wife, never had to criticise or caution.
Afc Hannah kept adding yean; to her
^ge and was finally spoken bf as an
old maid her proper father and mother

brother Dan.
Pan was hard .headed and bnrd
?working and hot at all a proper person
from some points of view, but that did
not affect Hannah any. She. had been
left $3,000 In cash, had never had a
beau nor read a love story, and she felt
that all she bad to do in this world was
to keep right on being proper.

It waa postmarked Boston, and never

It ?ms from Quincy lAvingr.tono Lap
ham, who bad got ber addiees from
the agency. Quincy was forty y sara
old, a retired capitalist and a widower,
and be wrote a letter full of sentiment
and a desire to please.' If ba didn't
know bash from codfish, be at least
knew bow to teach an old maid's heart,
no matter what a proper person she
was. By the time abo bad read lt three
times over Hannah Wray bad gone
back on her thirty-five years* record.
She mentally pronounced him ev darling
of a man, and she got ready to answer
the epistle. After sh? had written and
malled lt Dan winked his wife out
into the wood shed and whispered:
"Got any ginger in tho house?"
"No. Why?"
"I'll go down to the store and get
borne. T've been watching Han, aud If
she ain't In for a time with tho bilious
colic then I can't read signs,"
"Nonsense. I tell you she's In love."
"In. love with what-tho cow?"
"She's In love with a man, you idiot,
you. Do you s'pose Bhe'd bo humming
love songs and Btandlng before the

"But where's tho man?" .
"That's what I can't j tell you-not

She was several weeks in making her
words good, but there came a day
when She laid bands on all Hannah's
correspondence. fcTie had received six
letters from Quincy Livingstone Lap
banu and five of them treated of ?ove

visit the village, which was familiar to

Elephant Tag.
Each child takes thc nemo of an
animal-dog, cat, kangaroo, panther
or anything ho wishes-but one
must bo the elephant, and one must
be the mouse. The elephant tries
to catch all tho animals except the
mouse, and the mouse tries to catch
the elephant. If tho elephant
touches one of the animals that ani
mal must go into the menagerie,
probably the front yard. Ho tries
to get all the animals into the men
agerie without getting caught by
the mouse. If there are many chil

two mice. If one of tho ?l?phants
is caught he is put into the menag

the other elephant touches him.
Things You Can't Do.
Thoy say the following things
can't be done. Try them and see
for yourselves:
You can't stand for five minutes
without moving if you are blindfold

You can't stand at the sido of a
room with both of your foot length

You can't crush an egg when
?dacod lengthwise between your
lands-that is, if- tho egg is sound
and has thc ordinary shell of a hen's
egg.
You can't get out of a chair with
out bending your body forward or
putting your feet under it-that is,
if you aro sitting squarely on the
chair and not on the edge of it.
.Bad Taste and Bad Grammar.
Boys and girls should remember
that a woman or a girl should never
be spoken of as a "female." The
*:?e of the word in that way is not
O?dy* vulgar, but incorrect, for "fe
male" js an adjective, not a noun.
(They should also use the good old
word "woman," as a rule, instead of
the affectation, "lady." So far has
this affectation gone that it has ac
tually become the custom among
people who have poor taste to speak
ot saleswomen as "salesladies." That
. is wholly inexcusablo. We might as
well say "sidesgentlemen" instead df
?a]esmen; and who would be guilty
of so ridiculous a blander as that ?-~>

Boxow. Henry Martin
Charles, imperial
chancellor, prince of the kingdom of
Prussia and Prussian president of the
council of ministers. Ho was born at
Kloin-FIottbeck. Holstein, in 1840 and
ls tho son of a German statesman who
was himself a distinguished diplomat
and was onco secretary of state for
foreign affairs. Tho chancellor's ca
reer has been somewhat meteoric, and
he owes bis recent successes largely to
tho fact that bo ls about the only man
who can control the kaiser. Ho made
his way into tho latter's good graces
and has contrived to et ny there in spite
of every difficulty that has arisen.
Somewhat less than a year ago, on the
wedding day of the crown prince, the
kaiser elevated him to the dignity of a
prince and about the same time ho in
herited a fortune of over $1,000,000.
The character of Jefferson Davis,
row governor of Arkansas, but pro
? pee ti YO member of tho souato from
that state, is described by the compre
hensive word "picturesque." Ho is the
very opposite of the dignified senator.
James IC. Berry, whose seat In the sen
ato be is expected to toko next year, as
ho has defeated Mr, Berry in tho Dom- j
ocrntic primaries, '
and the ' result la
binding upon tho
Democratic mem
bers of the legisla
ture, who constitute
tho majority of that
body. Governor Da
vie Instead of being
dignified ls hall fel
low well mot. His
stylo appeals to the
rural voters, and
they pile up big ma- jwyrEBSON ?AVIS.
jori ties for him, **Jfr&nww
When President Roosevelt Visited Ar
kansas last fall the governor refused
to'don a high hat-in honor of the pres
ence of tho chief magistrate. To friends
who urged him to do BO he eald, "Why,
the wood haulers wouldn't know me tn
those tog?!** , .
. When the hour for luncheon arrived
Governor Davis refused to attend.
President Roosevelt urged bim to do
so J It finally developed that Powell
Clayton, former ambassador to M?xico,
.rae to be one of the guests. Mr. Clay
tod la a resident of Arkansas, a re
c minder of the.'days of reconstruction.
Davis insisted that the* militia under
Clayton killed his annt :
' "Well, governor," asked President
Roosevelt, "can't we persuade you to
join us? Is there anything personal In
"Oh, no," returned Davie* "nothing
personal at all. Ifs only because that
cuss killed my aunt 1"
Governor Davis was once criticised
because - 'while . professing friendship
fer the common people be lives In a
fin?; house In Little Rock. "Of course
I bave a fine house," said be, replying
to his critica In a speech. "I got that
house to entertain my friends, the plain
people of Arkansas. The street cars
pa fis right by. If tho door Isn't open,
kick lt In. If you don't find my wlfo
ia tho front part of the house, you'll
find her in the back yard makins ?iome
ro art?? ?oap."_
t - Shaw's Ups and Downe.
George Bernard Shaw recently
confessed: "Tho way in which I
majce monoy in the theater is
endugh to demoralize a saint. Fdr
long periods of years' Iget nothing
at all; and then 2 find, myself mak
ing money at tho rate of ?300
($1,500) a week. The natural con
sequence is that one begins' to live
at that rato, and it ja very difficult
;to 'leave off. Unfortunately tho
?3Q0 a week leaves off with, discon
certing abruptness."
