She looked dreamily out through the window at the mellow mmllght of sprliiK. A longing eamu over her for her old home. Hhe hod en dured the long and cruel winter with n stolen ! patience , hut thu reluctant spring iniuie the Hap of yearnlni ; rlHo In her veins. Suddenly Hho burled her face In her handkerchief , and like a faithful dog ( ! eorgi ! began to whlno : "Dnr , little mlstlHH ; JOH' yo' wait (111 ( do udder Hide do cloud Ilmumux over , nn' yo'll NOO 'noiigh ullvor to mok n braid pan. " "Oh , go away , you worthless nlggerl" MI-H. OiiHtlH exclaimed , putting down her handkerchief , and ho Jumped ex travagantly JtiHt for the delight of hearing - ing her Hweet old laugh , like the ring ing of pure thin nllver. "Hut , ( ! oorgo , " MI-H. CutUls reHumod , .with renewed dignity , "It IH true that your nuiHter and I are Horloimly think ing of Kecking public iiHslHtanoe. " Her delicate cheek lltiHhed at the admission ; but , seeing hl.s look of chllillnh horror , she proceeded llrmly : "Aw Hlmple as our living oxpetiKcs are , wo cannot longer meet them , and wo must ask for help. " Shu throw up her llttlo llguro and proudly loft the room , but tdio Htumblod on the threshold , and the negro , with intuitive devotion , know that her eyes , were blinded with tearH. Ho stared with n dropped Jaw at the open door through which she had gono. Then , with a volatllo grin , ho jumped to hlH feet and , performing a skillful clog dance , seized bin disreputable hat and bolted from the house. About a year before this Mr. Cimlls nntl his wife had drifted to the great city of Now York. They came from Georgia , leaving their homo desolate in order to bo near their daughter , who had married a clover young artist. It did not take the parents long to discov er that their son-in-law had dllllculty In supporting his little family , so they , protesting grandly that they had an ample Income , moved to a cheap little Hat on the cant Hide and In the fright ful closeness of a few nurrow rooms began an existence that was slow tor ture to their pride. One day George Harries , one of the moat unrcgencrate negroes In all New York , sidled up on their front steps and pulled the bell. A negro is not natu rally n tramp , but ho was idle and thought bo could bully something from these forlorn old people. Mrs. Custis opened the door and look ed her wrath at his presumption. "Does yo' 1mb uny wuk fo' a po' cul- lud man ? " ho drawled insolently. "No ; I don't want any niggers to work for me ! " she blazed out. "Get off my front steps ! " She was preparing to slum the front door when ho Jerked off his tlltliy bat and burst out : ' "I'V do Lawd , I didn't know yo1 wnz a south'n lady ; 'deed I didn't , lit tle mlstlss. Kin yo' give n po' nlggah a bite o' somethlu' to * ' oat , an I'll wuk my llngahs to do bone ; 'deed I will. " And that was the beginning of a strange household George Harries , crap shooter , low comedian and natu ral singer and dancer , and those poor , line old southern people. And ho was as faithful as though he was their slave they as autocratic as though ho was theirs by right of purchase. So on this sunny afternoon In spring he shutlled along the street , dipping in to old haunts that had not known him for a year. When ho reached one of his former stands , he looked shrewdly about for n policeman and , not seeing one , began with great vigor and skill what Is known to the initiated as a "buck dance. " Ky the time he had danced for live minutes the crowd was so dense about the performer that it took a tail man to peep over the heads. George paused In his dancing , took off his lint and , singing in a musical voice , "coon , coon , coon , " went nrouni ! collecting. This was all very well , bill a policeman sauntered up. Finding the attraction was u live negro and not a dead horse , ho virtuously redistributed the coins to the amused crowd , a nil George took a free ride to the police station. By the time he was hustled before the desk Ids most reckless look hat settled over his hardened face. The magistrate , who was looking bored roused slightly when the olllccr ex plained that the negro was indulging in n disorderly dance. "Why were you dancing ? " be asked with a yawn. " 'Cause I wuz , " was the sulky re tort. "George , " eald the magistrate severe y , "I had hoped you hnd fdopped your evil living. It IUIH been nearly a yonr Blneo you wore nrroHtod. " A subtle change passed over the homey - y features. " 'Deed , bows , " ho Htutlerod , "I been Ivlit' nil right an' wimi't doln' nothlii' oday Vept a llttlo daneln' . I ain't phot no craps In a yeah mos -no , Hah. Deed , Jedgo , " the fellow Middonly dubborod , "I don't know what my po' olu mnmlcr an * mlntlHH bi gwlno to def f you sen' me down , It wtmi't fo' mo I WUK dam-In' ! It wuz fo' dom-fo' tiiwcl It WUK. Dey'H quality folks , nn' ley'd Htii'vo befo' doy'd balg. " "That's n likely story , " began the wllcomiw contemptuously. The