the kind that breakfast cocoa comes

the cover on tightly and had CASH

That was her bank.
Summoning all the nurses and
surgeons by the house telephone,
and using a screw drives donated
by the jainitor, the clerk gravely
opened the little tin can.
Eyeing them carefully, the bare
footed little girl watched him pry
off the cover and dump out the
pennies. One by one he counted
them aloud.
"Ther's just 26. pennies here,
baby, he said, with a smile.

one of the nurses.

musingly.
The tiny barefoot babe toddled to
the big door, smiled back a cheer
full "Dood-by, foukses' and went
out, apparently taking all the Joy
and sunlight with her.
But moment later the door
swung open again and a curly
headed mob of hair came in.
"Doodness, I almost fordot my

One of the nurses took the rusty
cocoa tin out to her and as she
handed it to her, the baby asked.

"I'se glad," laughed the little
fairy. "Tause I feel sorry for all

As the the door swung behind !

a big lump that had swelled in his

'Mister I'm hungry"
 Martin Brill had just come out of the retail salesroom of a great baking es- tablishment. He had a large, but light package under his arm: two pounds of crackers. He had a small parcel in his coat pocket; ten cents worth of common, plebeian sausage.
 A man with his coat collar turned up and looking like the average per- son out of work had hailed him. Neith- CT had Martin an overcoat.
 "Why, I'm hungry, too," he replied in his usual bright, happy way. q don't live but a square from here. Maybe you're in want of a shelter, too, eh, my friendY
 q am just that" answered the stran- ger
 "Come along, then, if you're not too dainty I've just spent my last dime, but I've got ehough coal for the little stove to last till Saturday night. My room rent is paid. You look sober and respectable. Come along, you're well come"
 'You're a good man." said the stran- ger with unction. and they walked on together.
 "You see" rattled on Martin, as cheerily as if they were bound for some banquet, q have to buy close. Twenty cents-well, I went to butcher shop. I didn't order a pound Of sausage, but ten cents worth, and the butcher cut me off fair foot of the roll. I bought broken crackers, just as fresh as those baked with them, only a corner off here and there,

Flowers and Pictures.

Don't stand a vase of flowers in front of a picture; let it make it's own picture" was the advice of an interior decorator who counted bowl of blos- sons to be as decorative, against wall, as would be framed picture.
 "A vase of blooms - or branches should be as carefully composed and placed with as direct reference to it's background, as is the painting" she continued. "All too often a spray of flowers is thrust into the wrong vase (to bring out its beauty) and then stood up on a cabinet, shelf, or the top of piece of furniture, where It's outlines are entirely lost, by being shown against the broken lines of oth- CT objects. The lines and colors of flowers and towering branches are very beautiful, and they should be giv- en a simple, neutral background, where their full value may be dis played. A jar of roses, exquisite when placed against the soft gray of plain bit of wall, will lose all it's charm when stood on table with lamp of one color beside it, books of other col DTS behind it, and curtains of still oth- CT shades in close proximity.
 "Treat each bowl of bloom as a pie lure, and frame it with a harmonizing set of neighbors. leaving its back 1 ground clear to show 1t off to the full est advantage. e."-Christian Science Monitor.

Ruse That Won.

The subway crush was at least as bad as ever, if not a bit worse than usual, as two husky fellows stood dangling from straps.
 s'You don't look any too we'll" said one. "Just what was that illness?"
 "Ch," said the other, "he said it was smallpox, but that doesn't seem possi- ole, inasmuch as I was in bed only 12 days. Anyway, I feel less like a cured man than I'd like to. Today at the office I had all of the symptoms of my first attack"
 One by one the three men sitting within range of the voices got to their feet and sauntered toward the vesti- bule. The fbber and his friend sat down.-New York Herald.

 ''But how about yourself tomorrow@ suggested the stranger.
 ''Oh, I'll manage to pick up the days feed. There's snow to shovel, coal to carry in. wood to split I'll manage. Tell you, friend, I've seen dark times the last month, but-never say die! Come in.'
 Martin led his invited guest up dark stairway and lit lamp. The oom was sparsely, but cleanly fur nished. There was a double bed with coarse but warm blankets, table, chairs, small stove, and in this a fire was soon going"
 'Light housekeeping !" observed Mar tin, with ringing laugh. "Now then, set to-"
 Martin ate like the hearty, healthy man he was. The other barely nibbled at few fragments of the food. Mar tin observed this, but attributed It to a distaste for the coarse fare and said nothing. Then they sat chatting.
 You're pretty poor, aren't you?" observed Martins guest, who called himself Lester.
 "No, I am the richest man in the world P declared Martin, promptly and with vigor. i've got a girl to think of-wife, some day, for she's true and patient and has faith in me. I left the old town with a little capital six months ago. I lost in my first invest ment. All right. I'll keep straight on I must demonstrate; good behavior al- ways. strict attention to business. I'm rich in Elsa WardelPs love. It's a glory that irradiates my life"
 Martin shared his bed with Lester that night. The latter left him with warm expression of gratitude. Mar tin started out to earn his daily bread He came home at nightfall well satisfied with the two dollars he had earned assisting family to move. He treat. ed himself to an oyster stew on this particular occasion. He started in tc tidy up, to come across a small mem orandum book that had evidently faller from the coat of his guest of the eve ming previous. Martin opened f casually. He gave puzzled start.
 "Why. what's this?" he calculated 1T surprised way-"my name, my do ings, tab on me since I came to tn, city. Here's mystery-or is 1t mis chiefy"

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
CuRTAILEO BY WAR

NEW YORK, Dec 6-The war is
slowing down municipal improvements
throughout the country, declared May
or John McVicar, OFF Des Moines.
Iowa, before the eleventh annual con
yention of the Association of Life In
surance Presidents today. He urged
that life insurance companies give
special consideration to the financial
needs of American cities when peace
comes.
The entry of the United States into
the war has had a marked effect upon
our cities, said Mayor MacVicar.
"Our national government, through
its responsible heads, is constantly
sounding warnings to stop unneces-
sary improvements Municipal pro-
jccts under contract and under way
will be completed at least ia point
Where they can economically be dis
continued, and only such public works
as are of immediate and pressing ne
cessity will be undertaken.
And ofllowing the war, when the
available resources of the world will
be called upon to reclaim and rebuild
these European cities so ruthlessly
devastated, where viii the war
stricken nations turn for aid, if not
to America And it is not beyond
the possibilities that it will not alone
be Lille, Louvain, and the other cities
Of the Allies that will need America S
assistance, but perchance the Mace
donian call will come from that land
of efficiency and kultur for American
engineers and American capital to re
| claim, Berlin, Dusseldorf. and thos
other cities made famous by Germal
