THE NORFOLK NEWS : FlUDAY , NOVEMHER 7,1002 , Copyright , 1001 , by A. 8. lUchardBon TLo landlady wns fair after n nega tive fashion , fat in a positive way and forty , decidedly so. She presided over tuo culinary department of 174 Otis street In n manner so capable tlmt her boarders regarded her in the light of n genius and spoke with scorn of bach elor apartments and furnished flats. Her naino Is irrelevant and immate rial. rial.Her Her daughter was fair positively , fat negatively and at least twenty years on the right side of forty. She pre- Bided with admirable tnct over the long table in the dining room , dispensing the culinary triumphs of her mother. Her name was Kathleen. Dangler , who held a post in the M. H. and A. freight otllics and went In for v athletics , was In love with Kathleen j ; Y and Invested in a tnndcm on the In- $ ' stnllrncut plan. Seward , floonvnlkcr in the silk department of "The Fair , " had a similar cardiac aflllctlon and showered the object of his affection with the latest editions from the book department , purchased at the custom ary discount allowed clerks at "The Fair. " The situation was rapidly becoming Hcnsc , and betting on the outcome among the remainder and less inter ested quota of boarders was about even when Jim appeared on the scene. He arrived in the dining room one night , dozing in Dangler's arms. "Miss Kathleen , " remarked the ath letic young man in his most confident tone , "I know you won't turn this poor doggie out to graze on concrete and asphalt. I came up with him wanderIng - Ing disconsolately in the frclghtyards. I'll wager he's somebody's pet He's co slick and well fed. Ills owner will probably turn up in the 'Lost and Found * column tomorrow. " Miss Kathleen promptly relieved Dan gler of his burden nnd petted the im passive animal as only a woman can. This plainly annoyed Scward , and as Dangler rushed off to prepare for din ner his rlvnl glared unreasonably at bis unoffending soup plate. But it wns the little woman who tnught a sewing class nt the settle- "mcnt , rend Thomas n Kcmpls and ab horred Sunday newspapers who dis covered the ad. in the Evening Herald : LOST. A pus dog , answering to the name of Jim ; fat ana slightly asthmatic ; finder treat him kindly , as ho Is an old family pot ; liberal reward. Marsden , 1701 Green street. Telephone 7SB-A. As she finlshfMl reading seventeen voices simultaneously exclaimed "Jim ! " nnd the pug , now comfortably en sconced on the ruffle of Kathleen's gown , uncurled himself , licked his chops suggestively and wheezed asth ma ticnlly. Dangler shot n triumphant look nt Beward and remarked : "I tell you what , Miss Kathleen I'll telephone old Marsden right after din ner , and when he comes after the pup you claim the reward. Mnrsden's rich , and it ought to be worth a couple pounds of candy anyhow. " Half an hour Inter Dangler returned from the telephone booth in triumph. Most of the boarders were either in the parlor or chatting in the dim entry. "Say , folks , maybe you think the old gentleman wasn't tickled ! Said he couldn't come down tonight and wouldn't trust one of the servants , so . would we keep Jim till tomorrow morn ing. He'll surely be here by 10. And , by the way , Miss Kathleen , ho says the pup's getting old , and If ho doesn't have a pillow to sleep on he'll he'll enore. And he can't eat meat unless If B cut very fine. " Kathleen , with visions of candy dancing before her pretty eye f , car ried Jim off to the kitchen and person ally prepared a delectable supper for the weary canine , after which the antidote tidoto for snoring was speedily pro tluced. That was Saturday night It was remarkable how prompt the boarders nil were for Sunday morning break fast Seward , who seldom appeared until noon , was first at the table , calm cool and palo , in a satin quilted smok ing Jacket Miss Alnsley , the lady re porter , who worked until n henthenisli uour each Saturday night , was next , In fact , every one seemed on tiptoe ; wlth curiosity , though Jim and the toward were never mentioned during the breakfast hour. It was singular , too , how the bonrd crs , who usually spent Sunday monv ing In their rooms , lingered In the par lor. Seward , holding the morning pa per nt n most peculiar nngle , held the point of vantage in the bny window , The llttlo woman who went In for set tlement work clasped her prayer booli nervously and wondered if "he" would come before time for her to start for church. Dangler got no further in his preparations for his usual morning epin awheel than to don his snowj white sweater with glowing crlmsoi bands. Conversation languished. Suddenly Seward dropped the paper and exclaimed : "Hero ho comes ! " The moment was tense with excite mcnt. The bell pealed shrilly , and Kathleen cried nervously : "Oh , dear ! Who's going to talk to him ? I can't ! " Dangler looked uncomfortable. Then ho caught the eye of the lady reporter Ho smiled In relief. "Xou'll do It , won't you , Miss Alns ley ? You reporters have all kinds o nerve. You'll know Just how to tuckl the old gentleman. " Before the lady reporter could pro- t test Mnralcn entered. Ho laid his cnre- fully polished hat on the table , crossed his cane on his gloves and gar.ed in quiringly nbout tl1 