Wooing Sally Plum B, LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY Copyright, 1910, bj AtioclaMd Liuru? I'teu The records of the Plum family tear witness that Sally Plum, as a baby, a child and a young girl, wan different from others. She was se date and serene from the first. She vent through scarlet rash and whoop ing cough and measles without a compiulnt. sue bad no use for rag dolls and play houses. She did not climb trees nor play marbles with the boys. At the age of sixteen Sally attended a Sunday school picnic which lasted all day. The only time during the day she was heard to utter a remark gg when a woman asked her if she wasn't sorry she came. She replied: 'Tes, ma'am," and that was all. It was because Sally was 80 dif ferent from other girls that her grandfather left her $20,000. He also left Sally's widowed mother half that amount. The two lived In a Tillage and were the richest persons Id It. Besides being odd and different, Gaily was plain of face and rather awkward of figure. At twenty she fjatl never thought love nor talked It. No young man had walked with her. She bad never read a novel, and she did not know the meaning of romance. 6be cooked and washed and Ironed and baked and sewed carpet rags, and as serene. What's going to happen to a plain girl who inherits $20,000? She's going -tS. I ill omr Z7ce- to have offers of marriage, of course more offers than a good-looking girl without any cash. Sally Plum began to have offers. The first came from Deacon Harper. The deacon was fifty, had four children, and was looking around for a good thing. He Bropped in to court Sally. The toother left them together a whole evening, and the only words Sally Jittered during the three long hours as In reply to the deacon's question M to why she was so silent. She thought for a moment and then re-tilled: "Caune I've got a stone bruise on tey heel ! " The deacon didn't rellnaulsh his plans, but he felt tired. The merchant of the village was an 14 bachelor. He had known Sally for years and years. Considering that WMloo, with the additional fact that nr mother owned her house and that lie could live there rent free, It wouldn't be a bad match for him. He also went wooing. Sally was cut ting carpet rags that evening. She and sewed and wound them into balls, and he talked and talked. He lad been to New York, Boston and Chicago. He had seen a man hung. He had almost seen a mad dog. His brother John had been rohhtwl on th highway. All these things be men tioned In hope of drawing Sally out. 8he didn't draw. She kept the same sober face and silent Hps from start to finish. There were times when aha JookPd at the man, but what's a look? The merchant worked harder to draw Sully out and break the ice than ne ever had to sell $r,00 worth of goods, but not a word from her until bad his hat in his band to go. Then she made a long speech, for her. She asked: 1 "Did the man you saw bung kick found much?" The third candidate waa William 8lmms. He was twenty-three years 14 and worked In a sawmill. Ha was Plain-faced young man and not ttuch given to talk. He came court to with a small package in his band, 4 when left alone with Sally he landed her the package with the remark: "Some spruce gum that I got oft the logs this afternoon." , Sally accepted and began to chew. She was knitting that evening. Mr. Stmms canted bis halr back on lta bind legs against tho vail and said nothing further. He bad killed a big black snake In the mill yards that day, but he didn't mention it. He had heard at the postofTtce that a trolley car in Philadelphia had run oft the track and killed five passen gers, but he didn't repeat it. In fact, he dozed and nodded and slept, and It was the clock striking 10 that aroused him. Sally bad knit and chewed and had a real good time. "Bring you some more gum some time," said Mr. Stmms as he rose up and yawned and took his departure. "Qum's good," was Sally's reply as she shut the door after him. The fourth man came from a village ten miles away. He was a lawyer, about thirty years old. He was talk ative and up to date. He made an afternoon call. He decided that Sally was plain, but that tho $20,000 