There are many mothers whose

-His curls were beautiful, so golden

hated the eurbs, as do all boys when
the other bigger ones tease them and
call tiicui girls and tmbies and little
sisters. One morning he came to me,
his eyes bright and fiery with indigna

playmate bad chided him for Lis girl

longer. He stood as firm as a rock,
with feet wide apart, and commanded
me to cut them off. This has hap

I felt sorry for him. as I did for my

down my checks.
"W hen the deed was done, he rushed
out of the door and down the street
as fast as his precious, fat littie legs
could carry him. and 1 saw him
plump his fists la his absurd little

Womea Who It a a Elevator.
The elevator, a province over which
man seemed to hold uudisputed sway,
has recently becu invaded by woman.
In one of the olii-e buildiugs of the
city, says the Chicago Chronicle, a lit
tle woman yesterday aroused consider
able curiosity among those who had
not before seen her at her posL Those
who lielouged to the building and were
icciistoined to the sight seemed rather
surprised that any oue should question
her ability.
"1 sometimes run it for a week to re
lieve my husband and give him a holi
day," said the woman. "You see, it is
monotonous, and. of course, he gets
tired of it, so he taught me. and I don't
mind. It's easy as fun no knack at
all when you know how. Dangerous?
No. uot a bit."
At one of the North Side hotels the
proprietor hired a girl who had been
working in the kitchen to run the ele

was nior? satisfactory than the boys,
who frequently went to sleep lietweon

saying it v. as too easy. Of ourse, tlie

Thin arms should be carefully con

look that robs their owuer of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the ef

wide bauds of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms. "Thin amis," says

"A loug time ago. wiieu 1 was a mite

other little fellows, had saved up a lot
of scrap iron and t!u and sine which
we meant to sell when the holidays

"The proitositiou struck us as lielng
very fair, particularly as he agreed to
furulsh tie tolmcco. Well, we were
quite willing, so be brought some Ca

said:

