- ISRAELTS story Of Vivian
Grey. like others of his novels.
-@-- deals largely with politics, and
contains character portraits Of we'll
known persons of the period.
When Vivian Grey reached the age
Of five years it was discovered that the
treatment OF a doting mamma and
overattentive nurses had spoiled the
child, and il was decided that he had
better be sent away to school; when
however. the subject was under dis
cussion. there was a strenuous protest
from Vivian against curls and going to
school.
Il won't have my hair curl,
mamma: the boys viii laugh at me, -
bawled the spoiled youngster, Charles
Appleyard told me so; his hair curled,
and the boys called him girl. Papa
give me some more claret; l won't go
TO school :"
But In spite of these protests he was
sent to school, where he stayed some
four years, when it was decided that
he should remain at home for a time
and do his studying there; but he was
later sent off again, this time to the
school of Mr.. Dallas at Burnsley vicar
age.
The rumor of the arrival of "a new
fellow circulated rapidly through the
inmates of the vicarage, and the fifty
young rascals We're preparing to quiz
the newcomer when the schoolroom
door opened and Mr.. Dallas, accom-
panied by Vivian Grey, entered.
"a dandy. by Jove!" whispered one.
"What a knowing set out" sQueaked
a second; Mummy sick" growled a
third this last exclamation was, how
ever. a scandalous libel, for certainly
no being ever stood in a pedagogue's
presence with more perfect sang-froid,
and with a holder front than did, at
this moment, Vivian Grey.
The young savages at Burnsley vic
arage had caught a Tartar; in a very
few days Vivian was decidedly the
nest popular fellow in the school; she
was so dashing so devilish good-tem-
pered, so completely up to every
thing :"
Vivian developed talents of a lit
erary nature which inspired great ad-
mlrati0n among his fellow pupils, and
also in the mind of Mr. Dallas.
But there are other attributes which
will win the admiration of a school Of
reaI boys: and this proved to be the
s Ip-,-...}.s.- rs,a., 20 rrs, y.-No4t MS
So often happens. some Of the boys,
jealous Of Yivian's popularity, found,
as they thought. an opportunity to
triumph over him. There was trouble
between the followers of Vivian and
those Of Mallet. the head usher; one
az the latter made an insulting remark
TO Vivian which he promptly resented
and the battle was on. and Vivian
GREY showed that he could fght as

Cats est excellent Example to the
Rsstiess Men and Women Of the
Present Day.

The treasures In the Egyptian sec
tion Of the British museum were
source of great interest to the crown
prince OF Japan during his visit to
London These rooms are special
favorites of the public. and for the
children the Egyptian cats have
special fascination. Curious-looking
things they are but they are cats even
If their type is mol Of the type OF the
present day.
The Egyptians looked upon the cat
as the very symbol of eonrentment.
and all who know hearth where
cat sits before the fire will agree with
them, and since contentment Is
good thing, the cat should be in de-
mand at the present time Madam
Puss certainly sets an example or
making the best Of things. In Lon
don drawing-room workwoman was
left alone to fit some chintz covers on
the chairs. When she was going she
looked al cat on the rug by the hre.
and said. at is a very friendly cat;
IT did not at all resent me being here.
The mistress OF the house glanced
at the cat and replied. Il am glad 1t
gave you a welcome. but as matter
of fact II is as much a stranger as you
are have never seen 1t before. II
must belong TO some people who have
recently left the neighborhood, and as
there is no fire to sit by at present in

BOYS PROVED THEIR HONESTY
Small New York News Vendors MADE
Good" Without Having Given
Promissory Notes.

One Of the great New York news
papers pays an astonishing tribute to
the young merchants who sell its wares
upon the streets This newspaper,
like practically every other, printed
an extra" after the big Jersey City
prize fight When the papers arrived
at Times square the young man whose
business 1t was TO sell them to the
newsboys. taking their cash in return,
found himself overwhelmed by an
eager flock of youngsters who grabbed
the papers as fast as he could open
the bundles and raced away TO dis
pose of them without going through
the usual formality Of paying for their
stock.
Many boy could have Kept all the
money he received as profit and neg
lected to pay for his papers, but, so
the paper declares. as soon as the
storm of selling was over the boys re-
turned to the neighborhood and set
tied, until the cash turned in was ex-
actly what 1t should have been for
the number of papers sent out from
the Office of publication.
That was only ordinary honesty, 1t
is true. but kind of honesty met
with seldom enough to be uncommon.
Yet 1t would be expected by those
who are familiar with newsboys. The
newsboy doesn't expect to be cheated.
and he certainly doesn't intend to
cheat anybody. More power to him.

Settling a Complicated Question.

One Of the queerest requests that
has reached state officials for several
months Is petition signed by eight
beekeepers at Kale. Mo-. asking that
owners of a sorghum mill nearby be re-
quested to screen the mill so as to
prevent great loss to the petitioners
because Of the death Of their bees af-
ter visiting the mill. After long and
tortuous journey through federal and
state boards, the petition finally
reached the board of agriculture, and
Jewell Mayes replied that after care

the beekeepers have no recourse at
law, but are liable themselves under
the statutes prohibiting trespassing.-
