" "There was §• con siderablo ta 1 k in the lpearance there and be gan his work Sensation. Ho made his en try accompanied by his father, a stock holder in the paper, and the business manager, and was introduced to the city editor. While they were chatting the oldest reporter in the room, a chronic kicker, growled: 44 We11, hero comes another favorite to be foisted upon the city man. lle'll be a pot, of course; his old man is a stockholder and lias got money to burn." Further controversy and retort was interrupted by the approach of the city editor, who left his desk to introduce Clarence Holt to the members of the staff, who greeted him according to their various dispositions. Young Ilolt returned to the editor's desk, and, his father and the business manager having gone, lie said to the latest addition to the staff of the Sen sation: "I believe you have had some little experience in writing 1 ?" "I have done no news work, but have written some stories for publication which have been published and paid for." When he said "paid for" he put a bit of emphasis on the words. "When your father first broached the subject of your coming- here he gave mo some samples of your work to read. Your descriptive powers are Very good and you have a keen sense of humor. "Now what I most need on my staff is a good writer of special articles. Now, if you can produce rapidly and graphically, you can begin your ca reer well up the ladder, although I shall make some deadly enemies on the staff by giving you the opportun ity. "In the exigency of daily publication you must do rush work, but not poor work. You will not havo time or op portunity for re-writing and polishing as the great lights of literature are presumed to lavish on their efforts." Clarence Ilolt nodded his head and the editor further said: "Hut you have one thing to encour age you, and you can well afford to serve an apprenticeship and stand the eternal grind. It is only a mere mat ter of time when you will have a paper of your own, and your father is well fixed—has money to burn." "I've come hero to learn the way. and will succeed if it is in me to, but don't you think that to start off you are overestimating my abilities? I want to be taken for what I am. and for what l ean do. Don't let my father's interest in this paper cut any llgurc with you." "Good! Now, what I want you to do is to go to the Olympic theater and interview one of the chorus girls. You must find one who has an interesting life history, something on the ro mantic." The comic opera of "Cupid" had proven a success, and every bod}' he was to meet was in the best of humor, shaking hands with the others—and himself. Now it happened that the author of the libretto was a journalist, and lie immediately came to the new report er's rescue with: "Just hold on a little, while I run around a bit. I've had a heap of expe rience in this sort of thing and I may be able to help you out." Pretty soon the author came back und said: "By Jove, I've found her, and she's as pretty as a poach. The stage man ager knows all about her; comes of a good family; once had plenty of money *'■ / Q' _' m n i jl THE STAGE MANAGER INTRODUCED IIKU. —money to burn—haven't got it now. Father dropped it some way. Hang around and I will point her out to you. Why, there she is, that stately-looking creature. Superb!" The stage manager brought the young lady forward and introduced her. "Miss Ethel Allen." "Mr. Holt, of the Sensation." Miss Allen and Mr. Holt said some thing about "pleased to meet" and the success of the opera, and, of course, referred to the weather. The stage manager put an end to the talk by calling the next scene, and the rehearsal proceeded rapidly with sug gestions from the author and composer. When the rehearsal was over Ethel Allen came shyly up to Clarence Holt, and said: "Now, Mr. Newspaperman, I am at your mercy." "As this is about meal time and you must be hungry," he replied, "I sug gest that I walk along with you to your borne, if you have no objection, as you know it is part of my errand to see you , chorus girls at homo." The pair walked a block in awkward ; silence, for Clarence Holt was rather a | bashful fellow, and the situation was a novel one. Ethel Allen was the first to break the ice. "Have you been a journalist long?" i The young man laughed outright ut the question. 44 1 make my start as a reporter to day." The young lady laughed, too. Before another block was gone Eth el Allen was telling something of her self and her family, speaking mostly j of her parents. "Papa was very well off ODCO and in a prosperous business. By a bit of sharp practice, which I cannot under stand, a partner of his in u transaction i managed to make the money and leave papa in the lurch, a broken man, just at the time that he thought of retiring. "As the saying goes, there was a great 'come down' for the Allen fami ly, and father had to go clerking and begin life all over again. In all his distress he managed to educate me. I am fond of music, blessed with a voice, and here I am, a member of the chorus of 'Cupid.' " "Why, indeed, this is a romance in real life," said the reporter. <4 lt may bo a romance to you, but it is a realty to mo," said the girl, with a tinge of sadness in her voice. The Allen family hud already dined, and the chorus girl's father enter tained the reporter in the parlor with a precise account of the financial ruin and the direct cause that led to it. Clarence Ilolt made copious notes, and informed the defrauded merchant. "I've got the whole transaction down to a dot. Could you favor me with the name of the villain that wronged you?" "That would he libelous, you know, and would involve your paper in liti gation." "Oh, yes," exclaimed the new re porter. 