hands of the government here to-
day.
So far as can be learned, the
foreign Office is still uncertain
Turkey also Is included In the al
lance.
Just how the plans fell into the
Austrian's hands is not known out

here that Austria gave notice that
II would consider such an alliance
equivalent To a declaration OF hos

knew the arm already had been
closed
The plan, In case Seryia and Mon
tnogro obtain no compensation for
Austria's annexation OF Bosnia aud
Herzegovina, Is for an early start
on campaigning 80 that the allies
may be assured OF maximum OF

better prepared than their foe.

mieY' asked the kind-hearted employ,
er.-Chicago Daily News.


The most dramatic of silent men
was Wallenstein, the antagonist OF
Gustavus Adolphus and the command
er Of the emperor's armies in the Thir-
ty Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud con
versation should disturb their general.
They knew that a chamberlain had
been hanged for waking him without
orders and that an officer who would
wear clanking spurs in the command
er's presence had been secretly put
to death. In the rooms Of his palace
the servants glided as If they were
phantoms, and a dozen sentinels NOV
ed about his tent charged to secure
the silence the general demanded.
Chains were stretched across the
streets in order to guard him against
the disturbance OF sounds. Wallen-
STEMS taciturnity, which made him
shun speech, and his love of silence,
which caused him to be irritated at the
slightest noise, were due to his consti-
tutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to be
gaZed at, even when giving an order.
The soldiers, when he crossed the
camp, pretended not to see him, know
ing that a curious look would bring
them punishment.

ABOUT THE TAMALE HUsKs.

mand for the 'Hot Things"
DO you know said the tamale iend
to a Kansas City Times man, 'that Z
good part Of the profit in the tamaA
trade goes to the farmers Of johnson
County, KansasT"
"Oh, shucks - returned the other.
Yes, that's just it. The farmers out
there supply the Kansas City market
with the corn husks the tamales are
wrapped in, and it would surprise you
to learn the extent Of the business. Any
old corn husk won't do for the business.

nine inches, to allow for the ends be-

why, who'd go to all that bother
for a dinky little business like this? ~
asked the listener incredulously.
Bother? Dinky? Say, do you know
these corn huslSs are shipped in here in
5UO-pound bales? That's quite 4 re-
spectacle sized industry, I take II. At
any rate, the Kansas farmers have
found it profitable enough to go to the
expense Of buying presses to bale the
product and a large agricultural supply
house in Kansas City finds 1t worth
while to carry it in stock and cater to
the trade Of the tamale men,"
What is the particular advantage
Of using corn husks for this purpose ~
asked the listener. isn't there any
thing else that would do?"
Nothing that would answer as many
purposes. The corn husk holds tho
tamale while 1t Is cooked and at the
same time Imparts a flavor to it. It
also holds the heat rs nothing else

kettle on the fire, and returned to Tom,
who sat, white and tired, looking at
opposite to him.
NOW, we're right" said Lionel.
Come In here, Tom
He helped his brother to a cosy arm
chair near the fire and busted himself
with setting out some bread and cold
meat, which was ready cut, from a cup
board, talking rapidly and vivaciously
all the while.

to forget everything else but to satisfy

and addressed in a firm, clerky hand,

He led his brother upstairs and. with
rare tact, left him after giving him the
key Of the ancient oak clothes chest
where their mother had kept their stock
of household linen, their little baby
shoes, and other trihes of fond remem-
brance. Ton unlocked the chest and
with trembling hands drew out the

pressed to her breast, her lissom, gray

Softly closing the door, he crept up
stairs, c~huckling to himself at every
step.
What a lark! Poor old Tom"
Tom waited till his brother had closed
the door, and then ripped open the en-
velope and took out the letter:
my Son--Eou and I parted in anger.
You have gone away, I know not where,
leaving your father and our brother
without a goodbye. You have not writ
ten, and o i'll my last days I find
myself cut off from communicate ton with
my eldest son. But before I die ] wish
to set down some particulars of which
l feel you are ignorant. Jacob Arley was
my enemy. The only, crime he could
ever accuse me of was that I married
your mother-the girl he professed to
love, but who did not love him. Three
times be tried to ruin me in business,
but failed. When you told me that you
loved his daughter and wished to
marry her, 1 forbade you, on pain Of my
displeasure, to think Of such d thing.
When you p~ersisted-you were always
stubborn-I threatened you with loss
Of my favor and esteem, and to dis
suade you-for I loved you, my son-I
informed you that your brother Lionel
had a claim upon Miss Arley's afrec-
lions. SO he had, but not upon the
Miss Arley whom you and ] quarreled
about. The woman your brother loved
and has Just married Is Miss ArIey's
cousin. and bore the same name. I ask
you to let the traitorous designs OF your
fathers enemey be the excus for my
deception. 1 have since repented OF it.
Before I go to join your mother I wish
you to know. should this letter ever

Short Suggestions.

