An quick as s-scat day out of sight"
The Prince Just laughed, and to Dinkey said,
''You get some pepper, salt, and bread,
And boiled potatoes, and onions, too,
And I'll get rabbits for the stew
Then he spoke to Mufiles and off they went
Back in the woods behind the tent,
The cat ahead as the Princes guide,
In search of the place where rabbits hide.
Muffles soon found the white and gray
The very two that ran away.
He used his eyes, those eyse of blue,
And looked those rabbits through and through
Then turned about with Domino
And started back to the tent to show
The other BOYS what cat can do
When he looks at eyes with eyes of blue
For the white and gray hoped close behind
As if the cat controlled each mind.
THE Jap was ordered to prepare the two
And get them ready for the stew,
While Dinkey grinned all round each check
And kept at work, but he didn't speak
The Prince and Dutchv lay down to rest
While the Jap and Dinkey did their best
To prepare each dish in an extra way
To please Prince Domino that day.
And this they did, for the meal that night
Was cooked for royal appetite;
And late that night before they went to bed
Prince Domino to Dinkey said:
Your dinner, Captain, was simply great
| don't remember when | ate
Such a hearty meal as that to-day.
If YOU keep il up I'll raise your pay"
The Captain laughed and said that he
Didn't know yer much bout cookery,
But dat ere Jap he know his biz;
He Just a wonder, sure he IS"
THE following day a farmer came
To make complaint about killing game,
And about building fires so near his fence
And other things; just all pretense
To get a chance to have chat
With Prince Domino about his cat.
This crustv farmer some talk had heard
Which to his mind had seemed absurd;
Il hear" he said to Prince Domino,
That YOU are running a Gypsy show
And telling fortunes, and that your cat
Can see right through a fellows hat;
Can read nv thought; make me obey
The commands you give; each word YOU say
Now. Mr. Prince, if that's your name,
I've called around to learn your game,
The Washington herald., 1910-02-06

THEY had found the Jap up in tree
Where he had climbed to the top to see
The Gypsy camp; he had lost his way
In the tree he stuck and had to stay,
For limb had broken and caught him tight,
Hanging in air like balloon or kite.
MuffleS had led them to the tree
And the Prince and Dutchy set him free.
Der-rabbits, Prince, we thought we had,
We haven't got, said Dinkey Dadd
"Dey seem so glad Wit me to be
Dis pickaninny set EN- free.
Den when de fire got good and h-hot
De gray one he Hook in de pot
The Washington herald., 1910-02-06

THE rabbits played around the pot
Till the dinner fire got good and hot,
Then looked at Dinkey as if to say
This place is warm for US to-day;
But since we don't like rabbit stew
Wen be excused and say "Adieu'
Then off they ran, the gray and white,
And in a minute were out Of sight;
While Dinkey trembling now with fear
Saw the Prince and Mufles coming near,
And Dutchy too, not far behind,
And the little Jap they went to find.
The Washington herald., 1910-02-06

Our camping place and all around
This brook and hill is public ground;
And, Mr.. Farmer, if you're wise
You'll take off your hat and apologize
The farmers face grew crimson red;
He stamped his foot and shook his head,
And said, I'll show you and your cat
That YOU can't talk to me like that"
But Muf1es closed the interview,
For with one look from his eyes of blue
That farmer said 10 Domino,
Take away your cat and let me 60"
But Mufles' face seemed calm and wise
AS he looked into that farmers eyes;
While Captain Dinkey and the little Jap
Were both much frightened at the scrap,
And Dutchy hiding behind a tree
Was peeping round the edge to see;
But Domino showed royal grit
And didn't scare or bulge a bit
But Mufies' look was quite enough
To put to silence that farmer gruff,
For in half a minute and unaware
The farmer slept just standing there"

And if you fail at this Gypsy play
Your camp and cat will move to-day;
But if you win and the things are true
Which the farmer folk have heard of you,
We mean to gather, young and old,
Tonight to have our fortunes told"
THE Prince took Muffles on his arm
And said politely, eve mean no harm:
And this my cat I'm sure can do
Some fortune-telling tricks for you;
But we don't like the bOsSy way
In which you come to US to-day;

His Ono Brother.

One Of the most curious instances
Of longevity is found in Miss Louisa
Courtenay's 'Notes of an Octoge-
MARIAN" A witness in a viii case
in which Bellenden-Ker, the great
English conveyancer, was engaged
was asked if he had any brothers or
sisters. He replied that he had had
one brother who died $50 years ago.
The court expressed incredulity, and
documentary evidence was produced
in support of the statement. This
showed that the witness father, who
married first at the age of nineteen,
had a son who died in infancy. The
father married again at the age Of
seventy-fve and had a son who
lived to appear in the witness box
at the age Of ninety-four and made
the above startling statement.

AZ lndeterminate sentenee.

During lull in the program the
members of a feminine literary So
ciety were discussing the case of
three criminals who, though SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life,
yet stood chance under the law of
being pardoned after fifteen years
imprisonment.
The crime of these men had been
particularly atrocious, and one lady
of the party was most emphatic in
her denunciation of the criminals
and the law of the state which
opened an avenue for .eniency.

