 A young Polish boy living on the east side narrowly escaped death in the mud at the Thomaston reservoir yesterday. Since the water has been low in the reservoir youngsters have been in the habit of wading through the mud to the small body of water left for the purpose of catching small fish which are now in abun- dance and easy to capture. It was while doing this that the lad was drawn further in than he expected. With the aid of pole which some other children secured he was res- cued, uninjured, but badly fright ened.

The ap.' pearance of so many men with rifles would make one think tlat the minute men were again called into service, but they may try again at some later day to kill the bird that cahsed so much attention.

HOUSEHOLD WORK.
Should Be Systematized to Make
Progress.

An inexperienced young housekeeper who
doing much If not all. of the work herself,
will find no end of difficulties cleared away
if she will systematic her daily tasks The
system Is only regularity, doing in order
all of the things that are necessary so
that before she realizes 1t everything is
done and there is leisure to read. sew or
visit. Much less time Is consumed in the
work. far less nervous energy and ones
temper is saved no end.
To begin with, if a woman does not keep
a maid. she should so arrange her work
that by noon certainly, If not before, it is
all done and the rest of the day she has to
herself.
Of course, breakfast is the first thing,
and next should be clearing away. Many
housekeepers bring the dishes from the
table into the kitchen as soon as the meal
Is over, but I do not believe in this, be-
cause there Is already confusion in the
kitchen and more dishes simply add to it.
Leave the breakfast table as it is and re-
turn to the kitchen Begin there by wash
ing the pots and kettles that have been
used and then wash whatever cups, spoons
and the like that have been used in pre-
pairing the meal. They are, of course,
kitchen utensils, and so may be put away
as soon as cleared. Wipe up around the
sink that there may be a fresh place for
the dining room dishes and then bring out
those. Do not do this one at time, or
even with several at once. but have tin
tray ut Is the lghtesD large enough for
all, or almost all OF the dishes, fill this
from the table and bring them all out in

Child's Training in Finesse.
From Everybody S.


One immediate result of this first recog-
milton of the two conflicting wills in our
household was that we children made 1t
difficult for mother to dress us and were
careless about our frocks once they were
on We knew father would uphold US. and
so he did, unless our untidiness interfered
with his plans.
But we did not stop this BY the time
l was ten there were four of US. and each
of us young imps, from the youngest to the
Oldest, knew and acted on the knowledge
that father and mother were of two minds
about what was good for US. We knew ex-
actly which things to ask fathers permlS-
sion about and which mothers. For In
stance If Harry wanted to go fishing or
swimming he went to father: when 1t was
n question of parties, We asked mother II
we might go. We learned early that the
way to prevail against her was not to argue
with her, but to get fathers consent first
for the thing We didn't think she would APP
prove Of and then let him do the arguing
for US We knew, too, that when he con-
scented he knew quite well as We that
mother wouldn't like II. On the other hand,
when mother had agreed to something
father did not wish us to do she would say
to him:
II must keep my promise to the girls.
You should have said sooner that you didn't
want them to CO." when poor father hadn't
had chance to refuse us, and we all knew
he hadn't One of the things he has always
been most punctilious about Is keeping
promises so when mother said Il promised
the girls she knew she had him.

DOG THAT RIDES ON AN ENGINE.
Regards Himself as One of the Crew
and Looks Down on Passengers.

From the New York Sun.
Passengers on the Caldwell branch of the
Erie railroad are chipping in to buy
Christmas present in the shape of hand
some collar for Nick. He is a wise little
black and tan dog, which rides the en-
CINE which hauls the train between Essex
Fels and the main line junction at Great
Notch every day. His full name is Nicholas
Longworth. Nick was picked up by Con-
ductor Neary on a rainy morning a few
months ago. when he was about as thin
and long as ordinary lead pencil. He
was almost dead from exposure The con-
ductOr handed him UP to Engineer Minshull
who placed him in front of a firebox in
the cab. AS soon as the train started Nick
began to show signs of life. He pricked UP
his ears at the clang of the bell, and when
ever the whistle shrteked he barked and
wagged stump of what was once his tail.
When Great Notch was reached he jumped
out of the cab and perched himself upon
the coal in the tender to make observations.
This has now become his favori.e spot, and

North Carolina Wonders.

