THE MAID WAS NO FOOL.
Gentlemanly Intruder with Thievish
Intention Compliments the On#
Who Foiled Him.
Thieves, if the adage may be trusted,
have a fine senes of humor. This is the
story of one who was enough of the
fine gentleman to recognize ability and
admire it, even when its possessor had
foiled his best laid plans for generous
loot.
One afternoon a few days ago themi»
tress of one of the most beautiful of th«
new houses along Riverside drive went
out in her carriage, with the information
that she should not return for several
hours at least. About four o’clock tb.6
bell rang, and the maid went to the
door. Opening It, she found, smiling in
a polite and friendly manner, a tall, dis
tinguished looking and well dressed man,
who requested the privilege of seeing
Mrs. Blank for a moment on business of
Importance,
“Mrs. Blank ha3 gone out and left no
word as to when she will come back,"
■aid the maid.
“Has she been gone long?” Inquired
the polished stranger.
“About two hours,” said the maid.
“Unfortunate,” murmured th#
stranger, in a vexed voice. “It is so im
portant. May I come in and wait for a
short time? She may return.”
The maid led the way Into the recep
tion hall and bade the elegant stranger
be seated. He settled himself comforta
bly, and looked around with critical In
tentness. Bric-a-brac, objects of art,
rare bronzes ornamented the tables and
the mantels. The maid sat at a respect
ful distance, with her profile severely
outlined by a window. Fifteen minutes
passed. The stranger stirred uneasily
in his deep chair. He spoke:
Loo- V»nf T f V inlr tt Will ViQ7*r? —
ly be possible for me to wait longer. I
shall therefore leave a message for your
mistress. Would you mind providing
me with paper and pencil?”
The maid bowed respectfully and
touched an electric button. The polite
stranger watched her with interest. An
other maid appeared.
"Annette, this gentleman desires to
leave a note for madam. Will you please
get paper and pencil from the study?”
She returned to her polite attitude
near the window. Her profile was re
markably well defined. The pencil and
paper were brought and handed to the 1
polite stranger. He did not begin writ
ing at once. He paused, as if in thought
Then he looked long and keenly at the
silhoutte of the maid against the win
dow, and wrote briefly. The note was
Inclosed in the envelope and sealed. He
rose to his feet, and with a profound bow
handed it to the respectful and attentive
maid.
"Kindly give this to your mistress.
No, it will not be necessary to leave my
card. She will understand perfectly.”
He bowed and was gone. The maid
watched him until his smooth silk hat
disappeared from view.
A lew minutes later her mistress re
turned, and the maid handed her the
note. "A gentleman left it, madam,
asking that I should give it to you im
mediately you returned.”
Her mistress handled it curiously, ob
served the address with some doubt and
opened the envelope. She read tare- •
fully twice and then looked inquiringlv
at the maid. “What does this mean,
Mary?” she asked. “Here, read it”
Mary took the note and read it. She
smiled slightly as she handed it back.
"He means, madam, that he did not
enjoy his stay, I think."
The note read:
"Mrs. Blank.—Dear Madam: A complete
itranger takes the liberty of Informmg
feu of what you are probably already
aware, and with great pleasure attests *o
the valuable fact that your maid is no foot

GARB OF BRITISH TROOPS.
—
It Is Reported That Officers Are Very
Much Dissatisfied with Their
Uniforms.
But, for some inscrutable reason, our
soldiers appear to think their uniform
is a badge of shame, or, at least, of
servitude, says the London Truth. Any
self-respecting officer, so far as I can
see, would rather die at the head of a
forlorn hope than go to a theater oi
restaurant or a private ball full of reg
imentals. A noncommissioned officer
who sees a brother warrior privileged
'to walk down the street in plain clothes
turns sick with envy. No soldier of
any rank seems to consider that uni
form can enhance his attractions to
the female eye, and the only way in
which I have ever heard of its being
used for this purpose is by the humble,
impecunious private, who charges a fe
male admirer so much an hour—two
pence, I believe, the usual fee—fo
walking out in company with him.
