 As black as the night. My two joined together, 'tis said. Will make a nice, comfortable bed. Sometimes 1t is big.
 Sometimes it is small; And it comes in such sizes
 As to suit one and all.

 Papa, why do people make holi- day of New Year? Is it day like Christmas or Sunday?"
 Papa told Birdie that New Years s day was only the first day of another year, that the world had a birthday. so to speak. Then the subject drop ped, and nothing more was said about New Year, for the supper bell rang and every one went to the dining room. Ned was full of the carnival, and wouldn't eat hardly bite of sup per. even though his mother urged him toAdo so. And Helen was greatly excited, and had no appetite. In fact. everything was in a state of excite ment that evening, and Birdie was not noticed particularly. Soon after sup per--at precisely half-past seven, Mrs. Agnew told Birdie it was time for her to be got ready for bed. You know lot of company is coming tonight,

 fened hands and red nose over the steam radiator, he went into the ad- joining room and found big ball of heavy twine. Then he got paper weight. and next seated himself at the stenographer's table and hurriedly typed off little note. It read:
 Please look up and see a prisoner in distress. Then call to the janitor of this building and tell him boy is locked into the office of Greville. and that the phone Is nor working" This note he folded and tied to the paper weight. which in turn was at- tached to the end of the long string.

bleak November day aboard the trim
little steel ship Astrea, post steam

cab. Il 5f7rsf any II J. .z.g...: <..s# 4 sesa<.
The journey up the coast was Almost
interesting one. The ship coasted the
browning and glazier planed rocks of
what Is, literally, an ironbound land,
! Tor the rocks of Norwegian mountains
for distance Of more than five hun
dred miles north and east from lati-
tude IS contain considerable pro-
portion of iron mineral; it is true that
IN most places this is too lean to be
now available for commercial use, but
Its totals are staggering to the mag
ton. With abundant water power at
hand, and with water transport in all
the markets Of the globe, who will
nave the hardihood to say that some
time these deposits may not be made
use Of? We passed the mouths of
fJords cut deep into the interior; gla- |
c1ers, brilliant in the sun, stretching
their widths across the distance We
saw the Norwegian codfshing indus
try, by which no less than fifty mil
lion cod are annually taken; and, lat
SVolvaer, we met hundreds Of vessels
OF the fishing fleets. These seas off
the Lofoten islands swarm with cod,
and Baedeker says that at times and
places hereabouts line thrown into
5O fathoms Of water will not reach bot
tom for the backs Of the fish. ,.'
1t Is the sea that supports northern
Norway; without it's harvest life would
be impossible, and the government so
fully recognizes this fact that it has
established complete telegraph and
communication between the
Lofotens and the mainland and upon
many OF the outlying islands has wire
less stations for communication be-
tween the fleets and the shore. Svol-

mains, its electric lights, it's sewers,
Its cables and it's well stocked shops. |

railway terminus in the world, and
threaded the island passages to Ham

cold and raw. How we'll I remember
that spent the day alternately freez

An aroma OF onions, increasing like a
crescendo from Bach, came TO its grand
and final crash with the Enthusiast, whose
corduroy waistcoat, greasy tie and hat OF a
Swiss yodler would have proclaimed him a
bohemian even without the fatuous and
triumphant smile with which he regarded
the world. He needed shave and rejoiced
therein almost as much as in his latent
and newly acquired genius His conversa-
ton included the largeness of life in gem
eral and the limited horizons OF all who
refused to eat with their fingers He was
noisy, blatant, indiscreet and supercilious
to his frlends-for the world, so he said,
was filled with rich reds and magcntas that
none save himself might behold.

Enthusiast, you who belong TO the Con-

DICKENS AT WORK.

For fourteen years Dickens made Broad

land London alone held a superior place
in his affections. He felt his powers al
their amplest when he was at the htue
channel coast town. Dickens has given the
best picture of himself at his summer rou-
tine in Broadstaiis: "In bay window In a
ne-pair sits. from o'clock 10 l, gentle
man with rather long hair and no neck
cloth who writes and grins, as II nc
thought he were very funny indeed. AT
he disappears, presently emerges from

of salmon colored porpolse, splashing about
In the ocean.
"After that he may be viewed In another
bav window on the ground floor. eating
strong luncheon; and after that. walking
n dozen miles or so, or lying on his oaeA

ers him unless they know he Is disposed
