WHAT BECAME OF THE BUTTON
Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved
Her to Be True Daughter
of Eve.

Loie Fuller, the noted dancer, told
at a luncheon a story about her class
of dancing children.
Il gave the children a Christmas
party last year." she said, "and when
the pudding came on l said to them:
81 have put in this pudding a coin,
a little china doll and a button. Who
ever gets the coin will be rich.
Whoever gets the doll will be married
before the year is out. But whoever
gets the button will be an old maid
well, the pudding disappeared rap
idly, and the little girls soon found
the coin and the china doll. But the
button did not turn up. No one got
the button. This amazed me.
THAT night l said to my favorite
little girl, as we sat alone by the fire
in my ROOM:
az can't understand what became
of that button. l put it in the pudding
myself
"Ill tell you,' the little girl con-
fessed, turning rosy with confusion. L
dot the button. But l didn't want
everybody to laugh at me-tho l
thwallowed it."

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Immense Amount of Money Spent
Last Year in Fight Against
Tuberculosis.

A report issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis shows that
for the treatment of tuberculous pa
tients in sanatoria and hospitals S.
8 2,289.77 was expended during the
year 1909. The anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations spent $975,S89.56, the tubercu-
losis ~dispensaries and clinics $640,474,-
ga, and the various municipalities, for
special tuberculosis work, spent ST.
III, 967.53. The anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations distributed the most litera-
ture, spreading far and wide 100000
copies Of circulars, pamphlets and
printed matter for the purpose of edu-
eating the public about consumption.
The health departments of the differ
ent cities also distributed more than
1,056,00 copies, which, with the work
done by state departments Of health,
brings the number of pieces distribut-
ed during the year well over 10000
600. The largest number of patients
treated during the year was by the
dis%pensaries, where 61,5S6 patients
were given free treatment and advice.
The sanatoria and hospitals treated
37,758 patients, while anti-tuberculosis
associations assisted 16,96S.

Her Hiahness Smiles.

The trip from K~habarovka to Bla-
govestchensk occupied five days and
was u%neventful when compared with
the more exciting happenings that be-
fell CORTLAND Hardy and his fellow
passengers farther on. Still, two or
three things occurred worthy of
record; one, at least, that Hardy him
self regarded as epochal in his life.
He came into direct contact with the
Princess Romanovna and acquired a
nodding acquaintance with her. AS
this befell on the first day out, and as
she nodded to him once each day,
namely, in the morning, his good for
tune brought to him four mods and as
many very sweet smiles between Kha-
barovka and Blagovestchensk. It was
perhaps fortunate that he could not
talk to her, as she might have dis
couraged any advances. Anything of
this kind would have hurt his pride,
for the CORTLAND Hardys maintain
the fiction Of family superiority, and,
in their hearts, believe themselves
Just as good as anybody" as the old
song says of My Aunt Sally.
1t was during one of the long delays
caused by the necessity of taking on
wood, that Hardy's acquaintance with
the princess began. The Alexsay was
a stern-wheeler, drawing 81 feet Of
water, and she stopped five or six
times each "a hours for a fresh fuel
supply, the men bringing it, two and
two, on long bars down the steer
bank and across the springy plank tc
the deck.
Learning that there would be a stoI
of about three hours, Hardy went out
with one julius Smulders to take
long walk in the woods, to gather wilG
flowers and to catch a sight of one
of the cuckoos, that fill the forests o
Siberia with their strange cries, eX
acty as though millions of invisible
Swiss clocks were hanging among the
trees. On their return, the two mel
heard the sound of shooting.

ciety here. She's a stunning-looking
woman"
Women do not interest me" re-
piled Hardy. Il came here to work,
not to mingle in fashionable society,
and, anyhow,"-suddenly remembering
his changed f~ortunes-"it is not like
ly that a princess would become wild
ly enthusiastic over a storekeeper."
At the agents summons, a carriage
resembling a victoria came up, drawn
by two active, nervous little horses,
one between the shafts and wearing a
huge arch of wood yer his launches,
the other running free, between long,

first impression, as the train left
Vladivostok behind. vas a complete
REPUTATION of all preconceived notions.
There were nc convicts anywhere in
sight, no fields of ice or snow. In
stead, he was journeying on a pleas
ant summers day through a wildly
green prairie, wide as the eye could
reach, where fat cattle waded up to
their knees in lush grass, and yellow
dandelions, as large as tea saucers,
and fierce tiger-lilies, swayed and
nodded by the million in the balmy
breeze. He had expected to find some
thing different, somehow, in the as
pect Of Siberia itself, something SIMS
ter and forbidding. Yet this, save for
the greater lu%xuriance Of the vegeta-
ton and the %profusion and brilliancy
of the flowers. might have been a
stretch of Minnesota or Manitoba.
Weary at last of sitting, Hardy
went out into the long hall at one side
Of the car and walked up and down.
Here he found the Russian who spoke
French, also ~promenading, and
squeezed against the wall several
times to let him pass.
Pardon, monsieur" said this gen.
tleman as the train stopped, but we
remain here long enough to take
zakouska. Perhaps you feel the need
of refreshment? Do you know what
the zakouska is?'
"Oh, yes" replied Hardy, laughing,
Il know what zakouska is very we'll.
I should indeed like some"
Have you secured your compart-
ment on the Alexsay?" asked the Rus
sian.
NO." replied Hardy, why? Will
the boat be crowded."
Il hardly think So, but the Princess
Romanovna Is going on her, and 1t is
likely that all the best accommoda-
tions will have been reserved for her.
Fortunately, she does not seem to be
travelling with much Of a suite. Her
highDess will probably require two or
three cabins for herself, a couple for
her baggage, one for each Of her two
maids. and n for her man"
"And will she be given all this, even
If the rest Of us arc compelled to sleep
on the decks?"
Certainly" replied the Russian.
Her highness is-her highness.'
Hardy was about to declaim against
a government where the ~aristocracy
enjoyed such privileges, but, fortu-
nately, his French was not quite equal
to HIS indignation. and In the moment
Of hesitation he remembered Consul
Greener's warning.
And who n the world Is to Prin-
ceS Romanovnags he asked, with .

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
