had endured a three days rainstorm.
There was some delay at the bridge over
the Schuylkill river, and the humorist,s

,"It reminded me so much of my wv dear
Chicago river" he afterwards explained.
He placed a OBTAINING a on the arm

CHAPTER XIX.
IN WHICH A LAWYER HATH HIS
EEE

What Richards mos natural resent
ment would have led to, in what new
tangle OF the net Of bitterness we might
have been enmeshed, we were spared
the knowing. For when he said, "She
is not here" two happenings inter-
vened to give us bother other things
TO think OF.
The first was the advent, at the far
end OF the oak-lined avenue, OF a
troop OF British Lighthouse, trotting
lelsurely; the second was the swinging
inward OF the door OF u~nwelcome, with
old Anthony Srinning and bowling be-
hing 1t.
Now when ybu have fairly surprised
a fox in the open, he asks nothing more
than a hole to hide him in. There were
ne h-.nters coming up the avenue; and
l.ere was or ~dodge-hole gaping be-
fore us. So, es h.-g,~ted things will, we
took earth quickly; though, truly,
twas an o~strich-trick rather than a
foxrs, since we left the horses stand
ing without to advertise our presence
TO all and sundry.
II was Richard who first found the
wit to realize the ostrich-play.
THE horses,-we may as well have
left the town crier outside to ring his
bell and tell the redcoats we are here
he would say; and before | knew what
he would be at he nae snatched the
door open and was whistling softly TO
the big gray.

Eeadinu ths EaII Calf.

When one has a calf which IL is desired

care In its early years is OF vital Inn
portance. If In a section where the calf
cannot GO out OF doors a great deal dur
ing the winter some provision should be
so thai she may have exercise in
an enclosure which Is dry and where some
sun may be had IL possible. To a certain
extent this is quite as important as the
food the calf a One OF the best RAJ
lions for the calf is skim-milk. but IL
will not do TO make this any considerable
of the ration for the day, but In addition
the calf should have all the good clover
hay Ii will eat. III this Is not possible then
let the supply Of corn fodder given be not
MY liberal. but of the best quality; pick
out tho smaller stalks, those that retain
some OF the green IL possible. IL the calf
Is 3 months old. t~hereabouts. the grain
food should consist OF from two TO four
pounds daily and may be corn and oats
fed whole. although a mixture of eqrai
parts of corn meal. ground oats and wheat
bran will be found more satisfactory.
Bear in mind about handling the calf as
advised a few weeks ago. Treat 1t gently.
but do not spoil 4 by petting. Teach Ii
habits of cleanliness by always keeping

A Day for Candy Makers.

There is a street in Paris to which
New Years day is a whole years for

where the wholesale confectioners re-
side. For days preceding January L
this street is blocked with agons
loaded with sweetmeats ready for ship

tions made of sugar and hollow to hold
bonbons. 1t Is said that for sweetmeats
alone 500. 900 is spent annually on this
day in Paris. Jewelry Is also sold in
great quantities, for no Frenchman
calls empty handed. The day is filed
with exchange of visits and bonbons,

An Error on the Stage.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
The late Mrs. Gilbert, the veteran actress.
was telling some of her experiences. Once,
at a reception in Chicago. she said:
: "One of my earliest speaking parts was
played here in your city, n / was very
nervous. l was so very nervous, In fact,
that on the first night l made an error
that nearly ruined the performance.
II had a small part, the part of an old
nurse. There was a dying king, a william
and a band Of music In the piece, and the
band of music was supposed to be very
fine. The queens life, indeed. was to come
near beng ruined through he strange,
sweet seductiveness Of this band. Nothing
but compliments and batteries of the band
lwere to be heard on every side.
"Well, in the third act, while the band
was playing it's best, I had to rush on and
cry;
"'Stop the music. The king Is dead.
What l did In my nervousness was to
rush on and cry:
Stop the music. 1t has killed the
king"

