Well, what IS il this ,:n1e?" asked
FRS. Bowser as Mr.. Bowser came home
the other evening to dinner holding the
hand Of a very dirty and very ragged
10y about six years old.
Didn't you hear this child crying
and wailing on the street," he Queried
in reply.
NO, didn't. There is so much noise
ell the time that l pay no attention to
anything"
"Of course not. Half the population
OF the city can freeze and starve to
death in front of the house, and you
wouldn't concern yourself at all.
Thank heaven that / was born with a
heart"
and what do you call this!'
"This is either a lost or an aban-
doned boy. I found him crouched
against the fence and hungry and cold,
and / have brought him in to succOr

world. See that he has a plate at The
table
Mrs. BoTser took a closer look at
the boy and smiled. The boy returned
her look and seemed to be confused
and uneasy.
Are you trying to scare him to
DEATH" demanded Mr.. Bowser.
~ Boy Is Ravenous.
Mrs. Bowser did not answer, but led
the way down to dinner and gave the
boy a seat at the table and heaped his
plate high with dinner. He was as
r%avenous as a young wolf, and after
watching him for awhile Mr.. Bowser
said:
"Poor child! 1 suppose this is the
first meal he has sat down to for many
weeks. This place must seem like
heaven to him"
What are you going to do with
him q was asked.
Il don't know yet. He should be re-
turned to his parents tomorrow if they
a be found. If not, | may adopt
him. One has only to glance at his
face to see intelligence far beyond his
years"
AS the kid was cross eyed and snub
nosed and fat faced, Mrs. Bowser
couldn't see the intelligence part, but
she made no comment, and directly
Mr.. BoUser continued:
"If this child is adopted and reared
as he should be, who knows the goal
he will ultimately reach:'
"Thats true. He has begun well by
reaching for about everything on the
table"
Never mind that. OF course he
hasn't been brought up to have table
manners. 1 wish you were more hu-
name, Mrs. Bowser."
"I could pick up a dozen lost chill
dren a day, but l have no clothes or
food for them"
Calls Wife Hard Hearted.
eff you We're a millionaire the poor
would be no better off for it. You
are selfish and hard hearted. You
have no sympathy for those in misfor-
tune. Any evening I may come home
and find a man, woman or child frozen
to death in the vestibule."
"We might put a kerosene stove out
there" she suggested.
Mr.. Bowser turned red in the face
and was about to say something de-
cisiye when the lost boy looked around
for something more to devour, and, not
Ending it, he picked up his plate and
slammed it down on the floor and be
gan to kick and yell.
Here, what the devil is this?' shout
ell Mr.. Bowser as he rose up. Young
man, what do you WANT
"Sunthin' 'teat," replied the boy.
Something to eat Good lands, but
you have eaten more than three hired
ne could already, You may get ome
thing more by and by, but not now.

Mr. BOWSCr reached for him and
drew him over his knee. He forgot all
about adoption and human sympathy.
He was about to perform the old fash
Toned spanking act when two things
happened at once. The kid fastened
his teeth in the hulnanitarian's leg with
a grip like that Of an alligator, and the
front door bell rang, and somebody
drUmmed on the glass panel Of the
door outside. The boy was twisted
down on the floor and the bell answer

stay.
Mrs. q. Rosney and daughter Miss
Mamie, of Philadelphia, made the

placidly soaring in the thin blue air
all of a sudden something goes wrong
with his machinery and he has to dc

To train up a gasoline engine in the

G. |. SIEBERT WRITES
new ORLEANS LETTER
Living Is High, but There's Lots
Of Money and Business Is
HuStlinq
SAYS IT IS VERY WARM THERE

From very interesting letter written
to Baker Brothers, founders of Wild
wood, by G. L. Siebert, who with his
wife is touring the south, we print the
following. Mr.. Siebert's opinion of
New Orleans seems to be far from
complimentary to that leading southern
city. He says railroad facilities are
far worse than those of South Jersey:
My Dear Baker Bros:-
In New Orleans, La, at last; we got
III last night at 7.30 a. n., instead VI
s.15 p. m. Everybody works here on
Sunday. Everything open. We were
out this a. m. ON little jaunt, and
such dirty, filthy city, people and
all, (this outside of the main business
part.) The entrance to the depots is
really dangerous; / would not care to
go to one after dark without taking a
cab of some sort. Everybody sitting
out on the door steps with the sweat
rolling off of them. 1t is very hot here.
Mrs. S. had to go to the hotel to get
cooled off. She says she is quite tired
out. No wonder, after such ride as
she had yesterday, coming from At
lanta here 81 hours late. One does not
think of winter here, but summer, and
hot at that.
Living is very high here. My room
costs myself and wife $500 a day,
European plan at that, but to go to
cheaper ones think it would be un-
safe to do it. This is bad city, sin
and vice galore everywhere; they have
no regard for God or man. am sorry
we have such a city in the United
States; it should be in Spain where it
belongs, although it is hustling busi-
ness city. In the hotel district there
are many fine buildings and modern
in every thing; they seem to have
heaps of money here. 1 am going to
push my work through and get out as
soon as possible.
We are both we'll and have good ap-
petites and sleep fairly well so have no
complaint to make, only that if the
w. j. Il S. r. r. Co. treated their
passengers as the Southern does its
passengers, the people of Wildwood
would have reason to complain. The
other week they tell me, it arrived at
Washington, d. c., % hours late; 8, a.,
5, even hours is general thing each
day. They do not know what a
schedule is, run just as they please,
stop on the road and play a game of
cards. 1t is run like the old woman
runs the hotel. Now l will close to be
heard from from San Antonio. Best
wishes to all.
Yours Very Truly,
G. l.. SIEBERT.

Chiidren's Clothes.

In making the sleeves in children's
dresses make them quite full and long
enough to turn a hem and gather at
the wrist. Then when the sleeves are
too short rip cut the hem and gather
Into cuff. Have a few tucks in the
.hsnttNrp Of drossos. They jnnrcro tho
looks of garment, and when it needs
lengthening it is easier to rip out a
tuck or, two than let down a hem.
When the children's stockings become
thin on the knee run patch of old
stocking tops on the thin part, then cut
the stocking off at the ankle, turn the
patch to the back of the stocking and
sew the top on the foot in a fiat seam.
They will wear as long as new ones.-

The Harshne.. of Orators.

American political orators are often
charged with being unduly harsh to
the other side. The following extract
from speech of the late Earl of
Shaftesbury, published in his memoirs,
shows that If our stump speakers ex-
hibit harshness they come honestly by
1t. The noble earl thus described and
prophesied: "When Gladstone runs
down a steep place, his immense ma
jority, like the pigs in Scripture, but
hoping for better issue, will go with
him, roaring in grunts of exultation." !"

For the Mattress.

The daily turning over is not the only
necessary attention for the proper treat
ment of mattress. This operation It.
self Is liable to strain the ticking and
pull the stuffing out of shape in course
of time. To avoid this handles may be
sewn to the sides, so that the yielding
surface of the mattress itself need not
be grasped. These can be made from
webbing or crosspiece of ticking and
sewn as firmly as possible to the sides.
