KING HEROD'S ROOSTER. Tha Legend of St. Stephen, Firet ef the Noble Army of Martyr*. Ever since that first Christmas eve the cock has crowed all night long on the anniversary to keep away evil •plrits. for the cock li a holy bird and a knowing one There is a pleasant tale of him and St. Stephen, the first martyr, whoae day la Dec. 20, close by his dear Lord's. St Stepheu was King Herod'e stew- I art. It seems, who served htm In the kitchen and at table. One night as he was bringing In the boar's bead for bis master's dinner he saw the star akin- Ing over IWthlehem. Immediately be set down the huge platter and ex claimed: "No longer, Herod, will I lie thy serv ant, for a greater King than thou is born." "What aiieth thee?" cried the king wrathfully. "I»o you lack meat or drink that you would desert my serv ice for another's?" "Nay," Stephen; "I lack neither meat nor drink, but the Child that is born this night is greater than all of us. and him only will I serve." "That is as true." quoth Herod, smit ing the table with his list, "as that this roast cock on the platter shall crow be fore us." » Hardly were the words out of his mouth when the cock stretched his neck and crowed lustily, "Christus na tus est!" At tlHs proof that Stephen's •words were true Herod was so angry that he made his soldiers take Stephen outside the walls of Jerusalem and atone him to death. And this Is the reason why unto this day St. Stephen is the patron of stonecutters. Oil Wells at Sea. The whale is by no means the only source of marine oil. Though little : known to fame, the humble menhaden yields oil and fertilizer worth SI,OOO. 000 a year, giving employment to 1,800 fishermen and 1,000 employees of fifty factories. The people who are so profitably engaged in slaughtering 700,000,000 of these fishes every year naturally claim that they were created 1 providentially for the express purpose, since they are not fit for food, and yet the supply seems Inexhaustible. No one knows whence they come or whith er they go. All we know is that every spring vast schools of them appear in the gulf of Mexico, heading north in closely packed masses, near the surface, utterly incapable of either defense or escape. All that is needed is simply to scoop them up with big seines.— Brooklyn Eagle. The Daughter Balked. "I thought." said old Groucherly, j "that 1 could save money by refusing : to give my consent to my daughter's marriage with young Iltiggins, but it's no go." "What's the trouble?" queried the friend of the family. "She declines to elope," explained the old man. with a large, open faced j 'Sigh.—Chicago News. His Scheme.

New to Stirrups. An eight-year-old, who has spent all ' his short life in the city and numbered j roller skates, tricycles and toy autos among his accustomed playthings, passed a Sunday ou a farm a short dis- : tance away. During the afternoon a small saddle was hunted up and one j of the horses pressed into service. The j boy was enjoying his first horseback : ride, and after he had been walked up and down the barnyard a few times lie asked his father, who was leading the horse, to make him run a bit. The father complied. Suddenly the boy called out: "Oh, stop, papa, slop! I've lost one of my pedals!"— New York Sun. Crossing the Herring Pond. The liner was rolling frightfully. "Jack," moaned the pale green but etlll lovely bride, "promise me you will send my remains to the old home for burial." He promised. The motion grew gradually worse. "Jack," she moaned again.

The following explains tbe conditions j which led to the formation of tbe great 1 alkaline regions In the west known as the Bad Lands. When the rainfall is very light there is little of that circulation of water i through the soil which, under ordinary I humid conditions, brings about a con stant removal of tbe dissolved mineral 1 substances through the springs to the open streams. When by a chance rain the desert ground becomes soaked with water the dry air quickly evaporates what of it is upon the surface, leaving the mineral materials it contained. When the deeper lying water Is drawn up to the sflrface to replace that which has lieen evaporated it in turn goes i away, and its load is continually added to the coating. It is in this way that j the alkali crust of the so called Bad Lands was formed —New York Ameri can. His Mistake.

