Della handed down the rest OF the

The great value of keeping accounts

Cure That Failed.

The story recently published in q
southern newspaper, to the effect that
an ignorant negress had given her
little girl a mixture of dogs blood
and powdered bone to cure her OF q
fever, recalls an Indian prescription
contained in an old volume entitled
primitive Superstitfons."
An Indian had been desperately
hurt in fight with grizzly bear,
and the medicine man prescribed a
mixture of rattlesnakes' heads, worn
out moccasins and chewing tobacco,
seasoned with pepper and bears
grease, of which the patient was to
drink a pint every half hour. He
was a brave man." says the story,
''but he died with the utmost expedi-
tion." The members of the tribe
agreed that the remedy was faultless,
and that death was due to the fact
that the medicine man had failed to
order that 1t should be administered
to the accompaniment Of a dance and
yell.

HAS A STEADY GRAFT
SMALL BOY TOOK PICTURE or
SISTER IN WORK ria.
Now She Has to Pay Him Is Cent,
for Print Each Time Her Best
Beau 10 TO Call, and
Youth Reioices.

Perhaps the orneriest, meanest
small boy extant lives In New York.
This boys sister, who is Of marriage
able age, gave him a cheap camera for
his birthday recently. The boy used
his camera for legitimate purposes for
few days, but that way OF using the
machine finally palled upon him and
he thought up scheme.
He waited until his sister got her
self rugged out for her share Of the
| work in the weekly housekeeping.
Then, unbeknownst to her, he took
a full-length snapshot of her just as
she WAS The young woman Is pretty
and decidedly winsome looking, but
this negative, taken of her by her
small brother, shows her standing
with a broom in her hand, clad In q
loose, voluminous, ornate calico wrap
per. with towel tied around her
head and with her curl-papered hair,
giving her the appearance of q beetle.
The boy developed the negative and
made a print of it. When he showed
1t to his sister she thought 1t was
rather funny, not suspecting the
edge" which the negative gave the
small boy over her.
Hes a-comin' tonight, amt he?"
said the small boy after showing his
sister the print.
HE? Who? Mind your own bust
| ness, kid" said the sister after the
| manner of sisters thus addressed by
younger brothers in such connections.
He's a-comin' tonight" repeated
the small boy. How much do you
give me for the picture of your"
Then she saw the connection.
why, you little incorrigible!" she
said, what do you"
Gimme quarter and / won't show
it to him." said the boy in business
| like tone.
And he stood pat Expostulations
and pleadings didn't go. He held out
| for his terms, which were % cents,
payable in advance, no more, no less.
She promptly tore 1t up and put 1t
| In the fire. But the boy still had the
| negative hidden away, and on the very
next occasion when his sisters young
man was due to call in the evening he
sprang another print from the mega
| tive upon her. He got another quar-
| ter for the surrender of this print, too.
| He knows good thing when he
| has got it, does this extraordinarily
mean, small boy, and he has been
flashing one of the prints from the
negative upon his sister every night
upon whcih her maybe youth is due
for a visit. She has offered him 81
for the negative, but the boy prefers
to draw interest instead Of sacrificing
his principal. and he retains posses
sion of the negative up to the hour
Of going to press.

Snug Bed for a Queen.

Instances of something strangely
like humor sometimes creep into the
British periodicals, in spite Of every
thing. Among the stories told by the
London papers Of the late DR.. Robin
son Duckworth, canon Of Westmin-
ster, is one of a somewhat uncourtier
ly remark which he made once when
showing Queen Victoria over West
minister abbey. When they came to
the spot where kings and queens lie,
Queen Victoria shivered a little and
said: II should not care to be buried
here-it seems so cold and damp"
Madam" replied Duckworth, Il as
sure you it Is perfectly dry. You
would be quite nice and snug"
1t strikes a mere American that the
queens part of this interview shows
more humor than the reverend can
on's. But Victoria's sense Of humor
was Teutonic.
