THE WEREW0LvES.
Fantastic Story Of Sixteenth Century
TRAGEDY

John Of Nuremberg relates how a
man, lost at night in a strange coun
try, directed his steps toward a fire
that he saw before him. On reaching
it he found wolf sitting enjoying It's
warmth and was informed by him
that he was really as human as him
self, but that he was compelled for u
certain number of years, Ike all his
countrymen, to assume the shape of
wolf.
A strange country. indeed where
wolves when the evenings grow chill
ly light fire and IN the comfort Of Its
rudy glow are found ready to en-
terrain the passing traveller with their
conversation!
CLAUS Magnus In the early part of
the sixteenth century tells us a story
Of nobleman and his retinue who lost
their way in journeying through a
wild forest and presently found them
selves hopelessly foodless and shelter
less. In the urgency Of their need one
of the servants disclosed to him In
confidence that he had the power OF
turning himself at will into a wolf
and doubted not but that, if his mas
ter would kindly excuse him for a
while, he would be able to find the
party some provision. Permission be-
ing given, the man disappeared into
the forest under semblance Of wolf
and very quickly returned with lamb
in his mouth and then, having fulfilled
his mission, resumed his human form.
In Auvergnc in 1888 nobleman in
returning from the chase was stop
ped by stranger, who told him that
he had been fnriously attacked by d
savage wolf, but had been fortunate
enough 10 save himself by sIashing off
one of his fore paws. This he pro
duced as a trophy, when to the as
constituent of both, II was found to
have become the delicate hand Of a
lady. The nobleman felt so sure that
he recognized a ring upon II TINT he
hurried TO the castle and there found
his wife sitting with her arm tied up,
and on removing the wrappers the
hand was missing She had to stand
her trial as a ioup-garou and. being
convicted, persisted AZ the stake

Of speculative purchases, affords
grounds for anticipating Improvement

Pool For Exercise

Mrs. w. W. King, the famous woman expert pool player, advocates the game as excellent exercise. She admits play ing the game has not reduced her weight but she says her muscles are firmer and stronger
 The game" says she, brings every muscle into play and is much better than bowling. If one learns to play with either hand, the game is balanced stil better. The game will reduce flesh thai Is not healthy flesh, and will put one in better condition. Walking about the pool table after dinner Is refreshing anc helps digestion. I always have been oc- cupied with playing a scientific game and I have found it worth the study an6 time I have given to it. In return, have not had rheumatism or indigestion with which I was afflicted when I did not spend part of the evening at the pool table. I think the game is excellent for women. They often sit In hotels and watch their husbands play. It seems to me it would be much more enjoyable if they took part In the game themselves

Famous Old Table

An old table of simply carved mahog- any, which once served as the central piece at the famous gathering of Boston citizens who met to discuss the project of throwing over King Georges tea into Boston harbor, is now in the possession of Mrs. c. B. Gilbert of Gleason street, Dorchester.
 It was in the main room of the house at the corner of Washington and Hollis streets. Boston, where historians assert that the famous tea party conspirators met. that this famous old relic was found by friend of Mrs. Gibert's sister. It is believed that this table was the one about which the party of patriots sat when dis cussing the project which later proved the warning notes of the revolution that was to follow.
 The ancient table is of simple construc- tion heavy and massive in appearance, rectangular in shape. with four legs, and with the top so constructed that one-half. as leaf, lifts up, and when the table is pushed back against the wall acts as a sort of panel behind It.
 Each of the four legs is decorated with lilies, but beyond this simple artistic dis play there is no ornamentation to en- nance or diminish the impressive mas siveness of the piece.
 Mrs Gilbert. who is much interested in old furniture and curios of all kinds, like wise possesses a wine set probably ante dating colonial days, which is replica

The Crow Considerd


 The crow never has been considered a friend of the farmer an inspiration Tor the poet. or the sport of the huntsman. He simply has been dispfsed, and has been shot by the farmer for stealing corn and destroying crops. He has found, however, a friend in Mrs A. C. Clas, society woman of Milwaukee. Mrs. Gas is fond of the woods, and is devoted to birds She has summer nome in the mountains. and, among the many birds that she has made her pets Ire three crows, which she has called the "Three Black Joes." When she re turns to her summer home she always finds them waiting for her, and they cav loudly at her appearance. She simply has to call to them and they alight on her shoulder and eat out of her hand. As she walks in her garden they flutter along after her or they will perch in the arbor as she sits reading. Though they naturally are timd, they have the ut most confidence in Mrs. Gas.
 "The baby crows were crying at the highest point of pine tree when l first saw them." said Mrs. Gas. "They were deserted, and had them brought down to me. The average person does not realize what a great thing 1t is to have wild creature have absolute confidence in him and become as fearless as do- nestle creature" Among her pets Mrs. Gas also has a bluejay.

had her one faultless picture taken ten years ago. She has now reached that painful period when birthdays are no longer hilarious occasions, and the pie ture is out of date in the matter of sleeves and hair. So when she felt re- gently that 1t was time to pay another visit to the photographer. she sought out the one who had treated her so well a decade ago. She took with her a print or the old negative. and she had herself posed In precisely the same attitude. This was for the hair and dress of the new picture As to the face. I don't know by what mysterious means the photographer accomplished it, but the face was lifted from the old picture and put into the new-a picture that is en- tirely satisfactory. The hair and sleeves Of the new picture are of 1910 model, and the face doesn't look q bit younger than when the subject is In her own room with sidelights and rose colored shades. Furthermore, the woman Is so proud of
 t that she makes no bones of telling now the thing was done. She says it's every woman's privilege to be the age she chooses for insertion in her marriage license and for her best photograph, even if she cant blot out the record in the family Bible.'

