THE AUTOGRAPH BOOK OF BLUE
She gave him her book to write in
Her autograph book of blue
land she said Write it straight now
Tommy
And something nice and true
Stiffly and squarely he wrote a line
For his queen with the eyes of blue
proudly and signed it Tommy
Maggie I love you true
A youth came from a college
A student grave and wise
He looked at the little old autograph book
He looked at her true blue eyes
And he scrawled with cynical smiling
In the old old book of blue
Of the folly of love and signed it
Thomas Reginald Hugh
A man came from his labors
Learned in the school of years
Gazed at the little blue book and dream
ed
And gazed as he dreamed through
lears
Then he looked and saw her smiling
Willi tears in her eyes of blue
And he wrote a nd signed it Tommy-
M aggie I love you true

ND Id give a

bauds on the impu
dent rogues
The chief cousta
ble of Wallburn
was speaking t o
one of his subor
dinates Inspector
Miller
So would I sir
responded that of
ficial and I dont
believe theres a member of the force
who wouldnt give a trifle to scrape an
acquaintance with this Flash Jim or
whatever the fellows name is How
ever weve nothing to work upon
But these put in the chief display
ing a number of coins Really Miller
this fellow is an artist a king among
smashers These coins are as near the
real thing as its possible to make them
and Ive not the slightest doubt that I
should have accepted them myself if
theyd been tendered to me
Very possible 3lr went on Miller
Mr Markham landlord of the White
Horse is as smart as most men but he
was bitten
At that moment the magistrate enter
ed the court house
Well whispered the chairman
leaning over the table to the chief con
stable have you heard anything
Several complaints this morning sir
The rascal is still at work but we have
no clew as yet
Confound the fellow muttered the
chairman Hes making a laughing
stock of the finest force in the prov
inces
There was only one Item on the
charge sheet that morning and the
prisoner pleaded guilty to having been
drunk and disorderly
Ten shillings and costs or fourteen
days said the chairman as soon as
the constable had given evidence
A gentleman in clerical attire here
stepped forward and explained with
a profound lisp that he was the curate
-of Sto Olaves Westmeath
The prisoner -who was formerly one
of his parishioners had hitherto borne
41 blameless character and to give him
another chance in life he the curate
would pay the fine
Having done so he bowed politely to
the bench and led the protege from the
court
Half an hour later Inspector Miller
hurried to the chiefs room In his ex
citement he forgot the respect due to
bis superior and rapped out something
very much like an oath
Miller ejaculated the chief con
stable
I beg your pardon sir stammered
the inspector but er that is the
curate
Well
Hes slipped through our fingers sir
cant be found anywhere
What on earth do you want him
Cor demanded the chief
Beg pardon sir I forgot He paid
the fine in court this morning
I know that man Is that a crime or
are you
Well heres the money sir blurted
out the Inspector throwing down a
number of coins on the table
With grave doubts as to the others
sanity the chief picked up one of the
coins and examined it then another
and another until all had been in
spected
Spurious every one of em he
gasped sinking into his chair
For some minutes neither of them
spoke The very audacity of the thing
had taken their breaths away
Suddenly Miller jumped to his feet
He had a vague notion that he had sen
the curate before
Can I have a fortnights leave sir
and permission to take what I want
from the police museum he asked
Take what you like Miller but for
goodness sake let us have the last
laugh on our side
The inspector promised to do his best
nd shortly afterward he left his chiefs
presence
II
The police Bah They aint worth
tupence a dozen
Silas Markham landlord of the
White HoAse and owner of another
half dozen licensed houses in Wallburn
folded his arms over his broad chest
and gave utterance to the above con
temptuous remark
They dont possess the wits they
were born with he went on Why
poor Drinking Dan there would give
the best of em points and a beating
The individual referred to was lean
ing unsteadily against a pillar He was
a well known character was Dan For
a year or more he had been missing
from his accustomed haunts rumor
said he had passed the time in jail and
it was only the other day that he turned
up and claimed his corner in the bar of
the White Horse
Aye aye chuckled the old toper as
he waddled over to the bar for anoth
er two penn worth o Scotch Drink
ing Dan aint hie the biggest fooil
aloive
Of course not Dan youre only one
of em returned Markham as he pock
eted the twopence
The laugh was against Dan and
there was a dangerous gleam in the
C3es of the half witted wreck as he