room. He recog nized Mlfls AliiRley nnd his dog nlimil- taneonaly. "Oh. Minn Alnsley , this In nn unex pected pleasure ! And there's Jim ! You old rogue , whnt do you mean by run ning off like this , sir ? A young man ! Very kind of him , I'm sure. Perhaps you'll bo kind enough to give him this , nnd this to the landlady who fed him. I trust he had the pillow. Thanhs ! Good mornlngl" Owner and dog retired In good order , but Miss Alnsley never moved. Her fnce wore n pained expression. Final ly she opened her hand very slowly , nnd , resting on the palm , the assembled company saw n dull half dollar and n shining new quarter. The silence which followed was eloquent of various senti ments. Seward wns the first to re cover. A snrdonlc smile crept ncrosa his pale , slender countenance. "Treat him kindly. A family pet. Give him a pillow. " Then ho burst into heartless laugh ter. The athletic figure of Dangler shook with ill suppressed fury. Ho said something between his teeth which reads like this : " ! - ! . ! - ! Slzz ! " Dho of the settlement work actually smiled on him as though ho had voiced her sentiments. "Who gets this reward ? " inquired Miss Alnsley In n cuttingly clear voice. Kathleen glanced from the flushed face of Dangler to the severe countenance of her mother. The landlady looked as though she had just burned n batch of lemon pies. The sltuntlon was saved by the sudden appearance of Buttons with Dangler's belated laun dry package. "Hero , Buttons , " enld Miss Ainslcy with a cordial sratlo , "you can have the wildest sort of time on this. " She Bllppcd the coins in Buttons' unresist ing band. "And no one else scema to care particularly nbout it" If the incident had been closed nt : hls instant , it would have been bet- : er , but three evenings later the entire lousehold was on the qul vivo over a mysterious package which had arrived jy special messenger during the after noon. It was addrcescd in a large , flowing hand , "To the young man who found Jim. " The conclusion wns ob vious. The owner of Jim hnd realized tils base ingratitude and had repented to the tune of a handsome remem brance. Dangler wns distressingly Into , nnd many of the boarders were toying with their coffee when ho arrived. The de mand that ho open the package was unanimous. Blushlngly he consented. The strings were snipped , the pnpcr fell back and before the astonished eyes of the boarders rose a dog's muz zle and a certain wire contrivance in dispensable to that federal ofllceholdcr known as a dog catcher. The boarders Individually and col lectively stood willing to wager that Seward had perpetrated this unfeeling Joke. But the sphlnxllke countenance- above the immaculate cream colored four-in-hand was neither paler nor more flushed than usual. Sympathy unuttercd , but neverthe less strong , was felt for the uufortu nate Dangler. But , after all , perhaps it was mis placed. Women , especially in affairs of the heart , view events from a pc cullar and unexpected standpoint The landlady announced Kathleen's engage ment to Dangler two Sundays later at dinner. The champagne which fol lowed the announcement was general ly supposed to bo the outward and vis ible sign of the exuberant happiness of Dangler , and no one marred the occa sion by unfeeling reminiscences. Feet nt Worship. The India Hindoos and Mussulmans alike wear both sandals and sboea ( slippers ) and the latter boots also. The sandal ( the word Is Persian ) was evidently the original covering for the feet over all southern nnd eastern Asia , while the shoe was probably in troduced into India by the Persians , Afghans and Mongols ( ) , together with the "tip tilted" ( Hlttlto nnd Etruscan ) boot Both are usually made In India of leather , but never of pigskin , and while the shoes are always colored red or yellow , the boots are generally brightly particolored , both among the upper classes being also richly em broidered in gold nnd silver nnd vnrle gated silk thread and with bangles bugles and seed pearls after the man ner of the ancient Persian boots rep resented on Greek vases. But , of however rare and costly elab oration , the invariable rule is to re move them after entering n prlvnto house Just when stepping on to the mater carpet on which the visitor takes his seat. They must be cast off the right boot or shoo first , before the worshiper enters n temple or mosque nnd It Is still regnrdcd ns nn absolute profnnatlon to attempt to enter elthe fully shod. London Athemcum. She Mmle Herself Understood. She was young and Innocent looking and coy and shy , and the half dozen men among the passengers on n Chica go street car the other day caugh themselves looking at her more than once and almost wishing they bad sucl a daughter. Presently another girl go in , and the two exchanged cxclarna tlons of surprise. Two minutes late the last comer was saying loud cnougl to he heard all over the car : "Dear me , Madge , but your new ha la a stunner ! " "Yes ? Do you like it ? " "It's perfectly splendid. It must cost at least ? 