magistrate motioned him to bo inlet nn ho said more kindly : "George , suppose you flhow mo what Hort of dance this was. " The negro's face'broke Into midden million , Uko so many of his race , ho md a chlldlHh smile and lautlful eeth. Ho stopped forth willingly , and t was a pleasure to watch the poatur- ng and gestures so absolutely African ind yet dramatic. The magistrate watched him Intent- y. When ho had finished and loaned muting against the desk , his honor hot a sarcastic look at the policeman mil rapped out , "Case dismissed. " George lost no time in putting the lollco station behind him. He waa limiting along toward home when a Rharp faced , theatrical looking man > vortook him and brletly explained hut ho had soon him dance and want- < d to engage him for his company of nlnstrols. George had been In Now York too eng to make an easy bargain , and at ast the theatrical manager reluctantly came to his terms. George even got in advance on I ho strict promise that 10 would report that night for orders. I'lion 1io How over the ground to the Custis Hat. Ho fell up the steps and burst into tho'kitchen , where Mrs. Custis wan ooklng a meager supper. "Law , llttlo mlfltlss , " he ejaculated , lot forgetting to pull off his hat , 1 'deed do Lawd has Hummuxed dnt truck cloud over , an' dar's some o * do silver Ilnlu' right dnr. " And he trl- miphantly gave her $5. Then ho told how ho got the money. The poor old lady's tears were stream- ng and ho hlniself was sobbing like n child. "George , " she wild brokenly , "tho ways of Providence are past finding out. " Anil ho answered humbly : "Dat's so , llttlo ndstlss ; dat's so. " Vindication. They had quarreled overnight , but she had no sooner readied the studio whore she was preparing to threaten lie laurels of the old masters than she was called to the roconclllatory tele- ihono. The conversation began guard edly with the customary : "Is this Miss 10. ? Oh , good morning. This Is Mr. I'V ' Hut In n few seconds these per- lunctory words gave place to others. "Helen , " ho declared , "I was a beast. " And she replied contritely : "You must lot call yourself names. I was horrid. I was a perfect llttlo cat , Dick , and" Hut Mr. l < \ could not stand her self reproachlngs. Ho told her that he could lot and that he would not bear to hear lor slander the dearest , most generous , most noble woman in the world. "Hush , hush sh , Dick , " she entreat ed. "We're forgetting that a telephone s not so awfully secret Suppose Cen tral should hear ? " Whereupon a strident voice took up the tale. "Central " " ! It sneered. "Cen tral listening ! I like that ! Central's sot something else to do but listen to the lovemuklng of a pair of idiots. I can tell you that I've got other fish to fry besides paying attention to the like of that truck ! " New York Herald. Who Invented the Stcnm The Marquis of Worcester , while Im prisoned in the Tower of London in 1050 , Invented and constructed n per fect steam englno and had It publicly exhibited the same year at Vuuxhall in successful operation. Thirty-four years later , In 1090 , Dennis Papln add ed the piston to the marquis' discovery. In 10'JS Captain Savary devised and built a steam engine different In many details from those made by Worcester and Papln , and in 1703 Newcoinb , Caw- ley und Savary constructed their cele brated atmospheric engine , which was complete In every detail. The above array of historical facts notwithstanding , James Watt , who was not born until sixty years after these great men bad given the steam englno to the world , enjoys the distinc tion of being the veritable Inventor , originator and author of the most use ful contrivance of the present day. Fulton , who lived and worked In the early part of the century , Is given the credit of being the man who demon strated that steam could be applied to navigation ; this , too , in face of the well known historical fact that Do Gary propelled a vessel by steam in the harbor of Barcelona in 1543. ( ircntnn * Not Free From Shame. The transcendent power and fame with which great genius has at dif ferent periods endowed various men do not always insure them from after misery and shame. " This was strikingly exemplified in the cases of the four greatest of mill tury conquerors Alexander , Hannibal CiL'sur and Napoleon. The genera judgment of mankind has concedci them the tlrst place in the lines 01 action for which they were several ! } distinguished. Yet they all met with melancholy and tragic deaths. T vo of them suffered for years the keenest humiliations which u total dc structlon of their hopes could bring Two perished at the zenith of thcl power , Just as they might have expect cd ; at long enjoyment of the fruits o their tremendous achievements. NATIONAL HOARD OF TRADE , Reciprocity the Topic at the Wash ington Convention , WnBhliiRton , .Inn. 10. The annual convention of the National Hoard of Trade cnmo to an end yesterday.