lurched over to his old position in the
corner
About 5 oclock on the following af
ternoon Dan staggered into the bar a
trine more intoxicated than usual The
landlord however who was the sole
occupant when Dan entered served
him with the usual twopennorth
The customer placed a half crown
piece on the counter which the land
lordafter giving the change threw
toward the till It fell on thejloor and
something in its sound roused Mark
hams suspicions
Picking up the coin he examined it
closely while Dan began to shuffle to
ward the door Too late however
Markham sprang over the counter
seized the other by the collar and drag
ged him into a private room
Where did you get that coin he
hisseu
Lemme go pleaded Dan huskily
Where did you get it repeated the
other
A giut give it to me stammered
Dan and
Its a lie hissed Markham Come
out with the truth
All right responded Dan desper
ately Let go my throat will yer I
made it
So you made it did you And
where did you get the die
Stole it growled Dan It once be
longed to a fellow you knew Kutton
the coiner
Hush you crazy fool hissed Mark
ham Dont you know where you are
Stepping softly to the door the land
lord locked it then producing a bottle
from the cupboard was it the sight of
that bottle that brought the triumphant
gleam into Dans eyes he poured out
a couple of glasses
Come Dan heres to your health
said Markham It wont do for us to
quarrel I wasnt aware you knew
him
I knowed him twelve years ago re
plied Dan adding with a keen glance
at his companion an I knows im
now
Markham winced and glanced uneas
ily toward the door
Well he demanded at length
what do you want
Work replied his companion
And what about the dies
Il bring em whenever you like
Half an hour later Drinking Dan
emerged from a side door and sham
bled off down the street
The White Horse was a money
making establishment night and day
When closing time came round and
the last shilling had rolled into the ca
pacious till behind the counter of the
bar business was resumed in the
vaults
In the wee sma hours of a Novem
ber morning this particular branch of
the business was in full swing and
profits were being literally coined
Three or four ghastly figures flitted
about in the semi darkness Silas Mark
ham was engaged in earnest confab
with his son alias Hutton the coin
er alias Flash Jim alias our old
friend the curate at the far end of the
cellar while Drinking Dan was busily
engaged near the heavily bolted door
in the manufacture of spurious florins
Suddenly the low but distinct mew
of a cat reached the ears of the alert
Dan
Before the others were even aware of
his intentions the supposed drunkard
sprang forward shot back the bolt and
faced around on the others with a re
volver in each hand
Trapped by heaven roared Mark
ham or rather Hutton Sr as a posse
of police with the chief constable of
Wallburn at their head rushed in
The struggle was fierce but brief The
elder Hutton was soon overpowered
but his son who had previously served
a long term of imprisonment for a sim
ilar offense fought like a tiger With
his capture resistance was at an end
and the whole gang was secured
Tricked by a miserable gin sodden
drunkard groaned the elder Hutton
as the handcuffs clicked on his wrist
Youre wrong my friend if thats
any consolation to you said the indi
vidual referred to stepping forward
Inspector Miller at your service one
of those men you valued at tuppence
a dozen
The prisoner did not reply but the
Inspector owed his life to the fact that
glances are not deadly weapons
Shortly after the gang had been con
victed Inspector Miller was promoted
At a little supper organized in honor
of the event he was asked where and
how he picked up his clew
It was a piece of luck he laughed
Twelve years ago in the Assize Court
at Westheath when Hutton the young
er was sentenced to ten years penal
servitude
I shall never forget the prisoners
jaunty appearance on that occasion He
never turned a hair and when the
Judge passed sentence on him he re
ceived it with a low sweeping bow
that would have done infinite credit to
a Parisian
He repeated the bow exactly when
as the curate he put in an appearance
at Wallburn police court to pay that
fine inflicted on a member of the gang
It was only when seated in the
chiefs room after we had been so bad
ly sold that I connected the two inci
dents and recognized my men
W 3C6jfe Aft -
Drinking Dan who is and has been
for twelve months an inmate of the
Wallburn workhouse had been a
member of the Hutton gang years ago
and from him I obtained all that I
wanted to insure admission to the
vaults of the White House and well
you know the rest Cassells Satur

In a new magazine camera the plates
are placed in a row in a chamber oppo
site from the lense and held by a
spring each plate dropping down into
a recess in the bottom of the camera