5. " "Five dollars ! " echoed the coy nm Bhy and Innocent "Why , my old 'gov coughed up fourteen bones for this hat , and v" tot | 0 off at thatl" A HARROWING RIDE , HlukrtiN' Trip liy MtiiKCcnnrh 1'rom Clevplniiil to Hnmlnnky. When diaries Dickens vlslti-d Amor- lea In 181U , ho traveled by stagecoach from Cleveland to Samliwky , O. De scribing his experience , ho wrote : "At one time wo were all thrown to gether In a heap t the bottom of the coach , and nt another wo were crush ing our heads against the roof. Now the coach wan lying on the tails of the two wheelers , nnd now It was rearing up In the air. The driver , who certainly - ly got over the ground In n rnnnner quite miraculous , HO twisted nnd turn ed the team In forcing n passage cork screw fashion through the bogH nnd Hwnmps that It was a common circum stance on looking out of the window to see the coachman with the ends of a pair of relnu In his hands , apparently driving nothing , and the leaders star ing unexpectedly nt one from the back of the coach , an If they had some Idea of getting up behind. "A great portion of the way wns over whnt Is called n 'corduroy road , ' which is made by throwing trunks of treed Into a marsh nnd leaving them to nettle - tlo there. The very slightest of the Jolts with which the ponderous car- rlnge fell from log to log wns enough , It seemed , to have dislocated nil the bones In the human body. It would be Impossible to experience a similar set of mMiiwtlonH In any other circum stances unless perhaps In attempting to go up to the top of St. Paul's In an omnibus. " TlilH description serves to Illustrate he condition of our country roads , gen erally speaking , as they were half a century ago except In a few wealthy communities. There hna been a won derful change since then. Nnnim. "The Street of the Roasted Corn" is one of the curious names of tftreetu in Peking nnd suggests the singular and often confusing names given to Chi nese villages. Hero nro n few village names taken from nn area of n few miles oquare : "Horso Words Village , " 'rom a tradition of a speaking animal ; 'Sun Family Bull Village , " "Wang Family Great Melon Village , " "Tiger latching Village , " "Horso Without n Hoof Village , " "Village of the Loving nnd Benevolent Magistrate" and the 'Village of the Makers of Fine Toothed - ed Combs. " Arthur II. Smith in his book on "VII- nge Life In Cnlnn" says that n market town on the highway , the well of which afforded only brackish water , was called "Hitter Water Shop , " but as this name was not pleasing to the ear It wns changed on the tax lists to "Sweet Water Shop. " If any one asked how It wns that the same fountain could thus send forth at the same time waters both bitter and sweet , he was answered , "Sweet Water Shop Is the same as Bitter Water Shop. " SucnU Kindly Word * Now. In the course of our lives there must bo many times when thoughtless words are spoken by us which wound the hearts of others , and there arc also many little occasions who.n the word of cheer Is needed from us and we are silent There are lives of wearisome monotony ony which a word of kindness can re lieve. There is suffering which words of sympathy can matte more cndurn ble , nnd often even to the midst of wealth and luxury there are those who listen and long In vain for some expres sion of disinterested kindness. Speak to those while they can hear and be helped by you , for the day may come when all our expressions of love and appreciation may be unheard. Im nglne yourself standing beside their last resting place. Think of the things you could have said of them and to them while they were yet living. Then go and tell them now. Exchange. PnlnlcNM Death * . Probably the least painful death is by means of an overdose of chloroform. You begin with a pleasant sensation nnd end In oblivion. Prusslc acid acts instantaneously. Presuming the agony of anticipation avoided , some violent deaths are quite painless , as they give no time for feeling pain. Such are be ing blown to pieces by dynamite or by a shell. Drowning Is said to be a lux ury , and experts have recommended opening a vein In n hot bath. Lauda num nnd other narcotics would run chloroform nnd ether hard for first place. The Dnrlnt ; Little Ilnninilntc Illrd. Courage has little or no relation to bodily size. The humming bird is the smallest of birds , but also one of the most fearless and pugnacious. He nt tacks kingbirds nnd hawks , and those tyrannical creatures , though of inon strous size in comparison , seem not n all ashamed to fly from his onsets The fights of humming birds among themselves are often fierce and pro tracted. Economical. There is a reminiscence of Caleb Bal- dcrstone in the utterance of an econom ical Scotch butler who was lately wait ing at an Important dinner. He bad taken round a plate of beef In vain. After his last effort at persuasion hnd failed he set It down In front of his master with decision. "Ye maun tak' that yerfccl' , " ho sold. "I canna' get any Ithcr customer for It. " A Grand Siiccon. The story of n Scotchman who at tended n funeral which lasted two days is told by a man who was present. On the second day , having Imbibed too freely , ho rose and proposed the health of the bride and groom. A friend urged him to sit down , say ing , "This is not a wedding ; it is n funeral. " "Well , " retorted the Scotchman , "whatever It IB , it's a grand success. " HoWouldn't Hplll. The Iriuiiii In thu grucii UOKK'CH ' Hlnod jofore tin1 door. "Ves.
