The Charms Of Mystery.

eyes-they are very aggrevating eyes.
| have known them to look very nice,
violet depths and all that sort of thing,
but-you may as we'll know the truth
they can look very wishy-washy at
times
And your hair is nondescript, and
you don't do it very well, either.
They say girls characters take after
their hair, but | shall never believe
I'm a nondescript character-never.
III fact, I'm of opinion | am very in

me many heart ache, by the way.
Yet the fact remains that you and 1

wishy-washy. Let's talk it over SEN
sibly. You and l, little face, were not
intended to go through life unappre-
ciated. Now, what's to be done? The
nondescript, badly dressed hair is our
principle obstacle-and the wishy-
washy eyes. We might wear wig,
but that would be playing it rather
low.
"No; | have an idea. It's our in.

all. We will not remain unappreci-

1t was at a we'll known riverside
boarding house, under management OF
a highly respectable middle aged man
and his wife-Mr. and Mrs. Russell.
The guests comprised one or two OF
the usual elderly spinsters, a gouty
major, buxom widow and her two
daug hters, an engineer and one or two
average young men.
1t had been wet day, so guests,
instead of going on the river, were
lounging about the hall, smoking and
gossiping.
Presently little excitement was
caused by the advent of new arrival.

slender, and dressed in long fawn

When Mrs. Russell came forward
to receive her she spoke in a quiet,
pretty voice, but did not lift her
veil.

people to lunch in their hats and out.
door clothes if they wanted to, so when
Miss Rowland (that was the new ar.
rivals name) came down still in the
dust cloak and thick veil, there was
no surprise, only disappointment.
She turned the veil just above her
mouth, very pretty mouth and chin,
as the engineer, the gouty major and
the few average young men promptly
decided.
The engineer opened conversation.
Can pass you the salt and pep

| tones.
"Thank you, no; don't take condi-
ments," said the mouth.
Not take condiments" said the en-
gineer.

THE BUSY MAN.

Once there was business man
As busy as bee;
For not thing but business cares
The slightest time had he,
He had no time to stop at home,
He had no time to play,
He had no time to greet his friends,
So lost them day by day.
He had no time his children's love
And confidence to gain;
He had no time to see his wife
And they were growing twain.
He had no:time to pleasure take
In money he made fast;
He had no time for present joys,
Nor sweet thoughts OF the past.
He had no time to laugh or sing,
To love or mourn or pray;
He had no time to give to aught
But deals closed every day.
He had no time to eat or sleep,
But snatched bit of each;
He had no time for all the good
Life placed within his reach.
And SO years passed-he had no time
To live, as one could see,
But he had time, at last, to die
Time for eternity!

Humanity and Machinery.

Machinery is the cornerstone of mod ern society, the very foundation on which law, science, ethics, the arts. even the state itself. rests. 1t is so new that we do not yet know it's poetry. We do not yet understand. Only two generations have lived be- side the highway of steam; only one has seen the Besscmer converter trans form the blacksmith into the master builder of ships and towers. The sew ing machine, the far speaker, the type writer. are common things of today, ac cepted as a matter of daily conven- fence. and yet are they teachers of the people. Machines that come close to our lives and homes insensibly teach truth, precision, the adjustment of uni versal laws to human needs, respect for that wise American idea that labor saved is labor released for high CT and nobler toil The machine is the head master of the high school of the race.-Reader Magazine.

Letters In England Not Private.

You cannot regard any letter you may send through the post as being private. The government has legal right to open any letter or parcel pass ing through the post and is also en- titled, of course, to use any infOrlna- ton thus obtained i'll furtherance of the interests of the law. At one time the official and secret opening of .pri vate' letters was of such common oc. currence that postotfice employees were sent to France to take lessons from an expert in the art of opening and re- sealing letters. In 1912 the postmas- ters of Manchester, Nottingham and Glasgow were instructed to "open all such letters as should appear to be of suspicious nature and likely to con vey seditious information" and so re- gently as fifty years ago there was an agitation to deprive the government of the right to open letters passing through the post. The agitation failed, however, so that your letters are still liable to be opened, and the law would be on the side of the official opener- London Answers

Peabody's Charmed Life.

Its not as easy to get a man as you'd think" said Orchard author itatively He tried Governor Pea body so many times that he came to believe that some sort of providence was guarding him. Orchard and a man known by the name of Simpkins were on this ''job" for d long time, Eventually they got a bomb down just off the walk in front of the Peabody house, and they spent days trying to get the governor. One time Orchard stood with his hand on the wire, with Simpkins waiting across the street to give him the signal. Just as the gov ernor stepped within the radius of the internal machine q coal wagon backed up a few doors away, with it's wheels on the wire.
 Once, Orchard says, he saw Govern or Peabody carelessly sitting in line with window reading. the room brightly lighted and the shades not drawn. Immediately he went for bomb with the idea of placing it on the window sill. It was time fuse bomb, with clock attachment All 1t needed was to Ike hooked together after it was in position. He kept it in dress suit case in his hotel, and as he was going out of the room with 1t an insurance man came in. Where is that clockw' he asked, looking about the room. Or chard said he had no clock, but the man insisted he heard one ticking. Moreover, he stayed so long that alto gether his visit put that particular plan out of commission.