From the wilkesboro Chronicle.
Mr.. Toni Pennel was down in Antioch last
week and stayed over night with Mr.. Moses
Armstrong. He tells us that Mr.. Armstrong
has wonderful pet pig, and he saw it him
self with a broom sweeping out the yaru.
OF course the pig couldn't do as well at
sweeping as some of his two legged breth-
rem. but it was wonderful to see NV hard
tie pig worked and what progress he made.

BROOCHES AND PENDANTS.
New Form of the Vanity Case-Revi-
val of the Snake Bracelet.

From the jewelers. Circular Weekly.
A peculiar brooch displaying a combina-
ton of blue and green has the groundwork
of blue enriched by fine green stone.
An elegant diamond bar pin simulated the
open links of heavy chain.
An extremely novel pendant is an odd
shape in finest green enamel ornamented
with inset. scattered blue leaves with an
emerald rs a central stone.
Under the cunning guise of a little gold
memorandum book the vanity case still
serves its useful purpose.
Some of the shirred top gold mesh bags
are now fitted with convenient coin hold
ers, card case or tablet, and a separate
inside pocket
A charming little watch that would be a
delightful possession has the case of the
softest shade of pink trimmed in gold.
In strikingly picturesque style is a
chain with pendant of curiously wrought
gold set with different colored stones in a
brilliant arrangement effecting a novel
and attractive color scheme. The chain -
formed of elliptical shapes of ornamented
gold adorned with gems. These are iinkeu
together and richly supplemented by an
elaborate pendant closely attached.
The extent to which silver jewelry will
again become popular remains to be seem
Silver and pearls accord we'll with the tlne
silver embroidery which Is considered
very chic. A little brooch of this charac-

A silver centerpiece that takes on an I'M

Years ago there was a fashion for f1ex-

Noise and the Nerves.
From London Truth.


1t was Schopenhauer who said that insen-
sibility to noise was the surest indication
of low and undeveloped nervous organiza-
ton. On which assumption it is certain
that we as a nation can hardly be reckoned
very far advanced. Certain it is that we
are more tolerant under this head than
any other nation protesting to call itself
civilized, though 1 fancy the Americans run
US pretty close in this respect. Sir Arthur
Sullivan was wont to compose in the middle
of the night, because he could never obtain
quiet at any other time, and without ex-
pecting the impossible or looking for legis-
latiOn on a subject which is merely of ucon-
Germ to the community at large, irrespe&tive
of party issues. surely 1t is not too much to
ask that the local authorities shall put their
heads together on this matter and exercise
the powers which they possess. Mr.. Ber-
nard Shaw once expressed the opinion that
it was the ''state-aided noises" as he called
them, which were the worst offenders-as,
for example, the church bells and the mill
tary bands.

returning commuters in the evening while
they change from the New York express to

From his perch he watches the transfer

Is a favortte with the passengers though he
fails to reciprocate their friendliness, and
positively refuses to notice any one who
doesn't carry a dinner pail or wear a uni
form. His instinct for dinner pals is very
marked, as their contents are his only
source of subsistence. Some OF the women
and children have offered Nick chocolates
and other sweet things. but he prefers the
trainmen's pies and cakes. Now and then
he gets piece of bread by mistake. Then
he cocks his head to one side. sQunts out
of his black eye and looks as though he
would say: None of that for mine" He
has been adopted by the train crew as their
mascot.

How She Knew He Lost,

From the kansas CITY Star.
Il can always tell whether my husband
wins or loses at poker" said the woman
in a red princess gown at an afternoon tea
the other day. Il always know when my
husband wins" said a woman in pink. IF
he wins he makes peace with me by buy
ing a present but it is only when he wins
that l am told of the game at all. On other
occasions when he comes in late it is al
ways because of pressing business en-
gagement."
my husband lost last night" the woman
in red said. Il had been out late myself
to business meeting of the club and was
still up when he came in. He frowned
upon seeing the house Illuminated, and said:

these lights and cut down expenses.
