Gray in his auger care fully avoided the Pennlson cottage In his walks along the shore. Every after noon, however, as he sat on the piazza of the cacino he saw Helen Dennison and Ilaner.ett dash by in an automo bile, whit J u very probably accounts for Mr. Tll Morlcy Gray's proneness to kno< m'luiu the bay in his catboat, Carrying full sail in a double reef bro« 7.0.

With Judicious kicks he managed to got them apart; then his heart came Into his throat, fat attached to Billy's collar was a bit of violet envelope. Gray snatched it eagerly.

The Deun'n DeHeaey. I)r. Plgoti, the dean of Bristol, had been pointing out the openings iu church work to r.n audience of clerics and lay women of devoted lives. In getting down to specific cases, as he confesses in his book, "Odds and Ends," he said: "Next to opportunity we think of the Instruments fitted to the opportunity. Naturally our thoughts turn to widows who are 'widows indeed,' whom God has taken aside from the world by sor row for a life of devotion to his serv ice." The dean paused. lie urns thinking secondly of unmarried women. Why he did not say uumarried women he cannot understand. He thinks be may have been nervous about using tbe old fashioned word spinster, so he said: "Next we think of those women whose prospects of marriage are slowly fading." There was an instant roar of laugh ter, in which the archbishop and some of the married lay women Joined. The discomfited dean deprecated tbe trti seemly merriment as best he could. But he did not mend matters greatly, for be went on: "Many of whom I hare In my mind's eye." There was another burst of laughter, and I>oan Pigou went hurriedly on to "thirdly."

In the tonsorial establishment of ome of the downtown hostelries the other duy a drummer who knew all the doc tors was being operated upon. Near by a swell barber shop had been set up In business, with plate mirrors, mahog any furniture and the like, and was making a great splash for business. "How's the new barber shop getting on next door?" asked the drummer of one of the barbers. "Oh, so-so," was the reply. "How ever, we manage to keep at work," he added, Just to show tkat though there may be "butters in" competition is the life of trade. "I suppose you do get a few still who don't see the other place," remarked the drummer. By this time the barber was aarcas tlc. "Yes, indeed," he said. "They wan der in here occasionally—a few like yourself, yoti know—and I suppose aft er they get in they don't have nerve eno»';;h to go out." "Not at all, said the drummer.

As she stepped bareheaded into the elevator la a Broadway business build ing all the men in the car admired her wealth of chestnut hair. It towered In a pompadour tier, built up mansard fashion, above her rosy little cheeks. l!ut it glistened suspiciously. There was a smell of brilliantine, benzine or iomething like that. One of those men who cannot go around without a cigar bl.3r.fug as fiercely as the one that Wil liam Gillette used in the famous dark scene of "Sherlock Holmes" got in at the eighth floor and crowded his way behind the girl. Somehow or other the cigar and tbe hair came together and at once gat busy. Tbe pompadour flz ftiet), sputtered and sizzled like a pin wheel.

Uecent URiitii.a of the disappearance i of the $2.50 piece from circulation i and the premium this coin commands I as a curio lias set many to rummaging ' in old pocketbooks and bottoms of cash ! boxes and drawers in search of odd or out of date coins. Some have found a $2.50 piece, but not many. The $3 piece, once quite common, but always a sort of cuHbsity, is oftener found, and many have specimens of the little gold coins representing 25 cents and 50 cents which were not minted by the government and probably have not so much gold in them as they represent. They used to pass as coin, but were never in general circulation, being so easily lost that they soon became scarce. One of the handsomest coin relics seen is a $lO gold piece bearing the mint stamp of 171)9. It is larger than the present $lO piece. The owner has it hung in a band and wears it as a charm on his wateh chain. The own er says lie refused an offer of §l5O for this relic. The old octagonal SSO pieces were quite common In California in early days, when gold dust was largely used as a circulating medium. They were made of pure gold, and, while they had not the elegant finish of the gold coins minted by the government in these days, many still remember them as the handsomest coins they ever saw. Many people now would consider them handsome on account of the SSO In them.—New York Tribune. BURNING THE YULE LOG. The Custom One of Anelent Orlgrin. The Yale Candle. The custom of burning a large log of wood which is known as the Yule log is very ancient in its origin. All through the middle ages every farm house. cottage and castle in England burned its Yule log upon the hearth, the log I>eing dragged in with much ceremony. At Yuletlde when the great log flamed In chimneypiece and laugh and Jest went round. The word "Yule" itself seems to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Geol," meaning December. Earlier still the Yule, or midwinter, feast Is seen in its most flourishing state among the Norse men, who commemorated the fiery sun wheel with a mighty feast. They be lieved that during the twelve nights frotn Dec. 25 to Jan. C they could trace the actual movements of their great Odin, or Odhinn, the god of storms, and other deified beings on the earth. The Yule log, with Its cheery blaze, comes to us across the centuries as a dim memory of the fires lit to celebrate the setting out of the sun on his north ward journey toward the light and warmth of summer. A large candle known as the Yule candle used also to light the Christmas eve festivities. It was a bad omen If the candle burned out before the even ing was at an end.—Detroit Free Press. ALWAYS BE SANGUINE. Keep to the UlKlmari and Slinn the Back Altera »t Life. Keep to the broad highways of hope and cheerfulness. Expect to succeed. Think success, and you will succeed. Keep out of the back alleys of gloom and pessimism. Join the procession of the cheerful, the willing and the hope ful. Be sanguine. Know the pleasures of living. Enjoy the sunshine of hope. Keep away from the scavengers and ragpickers who infest the back alleys of life. Your pessimist is your scaven ger, your ragpicker. He may be a nec essary evil, a boil as it were on the body social, but too much of him is fa tal. He never gave the world a smile. He never contributed to the good cheer of any human being. Ho never lifted the gloom from any distressed soul. He Is the antithesis of progress. He Is the pollvwog which in the evolution of life Is continually dragging backward to ward the slimy past, resisting the prog- ross of development which must go on with or without him. Beware of the encroachments of the carping, pessimistic spirit. It is a hardy plant. It takes root easily in the mind, and, like the thistle, when once It gains a foothold it is well nigh impossible to uproot it, but it cannot live in an at mosphere of sunshine and cheerfulness. Therefore, keep to the highways. Keep out of the back alleys.—Exchange. children's W'clsrht. Some curious experiments have been made at one of the royal philanthropic institutions in Copenhagen.

