Her Diamond Necklace.

Brown is a very careful man. He is
superlatively careful So careful is he
that he has insured his insurance
money.
Now, Brown has a wife. Wives have
to be given birthday presents, and on
his wife's first birthday after their
marriage he gave her a beautiful dia-
mond necklace. This was not as reck-
less as you might think, for each stone
on the necklace represented a year Of
Mrs. Browns life, and he let every one
know that. And he arranged to give
Mrs. Brown a new diamond each
birthday. And he let the neighbors
know that too.
He has just missed giving his wife a
birthday present for the ninth success

and his wife will ask for another birth

How He Found the Pole.

In the summer of 1908, accompanied
only by my mother-in-law, l started
out in search of the Pole. | thought
1t best at this time not to make any
premature announcement of my inten-
tions, as my mother-in-law was not
feeling well and l was afraid that the
uotoriety might unnerve her.
We passed the winter in Greenland,
where my mother-in-law knitted me
some worsted neckties and pair OF
sealskin suspenders. In the dead OF
winter we started north.
We both felt very confident of win
ming as we had been practicing every
winter for years OF going sleighing in
an old-fashioned New England sleigh
Having survived that, the Pole had
no terrors for us.
On the 31st we reached the Pole.
The journey up was rather tiresome.
as my mOther-in-law insisted on wax
ing me up at 4 o'clock every morning
and reading family prayers.
She is there now.-Life.

The Festive Goldfish.

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
'the tablelands of the sea-" The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly as possible a dry, bracing at
mosphere. This pure air of the sub
marine tablelands gives to the Goldfish
that breadth of chest and depth of
lungs that we have so often noticed.
The glad, free smile Of the Goldfish Is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altitoodleum. The cor
respondent further says that the "cod-
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry"
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry
tree in search of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden branches
with chunks of coral have missed q
very fine sight The Goldfish when at
home rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut
toned as he does while loafing around
the grocery stores of the United States.

Nowadays every little thing is taken
into consideration by those who de-
sign kitchen utensils. Even the fact
that the edge of pie crust is easily
broken was considered by the Illinois
man who invented the pan and plate
litter shown above. The litter is made
of wire. There is long piece with Il
handle on one end and the other end
bent into two hooks which fasten over
one side Of the plate. Slidably mount
ed on this long piece is a jaw which
fits under the opposite side of the plate
and can be pushed up till a good firm
grip can be obtained on the whole af-
fair. The pan or plate can then be
handily carried about without fear of
burning the fingers if it is hot or dam
aging the contents.

Pottery and seereey.

In the royal manutartory Of pottery
at Nielsen, Saxony. the work was for
merly carried on with the utmost Sc
crecy to prevent the processes from
becoming known elsewhere. The es-
tablishment was complete fortress,
the portcullis of which was not raised
day or night, no stranger being per-
mitted to enter for any purpose what
ever. Every workman, even the chief
Inspector. was sworn to silence. This
Injunction was formally repeated every
month to the superior officers employ
ed, while the workmen had constantly
before their eyes in large letters the
warning motto, BE Secret Unto
Death" 1t was well known that any
person divulging the process would be
imprisoned for life In the castle of
Koenigstein. Even the king himself
when he took strangers of distinction
to visit the works was enjoined to Sc
crecy. One Of the foremen, however,
escaped and assisted in establishing a
mandatory in Vienna, from which
the secrets spread all over Germany.

WILLIAM Il. MOODY.

The first fee he got was 81, and the
client handed it to him without ever
giving him chance to fix the price.
To look over Mr.. Moody's varied
public services since he went to con-
gress in 1895 is to find easily the rea-
son for what at first might appear to
be favoritism. At the beginning of
his seven years in the house he won
the friendship of Speaker Thomas B.
Reed-Czar Reed. That gave him a
start little quicker, perhaps, than he
would have got 1t otherwise, but be-
fore long his associates realized that
his mastery of details in committee
work, his untiring energy and skill as
an orator would have put him in the
front rank anyway. Next he showed
his ability as secretary of the navy,
from May /, 1902, to July /, 1904, and
after that as attorney general from
July /, 1904, to Dec 16, 1906, when he
resigned to be appointed a supreme
court justice. -
Altogether there were few men Of
the Roosevelt period who We're more
constantly in the public eye. 1t was
a species Of publicity, too, that ap-
pealed not only to Moody's tempera-
mental chief, but to the general public.
because MoOdy's almost daily en-
frances into the limelight were invari-
ably connected with one OF another
Rooseveltian enterprise of the trust
batting order. Now it was the paper
trust, now the beef trust-always it
was some trust be was attacking or
about TO attack.
Many good stories are related Of the
retiring supreme court justice, among
which are the following:
On one occasion when an opponent
protested that he had been done an in
justice Mr.. Moody with quick courtesy
instructed the steHographers to furnish
an abstract of the speech 70 the pro
testing member, 50 that the latter
might have opportunity to mark for
expurgation any Objectionable para
graphs.
When a colleague at one time doubt
ed whether Mr.. Moody's constituents
would indorse a measure he was sup
porting he replied:
al was not sent here TO shake and
shiver like a dry leaf In a November
gale whenever a protest came from
home, but to exercise my intelligence
and to vote for measures according 70
how, In my best judgment they would
benefit or injure the people"

