Drawbacks to a Chaperon.

ssWhy do they always build boxes
in theaters that hold just even num-
bers, I wonder?" queried the young
girl who had just begun to 60 out
evenings. "They are always made
to. accommodate four people or six
people, and that seems so silly of
the managers, when they know as
well as anybody else that you always
have to take a chaperon along. Of
course the chaperon always makes
an odd number, and it seems like a
sin to waste that extra seat just be-
cause one must take her along. It's
bad enough to have her anyway
without the host being forced to pay
for two seats for her. AS to inviting
an extra girl or fellow, why, that is
the worst possible mistake that one
could make. No, the only solution
is to build boxes that will seat Ell

The Great Majestic charcoal iron ronge
has again taken the first prize over al
competitors at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition at Portland, Oregon. In fact this
range has taken the first prize at every
local or international fair during the past
10 years. In order to encourage other
manufacturers of ranges to make an effort
to improve the lines that are usually put
upon the markets, medals of various
kinds have been awarded, either gold
medals. silver medals and sometimes
leather medals. It is true that the many
different range manufacturers have made
special effort to improve their lines and
capture the first prize, but up to the pres
ent time the Great Majestic has been
awarded first prize on every occasion both
in the United States and in the foreign
countries. Morse Hardware Company

PUTTING Him RIGHT.

A spirited looking bay horse
hitched to an unusually smart de-
livery wagon stood in front of a
grocery. The driver had gone in
side, and the horse, being left alone,
came in for considerable admiring
attention from the small boys of the
neighborhood. One youth of grimy
appearance was particularly inter
ested. He prodded the horses TANKS,
rubbed his nose and otherwise en-
deavored to gain practical knowl-
edge of equine anatomy and DISPOSE
ton. While he was thus proceeding
with his investigation the driver
came out.
ssHi, there, kd!" he shouted in
genuine alarm. @What do you mean
BY fooling around this horse that
way? He'll bite your head off the
first thing you know"
The boy studied the situation
calmly.
mo, he, WON'T" he said. It'll
be the last thing I'll know. New

literature in the form of a biograph-
lcal sketch embodying much in re-
gard to Foster, who, It appears, was
the son of Hopestill Foster. whose
Christian name is still borne by q
street in Dorchester. John was born
IN what is now south Boston in
1913 and was graduated at Harvard
at the age Of nineteen and taught
school in Dorchester, several wears
later establishing his printing office
IN Boylston street, near Washington
in 1875.
It has been supposed that Foster
did his engraving merely incidental
to his printing, but DR.. Green has
discovered IN old letter showing that
ne was engraving four years at least
before he began printing. A map
OF New England, which he made in
1877, is inscribed, ssThe first that
ever was cut here" He is known to
have engraved seal of Massachu-
setts, a very crude portrait of the
Rev. Richard Mather, the first of
the Mathers, and a view of Boston
and Charlestown, from Noodles is
land, not an example of which is
known to be in existence today. He
was the author of six almanacs.
Foster died at the early age of
thirty-three, in 1851, and his grave
in the old Dorchester burial ground
is still marked by two ornate stones,
