HIS NICKEL WELL INVESTED
Workers Bachelor Once Helped a
Newsboy and Reaped His Reward
Nine Years Later.

Excuse me, mister" said a boy OF
Yonkers street corner, "but I've lost
my money and can't buy my papers
If had nickel l could get a start
and make so cents before bedtime"
Although the boys clothing was
soiled and tattered, his bright eyes
and regular features made a good i'm
preston on the observant middle aged
bachelor. But he was skeptical.
"If give you a nickel" said he
you'd only spend it, probably in a
foolish way. I've had experience with
boys"
'Tn spend 1t all right, mister, but
the money would go for papers"
The man gave the boy nickel.
Nov, I'm only lending you five
cents" was his warning as the boy
hurried away.
"All right boss" cried the boy. IN
give It back to you tomorrow on this
corner at six o'clock"
"I'n be here" said the man.
So they separated. Both kept their
promises. The nickel was returned.
That was nine years ago. Now the
boy is a married man Of twenty-four
and he has good position in Yonkers.
Their conditions are reversed. Owing
to illness and injury the bachelor has
been out of employment for six
months. Long ago his savings were
exhausted. Long ago he would have
been in want if friend had not found
where he lived. This friend also found
that the bachelor was in debt and pro-
vided medical assistance. More than
that, he paid the bachelors board for
Is consecutive weeks and he has not
stopped yet.
what are you doing that for?" his
wife inquired.
Reason enough" he replied. When
I was a newsboy that man helped me
when l was broke Now, II necessary,
I'll go broke for him."
The friend was the former newsboy.

The Treaeherous Hens.

A story which was doubtless invent
ed to illustrate the thoroughness OF
Prussian rule wherever the Prussian
black and white has established itself,
is repeated in E. A. Brayley Hodgetts
book. THE House of Hohenzollern.
The strict devotion to duty OF the
Prussian disciplinarian has not al
ways contributed to his popularity.
The estimation in which he has gen.
orally been held by conquered neigh
bors is illustrated in the famous joke
about tho Hanoverian farmers wife
after the annexation-and the inquis-
itoriaI Prussian gendarme.
Well" the gendarme is made to
say, in truly terrible admonitory ac-
cents, ARE you all good Prussians
here? No Hanoverian nonsense, chi?
oh the trembling old woman re-
plies, I'VE are all good Pruussians
now-all except the hens"
The hens? What do you meanT
roars the gendarme. smiling hidden

"Ah," says the old country wife,

ian eggs, always white and yellow.

white Prussian eggs."-Youth's Com

We Are Open Evenings
Old Italian Test.

An old Italian test is to put sill
yer coin in the boiling pot OF mush-
rooms, and IL the silver turns black
it means poison. There is no safe
rule to tell the harmless fungi. Some
Of the deadliest are Of common growth.
Another very curious thing is that
wholesome mushrooms are liable to
absorb poisons from the place where
they grow-such poisons as paris
green, manure poison, or rotting meat
poison. Perhaps there has been no
greater piece of exaggeration worked
off on the public than long bow shots
on the worlds riches in mushrooms.
Fungi are not easily digested-this is
due to their cellulose or woody frame
work and to shrinkage and hardening
In cooking. On this account the pain
which they so often cause is often mis-
taken for poison, and the doctor is
called whip and spur to relieve mere
mushroom indigestion.

Don't Cuff a Child.

Don't box a naughy child's ears.
Don't allow any provocation to tempt
you to strike a child on the head" is
the injunction contained in an article
on skulls issued by the international
Hygiene Exposition at Dresden. Cor
poral punishment of any kind, says
the writer, is wrong, but when the
head is the point of contact between
the angry parent and the child the
former may easily become a murderer.
in a collection of skulls at the exposi-
ton, lent by the Wurzburg university,
there are many of children as well as
adults which show that the abnor-
mally thin skull is not unusually
found, even in otherwise normal hui
man beings, and the causes of death,
which are stated on cards attached
TO the skulls, are intended to serve as
warnings to parents, teachers and
guardians.

The Exemplary pharmacosnosIss.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, who is by all
odds the best-beloved expert in the
governments employ, was talking at
a luncheon at the New Willard in
Washington about the duties of a
pharmacognosist.
"a pharmacognosist's duties" he
said, ARE Just as difficult as the name
would lead you to expect. There are
few pharmacognosists of DIR. H. II.
Rushby's ability, because there are
few men willing to toll and toll for
years for sciences sake"
A smile spread over DR.. Wiley's
smooth-shaven, intelligent and humor-
GUS face, and he founded of his re
marks with this epigram:
Few indeed are willing to climb
the difficult tree Of knowledge. They
all want to reach UP, break or a few
fruity branches, and carry them
home"

TO GET AFTER HINES.
Further Prosecution of Lumber Inter-
ests Is Planned.

Washington, July 1S.-F'ollowing
closely on the criminal action against
the Retail Lumber Dealers association
Of the west and civil antitrust action
against the retailers Of the east, the
government now has determined upon
thorough inquiry into the methods
Of manufacturing and wholesaling
lumber.
The National Lumber Manufacturers
association of which Edward Hines. of
rector. probably will be one of the first
investigated.
It has been represented on behalf of
the retail lumber dealers who have been
under fire by the government that the
manufacturers were maintaining agree
ments to curtaii the manufacture of
lumber so as to increase the demand
and the prices; that there have been
attempts to monopolize the supply Of
certain kinds Of lumber in certain sec
lions of the country and that in some
sections a uniform price has been
maintained which has resulted in in
creasing the prices 20 per cent in the
last two years in the face of a de-
crsasing demand.
Attorney General Wickersham. it is
said, intends to push the investigation
of the retailing and Wholesaling meth
DDS, while the civil suit against the
eastern states Retail Lumber Dealers
association and the criminal indict-
lnents against IA secretaries of as
many retail associations of the west
are pending.
Twelve constituent organizations
which arc said to control largely the
manufacture of lumber from logs, com
nose the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' association. E. G. Griggs of
Tacoma, Wash, is president of the
association, r. II. VanSant of Ashland,
Ky. ]. A. Freeman of Tacoma, George
K, Smith of ST. Louis, and Leonard
Bronson Of Tacoma are its other Off
GERS. Lumbermen from ten western
and Southern states comprise its board
of directors and governors.
