A local newspaper artist got letter
one day from man over in Indiana
who said he was making collection
of sketches. II have drawings from
well known newspaper artists in near
ly every state in the Unlon," the In
diana man wrote, '"but l have none
from Ohio. have seen some of your
work, and think it is good. If you
will send me some little sketch for my
collection shall have 1t framed"
The artist noticed from the letter
head that the Indiana man was con-
nected with a bank in one of the small
towns over in the state of literature.
That gave him Il bunch, and he wrote
back as follows:
81 am making collection of ten
dollar bills haven't secured speci-
mems from every state in the Union,
but I have several tens and few
twenties, and 1 am particularly anx-
ious to have u ten dollar bill from In

PsycholoaicalIy Explained.


Mrs. Flaherty, who earns her living
and maintains two clean little rooms
in an uptown tenement by going out
to do washing and days work, has
been widow for many years, and en-
tertains strong prejudice against
marriage for any but the young. "'Tis
all right at that time O. life," she
maintains, "but not for old people with
gray hairs. Then it's unsuitable and
the height o. foolishness." Holding
these opinions as she does. it was n
severe shock to Mrs. Flaherty to learn
that one of her best customers, a
widow of threescore and ten, was
about to be married for the second
time. Almost tearfully she contided
her sentiments to another patron.
"Think of it! Her a-fxin' all them
fine clothes and takin' as much pride
in 1t as If she was to be bride of
twenty instead of an old woman that'll
never see seventy again! Why" and
her voice dropped to an awed whis
per, "at her time o. life l believe tits
the ravin' o. death Is on the woman!

Many birds seek the protection which
the presence of man affords against
furred and feathered foes when the
breeding season approaches. Not SO
the raven. Its distrust of us is pro-

wild spot far out of reach of our pos.

other enemies. / know of a pair that
built OIL the side Of projecting crag
high up on the cliffs of Rathllne island.
Some fierce peregrine falcons occupied
the other side Of the crag, and when
one day their eggs were taken by an
adventurous collector they, sharing the
popular opinion Of n ravens blackness,
concluded that their neighbors were
the offenders and wreaked their grief
and vengeance upon them. When, on
their return from foraging expedi.
ton. the falcons found their nest de-
spoiled they were seen to hold a con-
sultation, ard after much deliberatIbti

indignation until not one stick was left

cIassed as an Antique Also,

A charming hostess Of one of the
"blg houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of prematurely
white hair, says the Washington Star.
That which seems to her contempt
raries an added charm may appear to
the crudely young mark of decline,
at least so it appears in one instance
of which the hostess herself tells with
enjoyment.
The lady is connosseur Of antiques.
At one OF her tens n debutante rich
with the glow of youth, but sadly con-
strained with her sense of her own
novelty, was handed cup Of tea. The
cup was. beautifully blue and wonder
fully old. The hostess, desiring to
tighten the strain on her youthful
guest by a pleasingly diverting re-
mark, said, "That little cup is $50
years old
ooh" came the debutantc's high
strained tones, chow careful you must
be to have kept it so long"

Not a STRANGER to Her.

The conductor of the Pullman car
had for some time had his eye on the
man who seemed to be fishing for an
excuse to speak to the lady across the
aisle. The passenger finally left his
seat and took one beside her, and when
they had conversed for few minutes
the lady seemed to be protesting, and
the conductors opportunity had come.
He stepped forward and said:
Madam, If this man is forcing his
attentions upon you he must resume
his own seat"
"He is not exactly stranger to me-"
she admitted.
But you seemed to be annoyed,
madam"

BISHOP M'QUAID
is THREATENED
Supposed Members of the Black Hand
Society Try to Extort $4,000
from the Divine.

Rochester. N. V, Sept 23.-Bishop
McQuaid of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Rochester made the start
ling declaration before large crowd
which had gathered for the ceremony
Of blessing the graves in Holy
Sepulchre cemetery that an attempt
was made short time ago by sup
posed members OF the Black Hand to
extort $1,000 from him and that he
was told that four of the men were
under oath to kill him. The presence
of a number of street vendors at the
cemetery gates and their proclamation
of the Sabbath led the bishop to make
the disclosures.
Chief of Police Hayden says that
his attention was called to the threats,
but that no clew to the senders of tho
threatening letters has been found.

One OF the most dangerous Of trades,
according TO the Pilgrim, lis the cover
ing of toy animals with skin, chamois
leather being used. for instance, for
the elephants, calfsliin for the horse
and goatskin for the camels. This
covering must of course fit without
a wrinkle to look natural, SO the wood
Ell model is first dipped into glue, then
sprinkled with chalk dust; then the
skin is put on. The chalk is SO fine
that 1t fills the air and is drawn into
the throat and lungs. A year of this
sort of work often results in death.
Another very injurious toy is the rub
Der balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thinness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing of the brill
liant yellows greens and purple are
most of them poisonous.

A class of little folk in an English
elementary school We're recently asked
to define "a lady," with curious results.
The definition of Lizzie, aged seven,
will strike q responsive chord in the
heart Of the busy woman and shows
that Lizzie must be an observing per-
son. "a lady is something like a
man." says Lizzie, "but she's got long
hair and she's got different face and
different clothes, and she's got o lot Of
work to do" Charlie, aged six, is i'm
pressed by the difference between the
sexes. "a lady" he finds to be differ
ent from n man because a lady has
different clothes from n man, a lady
has different eyes from n man, n lady
has different body from man, and n
lady has different shoes from n man."
Howard, aged seven, gets ut the same
facts from different point of view.
"a lady," he says, has not got some
trowsers, but man has got some
trowsers." A second Charlie, year
older than the first one, thinks that "a
lady is n nice woman because she
don't have torn clothes, and she has n
woch with her, and she has chane on
| the woch."
