She stopped and stared out into the

But the letter was tear-spotted, and
she tore it into strips and watched
them futter out into the storm. They
followed the car awhile, a flying pack
of haunting memories. She would not
write that letter. She had written
one, and Will would find it when he

morning at eight o'clock. ~.
Two men were seated in the smok-
ing car. One was about five and thir-
ty years of age; he might have been
an accountant or bank cashier, for he
had the alert air of one who is in the
deadly struggle of commercial life.
The other lolled heavily in his seat,
scanning the first man with furtive
persistence. Suddenly he leaned for
ward, a curious smile upon his mouth.
Aren't you the paying teller of the

A Buoy's Iona Voyage.

On Sept 13. 1911, there was picked
up on the beach at Cullivoe, Papastour,
in the north of Scotland. a life buoy,
battered and stained, bearing the in
scription, Passed by ]. Guthrie, San
Francisco. Cal. June l. 1905"
The vessel Stanley Dollar was wreck
ed off the west coast of Japan in Au-
gust. 1905, and the buoy, whose history
is bound up with that of the ship, must
have been floating in the ocean cur
rents for six years until it landed in
Scotland. Whether it went around the
Horn or through the northwest passage
or down by Australasia and around
the Cape of Good Hope into the Allan
tic WILL of course, always remain a
matter of doubt and conjecture. This
buoy is said to hold the worlds record
for drifting the longest distance. Ii

have been washed into many a strange
port before it was picked up on the

Place Names In Russia.

The Russian has not applied his
names without reason. In 1858. when
he founded the capital of the Amoor
province, he named it Biagovesch-
chensk. This means good news"-to
all save the proofreaders in the news
paper offices. Three years later he
founded the capital of Primorskaya
and gave it a name that plainly showed
what it was intended to be-Vladivo-
stok, ruler of the east Near the end
Of his great transcontinental railway
he made brand new city and called
it Dalny, 'farthest," a very appropri-
ate name for place $500 miles from
the starting point Of the road. A pet
ty clan of the Suchan family, spring
ing from the narrow, beautiful. but
savage glens southwest of Changbal-
shan, founded the Manchu dynasty.
which for more than 200 years ruled
China. They took the dynastic name
of MANU-. or Manchu, in their own
language meaning clear" To this the
Europeans have added a termination,
and we have Manchuria. the country
Of the Manchus. "-London Answers.

The Horsehair Trick.

Almost every day illustrations are
afforded Of the marvellous ingenuity of
the modern thief. Recently a couple
of rogues nearly succeeded in extract
ing a valuable tie pin from the cravat
of man sitting between them in a
music hall by means of an almost in
visible horsehair stretching from the
right hand of one thief to the left hand
of his accomplish. The thieves by 81
simultaneously raising their hands I'M
der the pretense of putting their pipes
or cigarettes into their mouths tried,
by pulling the horsehair taut, gradual
ly to lift the victims tie pin from its
place. In this particular instance the
trick was not successful, but 1t is
often worked with advantage. If the
pin falls to the ground unnoticed the
thieves take the earliest opportunity
of Selling it. or by a skillful manipu-
lation of the horsehair the article may
be made to slide down the almost in
visible line right into the hand of one
of the thieves.-London Tit-Bits.

His Shaky Memory.

The lawyers got tartar when, In a
recent trial in southern city, they
summoned to the stand an aged darby
who had been an eyewitness of a fight
that had occurred between a number
of persons.
Tell US what you know about this
fight said counsel when old Nose had
been placed upon the stand.
"Fight?' asked Nose. apparently
greatly surprised. What fght?"
You know very well what fight is
meant" said counsel. ''Tell us about
It,"
'T don't know nothin' about no fight"
insisted the witness. when was it?'
"See here, Noses" exclaimed the
lawyer; mo trifing-the fight day be-
fore yesterday. You know all about
it. Tell u.s.

Cheapest Hams Ever Sold.

Sometimes an error creeps into the
published announcement of big store,
due to the negligence Of the proofreader
or to the conpositor in the printing Of
fee of the paper. 1t is rarely funny In
its results, although it may make hu-
morous reading when first issued. One
day a department store in New York
advertised "Sugar-Cured Hams at &c a
h." Rather cheap, you say? Well, 100
odd persons thought so too, for that
was the number that asked for the ham

that the printed proof o. KID by the

Poetry and the Child.

Read poetry to the child. Read easy,
simple verse. read nonsense verse.
read real poems. read sometimes such
poems as "Thanatopsis" and bits of
paradise Lost" OF course the child
will not understand the thought, but
he will enjoy the sound. and he will
unconsciously learn the words. Poetry
was never meant to be read to oneself,
but always to be read aloud or recited
1t is harder than prose. The order or
the words is often like our everyday
speech. and the words themselves are
frequently different. Here especially
children need help. If they find it
they learn to love poetry, and there
are few things that so sweeten life as
q genuine love for poetry for its beau
ties and for the helpful lines that come
to ones mind in hard places.-Home
