A CASH BOV'S PHISOSOPIIY,
To Oft out .1 Temptstlon'i Way l!c Changed
till J*.
The ex-fldrertlKlns manager of a
large Western itore tells an Interest
ing story, and the tolling brings out a
question concerning store - keeping
which lo of paramount Importance,
Vind yot la very Infrequently discussed
In considering suen matters,
t In the store where this man was om
ploytd there was a cash boy to whom
lie had been attracted by his quick, In
telligent way of doing things, and ho
had about decided to give the boy a
place in his office when be noticed one
tlay in passing through the store that
n new boy wai on duty In tho bright
little follow’s place,
i Inquiry from the aisle man elicited
the Information that the "check" In
whom he was so Interested had volun
tarily quit. The advertising man found
himself wondering why It was that he
took such n deep interest In this boy,
but he determined to find out If he hsd
secured another itoallion und why he
had left the store’s employ.
Ohs day on entering the elevator of
n lurge Illustrating establishment he
was surprised to find his young friend
acting in tho capacity of elevator boy.
"Hello, Sammy,” aald lie, "I geo you
have anew Job.”
“Yes, Mr. came tho prompt
reply, "I just went to work this morn
ing."
"You left the store several weeks
ngo; why did you quit there before you
had another position?”
"Well, I'll toll you Mr. V , I didn’t
like that store's way of doing business,
and if I had stayed there any longer I
would eertnlnly have been a thief,
'l’liero’s too much temptation."
This was startling Information for
the writer of bargain literature, so he
asked tho boy to explain.
In a frank, candid manner, he told
how ho had found a $lO note on tho
boor ono evonlng Just after the clos
ing bell had rung, lie shoved the bill
Into Ills poeket and went borne. Tho
more he thought about It tho more ho
felt that he was doing wrong to keep
tho money, but $lO looks mighty big In
a boy who Is rarulng sl,llO u week and
Christmas time was coming on.
He went to bed that night and rolled
and tossed a long while before sleep
came. On his way to his work the
next morning he thought tlm matter
over again, anil the 1 tetter elements of
Ills nature llnully being victorious, ho
decided to surrender the money.
Wbeu he reached his place of em
ployment lie promptly went to the floor
manager and gave him the money, tell
Ing the circumstances connected with
Its finding. The doorman took tho
money and turned It In at the office.
Now, In this particular store money
nnd other valuables which were found
were kept for thirty days, and If no ono
called to prove ownership they revert
ed to the store treasury. The Isiy said
(tint ho nuked the door manager one
day If nn.v one had railed for that bill
and was told that It was "none of Ills
business."
"If the owner didn't get Hint money
1 think It should have been mine," suld
the boy, "und If I bad found another
ten spot I wouldn't have given It up.
I guess that would have been dlshon
est, so 1 Just made up my mind to
quit."
It strikes us that the cash boy’s
philosophy was not very faulty. We
iielicve that In most stores ntty nrtl
cles of value which are found arc kept
n reasonable length of time, nnd If no
claimant nppears at the end of that
time, are given to the Under. That Is
certainly a more Just system than the
otic against which the cash boy regis
tered a complaint. Dry floods Econ

COM PAUL AT HOME.
A Boor Puritan nnd Some of lilt Unplea

Tho thousands of caricatures and
more or less flippant pen-ntid-peucil
portraits that have ■'J'flflred of “.lour
Paul” duriuis ‘.’ie last few weeks have
in the Priority of cases been much
" -e amusing than correct.
It is said of him that he has only
read two hooka in his life, one the
Bible and the other the “Pilgrim’s
Progress.” His knowledge of his
tory is confined to the revolt in the
Netherlands and the rise of the Trans
vaal, while the whole vast world of art
is to him a closed hook. His manner,
both to his familiars and strangers, is
loud and overbearing. When he
speaks he gesticulates freely, and he
invariably shouts at the top of his
voice. Although President Kruger is
immensely rich he lives in a very un
ostentatious way, and his meanness is
proverbial. He dresses in a suit oi
heavy and ill-fitting black. People
who have had interviews with him say
that the generally shabby effect of his
clothes is very much heightened by
the fact that they appear to Le seldom,
if ever, brushed,
“Oom Paul” is a great smoker, hut
few people in England would care to
try the tobacco tliat he uses. The
black Boer “tnbaken” is extremely
strong and acrid in taste, and if it is
smoked too much it has a most dis
astrous effect on the nerves. One of
the perquisities of the presidential
position is an allowance of £llOO a
year from the atnte as “coffee mom v. ”
This is allowed for the entertainment
of guests. President Kruger spends
a good deal of this allowance literally
ii|iou coffee, for ho drinks enormous
quantities of this every day.
