FIGURES OF SPEECH.
While aunty wn reading a story ona night.
To good little Oliver’s sailing delight.
She came upom something remarkably queer
That good little Oliver wondered to hear.
And this was the something she plaeidly read:
"JnneAnn then determined to enter the shed.
And, cautiously dropping her eyes on the Uror,
They fell on the snake whieh had caught them
before.”
Interruption was rude, the dear child had bees
taught.
Be he said not a weed, but he thought, aai he
thought.
And the longer he pondered the stranger SI
grew—
The thing that Jane Ann was reported to do.
Be felt ef his eyes with mysterious doubt
And wondered how she could have taken hers
out;
And how—this was really what puzzled him
*hey could fall on a thing which had caught
before*.

An Outgrowth of Improved Amerfoaq
Methods of Fire flighting.
In St. Nicholas there is an article on
**The Quick Horse,” by F. S. Dellen-
baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod
ern fire department. Mr. Dellenbaugh
say$: It is only within recent years that
quick horses have been developed and
appreciated and admired, and the poet
has not yet attempted to sing the praises
of this more prosaic but noble animal.
Yet, after all, to one who carefully ex
amines the matter the quick horse ap
pears to have quite as good, if not a bet
ter, claim upon oar admiration and
sympathy and encouragement. The
swift horse wins the race, and in these
days he may cause considerable money
to change hands, in which there is cer
tainly nothing that is commendable,
lint the quick horse I write about saves
life, saves property and under modern
conditions of life is essential to our
safety and general well being. He is
the resnlt indirectly of poor .building—
an outgrowth of our skillful American
fire departments, which could not now
exist without him.
Not so very many years ago when a
fire broke out every body rfar and near
began to run and especially began to
yell, and the volunteer firemen of that
time, being in the service for the excite
ment of it, joined in the yell and start
ed ont the old hand engine from its sol
emn repose, while the foreman running
ahead shouted innumerable orders
hoarsely through his trumpet, to the
great delight of hundreds of small boys
panting to keep up in the glorious race
The fire—-that was altogether a sec
ondary matter, and when they all final
ly got there they went to work with"
more or less efficiency. There was a
great deal of fun in the business, but
fires were not extinguished. Our cities
in the early days were not built to pre
vent fires, but seemed, if anything, ra
ther built to encourage them.
In Franca we may well be amused as
we watch the pompier corps trundle its
bathtub on wheels to the seene of the
conflagration and deliberately fijl its
apartments with water dipped up from
the gutter, whence it is thrown by a
little pump upon the flames, because we
know mu eh of the architecture there is
solid, and if the fire ie not extinguished
it will soon burn itself out. But in our
country a mere spark may in a few sec
onds become a devouring furnace and
destroy house after house and block aft
er block. Many buildings are tinder
boxes, and our dry climate adds to their
inflammability, while the ever present
careless or lazy workman by improper
eonstruetioa gives the fire its first op
portunity.

try Editor.
The old time devil was keen to lear
He had gall. He wasn’t afraid to a.
the milliners for advertising or prizi
ing. He dreamed of owning a paper ■
his own. Ho experimented in a thou
sand ways. He lived in the office al
most, being there early and late. He
made a battery and copper plated type*
before the first typp founder thought of
doing it. He did stereotyping in a ruck
way, making a matrix from blotting
paper. Desiring to do his work better,
he tried to buy proper materials for
stereotyping, but he was bluffed so easily
by the prices or talk given him by tb*
dealers that for many years «e. supposed
ne was the victim erf some infamously
jealous trasts.
A tramp printer from Chicago made
him believe that gasoline could bo
made. The Chicago man pointed to a
hig can of the fluid and insisted that he
had made it. Gasoline was high priced
then. The devil sold the gasoline the
printer said he Lad made to a rival
office, and the two divided the money.
“Make some more,” said the devil.
44 There is a demand for it. ” The Chi
cago printer left that night, and the
editor made the devil pay for the gaso
line.
The editor can recall his last visit
from the tramp printer he “learned the
trade” with, the one who made gaso
line. He came into the “shop” and was
denied work by the foreman. He saw at
a glance that the old days and loose
ways were gone. Neatly dressed, well
kept young men and women were at
work in an office as clean as a parlor.
“Whose runnin this sheet now?” he
inquired.
“.Tack Hill,” was the reply.
“I know him,” he said laconically.
“I taught him his biz.”
And then they saw him drift into ike
sanctum and heard him say: “Hello,
Jack! You’re doin well. I want some
thin to eat and drink.”
“Gasoline” got what he asked for,
just as all tourists do who apply. The
next morning he called on his editor
friend again, and when he found him
discussing prohibition with two or three
ministers and one or two of the elders
of the town he lurched right into the
editorial den and joined in the talk'to
help the editor along. He was very
drunk. He cried and said that naturally
he was a prohibitionist, but be really
jonged to die and go to heaven, only he
had become “such a d d skeptic he
didn’t believe there was such a place."
Then he went to sleep. The preachera
looked at him in pity; The editor spoke
kindly of him as a comrade who had
seen better days. As the editor talked
“Gasoline” awoke and said:
4 'Jack, if you don’t gimme a quarter
to buy a drink with I’ll sit here and
holler.”
And “ holler” he did.
He “hollered” until the ministers
left.
This may or may not account for the
fact that prohibition has prohibited in
Editor Jack Hill’s town since the last
visit of his Chicago printer friend.—

