THE ORIGINAL THEO.
Mnrpery had been onlled npnn nt Hi
pnrly ngp to solve one of life's most
troublesome, If not Important proV
leniH: one wlilch few girls are foried
to grapple Willi so young, tlinngh sel
dom does one escape encountering It,
nt some time. Itolng averse, by na
ture, to doing anything by halves,
Mnrgery lincl Increased her cares by
Inviting feveral acqtiRlntnuees to
cheer her solitary exlsten daring the
weeks of her parents' absence from
the city.
To bo more explicit, .Margery's
problem wns that of housekeeping,
and the management of servants, and
such war her situation that this was
made as rtlllleult ns possible, for Mar
gery's home was In the suburbs of a
southern city, where desirable ser
vants are by no means In abundance.
Such a place Is supposed to combine
the many comforts of both city and
country life, and although llltle Is said
of Its also combining their discomforts
such is most truly and hopelessly the
case.
Mr. Merrill, the father of Margery,
found himself, nt the time when our
story opens, In sadly falling health
and much in nerd of a change of air
nud scene. This must lie of some
weeks' duration, and feeling that It
would accomplish little good unless
she wns by to see that he took proper
en re of himself, Mrs. Merrill deter
mined to accompany her husband.
It wns too great an expeuse, howev
er, for Margery and the three boys
to share the trip, nnd so It wns, they
were left behind after many misgiv
ings Imbed, nnd Instructions ns num
erous us If Margery whs about to rule
a domain as Important aud extensive
as that governed by our president.
Margery felt a due sense of the re
sponsibility of her position, though by
no means overwhelmed by It. Possibly
she would hare a chnnce to distinguish
herself, and the desire to do this was
one which our heroine shared, in com
mon with most other human beings,
l'nrticuhirly did she wish to perform
her duties well in the eyes of two mis
chievous boy cousins, who weie
.spending the summer at the Merrill's
home.
These two young gentlemen were
usually described by a facetious mem
ber of the family, as "Theo, who
thought he was brilliant, uud Jerry,
who disagreed with him."
Hut however much opinions of Theo
might differ, It is certain that during
the summer of wheh we write, that
conceited young person really distin
guished himself.
It wns during the first meal tlint had
been served after Mr. and Mrs. Mer
rill took their departure that the In
corrigible Theo made ' a suggestion
which fell a little short of causing a
small revolution In the household.
Margery had taken her place at the
table with a somewhat ruffled expres
sion. "You will have no waitress to
night," she declared, with a little pre
liminary rattle of the cups. "That Is,
you won't have any to-night, or auy
other time, while I am keeping
house!"
The boys stared and gasped, and
Jerry began wishing that all his fav
orite dishes hadn't been put on the
opposite end of the table.
"Yes," resumed Margery Badly,
"Carrie wasn't worth shooting, and
when she smashed one of the dresden
plntes a while ago I simply bundled
her home In a hurry. They're all care
less and stupid and thievish, and I'll
wait on the table myself! I say," she
added, noting various Bhades of disap
proval on the faces about her, "If you
don't like It, you enn Just change your
boarding places, but I'm pretty sure I
enn go round aud change the plntes
for the second course and bring fresh
ones a good deal quicker than she can.
I'll never break any, either."
Theo was bending over his plate with
a pensive and somewhat sad expres
slou. "I say," he declared presently, "I
visitea convict camps, ana I guess
we ve nil got about us good feet as the
convicts have."
Mnrgery stared. "I can't Imagine,'
she remarked with dignity, "the possi
ble connection between my housekeep
ing aud the pedul appendages of con
victs. '
"Then you've got a good deal less
Imagination than I thought you had,
observed Theo, calmly. "The connec
tion Is obvious. At the convict camp,
every fellow's his own waiter. Now,
we men folks would feel awfully bad
to sit back and have you changing our
plates for us, so why can't we all do it
for ourselves? You can Just go to the
piano and play us a march, and we'll
get up aud parade round the table
fast, to the music; then, we'll put our
plates down on the sideboard and all
march gracefully back again, it would
be lovely!" And Theo sighed. In ec
static imagination of the novel scene.
ny me guost or Hamlet, what a
bright theor-ry!" exclaimed Tom, who
was Inclined to be sarcastic, and evi
dently ignored the fact that puns are
the lowest order to wit.