Most of tlie business of tiie day is
transacted oil Oom Paul’s “stoep,” or
veranda, over n cup of coffee before (J

When a boy of lon, Paul Kruger
followed his father’s cattle as they
iveie driven over the prairie in what
is known us the ‘‘Great Trek,” when
tho Boers began to first explore tho
unknown regions of tho Transvaal,
lie is, therefore, not merely a superior
intelligence chosen to preside over
the Boers, but he is himsolf in every
way a typical burgher of the Trans
vaal. A Boor Puritan of tho old,
stubborn stock, ho hates all foreign
ers and is especially antagonistic to
the English.

to Have the Itonofl of Velasco.
Hevernl weeks ago ivliatnre supposed
to Bo I lie Bones of Velasco, the defend
er of Mono Ensile iu 17G2, when Ha
vana iv a s cap timid By tho British un
dor Admiral Po-ocke and Lord Al-
Beniarle, ivero discovered under the
Hour of tho Havana custom house.
('i)llocoi' Bliss so informed the Span
ish representative, Marquis Avguellef
at the time. Tho police claimed the
bones, saying that tho law provided
Unit all such discoveries must bo in
vestigaled. Tho collector i eplied that
ho could not deliver the n except on
I he oi dor of I lovernor-t leucral Brooke,
but ho took the declaration of tho
workman who made tho discovery,and
carefully boxed nnd sealed tho hones
of tho Spanish gouoral, which were
placed in a Bonded room.
General Brooke said ho would de
cline to deliver tho Bones except tc
Marquis Argtiellos. The judge of the
district court thereupon issued au or
der for their delivery to the police foi
examination. To avoid further com
plication, Collector Bliss iuiormed the
judge of his w illingness to have the
examination uindo By the police, if
made in tho presence of Marquis Ar
guelles. The judge agreed to this,
and the examination was held. The j
physicians decided that the Bones
were human remains. The tombstone
shows the shield of Spain, but the j
rest of (he inscription is effaced. The |
grave was Between two others. Aftei
a long discussion it was decided that
the Bones should be sent to Spain.
Ill* Hut Made of N|iin (Harr.
A guest of of one of the leading
New Orleans hotels put in an appear
mice in tho office wearing u very pe
culiar-looking hat. At first glance it
seemed to bo male of finely woveu
Brown straw, but closer scrutiny
allowed that the material was evident
ly something else. It was passed
around among a group of friends and
they all took a guess. One though!
it was prepared silk and another
thought it w as asbestos.
“You are all wrong," said the geu
tlemuu;"it is made of spun glass. You
can see it has considerable elasticity,
and I fancy it would bo about as hard
to break as an ordinary Panama. 1
value the hat chiefly as a curio,” he
continued, “for it is too hot to he
worn with much comfort. It was made
several years ago hy au old Alsatian
at Pitts'urg, Penn., who invented a
process for spinning nnd weaving
glass, his idea Being to produce a non
inflammable fabric for window cur
tains and other draperies. It was
found, how ever, that the stuff couldn't
bo made attractive to the eve. Any
how, ho gave up tho undertaking and
this hat was oue of the last things he
made. I bad backed tbe enterprise
to a suif.ll extent, so that tbe hat
stands me in about SHOO. It is tbe
most expensive article of attire that 1
possess. 1 don't know anything about
its aeooustie properties, but 1 pre
sume one might talk through it the
same ns through any other hat.”—

Bartow Man Indulges In a Timely
Christmas Chat.
HE IS AT HOME ONCE MORE
il Talk* Intc*rntlnicly of t Hijcnlllfaiice
of the Fifxtal Occasion and
It* Observance.
