BOYS' SAILOR SUIT. *
Pattern No. 3226. —A jaunty sailor
suit such as Is hero pictured, consists
of a blouse with removable shield and
knickerbockers, having the fullness
at the knee confined by elastic-run
casings. A deep sailor collar is part
of the blouse, and the sleeves are
plaited to cuff depth. A slit pocket is
made at the left side of the blous-j
and the knickerbockers have hip
pockets.
The pattern is in 5 sizes—-4 to 12
years. For a boy of 8 years the suit re
quires 3 7-8 yards of material S6
Inches wide, with 5-8 yards of con
trasting material 36 inches wide.
HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS.
For each pattern desired, send 10c
(in stamps only) to this paper. Give
No. of pattern and size wanted.
BREAD ON THE WATERS.
Recompense, Just Like In the Stories
and Plays.
A Cleveland paper tells of a tramp
who came to the back door of a resi
dence and begged for shoes. The mis
tress of the house gave him a good
pair and said to him: "There, put
these on, and If you want to show
your gratitude, just happen around
here some morning after a snowstorm
and clean oft our sidewalk."
Some time after the lady was awak
ened early one morning by some one
scraping the sidewalk in front of the
house. Looking out, she found that
there had been quite a heavy fall of
snow, and there she beheld the tramp
to whom she had given the shoes,
clearing away the snow front the
sidewalk with an old broken shovel.
When he caught sight of his benefac
tress at the window he raised his tat
tered hat to her, and his sylf-imposed
task finished, went away without say
ing a word or even asking for any
thing to eat. Three times the same
thing happened during the winter, but
the man never asked for compensa
tion or food.
A New York woman once invited a
ragged, dirty beggar into her house,
and after he had had a comfortable
meal and some clean clothing she sent
him away with words of encourage
ment, telling him that he was made
for something better than tramping;
that It was a shame for a man of his
apparent intelligence and good health
to be getting a living in such a dis
graceful way.
This lady became embarrassed
financially and was in sore need of
money. She asked a friend where
she could borrow sr>oo, but he could
not accommodate her, nor did he
know of any one who could not. Next
day, to her great astonishment, a
man, total stranger, as she thought,
called at her house and told her that
he had heard she was pressed for
money, and that he hud come to lend
her the amount she needed. With
growing surprise she asked how it
was that a complete stranger, whom
she had never seen, was willing to
trust her. The man then explained
that he was the tramp whom, a year
before, she had taken to her home
and treated like a brother; that her
kindness on that occasion had been
the turning point in his career, had
made a man of him again; that he had
prospered beyond his deserts, and
that ever since he had gotten on his
feet he had been wishing for an op
portunity to show his appreciation of
what she had done for him.
The Rare Gift of Courtesy.
Courtesy includes not merely social
kindness, graces of speech, absence of
rudeness, but honorable treatment of
all business associates, and of all the
fellow-citizens with whom a man of
affairs may have business to transact.
It is not American to keep one citizen
watting all day at the door because he
Is poor, and to grant another citizen
an Interview because It Is believed he
Is rich. Wisdom Is not confined In a
purse, and frequently much wisdom
may be learned from a poor man.
A Strange Survival.
It is Illegal to sing, hum or whistle
the "Dead March" outside of a church
or a cemetery. At one time this law
was very strictly enforced, and even
to-day a soldier found guilty of sing
ing or otherwise rendering the famous
march other than at a military funeral
would be severely censured. —London
Household Words.
Fools get married and wise men
married.—From Lit a.
Immediately sifter each Fourth,
| when people are sobered by the
i long roll of dead and wounded,
| they exlaiin, "Let us have a sane
Fourth next year." But as the
remembrance of the carnage fades
away so fade away the demand for
a sane Fourth, with the result that
when the great national anniversa
ry again comes round there is the
same old sad story to tell.
We all recognize the righteous
ness of the War of Independence
and the invincible patriotism seen
in the willing sacrifice of life and
limb and health in winning the
nation's freedom. We also recog
nize the litness of annually eom
morating the heroic deeds of our
fore-fathers, that the fires of patri
otism may burn with equal ardor
in the breasts of their descendants.
Hut to do that it surely is not nec
essary to engage in practices that
kill, main and bring sorrow to
hundreds of homes every year.
Vet that is what people do when
they fire ofi' giant crackers and
other death-dealing explosives.
Separation of the Sexes.
The separation of the sexes seems
to have been formerly by no means an
uncommon practice in the Church of
England. In fact, Edward Vl.'s pray
erbook specially mentions that at the
communion service "the men shall
tarry on one side and the women on
the other." The papers of a church
in Westmoreland include elaborate
directions for the division of the sexes
at its services. All wedded men were
to be placed first before any of the
young men, and all young wives were
to "forbear and come not at their
mother-in-law's forms"—this was pre
sumably before the days of the pew—
"as long as their mother-in-law lives."
New English Submarine.
A seven loot slnk-or-swim subma
| rine showed good form at a prelim In
' ary trial In an English swimming
bath. Its propeller shaft can be shilt
ed to right or left, thus steering the
boat to port or starboard. On each
side Is a fin, a curved flexible sheet of
alloy. No rubber Is needed, as the
fins and propeller take Its place. By
working the fins like a large fish the
boat goes down deep or comes up to
the surface. The boat is run by elec
tric motors and storage batteries.
Dialogue.
"Teacher, does cocoanuts really
grow on trees?"
"Why, of course, Jacob," was the
answer. "Where did you think they
grew?"
"Why," said he gravely, "I thought
the monkeys laid "fern." London
