The Mystery.

When I was six my father said:
Nell, you are twice as old as Ned.
Now think awhile and then tell me
How old you brother Ned must be-"
That was an easy sum to dol
six is exactly three times two.
So, IL I'm twice as old as he,
Why, little Ned must then be three"
The other day my father said,
Nell, do you know how old is Ned?"
Eyes, sir; he's four, because, you see,
I am just twice as old as he"
Then father laughed. Nell, that's not
so.
He's five If you are eight, you INC
When you were six, why, he was three.
And tIIee inc two are five. you see!"
But how these things can both be true
1 don't quite understand, do you?
Some time l shall, because I know
That what my father says is so.

er and her boy enjoyed their meeting
and the prospect of at least living on
the same continent. But the young
man failed to satisfy the authorities
that he could support his mother. He
had a large family of his W and was
at the time out of employment. His
mother, too old to support herself, had
no one else on whom to depend. The
decree went forth that Martha LeOser
must be deported to her native land.
Herman Gurlich, In the turmoil of
the metropolis, was alone-as much or
more alone than he would be when he
returned TO his farm. In years he had
met but one person of his W genera
ton to give him one spark of SYM
pathy-the woman he had met on the
steamer. She had shown him a paper
bearing her sons address to ask how
she might find him. This address Cur
lich remembered.
One evening there was a rap at the
door of young Leoser, and upon its
being opened there stood Gurlich.

membered only the widows frstr9me.
mo, and she will not be here. Sic
Is to be deported."
Gurlich went into the house, and his
host told him that there was no hope
of his mother remaining, since there
was no one to support her.
Eyes, there is one," said the old man
after a long pause.
"Who?"
81. If your mother will marry me
and go to live with me on my farm she
need not GO back to Germany"
In half all hour the two men were ON
a boat speeding for Ellis island. They
found the poor bemoaning her
fate. Her eyes lighted as she saw her
companion of the voyage.
And here the effort of the story teller
to put this humble romance in story
form breaks down. Never was offer Of
marriage made in a form more widely
diverse from the conventional proposal
laid down in printed romances. The
son took his mother aside and told her
of Gurlich's proposition. While mother
and son conferred the would be groom
stood making pretense of looking at a
family of Russian Jews eating sau
sages. In a few minutes Leoser return
ed and said his mother accepted tho
offer. In vain the romance constructor
casts about for some stretch of the
facts to give story form to the recep-
ton by the lover of the news that he
was to be made happy. Yet why try
express what no words ever have sue
ceeded in expressing? Perhaps he said
"Yah," perhaps "Das Is goot;" but, no
matter what he said or how unlike our
conceptions Of what he should have
Baid, his old heart experienced an echo
Of the gladness of youth.
Upon Gurlieh's promising the author
tiles that he would be responsible for
Martha Leoser's support they at once
gave her permission to go where she
liked. With her afianced husband and
her son she went to the latter's house,
where the marriage ceremony was per-
formed, and after a brief visit the
bride and groom started for Gurlich's
Farm. FLORENCE GILBERT.