boys nearly died, and they had a very
serious lime with him. That was my

FRESH GOLD CROPS.
Localities Where the Preclons Sletal
Urposils Itself Aaaaally.
There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year
or. iu other words, where fresh depos
its of tlie precious metal are to be
found annually.
Oue such district is in the Edmonton
country, iu the Canadian northwest,
where. af;er the spriug floods, from the
same banks aud "lieuches" of the Sas
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few diggers, who make their living
out of the business.
But tlie most conspicuous and inter
esting esse of this sort is to le seen
near Ichang. In the province of Hupea,
iu China. For mauy centuries past
each year gold has been washed from
the lauks of coarse gravel on both
sides of the river Han. aud lu the
midst of the auriferous district there
is au ancient town called El-klu-tien.
which means "gold diggers' iuu." Its
inhabitants snUlivhle the gold bearing
ground among themselves annually,
staking out their claims with parti
tions. They pay no royalty and ap
Ioar to earu no more than a bare sub
sistence. But this may be doubted, as
John Chinaman is an adept at "layin
tow aud sayiti nnllin."
The annual river floods bring down
millions of tons of mud and sand from
the mountains, and this mud and sand,
which is charged with gold, both "line"
ami i:i Hakes, is deposited to a depth
of six iui-lies or more on the banks of
gravel. It is in the winter that the
gold is washed, aud it is said that sev
en mi u work aliout 20 tons of "pay
dirt" in a day. Cincinnati Enquirer.
When to Stop tsTRs aad Milk.
"People over 50 would do well to
give up milk and eggs as a diet." said
lr. Henry M. Dearborne. "Tlfese are
the structure forming foods of animals
which mature la a short time, and
when taktn iu quantities by human
beings whose structures have already
formed they tend only to the harden
ing and aging of the tissues."
Ir. Ilearborne said that he had seen
people who were beginning to find
stair climbing difficult and who were
losing their elasticity much lieuefited
by eliminating these articles from their
dieL "Theie has been a great increase
in the duration of life below the age of
50. statistics prove." he said, "but be
youd that ieriod there has licen no
Improvement." In his opinion, tlie per
son over 50 should have as good a
chance to preserve life as the young
child just beginning its struggle with
existence. New York Times.
PLAYING POWER.
Jast Hon Great a Force Is Empeaded
oa the Plaao.
Tlie amount of power expended on
nlayiug ou a piano has recently lieen
.'gured out iu a way which. If uot alto
get her accurate, is at least Interesting.
Commenting ou the statement that it
rcr.IIy requires more force to sound a
note gently ou this instrument than it
does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Wo
man's Life, it is easy to verify it. if
one takes a small handful of cuius and
piles tliem ou a key of a piano.
When a sutliclent quantity Is piled
on to make a uote sound, they may lie
weighed, aud the figures will be found
to be true. If the pianist Is ilayii:g
fortissimo, a much greater force is
needed. At times the force of six
pounds is thrown tipou a single key to
produce a solitary effect.
With chords the force Is generally
spread over the various notes souuded
simultaneously, tliough a greater out
put of force Is undoubtedly expended.
This is what gives pianists tlie won
derful strength in their lingers that Is
often commented on.
One of Chopin's compositions has a
passage which takes two minutes and
five seconds to play. The total pres
sure brought to bear on this. It Is es
timated, is equal to three full tons.
The average "tonnage" of an hour's
playing cf Chopin's music varies from
12 to S4 tons.
The Landlord Outwitted.
In the main ball of oue tenement, on
the ground floor, we counted 17 chil
dren. says Jacob A. Kiis In The Atlan
tic. The facts of life here suspend or
dinary landlord prejudices to a certain
extent Occasionally it is the tenant
who suspends tbem.
The policeman laughed as be told
tne of the case of a mother who covet
ed a fiat Into which she well knew her
family would not lie admitted. The
landlord was particular. She knocked,
with a troubled face alone. Yes. the
flat was to let. Had she any children?
Tbe woman heaved a sigh. "Six. but
they are all in Greenwood."
The landlord's heart was touched by
sneh woo. He let her have the fiat
By night be was amazed to find a flock
of half a dozen robust youngsters dom
iciled under his roof. Tbey had indeed
been iu Greenwood, but they had come
back from the cemetery to stay. And
stay they did. the rent being paid.
SelsiaK the Opportunity
"5Iiss Am-tnda." said the somewhat
elderly but well preserved bachelor
to the sparkliug young woman with
whom he wcasion.illy spent au even
ing. "1 think it Is a shame the way
you treat that young Hankinson. If
I were he I wouldn't let you play fast
and loose the way you tlo. I would
simply come and carry you off."
"If you were he. Mr. Upagain," she
replied, with downcast eyes, "perhaps
it wo'.tldu't be necessary to carry me
off."
Upon which hint Mr. Cpagaln Im
mediately spake, and the invitations
are out. Chicago Tribuae.

