Work Of Real Charity.

A circle Of young women in one
Of the large manufacturing cities has
carried on for several years most
excellent work They take care Of
the children Of poor sick women,
thus relieving them Of the obstacle
to a stay in the hospital Many ten
ement house mothers struggle on to
death itself rather than leave their
little helpless ones until forced to.
The young settlement workers, for
such is really the principle Of their
scheme. have rented house, and as
many as possible Of the temporary
motherless children are received. The
girls serve In turn as residents, stay
ing three weeks at time and be-
ing relieved by system which pre-
vents an entire change at one time
OF the seIf-congtituted guardians In
the event Of the death Of the mother
the children are further looked after
until some permanent arrangement
can be made for them.

1T is a rare occurrence for animals
in a wild state to select man for
a companion and friend. yet well au-
thenticated instances when this has
been done are d matter or record,
says the Courier-Journal. The fol-
lowing incident is vouched for by a
young woman who Is a close and ac-
curate observer Last week my
brother, lad OF 12. killed snake
which was just In the act Of robbing
a song sparrow's nest Ever since
then the male sparrow has shown his
gratitude to George in a truly wonder
full manner. When he goes into
the garden the sparrow will fly TO him,
sometimes alighting on his head, at
ether times on his shoulder. all the
while pouring out tumultuous song
Of praise and gratitude It will ac-
company him about the garden. never
leaving him until he reaches the gar
den gate. George. as you know. Is
quiet boy. who loves animals. and
this may account in a degree for the
sparrow's extraordinary actions"

A huge, finely mounted antlered
head hung just above the sideboard
in the dining-room. This trophy Of
some huntsmans skill was fastened
SO firmly to the wall that the glisten-
ing neck seemed to be coming right
out through the plaster. Robert, who
was seeing this decoration for the
first time. eyed it with lively curiosity
and very evident uneasiness. 1t looked
almost too lifelike for comfort
Finally the boy, asking to be ex.
cused, slipped from his chair. tip
toed into the next room. and then,
flushing with embarrassment, re
turned to his place at the table

The Case Of Renaa.

s Considerable disparity Of opinion has
resulted from the presence of an Afri-
can bushman pygmy boy in a large
cage provided for monkeys in the
Bronx Zoo, New York. The little Afri-
can. whose name is Otto Benga, visited
the st. Louis fair, and, liking the coun-
try, came back with DR.. Werner, a tray
eIer. When he arrived there was diff
ficulty about providing lodging for him.
Benga was too wild for hotel life, even
at the Astoria, and not being used to
civilization, required attentive guar,
dianship. Finding that wild creatures
are made comfortable in the zoo, DR..
Werner saw Director Hornaday, who
said he would take care of Benga, and
gave him quarters at the zoo. Benga
was happy there, but the Colored Bap-
tist Ministers conference took the
view that Benga was giving degrad-
ing exhibition of human being in a
cage with apes, and appointed COM
mittee to do something about it.
Benga, who speaks the Hottentot Ian
guage, was then taken out of the cage.
says the San Francisco Argonaut, and
has gone to North Carolina, where
DIR. Werner will send him to school,
and qualify him to disclose even more
impressively than now how immeasur-
ably far apart is the lowest grade of
human creature from the highest
grade of ape.

A determined woman usually is a
match for anything she opposes. That
truth was demonstrated effectively on
Long Island, when the Meadow Brook
hunt started for a run across country.
Farmers and others have complained
Of the damage done by the horsemen,
but one woman did not complain; she
acted. Some of the riders and their
dogs once before had passed through
her garden patch and clothes-bleach-
ing plat and had left more or less of
a wreck behind. This time she was
prepared to repel invaders. The scent
for the huns had been laid through her
grounds, but she forestalled the gal
liant hunters by pilling up fence rails
and other distinctions so high that the
best jumper among the horses could
not leap over. The hunt came to an
end then and there with one lone
woman behind the barricade holding
the fort in serene satisfaction. 1t is
safe to say. says the Troy IN. "
Times, that hereafter when the chasers
of the elusive anise seed mark out a
course they win avoid this energetic
lady's clothes-drying ground.

THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT.
Hubby Knew What He Was Waiting
for, All Right.

The words ~chiffonier" and "chauf
feur" look very much alike when writ
ten, though in conversation there IS
sufficient difference in the pronuncia-
ton to distinguish very readily. Re
Gently the following dialogue occurred
in which the words were used, though
one of the parties thought Tor while
that his friend didn't know any bet
ter:
"what are you waiting for old
man?g
"Waitin' for my chiffonier. We are
going driving in my auto.
20, no; you mean you are waiting
for your chaffeur-the man that drives
your car
Nope: I'm waiting for my chiffon
ier," stubbornly replied the man.
Il beg your pardon" replied the
other. "a chiff0nier is a swell dresser,
and a chauffeur is one who drives
your car.
That's all right, replied the one
who knew, as a pretty woman, hand
somely dressed, came down the stair
way and got in the machine. I'm
waiting for a chiffonier' all right"

man who has been rihing the mail
boxes Of at least one city has been
caught He was apprehended as he
sought to cash a check he had found
in his loot. The fellow deserves a long
sentence. for in this peculiar form OF
crime there is a contemplate mean
ness absent from some petty offenses.
To steal a letter with money or a
check within may be no worse than
other forms Of larceny, but there are
concomitants that add to the gravity
Of the act. The mail thief does not
discriminate. With access to a bag or
box. he takes whatever packets come
to hand. and those that are worthless
TO him he casts away. The letter that
never comes. may lead to the tragedy
OF broken friendship. It may impair
credit. In it there may be some mes
sage Of priceless import Happiness
and prosperity may have depended
upon its safe delivery. About all these
things the thief has not care. Mis-
sives perhaps more precious than their
weight in gold are to him rubbish In
destroying them he may be doing q
greater actual harm than in diverting
negotiable property. Everybody is in
terested in the safety Of the mails-no
less than others those who never in
trust to them anything but written
words. When letter has been prop
erly stamped and deposited, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, the sender has
right to be secure in the belief that
it viii reach its designated place and
not be rifed by wretched thief. II
such thief is caught the necessity OF
making an example Of him is obvious.
Compared with him, the ordinary pick
pocket seems almost desirable ele-
ment Of society. He is the lowest type
OF criminal vandal

The versatile Emperor of Germany
IS the latest critic Of modern journal
ism. He depIores especially the lack
Of preparation on the part Of those
who engage fla the business Of molding
public opinion. To obtain recognition
in the ministry. the law. medicine, Or
even dentistry. years Of application re-
sulting ia tangible evidence Of pro
fciency are required. This, he thinks,
is as il should be. but in journalism, he
asserts. 4 lad Of 20 may sally forth,
notebook in hand. make q collection OF
baseIess rum0rs. and forthwith pro
duce aud publish articles which may
set the world on FIRE. The Emperor
IS not the only one who cherishes this
delusion respecting the method Of
making newspapers. Even in this en-
lIghtened country. many otherwise
well-insc-med persons regard with
species Of awe the smart young man
seeking an interview. They behold in
him one who possesses mysterious