Cbrietmas dny has come at last. Its
joyous wock is right upon us, when
millious of <lollars will be spent
to please the children and millions of
hearts be made happy. I wonder if
old Hanta Claus will visit those poor
factory children that we have been
reading about—those little fellows
who work eleven hours a day for 11
cents. Wish I was rich—l really do— i
rich for a week if no more. I would j
spend a dollar apiece on them at least,
and I would turn them loose from the
mill for a day and let them rest and
frolic. Their hard lot lessens our
happiness at borne, where the family
is tiring up for the Christinas tree,
and "my wife and the girls are dodging
around nml hiding things and locking
doors and whispering around and
won’t even let me know what they are
about for fear I will tell. They let me
furnish the money and that’s all.
This is the last Christmas of this
century. Only one more and then
the twentieth century will begin. Of
course it will. I am surprised tliat
this simple question lias provoked dis
cussion. Centuries begin with units
and eud with ciphers. Nineteen hun
dred years will not have been complet
ed until 1900 full years have passed.
The year that is now nearly completed
is the ninety-ninth year and it will take
one moro to make a hundred, and then
the twentieth century will begin and be
culled 1901. Now I have had the con
clusion as the luwyers say, and so let
the discussion stop and the ense be
submitted to the jury. Christmas is
here no matter where the twentieth
century begins and we arc going to
enjoy it.
One day in seven is not enough—
we want a whole week at. (lie end of
the year, and according to scripture it
is a good thing to havo a whole year
in seven—a year of jubilee when even
the land we till shall have rest ami
tune to recover itself and renew its
wasted energies. Blessings on the
holy fathers who established the
Christmas holidays, and on the good
men who for eighteen centuries have
preserved it for us and our children.
It is a blessed heritage an 1 belongs
to all alike -the rich and tlio poor,the
bond and the free, the king and his
subject. But these good old ways
are changing and becoming circum
scribed.
Mankind is growing too stingy of
time. Christmas used to Inst from the
25tU of December to the Cth of Janu
ary, and for twelve days there was
neither work nor toil, nor official bus
iness, nor suits for debt, dunning,
nor preparations for war, but ail was
peace and pleasure and kindly feel
ings. The peasant was on a level with
the prince, and the boys and girls
wore chnplots of ivy and laurel and
holly and evergreen, and it was no sin
for them to take a sly kiss while tho
rosemary wreaths encircled their
brows, for a kiss under the roso was
an emblem of innocence and had tho
sanction of heaven, and love whisper
ed whilo wearing tho mistletoe crown
was too pure to bo lost or betrayed.
I love the old superstition that
clusters around this season of my joy
and gladness. Dong did 1 lament tho
day when my childish eyes were opened
and I learned there was no Saint
Nicholas nor Sautu’Claus, no reindeer
on tho roof, no coming down the
chimney to till the stockings that hung
by the mantel. Even now I would
fain believe, with Shakespeare, that
for these 12 days witches and hobgob
lins and devilish spirits had to ily
away from tho haunts of men and hide
themselves in the dark pits and caves
of the earth while the good spirits who
love us and watch over us, nestled their
invisible forms among the evergreens
that hung upon the walls. It was
pleasant to think that on the last day
of the 12 the cattle knelt down at mid
night and humbly prayed that souls
might he given them wheu they died,
so that they, too, might live in heaven
and worship God. 1 hope tho poor
things will have a good time in the
next world, for they see n rough one
in this, and 1 reckon they will, con
sidering what a splendid pair of horses
came down after the prophet Elijah.
Heaven wouldn't ho any the less
heaven to me to find my good dog
Bows up there, all renewed in his
youth, and to receive the glad welcome
that wags in his diminished tail.
Now, children, let ns imagine we
arc around the cheerful Christmas fire
and talk about Christmas and tell
what it moans. Of course you know
that it is the anniversary of the birth
of Christ, and ali Christian people cel
ebrate it. It is very common every
where to celebrate birthdays. Ameri
cans make a big fuss over Washing
ton’s birthday because he was called
the father of his country. My folks
mnko a little fuss over my birthday,
and my good wife’s birthday. They
don’t toot horns nor pop firecrackers,
hut they have an extra good dinner
and fix up a pleasant surprise of some
sort. We used to surprise the chil
dren with a little present like a pocket
knife or a pair of scissors, or sleeve
buttons or something, but so many
children came along that there was a
birthday in sight almost all the time,
and as we got rich in children w e got
poor in money and had to skip over
sometimes. The 4th of duly was the
birthday of a nation and so tiio nation
always celebrates that day.
