DREADED LARGE WINE BILL Pretty Dancer Attempts to Evade Consequences as Result of "Swal lowing Bean" at Fete. That evening the management of the little theater in Montmartre had Invited players, authors and some priv fleged friends of the house to come and share a cake and "draw the bean," as the French say, for it was the day of the Fete des Rots and that is the way to celebrate it. It was agreed on this occasion, however, that whoever - drew the bean, and by that favor be came king or queen, must pay for the wine for all the company. The cake was distributed. Sudden ly a pretty young dancer got between her teeth an object as to the identity of which she could entertain no doubt at all; at the same moment she had a vision of the lot of money her brief hours of royalty were going to cost ;her-and heroically she swallowed the Unfortunately this little byplay did not quite escape notice. It was observed, or rather divined; by the young woman's right-hand neighbor, a youthful scribbling person, who had enjoyed some small success as a sketch writer, to use the language rather of Broadway than of Mont martre. He did not tell on the young woman exactly. He waited till the cake was all eaten and no bean had been forthcoming, and all the com - pany were looking at each other with unconcealed surprise not unmingled with suspicion. "Good heavens," he cried then, "I do hope nobody has swallowed the thing. A dry, uncooked bean is one of the most violent and deadly pois ens!" "Mercy," burst out the dancer, "I'm done for!" And she turned as pale as a ghost and almost toppled from her chair, while the rest of the company shook with laughter. This unfeeling con duct was near putting a inishing touch to the simple-minded young thing, but the author of the trick astened to comfort and reassure her --and to square himself completely as sumed the obligation of the wine bill beides. PLAN TO SAVE YOUR MONEY Best Way to Place it in a Depository and Then Forget It-Large Sums Spent Foolishly. Well, Mr. Man, how much did you spend foolishly last night? Have you stopped to think how much you must have in the bank to earn that sum in a year? You blew in five dollars? Do youl realize haat the best Interest you can get i"bank or in building and loan that this represents the year's earnings on $100? This is not a new thought, but per haps you have never considered your expenditures in this way. Ten to one you have often wished for a thousand dollars. If you had It what would you do with it? "Put it out at interest." But what -would It be worth to you as an earn ing force If you spent the whole amount of interest in the rounds of one or two nights? If you are not buying a honia you should be laying aside a certain part of your salary each week. Leave it in a depository' forgot that you have it. When you begin to draw interest on Interest, you are on the right track toward a snug little ncst egg. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

"What do you do, Caleb," Obed xunney demanded anxiously of Mr. easlee, whom he found sitting under :he shade of the big maple tree In 'ront of his house, "when you think ne way and your wife thinks another ibout anything?" "Well, in a case like that," replied Caleb, pursing his lips judicially, "we Commonly split the diff'rence-and I tome round to her way of thinking. ['ve found out I get 'long easier that Wvay." Mr. Gunney pozglered this deject wly. "I s'pose you're right," he agreed at last. "I didn't know but what you'd studied out some way of gettin' round! 'em and havin' your own way part of the time." "You ain't the first married man that's tried that," returned Caleb, with . suspicion of Irony in his voice. "What's the matter now? You'n Mis' Gunney been havin' a diff'rence of )pinion?" Obed slowly polished the back of one hand with the palm of the other and razed moodily at the ground. "Well," he replied at last, "we had some talk a day or so ago 'bout gettin' the buggy painted." "Well," prompted Caleb a little im patiently, "what about it?" Obed roused himself. "rd kind of sot my mind on the color I wanted It, but I hadn't gone so far as to tell hex bout it," he explained. "I thought perhaps I wouldn't. I thought some day when I wa'n't busy rd haul the buggy down to Dan Noble's paint shot and set him to work on it-tell him tc paint the runnin' gear either red or yaller and the body a real dark blue.' Caleb stifled something that might have been either a laugh or a cough. "It'll look kind of gay, won't It, whet you get It done?" he asked. "I d'know-mebbe it would have,' Obed conceded, "but