GIRLS IN STORES,
offices, or factories, are peculiarly
liable to female diseases, especially
those who are constantly on their feet.
Often they are unable to perform their
duties, their suffering is so intense.
When the first
symptoms present
themselves, such as
backache, pains
in groins, head
ache, dizzi
ness,
faint
ness,
swelled feet,
blues, etc.,
they should at
once write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass., stating symptoms. She will
tell them exactly what to do.
Grace B. Stansbury, Pratt, Kansas,
says:—“ I suffered from intense pains in
the womb and ovaries, and the backache
was dreadful. I had leucorrhcea in its
worst form. Thus I dragged along.
At last I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for
advice. Her answer came promptly.
I read carefully her letter, and con
cluded to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound. After taking two
bottles I felt much better; but after
using six bottles I was cured.”

Uncle Mose came down from tbe
country to visit his eon, who worked in
the livery stable. Uncle Mose was a
deacon in a little country church and
was noted for his long, fervent prayers,
but when his son Ike took him to the
colored church in the city and when he
heard the organ and gased upon the
well dressed darkies he felt as if the
Lord was a long ways off. Uncle Mose
had met the parson the day before, and
what was his surprise when that person
said daring services, “We’ll all join in
pra’r wid Brother Mose Smith. ” Uncle
Mose went down,on his knees and threw
his deep voice and soul in a prayer
which shook the rafters. As he came to
the close his old white head was shak
ing and his voice was bringing each
saint and sinner to the shouting point:
“O Lawd, we know dat we is weak

Showing One’s Varying View of Golf as He
Plays Well or Ill.
On the links of the Island Golf club
at Garden City, N. Y., two men were
having a hot game, with success about
even. They were good friends and com
plimented each other on their good
shots and looked the other way after a
foozle. Just as the younger one stepped
upon the tee to drive off for the sixth
hole a very swagger cart came spinning
up the road that crosses the links nea*
that tea A stunning young woman was
driving. She pulled up sharply near the
tee and called out to tbe man about to
drive:
“George, dear, won’t you come home
now and not delay luncheon?'’
The man straightened up with an aLf
of disgust at tho interruption and re
plied:
“Not now. I’m playing the game of
my life. ”
“I wish you’d come,” she said.
“No, not now,” be answered. "I'm
playjcg too welL I wouldn’t quit this
for 40 luncheons. I’m breaking my rec
ord by ten storkes. ”
“Well, I’ll drive up and down here
and wait for you, ” she said.
As sbe started off George, dear, turned
to continue the game of his life. He
sliced his drive and lost the ball in the
blackberry bushes in the ravine. Ho
dropped a new ball and lost one stroke.
Then he topped the ball on the niblick
shot out of the whir and didn’t gain
three feet. Finally ho got out with
seven and was bunkered in the road
that crosses the field. There he lost two
more strokes and the rest of bis temper.
Finally he got cut of the bunker and
with a beautiful lie used his brassey for
a three-quarters iron and overshot tho
hole by -60 yards into the tall grass-
There the tall was lost
Ten minutes later the swagger cart
was spinning down the road at the top
speed of the horse, the stunning young
woman sitting very erect aDd statu
esque and driving with superb skill. In
the back of the cart, with his beeis dan
