Wealth Rewards Woman who Emp.
ties an Old Chest.
Mrs. Emma Bailey died at New Lon
don, Conn, five months ago, leaving
comfortable home to her daughter,
Miss Alice Bailey, but she left little
else, SO far as anyone knew. Miss
Bailey is 81 years old and she looked
forward to spending the rest of her
life in the coy little home, keeping
the wolf from the door by sewing for
her more prosperous neighbors and
friends. One day Miss Bailey took
notion to go through an old cedar
chest that her father, Capt. William
Bailey, had carried to sea with him
when he was master Of whaling ships
many years ago. She took out all
the clothing, which had been kept
there away from the moths, and. at
the bottom of, the chest found that
$3,514 had been deposited. The money
was in the names of Mrs. Bailey and
the daughter, which Mrs. Bailey
named as trustee. Miss Bailey was
frightened when she discovered the
bank books. and she asked the bank
officials If she was liable to arrest for
having them. She was assured to the
contrary. and then she inquired as to
the proper procedure. A hurried cal
culation was made by Samuel NJ.
Hinckley, president of the Whaling
Bank, where the money was deposited,
and it was found that compound in
terest for twenty years had accrued
and the account Is now worth consid-
erably over $4,000. Miss Bailey's
mother had evidently forgotten all
about the savings Of the old whaler,

Handling Cows Gently.

Milking under quiet, favorable con-
ditions is quite important for the tai.
lowing reasons plainly set forth by
John Burroughs, the eminent natural.
ist. In speaking of the supposed power
Of cows to hold up their milk. SAYS
Mr.. Burroughs: Most farmers and
ountry people think that the giving
Town or holding up the milk by the
COW is voluntary act. In fact, they
fancy that the udder is vessel filled
with milk, and that the COW releases
Or withholds 1t Just as she chooses.
But the udder is q mandatory; 1t Ia
illed with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk. 81
This process is controlled by the
cows nervous system; when she Is ex-
cited or In any way disturbed, as by
a stranger, or by taking away her calf
Or any other cause, the process is ar
rested and the milk will not flow.
The nervous energy goes elsewhere.
The whole process is as Involuntary.
as is digestion in man. and is dis.
.turbed or arrested in about the same
way"
II Is well for those who are inclined
to use the milk stool on a COW when
she refuses to "let the milk down to

The way OF a Pre.Ident.

Tne way OF n Pres1uent.
A certain federal judge, in private
conversation, made the remark that
Mr.. Taft, If he had been President at
the time of thesCivil war, would have
saved the constitution and lost the
union. The remark was apt.
Forms and procedure loom large in
the mind of the present occupant Of
the White House. The effect of ju-
dicial experience is seen in many Of
the things which he does. The mental
processes of Mr.. Taft are very differ-
ent from those of either Lincoln or
Roosevelt The Pinchot episode we'll
illustrates this.
There can be no doubt that Presi-
dent Taft believes In the conservation
policies of the Roosevelt administra-
ton and that he desired to retain the
services of the chief of the bureau Of
forestry who held that position under
Roosevelt. Yet Pinchot has been dis.
charged by order of the President be.
cause situation was allowed to de.
velop under which the maintenance of
Presidential dignity was made to ap.
pear of more consequence than funda-
mental policies of great concern to
all the people, not only of the present
day, but of succeeding generations.

Steam Roller GOvernment.
Gentlemen who boast their stand

A Mushroom Lover.


Senator Depew, at a dinner in New
York, praised turkeys mushroom
stuffing.
These mushrooms he concluded.

CURED while was abroad in the au-
tumn. You know how, on an English
train, the passengers are locked in
small compartments, and there is an
emergency signal for them to pull in
case the train must be stopped. Well,
the signal was pulled one autumn day.
and the train, with great grinding of
brakes, came to sudden stop, and
guards and conductor, pale with hor-
ror, ran up and down the carriages to
see what terrible thing could have hap
pened. They found, in rearmost car
riage, an old woman leaning far out Of
the window, waving her arms and her
umbrella excitedly.
What's the matter, madam? Why
did you stop the train? they asked
her.
"'You fools, she answered, why
didn't you stop before? We've Just
passed two of the finest mushrooms
I've seen this many year."

His Needless Worry
4 SSSoo

Sam Bradley looked up from his
books and cast furtive glance to-
ward the telephone booth. All he
could see was mass of puffs bobbing
about fetchingly, small pink ear,
against which the receiver was held,
and demonstrating little back that
seemed never to be still for a second,
but instinctively Bradley knew that
the occupant of the booth was Miss
Burton and he felt sudden jealous
pang.
II wonder If she's talking to that
fellow of hers?" There was decided
tinge of bitterness in Bradley's
thought. II bet he's lazy skate.
Seems like he don't have nothin' to
do but lallygag half the time" He
strained his ears and was rewarded
by hearing the soft voice raised slight
ly.
All right. I'll be there at five after
s. Good-by." The speaker hung up
the receiver and came out of the tele-
phone booth, her little high heels
MISUNDERSTANDING across the uncar-
peted floor. She waved a gay little
hand in Bardley's direction and called
Hello. there" with apparently no
more definite intention than to evil
dence the fact that there was no hard
feeling. Then she clicked back to her
desk and presently her hands were
flashing over the keyboard, her rings
giving back joyous twinkle in re-
Spouse to the friendly advances of the
electric light.
Bradley raised his head again and
refreshed himself with long look at
her. To him the sight of her varie-
gated plumage was an unmitigated
pleasure. Others might scoff at her
weird combination of blues and greens
and puppies, or even more terrifying
things. but to him they were as salts
flying as the gorgeous coloring OF a
flower or of a tropical bird. He revel-
ed in them as he would have reveled
in the vividness of an old-fashioned
flower garden and was cheered and
invigorated thereby.
When she had been member of the
Office force month, although he had
exchanged probably. no more than a
dozen sentences with her, Bradley's
hitherto untouched heart was hers.
And here is where the tragedy be-
gan, for Miss Burton already had a
fellow" Every day about luncheon
time he called her up, and, while their
conversations were short. apparently
merely to make an appointment for
luncheon, or to meet and go home to-
gether, there was peculiarly inti-
mate tone to them that made Brad
leys heart leap and his pulses quicken
sickeningly when he heard the sharp
tap, tap. tap of the little heels as she
trotted over to the telephone booth.

day. the young man with his hand

How could any one be SO destitute of
proper feeling as to ask that beautiful
vision to sit in the gallery? He look
ed hastily away, almost overcome
with shame for the one who had done
this thing. Then suddenly a wave of
satisfaction swept over him.
Cheap skate" he gloated. "Takin'
lady like her up in the gallery!"
During the remainder of the even.
Ing he kept his eyes turned resolutcly
away from the couple, and at the end
Of the play he seized his coat and hat
and fed for the stairs. Surely she
should not be Inundated by the
knowledge that he had seen her.
The next morning, greatly to his
surprise, Miss Burton came tripping
over to Bradley's desk.

she gurgled. Il pretty near killed