1T requires eternal vigilance for 0 re
porter TO bag his game. leaving not "a
single chance for escape. II might be
further said, however. that the ele-
ment of luck does creep In now and
then. either to a newspaper mans adj
vantage or to his ruin. When Reginald
Foster was one of the craft. he be-
came famous as the luckiest OF re-
porters. He was alert. energetic, and
capable Of writing an excellent story
when he landed it. but seemed to have
a mascot perennial and eternal. Wher-
ever he went he stumbled upon a
beat, He hap ,ened to be reporting
a st. Patricx's day parade. and went
into the Windsor hotel TO telephone his
office, when the fateful fire started in
that hostelrv. resulting in the horrible
deaths of several hundred persons.
Foster abandoned the parade. and
helped rescue the imprisoned pa
irons of the burning hotel. and
night wrote a graphic account
OF the fire from start to finish. He
was the mos. available reporter in New
York when tho great Hoboken fire
started. and, hiring a steamer in the
name OF his newspaper he saved many
lives before the iremen could render
aid. When President Mckinley was
assassinated at Buffalo. the first news

The Senses of the Word.


From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Ssh is a lady in every sense of tn.
word" exclaimed Biifkins.
Then she is the most remarkable wom-
an that ever lived" replied Johnson.
What do you mean2 Aren't there
plenty of ladies' In the world?"
Yes; but not in every sense Of the word.
For instance, II the women is what you
say, she is not only a woman of good fam
lily or OF good breeding and refinement.
bur she is also, according to the Century
dictionary. "a sweetheart Qocal United
States); a slate measure about sixteen
inches broad and ten long; the calcareous
apparatus in the cardiac part of the stom-
ach of the lobster, the function Of which
is the t~rituration Of food And If she is
all that, her fortune is made in the mu-
scum line"
After that 1t wac noted that Blifkins
usually pruned down the the remarks to
'she Is a lady" simply.

Giant Railroad Stations.

From the Philadelphia North American
st. Louis, with its mammoth rail-
road station, is to be outdone by a
German city. Consul General Guen-
Their, of Frankfort. Germany, reports to
the state department that, according
to a German newspaper, the new main
railroad station at Leipzig. now being
constructed, will be the largest in the
lworld--that is. In covered ~area-920, SIS
square feet. 1t will have twenty-six
tracks, The cost of construction will
be $40, $40, 900, of which the city OF
Leipzig contributes $3,S0S,QO0. Several
millions are to be borne by the Ger
man federal postofice department for
a separate postoffice station. which
will not be completed before 1914.
At the present time the main rail-
road station at st. Louis. with an area
of 49, 50 square meters, and thirty-two
tracks, occupies the first place; fol-
lowed. In respective order, by the South
station at Boston, the st. Lazare sta

THE Sportsman's Year Book for 1905
George Newnes; Charles Scribner's Sons),
edited by A. Wallis Myers. We have the
records, TO be sure, and rather jaunty
but superficial account Of the principal
forms OF sport for the past year. This
can also be had, and much better done,
In the pages devoted 20 sport in a great
many almanacs. With the space at COM
mand ten times the information provided
could have been given and really valuable
book Of reference made. The last part
Of the book. containing biographies Of
sporting characters, Is decidedly useful.
II ia curious TO note that in the order Of
sports, next 70 horse racing, cricket and
football, motor racing and motor boating
should have pushed in ahead Of golf.
A mass Of statistics and tables Of all
sorts that may throw light on sociological
questions will be found in the year book
for 1905 called Social Progress, Of which
Josiah Strong Is editor Che Baker and
Taylor Coz. The book IL packed with useful
and condensed information and enlivened
by brief extracts from various sociolo-
gists on their own particular lines Of work.
At the end IL a review Of social work in all
countries Of the world. The book would
gain much by a little more system In arrange
ment.

Newman has written with the same critical
Independence he OSerclsed in his former
work, but without approaching contro-
versialism. The book is in the end just
what It was intended to be- namely, an eI-
PLANTATION Of the music Of the remarkable
series Of dramas OF Wagner and Of the
characteristics OF the man who created
them.
+ The volume has the advantage Of coming
into existence since the publication Of
some highly important Wameriana, and
Mr.. Newman has found valuable sugges-
tions In the Glasenapp life and the Wesen-
donok letters. The study Of the music
is clear and instructive and points out
some earmarks Of Wagner which the 'sit
motif ohroniclers have failed to notice.
There Is good chapter on the photography
Of the subject and an excellent chronological
table.
