THE DAGUERREO
TYPE CASE.
T T S an insult," said John Stone;
I "you shall send them right back.
You're Just ss near a relative as
the Gordons, yet they hare got every
thing, Just because they were there
when your aunt died; and then because
they knew you were entitled to souie
thing. In fact. Just as much as they,
from her estate, have sent you this col
lection of odd and ends."
-'Hush. John; never mind. It's not
worth talking about, and we might as
well make the best of it. Beggars can't
be choosers, you know," sagely re
marked Ul wife.
The cause of this outburst was an
oblong grten pasteboard box, which
had Just arrived, and whose contents,
so Eleanor Stone said, were not worth
the express paid ou it. An accompany
ing note, addressed to Mrs. Stone in
explanation of the box. was as follows:
"Dear Eleanor: I avnd you herewith
what mother. May and I nave picked
out as your share of Aunt Marcia's bc
lorg nRs. They weren't as much as an
ticipated, and we divided the rest
among ourselves, as we had the care of
ber in her last illness. Tour affectionate j
cousin. EFFIE GOBDON."
Eleanor Stone took the note and flung
It In the stove. "So much for my ,
cousin's affection. It's too bad. I know
Aunt Marcia must have had some mon
ey, and as for the bother of her last ill
ness, it was self-sought, which makes
me doubly sure she left something, for
the Gordons are not the kind to put
themselves out for nothing. If we only ;
had Just a little of ber money to tide i
us over until you get well and put us on
our feet again."
Aunt Marcia was Miss Marcia Per
kins, a maiden great-aunt of Eleanor
Stone, who had lived somewhat as a
recluse and who had recently died.
Eleanor turned the box upside down,
gazing regretfully at the little heap on
the table. There was an old-fashioned
bone hairpin, two bits of lace, sur
mounted with lavender bows, such as
old ladies wear for caps, two or three
cheesecloth dusters, Ave handkerchiefs,
a hair-ring, and an old-fashioned
daguerreotype in a rusty black and gilt
case, showing the faded countenance of
a genteel-looking youth of past date.
"There," said Mrs. Stone, derisively.
"Is my share of my late lamented aunt's
estate, and here am I, who expected a
hundred or two, anyway, as bard up
as anybody could be, with John sick
and unable to work, while Annt Susan,
Effie and May Gordon, who know noth
ing of hard times, are probably basking ,
In the sunshine of her dollars."
At this point, being of a philosophical
turn of mind, she gathered up her In
heritance, put It away in the closet, and
devoted herself to her husband, who
lay grumbling on the sofa, a victim Id
the clutches of rheumatism.
Several weeks later Eleanor was
brooding over the financial situation,
when the bell rang, and an elderly man
stood at the door. He Introduced him
self as "Mr. Clavers." and said that
being the Gordons' family lawyer, and
happening to be in town that day, he
bad come at their request to ask a little
favor.
"Would Mrs. Stone care to part with
a little old-fashioned daguerreotype the
Gordons bad sent her In a box of things
that were Miss Perkins'?"
Eleanor's curiosity and suspicions
were aroused by the sudden desire for
this worthless relic of former days. Mr.
Clavers explained that the ladles bad
taken a fancy for It, as an antique
merely. They would be quite willing to
purchase it, and If a $10 bill would be
any object - -
"No," answered Eleanor, spurred on
to refusal by a sudden conviction. ' I
didn't get many of my aunt's things,
but what I did I shall keep," where
upon she arose and politely but unmis
takably bowed the astonished old gen
tleman out.
Then site hurried to the closet, and,
rummaging around, soon found the
box. and in It the daguerreotype case.
This she opened and began to scratch it
all over with her thumbnail and to fin
err its surface carefully, lioplng, all the
while, that she had not let a 910 bill go ;
for nothing.
It might really be a whim of Aunt
Susan's, after all. to want the old thing,
yet somehow It seemed to Eleanor that
she bad once heard Aunt Marcia speak
of a daguerreotype case with a secret
spring and false back which was a
much prized possession, the gift of a
dear friend.
Suddenly she gave a gasp and John
looked up from his couch In time to
see something white flutter to the floor.
Forgetting his rheumatism, he sprang
from the sofa and stood, reading over
Eleanor's shoulder a bit of writing on
a scrap of paper that meant much to
those two.
"I, Marcia Perkins, hereby glye to the
person who. after my death, become
the owner of the daguerreotype of Jo
seph Thurston, in the case of which
this paper will be placed by me, the
lum of $2,500."
That was as far as they went, !"
Mid Eleanor.
"Hum," said John, and there was a
lilence for as many as three seconds.
"Go on," said John.
"It's nothing more about us. It's only
that he," waving the placidly pictured
young man, "was her lover. He was
drowned at sea, and ber house and oth
er belongings are to be sold and the
money Is to go to the Seamen's Or
phans' fund.
"So Effie and the others will bars to
clve up what they have already takes
possession of, and Instead of every
thing will have nothing."
";mhI enough." concluded John, in a
satisfied tune, -provided this paper la
perfectly legal. Thought they could
slight you entirely, but Instead they
made a mess of it themselves by giving
you a cast-off. Insignificant-looking
trinket, which happened to be the most
valuable thing your aunt left after all."
"If everything is only tamed ever to
us without any trouble," co eluded his
wife. "To think of tbelr pretending
be didn't leave anything.
Them was little trouble over the mat
ter, the paper being dated, signed, and
witnessed. Thus the Gordons reluc
tantly taw their knowledge of the
tagnerreotype's secret came too late,
while the Stones, with Its aid. were
enabled to buy a pleasant little home,
where, secure from "bard times," they
enjoy life together, the daguerreotype
case occupying the place of honor.