was good. He had traveled, and he set out to arouse the girl's Interest and curiosity. He told her of Niagara Falls the great cities the fine hotels ocean steamers London Paris. She looked at him in amazement, and he was flattering himself that he was making a great impression when she opened her mouth and asked: "Did you ever see a cow fall down on the ice on the mill pond In win ter?" He never had. He acknowledged that he never had, and Miss Sally Plum had no further use for him. She went out into the garden to weed the onion bed, and there was nothing for the lawyer to do but take his de parture. Then the fifth man came. He was a clerk from a store In another vil lage. He was up on dress and eti quette. He was smooth of speech. He brought a bouquet with him. He raised his hat to Sally and again to her mother. He found them on the veranda, both sewing. He ex tracted a scented handkerchief from his pocket and did a lot of small talk. He alro flattered both women. He was getting along bravely, when the mother withdrew. He began to talk about the poets, to see if Sally's approachable Bpot lay in that direc tion, and after a long hour she in terrupted him to ask: "Were you ever bit by a hyena?" He riever bad been, and there was no call for the girl to say more. Then Deacon Johnson returned. He felt that be had not been explicit enougn. He returned to say that In case of marriage he should buy a gtlt-framed mirror for the parlor, and that the bridal tour should Include Niagara falls. He bad never been there him self, but had talked with a man who had, and be was going on to tell of the awful majesty when Miss Sally Interrupted blm to ask: "Deacon, do you believe that 'tater bugs burrow Into cucumbers?" Then back came Mr. Simms. With out any previous warning be drove up in a one-horse wagon, banded Sally another package of spruce gum and Bald: "We are going over to Scottsville to the circus." Sally got ready without a word. On the six-mile drive hardly a word was spoken. She chewed gum and he whistled the air of a hymn. When they arrived in the town be bought gingerbread and root beer. In the menagerie they walked from cage to cage, and Mr. Simms briefly ex plained: "Lion here." "This is a Bengal tiger." "Blamed hyena here." "Elephants over there." While witnessing the circus per formance they had peanuts and lem onade. The clown was funny, but Mr. Simms and Sally sat there as solemn as owls. The riding and tumb ling were good, but they made no comments. When the circus was out, Mr. Simms handed over some more spruce to replace the "cud" thrown away to eat the peanuts, and they Jogged home. Two weeks passed, and Mr. Simms called at the house to say: "Sally, I shall get the preacher next week." She didn't reply for a minute, and then said: "William, them hyenas was aw ful." "Yep." "But the peanut was fine." "Next week, Sally." And Sally plum was wooed and won. Any one could have got her and her $20,000 bad they studied her. She was different, you know."

AMERICAN BOYS LIKE THE SCOUT MOVEMENT Lfe Iff wife THE boy scout Idea, adopted from England, where It was started by General Baden-Powell, baa "caught on" in the United States and the movement Is spreading rapidly over the country. The American Hoy Scouts are or ganized In many places and their numbers are Increasing. The lads like the work and their ciders are quick to appreciate the Immense benefit the boys get out of the training and drill that keep them off the streetH and out of mischief.

SMARTEST ARMY DOG Accomplishments of Cupid Are Many and Increasing Rapidly. Little Boston Terrier, Owned by Capt. Oscar J. Charles, Knows All About West Point Does Many Tricks. New York. Capt. Oscar J. Charles. Seventeenth United States Infantry, adjutant of the United States Military academy at West Point, Is the owner of the siuurtest dog In the army. Cupid Is the dog's name and Boston terrier his breed. What he does not know about the army In general and West Point In particular Is not worth telling. To tell tho truth about Cupid would fill a book, for certain It Is that thlB little Boston terrier can do more tricks and understand more words than any other dog, big