GETTING WEIGHED.
One Patron Whose Motive Might Have
Puzzled Any Weighing Machine.

OHC FdtTOT vtNOSC IuOSiNO ViS's
Puzzled Any Weighing Machine.
If the weighing machines that stand
around in public places with mouth
ever open for cents could talk odd
tales could they tell of the many and
varied people that step upon their
p.atforms-of the stout lady who steps
down with a smile glad that she has
lost one pound out of 300. Of the stou:
gentleman who fumes because he has
gained one, of the slim gentleman
who steps up with forty pound suit
case in his hand and is astounded to
find himself gaining weight so rapidly,
OF the merry parties Of young men
and young women who, some plump,
some lean. step up one after another:
of the proud parent who sets little
Willie there and then little Ethel, OF
the keen small boy who tries to get
his grandfather to let him step up
before the old gentleman steps down
so that they can both get weighed
for a cent, and all that sort OF thing.
In short the weighing machine
meets all sorts and varieties OF peo-
pie, and it comes to know them all,
or nearly all; and it knows as A
rule just what prompts them to weigh
themselves, whether it is idleness, In
terest, curiosity, fear or just fun. But
probably it would puzzle even weish
ing machine, though it knows so many
people, to tell just why woman walk
ing along a street on rainy night
and carrying an umbrella should hal!
at machine standing out on the
sidewalk and step up in the rain to
weigh herself.-New York Sun.

"The Good Old Times"

1t was an interesting discussion
which a little group OF guests had
last evening at the governors house
on the subject of "the good old times,
They were none of them young
and one man said he remem bered we'll
a time when whiskey cost only Is to
20 cents a quart But no one seem
ed much impressed with that fact
Then 1t was recalled that there was
no state board OF health and no steril-
lied milk in "the good old times"
Somebody INDUCED in "reminiscences
OF the alright stove We used to shake
down" Of a cold morning in the good
old times" before steam-heated apart.
ments had been dreamed of. Another
man dwelt whimsically on the fact
that there were no automobiles in
the good cid tines" and no tele.
phones. 1t was remembered also that
a stationary bathtub was very rare
luxury.
But still they were good old times"
to the men who were talking about
them, because they were the days
when these men rose each morning to
find the world newly created. Those
were the times when their health was
sure and their hearts beat high and
youth sang in their blood.
And now the children-in soma
cases the grandchildren-of these
men are enjoying their good old
times" just as their fathers and their
grandfathers did before them, feeling
sorry, meanwhile. just as their fathers
did before them, for the meager good
old times" of an earlier age.
There are good old times" In pros
pect also for the generations yet un-
born. Because to all of them will
come springtime and youthtide.-Den-

GOODWIN SMITH ON FOOTBALL
Says Force Spent in That Game Can

Says Force Spent in That Game Can
not Be Recalled for Study.
Declaring that in the case OF uni
versity men muscle does not count for
much in life and that energy spent
in football cannot be recalled. Cold
win Smith, in a short letter to the
Cornell Era, tells Of his ideal IN atm
letics. The letter follows:
81 see that the number OF athletes
failing to pass a university examina'
ton IS less than it was. The shade
OF Ezra Cornell will rejoice. What
cur founder wanted was not show
of muscle. but preparation for life,
in which in the case of university men
muscle does not count for much. The
force spent in football cannot be re-
called for study. Let us have games
by all means, but games which exer-
else not exhaust and in which all alike
can take part. Besides there Is mill
tary drill, good in itself and not to
be neglected If the force of the coun-
try is to be kept in the right hands
into some universities the betting ring
seems to have crept; never I hope
into ours"

TRICK OF BRETON WRECkERS.
How They Lured Mariners to Destrue-
tion on Dangerous Coast.

Along this dangerous coast the
hard hearted "Pagani" or wreckers
had their settlements Many are the
vessels that have been lured to de-
struction by their false lights; many
are the drowned who met their deaths
through the treachery of those to
whom they looked for help. The
Pagani were regarded with great aver
sion by the people of neignboring vii
lagos, but they knew no shame.
A favorite device was to fasten 4
lantern to a bulls horns and then tic
the animals head to his forefeet and
drive him along the cliffs. The
stumbling movements of the poor
beast agitated the lantern in such .
manner that to those at sea it re-
sembled the light of ship pitching
and tossing On the waters. Other
vessels would feel that they could sail
in the direction of this light in per-
feet safety, only to find that they
had been treacherously lured to de-
struction.
Of late years tales OF bravery In
saving life, of kindness toward the
shipwrecked, have softened the men,
ory of a past reputation. Cases have
been known where the people have
given their most treasured costumes
to clothe the poor bodies that have
been washed ashore, but even in these
days inhabitants of this wild region
are extremely tenacious of their rights
of wreckage-Tregastel correspon.

REVISING a Sonnet to Gladys.

The minor poet, having caught tne
first glimpse of his bride in disnaDalie'
turned with a sigh to his new SON
net ITO Gladstone Gladys" and chang
ed the first line. 20 golden strands
Of hair that fun and puff" to 20 hair,
all golden but the roots!"
Taking another squint, he found II
necessary to revise the line, "The eye
brow of nv queen is loves own
down." to "The eyebrow OF my love
comes in tin tubes"
After the next glimpse, he changed
the line "Her cheeks are the gift OF
the sunbeams" to 'Her cheeks are four
layers Deep" and the line GLADYS
was nodded by the sun, the wind AMI
the sea" to GLADYS is padded here
and there and in other places" Final
ly, with much groaning Of spirit he
found It necessary to omit the lines:
';My love is made Of gauze and moon
beams; and oft I fear that she DIS
solves, drifting ethereally about nom
cloud to cloud" and substitute these.
"Yes. Gladys Is composed Of equal
portions Of horsehair, wire netting,
carriage paint, cotton-wadding and the
switches of all nations; and oft ]
fear that, hiking down the pike IN
raintime, Daniel, or swinging by the
strap In Brooklyn street cars, from
the Bridge to East New York, my
love will melt into rainbow-colored
puddle, or crumble into mess OF de-
bris like the streets of stricken, dead
Messina."
After that, he sold the poem, which
had been originally intended for The
Atlantic Monthly" to this paper, for
twenty-five dollars.-From Puck.

THE HAIRP1N'S USES.

It is extraordinary how few COM
prehend the hairpin's full capacity.
For example, the hairpin may be used:.
AS a gimlet-To bore holes in soft
wood, pasteboard, OF plaster walls.
AS an eggbeater-Two or three
hairpins held together will beat eggs
much better than the various ma
chimes upon the market.
AS a pen-Some important letters
have been scratched by debutantes
in dim conservatories upon the sticks
of fans
As a snore cure-Fastened to the
lips, it keeps them together, thus
compelling nasal breathing, which kills
the snore.
The hairpin's uses in manicuring, IN
the eradication of wrinkles, and IN
other beauty operations are perhaps
we'll known, while no doubt all womr
en-in these days of women's clubs
are acquainted with its excellence as

their ice wrapped up in a piece OF

which wastes the ice and affords no

Take two large boxes (dry goods boxes
is what is used), select the second
one about two inches smaller on all
sides, bore two holes one inch In
diameter in both correspondingly TO
give drainage and ventilation, fill UP
the space under the boxes with powd-
cred charcoal, put the inner box IN
place and fill up all spaces with same,
fix on the lids to both boxes to mt
tightly with iron hinges Qeather ones
can be substituted) and fasten with
lock and key If desired, put shelves
on the inner box by means OF cleats.
