COLLECTING A BILL.

As debt-collectors the sons of New England early established reputation for masterly ingenuity among the towns along the Ohio River. If one plan failed, says the author of "The Ohio River" they were immediately on hand with another. But only a genius could have collected debt from the following hard customer"
 The person in question had been ow- Ing a sum to his Yankee friend for nearly year, regularly failing to take seriously the duns that were sent to him. At last he agreed to pay the bill on given day. Promptly on the day named the Yankee appeared in person to collect
 You are very punctual," observed the debtor.
 Il generally am in business matters" assented the visitor pleasantly. Tn this case l had another reason for be- ing punctual."
 Indeed. :" said the host And what was that?'
 "Why," replied the affable collector, If person were to set day to pay me money and I did not call. 1t would look as though I doubted whether he meant to give it to me; which," he con- tinued, with monumental blandness, "on the footing of friendship an which you and I stand, would be absolutely an in suit, don't you think so?'
 "He opened his eyes and stared at me-" said the collector. later, when tell ing of his record-breaking achievement. He really didn't quite know whether or not I was quizzing him. But I was perfectly serious In my manner. He paid the debt, but I have not the shad- ow of doubt I should have had to call twenty times more for 1t if had not hit him so close"

and that's the reason you are some times cross and unwilling to do moth CTS wishes. If you do not watch these pesky little creatures, they will soon nibble all the good away. To keep the mice out you must set trap for them the trap of watchfulness-and have for bait good resolutions and tirmness. When the pantry is free from mice, then begin to store It with good things.

 And he answered: High principles, good thoughts and kind feelings
 Laura was silent, too. for moment, and then said: I'm going to try to re member my great-grandfather's teach ings, because 1 see how much good they have done you. You are the 'bestest' mother any girl ever had. Good night, mother, darling" and with bound she was off to bed.

BASEBALL IS EXTENSIVE.
National Game Is Great Industry
 and Millions Paid to See It.

National Game Is Great Industry
 and Millions Paid to See It.
 One can say that thousands of dollars are expended annually for baseball games and convey in vague way what baseball expenditure means, says the Washington Post.
 Presuming that 25,00000O spectators witnessed baseball games in 1905, which Is the estimate of one hopeful citizen, it is fair to say that at least half of the 25 ,0o0,000 paid admission to the games. Suppose that each of this 12,5OO,OOO paid 25 cents to witness his fayorite sport. That would make gross total of S3,125,000 at the gate in one sea- son. That begins to sound more like figures.
 Now add the car fare which was expended by each spectator, where the games are played in large cities, and the amount which was handed out to the peanut boy and the lemonade ped dler, and an idea begins to form that baseball receipts accumulate quite q total, even if 1t is the cheapest and most popular form of outdoor sport.
 Nor is what the spectator pays to wit ness the games all that Is expended dur ing the year. Great factories work day and night to make baseballs, and men have acquired fortunes in placing their wares before the public. Hundreds of tailors are employed in making base ball uniforms and scores of turner's gain a livelihood turning out baseball bats, while the forests of the Middle West have been ransacked to obtain the best timber to provide the players with sticks" to suit them.
 Put $1,000,00O more on top of the amount paid to see games, and the mark has jumped over $4,000,00O. Even that doesn't tell the story. Clubs expend large sums in travel. The railroads and the hotels are benefited. Spectators frequently journey long distances to witness matches between famous hines. At the worlds series last fall there were three spectators who had come all the way from California to see the Giants play for the championship.
 The fact is, baseball costs the people of the United States more than $5,- O,OOO annually, and the bill is grow ing heavier every year; but so small is the per capita expenditure and so great the enjoyment which is derived from the game that it is contributed without complaint and more open indi- cation of real satisfaction than any indirect tax" which Is levied upon the community at large In behalf of good time

SKETCH OF A RUINED MAN.

"I've Lived All Sorts of Life," Said
 the Tramp, "and Lived It Twice."
 David Grayson, author of "Adven- lures in Contentment," tells the story of tramp In the American Magazine. It Is really character sketch of a ruined man. Mir. Grayson reports his efforts to get the tramp to live a regu- lar life as follows:
 Friend I said, stop here. We have a good country. You have tray eled far enough. l know from experi- ence what a corn field will do for man..
 "'I have lived all sorts of life,' he continued, and I have lived in all twice, and l am afraid
 "'Face it, I said, gripping his arm, longing for some power to blow grip into him.
 "'Face It. he exclaimed, don't you suppose l have tried-a few times with out thinking-once would be enough I might be all right. l should be all right
 He brought his fist down on the table and there was a note of resolu- ton in his voice. I moved my chair nearer to him, feeling as though I were saving an immortal soul from destruc- tion. l told him of our life, how the quiet and the work of It would solve his problems. I sketched with enthusi- asn my own experience and planned swiftly how we could live, absorbed In simple work-and In books
 "'Try It, I said, eagerly.
 "I will he said, rising from the table and grasping my hand, I'll stay here'
 II had peculiar thrill of exultation and triumph. I know how the priest must feel having won a soul from tor ment!
 He was trembling with excitement and pale with emotion and weariness. One must begin the quiet life with rest. So I got him of to bed, first pouring him a bathtub of warm water. I laid out clean clothes by his bedside and took away his old ones, talking to him cheerily all the time about common things.
 owing to the excitement of the evening spent a restless night. Be fore daylight, while I was dreaming a strange dream of two men running, the one who pursued being the counter part of the one who fled, heard my name called aloud.
 "I sprang out of bed.
 "'The tramp has gone,' called Har- riet, my sister.
 "He had not even slept in his bed. He had raised the window, dropped out on the ground and vanished"

Daddy Long Legs.

