(Copyright, 1901: by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Mother," said Daisy Mason, Impa tiently, "why on earth don't Jo Davis uk Emily to marry him and be done with it? He has been coming here to e her every Sunday night since 1 can remember, and nothing comes of it." Oh, well," replied Mrs. Mason, soothingly, "there's no hurry. They are young, and have plenty of time. am sure I'm not anxious to have Kmily .married. I don't know what we should do without her." "Nor I," admitted Daisy. "But I am tired having people ask me when be and Emily are going to be married. It would be a relief to my feelings to be able to tell them that they were en jaged." "I don't see what people have to do with It It is none of their business who comes courting Emily." "No, it isn't, and that is Just what makes me mad. They talk as if Jo was Just flirting." "Now, Daisy, you know that is ridlc ulous. Everybody in town knows that Jo fairly worships the ground Emily treads on. Why, he never looks at any other girL" "Then, why don't he speak out Mother, do you think they can be en gaged?" Mrs. Mason shook her head. "No, Indeed, Emily would have told me, cer tain, sure." Yea, I suppose she would. But he ought to ask her. I wonder Emily standi It I wouldn't, I know. Fath er ought to ask him bis intentions. I've a great mind to do it myself." "The idea. Aa if father would do such a thing. Why, it would scare Jo to death, and Emily would die of mor tification." - "And then we should have two fun erals instead of a wedding. 1 don't care, somebody ought to do something. It makes Emily ridiculous, and I'm going to tell her so." "No, Daisy, don't do any such thing," ald her mother. "All people aren't alike, and you would only hurt your stuter'a feelings. You know Jo is dead in love with her, and he will tell her ao when he gets ready." "Well, 1 wish he'd hurry up. 1 don't think much of a man who wants to marry a girl and hasn't spunk enough to say so. I think 1 see any man treat me like that" And Miss Daisy gave a toss to her pretty head which boded ill to the man wno suouia try it la a smaii country town where "Oh, Daisy, really?" everybody knows every on else, moat men and all women take a lively later. eat in the affairs of their nelchbors. In HarrlUe Jo Davis' courtship of Emily Mason was one or the stock subject of gossip. The two had bet Jieeplng company tor nve years, nrdntair and Hayvllle was agreed IB thth ougai eitner to double or qultkfhere was no spparent reason wbf' they snouia not ne msmed. Jo bad a good farm left him by his father, and his old mother would be all the better of a daughter-in-law like Emily. Jo's pa rents had married late in life, and Jo was an only child. It was fragment of this gossip which, reaching Daisy lesson's ear, had wrought her up oo the subject Daisy wss Emily's young er sister, the prettiest girl la all Hay TiMe, with s docen or so of beam, whom she led s dance.

There was a third slstpr'ln the Mi on family, a little girl twelve years younger than the brother who came next to Daisy. Kosy Mason was a gen eral pet, not only In her own family, but with most of the neighbors. Natu rally a clever child, constant associa tion with her elders bad made her wise beyond her years, and her bright sayings were told and quoted all over town. Jo Davis was especially fond or her, and pild her almost as much at tention as he did to Emily. It was to this little aister that Daisy turned for help in tho present emergency. "Rosie," she asked, "can you keep a secret?" " 'Coursa I can," answered Rosle, In dignantly. "Don't you know mother says I never tell anything 1 oughtn't to?" "Yes, but this Is different I want you to ask Jo Davis if he and Emily are going to be married." The little sister was shocked. "Oh, Daisy, I couldn't. Mother would be an gry, and Emijy wouldn't like it a bit" "Listen, Iioey. They won't mind at all if you do it the right way and don't let anybody know 1 put you up to it I'll give you my blue beads if you will." "Your blue beads? Oh, Daisy, real ly?" exclaimed Kosle, but still she looked doubtful. "Yes, my blue beads, for your very "I am indeed. If she'll have me." own. Now, listen. You know Jo wants to marry Emily, everybody knows It, and we are all willing that he should, but be is so bashful that he don't dare ask her. Now, if you help him out he will be fonder of you than ever." "I think she would say yes if he ask ed her, don't you, Daisy?" "Of course I do; but she can't if he don't, and she would be pleased, too, so you see nobody would mind, don't you ?" "Are you sure, Daisy?" "Yes, dear, quite sure. And then think what fun it would be to have a wedding in the family. I would be bridesmaid and you and Jo's little cousin Nellie would be flower girls. You would have a beautiful new white dress, and a big hat all flowers and chiffon; oh, it would be grand. You know I wouldn't ask you to do any thing wrong. Then you shall have the beads, as soon as you ask him, and If mother and Emily are angry 1 will take all the blame. Hut tbey won't be. Everybody will be glad." During the next day or two