Strange to say, however, Margery
looked rather pleased, and eyed Theo
thoughtfully. She was fond of origl
uality in almost any form, and the
iiiil.juciicxs of her cousin's plan struck
her fancy at ouce. "14m," she hesita
ted, "you know I'm going to Invite
Alice and l.illle aud Kate on a visit
next week, and what do you reckon
they'd think of it all?"
"lie charmed." declured Theo
promptly; "perfectly charmed! And
then,-you know. If there are girls here,
we can introduce quadrille figures,
aud make It beautiful. For Instance,
the boys and glrls'll go round opposite
sides, aud as they pass each other the
boys'll wave their plates over the
girl's heads, and it'll be lovely!"
"Very," sniffed Tom scornfully; "the
way you'll drop little rivulets of syrup
and gravy all over the young ladles'
tresses will be something Ideal!" Hut
toor Tom found, to his chagrin, tht
Torturing skin, erupt inns, burns
nnd son s lire -oorhod at once and
promptly hi a'ed by applying f)e
Witts witch hazel salve, the best
known cure for piles. Beware of
worthless counterfeits.
This i-i the season when mothers
are alarmed on account of croup. It
is quickly cured by one minute cough
cure, which children like to take,
his opinions received B0 attention
whatever, and that very evening the
first trial was made of what Jerry
dubbed the "Thco-food march."
Not only did It prove effective, pic
turesque and unique, but Margery de.
clnred It a most expeditious method
of getting the table cleared, and only
wondered that no one nnd ever
thought of adopting such a scheme be
fore. Practice makes perfect, and after a
day or two, the young Merrlts execu
ted their tnnrch around the table un
der Theo's leadership, In a manner
that might have given pointers to a
professional stage manager. So great
iiideed was the young gentlemen's
success that he began to wonder if he
would not be making a mistake In se
lecting law as his future profession.
Meanwhile, Alice, l.illle and Kate
had expressed their Intention of com
ing to their "dearest Mnrgery" on the
Thursday following, and added, us
a postscript, the formidable Informa
tion that they were to be accompan
ied by an old maid aunt. In the capaci
ty of "chnperone."
"Aunt Jane" was the young people's
bugbenr, aud In their eyes she pos
sessed but one redeeming qunllty
thnt of laziness. This, of course, la
usually deemed a fault, but In the
case of Aunt Jane It was different.
for this overruling trait often prevent
ed her even discovering performances
which would have called forth tor
rents of wrath bad they not remained
a secret.
In the first place, Aunt Jane always
lay in bed lnte of mornings, and If the
young people possessed sufficient ener
gy to rise early there wns no knowing
in how many frolics they might In
dulge, undiscovered and undisturbed,
It was one evening at bed time that
the formidable arrived. Being over
come with fatigue the elder lady
sought her own apartment at once,
and it was with a sigh of deep thank'
fulness that the youthful crowd
caught the last glimpse of the stiff
gray curls bobbing away upstairs.
It was hours inter, however, before
the girls, In their own rooms, had
whispered their last stealthy secret
and giggled their last giggle for the
night. Aunt Jane was to be the vic
tim of a plot
It was not a plot, however, that
dealt with poison or dynamite, but on
ly some minor details of etiquette,
Aunt Jane would probably seek to In
terfere with some of their arrange
ments, but they simply didn't intend
to let her that was all.
At breakfast that lady failed to put
In an appearance and all went well.
