Who Prepared His Meals.

Brussels, May 29.-SA convict, who
is fsrying a life term at Ypres, has
Just married the iailers daughter.
Their attachment began through tho
girl taking the convict's meals to his
cell. Eventually the prisoner asked
the jailor's consent TO his marrying
his daughter. The father at FIRST re.
fused, but finding that his daughter
was enamored, he finally consented.
The prisoner was driven In a covered
wagon, escorted by gendarmes, to the
Town Hall, where the civil marriage
was performed. The religious cere.
mony followed Id the prison chapel,
whence the convict was taken TO his
cell The incident n regarded locally

HOW TOMMY JONES HELPED.

Tommy Jones went to see his Uncle Sam

in the real, red-barn country. He had been
| to mountains and seashere but Tommy did
| not think that they counted. or course he

especially In what Uncle Samuel called his
chores"
Tommy wanted to help, and while his in

| his results were sometimes disastrous, as
| you shall see.
"It seems" said Uncle Samuel "to be his
| nature to do uncommon awful things"
The lawnmower was great delight to
| Tommy. He lived in a fiat when at home
and he thought the lawnmower looked like
his mothers parlor sweeper, and he called
| 1t the outdoor broom" Could he have had
his way he would have Ieveled all nature
and not have stopped at the front lawn.

he said: Uncle Sam'. why don't you NOW

Son. said his uncle. 81 have only one
| pair of hands and one lawnmower: 1 can't
do more than kim" Which was very true,
of course. and 1t set Tommy thinking.
Next morning. after Uncle Samuel had
gone to the meadow, Tommy Jones took the
lawnmower and made up his mind to help
his uncle In fine and splendid way. 1t
was very quiet: every one seemed gone to
some distant spot. and Tommy and the
lawnmower had things to themselves. Tom

Mrs. Carmichael was very fond Of boys:
she liked them all sizes and ages no mat
ter how rough and awkward they were. A
/ boys best side was always sure to turn
uppermost before she had him in hand fif-
| teen minutes. Perhaps for the reason that
she had no children of her own she had a
| thorough love and understanding of other
| peoples children. especially boys.
| She always had a Sunday school class
Of boys. and there was one persistent
ember who refused promotion half dozen
times rather than submit to a separation.
| Every year Mrs. Carmichael arranged
some entertainment for her class, and
there was no more delightful day in the
calendar than that which the boys spent
| roaming over the beautiful grounds and
winding up with some novel entertainment
and refreshments in the big old homestead
One year Mrs. Carmichael, having issued
! her invitations, was driven to the wall

Suddenly they were attracted by a noise

aimed a cookie at the combatants, but It

The floor of this room was made of crystal

against a single nut. which had evidently
been overlooked In the cracking. In flash
Grethe remembered the words:
