KEPT THE CLOTHES
YouNesTER REALLY PAID TWICE
FOR NEW SUIT.
Little Walters Revolt Ended In Tras-
edy, But for the First Time He
Felt He Had Proper Wear
ing Apparel.


Little Walter was getting good and
tired Of 1t. It seemed to him that he
had never known a time when he had
owned any clothes that somebody
hadn't owned before him, and here he
was 10 years old-and large for his
age, people said.
He looked down in disgust upon the
brown knee pants that were wide
enough for show elephant. They had
once belonged to Brother Dave, and
Brother Dave had worn them about
so much that even after they had been
cut down people recognized them.
Little Walter sighed. Then a
thought struck him--a daring thought.
He slipped into the house by the back
way and pried open the savings bank
grandpa had given him. In it was the
sum Of $4.74, mostly in nickels, dimes
and pennies.
Immediately after supper he slipped
out and walked to tow@-it was only a
mile and half and the stores stayed
open until nine o'clock on Saturday
night.

merchant. Mr.. Tanner considered.

shrewdly. -Four dollars, eh2 Well,

Thus 1t came about that on Sunday
morning little Walter showed up at
breakfast in new gray suit. His
father and his mother stared amazed
ly at him.
Where did you get them clothes?'
demanded his father.

speak nonchalantly.

he worked his finger about until he
had poked hole In the cloth.

tearfully; Il snagged a hole in the
pants" His mother whirled him
about and examined him.
That's what he's DONE" she said
Indignantly. His father looked at him
grimly.

Wendell Phillips Driven From Home.

"S"eSh THilPS DTINSH FEom TIoIncs
A pathetic story was recently re-
lated concerning Wendell Phillips,
who during the last days of his life
lived alone in his old Essex street
home. The floor of his room was car
petless and no curtains shaded the
windows, which looked out upon the
many skyscrapers that had closed in
upon the old house, seeming about to
smother the Webster mansion on
Summer street and Church green. The
best days and love-life of the great
orators stormy career were associated
with those familiar rooms and he
pleaded eloquently before the indom-.
table condemnation committee" that
his old home might be spared to him
during his lifetime, offering to leave
1t by will as a free gift, provided he
might end his days In peace in the
room he knew SO well. The juggernaut
Of building development was not to be
turned aside, even by the touching
plea of his palsied hands and quaver-
ing voice, and the wave Of Improve
ment" swept away the home in which
Wendell Phillips had hoped to dwell
in his old age. He, whose ringing
voice and eloquent gestures had
stirred the souls of so many myriads,
was powerless to influence the mem
bers of the committee, or persuade
them to stay the wave of street and
city renovation which surged upon
him In the sere and yellow winter of
his life.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in "Af-
fairs at Washington" National Maya

of the egg it lays by means of dyes in

of the Cornell experiments. II have
been working along these lines and
have had considerable success.
I'VE have made these experiments
for the last three years, and we find
that eggs may be colored any tint we
desire simply by placing dye in the
food which we give the hen. For in
stance, if we want a purple egg we
give the hen some purple dye in the
cornmeal The hen eats this, and a
day or two later when she lays an egg
we find purple ring around the outer
edge Of the yolk. If we keep feeding
her purple dye in the course of week
the yolk becomes a deep purple.
