MISS JACKSON'S
umCMTIMC
VftiLLIt III1L

!
It was the day before St. Valentine's
day. and It j?eeined as If a demon of
mischief had taken possession of every
scholar in the Pineviilc puh!ic
school. Miss Tayior. the teacher, sigh
ed as she rapped o:: he. d. 1-: fe.r order.
Never had the children been so unruly
before. Instead of attending to their
lessons the boys and girls were whispering.
When Miss Taylor rapped they became
quiet and went on with their lessons.
In a few minutes the noise start- ,
ed again. Miss Taylor looked up quick- ,
ly and saw one of the larger boys trying
to hide a picture. j
"Well, Adam," she called, "bring me
that picture." When the boy handed
Miss Taylor the picture all of the schol- :
ars laughed There cm a piece of coarse
paper was a picture of an old lady.
Underneath the picture were some rude
verses about cranky old maids and
I
cats.
"Well, what were you going to do
with this picture? Where did you get
It?" asked the teacher.
"Some of us boys bought It to send
to Miss Jackson tomorrow. You know ;
he Is a cranky old maid. Bhe Is al
ways scolding us boys for tormenting
her old black cat We never hurt the j
old thing. We only have some fun
with it," replied the boy.
"Go to your seat WilL I will keep [
this ugly picture. I am very sorry to
find that any of my scholars would
play sock a mean trick on an old per*
on. I will tell you the story of Miss
Jackson's life?why she Is living alone,"
aid Miss Taylor.
"When Miss Jackson was a young !
woman her mother died, leaving a .
large family of children. As Miss
Jackson was the oldest the burdens
f the family fell upon her should era.
She worked and slaved for those children
from morning until night When
they bfccame men and women they
married and left home, but of course
> no one wanted Miss Jackson. Tbey I
said she was old and cranky. Tbey I

working for them. With a few bun
dred dollars that she had received
from her father's estate Miss Jackson
bought the little cottage next to the
school, where she now lives. Children,
after hearing this story, I think yon
will not play any more mean tricks on
Hiss Jackson."
The scholars were ashamed of themselves,
for they reir em be red the comic
valentines they had sent an former
Valentine days.
"I think that If we each contribute 5
cents we would have enough money to
buy a pretty bunch of flowers for Miss j
Jackson. How many are In favor of
sending ber flower?) for a valentine?" i
asked Miss Taylor. Every band was
raised.
The next morning Miss Jackson sat
In her lonely kitchen knitting. The
cat was asleep under the stove. Miss
Jackson was thinking about her past
life and the ungratefulness of her
brothers and sisters when she heard a
knock at the door. She looked out of
the window and saw some of the
school children standing by her gate.
"It's another valentine from those children.
I only get comic ones," muttered
Miss Jackson as she opened the
door. ,
Imagine her surprise when she found

"Don't talk to me of girls!"
growled the bachelor. "I took a
girl out to lunch last week."
"What of that?"
"Well, I too'c her into 3 restaurant,
and she said she wasn't hungry."
"Didn't she eat anything?"
"Didn't she eat anything! Why,
man, she looked at the menu, tried
five kinds of joup, two entrees, lobster
cutlets, salmon salad, macaroons,
coffee, cream buns, chicken?
in fact, she ate practically everything
you can think of!"
"Well, vou ought to be glad."
"Glad! Glad! Why?"
"You ought to be glad she wasn't i
hungry." J

Why He Didnt Call.
"Yon don' t call on Miss Cutting
any more, I hear, Blobber ?"
"No."
"Did she reject you?"
"Not exactly, but when I first began
calling there was a mat at the
aoor with the word 'Welcome' woven
in it and a motto on the wall
that read let Us Love One Another.'
Later I noticed that the
doormat was changed for one that
said 'Wipe Your Feef and a motto
declaring that 'Early to Bed and
Early to Rise Make a Man Healthy,
Wealthy and Wise* had the place of
the other."
8tory of 8tork.
A Warsaw journal relates the following
story of an experiment made
fay a Polish nobleman to ascertain
how far storks migrate during the
winter: He caught a stork and attaihed
a plate to its neck on which
were inscribed the words, "Haec dooilia
ex Polonia" ("This stork
comes from Poland"). In the folio-song
spring the same stork was
found in the nobleman's park with
a bundle around its neck containing
several precious stones of great
value and the metal plate, with
these words on the other side: "India
cum donis remittit Polonis"
("India sends him back with presents
to the Poles").

Walking Stfoka.
Probably the patriarch's staff was '
the first adaptation of the walking
6tick. and from its first inception to
the present day it has undergone almost
endless changes. In 1701 footmen
attending gentlemen were forbid'1
cn to carry swords, these be- 1
ing replaced by a porter's staff.
Thirty years later gentlemen were
forbidden to earn* swords, but allowed
to carry large oak sticks. Before
many years varnished and polished
woods with ornamental heads
came into use and in one form or
another have held their own.
Biliousness is due to a disordered
condition of the stomach. Chamberlain's
Tablets are essentially a stomach
medicne, intended especially to
act on that organ; to cleanse it,
strengthen it, tone and invigorate it,
to regulate the liver and to banish
biliousness positively and effectually.

one of the largest tirius of press k
photographers and, according to the *
London Strand Magazine, proved a
veritable gold mine, appearing iD
close on 3,000 publications.
The photograph was secured
more or less by a piece of good luck.
The operator was on a stand with f
his camera in the place allotted to |
him by the police, waiting for the j(
procession to appear. The camera j
was placed facing down the street |
up which the procession was to j
come. r
From the moment ft came in
sight until the royal, carriage was
within about thirty yards of him
the operator secured three pictures, i
He then readjusted the camera so 1
as to get a good picture of the king ?
and oueen in their carriage, which i
was about ten yards from him. 1
At the instant that the operator
pressed the ball and exposed a plate

and then followed instantly a

his camera following him. When (
he was able to stand he saw a terrible
scene below him. The large
crowd wra stampeding in all diree- 1
tions. i
Any one luckless enough to fall in
that storm of rushing humanity (
was instantly trampled to death,
and several did fall Some thirty
people in all were killed on that oo- 1
casion, of whom at least half were
simply crushed or trampled to
death in theponic that followed the
explosion. It is very v remarkable
that all the plates in the operator's |
camera were woken with the exception
of the last one he had exposed, 1
which depicted the actual scene at