AiSTOWA WAV SLEUTH
ODD VOCATION OF AN OLD SAN FF.AN
CISCO BOATMAN.
tie Unas Ills Prer to Water lasteaa
nt to Earth How the ftowaTas
Uet Aboard Ship aad How They
- Generally C oma to Uriel.
1 own by the city's sea wall a queer
man pursues a queer vocation. He Is a
water front "character." aud his busi
ness Is the sleuthing of siowaways.
He doesn't ruu his prey to earth,
however, after the manner of other
hunters of humau game. He runs it to
water.
This weather hardened, wrinkled man
IS at once the terror aud the friend of
would be stowaways. He Is known as
Captain Jack, but bis name has half a
dozen variations, all of which smack of
the salt, salt sea. These are some of
his aliases: Wharf Hat. Water Fowl,
Sea Iog. Whaler. Old Man Jack aud
The Boatman.
His slock In trade consists of his
shrewdness in "spotting a stow" and a
battered but seaworthy old loat which
rides the water by night and day
through successive reasons. The town's
attractions do not lure him from his
loug accustomed haunts among the
masts, figureheads, piers and piles,
Mils. nets, stringers and multitudinous
varieties of merchandise that crowd
the bay's edge.
Captain Jack came out of his sca
shell of reserve long cuough the other
day to tell a bit of what he kuows
aliout that venturesome creature of
chance, the stowaway, who would
fain voyage out of port without the
previous formality of paying for pas
senger privileges.
"I've lecn in this business a 1 ng
time." he said, "au I can geu'rally
spot a 'stow.'
"Different ones ha different meth
ods. Some hangs round the dock
afore a ship sails, offerin to lend a
hand, or pnosin to work a passage
somen lu res. When they fin. I thi
don't go the way they want it to. they
commence to talk big inquire 'bout
sea weather, the cost of a cruise, the
time It takes to git to the islands or
Alaska or Panama. They're always
Just a-goin to make the trip. But
there's somethin so hungry an home
sick an tired lookin aloiit 'em that it
gives 'em dead , away leastways It
docs to a erson who's sjient a good
many years studyin their klmL
"Others, though, wait till the last
minute, then come hustlin along as if
they was too rushed fo buy a ticket
or as If tbey had one lu their pocket.
Why. I've even been asked by 'em to
row Vm out to a ship after she'd got
clear out into the stream. If a skipper
hapens to be good natured. he'll slack
up an take passengers alioard. An
after all that bother I've had to briug
"em back again, for nary a red did they
have.
"This class of deadheads Is gen'rally
supplied with clothes, gripsacks, hat
boxes, steamer truuks, canes, umbrel
las, cameras, foldiu chairs an some
times a servant."
"Not a valet V"
"Sure. That's what we sailors cell
n,uttiu on a terrible lot of dog. Them's
the fellers that always has friends
'uiong guvuors. rajahs, lords, dukes
an consuls, an likewise money to burn
but always across the water some
wheres. 1 dou't mind the men, but I
hate to tackle a woman."'
"Women stowaways?"
"Sure. When the Klondike boom
was on, 1 used to bring iu as many
wotneu as men. Some was ouly
girls little slim things, goin to the
icy gold uiiuis with no more outfit
than the tuiu clothes they stood iu.
"The easiest part of the stow's plan
In makiu an escape is tlie gittin aboard.
Nobody knows who's who the day
a ship's leavin part. If she's crowded
so much the better. The stow can
hide in the hold without bciu spied.
But It's mighty hard to git past the
Heads, for by that time the ship's
becu searched an tiie stows yanked out
on deck."
Captain Jack spoke truly. The
stowaway who passes the Heads has
ruu the gantlet 6afely unless an in
coming vessel be at baud to convey
the Intruder tuick agaiu.
When the liual gong has been sound
til, the warning "All visitors ashore!"
given, the gangplank withdrawn,
the last rope loosened and tlie screw
turned, the vessel's luterior Is care
fully explortnl. Meanwhile Captaiu
Jack's weather beateu boat Is speed
ing in its wake. If a stowaway lie
discovered a sigual is sent from the
pilot's bridge aud Captain Jack is
quickly alongside. A rope ladder Is
lowered, aud toward it the purser or
other officer aud his aids escort the
discomfited "stow."
"Every day." continued Jack. "I
fetch iu men an women that want to
git away. They're broke, au thought
they'd try their luck iu some other
place. I lump most of 'em off at
Melggs' wharf. It's a heap easier for
me an for the stows. There's more
lumber there an fewer folks to stare.
Some of 'em turns out all right, an
some is afterward fished out of the
bay. Then they go to the corouer.
A dead man. it seems, is worth more
to tiie city thau a live one."
Aud thus it is that the stowaways

The numlier of lives lost in the celebra

below the Santiago record, but ths num

greater, and it is essggration to say that

by the casualty record of a single Inde
