Much Used Wedding Present.

T1U1 0Ho 1OF1Ue1Cc JUu1110I.
A Providence girl, who has been married
about six months, had wedding cards a
short time ago from an old school friend
who had given her a wedding present,
which, of course, demanded one in re-
turn. Among her wedding presents the
Providence girl had duplicates in the
shape Of two silver card trays, and in a
spirit Of economy she decided to give one
of these to her friend. 1t was marked with
her own initials, but 1t would be only a
matter OF a few minutes to have them
removed and the proper monogram cut.
h took it to the jeWeller and explained
what was to be done He picked up the
tray, looked at it closely and smiled.

He rose and paced the length of the
studio several Times, coming at last TO
a stapdstill before the two pictures.
From the canvasses a girls lovely
face looked out. In the actual painting
ttc.re was little, if anything. to choose
between them; yet, in looking at the
one, 0 involuntarily waited for the
girl TO speak; in the other, o ex-

seemed to follow him with q half mis-

half tender, half scornful, seemed to

himself into a chair with his back to
the pictures. But soon, as IL against

Against Public Drinking Cups.

DR.. Samuel G. Oxen, Pennsylvania's
noted health commissioner, is waging a
fight against the public drinking cup.
DR.. Dixon said one day in HARRISBURG:
II have seen people clean their teeth
with toothpowder and dental floss, rinse
their mouths with listerine and other
antisepuc washes. and then go and drink
calmly from the public cup in a railway
station or a theater.
Such people remind me Of a schoolboy
of Ardanore.
Seeing this boy wading ankle deep in
a half frozen puddle one day in January,
l said sternly:
Tommy. why are yod not at school?'
GIVE got the whooping cough he an
swered, splashing about vigorously"

Newspaper Rulings.
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF sUBsCRIBERs.

i. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from fhe postofice TO
which they are addressed,athey are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the papsE.o r other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers moverto other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided tlAt re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
p~ostoiice, or removing and haying
them uncalled for, is prima facio evil
dence of intentional fraud.
s.. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at. the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with. pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to tie
publisher.
G.. The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it, Under the law,
the man who allows his sdbscLiption,to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark'it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrcsfsand fine,
the same as for theft.

AUSTRALIANS TURF MARVEL.
POseidOn Makes Grent Record by
Winning the Triple Events.

In far off Australia, where the seasons
are opposite to ours, horsemen are sing
ing the praises OF Poseidon, by Positauo-
Jacinth. He has just accomplished win
ming the triple" events-the Derby. CauI-
field Cup, and the Melbourne Cup. No
horse Of his age for years ever won these
three big features before.
Poseidon is considered a worthy sue
cessor TO Carbine, the great race-horse
that won the Melbourne Cup with AS
pounds up, from forty-three opponents.
Since then Carbine's progeny in Australia
and England have made his name still
more famous.
When Poseidon won the Caulfeld Cup
by three lengths from a field of twenty
four his jockey, T. Clayton. sat perfectly
still, and never once was the colt touched
with the whip. Considering that the fields
in both the cups included all the quality"
of the Commonwealth. the Australian
critics are quite justified when they de-
scribe Poseidon as standing out boldly
as one Of the best three-year-0lds seen
out for many seasons"
1t now transpires that prior to his sue
cess at FleminEton-in fact, after ne had
won the CaUlfeld Cup never before taken
by a horse of his age. in record time for
the race Of 23l, for mile and a half-a
cable was received from England. The
dispatch asked whether he could be pur-
chased, and at what price. As his owner
Mr.. \. Z. Robertson" was in Europe.
and his address was not known, no imme-
