QUEER WAYS OF BOYS.

A mother of three lusty schoolboys
had just superintended their evening
lessons and packed them of TO bed.
then she sat down with a laughing
sigh and asked a question: Why do
boys have to follow each motion they
make with a pencil with awful con
tortions of the face? Frogs are the
things that are noted for reflex ac-
ton, aren't they? Well, they are
nothing compared to my boys. The
movement OF a pencil is reflected ia
every muscle of their funny little
faces. and sometimes I think I can
tell whether they are doing multipli-
cation or addition just by the way
their noses wrinkle. Thank fortune
that elaborate copy book writing is
a thing of the past. If they went in
for those curly capital AS and E's
my boys would cease TO look human.
1t would simply end by my taking
them out of school. because I will
have them educated, If it is possible.
but I'll have them presentable at all
costs"-New York Sun.

Rescued Man Tells OF Three Days of
Agony = Tapping That Saved
His Ldfe-F1ve Compan-

Bakersfield, Cal, Dec. "a. - L. B.
Hicks was released at 11:25 Saturday
night. Ne sooner was the way left
open than Hicks began to scrape away
the rocks and dirt and crawl toward
the opening With arms in front of
his head he went into the miniature
tunnel which had been dug and began
to work his way slowly through to
the other SIDE of the car. When he
had progressed about half way he
stopped, and Superintendent Frank
Miller, who stood at the tube at the
mouth of the shaft, Immediately called
and asked what was the matter. "Oh,
nothing" Hicks called back. I'm just
going to stop. I'm out Of wind My
wind is very short, you know"
Mtees the Men Who Saved Him.
Then the man of iron moved a few
inches farther toward freedom and
his arms were seized by DR. Stingfeld
and Miner Gents. The two, exerting
all their strength, pulled the miner into
the main tunnel, where he was placed
in a sitting position. And there, a hun
dred feet from the face of the noun
tain and within a step of where the
miner had lain entombed for nearly
sixteen days, occurred a pathetic
scene. DR.. Stinchfeld with tears in
his eyes and his hands laid affection
ately on Hicks shoulders, said: well,
how are you, old boy?"
First Tears Hicks Has Shed.
And there were tears in the eyes Of
Hicks as WELL the only tears that have
shown themselves in all the days and
nights since he was entombed, as he
replied 'T am feeling fine. 1 can
never thank you, doctor, for what you
have done" And then came Super
intendent Cone, the man who had
stayed by the work day and night di-
recting every interest, personal and of
his company as well, to aid in the
rescue Of the miner He came for
ward and took Hicks by both hands

AN APPEAL.
D. santa Claus-

Dear Santa Claus
I never heard of you until this morn
ing when I met Lord Fauntleroy-the
rich little pug who lives on the avenue.
YOU know He ran away from his
nurse just for a lark. and we played
mud pies in a street puddle. He told
me about the wonderful presents you
brought him last Christmas, the pink
and blue ribbons. the stunning leather
collar, studded with brass nails, the
harness with tinkling bells. the rubber
bouncing ball. and the toy mouse that
ran the length OF a string. Now. I'm
only a yeller alley dog. lame in one leg.
blind in one eye. and I'd never dream
OF asking anything half so splendid as
you gave Fauntleroy. but if you could
bring me a bone, it would be simply
great! Fauntleroy says you always
put your pres sents into stockings; that
Elizabeth Maud. the little girl he be-
longs TO- loaned him one of hers Christ
mas eve and they hung it up with his
name printed on a slip of paper pinned
to the heel. But you see, 1 don't be-
long to anybody and can't borrow a
stocking. so If you'N just drop my
bone into an ash barrel instead. III be
much obliged-the barrel at the end
Of the alley is the easiest to knock
over. I can think of nothing that
want except the bone only. on Christ
mas day, if you'll put it into the heart
OF passers- by--a man, a woman or q
little child-to stop just a moment, pat
my head, and say "doggie' nice and
kind and soft. you know I'd appreciate
it down to the ground!
Truly Yours,
A WELLER ALLEY DOG.
