HE WOUND UP THE RIBBON
New York Hotel Guest Found 1t Led
to Very Much Embarrassed
Young Woman.

A man who could not possibly break
in the middle was sauntering slowly
away from the cashiers window at
a hotel in New York when suddenly he
caught sight of something blue lying
on the floor. He stopped, but could
not get down far enough. A bellboy
saw what he was after and picked
up the end of piece of narrow rib
bon and gave 1t to him.
More than the usual number OF
chair warmers were sitting in the
lobby at the time, and soon they and
the clerks were watching the stout
man. He fingered the piece of rib.
bon in sort of preoccupied fashion
and soon found that it led down the
corridor. He did not know it, but at
the other end was a young woman.
AS she walked the ribbon seemed to
grow longer.
Finally the stout man turned and
began to roll up the ribbon Soon he
noticed where he was being led, and
. by the time he reached the elevator
he was able to offer a handful to the
woman who stood there. With very
red face and a hurried glance down
she grabbed 1t, and then the elevator
door mercifully opened and swallowed
her from the gaze of the tittering spec
tators.

Seven Young Buccaneers.

Seven boys from the National Nau-
tical school at Portishead, Somerset,
England, engaged in a remarkable
exploit
The boys had been on a cruise in
their training vessel Polly, and on
returning to headquarters took French
leave and rowed up the Severn several
miles in one of the ships boats. An
other boat set out in pursuit, and the
fugitives thereupon decided to take to
the land. They drove their boat on to
the shore at a place called Holes
mouth, and then plunged into the mud,
which is particularly soft. They pre-
sented a remarkable sight when they
reached the bank. Their experience
knocked the buccaneering spirit out
of them. and they submitted to cap
ture by their pursuers, who arrived
on the scene a quarter of an hour
later

GREAT MEN OF LIGHT HEART
Many Examples Show 1t Is Not Neces.

Frowning Brow.

James Russell Lowell is said to have
been of a very fun-loving disposition
Light-hearted jest and nonsense were
sprinkled plentifully through the long
life which was so filled with solid,
hard work and achievement
One day, when walking with
friend, they passed a large building
over the door of which was written:
Home for Incurable Children"
"Ah," said Lowell, with shake of
his head. that is where | shall have to
be sent one day"
Everybody knows of the immense
labors of David Livingstone in the in
hospitable part of Africa and of the
devotion of his noble wife. Does every.
body know that in the midst of their
lonely life they were often much of
the time as jolly as a pair of school
boys off on holiday? To such an ex.
tent did the spirit of mirth preside
over their counsels and undertakings
that sometimes Mr.. Livingstone would
say to his wife: Really, my dear, we
ought not to indulge in so many jokes.
We are getting too old; it is not be-
coming. We must be more staid."
Charles Kingsley was always bent
on introducing as much frolic and
merrymaking into his family life as
possible. He was proud to be able to
say: Il sometimes wonder whether
there is as much laughing done in any
home in England as at our parsonage"

INpoLENcE AND HOME.

Incidence is an enemy to home. Some
men are too lazy to provide decent con-
veniences at home. 1t is crime against
the happiness of the home for man to
neglect TO provide the little conveniences
that will add to the beauty and comfort
OF the home. Say. brother, take out that
old mildewed pillow and put in pane of
glass, il is too painful as il is Climb up
then and put The bricks on the chimney
where the storm of last winter blew them
off, Put carpet on the floor and a few
pictures on the shelves and give your
family paper or two to read. Study TO
make yourself useful, and to rob home of
its bleakness. bv providing things that
add 10 its comfort and brightness Make
the children feel that home is Paradise

Beauty is a dangerous gift. 1t is even

cHEERtuLNEss AND HEALTH.

People never break down in health so
long as they keep happy, joyous heart.
1t is the sad and Respondent heart that
tires, and whatever the load, we should
always keep a cheerful spirit within.
There are two ways oil meeting hard
experience. One is to struggle and re-
sist, refusing to Weld. The result OF this
the woundlng of the soul and intensliying
the hardness The other is quietly to
ascept the circumstances or restraints and
make the best of them by enduring all
cheerfuly. Those who live IN the first
way grow old IN the middle of life. Those
who take the other way keep young
and happy heart down to old age. and
often find the last days the best days and
old age the happiest time Of life

HOO pounds, and an abundant supply of cigars and cigarettes.
 In the distribution of rations on the sledging trips pr. Koenig proposes to adopt a new plan. Instead of carry ing the pemmican in large slabs which have to be cut up and divided among the party, including the dogs, he is taking small tins with rations already divided into individual DOT tions for each days travel. This will save much time and labor and also the loss incident to cutting up the pemmican in an intensely cold tenn perature. It will also greatly light en the task of feeding the dogs be- sides ensuring each animal his proper share. The dogs get only pemmican on these trips except when seals are caught. and they are given the flesh. The empty tins will be used after wards for building the sides of shelter nuts. Filled with snow, they afford excellent material for such purposes.
 In selecting the members of the expedition, Dr. Koenig has insisted they should be experienced ski-ers with knowledge of ice and snow and crevasses and capable of taking care of themselves in dangerous places. He attributes the success of the Amundsen expedition largely to the fact that the Norwegian sailors were all expert ski-ers.
 For the sledge journeys only dogs will he used. In motor sledges he has no faith at all since he considers them absolutely useless in a temper ature anything under thirty degrees below zero. The patrol, he says, can not possibly be kept from freezing and the motors cannot be made to go at all.

 T have the honor to return to you without my approval an ordinance providing for the regulation of the number of men to be employed in the police department
 My reasons for not approving said ordinance are as follows:
 Against Best Interests.
 Because l believe it is against the best interests of the city to reduce the efficiency of the department. We are not employing any more men than were employed by former ad ministrations, and for the past year ing Many business men of this city have protected against the action of the council in passing this ordinance and I would feel that l was negligent of my duty were to approve it.
 Former administrations were al lowed two clerks in the office of the chief of police and if they were nee essary then to the efficiency of tho department they are as much so now
 Entitled to Protection.
 Again it has always been neces- sary to have two guards with the chain gang. for at times during the day it is necessary for the guard to abseat himself from his post and tc leave the gang without a guard all the prisoners might escape.
