left young mother gasping
Mrs. O'Leary's Well-Meant Word* of
Compassion Contained a Meaning
That Shocked.
There are still two opinions con
cerning red hair She was a very
proud young mother. All the old mas
ters had never painted such a bam
bino, had never imagined such a cher
ub as hers. Quite simply she be
lieved it. And the baby’s hair was red
It did not occur to her that red hair
was anything hut completely and whol
ly admirable. The little shining cop
per colored head seemed to her the
sum of all that was radiant and love
ly.
“I've come for the baby's wash,
ma'am.”
It was Mrs. O'Leary, the washer
woman,—a rawboned, dejected soul—
who spoke. Evidently there was for
her no inexpressible glory shining
amid the blu^ and white draperies of
a bassinet. 1. >w hard the world wae
on some worriTn! So thought the
young mother and proudly drew hack
the cover from the baby’s nest.
“Come and look at. my little daugh
ter,” she said. “See, she has red
hair.”
A flash of some strong feeling—
could it be compassion?—illumined
the dejected features of Mrs. O’Leary.
The proud young mother felt her
hand gripped In a grasp of iron, and
a warm Irish voice sounded In her
ears.
“There, there,” it said soothingly.
“Don’t you fret. Don't you fret. You
can't never tell what they look like
when they’re small. Some of 'em
grows up into real good lookin' glrla.
They do that I"
LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS
Some Truth in Assertion That Pres
ent Generation Considers Too
Many “Wants” as “Needs."
A woman who has been observing
people and things has come to the
conclusion that the expense of living
today is largely due to individual in
dulgence. People want so much
more than they formerly did, or at
any rate. If they wanted it before,
they often did without it. for expe
diency's sake; but now, she says, to
want and to have go hand in hand
without regard for expediency. This
woman Bays: “My idea of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost ol
living la that people are not temper
ate in supplying their three principal
wants, namely; food, clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over
abundance on clothing. Others In
dulge themselves in rich foods that
are absolutely unnecessary. StiU
others like to live in fashionable
quarters and neglect their food and
shelter. A person to be happy musl
preserve a balance In all things. One
must be temperate with regard tc
food, clothing and shelter. Live in a
respectable but not ultra-fashionable
neighborhood; wear standard clothes
not the latest Paris fashions; eat
good, substantial food, not rich, tasty
delicacies that cater only to the pal
ate, la my parting advice.”
Yea, 8he Probably Would.
"Does anybody ever kick you la
the noser’ said the ass.
“Aye, does there.” said the spider;
“you and your like that are always
walking oa me, or lying down on met
or -nnning over me.”
•*-, ell, why don’t you stay on the
wallf said the aas.
"Sure, my wife is there," replied the
spider.
"What’s the harm In thatf said
the see.
“She’d eat me,” said the spider.
“Have you got a wife yourself nowf
“I have not," said the aea. “I wish 1
had.”
“That’s a bachelor's talk,” said the
spMer; “all the aam% we can’t keep
away from them.”
"If your wife was an ass she
wouldn’t sot you.” said the mm.
"She’d be doing something else,
than." replied the spider.—From
James Stephens "Tbs Crock of Quid."
That Vacant Chair.
Perhaps K is more sad when a chair
la vacant in life than In death. Men
make a feast Many who might belong
at the table are not there. Death has
not claimed them. What the world
votes to be failures has kept them
away. In the race as it Is run they an'
the.laggards. Perhaps, In our reckcJb
lng they will never win. Had you
noticed how In the next generation
their children almost always arrive?
The poor man's son 1# the rich man
of tomorrow and the children of “fail
ures" are the country’s future success
es. There is ca ebb and flow of for
tune which must mrely reconcile us
all to the rhythm of being. Who dares
estimate life by a single generation?

Story of Hohenzollem Ghost.

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Oid Gentleman Went Too Par in Hit
Inquiry, anti Demonstration
Proved His Undoing.
An elderly gentleman walking
through ins garden one day stopped
before a tig tree on which were two
hgs jmfl ripening Ills favorites wen
figs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma
turity.
Shortly after, ho met his gardener
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy of seven with the basket. On
the way the little follow stopped and.
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
'emptlng fruit.
The attraction was loo great; he a to
one Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand
On being asked if the gardener had
not sent two tigs, the hoy, after a mo
ment's silence, answered: "I ate one." ]
"You ate one? How?" exclaimed the
oid gentleman, angrily. "How did you I
come to do that?" I
Dropping his eyes to the basket. “I
took it like tills.” said the child, taking
the remaining fig. “and 1 ate it tike j

And. suiting the action to the word. !
he consumed the second tig before the
astouislied eves of the old gentleman.
LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preacher’s Humorous Comment
on Bihlical Text As He Under
stood Its Meaning.
Of old tlm right of individual private
interpretation of the scriptures was
not accorded to the laity. Only tho
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam’s palace mule did not
really address his fallow citizens of
Judea or. the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the sun’s standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of a frozen
tact.
This advance in theology Is Illus
trated by the story of the darky
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, “These eight did MUcah
bear.”
“Muffrinds,” said he, "you la singu
larly blessed by de bawd in dis gen
eration. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah cow, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laclferous
fluid foh eight people. In de olden
times of which de Bible speaks It
took eight folks to milk a bear, eu I
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
dat”—Los Angeles Times.
Spider* Catch and Eat Fish.
Specimens of the spider known aa
Thalasslus Spencerl are in the mu*
■eum at Durban, Natal, and the cu
rator, H. C. Chubb, has Just made sd
entitle announcement of the discovery
of a member of this species In the ad
of catching flsh for food.
One of the Bplders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Oreytown, and It waa
placed In an aquarium. A servant
bey soon noticed the creature eatlag
a pet flsh, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
Ths spider, three Inches across with
legs extended, stationed Itself at ths
water’s edge, with two legs on a
•tone and the eight others spread out
on the water. After a time a flsh
came under the puts tret ched legs,
which were suddenly thrown around
It as the spider made a plunge, driv
ing lta fangs Into its prey, and then
at once climbing vut on the rocks. It
soon ate a flsh of four times Its own
weight.
Bagdad and Quatn of Sheba.
The Bagdad of ths “Arabian Night*"
■till exista, but In a greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand oM palaces
and moaquea of its prim* are nearly
all In rains, and only a small popula
tion lives where once was a city of
2,000,000 people. A new city Is
gradually coming InW existence on
the opposite (eest) beak of the Tigris,
the site being valuable from e com
mercial point of view. The Inhabitants
number about 200,000, and are mainly
Bedouins. The famous palace of Har
oun-e^-Raschlld haa disappeared, and
tit* tffdgn consulates occupy Its alt*.
It fa only a tradition which asserts
that the queen of Sheba, who once
visited King Solomon, lies burled un
der an eight-sided brick tower bear
ing her name In old Bhgdad. The dtlr
zens have ceased to venerate It, we
are told, and the tower Is approaching
a state of ruin.
Concerning Man With Telle.
It would not be wise to build upon
the story of the coast natives that In
i the interior of Papua there are men
I with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages, sometimes from impres
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo
ple’s neighbors. For centuries it was
a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. It originated
from the story that the people o(
Canterbury or Strood, having mocked
at St. Thomas riding upon a little a88
and cut off its tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails.
And the scoffs of ether Englishmen at
the “Kentish longtalls” rebounded up
on the whole nation, so that even In
the tine of Edward VI. Englishman
suffered from the taunt J
