UNEXPECTED PUNISHMENT.
@%~@@~~@~~~@~@~@ww@

A number of elderly men who had
been boys together in Schuylkill
county, Pennsylvania, were telling
stories Of the early days, one of which
is recorded by Mrs. E. 2. Elliott, the
author of "Old Schuylkill Tales" II
remember one Sunday when Bishop
Asbury was to preach" said one of
them. Church service was a great
event in those days. l was small
boy, and after being dressed in my
best clothes, slipped off and betOOk my
self to Sharp Mountain, where I dis
covered a wild turkey pen, and in 1t
two large, wild turkeys.
Delighted with the find and think
ing only of what fine meal they
would make for the bishop, | secured
them and hurried home The services
were going on when [ returned, but
1 hid the birds in a small building
near the house, and waited to tell my
father at the close.
''It was some time before l could
attract his attention and have him
turkeys were. l related the story in
high glee, and expected him to COM
mend me, when, to my surprise, he
said:
"'My son! Have I raised you only
to become a thief and a Sabbath break
er? I will attend to you first, my son.
Then you take those birds to the top
of the mountain and free them. They
are Gods wild creatures, and do not
deserve to be trapped
'Then followed the most tremendous
wallOping 1 ever got; and l returned
to Sharp Mountain and set the turkeys
free"
"Why, you young scoundrel," said
one-of the men, who was listening to
the narrative, was it you who robbed
our turkey pen? Colonel Shoemaker
and l built that turkey pen. Turkeys
were scarce, and we saw by the marks
that some one had robbed u.s. Why,
your father never gave you half what
you deserved"

woman-like, she had thought first of
the clothes, and realized that the short
mes of the time would make prepara-
tions harder; but she had thought that
by beginning that afternoon she could
make pretty evening waist, and could
make her old skirt presentable, by a
little furnishing up. AS for Johns suit,
it could be brushed and pressed. No
one ever noticed a mans clothes at
wedding, anyway.
But now, dropping her head on the
table, she sObbed like a disappointed
child. The children, not knowing lust
how to act in such an emergency, slip
ped out of their chairs and betook
themselves TO the back yard to talk it
over.
at isn't the same as if 1 were always
asking for things!" she sobbed. "I've
learned long ago to do without and
keep my longings to myself. He treated
me as if 1 were a spoiled child" Then
the sobs came SO thick and fast that
they choked out the words.
Presently something ratified In her
lap, hard little hand was awkwardly
stroking her hair, and the oldest of her
four little boys said, timidly:
1--WE put all our money in Wendell's
bank, and we want you to have it to go
to the wedding. We were saving it for
Fourth of July, but we're to big to care
much for that, and-and-O mother,
please don't cry!''
She looked up in establishment, to
find her four children regarding her
with wide, sympathetic eyes. Drying
her tears, she gathered them all in one
great mOtherly embrace, kissing away
all their worries, and giving back their
money with as much tact as if it had
been offered by older friends, assuring
them that she could manage some other
way to go to the wedding And the

She saved the letter and invitation
for a little surprise at the table, and
was so eager to read them aloud to her
husband that she did not wait to eat ::

reading, her husband only said, So

she gasped.
Il might say 1t is Johns wedding,

more difference than if his name was

but being Una's wedding, it's diff

The Equality of Men.

A New Yorker who does his bit Of
"globe trotting" tells of two odd en-
tries that he saw in the visitors book
of a fashionable resort on the Rhine.
A few years ago one of the Paris

registered as follows: ''R. de Paris"
1t SO CHANGED that the next visitor to
inscribe his name in the book was

