Mary,s Bad Habit.

Mary's room was on the sunny Side of the house. It should have been pretty for the view was pleasant. and the furnishings dainty. but the little girl untidy-
 Her bed, which was hastily made for her mother insisted upon Mary making her own bed, was all strewn with papers and books. The bureau was heaped with handkedchiefs and ribbons and several half-open drawers displayed the further tumult of Mary's recent search for various things. In fact the whole room had an insight ly appearance.
 What would my mother have done to me- said Mrs. Brown; then she thought of how her own sister was cured of the habit. I'll try it and see how it works" said Mrs. Brown to herself.
 Mary going to her room to find a book came down again saving: Moth CT. you've been working for me again. I think it's too bad"
 S'Yes," said her mother, but I think I can cure you" How" asked Mary, curiously.
 Never mind," said her mother, you will see"
 Next morning her mother brought an ugly looking barrel. Into this she put all the things that were misplac- ed in Marys room.
 That night Mary was going to party. She could not find her best dress. She looked into the barrel and there it was, all wrinkled and crumpled. She was ashamed of her self and called her mother, saying: Explain to the children why I can't come, mother. Do you think it will cure me ?'
 Yes said her mother. sadly. The barrel stood in Mary's room three weeks unoccupied and was finally taken away. Mary's bad habit was cured.

A Piece of Gold.

First of all let us begin with the gold mines in Africa, which produces the most gold in the world. I laid in a great, deep vein in central Africa. I laid there for about 100 years and one day I heard noise right near the place where I was lying. All of a sudden a great big rock fell down, and a man casle through a little pasSageway. The man wore a dark suit Then came some more men, I heard them say they were going to take me and my companions away to a Smelting center near Johannes burg. I was very sorry to leave my old home, but T could not help it.
 About a week later I was separated from the rock which chung to me for a long time. I was packed in a large leather box and sent to New orK to factory where they made me into a7 beautiful little ring. I was sold to a little girl who loved me and took good care of me.

alton on the New York, New Haven

Nest, N. Y, New York City and New
Haven were represented.
1t was declared, however, that the
sentiment for returning TO work seems
to be growing, Meanwhile additional
trains have been taken off by the New
Haven, making the number not oper-
ating 200. There is prospect of fur
ther curtailment Of service unless the
strikers return.
Full service was restored yesterday
on the Central New England Railroad
in the Poughkeepsie district The four
trains taken off Friday on account of
the shopmen's strike are again in op-
Grafton, although the embargo on
freight is still in force.
