A DAY OF ADVENTURES

One Christmas Pat and I went out
for holiday.
When we got to the city we saw lot
of things. We went to the big store,
called Hamburger's, 8, and Pat said:
Gee, isn't that big building? l
would like to go up on top of 1t.
So we went up to the top, and saw
all over Los Angeles. When we came
down we stopped at the clothing de-
partment, and he bought himself
new suit. Then he looked like dude.
We looked at the toys and bought
a few and left orders to have them
shipped home We had a lot of new
things by this time and it was about
12 o'clock.
We started for dinner, then we met
a boy who was called Grab HIS
right name was Ralph Clarelot.
When we met him the cops had him,
so he told us to go with him for wit
nesses.
We said, 1--WE don't know why you
are pinched."
He said: Some people said I killed
their dog and l never, but | have no
money and I can't get out.
"They say l am to go in for sixty
DAYS or sixty dollars" We paid his
way out of Jail and then went to
dinner.
We had a good dinner, then went
over on Broadway and saw Santa
Claus. He gave us couple of cigars.
1 told him that l did not smoke.
He said: "Give them to your dad"
So l took them home.

THREE LITTLE GIRLS
AND THEIR DOLLS HOUSE
HHeeAA!~

There were once three little dolls
named Anabelle, Clarabelle and Madge,
who belonged to three little girls named
Lillian, Polly Anne and Sue.
Now. as the three little girls were
nice children and fond of their dolls
the dolls led very happy lives. Every
morning they were washed and dressed
and given their breakfasts at dear
little round table, and every night they
were put to bed in three comfortable
little beds.
So the three dolls led very regular
and quiet lives, until one day when
their three little mistresses were away
at school they heard a great humping
and scraping on the nursery stairs, and
into the nursery came two expressmen
carving a large new doll house, which
they put down by the window
You may believe the dolls were ex-
cited! But when the children came
home they were so taken with the doll
house that they forgot the dolls, neg
lected them and broke their hearts.
AS soon as the children were asleep
the dolls began talking. 1T Is a
shame, Iney CTleuJ " IiO~N 10
way! No lunch and no supper and no
bed, after we have been good as we
could be, tool"
And they decided then and there that
they would not stand 1t any longer.
Consequently when the children came
to play with their dollhouse the next
day they found all their dolls lying stift
and straight on the dining room floor
looking as obstinate as dolls can look.
Poor dolls!" said they. 1--WE forgot
to give them any supper or to put them
to bed last night; we must give them
their breakfast right away"
So the children get out tempting
meal on the little round table, drew III
the dolls chairs around it, and, pick
ing up the dolls, tried to put them II
their chairs. But the dolls wouldn't
bend they Just set their teeth and helo
themselves as stiff and firm as If they
were broomsticks. They made up theil
minds that they were not going to play
any more.
When the three little girls discovered
these alarming symptoms in their dolls
they were much worried, so they calleC

saw another expressman come in at
the gate, this time carrying small
package.
Il wonder what that 1s," they whis-,
pered to each other. "More trouble,
suppose. Well, l don't care. l simply
won't play in that doll-house'"
Then they shouted to the express
man: go away! Go awayi"
But. being just man, the express
man didn't pay any attention to what
they said. and. in fact, he didn't even
hear them, but kept on his way up the
path to the house. When the children
heard that package had been left for
them, they came tumbling downstairs
to see what it was.
On the outside was written "These
belong with the dollhouse. l forgot to
put them in"
what can 1t be?" cried the children.
"There is everything in the doll-house!'
And they cut the strings in haste.
Inside they came upon a lot of soft
paper and inside were a whole family
of tiny dolls just the right size for the
dolls house.
How perfectly lovedy!" cried the
three invalid dolls. Now we won

thing serious the matter ne came in a
great hurry. only stopping to put on
his professional dress and to stick ms
medicine chest under his arm.
"Oh, DOCTOR" cried the three little
girls all together. "our dolls are very
i'll and we don't know what is the mat
ter with them!'
After they had told him the whole
story and explained to him the. symp-
toms, the doctor looked very grave
&'This is a very serious case he said
in his most professional tones. Put
the dolls to bed at once and feed them
on sugar and water for at least week;
after that l should recommend change
of air. Take them down to the front
garden for an afternoon. If any more
alarming symptoms appear, send Tor
me at once"
"Thank you, doctor!" said the three
little girls, I'VE will do just as you
say"
So the three angry dolls were put to
bed forthwith and were nursed with
such care that their little mistresses
had no time for the new dollhouse.
AS the invalid dolls were basking
comfortably in the sun in the front
garden at the end of the week they

dollhouse again"
And the prospect had such a good
effect upon their constitutions that
when the doctor called he found his
patients completely recovered and in
most cheerful frame of mind.
"There, my dear ladies'" he said to
the three little girls, when he left, you
see the good effects of sugar-and-
water diet and a change of climate

Wish Expensive Food.

