She said this without whining
and in tone so grave that the
promenader within the park
stopped.
Then the old woman began to re-
count her misfortunes. Poor peo-

benefit of the first conner. 1t is a
privilege which they have and
which, doubtless, solaces and con-
soles them.

The young woman opened her
mouth to respond. Shame reddened
her face. Had she not been think
lng just now of her own old age.
and had she not judged it in ad-
vance to be perfectly lamentable?
The mendicant interrupted her in
her burst Of pity. STRENGTHENING
up, smiling, with her countenance H.
Illuminated, she said:
But it is wrong to get discour-
aged, madam. For some days my
arm has been better. 1t is a good
time of the year and the rains no
longer drench me to the bone. And
to-day you have given me this
piece"
Then, with all her soul, she added
this startling little sentence:
For some time past God has
been good to me-"
The young woman had SLOWLY
bowed her head She raised it and
looked at the old mendicant. Then
1evershly rummaging in her bag
she emptied it of all the money if
contained--some 20-franc notes and
several pieces of silver.

Dropping them in the one gooc

lF' ALL the queer things that
have roamed the terrestrial
globe during the history of
man, there is one thing
queerer than all the rest-rarer, too
and that is genius. This is the con-
clusion reached by Alfred Sinclair
Clark, writing in recent number
of "Everybody's Magazine who
announces that not even the giraffe
is queerer than genius. In fact, he
believes that genius is the radium
of the mental world
what" asks Mr. Clark, "is the
queerest thing in the world?
'lt all depends upon the point of
view. The Germans thought nothing
could be queerer than the reluctance
into sthe house and then meekly stand
about to receive orders. Men regard
summer furs as queer: so do women
regard mems bleak, stiff collars. Green

the villagers are queer but they en-

about them you realize that whskers
are queer. Relatives often are. So
Is day-old calf. , Even queerer than
all these is a giraffe, which seems to
have grown on and on like a German
sentence without being able to stop.
But not even the giraffe is as queer
as genius.
Almost everything else that is
queer can he explained. Even the

BURSTING water PIPES
DAMAGES MUCH JEWELRY
Water Pipes On Second Floor at A,
Clooney Jewelry Store Burst and
Water Floods Front Window
Damaging Much Goods.

Watches, silverware and talking
machines in the front window at the
A. Clooney Jewelry Store in Second
street, were damaged considerably by
water Tuesday afternoon which ran
through the ceiling from the second
floor where pipe had burst.
Mr.. Clooney was working in the
rear of the store when he heard a
noise on the second floor but he paid
little attention to it. In a short time
he heard water running in the store
proper and going out front he found
water streaming from the ceiling
about the center of the store room.
He then noticed it running into the
front window and going forward he
found that the window was flooded.
The water was turned off at the build
ing switch but not before considerable
damage had been done.
Just how bad the jewelry is dam
aged is not known, however, the least
drop of water in the watches will dam
age them considerably. The jewelry
work bench in the front of the build
ing was also flooded and several
watches partly torn down were filled
with water.
