Fine Old

A fine old game! Do you remem-
Der when you played it?
Pinch him and pound him, haul
him and mall him!
That is the way it begins. And
1t begins as soon as she is out of
the cradle.
Of course, that is the way the
boy finds out she loves him.
Never was a baby girl born who
failed to end her second year by
pulling the hair of the youngest, of
whom she is fondest. The harder
she loves him the harder she pulls
Now isn't that just like a baby

asked.
Then young American rose in his
dignity and disgust; Who'd hurt
girl?" said he.
But the truth of it was he liked
it. He enjoyed being pounded and
pulled around. He liked it because
she did it. So, who'd hurt a
girl?"
Now isn't that just like a little
boy, a middle sized boy and a full

MRS. CORDER'S
CODE WORD

Natives in raiment of brilliant
hues thronged the pier and there
was much chattering and great con
fusion as Gordon Corder escorted
his wife and child aboard the P.
& o mail steamer at Stengahpore.
They were going to visit the old
home In England. Corder hoped
to follow in a year. 1t might be
three. He was a junior partner of
large London firm and one of the
shrewdest merchants in the town,
but business had been dull. The
full partnership for which he was
working seemed far In the future.
BE sure and telegraph the mo-
ment you reach London" Corder
told her at the moment Of parting.
That l have arrived safely and
my health"
mo, no, think of the cable tolls"
he said. "a code word that we will
know tells your good health and
your safe arrival. Just a word"
VERY well, let's make it Marien-
bad. shall stop there on the way
to London"
Next day the dlsconsolate Cor
der started for three-days stay at
coffee plantation far from the
railroad and telegraph.
During his absence there came
to his assistant at Stengahpore
from London the message: Pat
mons, Stingahpore, Marienbad."
Mrs. Corder had addressed it to
the firms cable address. To Cor
der's assistant it was a business
message. But "Marienbad" puzzel-
ed him. Finally, in list of spec
ial code words, he found 1t. Buy
up all tin available" was the def
milton.
| Corder's orders to his assistant
had been to make no speculative
purchases, but such an order from
the London headquarters was not
to be ignored. In three days all
the tin in the towns along the
coast had been bought for Corder's
account. LAG
That individual on the way home
from his vacation was startled to
learn there had been a tremendous
bulge in tin. He ground his teeth
and cursed his luck for being away
at time when there was such a
chance for doing good business
His assistant had been warned not
to speculate, so clearly the oppor-
tunity had passed and the trip to
England would be further deferred.
Anything happened?' he asked
when he reached the office.
Tremendous business" exclaim.

 St. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-The note struck by the radical press in review ing the past year and commenting on the outlook for the new year is an ex- tremely pessimistic one. These news papers generally see no prospect of internal peace, but they unite in ex- pressing the hope that 1906 will not end as did 1905, with the spirit of reaction strongly in the ascendant.

 The list of new year honors is notaz ble for the number of decorations be- slowed on the officials associated with the policy of repression. M.