or lit tle, the army has known. When Captain Charles was married a little more than a year ago, a friend in Chicago, his borne city, sent him Cupid, and straightaway Captain Charles started to educate hlra as no other dog was ever educated before. Cupid's accomplishments are therefore already many and varied. "Now, about your education, do you want to go to Harvard?" Captain Charles will ask. Cupid merely wags his stump of a tail and looks disgusted. "How about Yale?" Captain Charles asks. Still no reply. Captain Charles suggests in turn Cornell, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Chi cago and several other Institutions. Cupid only Indicates bis mild disap proval. "Well, then, how about Annapolis?" Captain Charles asks, and Cupid growls, to show that he is Insulted. He knows that West Point's greatest rival Is the academy on the Severn. "All right, we'll cut out Annapolis, then. Will you go to West Point? How does that " Captain Charles does not have a chance lo finish the sentence. Cupid wags his little tall and barks so Joy- Hobble Skirt Race. New York. Mrs. Sarah King of Brooklyn will shortly receive a tall sliver 'cup as the winner of the "100 yard hobble skirt championship of Greater New York." A rare for the trophy was the result of a seashore outing at North Beach, L. I., the other day. The promoters announced In their program to the contestants thnt wom en desiring to enter "who are not equipped with hobble skirts will be hobbled with ropes until they are fully as uncomfortable as it dressed In the height ot faahlon." Mrs. King was the winner ot the 100-yard hobble with only seven tumbles. No time was taken. fully that he can be heard in the Of ficers' club, half a mile away. Then Cupid proves that even a dog can master the drill regulations. "Walk your post," commands Cap tain Charles, and Cupid, his tall rigid and head to the front, marches sol emnly back and forth on the porch. '"Tentlon," orders Captain Charles, and Cupid stops in bis tracks ond re mains as rigid as a statue until Cap tain Charles says "At ease." "Double time" Is tho next command, and Cupid does a hundred yards In about five seconds. "Take your post, sir," is the final command, and the dog marches sol emnly across the room and seats him self on the discarded sofa pillow that serves as his couch. "Now, Cupid, show them how you act when you are on the train," says Captain Charles, whereupon Cupid sits up and tries to look like a drum mer reading the sporting edition of en afternoon newspaper. Then slowly Captain Charles calls off the names of the stations between Weehawken and West Point. "Englewood, West Nyack, Haver straw, lona Island, Highland Falls." Cupid poyB no attention. "West Point?" shouts the captain. Cupid Jumps up, emits a loud bark, and runs down the steps Into the yard Just as he would do In alighting from a train. Of course, Cupid can walk on his hind legs, he can play "dead dog," he can beg for his .food, and do nil the other tricks which smart dogs are supposed to do. He Is learning new ones now, some of them so far be yond the capabilities of the ordinary run of dogs that It would bo foolish to indicate what they are, If you wunt to keep a reputation for telling the truth. .

Plans are making for the expected visit of the young prince ol Wales to the United Stas, a tout that recalls the travels of the lat King Edward, then prluce of Wales to America. Edward's swlns around tho Yankes circle was a continuous march of tri umphs, his democratic ways winning plnudlts and friends In every city In which he visited. The coming travels westward of ths boy prince are exciting great Interest In England for the reason that al though his father, King Gporse V., "saw" Amprlca, he did not get so In timate a view of the land of the free as did Edward. King George was entertained In America as tho prince of Wales also but he had arrived only on Its post ern shores In command of tho Eng lish fleet participating in a Canadian celebration and did not go Into the Interior. In fact, he did not leave the fleet, as he merely took pnrt In BoBton and New York rerpptlons to members of the fleet and then sailed away. .

