sores would spread from one place to

spond. BY that time he had glanced
over the second-class passenger list
and had picked out for his, own
large unoccupied stateroom.
Gabriel was one of the first at table
for the first meal of the voyage, and
kept up the record for several days.
He was a cheerful soul, and III his
search for congenial spirits acquired
considerable popularity in the sec
ond cabin.
For the first few days of the trip
the purser was visibly worried. Time
and again he wandered about the ship,
counting noses. One by one he call
ed the second-class passengers into .
private conference and quizzed them.
The last to be cross examined was
Gabriel. Every one else had been able
to point out their particular name on
the purser's list and show in other
ways that their passage had been hon.
orably contracted for.
You are rude, sir" snapped Gabriel
when the purser suggested that he
might have neglected to purchase his
passage. You are ridiculous, too,
and / must refuse to discuss this af-
fair with you"
Without delay the purser proceeded
to live up to the character given him
by Gabriel. He moved the young gen.
tleman from his comfortable state
room to the lazaret which Is the
ships prison. And then-but no!
1t is. too horrible; 1t is monstrousu,
the act of fiend-this rude, ridicu.
lous purser dug up from the hold an.
other who had started without the
equivalent Of a stowaway de luxe.
This person was Lucien Guiliermet
Swiss, who had worked with his
hands. He was dirty from his days
of intimate contact with the cargo
in the bowels of the ship, and not al
all debcnair And into the lazaret
they put Lucien Guilliermet!
Gabriel sent an indignant message
to the captain, saying that he was un
used to occupying the same sleeping
quarters with another, particularly
one such as his present roommate
But the pig of purser intercepted
the note.
They turned both Gabriel and tn.
Swiss, who confessed he wanted t.
work with his hands In the new worlC
so badly that he had stolen a perfect
ly good passage from La Campagnit
Trans-AtlantiQue over to the Ellis IL
land authorities.
And the mockery Of 1t is that thel
will probably let the horny-hAnded
plodding Swiss have his way, whilt
the most desirable Gabriel will return

GETTING RID OF MICE
LITTLE PESTS m A TRAP OF
THEIR OWN MAKING.
Expensive Patented snares Net IN u
With the Sugar Bag, to Which
Heussksepss Hereafter VIII
Pin All Her Faith.

Mice always bother the people who
DO light housekeeping more than the
ordinary householder. probably be-
cause the former is more apt to have
few mouse-tight reeeptaeles for food
Various traps have been tried by one
couple who indulge in light house
keeping in a three-room apartment
says the Philadelphia Record. Some
times, at large intervals, they man
aged to catch one Of the pests. Every
scheme of batting and setting traps
which they could find or invent was
tried and the mice continued to eat
everything they could get at falling
back on a diet Of clothes when every
bit Of food had been successfully
cached
The mice seemed too wise to try the
traps, 70 matter how fresh and well
toasted was the cheese and bacon
rind. The couple was almost in de-
spair, and had nearly decided upon
using poisons, to which. for sanitary
reasons, they had hesitated to resort.
The mice themselves, waxing over
greedy. fell into a trap Of their own
setting, and one has been caught
every day or two until now there are
only one or two left, but the happy
housekeepers have great hopes OF
catching them all.
One Of the few provisions which
had not been stored was the sugar
which is bought In a large, rectangu-
lar box, holding FIVE pounds. The
cover was slit little way at one end
and the sugar bowl filled by pouring
from this aperture The sugar was
left out, because It was thought that
mice did not possess a sweet tooth.
Then one day when a large quantity
of the boxful had been removed at
one time, the woman opened the
closet door, to stand frightened at
some scrambllng sounds she heard
She quickly located them In the box
Of sugar and realized what had hap
pened
The mice had discovered the sugar
and had been feeding from It, gaining
the tiny opening from a shelf beside
which the box stood, She had taker
out so much sugar that on its last
trip the mouse, in It's sudden fright
could not make the leap which woult
carry It through the small hole. The
woman quickly put a piece Of sugar
over the opening and then carried the
box to pail of water into which she
shook the mouse.
Several others have trapped them
selves in the same way and the wom
an declares that when they have eat
en- all the sugar she will rebait the
box with some more, and never nevel
spend any more money on paten
traps.

had sprinkled some bread crumbs over
the top and popped them into the
oven and baked them. Better even

In 1877. He left 1000 descendants.

devoting their energy to inventing and
exploiting new dishes and new ways
OF preparing old ones, there is posi-

that even in this day of enlighten-
ment many families move along in
well worn ruts. repeating every week,
day by day the same old program
with very slight variation. 1t Is no
wonder that the children lose their
appetite. and the husband ceases to
take any interest in meal time.
A common fault in housekeeping Is
TO repeat ad nauseum a favorite dish.
A young man once remarked that he
had never dared to praise any article
on the table for fear it would be serv-
ed henceforth for seven days in the
week. His fond mother, seeking to
please his taste, did not realize how
she was firing him. The most deli

charm with constant repetition. Only
bread and butter will stand the every
