Edwin Aram The editor looked at
1t curiously. He had never believed
it 10 be a real name
II am sorry Edwin Aram did not
turn out TO be woman" he said, re-
gretfully; at would have been so much
more interesting

sively whether he Is In or not we have
him. II he's not In. we wait until he
comes. even If he doesn't come until
morning; we don't leave this place until
We have seen him
Very we'll" said the editor
The maid left them standing at the
top OF the stairs while she went to ask
II Mr. Aram was In, and whether he
would sec two gentlemen who did not
give their names because they were
strangers to him. The two stood silent
while they waited, eyeing each other
anxiously. and when the girl reopened
the door, nodded pleasantly, and said,
Eyes, Mr.. Aram IS in," they hurried
past her as though they feared that
he would disappear In mid-air, or float
away through the windows before they
could reach him.
And yet, when they stood at last face
to face with him, he bore a most dis
appointing air of everyday respect
ability. lie was tall thin young man,
with light hair and mustache and large
blue eyes. His back was towards the
window, so that MS face was in the
shadow, and he did not rise as they
entered Tho room IN which he sat

Into another tiny room, which, from
the number OF books in 1t, might have
been called a library. The rooms had a
well-to-do, even prosperous air but they
did not show any evidences Of a pro-
nounced taste on the part OF their owner
either In the way In which they were
furnished or In the decorations OF the
walls. \ little sirl OF about seven OF
eight years of age, who was standing be-
tween her fathers knees. with a hand on

The young man nodded. and the two

The child shook her head violently al

Destructive Music.

A member of the board of direct ors of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York tells story that he had from one of the mu- sicians attached to the orchestra there. It appears that a friend of the wife of the musician had during call on the latter inquired as to the husbands taste in musical mat ters. Among other things she wanted to know what operas the musician liked best to play.
 ''I don't know much about dot," " said the better half, who was at the time busily engaged in darning an old shirt, ''but I do know some t'ings. Votetfer he likes like not dos Wagner operas.

A Bodyauard of Giants.

The Prussian guards were origi- hated by Frederick l., whose anbi- ton it was to form royal body guard of giants. Every country was ransacked by his agents to sup ply recruits, and no head that tow cred above the crowd, even in the bazaars of Aleppo or Cairo, could escape the crimps of the Prussian king. The most extravagant sums were offered to men of exceptional inches, and an Irishman, more than seven feet high, who was picked up by the Prussian ambassador in Lon don, received bounty of q ,300.- London Mail.

FILIPINO "ENGLISH."
Strange Lingo In Current Use In Our
 Oriental Archipelago.

Orlentai Arch'pela9o.
 'Hola, amigo."
 "Komusto kayo?"
 "Porque were you hablaing with CSC senorita ?'
 "She wanted a job as lavandera."
 "Caunto?"
 s'Ten cents, conan, piece, so ] told her no kerry"
 'Have you had chow? Well, spera till I sign this chit and I'll take a paseo with you"
 The scene was a Manila restau- rant. The speakers were two Amer jeans. I had just arrived in the Philippines, and I wondered what manner of language they were talk ing. Later I learned that it was the current tongue, bearing the name of "English," and that the Americans had been saying some thing to this effect:
 "Hello, friend"
 "How are you?"
 "Whv were you speaking to that woman?"
 'She wanted a job as laundrcss."
 "For how much ?"
 "Five cents piece, so l told her I didn't want her."
 "Have you had lunch? We'll, vail till I sign this check and I'll take walk with you" This conversation is not in the least exaggerated. Any one in the Philippines will hear similar ones wherever Americans are gathered. He will wonder at first, then he will cease to notice, and finally he will talk the same lingo and not realize that he is doing so.
 In the above conversation there are eight perfectly good Spanish words (hola, amigo, porque, csc, scnorita, lavandcra, cuanto. paseo), two expressions incorrectly pro- nounccd emo kerry" for ''no que fro" and ''spera" for "espcra'), a Spanish verb with an English end ing (habla-ing), the Tagalog greet ing ''komusta kayo," two words cur rent throughout the far east (chow and chiN, and one word that exists nowhr' but in the Philippines (cona. .