Special causes, such as high tariffs,
agricultural readjustment, higher
wages, and increasing expenditure of
the rich, have operated to raise prices.
The re sultant seems to be the out
come of special forces on the goods side
of the price-ratio working to raise the
the price of goods more than inventions
and progress in the arts have been able
to depress them. In this respect the
latter differs from the earlier period.
Lastly, it must be admitted that,
aside from the niger prices of many
staple articles, our standard of living
has changed with the growing wealth
of the country. Each family now
wishes more expensive food, better
clothes, more costly millinery, more
pictures and books and those of high
er price, more bicycles and automobiles,
more horseback riding, more travelling
stays at higer-priced hotels, passage on
more expensive steamers, than former
ly-all to keep up in the procession with
the successful rich, who are increasing
enormously in numbers. Every one
expects, as a matter of course, to buy
fruits and vegetables out of season
such as very short time ago were
considered within reach of only the
largest purses.
Our kitchen economy is quite too
wasteful; we throw away fats and buy
lard to take their place. May it not be
the psychological hour to call for the
creation of new aristocracy for the
simple life, of those who care for the
reality and not for the shadow, for the
true inward pleasures of the mind rath-
er than for the external evanescent
show? May it not be high time to
create free-masonry of those who do
not ask how much one has, nor how
much one knows, but what one is?
Gold, in the sense of riches, may be
the root of evil; but gold, in the sense
of standard of prices, cannot be the
sole root of the evil in our increased
cost of living. A. Laurence Laughttn,
IN Scribner's Magazine.

Recent Public School Legislation

Legislation radically affecting the
public school system, was enacted at
the recent session of the legislature,
and our people cannot too promptly aid
in adjusting our high schools to meet
conditions.
1-County School Commissioners are
authorized in their discretion to appoint
"grade supervisor. Their duty is
to visit schools under the supervision
of the Superintendent and supervise
the teaching generally in the lower and
intermediate grades. Baltimore county
has for some little time had such
worker and during this year two grade
supervisors, one for primary and one
for intermediate grades have been
working jointly for Caroline and Tai
bot counties. While not required by
law they have in all cases been ladies.
2-High schools are divided into two
classes determined accordingly to the
number of high school pupils and the
character of work done. Special dona-
tons for manual training and CONNER
cial departments are done away with,
but state aid is extended in proportion
to the work done, not however to ex-
coed the sum of 50, 500 for schools of
the first group and about $1,000 for
schools of the second group. Amy
high school of either group receiving
state aid shall forfeit any special state
appropriations heretofore made for
such schools except academic appropri-
atoms made prior to 1872
A commission was appointed to con-
slider a new site, plans for buildings
&C., for the new State Normal School,
but the proposed bond issue of $500, 900
for it's immediate construction was not
authorized.
Fifteen hundred dollars are appropri-
ated for colored industrial education,
half for one central colored industrial
school and half for visitation, under the
supervision of the County Superinten-
dent, by capable supervisor who shall
cause instruction of an industrial nature
to be given in all colored schools. In
diligently enforced, this provision
should do much towards solving the
problem of educating our colored popu-
lation.
A fifty dollar increase in the mini
mum salary of one class Of principal
teachers is provided for.

ceptable to one class of oystermen,
they were opposed by others, The
| proposition to lease out the barren bot
toms on sliding scale was favorably
looked upon by the dredgers at large;
but those desiring to take up leases are
of the opinion that the price charged
by the state was too high. The OPP
position of the legislators from the
tidewater counties however, prevented
anything practical being done.
One of the striking features of the
season just passed was the absence
of shanghai and cruelty cases
among the men who man large fleet
of Bay oyster craft, says the Baltimore
American. These features in past sea-
sons, while perhaps somewhat eXagger-
ated, were disagreeable incidents of
the oyster business. The betterment
of conditions was largely brought
about by the passage of wise laws, and
in measure by the introduction of the
gasoline engine to operate the dredges,
which reduced the number of men
employed.

Oyster Season Is Now Closed

Monday was the last day this season
that the oyster could be lawfully caught
in the state waters of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries, and from now
until next September, when the season
will again open, the oyster can rest on
his soft mud bed, without fear of mol
estation.
According to the reports of practi-
cal oystermen, the season just closed
has been slightly above the average as
to quantity and quality.
Throughout the season there has been
good market for select stock, but
that character of stock has been scarce,
owing, it is stated, to the steady work
ing of the natural beds and bars, which
has got given the oysters enough time
to grow.
The defeat of the proposed amend
ment to the Hannah Oyster Law leaves
the oyster situation without change,
] and, while the amendments were &C

Telling Eggs.

The problem of feelings eggs is net
an easy one by any means. Very few
of us known how to do it properly.
On the other hand, there are those
who think they should not be told at
all, but that is old fashioned nonsense,
inspired entirely by false modesty. 1t
is safe to say that eggs should be told
at as early an age as possible consist
ent with their temperament. If al
lowed to go too long there is grave
danger that the egg welcomes bad, and
when an egg becomes bad it is hopeless.
The world is full of bad eggs which
might have been saved if they had
been told in time. -Lippincott's