it didn't get as far as that." "I figgered," Obed went on, "that mebbe 'twould be as well If I didn't take my wife to Bangor with me when I bought the paint; so I went out and dug some of my early p'taters to haul in-I knew she wouldn't ride in on nc p'tater wagon. The p'taters wa'n't much mor'n half growed and they didn't fetch much more'n half price but I figgered I c'd afford to lose a lit. tle somethin' on the p'taters for the sake of gettin' the kind of paint I wanted 'thout havin' to argue. "It took me some time to get rid of my p'taters, and, as a matter of fact, I lost more on 'em than I had to pay fox the paint, and that galled me some. When I got home I got the paint on loaded off'n the wagon 'fore she got ut to the barn-she most always comes out to see If I've forgot any thing she's sent for. But I hadn't for got anything, for a wonder, so that part was all right. "Come mornin', I went out to the carriage house to get out the buggy and haul It down to Noble's-and, Ca leb, there wa'n't a sign of a buggy there! I couldn't understand it, and I went Into the house to ask 'bout It. She was workin' at the sink, and she never even turned round when I asked her where the buggy was. "'The buggy's down to Dan Noble's bein' painted I' she snaps, and I b'lieve I heard my jaw click when It dropped opn. "'Well, good land!' says L. 'Then what in tunket am I goin' to do with all the paint I bought? "'You never said anything to me, 'bout buyIn' any paint,' she says, kind of short. 'What color did you get?' And then I had to tell her. "'Well,' says she, 'you c'n do any thing you're a-mind to with It. It wouldn't have gone on to that buggy. anyway. I c'n see through you like so much sunshine,' she says, 'and I knew a week ago what you was cal'latin' to do. So yesterday,' says she, 'I had Dan Noble come up here and get that buggy, and by this time he's got the fust coat on to It-and It's black paint, too. You can do what you like with them fancy colors of yours,' she says. "So the upshot Is, I've dug a load of p'taters and sold 'em for half price, and I'ye got two cans of paint that I d'know's I can sell at all, and I lost my day's work-and I ain't goin' to have the buggy painted the way I want it, after all. "I guess your way's 'bout as good as any," Obed concluded resignedly. Youth's Companion. Dream Reveals Hiding Place. William Hell of Brickerville, Pa., as serts that a dream revealed to him the hiding place of a can of gold, the property of John Belleman, his prede cessor on the farm. Belleman did not believe . In banks, and secreted his money. He died suddenly and did not reveal even to his wife where he had it secreted. Hell's story is that he had a dream that he was digging for Belleman's money In the haymow of the barn. He wa about to give up the task when the spirit of Belleman appeared and commanded him to dig on. The next morning he went to the haymow, dug under the hay and found a tin box. He took it to the home of Mrs. Belleman, who counted the contents, $5,000 In gold, and Hell was handsomely rewarded. New Things From Olti What becomes of old sardine boxes, tomato cans, meat tins, fruit tins and tins of all kinds? In France, where nothing Is allowed tO go to waste, they gather them up and use them-to cut into tin soldiers. 'In France, too, the old boots and shoes are collected, and every part is used over again. The work is mostly done by convicts In prisons. They take the boots and shoes to pieces and soak them; then the uppers are cut over into children's shoes, or, if they are too far gone foz that, a peculiar kind of pressed leath' er is made by some chemical action. Th nails are saved and sold, and the scraps go to the farmers to fertilizE the soil. "Who would have thought it possiblE to make anything out of old saws?' asks London Tit-Bits. "'Yet it is said that many of the finest surgical instru ments and some of those used by en gineers are manufactured from thE steel that first did duty In saws. ThE steel of saws is of the very best qual ity and finest iemper; and since it IL BELL HAS HISTORY HANGS IN CONNECTICUT VILLAGE AND IS VERY OLD. Cast in Spain Many Centuries Ago, It Has Passed Through Numerous Vicissitudes to a Truly Peace ful "Old Age." The oldest hell In the United States and one of the oldest in the world is in East Haddam, Conn. The inscrip tion on it tells that it was cast in Spain in the year 815, not long after the conquest of Spain by the Moors. If the bell could speak it might tell how it saw the Moors lay waste the fair vineyards of Castile and how for 400 years it slived