WOMAN WAS A DIME AHEAD
But She Felt the Least Bit Uncom.
Portable When She Thought Of
the Fat Man.

The woman slipped dime into the
glove on her left hand. She would be
at the subway in moment, and the
dime SO placed would facilitate mat
tiers. AS she passed the foot Of the
bridge extension by the city hall the
ring of coin as 1t struck tho pave
ment reached her ears. She saw a
dime rolling at her feet.
A fat man, subway bound, also heard
and saw II. Both stopped to pick il
up. She was first. His hand only

II beg your pardon" he said as he

for your courtesy" Then she hurried
downstairs.
Seated in the train, her gloved hand
involuntarily went up to her hair. A
dime dropped into her lap. Then she
understood.-Youth's Companion.

The most of the halibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing,
however, has nothing gamy or sport
ing about it. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such a way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed OF
the ocean. The lines are of great
length. Some of them are GO miles
long; when loaded with fish 1t takes
the steam engine on the vessel the
better part of day to wind them up.
They are divided into sections, each
section having a float or buoy that
rests on the surface, and Is marked
by q flag in the daytime and at night
by light. The line lies right on the
bed of the sea. Attached to 1t are
hundreds of hooks and each hook is
baited. The halibut swallows the bait
and is caught on the hook and held
there until the line is drawn up. These
fish always feed on or close to the bed
Of the ocean.-Christian Herald.

First Guide to Beauty.

By singing, and by singing only, a
little child Of FIVE may come in con.
tact with pure and perfect form Of
beauty, Thomas Whitney Surette
writes in the Atlantic. Not only that,
but the child can reproduce this
beauty entirely unaided, and in the
process Of doing SO its whole being
body, mind, heart and souls en-
gagged. The song, for the moment, is
the child. There Is no possible reali.
cation Of the little personality COM
pared to this. Here, in sounds, is that
correlation Of impulses in which the
stars move; here is the world of order
and beauty in miniature; here is a
microcosm Of life; here is talisman
against the cold, unmeaning facts
which are driven into children's brains
to- jostle one another in unfriendly
companionship. Through this they
can feel beauty and order and Sc
quence which their minds are incapa-
BILE Of grasping. The Joy which q
child gets in reproducing beautiful
melodies is like no other experience
in life.

There are some people who attend
weddings with just as much enthu-
siasm as a baseball or tennis fan,
whether they are invited or not, and
seemingly enjoy the excitement Of the
moment and the attendant fuss and
feathers. There are said to be funeral
fans. too; people who attend funerals
merely out OF morbid curiosity. OF
course, the wedding fans are most in
evidence at the big town weddings.
which mark the alliance between two
prominent and wealthy families, or the
marriage Of an American heiress to a
pennies duke. They are mostly wom-
en-, and they attend regularly all OF
the smart weddings. II they cannot
edge their way past the sexton who
takes the invitation cards, they con-
gregate around the street awning. and
are frequently Of such number as to
interfefe with the street pedestrians.

GET RID OF THE SQUEAKS
Annoying Noises That Are Frequent
Even In the Best-BulIt Houses
Can Be Stopped.

There are very few houses which
do not have floors that are always
squeaking as persons walk over them.
Such squeaking Is very annoying, and
many different suggestions have been
made to remedy the nuisance. but, Gu
riously enough, only few of the sug-
gestions have proven of any real
value.
Many persons think the squeaking is
caused by the flooring boards not be-
ing properly nailed. but in most cases
this is not the case at all.
The tongues and grooves of the mar
row boards do not always fit togeth-
er exactly tight, and q little pressure
on either side of the crack and be-
tween joints, where the boards are
nailed, will cause the boards to spring
slightly, causing the disagreeable
squeaking sounds.
The best remedy for squeaky floor
is to apply a little liquid glue to the
cracks. This can be done by dipping
a thin strip of metal in the glue and
inserting carefully in the crack at the
point from which the sound comes.
A knife blade can te used to APP
ply the glue Simply dip the point
In the glue and insert in the crack.
Move the blade about slightly to re-
move the glue and make it stick to the
flooring. where it will dry in short
time and stop the squeaking.

Edison's Philosophy.

i believe there is intelligence in all
matter. Why, IL you put rocks under
a microscope you will see their ele-
ments working like bacteria. A rock
has q lot Of intelligence. It shows
living movements. A piece of raw
silver shows 1t. Nothing dies. In.
telligence continues to exist. Our lit.
tie life Is rounded with sleep. Shake.
speare was right and we get q fore
taste Of 1t every night we have sound.
unconscious rest. That's all death 10.
Why fear? We don't know we're
dead. But that doesn't mean I don't
believe in Supreme intelligence. for
I do. Nemesis catches up with us on
earth. And you garner here and not
(only) in heaven or elsewhere your
harvest Of happiness or misery. You
can't beat It" and be happy. You
can't be crooked and feel the Joy of
being straight. A. Edison.