Elactrleal Derlea for Wlaafag a Dice
ale by aa Md Tabla.
Among the battered flotsam and Jet
sam that has accumulated In a second
hand store la New Orleans, says the
Times-Democrat, Is a shabby round
table with a carious secret, and bo
doubt a still more curious history. The
top was once covered with green bill
iard cloth, which Is worn to tatters
and discloses a steel plate set In the
center and perhaps ten Inches square.
The whole top is loose and can be re
moved, revealing an Interior space con
taining a horseshoe magnet wound
with wire and connected with an arma
ture very much like that of an ordinary
telegraph Instrument A close examin
ation shows an insulated wire running
down one of the legs to a small knob
or button, protruding on the outside.
When the top is In place the steel plate
rests directly over the magnet.
This strange device ' Is explained
clearly enough by Its present owner."
"It is a dice table," be said, "on which
a lot of money has been won. When it
was in order there was a good-sized
battery Inside connected with the mag
net. When the knob on the leg was
pressed the current was turned on, and
i that made the steel plate magnetic. The
' dice they used with it bad small metal
disks on one face, and as long as the
! current was on they naturally fell that
i side down. When the knob was re
leased they would Tall any way thej
chanced to come, so all that was neces
! sary for the operator to do was to keep
i bis knee on the button and he could

Yonnar Lawyer Gets Even with an Old

A physician-and a lawyer occupying
rooms in the same large downtown
building met not long ago In the lobby.
The lawyer has only bad his shingle
out for sixnnonths, while the physlcan
has been practicing for many years.
Consequently the physician Is inclined
: to use a condescending manner toward
the young lawyer, and the young law-
' yer respects the physician as a nun
! who has made his mark.
"You should do something for that
' cold," the physician said. v
"What?" asked the lawyer res pen -
i fully, from force of habit.
Tbe physician made a few remarks
about the treatment of colds as they
rode up in tbe elevator. The other day
: the lawyer received a bill for "services
rendered" blm by the physician. By
this time he bad forgotten that he ever
had a cold or that he had met the phy
sician and listened to advice on colds b?
cause it is polite to do so. With the
bill in his hand he sought out tbe phy
sician, who explained tbe matter, say

was convenient for him. Not wishing
to make an enemy of the young lawyer,
he talked of business and business diffi
culties for half an hour, drawing the
young man out and giving him a chance
to talk.
The next day the physician received
a check for $1 in payment of the bill