What makes this the more strange ia
that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit
ish army. In every foreign country
soldiers—and officers most of all—seem
to be extremely proud of themselves
therein. The effect of smart military
uniforms in brightening up a crowd,
whether out of doors or at any evening
assemblage, is undeniable. As a mere
matter of aesthetics most people will
agree that it would be a decided im
provement if uniforms were worn in
England as they are on the continent.
And from the merely professional point
of view I cannot help thinking that it
would be of advantage to the army If
soldiers of all ranks were expected to
take more pride in the king’s livery,
and not encouraged so much as they
now are to consider it a privilege to
appear as civilians.
Pneumonia Kills Thousands.
During the months from November to
April one-fifth of all deaths in the large
cities of the United States are from
pneumonia, while but one-ninth are
from consumption.
NEED ALL-ROUND EDUCATION
Desire for Physical Development
Comes to Parents Slowly—The
Views of One Mother.
It Is a curious fact that the desire for
physical development for their children
comes to many parents more slowly than
that for intellectual development, says
Youth’s Companion. It is pretty well
acknowledged now by everybody—from
the illiterate immigrant to the “poor
white”—that “book-learning” is a good
thing for the children. But the schools
in England meet the same opposition as
those in America when they try to put
the development of muscle on the same
basis as that of memory. Many aschool
principal has listened to protests sub
stantially like that of the good woman
who carried her views of education to
the grammar school-teacher:
"I want ye to teach me girl readin’,
wrltin’, and ’rithmetic," said she, “but
she ain’t t’ larn anny more of this
physical torture. If it’s Jumpin’ she
needs. I c’n teach her Jumpin’ meself!"
Presently we shall make good our re
turn to the Greek system, which in
cluded music and gymnastics as essen
tials to education, and so produced a
wonderfully balanced creature—with
body, mind and spirit in such due pro
portion that no one could overtop the
other. The professional athlete, the
puny scholar and the religious feclusa
are each the result of the separation of
one department of education from the
others. The symmetrical man is the re
sult of the well-considered union of all
the departments.
INCUBATOR ON DESERT.
Birds in Vast Wastes Cool Their Eggs
Instead of Giving Them
Warmth.
Many a person who has watched a
mother robin nestling patiently on her
eggs in a blossoming apple tree has
wondered how the little creature or her
ancestors ever learned that the long
process would cause the eggs to hatch.
A greater puzzle is set for them, says
the author of “The Land of Little Rain,”
in the great desert, where the same bird*
have learned to cool their eggs instead
of warming them. In the unsheltered
nests of the sandy plains it becomes nec
essary to keep the eggs from cooking.
One hot, stifling spring in the Little An
telope, a traveler had occasion to pass
and repass the nest of a pair of meadow
larks located unhappily in the shade of a
very slender weed. Tiie birds were never
sitting except at night, but at midday
they stood or drooped above the nest,
half- fainting, with pitifully parted bills,
spreading their wings between the sun
and the eggs. Sometimes both of them
together, with wings spread and half
lifted, maintained a spot of shade in a
terrific temperature. . Their patience
was in this case rewarded, for the com
passionate traveler at last spared them
a bit of canvas, which she mounted over
the nest as a permanent shelter.
JAP COMPANY FOR ARMY.
Majority of Sandwich Islanders Hail
from Far East—Are Organizing
Militia Command.
It may not be generally known that,
the United States army of the future
-,vi11 include a command of Japanese
sob 'ers, but this is a fact, claims the
N'ew York Herald. They will not come
from the armies which are fighting in
the far east, but will be enrolled from
our Japanese citizens in the Sandwich
islands. It is needless to say that a
very large portion of the population of
the islands, and especially of Honolulu,
is composed of this nation. They are
found among the bankers, merchants
and professional men. and are included
among the wealthiest residents of the
city. One of the principal schools of
Honolulu is attended exclusively by
Japanese children, and here has been
enrolled a command of cadets which is

enough. It is drilled by a former Japan
ese army officer, and although organ
ized but a few years ago, this battalion
has already attained a high standard of
efficiency. It is frequently' seen on
parade in Honolulu and attracts much
attention.