Bread Must Be Wrapped Cool.

Many persons who are fond of freshly baked and warm bread ob- iect to the sanitary method followed by most bakers in wrapping and sealing all bread cold as protection against dust, flies, germs and filth while it is being conveyed from the baker to the consumer. Bread fresh from the oven, if wrapped while warm, becomes moist and clammy and of unpleasant flavor, and it is therefore necessary to al- low the loaf to cool thoroughly be- fore being wrapped. After some experiments the experts of the de- partment of agriculture have found that if cold wrapped loaf is un- wrapped and placed in the oven in medium heat for ten minutes it will be crisp without and tender within.

DOGS OF LABRADOR.
They Go Like the Wind and Are Tire
 less and Fearless,


 In Dr. Grenfcll's book he tells some interesting things concerning the Labrador dogs. The creatures are fed once day and are always hungry, and yet team will go for two or three days without food. Dr. Grenfell says that he has travelled seventy miles day with a half breed team of seven dogs and 250 pounds of baggage. "The great beauty of a dog team is that it seems to banish all conventionali- ties. You can go anywhere and everywhere with no roads, no hedges, no walls, no restriction but your own will, and that will with out rein or bridle you make your dogs will.
 Dogs can carry you up almost the stccpest snow slope and down again in safety. They do not slip or sink in, and if they fall over even high cliff in the winter they are very rarely hurt. They seem to under stand what you say and so form a better companion than horse. They are automobiles which need no handling of their machinery. They enjoy travelling almost more than their masters enjoy it. They learn to love you as only d dog will, and if it were not for their occa- sional outbreaks of wickedness they would make the best of companions. As it is, l know of no greater pleas urc possible than large, strong team, a good leader, brisk, bright spring day and a really long journey to go.
 "Our dogs know little or no fear and, unlike the wolves, will un- hesitatingly attack even the largest polar bcar," Dr. Grenfcll says again. "On one occasion a mans dogs, travelling along smooth sea ice, scented white bear and started off like the wind. They suddenly turned point and ran right into him, so that the traces tangled round the bear before the astonish- ed driver had time to unlash his gun. As soon as he could he cut the traces, but even in harness the dogs kept bruin at bay. Though the bear stood up to fight on his hind legs, the dogs managed to get in some good bites without being hurt.
 "On another occasion,' adds the doctor, a man brought mo d spe- cially valued dog that bear had squeezed. The bear had been sight ed some distance off on the ice tloc, and the dogs were slipped to hold him up for the hunter. By the time he arrived on the spot they had the bear practically killed. But two had been damaged by him, one clawcd and one squeezed"

One Sided Samples.

:. "My sample case is broken open on an average of about once a month," said a travelling salesman for shoe concern. ''so there must be lot of disappointed thieves. "You see, all my samples are for the right foot. Another of our sales men, who goes through the west, carries only lefts.'
 s "Then l must cause disappoint- meht too,'' added q glove salesman. "our men split up the sample pairs in the same way" New York Sun.

Painful Etiquette.

The royal court of France used to be great place for etiquette. Louis XIV. once caught severe cold owing to the fact that on his arising from his bed one cold morning the lord of the chamber, whose duty it was to hand him his shirt, happened to be absent. Not one of the numerous courtiers pres ent had the courage to transgress etiquette. by handing the garment to the shivering monarch.

Japanese and Their Gardens.

One phase of Japanese character is discussed in George H. Fitch's ''The Critic In the Orient" in sec tion on the Japanese sense of beau ty, more especially in connection with their gardens:
 Every Japanese, no matter how small and poor his house, has d gar den to which he may retire and sin vite his soul.' Here in the quiet of the evening the master of the house retircs and gives himself wholly to the contemplation of nature. He becomes for the time as a little child, and his soul is pleased with childish things.