WHY WOMEN DON'T MARRY.
fleanona Give by One Who Kaowa
the Men of To-day.
There Is a good deal of discussion
orer tbe fact that many women do not
marry. In fact one would almost Imag
ine that It Is only the men who marry
nowadays. There Is a reason for it, of
course, and there seems to be an effort
an the part of many to find It out. Some
say it la because she Is "too vain," oth
ers that she is "too extravagant." "too
mercenary," "too modern." However,
Winifred Black throws a few Interest
ing side lights on the subject, many of
which show the color of truth. She
ays:
"The modern woman doesn't marry
because the right man doesn't ask her.
Women to-day are just aa anxious to
9e married as their grandmothers were;
sensible, honest women are living to
day, and the man who wants to marry
one of them can do so, but they are not
looking for that kind of woman. A
man falls In love with an empty-headed,
heartless doll for her pretty face,
snd then complains because he finds
the doll's head Is hollow. When a man
chooses a sweetheart because, she
wears 'dead swell' clothes, and then
falls to lamenting over the cupidity of
woman when that same girls aaks him
what bis revenue is before she decides
about loving him be Is not quite as logi
cal as be might be. Now, is he, really?
"Any woman worth marrying will
marry the man ahe loves even If be
can't scrape up money enough to pay
the minister. She may not be happy
with him after she marries him, but It
will not be his poverty that makes her
miserable. The great law of natural
selection holds Its sway with the just
aa well aa with tbe unjust. Tou can't
educate the human nature out of a
woman any more than you can refine
it out of a man.

THE FLOOD OF PATENTS.
Article of Fwerr-Dax TJa Baajact
of Ttaoaaaada of Istwcatiaaa.
"It la becoming harder every year for
a man to get out a succeeaful Inven
tion," remarked a patent attorney.
The other day I was In Washington
and my work required me to search the
old patent list. The thing that attracted
my attention was the great number of
patents taken out on common, every
day articles. Why, they are so covered
with patents that It seems absolutely
Impossible for an Inventor to make any
improvement upon them without In
fringing upon somebody else.
"For Instance, take knives, forks and
spoons. How many patents do you
suppose are taken out on these three
articles of every -day necessity? A
dozen or two? Why, bless you, they are
protected by 2,103 patents. Then take
broms and scrubbing brushes. Xou
wouldn't think that any number of
geniuses could Invent more than a hun
dred Improvements upon aucb things.
Well, there are patents for them to the
number of 3,184. It seems ridiculous,
doesn't It? It did to me, and for a time
I thought I would go home and advise
everyone of my clients to give up the
inventing business.
"I bad the curiosity to go a little
deeper Into the subject and I made a
record of tbe number of patents taken
out en other email things. Games and
toys are protected by 4,468 different
patents. But, of course, that can be
overlooked, for games and toys are as
varied aad uncertain aa our winter
weather. The laundry business Is
hedged In pretty well with patents, for
there are 7,633 taken out on various
laundry articles. Burglars ought nev
er to be able to get through our locks
and latches, for they are protected by
5.976 patents; but then this Is partly
offset by 4,299 patents for saws and
sawing apparatus which burglars
might use for destroying locks. Alto
gether, however, the farmer seems to
be the man for whom the Inventors
have labored most. There are 60,000
patents recorded which in one way or
another tend to benefit tbe farmer. It
must be that this is a pretty fertile and
profitable field for tbe Inventor, or else
he would not devote so much time and
labor to it
"Manufacturing Interests of all kind
are pretty well loaded down with pat
ents. In the furniture trade alone there
are 4,854 patents to protect the busi
ness outside of those which pertain to
chairs. These latter necessary articles
for the home are covered with over 500
patents. When you take up a piece of
paper to write a letter you probably do
i!ot realize that the manufacture of
stationery Is handicapped, or protect
ed, whichever way you please to put It,
by 4,532 patents. That fact ought to
make one careful how he attempts to
Invent a new style of envelone. blotter
or writing paper. He would have to be
a remarkable genius to get around all
of these and establish a clean bill of
neaitb Tor his Invention.
"When I look at one of the Ull build
ings In the city In the course of con
struction I stop now and view It with
more Interest than I ever did Woe.
That builder has had a host of Invent
ors laboring to make his work easier.
ms cranes and derricks are protected
by 596 patents, the roof be may put on
has 665 patents and the elevators he
may put In the building have 1,638 pat
ents. Then the stone workers who
carve the front for him use tools which
are covered by 2,188 patent. 1 suppose
ir the builder had to stop aad think of
all this he would not be able to finish
a patent attorney must
know lf-New York Bun.
