bank directed and farmer. producing
milk of quality, has discovered that
the use of a cheap phonograph has
increased the producing value of his
herd of seventy blooded cows two
quarts each day. As the milk sells
to the exclusive set at IL cents a
quart. this makes his music worth
$1,000 year to the farm. He tried
the experiment on the theory that
music at milking time would make the
cows less Inclined to be nervous. He
was right. Bossy, under the soothing
influence, yielded all the milk she pos
seseed. Waltz music proved the most
satisfactory from the cow standpoint.

The Garden of the Stone Gods was
set in the midst Of high city. but so
high were the walls that surrounded
1t that it was cut off, from the sight
Of outsiders, and the noise Of traffic
came family to the ears of Rosa
mond, as she sat day after day by
the fountain working fairy webs OF
lace on a cushion, as she had been
taught in a convent far across the
seas
So many years had she dwelt In
the convent that she seemed less an
American girl than foreigner, and
now that she was buried here in this
strange old garden, she seemed to
live in dream life far removed from
that Of the girls, who, on the other
side of the walls, went back and
forth on gay modern quests of shop
ping and motoring, golfing and rid
ing.
Once an airship had whizzed over
head, and the beat of its motors had
come down to them family.
Rosamond's uncle had looked up
into the skies and had said, fiercely,
Can we never get away from mod
ern horrors?'
But Rosamond had looked up at
the big airship, sailing over their
heads like a huge silver dragonfly,
and then down at the impossible stone
gods which surrounded the fountain,
and had sighed.
Rosamond hated the stone gods,
and she yearned inexpressibly for the
life that other girls led.
One day outside the walls she
heard voice singing. 1t was mans
voice, strong and sweet, and the song
was love song.
In her quiet garden, Rosamond
had heard little of love. Her uncle
had never married; he hated women.
The song, as it foated out on the
spring air, seemed a call to Rosa
mond to come out and be free.
So she left her lace pillow and ran
to the end of the garden, and climbed
from the stone bench to the low

Proof Of the Man Shakespeare.

Proof Of the Man Shakespeare.
Sir Sidney Lee, the eminent Shake
spearean scholar, indorses the conclu-
sions of Ernest Law, who has endeav-
ored to prove that certain documents
in the public record office in London
relating to Shakespeare, which we're
long supposed to be impudent forg-
cries, are, after all, genuine. The
documents concern the production Of
some Of Shakespeare's plays at the
courts of Queen Elizabeth and King
James. Sir Sidney remarked in a
speech at the annual meeting of the
Shakespeare birthday trustees that
the fact that in these documents
Shakespeare is mentioned categorical

Paris Women in Strange Headgear

Paris Women in Strange Headgear.
It Is at such places as the Grand
Guignol that one sees quaint clothes.
I went one night this week and saw
some of the funniest headgear have
beheld anywhere.
One girl had a bonnet rather like
the sort of thing a knight of old would
have worn in a tournament. It was
made of gold metal in a chain raH
tern and 1t completely covered her
head right down to the nape of her
neck.
Another had a Mother Hubbard cap
trimmed with a wreath of scarlet
flowers; another wore high, pointed
hat of old brocade trimmed with fur
round the brim, and several wore
bands of beads bordered with deep
fringe, which hung all round the face
after the fashion of a lampshade.-

girls gave to mamma. a.
Mother is not an old lady. but the
girls thought it would be nice for her:
to have something to put her feet up
on and then think that as q sort Of
subsidiary idea they had a fancy that
it would look well in the house., Nv
II am not familiar with footstool,

it's Louis XIV. or Louis v. or what;
but know it's built of mahogany, is.
oblong in shape, upholstered in green,
has carved legs with claw feet and
that for it's size it is pretty solid
piece of furniture.
''On Christmas night when the girls
put that footstool under mammas feet
Isn't that lovely?' they said, and
mamma said it was perfectly beautiful
and she sat with her feet on it for the
rest of that evening. But she has
never used it since; she isn't foot

Then the girls began setting that

would appear to advantage and where
it would, by its presence, enhance,
the attractiveness Of our outfit. 1t
has been during this time, while the
girls were placing the footstool around
here and there to see how it would
look, that I have become best &C
quainted with it by stubbing my toes
against it.
For, you see, it was new to me-.
and then, with the girls forever shift
ing it around, really it seemed as 1t 1
couldn't 60 anywhere in those two
rooms without falling over that foot

Just now the girls have got that
footstool under the piano bench; they
are trying to see how it looks there.
The bench is of mahogany and it has
curved legs and claw feet, like the
footstool's, and in way the two
pieces of furniture do harmonize.

the girls strongly, and that there un-

Named After Literary Men.

NdUSV VbISV Literary "S0s
The death Of Alfred Tennyson Dick

chant for naming his children after
distinguished literary men and particu-
larly after his contemporaries.
His eldest son, born in 1887, he
christened after himself. Charles Cul-.

named simply Mary; the second
daughter, Kate Macready; the second
son, born in 1S41, Walter Landor; the
third, born In 1874, Francis jeffrey:
the fourth. Alfred Tenn5son; the fifth..
Sydney Smith; the sixth. Henry Field

who, like his namesake follows the
law. now survives. One wonders
somewhat why he passed over his
great friend, John Forster. and his
greatest contemporary, Thackeray.

HILDEBRAND FOUND THAT BIG LEAGUERS USE CURVES

when the season opened he was in ecstacies of delight He anticipated going through tue National league pitchers like a saw through wood.
 Victor Willis was the pitcher who opposed the Superbas the opening day In his prime it was Willis proud boast that he possessed the most bafling species of drop ball in existence, and he did.
 Hide was up in the first inning He set for a fast ball Willis wound up deliberately and speeded the ball for the plate. Hide uttered a harsh laugh.N The ball was sailing for the grandstand. With a sudden momen- tum that daZzled Hildebrand the ball swoOped suddenly down like a hawk and the catcher scoOped it of the ground. IL was a strike. Hide didn't know what to think Was it all a mistake? Again he stood up. and this time Willis pitched with a side arm sweep. HldebTand followed that ball keenly but it was so far out he started to dodge for fear it would hit him, and then a most astonishing thing occurred. The ball curved right past him into the Outstretched hands Of the catcher. Hide swung al the third ball before it reached the plate He was bewildered.
 During the course of the afternoon Hildeb-and managed to make one hit, though not without seeing everything Willis had.
 That night Hide sso down and pen ned a vary- sarcaSric hriaf f, tba bind hearted player who had given him the information. Played in one game and you're right. They don't throw curves up here. All they throw is cyclones"
