FOR THE LITTLE ONES. REMOVED AND REINSTATED.
Teddy Forgot Hfs Errand Because He
Stopped to “Wrastie.”
Teddy lived in a large house on
the top of a hill.
, At one side of the house and down
the stone steps, across the three cor
nered hit of green called the triangle,
there was Aunt Matilda Me Wright’s
little thread and needle shop,
which all the neighborhood found a
great convenience, as there were
many hills in Teddy’s town, and the
large shops were far down below the
houses and meant much climbing
going to and from them.
Aunt Matilda was greatly liked by
the children, for she was never out
of patience, and she,kept candy,
bread and many other things be
sides thread and needles * and was
possessed of a liberal heart that
made her always put in a little over
weight when one bought a penny’s
worth of sweets.
Teddy was playing in the yard
when Christine called him.' It was
5:15 by the kitchen clock and Sat
urday afternoon.
“Come here, laddie,” called Chris
tine, and Teddy, with his appetite
for supper growing bigger every
minute and a smell of Christine’s
molasses cookies in the air, went
willingly.
“I’ve broken my shoe lace,” said
Christine, showing the dangling
ends, “and it’s falling over it I’ll be
carrying in the supper. So hurry,
laddie, over to Mrs. McWright’s and
get a pair. There’s a 5 cent bit, and
there’s a turnover, crisp and brown,
waiting for you if you’re speedy.”
So Teddy ran down the stone
steps and into the triangle, where
he met five boys, one of whom, a
stranger, instantly challenged him
to what he called a “wrastle.”
Teddy, champion of his hill, pock
eted his 5 cents and fell to with en
thusiasm. He came off victor, but
the clock was striking 6 when, flush
ed and breathless, he flew into Aunt
Matilda’s shop, furiously jangling
the bell that called that excellent
woman from her tea and toast just
beyond the partition.
There stood Teddy, his hands
thrust in his pockets, his legs far
apart, his hat on the back of his
head, frowning thoughtfully at the
candy jars.
“Oh, Aunt Matilda,” he began as
he became aware of her presence,
“I’ve come for something. It’s 5
cents’ worth of something for Chris
tine. What do you s’pose it is ?”
“Let’s see,” said Aunt Matilda.
“Well, I guess, as it's 6 o’clock, it’s
bread she’s wanting, and the boy
that fetches it wants a peppermint
stick.”
“Oh, thank you!” said Teddy
gratefully. “You know a lot, Aunt
Matilda, and you can always help a
fellow out.”
Christine’s wrath was great when
after 45 minutes of waiting Teddy
appeared, comfortably sucking his
candy and carrying a loaf of bread.
“Bread! And me with eight
loaves of sweet, fresh bread just
baked! Take It back”—
But Teddy’s mother came in to
hear the story.
“Ho; keep the bread, Christine.
Teddy can pay for it out of his
money, and he must go right back
and do his errand before supper.
That will help to strengthen his
memory.”
So Teddy mournfully took his
way back through the park with one
of his own precious nickels that he
was saving for a camera shut tight
in his hand, and this time he had no
temptation to loiter by the way.
Aunt Matilda laughed until her
fat sides shook when she heard the
story and comforted his heart with
two nice sticks of candy to pay for
what she kindly called their mistake.
—-L. E. Crittenden in Seattle Post-
Intelligencer.
A few weeks ago a wild excite
ment was caused in the war depart
ment at Washington when a rumor
spread around that the civil service
rules had been disregarded in the
case of -an old soldier, who, after
being in the department for many
years, had had his head taken off
without warning. It was also hint
ed that if the old soldier’s case were
•reopened reinstatement would sure
ly follow. Interested parties were
directed to a certain place on the
second floor for particulars.
Imagine their feelings when they
. saw two men at a large table in the
corridor at work on the lay figure
taken from one of the glass cases in
which the uniforms of the United
States army at various periods are
displayed to an admiring public.
The moths had got into the stuffing
of a very old soldier indeed, wear-
; ing a Confederate uniform, and the
; ghastly spectacle presented itself of
; his wooden head standing on the
table entirely apart from his trunk.
The reopening of his case occur
red later in the day when, the moths
having been killed and a fresh in
stallment of camphor mixed with
the stuffing, the figure was returned
to its place under glass.
TRANSPARENT MIRRORS.
CURES BLOOD POISON.
A Unique Relationship.
A Dayton, 0., dispatch to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer says that John
Karch. was wedded recently to his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Susie Karch,
in Judge McCahn’s private office.
The groom is 59 and the bride 22.
