A GOOD BOOK

Not a bit like ordinary love stories
is Molly Make-B Believe" any more
than Molly, the daintiest wisp of a
sprite put into a book in many a day
is like ordinary girls.
She writes love letters to order-just
a cool business arrangement at first
when Carl Stanton is miserably i'll
with rheumatism, and Cornelia, his
fiancee, has indifferently gone south
Cornelia, however, for all her beauty,
doesn't know how to write love letters;
Molly does-to perfection. How well
she does, makes the story-quite the
daintiest, cleverest, most original tale
of many year.
An extract from one of her letters:
Carl of Mine:
There's one thing I want to tell
you. When you go to buy my engage
ment ring-I don't want any! No! I'd
rather have two wedding rings instead
two perfectly plain gold wedding
rings And the ring for my passive
left hand 1 want inscribed, TO be a
sweetness more to be desired than
springl' and the ring for my active
right hand 1 want inscribed, His soul
to keep!' just that

Howell Abbott The Century Company,

JUST A LITTLE FAVOR

$50 you're a-goin' back to New York
tomorrow, eh?' said Uncle Eb Cobb to
the city boarder.
Eyes; got to go. My playtime has
come to an end. Got to go back and
go to work.
Eyes, 1 reckon Well, I wonder if
you'd be willin' to do me a little favor
when you git to New York"
Certainly, certainly. Glad to oblige
you. What can I do for you?"
"Well, 1 got a nephew there named
Jones. His mother was my sister. His
name is Ed Jones, an he Ives some
where there in New Yo.k, but I amt
got his address. Had it, but I don't
seem to be able to find it now. My
wife an me thought it would be nice
to send Ed an his wife a few things
right from the farm, an I was Won
derin if you would be willn' to take
him a pair o. ch ckens an dozen ears
O. corn an few of our fall pippins an
a dozen or two O. eggs an a green
tomater pie like he used to be so fond
of when he was a boy here in the
country. We'd like to send him a bottle
o. maple sirup an another O. ripe
gooseberry jam an little jar o. sweet
pickle an bottle o. ketchup such as

it'd be convenient for you to carry

A PUZZLE

THAT is a puzzle" said Robert w.
Chambers, the novelist, at dinner in
New York. "Yes, that is as much a

THE COLD STORAGE EGG

1t is given out as an item of horrible
import that today there are 4S000,000
eggs slowed away in the storage
houses of Omaha, and that, though
some of them are already half a year
old, they will be dumped on the mar
ket next winter, when prices are high,
and sold as strictly fresh" Well
suppose it is so, what will $4,000, 900
eggs, good, bad or Indifferent count

ton? If, on December 1 next, or on
some other day, half the people in the
United States eat an egg for break
fast, your 4SOOO,O00 are gone, and an
equivalent of the Omaha crop will
have disappeared from the surplus
food supply in the country. This sub
ject of storage eggs is not one for
chicken-hearted consideration. The
serious thing is likely to be the small
ness of the number held back. If it
We're not for the storage houses, not

MONEY IN BEGGING.
An Example Which Teaches to Re-
fuse Aims to Street Mendicants.

An Example Which Teaches to Re-
fuse Aims to Street Mendicants.
When a whining beggar stops you
on the street and pours a tale of woe
into your ears as a rule you are JUS
tilted in turning your head and call
ing a policeman. 1t is a fact that
the men and women who are really
deserving of aid seldom beg for it on
the streets. 1t is the professional
mendicant who makes the piteouS
public appeal and very often possess
es resources greater than those COM
handed by those of whom he solicits
aid Here is one of many examples
which so to bear out this statement:
A young lady who is serving in
New York city as an assistant proba-
ton officer gave money few days
ago to a wretchedly clad woman who
approached her on the street with
the statement that she had a house
ful OF hungry children and a hus-
band who had lost seven fingers in
an accident. A week later the young
Lady was again approached by the
woman and again she gave financial
assistance. A third time the beggar
accosted her, and this time she be-
gan an investigation with the pur-
pose of securing permanent aid for
the unfortunate. The usual result
followed.
The beggar proved to be Mrs. An
ma Rubin, wife of a thrifty mechanic
in ROseIle, n. j. The husband is
we'll and whole and has steady en-
ployment He and his wife own a
$4,000 home, with a COW and a flock
Of chickens. Each of their seven
children has a bank account. For 21
years the woman has crossed daily
to the metropolis for the purpose OF
begging. According to her story
when arraigned, her income from So
Letting aims ranged from $3.50 to
$40 a day. She was fined and
warned not to be caught begging
again.

THIRTY MILES OF POISON.
South Dakota Has a Stream That
Has Been Contaminated to
That Extent

South Dakota has a creek that
for 80 miles is deadly poison" said
Col. J. A. George of Deadwood to a
Washington Post reporter.
I'VE produce out there nearly ST.
100000 in gold every year Most
of it is saved by free milling and
the cynaide process, and it is this
latter that has caused the waters of
the creek to become poisonous. By
the free milling process from 5 to
706 per cent. of the gold is saved,
while by the cynaide process from
50 to 80 per cent. can be saved, and
then by taking up the cynaide solu-
ton and running it through pipes
several miles an additional saving
is had. A description of the Home
stake mills, some three miles above
DeadwoOd, explains the whole sys-
tenn of treating the ore. This mill
treats about 5000 tons of ore each
day. The ore is run through the
stamps and then over quicksilver,
and finally through a solution of
cynaide of potassium and zinc shaw
ings, but not all the gold is saved
by the cynaide, and the Homestake
has laid pipes to DeadwoOd, more
than three miles away.
After the final treatment of the
ore the cynaide is turned loose into
Whitewood creek. The waters of
this creek from a mile and a half
above DeadwOOd to the mouth are,
therefore, made unsafe for use. 1t
would seem at first that this is a
distinct disadvantage to the country
bordering the creek, but it has its
advantages. The creek is the only
outlet We have for our sewage, and
the cynaide neutralizes this sewage
and makes it healthy for the people
of Deadwood and other towns along
the creek OF course the farms on
this creek have been damaged by this
cyanide in the time of floods, be-
cause where the water runs over the
land the vegetation is killed, but the
HOmestake Mine not long ago adopt
ed a plan that whenever a farm is
damaged the owner is compensated.
In this way the mine owners have
removed cause for objection on the
part of the farmers, for as the Home
stake employs a great many people
the farmers find a ready market for
their products, and take no chance
of loss because of the attitude of the
mine people.
