Comrades.

Bobby was ten years old, and an al
armingly light-hearted and careless
young person. 1t was supposed, how
ever, that he would be capable of es-
corting his grandmother to the family
Christmas dinner, one block away
from her home, without mishap.
He was tall for his age, and he offer
ed his arm to his grandmother in a gal
liant and satisfactory manner as they
started off together.
81 hope he will remember that she
is almost ninety and not try to hurry
enough" said Bobby's mother as she
began to dress her younger children.
But when she arrived at the family par
ty it appeared that grandmother had
turned her ankle and was lying ON the
lounge.
Bobby" said the mother reproach-
where were you when grandma slip
ped?"
"Now won't have that boy blamed"
said grandmother, briskly, smiling up
into Bobby's remorseful face. I'VE
came to a fine ice slide, and he ask
ed me if | thought we could do it, and
I told him | did. And want you chill
dren to remember one thing; when
YOU get to be most ninety you'll count
a turned ankle small thing compar-
ed with having somebody forget that
you've outlived everything but rheu-

Sterrett laughed. Train an under

three weeks to retire from the stage.
She's going bad"
Zulka was a very beautiful young
lioness; one of the best trick beasts
I've ever known and one of the very
few that seemed to have a genuine
affection for the trainer. AS a rule
the felines don't exhibit the softer
indifference or distaste. But this lion

The awarding of the Grand Prize to the
Winchester Repeating Arms Co. New Ha-
ven, Conn, at the St. Louis Exposition,
confers upon this company. the highest
mark of distinction attained by any mann
facturer of guns or ammunition in the
world. Although great number OF med
ais were given, the only award of Grand
Prize was to the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co.; given as it was, in competition
with the leading manufacturers OF all coun-
tries, it testifes decidedly to the superior
ity of Winchester rifles, shotguns and am
munition. The success, attained by the
Winchester Repeating Arms Go. at this
exposition is in line with past honors. AT
the Paris Exposition they received the
Grand Prix, and wherever exhibited have
always been given the highest possible
prizes. This latest recognition of super
iority is the natural result of thirty years
of careful and successful endeavor in main
tanning the high quality of Winchester

Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand
Union Of Saratoga, Has Installed
This Best Of All Artificial Lights-
Means Increased Comfort and
Health.

Saratoga. June 27.-The very name.
Saratoga" brings to every mind
health-giving springs. unsurpassed
hotels and beautiful drives. 1t
has been for many years the
Mecca for all who admire nature,
enjoy good living. and are searching
for health. or are simply taking va
cation.
The Grand Union, the largest sum
mer hotel In the United States, set
among green trees with its long wings
enclosing court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light, Is throughout the season throng-
ed with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, the Grand Union has again add
ed to its attractiveness by introduc-
ing acetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The ge-
nial proprietors believe In furnishing
their guests with the best of every
thing, and now. after investigating
and finding that Artificial Sunlight
can be had, they have installed COM
plete acetylene gas plant to produce
II, and have connected upwards of six
thousand acetylene burners in and
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
Like many discoveries of recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, one of the most re-
cent, is very simply produced. 1t Is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and oper-
ated by anyone.
The generator in which Acetylene
is produced by the automatic contact of
carbide and water might be termed q
gas plant, as 1t performs all of the func-
tions Of city gas plant. The acct
ylene generator can be purchased for
few dollars and in any size. from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or dozen burners for q cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as is now furnishing
Acetylene for six thousand burners
In the Grand Union.
Outside Of large cities the use of
Acetylene is quite common. The
owner Of the country home now de-
mands running water. gas and other
conveniences which n few years ago
were considered as luxuries, and
acetylene gas has met his require
ments, and gives him n better and
cheaper light than is ordinarily fur
nished in cities.
1t is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler. and more healthful be-
cause the air is not yitiated.