Several years ago the latter was
united in marriage to the son of the
man whom she has just wedded. In
the course of time marital infelici
ties arose, and Mrs. Karch secured a
divorce from her husband. The re
jected husband’s father immediate
ly played the suitor and won out
with a promise of marriage, which
was fulfilled today under most ex
traordinary circumstances, the bride
having been separated from her Hus
band only a short time.
Besides marrying her father-in-
law, the question arises as to
whether the bride is pot really her
own mother-in-law. Two children
were born from the first union, and
their grandpa has suddenly turned
to a solicitous old stepfather. They
reside at Chambersburg, 0.
Municipal Hot Water Service.
A decided innovation in the line
of 'municipal ownership is soon to
be launched at Goshen, Ind. Here
the council proposes to furnish heat
to its citizens in addition to water
and lighti The plan is to furnish
hot water for heating purposes from
the municipal waterworks plant.
This system. has been tested and
found successful in London, and
alsd to some extent by private com
panies in the United States, but
never before has a municipality
undertaken such a plan. Goshen
is a typical municipal ownership
city already. It is nearly 25 years
since she took her first step in this
direction, and she has gone far
enough to feel certain that these
principles are a good, thing for any
well ordered city of similar size. It
is estimated that the introduction of
this service will show a yearly profit
of over $10,000 at the start.—Phil
adelphia' Eecord.
Croker’s Visitors.
Bichard Croker will not allow
visitors from Hew York to come to
his home at Wantage unless they are
specially bidden to be guests at the
Moat House. A close personal
friend of Mr. Croker said recently
that Bichard Croker, Jr., went to
Wantage without being asked to
call and there* met an irate father,
who ordered his son back to London
until he was asked to make a visit.
Philosophical Mr. James.
Henry James was once praising
the work of a fellow author. “You
are very kind to him,” said some one
present, “for he says very unpleas-
. ant things about yotir work.” “Ah,”
said Mr. James, “but, then, both of
us may be wrong.”
The Scientific Way.
“John Thompson of Ottawa had
a finger amputated the other day as
the result of putting chemicals on a
Wart,” says the Kansas City Jour
nal, “and there will be but little
sympathy with Mr. Thompson. The
idea of putting chemicals on a wart,
when everybody knows that the
scientific way to remove warts is to
touch them with a gizzard of a
chicken and then bury the gizzard
at the left hand corner of the grave
of a politician, saying: “Like loves
like; come like, take like!”

Mirrors that one can see through
are a new invention already coming
into use. They are of so called
“platinized glass,” being backed
wijh a compound made of 95 per
cent silver and 5 per eent platinum,
and, optically speaking, they are ex
ceedingly curious and interesting.
Looking into a glass of this kind,
one finds a first rate reflection. It
is a mirror and nothing more. At
the same time a person on the oth
er side can see directly through it.
For example, a glass of this sort
placed in front of the prescription
desk in an apothecary shop perfect
ly conceals the prescription clerk
and his apparatus. Thus the pri
vacy of that department is secured,
while on his part the clerk is able to
survey the shop and see everybody
who comes in, just as if the mirror
were ordinary glass. It is transpar
ent to Him, but is like any common
mirror from the viewpoint of people
in front. It is easily seen that glass
of this kind is likely to be useful for
a good many purposes. It can be
put in the doors of dark bathrooms
or of any other rooms where privacy
is desirable and light is wanted.
Anybody who has observed his own
reflection in the plate glass win
dows of shops will understand the
principle well enough. The effect
is merely enhanced by an extremely
thin coat of platinum silver, which
allows light to pass through and yet
furnishes an excellent looking glass.
The process consists in pouring over
plate glass nitrate of silver and plat
inum and then applying roehelle
salts.—Saturday Evening Post.
i Scrofula, Ulcers. Old Sores, Bone Fains-
Tria*. Treatment Free,
British Coronets.
This next year ought to be a
splendid time for all the best jew
elers in England and Paris, as coro
nets must be cleaned and rearrang
ed, if old ones, and new ones must
be built and decorated, says a writer
in an English magazine.
"It is a common but erroneous idea
that none but dukes and duchesses
have the famous strawberry leaves
as the garland of their coronets. In
truth, the great glory lies in the
fact that they have the right to wear
eight golden strawberry leaves, while
a marquis or marchioness can only
have four and four silver balls alter
nately. An earl’s or a countess’
coronet also carries the mystic fo
liage.
A Beer Mug Raid.
At the recent banquet- at Bonn in
honor of the German crown prince,
at which the kaiser was present, an
unpleasant incident arose. The
guests thought that the beer mugs
were keepsakes and carried <550 of
them. The “Borussia” corps, which
acted as host, instead of settling for
the mugs, has asked the guests who
carried them away either to return
them or to send 30 cents to the pro-
irietor of the restaurant where the
anquet was held.

expected in 1902 between the latter