An old negro laundress is respon-
sible for the following cure for bad,
" scorched places caused by too hot
irons: a half pint of vinegar is put
on the stove in a porcelain lined
saucepan. To this are added the
juice of a large onion and two
ounces of fullers earth. The mix.
ture is boiled for FIVE minutes,
strained, cooled and bottled. In re.
moving the scorch a little of the
mixture is put on a clean white lin,

place until it disappears. Several
applications may be necessary. :

In the hand he holds:
One night after taps four men
gathered In tent to do away with
their pay. 1t was the night of pay
day, and there was no convenient
place in which to spend their money
except over cards.
The game had gone on with vary
ing fortune here and there. It was
after midnight. The sentry was a
chum and had been told not to see
the light in the tent. At last a
jackpot was on the board and had
been "sweetened" until it was very
tempting. Every one was in it, and
it was worth before the open about
$50. When one of the PLAYERS
opened it, every one stayed and
drew cards.
The age had full house, the next
man four tens, the third man four
queens and the dealer four aces.
The opener threw a dollar into the
pot. The next man raised, and it
was raised and reraised until it was
beautiful to see.
At this point there was a scurry
of footsteps outside. The sentry
rushed in, grasped the lantern and
dashed it out, jerking and extin-
gushing it as he did 50. As he
disappeared he whispered hoarsely:
"oficer~
Instinetively four hands went out
in the darkness and spread them
selves over the pot, while four other
hands closely clutched FIVE cards

\'sHold on, fellows" whispered the
dealer. every one take his hand
off the table and keep it off until the
light comes back. Well Just sit
here and nurse our cards. My hand
is good enough to wait for"
"So's mine," said the others.
Then they waited. Slowly the
night passed, growing chillier and
more chill in its going. The sentry
was cursed, the officer was cursed,
but still they sat. At last the first
glimpse of gray appeared in the sky,
and as soon as it grew light enough
the four played their hands and
tumbled in for few minutes sleep
before the bugle called them out
again.-Exchange.

The most extraordinary of all lit
erary workmen was the French nov
elist Balzac. When engaged on a
novel be retired from all contact
with the world and saw no one but
his printer. He began his daily
task at 2 o'clock in the morning, his
desk brilliantly lighted with candles.
Clad in a black robe, he sat down
and worked away, drinking great
cups of black coffee as a stinulant.
No matter how much daylight there
was on the outside, none Of it was
permitted to enter his room. When
thoroughly exhausted he would re-
tire for refreshment and sleep and
the next morning at 2 o'clock would
again seat himself at his desk. Thus
for weeks and sometimes for months
he would go on until his work was
completed. Then he would retire
to the country or take a journey
for recuperation and rest.

OLD BOARDING PLACES.
Secret Drawers and Hidden Nooks In
Which Money Was Stored.

Secret Drawers and Hidden Nooks In
Which Money Was Stored.
1t was the common opinion of
writers on economics in the seven
tenth century that much currency
was hidden in ceilings, behind
wainscots and in secret drawers.
Hogarth in his print of ''The In
heritance," forming one of the set
of 1.-THE Rake's Progress has de-
picted shower of coins falling from
the ceiling of the room where a
workman had accidentally disturbed
the molding. Old cabinets and sec
retaries of any size have usually one
or two secret drawers or cupboards,
often most ingeniously contrived.
1t Is surprising how well these Sc
cret corners elude detection, even
when their existence may be ex-
pected or inferred. Some years ago
the wife of a Kentish laborer was
breaking up an old chest of drawers
when she discovered a secret com
partment nearly filed with gold
coins of the reigns of William III.
and George Il. The chest had been
purchased for few shillings about
twenty years previously, and the
fact that this little store of coins
had not been discovered earlier was
all the more strange, because in all
probability the drawers had been
several times repaired.
a curious list of hiding places for
money is afforded by two old books
of memoranda and receipts relating
to the Fulham Pottery works in
1893 and 1898. There are 24O
guineas in a Wooden box in a hole
under the fireplace in the garrett.
There are AGO more in two covered
receptacles under the fireplace in
the old laboratory. Behind the
door of the little parlor there is a
can containing some milled money.
Two boxes full of money were
placed in two holes OF the great
furnace, from which they were to be
drawn by a long, crooked iron
standing behind the kitchen door.
In all ten or dozen such hiding
places are named, and the money
was variously contained in boxes,
bags, cans, pots and purses.
There can be little doubt that the
practice of boarding money and val
tables in private houses gave great
encouragement to crime. A glance
through the pages of early volumes
of the Annual Register, largely de-
voted to the chronicles Of crime, re-
veals number of apparently hasti-
ly planned robberies, which resulted
in rich hauls out of all proportion
to the occasion. Some thieves get
in at the garnet window of house
in Devonshire square and carry off
from the owners bedchamber an
iron chest containing cash, notes
and other valuables to the amount
of 10000. Two men enter the Gus
tom house at Limerick and in few
minutes carry of cash to the
amount of about 1850. Such is
the character of the crimes which
we're then most successful bold,
quick bid for the treasure chest,
which was almost certain to be well
stocked and very often convenient
for removal by two or three thieves
acting in concert.-W. a. Atkinson
in Chambers Journal.
