An Indefinite Number.
Three-year-old Andrew was in a
rather petulant mood, and in order
to restore his customary good hu
mor his mother promised him some
preserved strawberries if he would
be a good bey. Calling a servant,
she said:
“Jennie, please give Andrew
•bout four strawberries.”
Jennie proceeded to fulfill the
•wish of her mistress and counted
•out the berries, “One, two, three,
ffour.”
‘T want five,” protested the child.
•But your mother said four,”
said Jennie.
‘Mamma said ‘about four,’ ” re
plied Andrew.
And he got the fifth.—New York
Times.
His Favorite Game Bird.
At a dinner one day, says 8
-writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, some men were discussing
the merits of different kinds of
game birds. One preferred canvas
back duck, another woodcock, and
still another thought a quail the
most delicious article of food. The
discussion and the dinner ended at
about the same time.
“Now, Frank,” said one of the
men to the waiter at his elbow,
“what kind of game do you like
best?”
“Well, suh, to tell the truf, di
most any kind of game suits me,
but what I like bes’ is an American
■eagle served on a silver dllar.”
Is Your Family Reading "Worth
While?”
So much of current reading is
merely entertaining at best that
the question naturally arises. Is
it worth while? Yours sons and
daughters are bound to read some
thing. They hunger for stories
which take, them into the other
half of the world—the world of
adventure, of valor, of fortune
making. The problem is to give
them such reading without putting
into their hands the literature that
is either silly or demoralizing, The
editors of The'Youth’stCompamon
believe that a periodical .can‘be
made entertaining and yet “worth
while,” and The Companion is con
ducted on that theory. And that
'is one reason why more than half
a million American families read
ft. The paper is safe, but not dull.
Its tales of adventure illustrate the
advantages of fortitude and self
reliance. Its stories of character
lay stress on the truth that right
conduct is never a mistake.

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way a Russian Princess Dis|’ cause
of Her Jewels. re “
A few years ago Ludwig Nis** l^’
a well known wholesale dealer oi
the Maiden lane district, was in the j
office of a diamond merchant in
London when a stranger came in 1
and offered an unusually beautiful *
stone for sale. The Englishman j
did not care to buy. But Nissen j
thought he saw a bargain. But he
was not willing to buy until he
learned who owned the stone and
where it had come from. The man
said he represented a friend, a wo
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owner’s name he would not buy.;
The stranger said he would see the j
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. It
turned out that she was a Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed thaf Ameri
can one of the finest collections of
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth $200,000 or $300,000.
“We sell them a few *at | time,”
she explained, “just enough of
them each year to give us a living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don’t sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gambler’s spirit.
The money would not last a year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
I estimate that there are enough of
them to keep us twenty years, and
I don’t expect to live longer than
that.”
One of those diamonds forms the
centerpiece of one of the most val
uable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent to this country
every year. In the “diamond horse
shoe” at the opera there is never a
night when there are not some of
the jewels of the exiled princess on
view.—New York Tribune.
Time, Not Space.
Mrs. Frink was a trusting soul
and rarely questioned the opinions
of others about matters concerning
which they were supposed to be in
formed. One day she came home
with anew pair of shoes under her
arm. “Got them at Bride’s,” she
explained, “and they’re the best I
ever bought you.”
“What is so very good about
them ?” inquired her son, for whom
the shoes were intended.
“Why, the salesman said that you
could walk farther in them than in
any others without getting tired,
and I said that you couldn’t walk
very far just now on account of
your knee, you know, and he said
that he meant farther for the same
distance. So I bought them, and
here they are. Save the string,
please.”
She did not notice the smile on
her son’s face as he undid the pack
age, and he was spared the trouble
of explaining. Youth’s Compan
ion.
