Antiquities In Dancer,

Hidden away In the national mu
seums and libraries, and Zealously
guarded are a number OF priceless
manuscripts and books which, but for
a fortunate chance, might have been
lost to the world. The chief treas
ure of a museum at st. Petersburg is
the oldest known Greek manuscript OF
the New Testament, which was about
to be burned by the monks Of
Syrian monastery. when, by a lucky
chance, one Of the priests, struck with
the antiquity Of the manuscript. in

been thought valueless.

Rare Works Of Art Stolen.

twenty-five thousand dollars wor&S
of art were stolen from the church OF
San Mossimo, Padua, Italy, recently.
Early In the morning, the thieves
broke into the church and carried of
two magnificent paintings by Giovanni
Battista Tiepolo. The pictures hung
in the side chapels On either side OF
the high altar, and were wrenched
from their frames In such a hurry that
portions Of tho canvas were left on
the frames.

"Wanted-A Collaboration"

That all persons Of artistic or lit
erary aspirations are not as imprac-
teal as they are generally supposed
to be, is proved by the following
advertisement, which, says the Bos-
ton Herald, recently appeared in a
morning paper: Wanted-A collabo-
rator, by young lady playwright. The
play is already written; collaboration
to furnish board and bed until play
is produced.

To Save Money.

Economy, rightly understood, re-
quires careful study and consistent
action. A knowledge Of market prices
and money values are necessary for
an intelligent solution to the high
cost of living. But su h knowledge OF
itself does not suffice. Consistent &C
ton is equally. If not more important.
The 'head and heart" Of family must
be one in their efforts: They must
work in unison. -.

HAMLIN.

Horace W. Hamlin, for many years
a resident of this city, died at the
KOlterman home Just east of the
Hermann Hotel on Tuesday evening
Of this week. He had been in very
poor health for the past year or two
and Of late had been in very bad
condition and his death was not un-
expected. For many years he had
been employed by D. c. Luse in the
lightning rod business and was quite
well known all over this part of the
country and had many friends who
will regret to hear Of his death.
A son, Frank Eamlin, and son-in-
law, Grant Winnie, both of whom live
IN Hutchinson, came in Wednesday
and that evening the body was taken
to Arlington, Reno county, for bur-
ial beside the wife who had perceded
him to that better land over thirty
yeaS ago.

tune with an old deck of cards.
''The horrid, impudent thing!"
she said aloud. "And I never gave
him a word or a look to make
him think it,"
At 8 O'CLOCK Dulcie took a tin
box of crackers and a little pot
of raspberry jam out of her trunk
and had feast. She offered Gen.
Kitchener some jam on a cracker;
but he only looked at her as the
sphinx would have looked at a
butterfly-if there are butterflies
in the desert.
Don't eat it if you don't want
to-" said Dulcie. "And don't put
on so many airs and scold so with
your eyes. wonder IL you'd De
so superior and snippy If you had
to live on Sc a week"
1t was not a good sign for Dull
Gle to be rude to Gen. Kitchener.
And then she turned Benvenuto
Cellini face downward with a Sc
we're gesture. But that was not
inexcusable; for she had always
thought he was Henry VIII, and
she did not approve of him.
At half-past 9 Dulcie took a
last look at the pictures on the
dresser, turned out the light, and
skipped into bed. It's an awful
thing to go to bed with a good
night look at Gen Kitchener,
William Muldoon, the Duchess of
Marlborough and Benvenuto Gel
lini
This story really doesn't get
anywhere at all. The rest of it
comes later-sometime when Pig
gy asks Dulcie again to dine with
him, and she is feeling lonelier
than usual, and Gen. Kitchener
happens to be looking the otner
way.

and thread; but am in doubt. 1

of those joys that belong to wom-

Island and had ridden the hobby

Piggy needs but a word. When
the girls named him, an unde-
serving stigma was cast upon the
noble family of swine. The words
of-three-letters lesson in the old
blue spelling book begins with
Piggy's biography. He was fat;
he had the soul of rat, the hab-
it's of bat, and the magnanimity
of a cat. He wore ex-
pensive clothes; and was a con-
noisseur in starvation. He could
look at a shop girl and tell you
to an hour how long 1t had been
since she had eaten anything
more nourishing than marshmal-
lows and tea. He hung about the
shipping districts, and prowled
around in department stores with
his invitations to dinner. Men
who escort dogs upon the streets
at the end of string look down
upon him. He Is a type; I can
dwell upon him no longer; my
pen is not the kind intended for
him; am no carpenter.
At 10 minutes to Z Dulcie was

Dulcie forgot everything else
for moment except that she was
beautiful, and that life was about
to lift corner of its mysterious
veil for her to observe its won
ders. No gentleman had ever ask
ed her out before. Now she was
going for brief moment into the
glitter and exalted show.
The girls said that Piggy was
"spender." There would be a
grand dinner. and music, and
splendidly dressed ladies to look
at, and things to eat that strange
ly twisted the girls jaws when
they tried to tell about them No
doubt she would be asked out
again.
There was blue pongee suit
in a window that she knew-by
saving 20 cents week instead of
10, in-let's see-Oh, it would
run into years! But there was a
secondhand store in Seventh ave-

Somebody knocked at the door.
Dulcie opened it. The landlady
stood there with a spurious smile,
shifting for cooking by stolen gas.
"a gentleman's downstairs to
see you," she said. name Is Mr..

BY such epithet was Peggy

had to take him seriously.
Dulcie turned to the dresser to
get her handkerchief; and then
she stopped still. and bit her I'M

her mirror she had seen fairyland
and herself, princess, just awak-
ening from a long slumber. She
had forgotten one that was watch

eyes-the only one there was to
approve or condemn what she did.

Gen. Kitchener fixed his wonder

Dulcie turned like an automa-

duly. "Tell him I'm sick. or

After the door was closed and
locked, Dulcie fell upon her bed.

for 10 minutes. Gen. Kitchener
was her only friend. He was
Dulcie's ideal of a gallant knight.
He looked as IL he might have a
secret sorrow, and his wonderful
was dream, and she
was a little afraid of that stern
yet tender look In his eyes. She
used to have little fancies that he
