabric is fastened to the shade
al the top and bottom in regular but
not very full gathers, as is the case
with most foundation shades on which
fancy cover is to be built
II one can paint in water colors
the next thing is to cut out of water
color paper a piece shaped exactly
TO the lamp shade. This piece is then
painted in floral or fruit design or
in Z design showing pompadour ng-
ures. etc.
After it has been painted all the
blank unpainted spacessare cnt ouk
The Cook County herald., 1905-12-02

The piece of paper is then tackled to
the foundation shade with small
stitches of silk or it is fastened on
with gilt headed tacks or the clamps
used TO fasten several sheets of pa
per together.
In painting a design on the lamp
shade it is best to use something that
admits of a great deal of cutting out:
for instance. buncnes Of grapes in a
trellis, roses clambering over a lat
tice. lunches Of cherries with their
leaves and connected throughout the
design by their stems, ETC., are very
good. These all permit of many open
spaces which can be cut away, thus
leaving the shade more light and
open. :.+.
In all these instances the founda-
ton shade which shows through the
open spaces is OF the color of the
design or one that contrasts prettily
with it. For instance, design of
green grapes on pale brown lattice
would be made up on a pale green or
a white shade. an exquisite design of
cabbage roses is made up on 4 pink
shade or green one design Of
yellow iris is made up on 1 cream
color silk shade and SO on.-New

CASTING OUT. THE. EVIL ONE.
Farmer Paid Much Money for Peace
that Didn't Come.

that Didn't Come.
From a town near Erfurt in Ger
many comes this tale of a wise
woman" an ignorant farmer and an
imitation Beelzebub. The wise wom-
an" lives at Langensalza and claims to
have the power to cast out evil spir-
its. A farmer and his family who had
for some time been troubled by evil
dreams and harassed by various minor
misfortunes came to the conclusion
that Satan had his hand .n their af-
fairs, so they consulted the wise
woman" She prescribed that the
family should go to certain spot
among the neighboring hills, where
they were to bury new earthen pot
containing several gold coins. The
devil, attracted by the money, would
empty the pot and leave the family in
peace.
A novelty was introduced by the
wise woman into the program. This
was the letting off of fireworks from
the spot where the money was buried
as soon as the duped family had re-
tired on their way home. These sa
tanic pyrotechnics we're managed by
an accomplice, but the wise woman"
explained to the farmer that they We're
caused by Beelzebub's departure with
mammon.
But these offerings to the evil one
brought no relief. although the sums
in the earthen pot went on increasing.
Light at last dawned on the farmer
He put the matter in the hands Of the
police. His payments to procure re-
lease from Satan's attentions amount
ed to 10000 marks ($l6.8OO).