Kosle's wise little head did a great deal of thinking. The more she pondered the more it seemed to her that Daisy was right Jo must love Emily or he would not come to see her so often. He never went to see any other girL People certainly expected them to get mar ried. Had not old Mrs. Brown, who was always trying in find out every thing, endeavored to pump her, Kosy, again and again, and called her a sly little puss, because she told her noth ing. Then she did so want the beads. Not even Carrie Wells', that all the girls at school made so much fuss over, were as pretty as they. 80 he ques tioned Daisy once more, and Daisy re iterated her assurances, saying: 'The next time Jo and Emily are by themselves, and Jo calls you his little sweetheart, all you have to do is to tell him that you had rather be his lit tle sister, and ask him if he isn't going to marry Emily; he will be your brother If he doe, you know. How can he mind that?" And Kosle agreed that be couldn't Fortune favored her. The next Sun day was a bright September day, and Joe and Emily had the parlor to them selves. Daisy bad discreetly gone for a walk, and the rest of the family were sitting out on the porch. Kosle went to the door of the' parlor and peeped In. Tbey sat, Emily and Jo, one on one side of the table, one on the other, as they had so often, talking quietly as usual. "Come here, Rosle," called Jo. Rosle went In snd took her stand be side his knee. He drew her to him and stroked ber curl. "You're my lit tle sweetheart, aren't you?" be naked. Rosle shook ber curly bead. "I'd rather be your little sister. I'd like that You are going to marry Emily, aren't youT" Emily turned crimson, but Jo laugh ed, delighted. "1 am, Indeed, If she'll have me." "Oh, she will, won't you Bmlly?" and the little matcbsnaker fled.

Prof. R. A. Feasenden of the weather bureau is making experiments with wlrcleF telegraphy along the At lantic coast from Cape Hatteras to Cape Henry, says the New York Presa. This marks the first serious attempt to communicate warnings to vessels at sea off the dangerous coasts of Vir ginia and the Carolines. It Is intended to send storm signals to all the life saving stations along the coast by this means when the wires are down, as they frequently are. Then each life saving station can hoist storm signals and warn vessels off shore. The towers for the wireless telegraphy are being erected, and a corps of experts will aid Prof. Kessenden In his experiments. If they are succeaaful It is probable that the system will be extended all along the coast. In increasing the height of the towers at signal stations of the weather bureau the idea is to make the warning of the bureau visible over a greater area. Already fifty high steel towers have been built, and 100 more have been contracted for. They will be erected at stations on the shores of ttie great lakes and on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. On these towers are to be hoisted the flags which show by day and the lamps which shine by night to warn ; the mariner of approaching storms. Just now the government Is looking for the best sort of lens to use in the signal lamps. Not only Ameri can but foreign firms have entered into the competition, and the govern ment is sure to get the best lenses' made In the world for the purpose. As far as possible, electricity will be used for the lighting of the lamps in these signal towers. Heretofore signals have been displayed from the tops of build ings or poles placed In places not al ways conspicuous. Now, with steel towers seventy feet high built in the most conspicuous place that can bi se lected, great improvement In the serv ice of the weather bureau la looked f r. Where the tower is built near a city or near a line of elertrlc-llght cables the supplying of light to the signals will be easy, but In many places oil lamps will have to be used, electricity being unobtainable. Where electricity ANIMALS I AND DISEASE. I G) Medical students and students of bacteriology have become convinced that the close association of animals and mankind Is responsible to a great extent for many epidemics of sickness. By reason of the often continuous con tact of members of a household and dogs, sometimes affected by con tagious diseases, such as tuberculosis, hydrophobia, mange, eczema, etc., the ailments are communicated to the hu man family, upon whom tbey often 'work with disastrous effect. The cat. as well as the dog, may transmit cer tain diseases to mankind. It Is, In fact, liable to tuberculosis, eczema and other analagous affections that rage In mankind. From Its mode of life, attached as it Is to the fireside, it read ily acctrpla iuu caietiBea vi its owners, and lives beside them; it likes to sleep In soft places, and If It carries upon It certain germs of parasites, it leaves them behind it. Birds In the poultry yard, cage or Public People Before the Camera. Commenting on politicians as sub jects for the camera, a New York photographer said the other day: "President McKinley poses frequently, but Vice President Roosevelt Is a trea sure. He never