Hot sunshine will remove scorch.
Hot tartaric acid will take ink
stains out of white cloth.
A package or envelope sealed with
white of egg cannot be steamed open.
Even delicate glass can be safely
washed in very hot water if slipped In
%edgewise.
Insects like neither salt nor alum and
enough adheres to the carpet to keep
them away.
Saturate grass stains on children's
pinafores, etc, in paraffin and then
put into the washtub.
Burning oil is spread by, water. To
eXtinguish it throw down -four, sand
or earth. The idea is to prevent the
oil spreading.
Starch should be mixed with soapy
water, for thus h linen will have a
more glossy appearance and be less
likely to stick to the iron.
Clotheslines and pegs will last much
longer If they are boiled for ten min
utes when new. 1t is a good plan to re-
peat the boiling occasionally.
1t is not generally known, but to
prevent cakes from burning, place a
little bran at the bottom of the tins.
This will save a lot of grumblinS and
vexation.
Badly stained d%ecanters and flower
vases may be cleaned with a little di-
luted hydrochloric acid. After using
the acid be sure to rinse very thorough.

IN LOVES TENDER KEEPING.

Hold me a little away from the world,
Dear arms with your tenderest cling
ing;
The bird with its breast to the blue sing
eth sweet,
But the stars never answer Its singing.
The cold lights but lure US to lead us
astray;
The thorn's in the red Of the rose Of
May
Lead me to love, dear, and teach me to
pray.
Hold me a little away from the world,
Dear arms with your firm clasp and
tender;
For the lights on the heights stream
through desolate nights
A tempest of tears in the splendor.
'Tis the CLEAN and the dream that would
lead US astray,
The keen thorns lave crimsoned the roses

Lead me to love, dear, and teach me to

Through the Night
~~~~

Hot with %resentful retrospect, Tom
Sardon leaned heavily upon the parapet
Of the bridge. All around b silent
streets, the absence Of life, the dark
ness, accentuated more than illumined
by the e~ven-spaced gas lamps, seemed to
convey the idea of a deserted city-as
If man, awed by the devastation he had
wrought on fair Natures face, had fled
from his grim h~andiwork. Like virgin
souls engulfed in a mire of sin, the
~snowfakes fell silently and vanished in
the grImy-looking water that flowed sui
lenly underneath the bridge.
Il beg your PARDON
The lurch Of a heavy body against
the brooding man brought him back
sharply to the present. A belated trav-
eler, the sound of his footsteps dead
ened by the mantle Of snow which by
this time had turned sidewalk and road
way into one level highway, had slipped
on a snow-tipped heel and fallen against
the loiterer on the bridge. The latter,
80 b%rusquely aroused to time and place,
started at the sound Of the other mans
voice, and peered, with set eyes, into
his face. The recognition was mutual.

my dear lad, who'd have thought Of

Lionel held out his hand, but the
proffered mark Of friendship was un-
needed. With body erect and taut, in
n voice which a blend of bitterness and
anxiety made to tremble, Tom asked:
Ibid you marry Miss Arley|
YES" returned the other.
"Then I wish you much happiness !"
snapped out the angry Tom, and, turn
ing on his heel, strobe off, not noticing,
In his hot mood, that he was going in

pursuing.

looking at his brothers %retreating fig

sion he hurried after the wanderer.

to discuss the past? My father drove
me from his presence with a bitter

BY this time they had reached a
house which stood. an oasis OF home

steps, the arched fanlight over the door,
the solid aspect OF the building, told
of q time when merchants were con-
tent to live amidst the scenes Of their

Tenderness of the Judge
Justice Hawkins tenderness for
women prisoners was well known. He
admitted it, and he had a great dislike
Of sentencing these poor creatures to
death who had been recommended to
mercy and would probably be re-
proved. On one such occasion the
sheriff asked If he. was lot going to
put on the black cap
NO" he answered, 81 am not. 1 do
not intend the poor creature to be
hanged, and I am not going to brighten
her to death
Addressing her by name, he said:
Don't pay my attention to what 1
am going to read. No harm will be
lone t you. ! am sure you did not
know in your great trouble and sorrow
what you were doing, and l will take
care to represent you case so that
nothing will harm you in the way Of
punishment"
He then mumbled over the words of
the sentence of death so that the poor
creature did not lear them.-London
