Today's Short Story
The WhaIeF's Daughter

CAPTAINs JACOB TARR, bound
 from Marthas Vineyard to the
 south Pacific ocean on whaling voyage. having recently lost his wife, resolved to take their only, child, a daughter barely seventeen years old, with hin1z in his ship Harpoon. Irene Tarr was as slovely girl in face, figure and disposition. Her father adored her.
 Captain Tarr had spent all his sailor life whaling on the Atlantic ocean, but now that the stock of whales was run ming low there he was obliged to turn his attention to a field with which he was not familiar. In looking about for a man who had had experience there he hit upon Frank Bristol;s a young fellow who had gone out before the mast six years before and made two voyages on the Pacific. Since he was but twenty. the captain gave him no higher berth than third mate, but he. was the only officer aboard the Harpoon that had had any ,considera- .ble experience in the Pacific ocean
 There is love that comes from long association and love that comes with single glance of eyes. The latter was the case with Frank Bristol and Irene Tarr.
 HAASdd 4AAS OoRSeA41A NF@-AnC0 NAC quarter deck oblivious to the fact that a sailor without a cent and with only a common school education had won his daughter, on whom every advantage had been lavished and who would in- herit $1OO,OO0 he had accumulated
 Captain Tarr was thus far well pleas ed with his voyage. He had on board a goodly supply of whale oil, and one feature he had somewhat dreaded-his inexperience as to wind and weather in the Pacific-had not troubled him at all.
 Talk about winds in particular wa ters,'' he said after being out a couple of months. My opinion is that man who has learned to sail a ship in one ocean should know how to sail her in any ocean. find no difficulty here.''
 That same evening Frank Bristol had the watch while Captain Tarr was pacing the deck. Suddenly the cap- tain was surprised to hear Bristol give the order:
 Man the weather bracesy'
 .tWhat do you mean by giving such an order as that, MT. BristoI7 Have you lost your senses7''
 "WInd comtng,'e' was the laconic re- ply.
 The captain walked to leeward and.

FANCY WAisTCoATs.

 TaiFored Street Suit.

They Make Smart Additions to the
 Tailored Street Suit.
 Waistcoats made of narrow striped pique are smart additions to the serge orr gabardine street suit. They are of ten embroidered in white cotton, some times scalloped about the edges.
 One of the ,smartest, however, is made without embroidery. The edges are bound with white braid. The waistcoat buttons high in the neck and down to the waist with big white crochet buttons. Two patch pockets, bound with the braid, finish it.
 Embroidered eponge waistceats Sare very effective, especially with white coat suits The embroidery is done in .colors that would have been called Bulgarian a year or two ago-in big. irregular designs. These waistcoats usually are made to button just above the waist, and, like those of pique, they carry patch pockets.

conservina Siren uth.

It is the endless round of imagined duties that most often causes the chronic overwork among women, says the Farm Journal. There is nothing to be dreaded like a thoroughly exhausted woman. No amount of personal grat- ever compensates for such a state of affairs. No constantly tired woman is capable of generous sympa- thy and ready help and companion ship. Therefore, keep rested up. Even a brief nap in the afternoon may be sufficient.

Tennis Shoes.

One of the mdst attractive shoes for tennis is made of white buckskin and tan leather combined. The tan is used at the toes and heels and sometimes it is introduced in the way of straps for decoration through the center of the shoe. But the toe and heel arrange ment of tan leather takes much of the soil that would otherwise fall on the defenseless buckskin,s and so the shoes are little trouble to keep clean.

 If an invisible closing is desired on a waist or dress the same method may be employed, using rustproof snaps, which are more desirable than hooks and eyes.

The PonuIar Sweater.

Tie sweater of this season is no woolly, clinging garment, made of white and colored worsted. It is made in various thin, silky fabrics there is one now used that looks like crape-and it hangs loosely below the waist Some times it is made with cutaway front. The sleeves are snug about the wrists, but the collors turn back comfortably from the neck.

cIeanina Tuhs.

It is said rust spots on bathtubs and basins and discolorations in toilet ba. sins and sinks may be removed by ap- plying muriatic acid with mop. As soon as the disco1oration is removed the acid should be thoroughly rinsed off with clear water. The acid works like magic; it is almost instantaneous in it's effect and the labor of scrubbing is saved.

Animal Lays Eggs.

And what do you think of an animal which lays eggs? Yes, there is one the duck billed platypus-and it lives in Australia. It is at home both in the water and on land. It's body, which is about eighteen inches in length. is GOV cred with soft fur; it has broadly web bed feet, short tail and a depressed, toothless, ducklike bill. Insects, crus- taceans and mollusks are its favorite articles of food. But the queerest thing about it is of course the fact that it lays eggs.

Buy a scale if you have none. It will pay for itself in a few months. A few reports of short weights from your kitchen mean a reform in the grocery or market, as even unserupn- lous tradesmen do not want a reputa- tion for dishonesty.