"I should have been a gibbering Idiot In another minute." he declared. "I never felt so helpless in uiy life." "1 ran understand." ahe said sympa thetlcally. "It inuat he awful to be so helpless." "I am very inurh obliged to you," he said warmly. "It was very good of you to come to my relief " "I am glad to have lieen of service," she said simply. "1 shall keep an eye on you. If you need anything before your attendant gets back, Just call me." She went back to her section and took up her book again, but her thoughts were not on the printed page. Phe was thinking of the man In the stateroom. He was a man to appeal to women; a strong, manly fellow with 881 FEU HI.M WITH PKKTTY BOLII'ITI'DB ton his com foht. fruuk eyes and an honest mouth, llis very suggestion of strength seemed to render his helplessness the more piti- , ful. The nurse seemed au inexcusable time returning, and once or twice she went to the doyr to ask if there was anything that she might do. The sec ond time he asked that she send for ward for his nurse, and she summoned the porter. That functionary presently returned with u doleful face. "Ah doan' tin' him," he reported. "He ain't in the cafe car." Nordine asked that search be con tinued, but at the next stop the mys tery was solved. The nurse had been left behind at the last station when he stepped out for a breath of air. He wired that he would follow on the next ♦rain. Nonline looked dlsmuyed. "1 guess 1 shall have to wire ahead i for a nurse," he said. "Titus won't | catch up with me until we reach Chi- ; cago, and In the meantime I shall be helpless." "Will it delay your trip seriously?" asked Helen, noting the look of disap pointment that came to his face. "My sister is to be married tomor- I row night," he explained. "I'nless I ' ran get n nurse by wire I shall not j get there in time. I am in no sha[>« to make train changes alone." Helen picked up the message that j the porter had written and glanced, , at It. "Are you Albert Nordine?" she asked. The man nodded. "I am Helen Paget," she explained. "I am to be your sister's maid of hon or. I came" from London, and the boat was late. I was afraid that I should not be able to get there in time. Why can't I be your nurse, Mr. Nor dine? The porter will help, it will be better than getting some unknown person, even if you are able to arrange the matter by wire." Nordine looked at her gratefully. "I wish you could see how much like an angel from heaven yon look to me," he said earnestly. Helen glanced in j the mirror and laughed. "I hope I'm not growing wings," I she said. "It would entirely spoil the fit of my dress, and Kertha and I should both lie disconsolate. I think I'd rather 1m; just a plain mortal." "101 l could not be a plain mortal," he said with an emnhnala on th« ud. ,» ».» »« «•* a nit t-,1 mm tae |ir*t%j f»r» Kb* infctfNl At the rr.»»f>|li»ii«t»t »»ld »a* timed * (It In mt M het ettdi*rm««titetif "Von must wot fllH with vn«t Wtfuf,** •ft* ofdi't-t-it Kftr #*ttk Into the art! b»him 112 Hat If tntflit «,»t the |dlj In Mr ere* Phr Inin Htm th»> rena«« for the bnnrtaifp* for had read tM •Inn of ho« b» had rrmitnl a tiny t>e|'hp * ffnm the Marine atttntnep home oil the tfililtmn T" Sordine ihr «ort«l had »uddenl| > grown lirtpht nvntn f|t» •a« Wot *We ta fwitl and lip had Iwh-m ullnrh' ml* prutitß In the «i Itliidp of the (Materootti. •hut off front hi« Mln* inn etft* In the I'olbnnii \.m. * |th Helen to talk tn, he even forrot ih«- umart of hla W niitjilt tien capital talker and lone tw fntv the i all for dinner tmne tlwy wptf faal friends He had the meal brought into the stateroom and she fed him «lth pretty •cdlettnde for tila cnifort He won dertil y itiich meat* of neHar and am bro-la «ei • i-trr o-rvetl upon iilytn pus. and lie «a* sorry wlien Hie wait er at I t*t came to take the tray He «n* *ti|| more ri-cretful w hen the (torter clime to put him to Intl. but sleep came «|lil«Hkl> to hl« contented mind and In hi* dren m< Helen mas with him aialn Site mine to him In tl«' morning na stain H* the atnter<*iin hat! been made up, and the day |>a«n«| all too rapidly.

"Well, if you will promise to be very good," Miss Mason Anally decided. And. like lion and lamb. Tessa and Mary led a decorous procession. The young rector's class in wood carving were having sandwiches and cake and lemonade, provided by the ladles ol' the parish. There was a big pitcher of lemonade, and the Ice tinkled deliciously as the biggest boy filled twenty glasses for the twenty little g'rls. The young rector, beaming with en thusiasm. sat down beside the little settlement teacher. "It's lovely work, Miss Mason," he said. Marion shook her head. "Oh. no, it isn't," she said; "it's horrid.
