THAT Is the fifth time you have COM
municated this afternoon" she said. Il
am sorry l cannot trust you. You may
come to the desk"
The boy stepped lightly to Miss Brad
ford's side. speller in hand. He sup
posed that he would be seated on the
platform for the next hour, a punish
ment he rather enjoyed.
Il think | must keep you close to me
for WHILE" said his teacher, fasten-
ing her apron tightly around her waist,
and knotting the end Of one string In
the buttonhole of Norman's jacket
"Oh, Miss Bradford, please don't
make me go out into the hall. oh.
please don't. l won't whisper another
time this term If you'll let me off"
His teacher shook her head gravely.
She was used to the boys promises and
she felt that nothing but Il severe les
son would teach him obedience
Norman groaned as the door closed
behind them. for there, crossing the
hall, was Ralph Preston. Ralph only
glanced up. but in that brief space
Norman knew that his humiliating po-
sition had been noted and his own
words repeated themselves over and
over, You are an aprOn-string boy, you
are!" Oh, If he could have taken them
back! Now Ralph would tell Frank,
and the two would have much fun at
his expense. NOrmans eyes were fas-
tened on the floor after that. His bra
vado was all gone. A more miserable
boy it would have been hard to find
The ordeal was over at last and Miss
Bradford said as she released him:
Il shall have to try this every time
you whisper"
You will never have another
chance" said Norman.
She never did.
Six weeks passed and Norman heard
not a word from those at home in refer
ence to that dreadful afternoon. One
holiday the four friends were together,
when Norman exclaimed:
Ralph preston, you are brick J"
Frank looked puzzled.
"Why such sudden praise?" he ask
ed, laughing. "Am not a brick, tool"
Eyes, you are" returned bis brother,
"but not for the same reason" and not
another word could he be coaxed to say
about it.
But Ralph knew that this was Nor
mans way of thanking him for his ST.
lence.

Where Black Means White.

IF told you," said philologist,
"that q word like white meant not only
white, but black as well-that it had
two meanings, one the opposite of the
other-you'd hardly believe me. Yet
we have in English many such words.
"Cleave means to cling together. 1t
also means to cut apart
Let means to permit. 1t also means
to hinder. Let me do it, we say, add
ing, 4 did it without let or hindrance.'
Fast means motionless-The horse
was tied fast 1t also means swift
moving-'The horse ran fast
master means little boy-'Master
Willie Belr-and it also means a strong
and resolute leader-'He was the un-
questioned master Of that unruly
hand'"

WOMEN UNFIT TO VOTE,
Marie CorelIi Scores Her Sex for
Weakness.

Marie Corellt Scores Her Sex for
Weakness.
Chicago.-A special from London to
the Tribune says:
Marie Core1li, through her profound
contempt for man in every aspect re-
mains undiminished, does not believe
in woman suffrage. She claims that
she can direct so mems votes at cleo
ton in any way she schooses. but her
power would be destroyed if she had
a vote of her own.
'Tf," she says, woman has the nat
ural heritage of her sex, the mystic
power to persuade, enthrall and sui u
gate man. she has no need to come
down from her throne to mingle in any
of his political trays"
She scores women remorselessly for
allowing herself to be given away in
fashion papers.
There" she says, man sees woman
as the fool rampant. She is depicted
as semibald, holding her wig in one
hand, ready to put it on She is shown
in half nude state. thin and scraggy,
but again unblushingly holds artif-
cially nodded plump portions of her
body, which nature failed to supply,
IN readiness to fasten over the hollow
places. She is exhibited plainly and
pitilessly as a swindle.
do women imagine that men ever
look at such papers? Never perceive
the bold, prominent challenge Of the
degraded advertisement which in
struct them as to what a painted, pow
dered, padued, dyed, frizzled, shame
less creature a woman may be and
often is?
"a careful study of our modern lady
picture magazines will convince the
male suffrage advocates that the mod
ern woman is not yet ready for the
ballot"

An ADrOn-StrinH Boy.

"Come up to the postoffice with US,

The speaker and his sister stopped al
the gate, while Ralph Preston walked
down from the piazza.

Mother has gone out and left the

laughed Norman.
"No," returned the other, "but mother
expects me to be here"
"Oh, wouldn't be tied to my moth.
er's apron-string! sneered Norman
"Come on, Grace"
"How can you be so rude?" said the
girl, as Ralph's face flushed.
II don't care" retorted Norman
turning away with whistle.
Ralph Preston was two years older
than Norman White, and the close com.
rade of his brother Frank. Norman
had been foolish enough to think he
might make Frank jealous by going
home and telling him that Ralph had
been uptown with them, and he had
been a little nettled by Ralph's refusal
1t was nearly dark when Grace and
Norman passed Ralph's house on their
way home, but they could see the boy
sitting alone on the piazza.
"You are an apron-string boy, you
are" was Norman's salutation.
Il think you are mean to talk so;
ain ashamed Of you," flashed Grace.
Her brother laughed.
Norman had not learned much wis.
dom in his eleven years, as was shown
by his remark when he reached home
II have found out something about
your paragon of a friend" he said to
Frank, who was working over his alge-
bra under the study lamp.

"Well," said Norman, slowly, enjoy

apron-string boy"
"Pshaw!" returned Frank, a bit in
dignantly. "Look out what you say
about him; he is the best fellow In
town." and he resumed his study, while
Norman went off laughing.

teacher, Miss Bradford, found him
