for the one item of railroad ties, not taking
into consideration the quantity used in the con-

A Confession.

Lord Kitchener had determined to
avoid all public functions during hia
trip across the country. He yielded,
however, to the insistent demand that
he attend a banquet in honor Of Rear
Admiral Sebree In San Francisco. In
a modest after-dinner speech hs
praised the career of the admiral.
Because 1t was a naval banquet the
talk naturally turned to the sea and
sailors.
sailors, as q Glass; said Lord
Kitchener, have a very keen sense Of
humor. l remember a story Of sail
or, Just back from a six months
cruise. The young man had been eel

said man who halls from the burg of

to lose sight of the fact that her
mother was Bidd1e. In Sunday

The little girl had planned it all

the plans. Father had looked troub-

was all arranged. There was a nice
shed to keep the pony in, and she
had gathered grass and put it in q
soap box in the stall in case the pony
should come.
She would drive to the ONCE for
father every day of the world, and
when mother wanted something from
the grocery in hurry al she would
have to do would be to Jump on the
pony or get into the little cart that
comes with all ponies and get it in

How the other little girls would
envy her as she drove past! Some
Of them she would let ride with her,
but some of them-no, they were
mean and shouldn't even come near
the pony.
Mother told father all these things
at night, and father would do sums in
mental arithmetic in the dark and
postpone the solution to another time,
for all sums cannot be- worked out
right away.
Then mother took a hand.
"John," she said, cans we get some
kind of a pony for her? Anything
will do. She don't need a fancy pony

something she can drive" Father
said he would see.

For Slippers.

It Is comparatively lately that the
slipper case of chintz has been made
to fit the slipper. Heretofore the
closet door seems to have been the
final aim and object Of the cutter.
The pieces Of applied chintz that
hold the slipper are now made toe
shaped, so that each dainty slipper fits
perfectly into it's own socket and is
held in place. When all is said and
done, the hanging case that accom-
modates full line of shoes and an
other case for the daintier pumps and
slippers will prove more useful than
separate bags for each pair.