Una Barnard's eyes were blurred by
tears of memory and regret as she lis
tened to the promises: For better, for
worse; for richer, for poorer"
All, the sacred promises, and how
poorly she had kept them! She had
been a gay, bright companion in the
time Of abundance, but in the time of
loss and unaccustomed toll she had
been bitter and gloomy, silently pining
for her carefree girlhood instead of try
ing to cheer the man who was strug-
Cling to make home for her. He. too,
had been accustomed to life of ease.
How hard the struggle for daily bread
must have been for him! There were
gray hairs about his temples and lines
of encouragement about his mouth.
She caught her breath with a sob and
chung to his hand as if she would new
er let it go.
The audience was intent on the cere-
mony, and no one saw or heard when
John Barnard patted the hand he held,
and stopped to whisper lovingly:
There, there, dear! It's all right.
Well try it all over again"
Then came the closing prayer, and
the organ pealing out the occasional.
The bride looked trustfully up into the
face of her husband as they passed
down the aisle to the door, and the
peOple in the audience sighed or smiled,
according to the way the ceremony had
affected them.

EL1G1BIB LOTS FOR RESIDENCES

ELIGIBUE LOTS FOR RESIDENCES
 Judson & Hauff, the we'll known and reliable dealers in real estate, an- nounce that building lots at College woods may now be purchased of them on advantageous terms. The land known as College woods is situated as follows: One block east of Whitney avenue, bounded by Everitt street, East Rock road, and Livingston street. The land is fifteen acres in extent and contains 50 to 75 fine building lots The location is most desirable as a residential section, and the restric- tions are that no two family house can ever be built on the land. This is absolute protection to the buyer and precludes any difficulty which other wise might arise in the future. The section where this land is situated is bound to steadily increase in value, and it will not be long before the prop erty will double the price now asked for it. All interested parties are invit- ed to call on or address a note to Judson & Hauff, 9O2 Chapel street, room 4O2, and receive particulars as to price, etc.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENT.
THE AMAZONS, BY TALE DRA-
 MATIC ASSOCIATION
win be Given Next Saturday at the Hyperion Theater-The Cast in Full for the Event--The COstuming.

That progressive organization, the Yale Dramatic association, not content with giving but one play year, will precede their regular production which will take place in the spring, by a comedy, to be given at the Hyperion theater next Saturday. "The Anna zons," farcical romance, by Arthur Wing Pinero, is the veheicle they have chosen for their talent, and cracking good choice it ie.
 Nor, could a more befitting night have been selected for giving the piece. That afternoon the prom. guests will start to pour into the city to participate in the festivities of the comink week. Thus not only a crowded and enthusiastic house is assured, but for the first time in history, the prom. girl will be able to view the talents of Yale's budding actors Again, it has always been de- sired to have @ university function take place on this night and the play just fills the bill.
 "The Amazons," in truly up-to-date vein, depicts the experiences of three English tomboys. Brought up by their sonless mother, the Marchioness Caste jordan, as athletic boys, these three girls in the smart garb of young men are suddenly brought to realize that though masculine in their ways, their hearts are still susceptible to the charm of the sterner sex. Now where could you find a better tumble than the col i,a n air iVao a part of girl, whn in turn, is masquer- ading as a boy? It's difficult job, but it will be handled admirably.
 Of course, the combination gives rise to many ludicrous incidents. Their ad- mirers are queer lot-an impetuous, rattle-brained Frenchman, puny little English lord, and a more or less heavy young Briton, bully good chap, grad uate of Oxford, and all that, don't you you know. Three extremes, all aiming at the same goal q. e. the love of the Amazons) but all going at it in a diff Seren: manner,
 MT. Frank Lea Short, who for six years now has coached the association in all its performances, including Hen ry the Fourth last spring, is again in charge. His work is telling remarka- ~bly well, and if the rapid progress and ih7srovement which has characterized each successive rehearsal continues, the piece will be the best ever put on by the association. All this valuable as- sistance MT. Short has offered to the club with his compliments" Some time ago MT. Short was elected one of the two honorary members of the asso- citation. The latter hoped in this way to express their appreciation of the work he has so kindly done.
 The play was first brought out in London in 1893. The following year it came to New York, gaining signal tri- umphs in both cities. Sheet hen it has had many revivals. The original prompt book and cast pictures are now in the hands of MT. Daniel F'rohman, who has most kindly consented to allow NIr. Short the asrusal of them.
