MOTHS FOND OF PRUNEs.

top of the package, and as | cut the

WOMEN DANCE FOR MOUSE.
Feminine Panic When Little Animal
Came Out for Stroll.

At exactly GAS o'clock Thursday
morning little brown mouse stole out
from the main corridor at Seventh and
Olive streets and took a short consti-
tutional of about twenty-five feet west
in Olive, says the st. Louis Post-Dls-
patch. In the course of that innocent
jaunt he frightened so many women
that a feminine panic ensued and so
much screaming and scampering about
was done that the mouse started back
for the more masculine calm OF the
Missouri-Lincoln Trust building.
As he gained the entrance, however,
a large and formidable-looking woman
espied him and, with wild shrek,
and frenzied grasping of the skirts,
began executing such a remarkable
dance on the sill of the big skyscraper
that the mouse lost his head and sour
ried clear across Olive street.
Arriving at the curb on the south
side, he passed under a carriage from
which two women were alighting and
emerged on the sidewa} k simultaneous
ly with them. At once they set up an
cutlery and circled around on the pave
ment in a dismayed minuet such as
has never before been seen in st.
Louis. BY this time a big crowd had
gathered and the laughter of men and
boys mingled with the shrieking and
screaming of women and girls. The
The uproar became so appalling to the
mouse that finally, reckless of conse-
quences, he precipitated himself
through an open grating into a cellar
and has not been seen since. His
unusual and uncommon experience
while in quest of little fresh air last
ed Just five minutes.

LIFTS MEN oUTsoF RUTS.
Merchants System Gets Work from
His EMPLOYEES.

His Employees.
A well known employer, whose force
is one of the largest in the country,
has a system of wedding out dead
timber" among his employees. This
man is philanthropist. He helps
more men to find themselves, possibly,
than any dozen training schools. His
system is philanthropy elevated to the
highest plane. When he notices that
g. man begins to show signs that he
is falling into rut at one kind OF
work he promptly changes him to
some other kind of employment. If
there also his disposition is to become
mechanical in his work, he is shifted
again. Two or three changes will
either put him in a place where he can
expend his energy to the best advan-
tage of himself and the house, or show
decisively that his sphere of activity,
if he has any, is somewhere else.
Then he is discharged.
81 absolutely will not have men in
my employee who fall into rut," is
the way this employer puts it. 81

TASTE TELLS ONE LITTLE.
Unassisted by Sense Of Smell, onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.

Unassisted by Sense Of Smell, onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.
"Do you really think that you can
distinguish the tastes of potatoes and
onions?" was the unusual question
that Prof. Burtis Burr Breese asked
his psychology class at the University
of Cincinnati the other morning.
81 have yet to see the Individual
who could tell them apart when they
were reduced to the same consistency
and when the sense of taste only was
used"
At this point Miss Luella Latta,
member Of the class, showed some evil
dences of doubling, and the professor
asked her If she would not exhibit to
the class exactly how discriminating
her sense of taste was.
He explained that he did not have
the potatoes and onions on hand, but
that he had something far more de-
cided in its taste and quite as familiar
to most people.
Then Miss Latta was asked to step
up to the rostrum and when she was
seated Prof. Breese told her that she
must not breathe through her nose
that is, she must rely altogether on the
taste and that he was certain she
would be. unable to distinguish the
three things that he then proceeded
to give her separately.
She failed, quite as the professor
predicted, and he then told the class
that Miss Latta had not been able to
tell wintergreen from peppermint or
peppermint from cloves.
'In fact" he said, none OF you can
tell the difference simply by the sense
of taste. The taste is aided greatly
by the sense of smell. All you really
taste is sweet and sour, salt and bit
ter."-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Beyond.
Never n word is said,

Never word Is said,
But it trembles in the air,
And the truant voice has sped
To vibrate everywhere;
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears.
Never are kinds acts done.
To wipe the weeping eyes.
But. like flashes of the sun.
They signal to the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need,
Never day is given
But 1t tones the after-years,
And 1t carries up to Heaven
It's sunshine or Its tears;
While the to-morrows stand and walt
The silent mutes by the outer gait
There is no end to the sky.
And the stars are everywhere;
And time 1t eternity,
And here Is over there;
For the common deeds of the common
day
Are ringing the bells in the far away.

It was in one of our city parks. The
gray figure Of the guard moved leis-
urely down the main gravel path,
whistling softly to himself, as peo-
pie are apt TO do when at leisure. A
glorious May sun was shedding its
rays over the green lawns and the
sprouting trees, with their various,
colored buds. Birds were chirping
their noisy little song of spring and
happiness. A balmy wind played
with the crowns of the trees and
bushes, now and then shaking clus-
ter of pink and white blossoms from
the mother stem.
McGrady, the park police. was just
turning into one Of the many side
paths, when a slight noise, as the
breaking of twigs, arrested his foot
and he turned, staring sharply at a
cluster of bushes, from which the
blossom-covered top of an apple tree
gazed forth most conspicuous. Every
thing was quiet now, yet, McGrady,
undaunted, approached and confronted
a small woman in poor, yet tidy ap-
parel, with worn face, decidedly
German. She had a frightened look
in her eyes and endeavored to hide
her right hand back of her.
Drop that, Ma'am!" sternly came
from EcGrady's lips, whose clear
eyes had detected mutilated branch
over his head.

her eyes pleadingly sought the griz-
zled features before her.
Don't yc know, that yer not ter

out into the sunny path, trembling
violently. She had dropped the spray
of velvety blossoms and her thin,
horny hands clasped each other.
"Now, Ns'aE, dye see thot there

tlei with feeling Of duty.
Yes, she could read, she said. A
weak voice. but quivering with sup

Officer McGrady turned his back on
the shame-faced cnlprit, when few
words caused him to halt. Words, that
struck his ear like sigh, words that
brought back to the old man scenes of
by-gone years.
