only way He Gould Get Even.

Frank Bertram, a we'll known ac.
tor, tells the following story:
II was playing at Leicester during
the fair week and in the market place
there were several merry-go-rounds
Il noticed one melancholy individ-
ual who, despite the fact that he was
apparently suffering greatly, persisted
in riding on one of the merry-go-
rounds.
Eventually 1 spoke to him and
asked him If he liked it.
1.-THE man replied, No, don't like
it bit; the blessed thing makes me
ILL.,
II then asked him why he persist
ed in riding, and his reply was: I
can't help it. The man who owns this
roundabout owes me money and the
only way can get even is by taking
it out In rides. London Daily Tel
egraph.

you could spare the money to come
home for the Thanksgiving dinner.
Maybe another year you can do so.
OF course we know it costs you an
awful lot to live in town, and things
have not gone very we'll on the farm
this year, SO we can't afford to send
you the money. Well be thinking of
you, though, on Thanksgiving Day.
your affectionate father.
JOHN ACKER."
Mary read the letter through twice.
Girl friends! She had none. She
hardly knew the people in the house
where she boarded. She thought of
the seventy-five dollars in the bank.
What had she been saving it for? To
buy fine clothes when she became part
of the city life; and how far would
seventy-fve dollars go? She asked
the question bitterly.
All of sudden she seemed to see
her mother in the big, cheeful kitch-
en-, singing over the preparations for
Thanksgiving dinner. But would
she be singing with daughter far
away from her in strange, lonesome
city? No, they did not look on her
ais being lonesome; no doubt she was
having very good time, for Mary
had always kept up appearances in
her letters. And then she happened
to see the postscript on the back of
her fathers note:
"Jim Coleman bought Deacon Will
sons store at the Corners. He's fix
ing it up in good shape, and they say
that Myra Wilson's going to stay and
clerk for him."
Just how it happened Mary could
never tell, but suddenly the picture
Of Goldman, the salesman in his
mock jewelry, came before her and
offended her mental vision.
It was o'clock the next day be-
fore she thought Of him again, she
had been SO busy with her prepara-
tions to leave town. Now she hurried
to the telephone.
"Oh, Mr.. Goldman, she exclaimed
as she heard his voice at the other
end of the wire, Il am going home for
Thanksgiving, so | can't take dinner
with you tomorrow night"
"Well, you're wonder" In dis
gusted accents, "to throw fellow
down like this at the last minute.

Rather Clever, What?

While the proverbial Englishman
may not be able to distinguish a joke
in less than two weeks time, he often
says something to arouse the risi-
bilities. Among the passengers on
one of the big ocean liners lately COM
ing from Cherbourg was a Britisher
with an appetite for information on
topics of every conceivable descrip-
tion. Wherever knowledge was be-
ing disseminated he was to be found.
One day he overheard another pas
senger remark that the captain had
said they should see Sandy Hook
within twenty-four hours.
Sandy Hook" exclaimed the
Englishman; land who's he; some
prominent Scotchman in New York;"

Mary Acker sat on the foot of the
bed, her handbook on her knee, a
pencil between her fingers, and a
frown on her low, broad brow.
"Twenty-nine from seventy-five
leaves forty-six, she murmured to
herself. @Even then it won't be so
very much. The silk in that waist is
worse than a second, and the hat
looks as though it came off bargain
counter-which it did,"
The frown deepened and the pencil
made uncertain, imaginary lines in
midair.
"Oh, dear. what's the use of living
In city and being nobody-because
1t takes a million to be somebody"
The Morris County chronicle., 1909-11-23