4, 1 see that would never do; the story is strong enough without the name." Clarence Holt had been invited to dine, but hud declined. It was not his dining hour, but he wanted to see Miss Allen "for a few more questions." When the girl of the chorus ap peared lie forget nil about the ques tions, but lie said, Instead, how pleased he had been to moot her father, who bad "suffered such wrongs at the hands of an unprincipled scoundrel." There was fire in his eye as he added: "But I'll show him up in n way that will make him wince." There was an unusual demand for the Sensation the next morning, such an extra call that the man in the count ing-room at last hud his curiosity so much aroused that he aslccd: "What makes the Sensation go so this morning?" "Why, ain't you on to it?" said a purchaser. "You'll hear from it soon enough. .lust read this article: 4 A Chorus Girl's Romance.' .lust skip the first rart of It and get down to the digging up of a skeleton, an exposure of how old man Allen, the girl's fa ther. was done out of his fortune. The whole town has got it, and there'll be the deuce to pay in your office. You hear me?" When the business manager came in he was frothing at the mouth like a mad dog and the language that he used was dreadful. "Send the city editor to inc," he screamed, "the moment ho arrives!" Angry voices were heard in the man ager's privuto room, but the senior Holt was doing the most of the sweur ing. When the city editor arrived he was summoned, and he responded promptly and appeared before the council. Ilolt, senior, was the spokesman. Thrusting forth the paper, he de manded: "Who wrote thi:#artlclo?" "Your sou," was the answer, "the best first attempt I ever paw; you should be proud of it and him." The rich Mr. Ilolt, the man with money to burn, sunk into his chair and gasped for breath; after awhile he managed to stammer: "That—is—all." A prolonged hush fell over the as sembly; it was an awkward spoil of silence. With an effort the rich Mr. Ilolt spoke as if in apology: "It was a business transaction, that was all. I got the best of the bargain, nothing more. If I robbed Allen, where is the law to punish me?" Everyone present knew how skill fully ho had kept within legal bounds and cut of the reach of the law. As he stumbled out he turned and whispered, liorasely: "For God's sake, gentlemen, not a word of this to my son." Clarence Holt had been told that the article was a suoccss, and thereafter lie accepted many important assign ments, all of which he filled with cred it to himself and the papar. The city editor kept him busy with special stories, and when his father died and he inherited a fortune he was financially and practically ablo to cm bark in newspaper publication on his own account. Up to this time ho had kept up his ! acquaintance with Ethel Allen and saw her advance step by step until she became the prima donna of the Olympic. Then he asked her to retire from the stage and become an editor's wife. Even the manager, who was at first almost inconsolable at the thought of parting with a treasure, became recon ciled to the wisdom of her choice and course. "After all, it is the best for both of tliera. Ethel Allen is a jewel with beauty and virtue, and Clarence Holt is as good as tiiey make them; be- ! sides, he's got money to burn."—Jour nalist. —Farmer (to young trespasser)— "What are you doing under the tree with that apple?"

Then the de ceitful old turkey-hen will try to look so unconscious! She just goes on pluck ing at the grass and weeds, slowly turning first one way and then another in an aimless fashion; and when she is sure yoif arc watching her, she will lead you back and forth, around and ; around, sometimes for half a mile, j Yet—would you believe it"?—right here, 1 near by, along the fence in a clump of j grass, or under some dried brush, or j perhaps in the middle of the pear I orchard, with never a thing to mark | the spot, or in a tangle of blackberry ! bushes in the old graveyard on the cool i moist earth is a nest of speckled eggs! \ But take care! I)o not for the world put your hand in the nest! You must j take those eggs out with a frqfh, clean ! spoon—turkeys arc "mighty partic'- i lar," as the colored people say; but if j you don't take them the crows or the | setter dog will. You must leave her a j "nest egg," of course, and above all j things the hen must not see you do ! this, for you and she are playing at hide-and-seek. Some day you will find her sitting on j the nest, crouched down close to the I ground, with u scared look in her pretty ' brown eyes. Don't say a word; trip : noiselessly away, and late that evening give her hack those speckled eggs, slip ping them under her with your hand. She will pluck you, hut do not mind that; you and she will be friends some day. Once I made u turkey sit in a hen house where there was many u rat ! hole. She had been on the eggs four ! weeks when little turkey voices were! heard beneath her and little- turkey I heads peeped out from among her I breast feathers. When I took her up i by both wings such plucking and pick- j ing and scratching us she did! I looked, J and behold! not a turkey chick was | there. The little things just out of | the shell, obeying the wild instinct of ! their nature, had "scooted" in the ; twinkling of an eye, leaving a nest of 1 empty shells. I hunted all over the ' henhouse, but no sight or sound of i them could be heard, but, as I turned j away, 1 heard the old hen calling soft ly; then, more softly stiH, came the i answers, and from ratholes, from wisps I M (rl m . l\l '''' ; ''''' HIS HIGHNESS, TIIK QOBItI.KK. of scattered straw, from chips, from cracks and from corners the little ones came creeping back to the nest. I caught them, though, after all, and did as an old woman told inc. With my finger nail I scratched off the little "pip" at the end of ouch tiny bill, and, holding the little turkey firmly and placing a finger in the bill to k cp it open, I crammed the little pip -which looks like a piece of meal husk—and a whole grain of black pep er down each little throat. The block pepper makes them warm. Then the young turkeys are treated to a dab of salt grease and snuff, mixed together in u brown paste, first on the top of each head and then under each little throat. Their food is now to be wot corn meal und chopped garlic on onion tops—with an occasion al seasoning of black pepper on damp days. How those little turkeys like onion tops! They actually sfjmal with delight when they smell them. What tussling when two or three are hanging on to the same piece! What funny little things they arc!—so weak in their logs, so easily upset, yet so strong in their bills. You can lift u little turkey off the ground with an onion top if he once gets a firm hold.—Mary R. Cox, in ! St. Nicholas. The Hoys That Are Wanted.

