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!” Those famous little pills,DeWitt’s Little Early Bisers, compel your liver and bowels to do their duty, thus giving you pure,rich blood to recuperate your body.

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. 1 Seventeen Year Locusts. The great brood of the 17 year locusts, according to Professor P. B. Uhler, provost of the Peabody in stitute, Baltimore, will reappear next year in most parts of Mary land north of the Patuxent river. Great swarms of this species may he expected in 1902 between the latter part of May and the early part of July. The Accumulation of Wealth.