Port Hope, Alaska. The Interment In the Episcopal burying ground here, under the direction of BtHUop P. T. Rowe, of the skulls and bones of an estimated number of 1,200 Eskimos, picked up on the surface of the ground, where they bad lain for years, and perhaps centuries, has aroused un usual Interest. All along the shores of the Arctic this apparently heartless custom of leaving the dead a prey to wolves and half wolf dogs has prevailed from time Immemorial. There Is nothing that more Im presses the Arctic traveler than these ever present skulls as they stare out from their dark moBS beds on tho frozen bills of the northland. Some ot them have kept their long vigils through centuries and crumble at the touch like chalk. Others are startling- FINDS CAUSE OF PELLAGRA Recent Investigation by New York Scientist Said to Prove Maize Theory Erroneous. New York. One great result of the Investigation 1 which Doctor Sambon has been .conducting of pellagra In Italy, says the Fost-Graduate, Is the overthrow of the maize theory wblcb for over a century has hampered a proper Investigation of the disease. He entirely repudiates the maize theory. Pellagra la not due to the eating of Indian corn either sound or damaged. He has ascertained In the moat definite manner that, like other endemic diseases, pellagra baa Its own peculiar geographical and topo graphical distribution. In each one ot the affected provinces the disease presents special "stations" or "endemic fool," characterized every where by the same topographical and ecological conditions.' These "sta tions" 'bave remained the same tor at least a century. According to Doctor Sambon pella gra Is linked to the running stream Just as malaria Is linked to the swamp. He has shown that the sandfly (Slmu llum) explains the epidemiology of pellagra Just as the mosquito (Anop heles) explains that of malaria. Al ready last winter before leaving Eng land he had suggested the Slmullum as the probable carried ot the. pellagra Infection. Now, after a careful sur vey ot the pellagra districts of Italy, be states that be has been able to establish quite conclusively the truth of bis surmise. SHARK MEAT IS A DELICACY Learned Men Attending, fisheries Ses sions Point to It aa Hard Times Expedient. ' New York. Shark meat la a dainty of high quality, according to the savants who are here .attending the seselona of tbe American Fisheries so ciety. They declare that tbe creatures ly fresh from the framework of the living. The custom of leaving the dead on the Arctic hilltops to be the food of savage beasts 1b natural and unavoid able. The digging of a grave In the far north, even In summer, with the tools poBsessed Dy tho Eskimos was next to Impossible, for evon In July the ground Immediately beneath the moss that covers the surface every where is frozen as hard as granite Even where no underground Ice Is found the Eskimos would consider tbe making of a grave a cruel proceeding, for the thought of having to lie In Icy water Is unbearable to an He k Imp. Sc the dead are left on the dry hilltops. Although tbe dead are left on their mossy bet's underneath the unpro tectlng stjrs, It must not be thought that there la no sorrow when death visits an Eskimo village. There are no more affectionate people In the world, but their grief, like that of chil dren. Is acute and is soon over with. are quite edible, and that It la only a iuuiibu prejudice wnicn keeps them from being served as a delicacy. One scientist said be prefers shark to lobster. Prof. Theodore Clll do clares that shark meat broiled has "a flavor as fine aa anything ,hii, from tho water." Several ot the dele ms expressed me belief that ths cultivation of the shark as a food flub might do much to aolva tha ---- I'lwumms of the higher cost of living. - A discussion of caviar occupied one of the sessions for three hours. Dr Louis Husakoff, assistant curator ol cniuyoiogy oi me American Museum of Natural History, aald that most ol the caviar sold In this country was made from the roe of the Mississippi spoonbill, und not from tbe sturgeon. He reassured consumers, however, by the assertion that the Imitation prod- net la "aa good as or possibly bettei than the genuine." Everything Sounds Good Then.

The subject of the proposed school -rode occupies a prominent part In Hie annual report of Dr. N. V, Schaeffer, State Superintendent ol Public Instruction, which was iu luado public hern. Dr. Schaeffer does not show verj much favor of the 'dea of creating a State Board of Education. Hi spcaKB of tlie subject at leuglh and declares that It would cause delay in securing action on qufnUon which are now decided promptly. : Dr. Sliaefter says there is a di vision of opinion on the subject o creating a State board, remarking: "Those who favor a State board claim that such a board would unify i lie system, as well as work otln .desirable chanties. Philadelphia has 'always been adverse to coming uu- der the State school system, an1 jwlien the last Legislature was cou- sldering this question, the leader promptly eliminated the Fhiladel phia Bchools from the Jurisdiction, of the proposed State Board of Edu cation.

If, on thq other hand, such a board Is an un necessary adjunct to the State schoo. department and a hindrance to the local administration of the schools, then It would be unwise to create; such a board, even though a ma jority of the States have seen fit to limit the power of the local authori ties by some central authority abova the department of public Instruction."