He Is also called the harvest spider.
 But he isn't a true spider-nor an insect.
 He belongs to the family known as Phalanglidae.
 Eight long legs help him to get along in the world.
 He has four long legs and four about half length. All his legs spring from body which Is grotesquely small.
 They are benefit to us, as they subsist on plant lice and other insects.
 During the day he Is usually quiet, save on cloudy days, which he mistakes for twilight.
 He passes the winter in the egg state, matching in the spring and becoming full-grown In summer.
 In the North their bodies are rather small and their legs comparatively short. The legs of Mississippi speci- men measured nearly four inches

Animals as Mechanics.

It Is only within recent years that men have learned how to make houses and other structures of cement. This art Is probably yet In crude stage, and by and by mankind may learn to use the material in vastly more skillful and efficient ways
 But many of the lower animals have for ages been making their houses of mud or of similar plastic and harden ing substances. The cliff swallows skillfully built home is indeed a won derful structure, especially when we take into consideration the simple way Ill which the bird does the work. Im- agine a boy or girl trying to make such a structure of mud and handling the material only by the aid of pointed pliers. Yet the bird does 1t and does 1t well with her pointed bill. In some ce- ment structures, especially in railroad entertainments, you have probably mo- ticed that the workmen first put in sev- eral iron rods to increase the strength of the wall. This Is. practically, what the phoebe, the robin and other birds do when they mix liberal supply of grasses and other plant tbers, and even strings, through their concretions of mud.-St. Nicholas.

CITY'S LOST ISLANDS.
Illinois Has Three that Once Be-
 lOnged to St. Louis.

longed to St. Louis.
 St, Louis has lost three islands, though the names are as well remem- bered now as when the islands them selves were actually in existence. One is Bloody island. just opposite the city, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The old timers used to go there to fight their duels and in those days the river channel ran on the Illinois side of the island and except in high water there was only slough between St. Louis and the dueling ground. The govern ment and railroad works put Bloody island on the Illinois side and now good part of East St Louis is built over the sand bar that once was a thIcket of willows.
 Arsenal island, too, used to be on this side of the river and boys rolled up their trousers and waded across the narrow slough from a point little south of the workhonse. The boats went on the other side of the Island, but the channel began cutting into the Illinois farms at such a rate that the government threw up dike just across from the arsenal, turning the river to this side, the island was joined to the Illinois shore, was finally purchased by the State of Illinois from the city of St. Louis and the former bed of the river Is now covered by farms.
 Duncan's island was big sand bar that began near the foot of Lami street and extended north to Geyer avenue. It was purchased by the Iron Noun tain Railroad Company, which wanted to locate its yards In that neighbor- hood, and filled up the place with earth from Picot's hill in Carondelet. The names still live, for the people of St Louis make a difference between the .'island" and the mainland, just as the farmers on the bottom still talk about Arsenal Island and the swltchmen in the yards south of Chouteau avenue tell one another that a certain car Is down on Duncan's island.

A Novel Watermark,

Have you ever noticed the water mark on your letter paper? If you have, this little story will interest you.
 "Go right upstairs" Towards nurse said to him the other day, and wash your face; it's very dirty"
 Howard disappeared and came down again In few moments, his nose shin ing from the effects of soap and water and his cheeks scarlet from an ener- getic scrubing But, alas, the enthu- siasm had evidently died down before he had proceeded very far with his washing. Behind his ears there was an unmistakable black streak, continu- ing round underneath his chin.
 "Why, Howard" exclaimed nurse in horror, you're not half clean. There's regular watermark back of your ears"
 "I know it." exclaimed Howard, in- stantly. Did 1t on purpose. The watermark has to be somewhere on & good article, doesn't It? So I thought that would be the best place for 1t, cause my ears hide It lot"

A Bedtime Story,

Laura settled herself at her mothers knee, and with upturned face waited for her bedtime story.
 Mother usually told Laura a story of her own youth, and this evening she began without introduction:
 When I used to be out of temper, or naughty In any way, grandpa would call to me, Mary, Mary; take care There's a mouse in the pantryv
 ''This, of course, made me stop cry ing, and after wondering bit, I would run to the pantry to see whether there was really a mouse in the trap, but never found one. So I asked grandpa once what he meant, for said I, there are no mice in mothers pantry, and I have no pantry
 "Then grandpa pulled me to his knee and said: Your heart. child, Is your pantry the little sins are the mice that get in and nibble away all the good,

Little girls in Japan make play of one thing that In after years be- comes labor, labor of love, though 1t Is. So soon as girl Is old enough, per haps 3 or 1, her dolly Is tied to her back in the same way that she was fastened to her nurses back when she was baby. She carries this about while at play, says the Circle, and as she grows older larger doll Is used, until she has grown accustomed to the weight and is able to carry her baby brother or sister, thus relieving her mother, who perhaps works in the rice fields or In a tea garden.

The Three old Ladies.

There was an old lady all dressed in silk. Who lived upon lemons and buttermilk And thinking this world was sour old
 place, She carried it's acid all over her face. Another old lady all dressed in patches, Lived upon nothing but lucifer matches; So the world, it made her strangle and
 cough, And sure as you rubbed her you set her
 of. Another old lady, all sunny and neat, Who lived upon sugar, and everything
 sweet, Exclaimed, when she heard of their
 troubles, ''I never For the world is so nice 1 could live on
 forever" Now, children, take your choice Of the food your hearts shall eat; There are sourish thoughts, and brim-
 stone thoughts, And thoughts all good and sweet; And whatever the hearts feeds on, Dear children, trust to me. Is precisely what this queer old world Will seem to you to be. Mary Mapes Dodge.