Christians began to observe Christ
mas about 1,500 years ago at Jerusa
lem and Home. They had service iu
the churches and made it a day of re
joicing. In course of time the young
people rather lost sight of the sacred
ness of the day and the devotion that
was duo to the occasion, and made it
a day of frolic and feasting. They
sang hilarious songs, because they
said the shepherds sang s ::gs at
Bethlehem. They made presents to
each other because they said the wise
men from the east brought presents to
the young child aud its mother. They
Kept up tnetr festivities all night be
cause the Savior was born at mid
night. The Roman Catholic church
has observed these annua! celebrations
for centnries, and the Church of Eng
land took them np, and so did the
Protestants in Germany and other
countries. Christians everywhere
adopted them, and Christmas day be
came a universal holiday except among
the Puritans of New England, who
fobade it under penalties. They never
frolicked or made merry over any
thing.
In a groat painting of the Nativity
by Raphael, there is seen a shejiherd
at the door plnyiug on a bagpipe. The
Tyroleese who live on the mountain
slopes of Italy always come down to
the valleys on Christmas eve, and they
come carroling sweet songs and play
ing on musical instruments, and spend
the night in innocent festivities. A
century or so ago there were many
curious superstitions about Christmas.
It was believed that au ox or an ass
that were near by when the Savior was
born bent their knees in supplication,
and so they said the animals all went
to prayer every Christmas night. Of
course, they might have known better
if they had watched all night to see,
but when folks love a superstition they
humor it. If a child believes in
ghosts they are sure to see them,
whether they are there or not.
Those old-time people believed that
when the rooster crowed for midnight
on Christmas night all the wizzards
and witches and hobgoblins and evil
spirits fled away from the habitations
of men and hid in oaves and hollow
trees and deserted bonnes, and stayed
there for twelve days.
And now let us all get ready to wish
a happy New Year to everybody, and
my opinion is that wo can all make it
happy if we try. Let’s try. Let’s
turn over anew leaf. Let’s have a
Christinas all the year long. Let's
keep the family hearth always bright
and pleasant. Fussing and fretting
don’t pay. Solomon says it is like
water dropping on a rook—it will wear
away a stone. The home ol ail un
happy, discordant family is no home
at all. It aint even a decent purga
tory. The children won’t stay there
any longer than possible. They will
emigrate and I don’t blame ’em.
I have just returned from good old
North Carolina —a state that I love be
cause of its good people, and partly
for the same reason that Alex Stephens
said he loved his little dog, “because
the little dog loved him.” lam never
more honored than when I go to visit
old Rip Van Winkle, that Washington
Irving male famous and Joe Jeffer
son immortalized. The good old
state waked up long ago and immor
talized herself by sending to the civil
war more soldiers than any stato of
the Confederacy, not only more in
actual numbers, but moro in propor
tion to population. And she would
do it again. The Confederate senti
ment is stronger there today than
anywhere that I know of and I am
actually afraid that the old veterans
are getting ready to rise again. Why,
at Wadesboro twenty-six of them, in
old Confederate badges, escorted me
to the hall. Some of them had but
one arm and somo one leg, and they
were all solemnly proud of their
record. They circled half around me
on the platform and reminded me of
the grand sanhedrim that Moses tells
ns used to gather at the tabernacle.
They have a Tammany hall in the vil
lage, where they rendezvous and re
fresh their memories and keep alive
and burning the Confederate senti
ment. I do hope they won’t rise
again.
From there I went to Monroe, a
beautiful littlo city of 4,000 people,
who are wide awake and are putting
ou metropolitan airs. Cotton mills
and oil mills and waterworks and a
gas plant are already established, and
I was pleased to see that tho children
in the factory looked healthy and hap
py, and tho superintendent told me
lie paid the youngest of them 25 cents
a day, and worked them only ton hours.
I met scores of old Confederates there
and some of them came miles to greet
me. It was a real ovation all the day
long, and made mo feel humble and
thankful, for I can’t understand what
I have done to merit such kind atten
tion. One olil veteran who lives in
the Waxhawe settlement brought me
a hickory cane cut from the spot
where Andrew Jackson was born.