Romance Of Ellis Island
(Original.l

[original.l
WHY should story tellers rack their
braius for themes when romances are
happening every day under their nosesI
Here, like a flower peeping from un-
der a heap of rubbish, Is a romance
extracted from the most unromantic
thing In the world. an emigrant snip.
1t only remains for the story teller to
mt 1t in form. 1t Is not a tale OF
Young lovers. In the conventional
story romance ends with marriage.
Nature knows no such division. Con-
ceiye an old fruit tree bearing shortly
before 1t is cut down a single bit of
fruit into which the trees vitality mas
been concentrated and you have the
kind of romance you are about to get.
Forty years ago Herman Gurlich, a
Prussian, came to America, purchased
a farm, married, raised a family ana
nrospered. His wife died, II n by
n his children left him to marry and
raise children of their own. For ten
years he worked his farm alone, anu
then 1t occurred to him to relieve MS
solitude by revisiting his former home
in Prussia. He did SO, but failed TO
find the diversion he had expected.
The place he had left as Il village had
grown to be a city. and the friends OF
his youth who had not gone elsewhere
were in the c~hurchyard. Disappoint-
ed, he turned his face again toward MS
desolate home in America.
Martha Leoser, a widow living in
Berlin with her daughters, had a son
In America. Her daughters had beer
with her since their birth, but her one
son had left her when he was a boy,
and she pinned to spend the few years
that remained to her where she might
occas 9ually see him. At last she coul
resist the temptation to go to America
}, no longer.
Now it happened. This Is a short
sentence, an incomplete sentence, YET
how much there is in it! What would
all the story tellers do If he two words
, were blotted out from the worlds on
! going? 1t happened that Heinrich Cur

Gurlich rejoiced with the mother IL
her expectations at meeting her boy
and Mrs. Leoser grleyed with the ole
man when he spoke of his return t

In New York harbor, where the.
landed, is Ellis island, a danger poin
for emigrants more to be dreaded thal

they must satisfy the officials that the
will not be a burden upon the Unite

Dainty Method OF lmparting a RANT
Scent to the Hair.
For the woman who enjoys delicate
scents the most bewitching cap has
been invented. 1t is made of either
pink or blue taffeta and lined with soft
white silk. 1t is gathered up like the
caps of our great-grandmothers, leav-
ing a charming little rufile at the edge,
from which a curl or two may legiti-
mately escape.
The cap is softly wadded and per-
fumed. One nights sleep in the pretty
affair leaves your hair delightfully."-
scented for days, or it may be worn
for a short time in the afternoon be-
fore going out for a dance in h even
ing. and the hair will be sufficiently
perfumed.
The hair has the quality of retaining
any odor, pleasant or unpleasant, for q
very long time. That is why the house
keeper is urged SO strongly to cover
her locks with the rubber cap when
frying buckwheat cakes.
LIQUID perfume should always be
used in an atomizer. 1t will then be

GEORGETOWN, KY, Nov. 30
The jury to try Caleb Powers was
completed this afternoon. Their are
eight democrats and four republicans
on the jury. Eleven are from Grant
county and one from Harrison coun-
ty.
witnesses for the commonwealth
were called and attachments issued
for those who did not answer. The
indictment of Caleb Powers found by
the Franklin county grand jury April
Z, 1900, was read and Attorney VIII
liams stated the case of the prosecu-
ton, reciting the crime and defining
the term conspiracy. He touched on
the political features of the case and
addressing the jury said: THE only
man meaner than republican who
could at9rit prisoner guilty of a
crime because of republican afilia-
ton. would be democrat who would
rob the prisoner of liberty because of
political bias
He gave brief statistics of the po-
litical history of the period surround
ing the commission Of the crime,
purposing to show motive for Caleb
Powers alleged participation in it..
He recalled the bringing of armed
men from the mountains, the respon-
sibility of this being placed on Pow
ers.
Judge Sims for the defense reserv-
ed his statement until the close of
the testimony for the commonwealth.

officers of the company sleep. A dis
linctive feature of the meter is that

Forward movement, never backward.
The meter in question was fixed to
the residence of Miss Byers on Bel
mont avenue, near the Celtic. For
the month of October the meter chas-
ed merrily along at the rate of nine
teen kilowats for the month. At 80
cents kilowat this meant $50 for
Miss Byers at the cashiers Office.
Miss Byers concluded that it was a
wicked little petty larcenist, that
meter, but she held her peace, and
paid the price.
This month the measure of the
meter was ragtime. 1t never did stop
going, day or night. The theory OF
perpetual motion had been demon
strated on Belmont avenue for GER
tain. Watts were at a discount; the
meter went to the kilowats like a
stake horse coming down the stretch.