under Moorish rule. It might tell of the note it sung in the chimes that rang out the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabel in the town of Aragon. It might tell how for 000 years it called for the rich and poor for joy and for sorrow, ringing out the bridal procession and tolling for the dead. Then, when the great Na poleon sacked Spain in the early nine teenth century and the duke of Well ington overthrew him, this little bell was removed, its home was razed and, in sad company with many others, it was taken away. In 1835 a shipload of bells, that once hung in Spanish churches which Na poleon had destroyed, was sent to America. Here the bells were to be recast and hung in the churches of the new world. The little bell, even then too old to travel, a veteran in the world's battles and a singer of great worth, was shipped along in this motley- throng. At this time in East Haddam, Conn., lived William Willys Pratt, a New York ship chandler. His wife's family was closely identified with St. Steph en's Episcopal society, which had erected a church on the hill east of the landing. The little church was minus a bell. Knowing of the shipload of bells and being able to obtain one of the load, they purchased the old Spanish bell. The little bell was selected from among many hundreds of others because of Its lovely tone and hung soon after in the chapel of St. Stephen. For 65 years it rang out the joys and sorrows of this new people from the church belfry. The woodland and the river echoed its sweet tones. Again it called the people to worship on the Sabbath. It tolled for the departed and sang love songs for the newly wedded pairs. Later the little St. Stephen church was condemned, worn out and unused, but the bell was still singing, with vel vety voice, to the people of the town. After the church was destroyed the bell was placed on an old stone wall near the little schoolhouse of Nathan Hale, and but for the interest of two who knew and loved the old bell it would have been lost. Even so, the exposure to the weather and the great age of the bell made it crack, greatly Impairing its lovely tone. In the ea:ly days of East Haddam, two boys had daily played in the little church, tinkering their sticks and nails against the old bell and enjoying its tiny tones. When their old friend was neglected, for the bell was almost hu man to them, these boys, grown old themselves now, were not willing to see it left on the stone wall. The Daughters of the Revolution had just purchased the little school house of Nathan Hale in East Had dam, and to this society applied one of these men in behalf of the bell. Through his Intercession it was hung again, this time in the new St. Steph en's church, by the side of the Na than Hale school, and again it is do ig service with its cracked voice for the community. Class in History. Perhaps one result of activity in the North sea will be to teach every body how to spell Skager Rack, or Skagerrak, as the Danes have it, and also refresh popular knowledge of ths part of the map, which the. Kiel' canal has a little blurred. In the old days the complicated entrance to the Baltic was a favc.rite specialty of teachers of geography, and every class? had to wrestle with the names and twistings of. the Cattegat and the Skager Rack, not to speak of the Sound and the Great and Little Belt which last name was also impressed upon the class in United States his tory by the British warship which bore it. But though the natural entrance to the Baltic is still important, at the' present moment, indeed, of immense importance, in our time interest has! been diverted to the straighter and' simpler way w thich the canal has opened ; per-h ips many present-day pupils would have difficulty in sketch ag the tortuous bit of coast for the control of which great fleets are con tending.. Peppermint in First Place. Peppermint candy holds its own against all comers in the saccharine world. There is more than sixty times as much peppermint used as winter green and about nine times as much peppermint as black birch. Peppermint beats spearmint four to one, but these various oils are not all used for flavoring candy, says the Phil adelphia Ledger. The output of pep permint grows larger every day and spearmint doubled in six years. but wlntergreen is falling rapidly at the rate of 15 per cent a year. and birch is going down more than half that fast. As John L. Sullivan remarked: "Peppermint now and then Is relished by the driest men'' Are Yoa Looking Old. Old age comnes quick enouigh without invitinrg it.