Favorite Daughter

Queen Maud of Norway was King Ed wards favorite daughter. Among the many stories told of her relations with King Edward are the following: One day she took his late majesty to see a wishing well in the grounds of Appleby Hall. near Sandringham. Nearly all the members of the royal family had or various occasions invoked the genius of the well. Queen Maud informed the king of it's wonderful powers.
 Look into it," she said; wish for something you requife, and 1t will be yours"
 King Edward gazed into the depths for a moment, then shook his head mourn fully. Tt is no good washing for any thing" he said, without the consent of parliament
 The second story concerns a perform ance of "Scrooge" at the vaudeville and illustrates King Edwards invariable kindness of heart. Queen Maud, who is a great lover of Dickens, said "On my birthday I mean to go to the vaudeville to see 'Scrooge.' His majesty. hearing of this. determined to give his daughter pleasant surprise, and immediately made arrangements for the whole of the vaudeville to appear at Sandringham.

1 and our expenses were something awful. And then, on top of all that, he goes and | invests in a brass bed, of all things in the world"
 My dear, forgive and forget" I plead | ed. Men have been known to do far sillier things, and this isn't a criminal offense-you can't have him hanged for it."
 Well, I'd like to-" replied Mrs. Caudle.
 Don't be so hard on fellow, dear, he begged he approached her affec- tionately once more. q am going to tell you something which will be a nice little surprise for you. I made some money in cotton recently and you shall have all the things you need, so malSeg out your list and let's hurry down town At this delightful news Mrs. Caudle took a new lease on life, and Mir. Caudle's stock went way up. She rushed around to get pencil and paper to make out the list of the necessary things for her and the children, and noticed that she added dozens of things that were not in the original number of items mentioned. But that seemed natural particularly since she had learned that husband had made an unexpected little pile in cotton. And so we went forth to invest in things that she needed, and the shop pingfest' turned out to be a real joy
 Mrs. Caudle tried on hats that looked like soup tureens, and chocolate pies and suits that looked like coachmans attire with sleeves like pianolo rolls, and we bought the bouffe for the dining room and rolling pins for the kitchen and got wraps for the children, and all sorts of things that 'she needed"
 ~ When we joined MT. Caudle at dinner the atmosphere was vastly different from what 1t had been earlier in the afternoon and no mention would probably ever have been made of the brass bed had not MT Caudle said
 T shall break myself of the habit for ever after this experience"
 What experience?" inquired Mrs. Cau- dle
 "Of purchasing bargains" he blandly retorted.
 Have you been buying something else?' said Mrs. Caudle spurring up at the very mention of the head of the house investing in anything. NO, I mean the brass bed" he meek ly replied. ''Din't I tell you 1t was a bargain?'
 whole attitude changed at the very sug- gestion of the word bargain" Well, bought it for one. In fact the furniture man said I saved s9O on it, but I know now I didn't for what you have bought has cost at least $500. and that isn't much of a bargain after all. Is it?' You got a bargain in wives early in the game" I chimed in, flor Mrs. Caudle is very clever woman and knows ex- actly how to manage you" And that I shall never deny" said MT. Caudle, as he proceeded to give the order for dinner

Disposal of Emery

The disposal of the finery worn by the smartest of New York's smart set has puzzled many persons. It was explained tie other day by a modiste in the upper west side who caters to a class of wom- en who dress with unusually good taste and apparent expense. The modiste ex- plained the workings of a new and de- cidedly interesting distributing agency. She exhibited gowns, hats, and lingerie that bore the marks of the famous houses of Paris, and she offered them at prices which were reasonable. indeed. She also offered to rent them.
 You see," she said, confidingly, many of the wealthiest society women wear a gown only two or three times at the most. The same way with hats. These articles practically are as good as new. They are ready to dispose of them at a small price. I and several oth- CTS have managed to get them. We have customers whose measurements we have in book. When a gown comes in that we see will fit such woman we write to her. A few alterations may be nec- essary. Sometimes we sell the gown. We often rent them for certain length of time, and. getting them back, ship them away and sell them

To Be Young

Keep in the sunlight nothing beauti- ful or sweet grows or ripens in the dark ness.
 Avoid fear in all it's varied forms of expression; it is the greatest enemy of the human race. Avoid excesses of all kinds; they are injurious. The long life must be a temperate, regular life.
 Don't live to eat, but eat to live. Many of our ills are due to overeatng, to eat lng the wrong things, and to irregular eating.
 Don't allow yourself to think on your birthday that you are year older and so much nearer the end.
 Never look on the dark side; take sunny views of everything; a sunny thought drives away the shadows.
 Be child; live simply and naturally and keep clear of entangling alliances md complications of all kinds. Cultivate the spirit of contentment; all liscontent and dissatisfaction bring age throws prematurely to the face.
 oFrm a habit of throwing off before going to bed at night all the cares and anxieties of the day-everything which can possibly cause mental wear and tear or deprive you of rest.
