Had the Wrong Conception.

Washington gas bills are printed on
paper of "a peculiar brownish-salmonish
shade, says the Saturday Evening
Post. The Washington bureau of the
New York Tribune uses copy paper Of
about the same shade.
A few nights ago George Griswold
Hill of the Tribune took night of
and went to the theater. He sat in the
third seat from the aisle, Next to
him was a gray-mustached old man Of
a most severe appearance. Hill left
word at the Office that he should be mo-
titled If anything turned up that needed
attention. &
Several stories broke that night and
the ushers brought him various notes
on the ONCE paper. The severe man
with the gray mustache was asked to
hand the notes to Hill. Finally, a note
came that made 1t necessary for Hill
to 20 to the telephone. The usher
handed 1t to Hill's neighbor, and Hill
had to Chamber over him to get out.
The old man was testy. His enjoy
ment of the play had been spoiled by
the notes. AS Hillzclimbed over him
he said bod CAST It, young man, I
think this is a shame. Why In thun-
der don't you pay VOW gas bill?'

TO PROPAGATE MussgLs.
Government viii Cultivate 6lVaIvsS
for Their Shells.

Washington.-The government Is
going into the business OF propagating
that hitherto, useless member OF the
family of bivalves-the mussel. The
mussel is not to be multiplied to pro-
duce an addition to the food supply
Of the country, but is to be cultivated
for its shell.
In the last year Commissioner Of
Fisheries Bowers states 100000
worth of fancy buttons have been
made from mussel shells. The supply
is getting scarce and propagation work
is necessary.
Experiments by the fish commits
sion have shown that mussels can be
propagated rapidly and ponds can be
constructed without considerable ex-
pense. Congress appropriated $4,000
for the purpose of hatchery, and its
erection will be begun soon after July
/, when the money will be available.
1t is Commissioner Bowers inten-
ton to have main hatchery and two
branches, and the act requires them
to be located somewhere in the Missis-
sippi river valley. 1t is the present in
tention to erect the main hatchery and
ponds near Muscatine or Davenport,
Ia, and branch at Winona Mimi.
From these three places the Mississip-
pi and other rivers will be supplied
with young mussels to grow for manu-
featuring into pearl" and other fancy
buttons.

the SOUP
THAT TALKED
Copyright, By shortstory Pub. CO.


1t was right here in this restaurant
that 1t happened I'll remember 1t
long after | forget my debts. was
sitting over there at that table in that
end seat, while across there at that
other table was Q man with a big,
ugly scar on his forehead and only
one eye.
Well, l saw him look up suddenly
with a start Of recognition, and then
he ducked his head and sort of hid
his face in his beard. and just then
meek, smiling little man, In q gray
tweed suit, hung up his hat and sat
down opposite the one-eyed man,
He put on his glasses, tucked q
napkin under his chin, and. taking the
bill-of-fare from between the vinegar
and ketchup bottles, studied 1t like It
were a chess.board, and he was about
to make a difficult move.
The girl came and stood by his
chair. Il guess I'll take a little soup"
he ordered, smiling over the top rims
Of his glasses.
The girl brought the soup, glass
Of water and piece OF butter, land
got his order for roast beef, rare, veg
etables and tea; then she went back
to the kitchen and the little man, the
one-eyed chap and myself we're left
alone with our three plates of soup.
It was what is called alphabet soup
that thin, clear soup, with little
noodle or cracker letters in it. The
students that eat here call 1t A B G
chowder. The letters swell after
they're in the soup, but even then
they aren't a third of an inch long,
1t always strikes me as a sort Of
humorous soup.
Well, the little man was about to
begin on his plate, when the one-eyed
chap across from him accidentally
brushed his fork of the table to the
floor, and in STOPPING to get it, kicked
It farther under the table. AS the lit
tie man pushed back his chair and
CROPPED for the fork, obliging like, I
saw the one-eyed fellow quickly pass
his hand over the others plate Of
soup, as II he were dropping some
thing into 1t.
The little man recovered the fork,
returned it to mis- neighbor, and TAX.
ing up his spoon, was about to begin
eating, when his hand was suddenly
stayed, and his face turned kind Of
gray, as If he saw a ghost in his plate.
Another instant he looked up with
his eyes sticking out like a frogs be.
hind his glasses, and yelled: "Pois'

The one-eyed chap jumped as II
some one had flung a moose about his
neck, seized his hat and rushed into
the street.
"Hallo!" l cried, whats wrong?"
The little man. With his spoon in his
hand and his napkin tucked under his
chin, stared from me to the vacant
seat, and then back to his soup.