refuses a photographer to snap him, unless wearing a bath ing suit He drew the line at that. Mr. Cleveland is a splendid subject, and so Is Mrs. McKinley. Mis Helen A CHECK SWINDLE. Trick by Which Oac firm Hot Dollars Wlthaut Sales. That there I no end to the way of Imposing upon the suffering New York public was Illustrated by the failure of a small store recently. The newly ap pointed receiver was surprised by hav ing many women come to his office with credit checks. These check were for small amounts ranging from ft to 110. At first the receiver couldn't un derstand it, but upon Investigation he learned the details of a pretty system of fleecing. The firm, It seem,, had made a specialty of silk and cotton shirt waists. These were, with few exception, hspeless. Ill-fitting gar ments, and when the unfortunate wom en shoppers got home with their pur chases and put them on they were disgusted to And that the bargain sale waists wsre baggy and puckery and altogether so poorly fashioned tbst It would be aest to Impossible to make lasm at even ty a complete tipping up aai remaiag.

With electric lights the man in charge has only to press a button to set bis sig nals, but with oil lamps he must go to a great deal of trouble In trimming, cleaning and hoisting up. Every year mariners rely more and more upon the predictions of the weather bureau, and therefore this Improvement in the maritime signal service will be appre ciated greatly by masters of vessels. Vessels bound out either do not leave port when storm signals are flying, or if they do they prepare for the pre dicted storm, and so, not being caught unawares, are able to weather it. Here are the storm signals which will fly from the high towers, the notice to put them up probably being sent by wire less telegraphy: A red flag with a black center Indi cates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The pennants displayed with the flaes Indicate the direction Of the wind; red, easterly (from northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north). The pennant above the flag Indicates that the wind Is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from the southerly quadrants. By night a red light Indi cates easterly winds, and a white light above a red light westerly winds. A red pennant displayed alone at stations on the Atlantic, Pacific and gulf coasts Indicates that the local obaerver has received Information from thq central office of a storm covering a limited area, dangerous only fir vesaU about to gall to certain points, and serves as a notification to shipmasters that In formation will be given them upon ap plication to the local observer. Two red lights with black centers, displayed one above the other. Indicate the ex pected approach of tropical hurriranp and also of those extremely severe and dangerous storms which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast. No night hurricane signals are displayed. 1 S TOO CLOSE ASSOCIATION OF MANKIND AND THE BRUTE CREATION D1SAS TROUS. a, dovecote are also a source which the human race may catch the germs of specific and even mortal diseases. Al though the question of transmission of avlarian diphtheria to children in the form of human diphtheria has never been solved, it Is none the less estab lished by numerous observations that when there Is an epidemic of diphthe ria In a poultry yard there is also a prevalence of angina with false mem brane among the children. The rabbit and the bare are capable of communicating parasites. Although the pathology of fish and mollusks I at present almost unknown, It should be remembered that fish are capable of contracting tuberculosis. Whether or not action on the matter !'l be taken In some sections is not yet decided, hut medical men are agreed that the transmission of disease germs I possible and that many fatal illnesses have been Induced by too close association of mankind with the bfBte creation. Gould makes a magnificent photo graph, but hers are all taken with the understanding that they must never be used for publication. Gov. Odell wears a very serious expression when having pictures taken. He always re quests the photographer not to ask him to look pleasant Bishop Potter has many photograph taken. Arch bishop Corrlgan doe not enjoy the or deal and seldom poses.". principles of the Arm to refund money, and as they seldom had waists more becoming either In style or shape than the ones returned they were driven to the extremity of credit checks. "We will get in a new supply of waists in a few days," was the suave assurance of tho manager and his well-trained as sistant. "Your check will be good at any time, and when wo replenish our stock you can select a waist that suit you." But the new stock never arrived and In spite of the good dollars received from deluded customer without de creasing their capital of waists, the firm became Insolvent and then the women began to come with credit check. So far the receiver has been una We to compensate Uiem for their loss through the swindle which, in Its wsy, wss rsther neat New York Sun. The "Badger statu."