Another veteran came sixteen miles
to bring me a jug of mineral water
from his spring, that he said would
cure me of my kidney trouble in twe
minutes. “Yes, sir,” said he, with
emphasis, "in two minutes by the
clock.”
But I must forbear for this time
and close this long letter with love to
all mankind—except some.—Bii* AltP

The Craze for Spangles.
T’n> spangle craze is still with us.
Aim the latest spnngied dresses are
v, :i Iml ul to behold. They arc not
only a mass of glistening spangles,
which fit tile figure like a coat of mail,
but they are now seen with colored
- tangles forming different designs.
For example, a black spangled gown
\. il here and there show in place of
ibe black ones -spangles in violet,
pink or yellow which tire so wrought
that they form large, striking butter
ies.
Then there are other black spangled
robes scattered with violets, worked
in spangles or yellow buttercups or
pink wild roses. Such a gown made
up with a yoke mid long sleeves of
velvet matching iu color the spangled
design would be extremely effective.
Butterflies on Millinery
Butterflies are worn on this season's
n w lints enormous things, such ns
olio would expect to find In some
Crookcu scene. Created of some filmy
gauze, puiniod surely by fairy fingers,
these are justly one of the most fasci
nating details of the hour. In I’avis
butterflies are a small craze; in the
latest bijouterie the emblem is worked
up exquisitely by the aid of those at
tractive allurements known only to the
artistic members of the fraternity.
I'inincntly suited to this end is the
beautiful enameling which we art
once again learning to appreciate and
value at its true worth. An enameled
butterfly buckle for the waist is a pos
session to be coveted. By this it
meant the shape— the paplllon—not tin
enamel, for that has come to stay, am
will, of a certainty, be made much o.
in the jewelry world.
FflshloH Notes. __ .
Cords and tassels on some wrappers
and bath robes are really imposing.
A handsome scent bottle, conical In
shape, Is among the latest novelties.
Dress boots and house footwear
make up by being pleasingly light and
ornate.
Beaded purses and bags of small
sizes figure largely among the novel
ties in the shops, and are well worn,
too, by the shoppers.
Grebe is colored In a variety of tints
which do not affect the gloss, and are
shaded, from light to dark. Grebe
toques are very popular.
Very pretty for fancy bodices Is the
new Pekin satin, which comes in love
ly delicate shrdes. This satin is striped
in the same shade, and looks well with
out much trimming.
The variety of separate waists Is
something beyond nl precedent in the
history of dress, but the really newest
things are those which are made of
panne velvet.
A mink hat, with wide turnback
brim, and adorned with white ostrich
feathers, is worn with a collarette of
white chiffon and mink tails.
Short, pretty and convenient neck
furs nre merely broad bands of fur
fastened with clusters of short tails at
the front and with a high ruff of some
rich shade of velvet often of a brilliant
hue at the back.
The newest Idea In millinery is hand
decorated feathers. This accounts for
the remarkable quills and wings with
peacock eyes In unexpected association.
Thp effect is odd, but pretty.
Anew sort of veil invented for tho
woman who rides a bicycle or for the
woman who chooses the automobile Is
said to protect the eyes successfully
from dust and (lies by an Imperceptible
transparent eye sliielil underneath the
veil proper.
Dainty little penwipers for milady’s
desk are in the shape of a tiny silver
flower pot, containing a thick brush,
with which to clean the pen, while a
little artificial plant, with green leaves
and colored flowers, gives the effect of
a miniature rosebush.
Economical women will be glad to
know that dark grays, tans nnd reds
are popular colors for street gloves.
White and black divide honors In
dressy wear. Clasps are exclusively
used, except for evening gloves, and
three clasps arc the favorite number.
A novelty in a fur boa 13 made of
two whole sable skins spread out to
their full width and joined one above
the other, so that the upper head and
tall meet around the neck nnd the ex
tremities of the lower one rest on the
shoulders at either side of the front.
TheT'skins are shaped a little to fit tho
shoulders, of course, but the effect Is
much as though two whole skins had
been carelessly tacked together.
Bucks Dead Wtfh Locked Horns.