An automatic door for furnaces and
locomotive boilers has a standard set
on the end of a rod which runs through
the floor and operates a lever to raise
the door and swing it back whenever

Corduroy Road of Ancient Days
Considerable interest has been occa
sioned among the people of that neigh
borhood and particularly among geol
ogists by the discovery of a peculiarly
constructed roadway in the Lake
Shore Companys gravel pit at Amboy
seven miles east of Ashtabula Ohio
The remarkable find has the appear
ance of having been a corduroy road
made of small cedar trees and it was
unearthed thirty eight feet below the
surface of the ground The wood is in
a perfect state of preservation Over
twenty feet of this road has been un
covered It was laid on hard clay and
was covered by a thick vein of gravel
Professor Carl Wright teacher of
geology in Oberlin University visited
the gravel pit and secured pieces of the
wood which he examined He gives it
as his opinion that the wood had been
where It was found since the glacial
epoch and that it has retained its nat
ural condition several thousand years
A piece of a mastodons tusk two feet
long was unearthed It is also perfect
ly preserved the ivory being a natural
color after the dirt was removed

Sir Isaac Holden the inventor of tue
lucifer match died recently in England
at the age of 01 Though he did not
profit by that invention others espe
cially in woolen machinery gave him a
large fortune He set out comparative
ly early in life to live as long as possi
ble In the matter of exercise his rule
was to spend at least two hours a day
In the open air and it is told of him
that on first going to work in his youth
he agreed with his employer that in
stead of having a yearly vacation he
should have an hour every afternoon in
which to take a walk In the use of al
cohol he was abstemious yet not a
total abstainer and he smoked tobacco
moderately In diet his chief peculiar
ity was that he avoided bread His
chief foods in his later years were
meats soups and fruits Yet he was
not a man who lived by invariable
rules for he was long a member of the
house of commons and when over 801
years old he saw the session out at 2
3 or 4 oclock in the morning and smok
ed long cigars in the smoking room
TEN DOLLARS A WEEK
Feedinga Familyat a Coat of Eighteen
Cents a Day for Each Person
In the Ladies Home Journal Mrs L
T Rorer tells how a family of eight
persons can be fed and well fed at
the aggregate cost of 10 a week She
presents a bill of fare for each meal
with suggestions for changing and
varying them and details how to pre
pare the main dishes that enter into
her economical plan of supplying the
family table To carry out the
scheme she says articles must be
purchased economically and no waste
permitted A table which is supplied
for a family of eight for 10 a week
must of necessity be plain but it may
at the same time not lack for variety
or wholesomeness Sweetmeats and
rich desserts must be counted only as
occasional luxuries and company
dishes must be omitted altogether
Meat the most expensive food item
may be purchased in a much larger
quantity than is needed for a single
meal and utilized French fashion The
poor and middle classes of this country
must learn more about the food value
of the legumens more about the proper
preparation of food and last but not
least more about the proper combina
tions of food Avoid the buying of
steaks roasts and chops each week It
is an expensive household indeed
which has no repertoire of cheaper
dishes A beefs heart or a braised
calfs liver makes an excellent and
economical change Broiled sheeps
kidneys with a little bacon give a
good breakfast at a cost of ten cents
Smothered beef which may be made
from the tough end of the rump steak
is appetizing and only costs half the
price of an equal food value of tender
loin steak
The housekeeper should go to mar
ket early and buy only the best materi
als They keep longer and go farther
than the inferior ones Perishable food
should be bought in small quantities
two or three times a week Groceries
enough to last a month should be laid
in Canned goods and conserved sweets
should be bought sparingly Meat is
always a most expensive article and
not a particle of it should be allowed
to go to waste
Has Already Cost Millions
In I860 Mr Trouvelot who- had gone
to Massachusetts from Paris had taken
with him some eggs of the gypsy moth
These lay one day on a tray near an
open window and a breeze blew them
out of doors He recognized the mis
chief he had wrought but his an
nouncement of it created little excite
ment at the time as the people of Med
ford where he lived knew nothing of
this insect And indeed little mor9
was heard of it for about ten years
while not until 1889 or twenty years
after the escape were the ravages of
the moth such as to call for action by
the State At that time the worms had
spread through thirty townships ruin
ing shade trees everywhere and attack
ing also farm and garden crops Ac
cordingly in 1890 Gov Brackett called
on the Legislature for help and that
body authorized a commission for the
purpose and appropriated 25000 for
its work which sum was doubled a few
months later The next Legislature
had also to expend 50000 and others
followed witff still larger sums annu
ally
Last year the actual expenditure was
about 120000 and Mr Fernald the
entomologist of the State Board cf
Agriculture in his last report estimat
ed that to exterminate the moth would
require 200000 a year for the next five
years or 1000000 then 100080 a
year for five years more finally 15
000 a year for a period of five years
making 1575000 in all Supposing
that the moth should then disappear
this cost added to what has already
been laid out would exceed 2000000