She flung down the pencil and the
book. marched over to the bureau,
and resting the palm of her hands on
its top, she studied. the reflection in
the mirror Yes, she was pretty!
And she didn't need mirror to tell
her SO. The admiring glances of men
who passed her on the street and the
a6utspoken admiration or unveiled
jealousy of the girls in the store
where she clarked had told her this
every day since she had come to town.
And with a certain sense of satisfac-
tion she realized further that she was
a very different girl from the fright
ened country lassie who had started
in as a wrapper at Blank C Dash's
department store two years back
1t had been hard struggle. She
had lived a. first at a working girls
home. but as her salary had been
gradually raised she had gone to
more attractive clearinghouse. Still
she realized more and more each day
that she was mere atom in this city
life. She had made a few acquaint-
ances at the church where she had
enrolled, but Sunday often found her
too tired to leave the house, or she
had a little washing or mending to
do. Somehow she had never been
able to fraternize with the girls at
the store, and the invitations which
she had received from callow youths
who shared her work behind the
counter had been unattractive. Very
different had been her picture of the
new life in Boston, when, in defiance
of the wishes of her family, and of
Jim Coleman, who had been her
avowed suitor ever since he had car
ried her books to the district school,
she had turned her back on Newton
Village and her face toward Boston.
She was going to see life. She was
going to be one of those bachelor
maids that she had read about. She
would be part of the picture and
action of the great city, and now, to-
day. she realized for the first time
that she had an opportunity to take
part in the glittering side of life. She
had received an invitation from Har-
old Goldman, who sold the firm but
ter that Mary worked. and young
Goldman had been extracted to her
from the first, but for some reason
which the girl could not explain she
had gently parried his invitations.
This morning, however, he had
touched the right cord and she had
responded. He had been folding up
his samples and stopped suddenly.
Gee, but dread the day after to-
morrow! Holidays in town are al
ways lonesome If you don't know
lot of people"
Mary nodded her head; she had
been dreading Thanksgiving Day.

Mary's next visit was to the te'e-

sages and tore them up. The final
one said: @James Coleman, Newton

The train slowed up at Newton

steps of the car the figure she was
looking for loomed UP in the keen
November twilight.
"Oh, Jim! was all she said, but the
man understood, and as he tucked
her into the sleigh he looked straight
into her eyes.

Pawnbrokers' shops were first es-
tablished from motives of charity in
the fifteenth century. Their object
was to lend money to the poor upon
pledges without interest. They
were first supported by voluntary
contributions, but it became neces-
sary to charge interest upon the
money loaned. These banks we're
first called "montes pietatis," the
word "mont" being applied to any
pecuniary fund, and it is possible
that "pietatis" was added to give it
an air of religion and so obtain
larger subscriptions. The "montes
pietatis" were also called "Lom-
bards," from the name of the orig
inal money lenders, the Lombards,
who came to London in the reign
of Edward l. and established them
selves in the street which bears
their name and which in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth was the hand,

handed in an appeal for financial
assistance. written in the French

To the dramatist's astonishment,

A Mystery Of Nature That Is q Pug
xIe to the Scientists.

One of the greatest mysteries in
the world is the growth of crystals,
and one of the most delightful occu-
pations of men of science is the
search for the crystallic forms that
adorn the museums of geology and
mineralogy. There is something al
most startling in the suggestion of
lifelike forces presented by the reg
ular shapes of many crystals.
There is a remarkable resem-
blance between crystalline growth
and the growth of animals and
plants, especially with reference to
the power of healing and repairing
nilries.
If some of the lowest and sim
plest forms of animal life are torn
asunder they are not killed, but
each separate part grows into a per-
feet animal form. In plants this
power is much more completely de-
velOped, while crystals possess it to
an astonishing degree. 1t has even
been shown that a crystal that has
been injured will under some cir
cumstances suspend its growth over
the remainder of its surface until
the injured part has been repaired.
Yet there is no real life in the crys-
tai, but simply a force that causes
its particles to arrange themselves
in geometric forms.
Some crystals, it is believed, have
had their growth suspended during
millions of years, after which enor-
nous lapse of time the growth has
been renewed. Such a process would
be impossible to animals and plants,
although some imaginative story
writers have treated their readers
to wonderful accounts of suspended
animation in man.
In one respect, it has been point
ed out, crystals possess a great ad-
vantage over human beings-they
are able to renew their youth. This
is not because they have discovered
a counterpart of the marvellous
fountain that Ponce de Leon SO
vsinly searched for, but because the
forces of cEystalliEstion are able to
renew their action even after the
greater part of a crystal has been
destroyed through age or accident.