Tunny** Uncomfortable Trip. The steamer from Newport to Provi dence, R. 1., had a passe lwr the other day which escaped the notice of the purser and paid no fare* On th§ arrival of the steamer a peculiar noise was heard in the paddle box, and investiga tion revealed the presence of a very disconsolate and inueh-bcdruggled cat and its appearnnv gave conclusive evi dence that it had made a very unpleas ant trip. Its own mother would prob ably not have recognized it, but after it had been taken out and dried it was found to be the feline pet of the New port agent of the lino. It was sept back on the next trip to its master in much more comfortable quarters, and I the purser Bays it purred all the way. TABLE TALK FROM AFAR. Thk Lugiibii people are famous din ers. ROUND tables are the most popular in France. Til". Persians arc great lovers of con fectionery. TUB modern dinner is a direct de scendant of the fedual feast. IN Turkey the water pipe follows the repast; in Persia it comes first. IN China there is no equivalent of what is known to us as "the dinner party." SILENCE and expedition are tho chief characteristics of a Turkish dinner. THE Chinese show their courtesy by feeding their guests and visitors at uny hour of the day. IN England the number of invitations to dinner is a good gauge of the indi vidual's popularity. FORKS are unknown in Turkey; but a good Mussulman washes his fingers bo fore he begins to eat. RAW fish, garnished with red sea weed* Is n crowning feature of an "away up" Japanese feast. A JAPANESE dinner of high preten sion is eaten with chopsticks, to the accompaniment of music and dancing. —Good Housekeeping. SCRAPS OF SCIENCE. IT is said that whales can remain under the surface of tho ocean for nn hour and a half. IN the days of Columbus only seven metals were known to exist. Now there are fifty-one. THERE are 100 students taking the course of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. THE Electrical Review says the elec trical purification of sewage "is a com plete success, chemically and bacterio logicnlly." MEDICAL men die off more rapidly than other professional men. Between the ages of forty-five and sixty-five, two doctors die to one clergyman. A LODSTER'B skin when shedding split's down the back and comes off in two equal parts. The tail slips out of the shell like a finger out of a glove. To MAKE animals unconscious beforo slaughtering is considered humane in 1 Irene, Switzerland. A test was recent ly made there by legal enactment and it took six quarts of alcohol to render an ox unfeelingly drunk. POINTS IN LAW. Two SALOONS in one block, on tho same side of the street, are not per mitted in San Bernardino, Cal. THE Ohio senate has enacted a law placing the heavy penalty of 82,000 fine and five years' imprisonment on the publication of obscene literature. DR. W. S. LUMPKIN, of Atlanta, Ga., sued that city for 810.000 damage, alleg ing that the injurious fumes from an open sewer had ruined his health. The jury found in his favor to the amount of SIOO. SUIT for 81,000,000 damages has been brought in the United States circuit court at Chicago by the French repub lic against the World's Columbian ex position. The litigation grows out of the French government's claim for damages to exhibits of French sub ject s injured during tho Manufactures building lire. FLOWERS AND PLANT 3. AMONG flowers chrysanthemums live the longest after being cut. AN attempt is being mode to export flowers from Australia, refrigerating them as beef and milk are treated. THERE is a wild flower in Turkey that is the exact floral image of a hum ming bird; the breast is green, the wings arc a deep rose color, tho throat yell' >w, the head and beak almost black. PLANTS often exhibit something very much like intelligence. If a bucket of water during a dry season be placed a few Inches from a growing pumpkin or melon vine the latter will turn from its course and in a day or two will get one of its leaves in the water. QUEER FINDS. THE petrified body of an elephant was recently uncovered under three feet of earth near Castle Rock, Kan. AN old boiler, which the owner claims belonged to the first boat pro pelled by steam In the world, is a relic at Frederick, Md. A FOSSIL oak tree, about twelve feet long and over two Inches in diameter, was found in a canyon near Giant, Oro., recently by John Day. IN an egg just broken for use in the family of J. P. Ilergin, of Hamilton, 0., was found the eye half of a noodle In which was a thread five inches long. PEOPLE OVER THE SEAS. THE king of Dahomey was educated in France and speaks French fluently. THE body of the late Edmund Yates, editor of tho London World, was cre mated, in accordance with his desire. DUKE CARL THEODORE, of Bavaria, who is a practicing physician, attended more than five thousand patients last year. THE manufacture of ikons, the sacred images so universally venerated by orthodox Russians, is one of tho largest household industries of central Russia, where two million are turned out every year.