There was a battle royal between
two lordly bucks In the Canterbury
woods tho other day. A sportsman
from that village was furnished with
ample evidence of the battle when he
drew a bead on one of the combatants
and saw him fall as a result of the
shot. He hurried forward to claim his
prize when bo was astonished to find
that the horns of the wounded buck
were interlocked with the antlers of
another and that he had dragged his
foe to the earth with him. The sports
man killed the remaining buck, which
was thoroughly exhausted from the
life and death struggle he lmd been
engaged In. The hunter cut off the
heads nnd brought them to McAilam
with the horns locked so securely to
gether that no one could separate them
unless by destroying one or other set of
antlers.
Aformouimn.
This is a question that should interest every
ono. It i a a blot upon our fair land—a symp
tom of governmental ill-health. Tho 1 1 1; lit
laws would not as speedily upon it as llostet
ter’s Moniach Hitters does upon constipation,
or dyspepsia. They would quickly clear It
out ni:d restore healthy purity; ami this Is
just what tho Bitters does for the human con
stitution. It makes the stomach strong by
curing Indigestion, biliousness and liver
trouble.

Keep Small Fruits in Rows.
Why does the farmer who wants to
raise raspberries or blackberries just
enough for Ills own use always set
them out in a bunch? Of course he
puts them in rows and all that, but
they are soon in a mat and the grass
and weeds are having it their own way
with them, says a writer in the Ameri
can Agriculturist. When I took up
this branch of gardening the first, thing
I set about to reform was the berry
patch, which was uot only in the last
stages of weediness and grass, but was
a terror from Canada thistles, not to
mention the berry bushes themselves.
Now, if any one should visit the farm,
lie would notice a few long rows of
berry bushes running one at a time
the full length of the garden. If I
care to I can hoe them out neatly once
in a while and never a scratch, though
it is probable that some straw mulch
will do the work for me. The rows
run north and south and will shade
other garden crops very little. Here
and there a plant left out gives space
for passing through the rows.
Strawberries had a hard time of it
this fall, where they had to he trans
planted. My experience is that it does
not pay to transplant them in very
dry weather unless they are to have es
pecial care, both in setting and water
ing afterward. My new bed, which
waited for rain til! 'Labor Day and
then was set carefully, was uot thor
oughly watered, and would have died
but for the rain that came about two
weeks later. As it is, most of the
plants lived, but have made small
growth. Apparently nearly all the
roots died, and they were rooted unu
sually well. They will get a good cov
ering of straw this winter, and it will
be left iu the rows when growth sets
in again. lam in favor of the matted
row system, ns it is understood by me.
Itunners will be allowed to grow, and
when anew row is established it will
be turned under. By changing the
place of the row slightly from year to
year, now plants will be secured with
out transplanting and the farmer can
keep control of his strawberry bed
without much labor.
Making the Most of Farm Manures.
To preserve my manures in the best
way, a shed, built as a lean-to against
the barn, is on the two open sides
boarded up three feet high with an
entrance at one end. in this shed the
cows are usually kept over night and
during bad weather. They tramp to
gether and moisten the coarse straw
as thrown out when cleaning the horse
tables, and convert this into a well
rotted mass of excellent quality. Ev
erything suitable for the purpose, be
sides straw, is used as bedding for
the cows, weeds, rakings from tho
Hotter garden, leaves and pine needles,
in short, everything that will help to
make a clean surface and will rot un
derneath. Xo rain ever gets onto this
pile. The cows are fastened in differ
ent places, along the sides, and a dry
corner is easily made moist enough
with an occasional bucket of water.
Every fall the contents of the shed are
hauled to the field and vegetable gar
den, with most satisfactory results.
For the compost heap. I have in an
out of the way corner of the yard,
made with boards, a pit or box two
and a half feet deep by twelve feet
long and broad and with a partition
in the middle. At house cleaning time
in the spring, all discarded clothing,
worthless rags, old sacks, and the like,
are spree on the bottom of one of the
pits and during the whole year ashes,
waste paper, small rags, and the daily
sweepings from tlie house are constant
ly added. For this purpose an old coal
oil can. provided with a handle, is kept
near the kitchen door, and emptied
twice or three times weekly on the
compost heap. It is astonishing to
what amount this will accumulate iu
the course of a year. A solid mass of
this material six by twelve feet and
two feet high contains over five wagon
loads of a very concentrated plant
food, for which one would have to pay
a snug little sum.—E. C. W. Macdonald
in New England Homestead.
