phone number and ask for the person
to whom the card is addressed and
read the message, after which the
card would be delivered in the usual
way. The card would bear a special
stamp, costing cents, and would
have preference over other first-class

THE TWO MATCHES; A FABLE.

Robert Louis Stevenson.
NNE day there was traveller in
the woods of California, in the
dry season when. the trade
winds were blowing strong. He had
ridden a long way and ne was tired
and hungry and dismounted from his
horse to smoke a pipe. But when he
felt in his pocket he found but two
matches. He struck the first and it
would not light.
Here is a pretty state of things"
said the traveller, "dying for smoke,
only one match left, and that certain
to miss fire. Was there ever crea-
ture so unfortunate? And yet" he
thought, suppose l light this match
and smoke my pipe and shake out the

Under lock and key and studiously
guarded by two watchmen, little ma
chine, a spring motor-the working
model of what A. C. Rutzen, the in
ventor, of Cleveland, Ohio, says will
revolutionize the mechanical power
of the world, was safe from prying
eyes. Rutzen was due to arrive in
New York to close deal in seven
figures granting American rights for
its manufacture. According to Rut-
zen, he will close out to the West
inghous Electric company this week.
The invention is protected by patents
in 30 countries. The working model
of the spring motor is miniature af-
fair, generating one horsepower.
Sixteen high powered springs COM
pose the main body. Once started,
power from Is springs is given forth
while alternately one is rewound. A
simple lever starts or stops the mech
anism. The motor, according to its
inventor, will run until such time as
the parts become worn out. Individ-
ual power for motor cars, electric
light plants for private homes and
almost any purpose up to power for
factories is claimed by the inventor
for his discovery.

THE DEVILS SOLILOQUY.

One night as the devil sat musing alone
In the midst of his cozy, fire,
And trying to figure the difference in guilt
Tween a thief and all around liar
His memory turned to the scenes of his youth,
And his eyes filled with hot boiling tears,
So he took down his ledger and turned to page
Dated back about six thousand years.
81 suppose" he said, he glanced through the book
81 doing the best that l can,
For my business denotes continual increase
Ever since the creation of
I've crbbed a good harvest for six thousand years,
And should be content with the yield,
And give my opponent permission to have
The gleanings leave in the field
give gathered very diversified crop
Of merchants and lawyers galore;
I've bound politicians in bundles until
Every of my fingers is
I've fddlers, gamblers and insurance men,
I've murderers, forgers and liars,
And I've filled up the furnace with green Populists
Till they actually put out the fires
Ive railroad conductors and doctors to spare
Horse traders and preachers to spend
Republicans Democrats, Tories and Wings,
And two three newspaper
But there is class happy say,
Can gain entrance here
Their souls dirty l that they would
Demoralize hell in a year.
81 refer to that thing, neither human nor beast
The carrion of the world,
Who is happy unless he feast
On the wreck of innocent girl,
A million of years in my of rooms
His SANDER would atone
So give him match and advise him to start
select little hell of his own"
With his finger he lit asbestos cigar
And, placing his block the shelf,
He muttered, 81 may be bad man,
But I've got respect for myself

New York-The first "trouser trot-

not only made of serge, but are man

regular trousers. They go only to
the knees, where they are held by
elastic bands. Nine Bernard, a