“SMART SET” AT RAT PITS
Fashionable Society Women at French
Resort Enjoy Revolting
Spectacles.
The latest attraction for the “smart
set” at Aix-les-Bains, France, is a rat pit
where fashionable foreigners gather on
Sunday afternoons to witness rat and
dog fights. At a recent fight the grand
stand facing the ring was packed with
screaming women, who seemed to
revel in the proceedings. Inside the
wired ring was a man who let out so
many rats for each dog. Some of the
rats were already so feeble that they
could scarcely crawl, and had to be kicked
toward the dog that killed them. Scores
of rats were left half dead, and lay
writhing, while the well-dressed sight
seers shrieked with excitement. H. V.
Barnett, an Englishman, who was pres
ent, ventured to protest against the cru
elty of the affair, and was promptly
turned out by the police.
Mountain Air to Blame.
A new guesl arrived at a New Ham
shire farmhouse where a Boston gentle
man happened to be holding forth on
the piazza, says the Rochester Herald.
The newcomer was much impressed by
the speaker's fluency. “I declare,” he
remarked to the landlord, “that man has
an extensive vocabulary, hasn’t he?”
The landlord was mightily pleased.
“That’s so,” he said. “That’s what
mountain air will do for a man. He
ain’t been boardin’ with me but two
weeks, and I know he must have let his
a aistband out much as four times.”
\ BERRIES FOR MARKET.
It Taya to Rnlue Thru, Prorld#il Ik*
Crop I* Dlupoird Of In the Right
Way nad Place.
Having been asked, by a farmer sub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
lor market, in reply I will say “yes '—
if the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get if any, are
1 second class—the overflow or refuse
irom the cities, where the market is
often glutted. The commiseion men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
I from the south, inducing many home
growers to ship. By the tlm# their ber
ries get ripe the demand is supplied.
| prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be sold for
i what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
| market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable.
Berries that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do to ahlp, can
be sold In the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Thten
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents a
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and girls under 16 years
old make a dollar a day. I, 18 years
ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw
berries In a day. I remember selling
five dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length of ten
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years
ago, were not nrofitable. as so many
grew wild; but of late years, growing
blackberries has become more profitable

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple System Which WITI Pay for
Itself in the Conrse of a
Single Week.
Market gardeners, and even the mak
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need of
some wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of eun or air. A cloudy day la usually
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and much harm be done to
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
in the accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire.
Make the reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.
Now buy a lot of cheap cotton cloth
PROTECTOR IN OPERATION.
a yard wide, and as long as the rows of
plants over which it is to be used. The
cloth can be divided Into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
re^l, and at the other end to a 15-inch
rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
into the earth at one end of the row with
wire supports at intervals along the row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the last wire sup
port, as shown in the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep the latter from blowing off the
wire supports below It. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd
Farmer.
Tile Right Way ot Prnnlng.
Set a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to be re
moved, and the chances are ten ttf one
that he will commence on the tipper
side of the limb and saw It off, sawing
through until, by Its own weight, it falls,
tearing down the bark and wood. Inflict
ing an ugly wound which it may require
years to heal, and which, If not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, eaw one
fourth or one-third through on the under
side, and then saw on the upper side, or,
with very large limbs, to have them sup
ported by a crotched pole, held by an as

plant sweat potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds"
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity w ith artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
1 of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
( tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
I
I 7
I One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
j imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
! claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costa more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, wa are able to sell the Kimball at a vary modem* price, quality aoutidtrsd
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
