a lieutenant who stood by his side he

Yes, sir" the lieutenant replied.

"oId cy" Loves the Mazum..

Cy Young, the grand old Trojan
among baseball men, is said to be one
OF the most economical men in the
business. Unglaub, the new player
that Washington recently secured
from Boston, tells this story on
Young:
1t appears that when the Boston club
was in Cleveland, which is not very
many miles from Cy Youngs big farm,
Cy wished to telephone some instruc-
lions to his farm manager, and he re-
sorted to the long distance telephone
as a means of quick communication.
While Cy was telephoning, Unglaub
and Mcconnell happened to stroll up
to the telephone booth. When Young
had ceased talking and was getting
the necessary change out of his pocket
to pay for his message, Mcconnell,
who is a youngster just fresh from col
lege said to Young:
Consider the long distance tele-
phone"
Eyes" broke In Young with wry
expression on his countenance as he
began counting his change, "and see
how quickly it makes you short"

are in Boston about 5000 newsboys,
and of these 5000 at least are under

under ten is allowed to sell at all. Yes,
many of those little fellows that you
see are ten years old and more, but

Apple superstltions.

In Scotland one OF the Halloween
customs used to be 'eating an apple at
the glass That was to stand before
looking-glass and eat an apple with
one hand and with the other comb the
hair, when the face of ones future hus-
band would be seen in the glass look
ing over the left shoulder, In the
south of England an apple charm was
for each person present to fasten an
apple on to a,string, after which the
strings were hung and twirled before
the fire. The owner OF the apple which
first falls off is declared about to be
married. AS each ones apple falls off,
SO does the order of matrimony pro-
coed. Single bliss is the lot of the
owner of the last apple left on the
string.

sTILL KEEP ANCIENT CUSTOM.
Curious Medieval Ceremony In Law
Courts Of London.

One of the most curious suryivals
Of the quaint methods OF other times
was witnessed the other day in one
Of the London law courts. Here the
solicitor of the city of London attend
ed before the kings remembrances to
render quit rent services in respect OF
certain properties in the city of Lon
don and the county Of Salop. On the
table were block of wood, two fagots
Of twigs, six horseshoes, and bag
OF nails. Warrants were read calling
upon the tenants of the properties
concerned to come forth and do their
service" whereupon the city solicitor
gravely placed one of the fagots on
the block and cut it with Ratchet.
Then he cut the fagot with billhook
and afterward rendered the six horse
shoes and counted out 60 nails, In
heaps of ten, adding one extra nail.
at which the Kings Remembrance
said Good number" Then the city
solicitor asked; Has his majesty any
orders with regard to these nipple
ments?" and the Kings Remem
brancer replied II will take them to
be at the disposal of his majesty"
This ended the ceremony whfch
dates from over 600 years ago.

DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply
Cannot Learn.

A small coterie Of French doctors is

and has at the moment under its es

existence Of the Ounce is frequently tc
be attributed, they declare, to faulty
hygienic environment, unsuitable food
or tactless treatment. incidentally
they assert that a disposition for
mathematical studies is no criterion
of capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to deal
with numbers is often observable in
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any
thing but a Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, OF
lncipient deafness, and his teachers
fail to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and self-consclousness, often charac
teristic in children, are the so.called
dullard's inability to learn. All chill
dren do not progress with the same
alertness. The phenomenon of grown
ups who are ten years behind then
