Origin of the Curfew.

A note by Ruskin Butterheld re
minds us that, although Shakespeare
speaks Of "the curfew bell" and MIL
ton Of "the far-Off curfew sound"
Chaucer more correctly refers to "cOr-
few tyne" as curfew was originally
an appliance for covering the fire.
There are examples still In existence,
for instance, in the Hastings (Eng.)
museum; they look like large tea
cosieS in metal. They served, as mod
ems use fireguards, to prevent sparks
setting the house on fire, and the house
wife heaped the embers together at
night and placed the curfew over them
to lessen the combustion, and in the
morning save the trouble Of lighting
the fire again.

even standing room would be at a
premium.
He banged up the receiver, and bel
lowed at the office boy to get Miss Ell
gin. When she stood meekly before
him he issued his orders abruptly.
'eWrite up those letters" he said,
"file those things, add up these re-
ports; straighten out here. There are
some telephone calls that l haven't
time for-then you can lock up. l
must be off, that Internal trolley will
make me late as it isl
Then he struggled into his fur coat
and started, lest the souffle be trifie
overdone, and Miss Elgin dropped her
tired hands in despair at the burden
he had slid on to her shoulders. 1t
meant work for her till eight or nine,
and this was Christmas eve.
At the corner where he took up his
stand for a car a newsboy accosted
him.
Paper, mister?'
mo" he said shortly.
The little fellow persisted.
"Paper, mister?'
The Great Man looked down with a
sharp retort on his lips, and the face
of the child arrested his attention, it
was so white and pinched; and the
eyes staring out Of it so big and ear
nest. He took out a quarter, and be-
cause a car was coming, waved aside
tho change In Snite of his hurry the
boys thanks struck strangely on his
ear.
"You'se got the heart Of the Christ
mas Child all right, mister"
The heart of the Christmas Child, for
a measly quarter, one of many thou
sands he could spare! The bitter
irony of it brought q smile to his
lips; smile that twisted his face into
a strange shape.
Alec met him at the door, and re-
moved his coat. Dinner was served

Monkey No Longer Boosted.

The monkey was forever blowing
about what man has accomplished.
'This descendant of mine he would
say, "is the most enlightened animal
on earth" He told of all that man
has done, and told it so often that the
other animals were sick of listening.
Finally some of them induced him to
go to a theater. After each act he
would say to the other animals:
"Those people are my descendants and
1 am very proud of them. None of the
balance of you can point with pride
to such descendants" At last a man
came on the stage alone. lie danced
on the floor; then he jumped up in the
air and danced; he sat down and
danced; he got himself in all kinds
of shapes; he danced things that no
one had ever danced before, and few
things that no one would ever dance
again. Before the man had finished
the monkey got up and left the house,
and from that day until this he has
never once mentioned his descendants.

When the Tonque Is Coated.

Time was when coated tongue was
associated only with impaired dlges-
tive organs, but science has now found
that many other things beside diges-
tive troubles may produce marked
changes in the appearance Of the
tongue. II the base of the skull ia
fractured, the tongue will acquire a
heavy coating This fact leads to the
belief that various disturbances of the
nerves affect the appearance of the
tongue. Therefore, IL your tongue is
furred, don't jump to the conclusion
that your stomach is upset. 1t is just
as likely that your nerves are upset by
overwork. eye-straln, lack of sleep or
the multitude of other causes that eff

and he sat down to it alone. His wife
was dead, and since Alice ran away
two years ago with poor clerk and he
had pronounced the sentence of exile
upon her, he had lived alone with his
servants.

were not right. He tn 1ght of poor

ones, when they opened the flaps of
the tiny envelopes he had guiltily
sealed. Around and around the room
seemed to echoe:
"You'se got the heart of the Christ
mas Child all right, mister" and he
laughed aloud
He pushed back his chair inpatient
ly and went into the library.
Great Scott! what is the matter
with me?" he said; my liver must be

He took up a cigar and a magazine,
but he could not read. From across

She broke off. The sound of music
came family into the room. With
arms about him, she drew him to the

travel for the purpose of killing
man, but Danny did not consider
it a hardship, for the man he was
tracking so mercilessly had killed Dan
nys brother, Jim, up in the Forty Mile
Diggings. True, according to the tes-
timony of eye-witnesses, Jim Donovan
had been the aggressor, and in killing
him, Lebonne, the big Canadian, had
acted only in self-defense. But Dan
ny cared not for that. In his blind
rage at the news that his brother had
been stricken down, his one thought
was for fitting retaliation, in which
sense of right and justice figured not
at all.
Lebonne had been acquitted at once
and had departed two months before
the news of the affair had reached
Danny's ears, consequently the track
ing Of him had been no easy matter
At little distance from the cabin
Danny halted his team and fed a
frozen fish to each of his dogs to in
sure quiet on their part. Then he left
them and approached the cabin alone.
He crept stealthily to the uncurtained
window and peered within. A man
sat beside a table. He was laughing
and talking with someone at the other
side of the room. Danny scrutinized
him carefully to avoid making an error.
But there was no MISLEADING him; he
answered to the description perfectly
Danny drew his revolver from it's
holster and cooked it, keeping well
back that the light streaming from the
