A story is told of an eccentric
gentleman who, in spite of great
riches, would not spend cent if
he could possibly help it. He
was much annoyed one day by
his little grandson. who wanted
a cent to buy an orange of a ped
dler whom he lad seen in the
street.
After being asked several times
for the cent without replying,

out the answer to the boy:

an orange? Not likely. You

A Beecher Story.

Henry Ward Beecher delighted
in telling what he experienced
when he went into a Bowery
restaurant on one occasion and
heard the waiter give such orders
to the cooks as Ham and chicks, !"
"Slops and sinkers," etc.
Watch me confound that watt
er with an order which l believe
he won't abbreviate," remarked
Beecher at length as the waiter
approached. The he said: "Give
US poached eggs on toast for two,
with the yolks broken. E"
The waiter, who was equal to
the emergency, walked to the
end of the room.
Adam and Eve on a raft" he
yelled. Then he added, Wreck
'em."

The atrocities being committed
by Germans surpass anything in
history. They are cutting off
one hand of thousands of Belgian
boys and also committing an un-
mentionable operation upon them
to effect the future of that
nation. Girls are outraged, many
of them killed and others taken
to the German lines and mistreat-
ed in the most shameful manner,
These are not campaign lies. "

THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident of Sacrifice on the
Altar of Her country's Need.

One Of the touching incidents of
General Lyons march to Wilson creek
was that of a Tennessee mother bring
Ing her little boy to the captains tent
and Offering him for the service of his
country. The boys father had been
Killed in battle and the mother and
boy were alone in the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing of the
little chap, for he was scarcely thir-
teen years Of age, caught the eye or
the captain and he asked what the
boy could do. II can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself to his full
height. And he could as the fifer
soon found out as he played "The
Flowers Of Marlborough" most diff
ficult piece to follow with the drum.
MADAM, I'll take the boy" said the
captain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said:
Bring him back, captain" and to the
boy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, "God bless
you, my boy. You're all l have left,
but l give you to my country, and
drum right bravely for the boys in
blue" During the heavy fatiguing
marches from Rolla to Springfield it
was amusing to see the long-legged
fifer wading through the mud with our
little drummer hero mounted on his
back. During the fight at Wilson
creek the CHEEKY fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys in bat
tie. The fight led down into deep
ravlne and 1t was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst Of the
fray. That night the detail on guard
duty near the ravine thought he
heard family the sound Of drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
go in search Of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound Of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against a tree
and his faithful drum hanging on
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed: /:
"0h, corporal, am so glad to see you.
Give me a drink" and as he turned to
go to get him water, he pleaded: "Oh,
don't go and leave me. can't walk"
His little legs had been shot off at
the knees. Looking closer he discOv-
cred dead soldier lying in the grass,
but evidently before he died he had
put tourniquet about the stumps Of
the little legs. The brave lad was
carried into camp and given surgical
attention, but the brave little spirit
went out into the brightness and glory
of duty well done and country
served even unto death.

Care of Silk Stockings.

OF course you know that nothing,
however durable, will wear either well
or long If not cared for properly.
Silk stockings are no exception to this
rule. They demand proper care. First
and foremost, washing every time the
stocking is worn is almost imperative.
Precipitation tends to rot the fiber, con-
sequently the little holes that pop
out so Unexpectedly. Make a lather
from a mild white soap, swish" the
stockings about in 1t, rinse and iron
when quite damp. If the stocking is
only mercerized and you desire the
silky sheen, then rinse in water that
is bit soapy and press damp. And a
word about mending: Silk on cotton
and cotton on silk is easy to remember
and a deal more satisfactory In the
long run.

Potato CuIIs,

Among the many products which are
being successfully dried at present and
which otherwise would go to waste
are potato culls- that is, potatoes which
have been injured in digging and there
fore are below market standards. At
least 10 per cent of the potato crop
falls into this class. This percentage
is now being dried and converted into
potato -four.
A pound of dried mixed vegetables
made up Of carrots turnips, onions,
cabbage and potatoes, prepared espe-
cially for soup. is sufficient for sixty
or more adults. \ Uarrel Of the same
vegetables weighing 100 pounds pro
vides enough soup stock for nearly
5000 persons. The raw vegetables
which go to make up this mixture be-
fore drying fill thirty barrels and
weigh in the neighborhOod Of 1,5O0
pounds.-Popular Science Monthly.

Ourlosssa by Fire,

II one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States in a year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot sixty-fve feet wide, the highway
would extend from New York to Chi
cage, and the buildings would line it
on each side. Such is the calculation
Of the department Of the interior. Fur
thermore, person travelling this scene
Of desolation would pass In every thou
sand feet a ruin from which an injured
person has been taken. At every three
quarters Of a mile he would encounter
the remains Of a human being who
had been burned to death.
For years, it is estimated, the amount
of actual property annually consumed
by fire In this country reaches $780,
100000, and another sum Of about like
proportions is spent for the mainte-
nance Of fire departments, waterworks,
insurance premiums, ETC., to prevent
still greater losses.-Cleveland Plain

Mauicians of the Pen.

While W. W. Jacobs confesses that
he often sits. pen in hand, a whole
morning without putting a solitary
word on paper, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has written a story of 1900
words without once leaving his desk.
Even such a painstaking writer as the
late r. L. Stevenson had his spasms
of lightning work, in one Of which he
completed his famous "Jekyll and
Hyde story within seven days, and
Hall Game wrote the first and last
lines of his Life of Coleridge" in three
weeks. While Sir J. NJ. Barrie counts
500 or 600 words good days work.
81. G.. Wells has often written 10000
words between breakfast and bed, and
Mrs. L T. Meade has produced 10000
words in a busy day.
The late Andrew Lang, when in the
mood, has more than once written
5000 words of book between break
fast and late luncheon. and it Is said
that S. r. Crockett wrote the last half
of THE Stickit Minister" in forty

Mozart's Music,

A recent biographer says Of Mozart
that the most wonderful fact about
him was that lie directed his art to-
ward success without any sacrifice of
himself and his music was always
written with regard 10 its effect upon
the public. Somehow 1t does not lose
by this, and it says exactly what he
wishes it to say. In this he was helped
by his delicate perceptions, his shrewd-
ness and his sense of irony. He de-
spised his audience, but he held him
self in great esteem. He made no con-
cessions that he need blush for; he de-
ceived the public, but he guided it as
we'll. He gave the people the illusion
that they understood his ideas, while
as a matter of fact the applause that
greeted his works was excited only by
passages which were solely composed
for applause.
