Tom would not promise me to take
the apartment, neither that night nor
the next morning though | urged him
to do so. But the next night when he
came home to dinner he said:
"It's all over but the moving, Sue! =
"Really!"
"Yes, l telephoned the agents, and
mailed them the first month s rent"
''Oh. goodyl" l exclaimed, and
gave him resounding kiss.

conscience, not even when the thought
of my unpaid bills flashed across my
mind.
l seemed to have had the faculty
of dismissing unpleasant thoughts
anent ANYTHING which myself should
be blamed; and of worrying over non
essentials.
There was just one thing in eonnec-
tion with the move we were to make
which worried me little, and that was
telling Helen. Then too l hated TO
leave her.
A Confession.
Helen Thurston had been my first
acquaintance in New York, she had
invariably been kindness itself to me.
And in spite of her using me in the
way she did to make commissions for

WRONG WAY TO HANDLE STRIKES

Mayor Gill, of Seattle, may, he says forbid the
street company Of that city operating its cars with
strike breakers imported from Chicago seventeen of
whom it is alleged are bad gunmen
1t is not an ideal condition when any aggregation of
men can bring into state armed body of for the
purpose of enforcing its will Theoretically at least the
state OF Washington has entire control of such affairs
1t provides courts where every person have his rights
protected and his wrongs redressed. No one either
individual or company, has right to take the law into
his or its hands, and hire armed men to carry out it's
orders If strikers interfere with the operation of cars
the state should be strong enough protect the company
II strkebreakers take the law into their hands and in
re or kill anyone the state should see to it they are
punished to the limit of the law On top of this the per-
sons bringing armed into the state to take the place
OF the law and the courts should be punished still more
severely than the stkebreakers who shoot down some
citizen. strong mayor generally handle such cases.
and if they get beyond him strong governor soon
end them But and above all there is still strong
weapon and that is public sentiment In the Seattle
and Tacoma disputes the public which deeply inter-
ested In having the either the company
employees, apparently is in sympathy with the strikers
and against the arrogance of the managers of the
pany which refused to arbtrae the questions in dispute
That refusal puts it in the wrong and tends to make the
sentiment against it still stronger The wise course
for the company and its employees to together and
range some settlement. They will both save money and
will feel friendly afeIward than if the strike is
ended only after long and bitter fight 1t must end
sometime, why not now instead of later?

the war is all to blame. They've raised the

Animal Trainers Win Fortunes.

Since the beginning of time mankind has been amused by attribvting human faculties to animals, and wherever one of the lower creatures has shown signs of intelligence, public curiosity has run high. We have long been familiar with the. elephant which stands on ball and does similar feats; but the first elephant te accomplish these things was a seven-days' wonder. One of the most unique novelties ever offered to the public was the first batch of trained seals, brought out by Captain Woodward. Their ability to play mu- sical instruments, throw ball about, and so on, captyred the fancy of the nation and made their owner rich. Another novelty of this kind brought wealth to Leoni Clarke, who taught cat to go up in balloon and de- scend by a parachute.

The Mosquito Peril.

One of the greatest discoveries In the history of medicine was that of pr. Roland Ross, who, at Calcutta, in July, 1898, found that the spores of malaria parasites are concentrated in the salfvary gland of the mosquito. As Doctor Ross himself wrote, "The exact route of infection of this great dis ease, which annually stays it's mill lions of human beings and keeps whole continents in darkness, was revealed. These minute spores. enter the salivary gland of the mosquito and pass with its poisonous saliva directly into the blood of men. Never in our dream had we imagined SO wonderful tale as this."

Put hundreds of tons of cane sugar in casks in the hold of a vessel and let the ship steam through a bale of hot weather. The odor Is sickening. The sailors cannot get the sweet taste out of their mouths and crave vinegar or lemon juice-any- thing sour. They lose their appetites and are always glad when voyage on which the cargo Is sugar is over. Cof- fee Is as disagreeable as sugar, in ad- dition being very dangerous.

Scare Pests While Lyjno in Bet,.

During the mango season in India much injury is done to the fruit by night-birds, particularly the so-called flying foxes. and to keep these off with the minimum of inconvenience to themselves, the natives have invented an interesting contrivance. First of all they bedeck long bamboo pole plen- tifully with tin cans and other noise- producing utensils and fix this up among the branches of one of the fruit trees. To this, they tie cord reach ing down to the ground and the other end of this cord they tie around their own ankle. By this means, they can lie in bed and, while resting the rest of their body, can work the noise- maker with their legs.