That Is, the "food march," after the
first course of fruit was finished, was
carried through, much to the delight
of Alice, Lillle and Kate. Several new
figures were introduced, and not one
of the boys was so unfortunate as to
spill syrup or gravy on any young
lady's tresses. (It might be well to ex
plain, however, that there was no sy
rup or gravy to spill.)
At dinner, however, Aunt Jane was
sitting rigidly erect at the foot of the
table, when an ominous little bristle
of the Btlff gray curls, as though
scenting mischief in the air.
She was unaccustomed to having no
one to wait on the table, and ex
pressed strong disapproval at Carrie's
dismissal. How desert was to be
served she bad not the remotest idea,
and when the first course was com
pleted she was greatly startled by a
sudden thunder of loud chords from
the piano, and in a moment more sur
prised quite speechless when the en
tire crowd rose abruptly from their
places, seized their plates and began
a rapid march around the table.
Absolutely Incapable of speaking,
the poor lady leaned back in her chair
and gasped, while the gay crowd
whirled aud revolved about her, quite
Ignoring her presence.
So great was the din, combining as
it did the music, the clatter of china
and shrill peals of laughter, that no
one heard the door bell ring time an
again, till at last the visitor, tired of
waiting, entered unannounced upon
the scene.
No one so much as saw him except
poor, wretched Aunt Jane, who
dropped her glasses, twisted her cap
awry, and turned almost purple with
mortification.
It was the minister, an old friend of
both Aunt Jane's and the Merrills.
Far from horrified, however, that gen
tleman stood watching the scene for
a moment with a merry twinkle in his
eye, then, catching the spirit of the
occasion he seized Aunt Jane's plate,
and, Joining the marchers, deposited It
on the sideboard himself.
The young people bad triumphed and
Aunt Jane was completely defeated.
After that there was marching be
tween courses at every meal, and all
declared that it aided digestion, be
sides all its other good results.
Certain it is, too, that Theo's plan
solved a problem for Margery which
had for some time been troubling her.
It had been her dearest wish to en
tertain a number of friends at a sty
lish tea of several courses, and she un
derstood well bow to order its prepar
ation. It was the serving which bad
been the trouble. But now, what could
be more unique than to have the
guests all rise at the completion of
each course, and marching around the
table to the sound of music, deposit
their own plates on the sideboard and
return to the table?
A Judge would be appointed to
watch the performance and deliver a
prize each to the boy and girl accom
plishing their duties most gracefully.
Margery's tea was an entire success.
aud ber guests declared that to the
original Theo a unanimous vote of
thanks was due for his bright sugges
tion and a merry and memorable ev
ening. Atlanta Journal.

THE BUBONIC PLAQUE.
Historical Mortality List of the Dread
Disease.
The following figures convey an
idea of the fearful ravages of the bu
bonic plngue from the time of the first
historical record of Its existence: The
history of buhonc plague dates from
the second and third centuries before
Christ, and two Alexnndrlnn physi
cians, Dloscorldes and Tosldonius,
who were contemporaries of Christ,
have left a description of the dlsense
which leaves no doubt thnt It was the
same as thnt of modern times. The
plngue never died out, but It wns not
until the middle of the fourteenth
century thnt the horrible epidemic
known as the "black plngue visited
Europe nnd caused the denth of more
than 25,000,000 people. The dlsense
wns epidemic In London In 1348, 1301,
and 1308. In 1325 two thirds of the
academic population of Oxford died
of It. It was again epidemic In London
In 1400, 140fl, 14118, 1472 and 14!K. In
1400 over 40,000 persons died of It In
rarls. In 1503 it broke out again In
London, and the mortality was more
than 1,000 per week. In 1572 Lyons
lost 50,000 of Its population from the
plngue. In 1575 It visited Venice nnd
carried off 70,000 persons. In 1003 the
mortality of another epidemic In Lon
don reached 88,000. In 1003 an epidem
ic In Egypt Is said to have resulted In
the death of 1,000,000 people. An epi
demic In London, in 1025, caused a
mortality of 85,000, and in 1030, more
than 10,000 Londoners were , enrried
off. In 105(1 there was a terrific epi
demic which carried ofT 300,000 in Na
ples, 60,000 in Genoa and 14,000 in
Home. In 1005 a fresh epdemlc In Lon
don resulted In the denth of 08,500
people. This Is the first absolutely ac
curate estimate on record. In 1079 Vi
enna lost 70,000 by plngue and In 1081
Frngue lost 83,000. In 1704 Stockholm
had an epidemic, with about 40,000
fatal cases. In 1720 an epidemic In
Marseilles carried off from 40,000 to
60,000 people. In 1770 and 1771 the
plague fcuied 300,000 people In Molilo
vla, Wallachla, Transylvania, Hun
gary and Poland, and lu the same
year one fourth of the population of
Moscow died of plngue. Since that
time there have been frequent out
breaks of the disease, nnd It has con
stantly existed In lower llindoostnn
and about Constantinople, but there
have been no really great epidemics.