Moody,
The Dynamo
OF Work

K f the boy with aspirations would
follow in the footsteps of some
noted man and emulate his ex-
ample in reaching the top he
might well study the career of William
II. Moody, now retiring from the su-
preme court. Early in life he decided
to make a name for himself. and he
worked and studied night and day
with this end in view, never giving up,
although facing discouragements that
would have floored most men.
When a small boy Mr.. Moody drove
a milk wagon from his fathers farm
near Newbury. Mass, and while on the
road he studied at every opportunity.
He has said IN later years that he
started life with the habit of doing
something most of the time, and this
habit stood him in good stead when
he grew up. In Washington he was
recognized as one Of the most active
government officials from the time he
went there.
Young Moody finally left the pater-
nal farm to go TO Phillips academy, at
Andover, where he was graduated in
1872. He got his diploma at Harvard
university four years later and then
studied law, first at Harvard and later
in the Boston office of Richard II.
Dana. In the meanwhile he had earn
ed his first dollars by tutoring In his
senior year at the university.
Starting to practice his profession in
Haverhill, Mass, where he shared an
office with another young man, Mr..
Moody for the first few months, as he
expresses 1t, scarcely earned his salt.
II remember distinctly that my first
years compensation amounted to the
muniflcent sum of $685." he said in re-
counting the uphill work that faced
him in the opening of his legal career.

PORTER CHARLTON AND SCENE OF CRIME.
patches have given all the horrible de-
tails of the murder, little has been
written of the principals themselves.
Porter Charlton. who fed from Italy
after the crime and was finally cap
tured in America, is the son of Judge
Paul Charlton, solicitor general of the
war department and head of the bu-
reau of insular affairs. In 1906 he
was graduated from St Luke's school,
near Philadelphia. He was studiOus
and of a romantic turn of mind, loved
poetry and the beautiful.
After his graduation he got posi-
ton in the National City bank of New
York and went to that city from his
home in Washington. He was assign
ed to the foreign department of the
bank and was getting along finely in
his work, having been promoted sew
eral times. In New York he led re
firing life and spent the most of his
time in study when not at the bank
The murdered woman was formerly
Mrs. Nellie Neville H. Castle and a
daughter of Henry H. Scott, a coal
merchant of San Francisco, and q sis
ter of Captain Henry II. Scott of the
United States army. She had trouble
with her first husband and obtained a
divorce. Last year she came into
prominence in New York when she at
tempted to shoot William r. Craig, a
lawyer, at the Waldorf-Astoria. He
withdrew a complaint Of assault which
he had made against her.
On April 10 her friends in San Fran.
cisco received cards announcing her
marriage to Porter Charlton a few
days before. The marriage took place
in Wilmington, Del, and was not
made public until the couple reached
New York following the ceremony. II
was then announced that they intend

Cheese Keeps Longer.

consists of an automatic shield, adapt.
ed to close over both sides of a wedge
OF cheese or to fit into the opening Of
a cut round cheese. 1t is fitted with a
spring which causes it to keep always
pressed over the cut surface of the
cheese, thus preventing the air from
reaching 1t and drying it out. The
difference noticed between cheese
bought at one store and that obtained
at another is not always matter of
quality, but often a matter Of method
in preservation. The dealer who takes
proper care of his goods will find that
they keep fresh longer and the pro
tector shown in the cut will give him
invaluable help in this direction.

Comfort for Cows.

Cows that are given the most com
fort with feed and shelter are the ones
that produce the greatest profit. The

rest while she is chewing her cud. She
will lie down in her stall, whether 1t
is clean and comfortable or not. Plen-
ty of good bedding will make it com.

NE BUYS woMEN's GLOVES.

buyers would release a saleswoman.
Finally one came TO him.
II want a pair of tan gloves" he
said.
For yourselfT" the girl inquired.
Certainly" he said
gents gloves third counter to the
right" she announced.
81 know that" said the man, but
please wont you let me buy them
here? You see. I've got a small hand
and can get a much better fit In
women's gloves"
Certainly" said the salesgirl, and
she brought out gloves until she found
what he wanted.
I'VE never had a man buy his
gloves at this counter before" she
said in the intervals of trying on, ''but
I'm sure don't see why more men
don't buy women's gloves. You can do
ever so much better in the small sizes,
seven or under. Now, there you have
a perfect fitting glove and know they
don't keep them that small at the
gents counter here"
81 learned the trick a long while
ago, said the man as he waited for
his change. "a young woman sug-
gested it. She was a sensible girl,

would do a big business with men

Dairy Notes.

Cowpeas come next to alfalfa as a
dairy ration.
It's always better to have the sepa-
rator too big for the job.
The pure food law only allows 16
per cent. moisture in butter.
You are losing money il the milk
sours before all the cream rises.
The man who can keep his cows up
to the mark is born dairyman.
Five per cent. salt is enough for
butter. Most markets are better salts
fed with less.
Western dairymen are about agreed
that the fresh fall COW is the most
profitable.
