There's a boy in our house who
turns that grindstone. Early and late
he Is down there fooling with 1t. He
doesn't have to turn 1t, that Is why he

when boy he could be induced to ap-
proach 1t only through the persuasive
application Of stick or the end of a
leather strap. The boy next door is
his partner in these grindstone stunts.
They sharpen knives. The next door
boy holds the knife while our boy
turns the crank. They have three diff
ferent knives to work on. Apparently
neither of these weapons is ever used
for anything except grinding. They
are the sharpest knives I ever saw.
In the days when I turned a grind.

The men turned for sharpened
scythes and axes and butchers knives

the knives these boys own.

1T was under such disadvantages
that my early acquaintance with a

know no such incentive to pegging
away at their everlasting grinding.
Their bouts with the grindstone are
mere play. Still, I am glad they have
1t to play with. You don't see many

The Closed Season.

A recently married West Philadel.

much amusement at small dinner in
one Of the downtown hotels recently,

father-in-law, having been made god.
father to the child of one of his bust

present to the infant in recognition
Of the honor. Knowing that others in

he decided that he would go out OF
this conventional line and give the
baby carriage.
Being very busy man, he commits.
stoned his daughter-in-law to do the
buying, with instructions to get very
fine one. During lull in the CONVEX
sation at the dinner the father-in-law
said: "Bess, did you get that baby
carriage?" "Oh, | got you a beauty,
and only ten dollars was the reply.
"You didn't get a good one for that
price," protested the father-in-law.
Yes, l did," asserted the young lady;
the salesman said they were re-
duced because this wasn't the sea-
son." Then she wondered why every
one laughed.

MoscoW's Many Beqqars.

Of the beggars so characteristic of
Russia's ancient capital writer
says: The old city of Moscow could
not easily be disassociated from the
10000 beggars who haunt its snowy
streets. The city belongs to them;
if the city rats own the drains, they
own the streets. They are part of the
city, they are in perfect harmony with
it; take away the beggars and you
destroy something vital Some are SO
old and weather battered that they
make the Kremlin itself look older,
and of those who lie at the monastery
doors some are so fearfully pitiable
in their decreptitude that they lend
power to the churches"

Anecdote of Kinu Edward.

The "Gaulois" relates the following
"anecdote delicieuse" Edward VII,
while still prince of Wales, was &C.
customed to take his morning walk
alone in ST. James park. One day he
noticed that he was being followed
by two little boys, and turned round
to look at them. Although at first
much disconnected, one of them
plucked up courage, and, taking off
his cap, said: Your royal highness,
my little friend is French, and | have
just made a bet with him that you
are the heir to the throne of England"
The prince Of Wales replied, smiling:
You have won; but what was your
little friends bet?" He bet that
your royal highness was Partisan"
"Oh, well, them" said the prince,
smiling, "he has also won"

MAY PURCHASE NEW
BOULEVARDING MACHINE

Park Commissioner Breitmeyer has
been investigating a road machine
which he may adopt here for the re-
surfacing of the boulevards. Ry this
method, which is in use In Chicago, q
species of tar-macadam pavement can
be laid at cost OF only so cents pc:
square yard, much less than the pres
ent cost for resurfacing with trap
rock.
This machine uses an asphaltic
mixture which binds together the
broken stone or other material used
and iesults In a fine pavement" says
Breitmeyer. II spent a couple 81 days
In watching its operation and X look
ed very good TO me. We could use the
old stone from the topping of the
boulevards to run into the machine
and turn out fine paving material
The plant would cost from $1,000
to $4,000, according TO capacity. and
Commissioners Breitmeyer may go to
the council for permission to purchase