Coming to recent times, Bombny suf
fered an epidemic in 1800. In January
the mortality was nearly 5,000, and
in February 4,000. The total mortality
in the Presidency of Bombay hns been
104,083. In Puna, last August, there
was an average of 100 deaths a day,
in a population of 60,000.
It Is a remarkable fact that Euro
peans seem scarcely susceptible to the
disease nowadays, and are able to
withstand Its Mvages when Infected
During the recent outbrenk In Hong
kong only 11 Europeans were at
tacked, and the mortality In their
cases was but 18.2 per cent. Among
Japanese (10 cases) the mortality was
GO per cent, among Portuguese resi
dents (18 cases) the mortality was 00
per cent, and among Chinese (2,619
cases) the mortnlity wns 03.4 per cent.
Dr. George M. Sternberg, LL. D., in
an Interesting article In the Geograph
ic Magazine, says:
"I shall have the satisfaction of stat
ing that preventive medicine has made
such progress during the past 50 years
that there Is very little danger that
bubonic plague will ever again com
mit serious ravages in the more en
lightened countries of Europe, or that
it Is a serious menace to the lives and
prosperity of citizens of the United
States."
Success In Naval Life.
And now of the chances of success
and promotion in this naval life. Any
enlisted man may win a warrant. This
means the uniform, pay and position
of a warrant officer, with the privi
lege of retirement at the age of sixty
two years a position of honor and
trnst, and a comfortable salary for
life. Good conduct and honorable,
faithful service will win this, and In
winning It you may perhaps be lucky
enough to go with a Ilobson of a Mer
rimac. I remember perfectly how I
sentenced Murphy, seaman, of the
Iowa, to death, as I thought, when,
after volunteering for the Job, I se
lected him to go with Ilobson on his
daring trip. Twenty ollicers and six
hundred men bad volunteered in res
ponse to the signal from Admiral
Sampson, I want volunteers to sink
the Merrlmac." In reply to my signal,
"How many do you want'" the an
swer came, "One seaman." But how
to select the one out of all the gallant
fellows who were so anxious to go?
Eventually beads or tails decided In
favor of Murphy, an those who saw
his face will never forget his smile
and the shake of his head as the of
fers came: "Fifty dollars for your
chance. Murphy 1" "One hundred and
fifty. Murphy!" It was worth many
days of hardship to be Murphy. It
was worth many long night watches
to have a chance to be Murphy. And
think what it must have been to sit
in the boat with Cameron Wilson
when that gallant chap cut the cables
off Cienfuegos. Only ninety yards to
the shore fifteen hunJred Spanish in
fantry and several machine guns,
making the Mausers slug aud the wa
ter foam, yet fhey sat still, the brave
boys in the blue shirts, and sawed
away on the cables until the job was
done. Some died, and many will carry
scars to their graves for that day's
work, but wasn't it worth half a life
time of hardship to be one of them?
