morning train to Hazelmead, having
left Christmas at the Widow Moran's.
In the mill city he bought high
silk hat and a gold-headed cane and
new suit Of clothes and a boiled
shirt and a high collar and a red
necktie. 1t didn't matter to him that
the fashion and fit Of his garments
were not quite in keeping with the
silk hat and gold-headed cane. There
were three other items In the old
dream of Splendor-the mother, tire
prancing team. and the envious re-
marks Of the onlookers. His mother
was gone. Also there were no pranc-
ing horses In Hazelmead. but he could
hire an automobile.
In the course of his celebration he
asked a lady whom he met in the
street, IL she would kindly be his
mother for day. He meant well
but the lady being younger than
Hiram and not accustomed to such
familiarity from strangers, did not
feel complimented by the question.
They fled from each other. Soon,
Hiram bought a big custard pie in
bake-shop and had it cut into small
ish pieces and, having purchased pie
and plate, went out upon the street
with 1t. He ate what he wanted Of
the pie and generously offered the
rest of 1t to sundry people who passed
him. 1t was not impertinence in
Hiram; 1t was pure generosity-a de-
sire to share his riches, favored, in
some degree, by feeling of vanity.
1t happened that Mr.. ]. Patterson
Bling came along and received a
tender Of pie from Mr.. Blenkinsop.
MOP said Mr.. Bling, with that old
hammer whack in his voice which
aroused bitter memories In the mind
Of Hiram.
That tone was great piece Of i'm.
prudence. There was a menacing
gesture and rapid succession of
footsteps on the pavement. Mr.. Bings
retreat was not, however, quite swift
enough to save him. The pie landed
on his shoulder. In moment, Hiram
was arrested and marching toward
the lookup while Mr.. Bing went to
the nearest drug store to be cleaned
and secured.
A few days later Hiram BlenkinsOp
arrived in Bingville. Mr.. Singleton
met him on the street and saw to
his deep regret that Hiram had been
drinking.
1--WE made up my mind that re-
ligion is good for some folks, but it
wont do for me-" said the latter.
"Why not?" the minister asked.
II can't afford it."
Have you found religion a lux.

"It's grand while it lasts, but it's

you look it," said the minister
with a glance at Hiram's silk hat
and soiled clothing. "A long spell
of sobriety is hard on a man If he
quits 1t sudden. You've had your day

And the Lord says: Perhaps he's

That's His way of pushing people
along, Hiram. He doesn't want them
to stand still. You've had your trial
and failed, but you mustn't give up,
When your fun turns into sorrow, as
it will, come back to me and We'll

DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement Is Probably the Most An
cient Game, According to Records
of Old Writers.

The oldest amusement in the world
Is dice-throwlng.
In some form or another, dice have
existed in every period of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments, and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those in use today. They are men
toned in laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries in Europe.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy, about the year
1874 B. c., but the use of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages in the works Of
ancient writers and numerous repre-
sensations In marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.

To Teach Correct English.

Children should be encouraged to
talk, to observe and to describe the
things that interest them in the course
of the day. In this way they will
form the habit of the intelligent report
er who, on the way to his desk from
an assignment, plans his article, eager
to find the best way of telling his story.
Instead of making hateful mystery
of English speech, it should be made
the most natural thing in the world,
worthy of the effort necessary to give
1t accuracy, ease and charm. The
scraps of conversation | overhear ev-
cry day In elevators, across counters,
on the street and in trolley cars are
Of a nature to disturb those who view
with intense satisfaction the great
treasure we pour into education, be-
lieving that where the investment Is
so generous the dividends must be
proportionately large.-Meredith Mich.

plentifu:ness.
OF all fur garments neckpieces are
the most popular and the most useful,
followed by cape-scarfs, capes and
coats. These styles are much varied:
neckpieces range all the way from
small chOkers to long, wide scarfs,
with uncut fox pelts in high favor
There is a very great range of prices
in fox pelts, those in unusual coIors
selling at a premium. The silver
tipped black fox stands at the apex
in price, but nothing is handsomer than
the dark brown, dyed fox skins that
are fairly low, as fur prices go. g..

THE sleeveless slip-over dress,
which made its entry last sum-

dresses a useful cue. 1t served to
show them that women are welcoming

one-piece frock, to be worn with a
separate coat or fur piece, became
the rival of the tailored suit several