No. 3. lip THE COTTON BOLL WEEVIL. What the Genuine Weevil la, Hon It Look* and lion It Worki. The cotton boll weevil has attained such notoriety that those who have never seen It may linve some curiosity about the looks of so formidable a pest, while those who seek to shun its ac quaintance will find some hints toward that end in the following by Frederick W. Mally of Texas: The full grown weevils vary In size from three-sixteenths to three-eighths of an lncHi in length. They are quite active when traveling, but tly rather sluggishly. The color of the adult varies some what, depending upon the age of the Weevil examined. A newly transformed weevil is whitish all over. As it gets older the body becomes chocolate in color. The wings at first turn a clear wine color and then darker, later be- Htl * A C .THE COTTON BOLL W EEVIL. IA. adult beetle; B, pupa; C. larva. All enlarged. Vertical lines show actual size. J coming slightly hairy or pubescent. Down the middle of the upper surface of the thorax this pubescence becomes somewhat longer and so dense that it forms a whitish line. Some adults are found whose body color is essentially black instead of a dull chocolate. Again, some are more distinctly light brown. The pubescence soon wears oft somewhat, and then the weevils look darker. This accounts for the frequent confusion among planters as to what the genuine weevil is and how it looks. Th<' .ctive feeding period of the adult weevils is during the day. At night they travel and tly but very lit tle. It has often been noted that a weevil observed in any particular square at sundown Is found within the identical square at sunrise unless dis turbed during the night. During the vigorous growing season of cotton the weevils go about from plant to plant by short sluggish flights. When cotton Is knee high or more. It usually hap pens that they fly only across to the next row before striking another plant, on which they light. Early in spring, when the adults come out from winter quarters, they nre voracious eaters and feed readily on any young cotton to be found. They feed for the most part by getting up among the developing leaf buds be tween the seed leaves, into which they eat, just as they do the young squares later. In spring, before squares are formed on cotton, the weevils often eat a small hole into the tender grow ing portions of the stems or bra. e" --a. Tfc~r h-rc a liable-uf euliug iuiu i' somewhat different from that of eat ing into a square under cover. The end of the stout, slightly curved snout of the weevil is provided with small, clawlike Jaws, with which it actually eats a hole rather than bores it, as the popular notion is. When preparing to feed on any ex posed portions of the plant, the weevil nearly always uses its sharp mandi bles at the end of the snout to rasp the outer bark, so as to enable it to get hold of the ragged ends, which it then deliberately pulls off and lays on one side. After doing this it eats the ten der portions underneath. This process THE WEEVIL'S WOKE.. [A, newly hatched larva In a young square; B, nearly full grown larva; C. pupa In a young boll picked from th« ground.] is comparable to peeling an apple be fore eating it This is not an invariable habit, but prevails in the majority of Instances and is important as bearing upon the methods of poisoning. As loon as squares are formed on the plants the weevils at once attack them and eat holes Into them from behind the shelter of the involucre, or ruffle. When hard pressed for squares to eat, ■mull and even large bolls will be eaten into. Working: Hotter. In working butter never slide the paddle over the surface, as such treat ment injures the grain. The best meth od is to remove the milk by using a gentle downward pressure. Excessive washing is also injurious to the grain and general appearance of the article. Stop churning when the butter fat globules begin to adhere to each other, draw off the milk and wash in two wa ters at About 55 degrees, stirring slowly and no longer than is absolutely neces sary to accomplish the purpose, says tlie American Agriculturist correspond ent. Bookmaker Wouldn't Lend Money, but Gave iiooct AdTlce.

"But I'll bet ?."»00 that I can borrow ,000 from him on my personal re cognizance," said one. "Done!" answered the crowd simul taneously, and as he could only stake one bet they pooled against him. Thinking he had a sure tiling, lie went off with an accompanying committee to see the money lender. "Mr. Cash" (that wasn't his name), he said, "these gentlemen have bet me sooo that I cannot borrow ?t.OOO from you. I don't need the money, but you let me have it for a day, and I'll di vide the bet witli you." The committee gasped, but the effect of the cool proposition was unlocked for. Instead of jumping at the chance Mr. Cash buttonholed his interlocutor and said: "Did you make that bet?" "I did." "You bet f ."><*i thiit you could l orrow money from me?" ' That's what I did." "Then," in a whisper, "go aud Ut dge." —Sew