woodlands and crops caused by the in

RATTLER ON HIS BREAST
A Botanist Awakened from Sleep by a
Venomous Monster i
Prof Charles Rice the botanist had
a thrilling experience with a monster
rattlesnake and it was only his cool
ness and presence of mind that saved
him from death Prof Rice in com j
pany with Dr Tynan the bugologist j
were up in the higher altitudes of the
Sierra in search of rare specimens andj
were camped at a place called Moore
Creek They had a small tent withj
them which they had pitched near a
stream of that was fed by a
spring higher up on the side of the
mountain
Friday evening of last week the pro j
fessor and his companion who wero
completely worn out with their days
tramp in search of rare flowers and
bugs retired to their tent rolled them
selves up in their blankets and weroj
soon in dreamland Just as daylight
was breaking the professor was
awakened from his slumbers by feeling
a soft and clammy substance crawling
over his face and down on to his chest
and on raising his head a little his
horror he discovered it was a monster
rattlesnake The reptile had coiled it
self with its head raised about a foot
and ready at the least movement made
to stride
Cold drops of perspiration oozed from
every pore of the professors body
while his muscles became as rigid as
bars of iron and his eyes became fixed
with a stony glare as he gazed at the
head of the monster which was about
six or seven inches from his face an
swinging from one side to the other
with the regularity of a clock pendu
lum The suspense was becoming un
bearable but still he knew that the
least move that he made meant death
In the most horrible form How long
he remained In this terrible position ha
does not know but it seemed ages
when suddenly he felt his muscles re
lax his vision grow dim everything
around his became dark and in a few
seconds he was oblivious to everything
around him The doctor was quietly
sleeping a few feet away unconscious
of the terrible danger of his compan
Ion When he awoke the sun was
brightly streaming into the tent and a
he rolled over in his blankets toward
his companion his blood seemed to chill
in his veins at the sight presented to hi
view Hi companion was stretched
at full length upon the ground witlr
his eyes closed and his face as white
as a piece of marble while coiled upon
his breast was a huge rattlesnake ap
parently asleep
He quietly siezed a shotgun that wafr
standing near by and cocking both bap
rels raised it to his shoulder and was
about to fire when he realized that ii
he did he would probably injure his
companion Just at this moment his
companion moved a little when the
snake gave a rattle and again raised
his head The doctor seeing his chance
fire and at the report of the gun hla
companion gave a yell and jumped tc
his feet throwing the reptile soma
three or four feet away from him in its
death struggle The doctors aim waa
true for the reptiles head was blowiv
completely off On being measured if
was found to be four feet nine and a
half inches in length and had seven
teen rattles and a button The profess
sors nerves were so shattered by his
terrible experience- that he was hardly
able to walk and the following day b
company with his companion he re
turned to- this place where he is at
present recuperating under the doctor 3

Parisian Thieves
So fan as the safety of life and prop
erty is concerned Paris seems to have
improved but little since the days of
Eugene Sue The police appear quite
unable to grapple with the criminal
Glass possibly because even under the
republic their chief duties are political
A fortnight ago however they sue 1
ceeded in laying by the heels the bandt
of Coco a horde of young ruffians
who for months terrorized the districts
of Puteaux Gourbevoie and Neuilly
At least a dozen wayfarers had beent
stripped of all they had upon them
even to their tan boots and cravats ar
ticles for which the miscreants had j
special predilection It is surprising
that the- police should have allowed
this sort of thing to go on night jifterr
night for so long a period but stil
more astounding is the pusillanimity ofr
the victims Not one of them seems to
have put up any klndl of a fight or
made any disturbance and in no- in-
stance did any of the bystanders come
to thenr assistance