UNION FOLLOWS OLD RULE. Restriction of Output Was In Effect Before Miners' Organization , Philadelphia , Jan. 1C. Most of the testimony presented to the anthracite coal strike commlsBlpn yesterday was of a corroborative nature , iho Erie company producing numerous wit- losses to prove that the minors' union s responsible for the alleged restric tion of tlio hard coal production. The act was adduced , however , that the practice of restricting the number of cars to bo loaded dally by one man mil been In operation as far back as 1835 , long before the United Mine Workers of America entered the an thracite region. The majority of the witnesses were mine foremen , who testified illmt the union was detri mental to discipline at the collieries. Foreign Steamers to Bring Coal. Boston , Jan. 1C.

These 'living Jewels" ( an the poets call ba bies ) , "dropped unstained from heav en , " take wings and fly back whence they came one for every minute of the day. From Jan. 1 to Dec. 01 between 08,000,000 and 40,000,000 living Jewels are dropped Into this cold world. There are more baby girls than boy > ablcs. The proportion of female births o male births Is as 100 to 00. So that between 2,000,000 and 0,000,000 moro ? lrls are born In the world each year ban boys. There Is always a surplus of women , and the extra number of girl babies keeps up the supply. The rate of Infant mortality Is enor mous. In round numbers , 5,000,000 jablcs never live long enough to talk , B.000,000 moro never have a chance to walk or run nnd 5,000,000 more never get old enough to go to school. . How a Snnko Swallow * ) n Vrog , The method of swallowing Is a very simple one , although If the frog be large more than half an hour may be consumed In the process. The two bones of the lower Jaw are separate and capable of Independent movement ; so the reptile loosens its hold upon one side of its Jaw and pushing that side forward as far as possible It drives the teeth In again and draws the Jaw back to Its original position. The result Is that the prey Is drawn down by the movement. The process Is then repeated by the other half of tlio jnw , thus Inevitably forcing tlie victim Inward. Tlio snake's skin Btrctchcs enormously , and the jaw Is of coin-so dislocated , but the extensible ligaments hold the bones together. AH diioil UN u CniiiiuiNH.

" It Is nn annual shrub , much resembling our wild or false Indigo , but with all the branches arranged along Us stem on the north side. It Is of the greatest value to travelers of those regions , who use it with as much assurance of being carried aright as does the seaman his mariner's compass constructed on the latest scientific nrlnclnloa. A DESERT CARAVAN. Iki Start AITOH.I the Drenry Hnnil WnNtcN tif Snlinrn. There were the hist words , Instruc tions , cautions , adieus , and then Abdul- lab held up his hand. All gave the cry of the camel driver , and the uncouth beasts , twisting and snarling under their loads , struggled to their feet. Another cry , and they began their voyage. They traversed the square , passed the mosque , turned down a nar row street und in five minutes crossed the line that bounded the oasis and en tered upon the desert. Immediately the dun leader took Ida place at the left and slightly in advance. Tbo fourth on the right of the dun was the black racer , lie carried two wa ter skins and Abdullah's saddle. Then came In ranks tlftccn camels , All riding in the center. On the right flank rode the two women , with enormous red and whlto cotton sunshades stretched be hind them ; then at un Interval of six rods came tlftccn camels unattended. They simply followed the squad in front. The dun leader and the black racer had lanyards about their necks. The other camels had no harness save the surcingles that held their loads. In a panic , a sandstorm , a fusillade from Ucdoulns , a mirage nnd a race for water , If Abdullah and AH could grasp those lanyards the caravan was saved since thu other camels followed the dun. loader and the black racer as sheep follow the bellwether. Abdullah walked at the left , abreast of the dun. At intervals be rode the black racer. The pace of a caravan is two miles an hour , but Abdullah's , the two crip ples Included , could make two miles und a quarter. The black racer couhl make sixty miles a day for five days without drinking , but at the end of such a journey his hump would bo no larger than u pincushion , and his tem per For centuries It has been tbo custom of Sahara caravans to'travcl not moro than five miles the llrst day.

The Kiosau Drug Co. LOOK OUT FOR ; CATARRH The cold-wave flag I II /I means zero weather , icy , moisture laden winds , and the begin ning of winter in earn I est. To Catarrh Buffer- era there It nothing cheering in these climatic changes , for with the return of cold weather , all the disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh appear : blinding headaches , dizziness , a stuffy feeling about the nose that makes breathing difficult , chest pains , and as the disease progresses , a discharge of nauseat ing matter from the throat and nose keeps one continually hawking and spitting. Catarrh is a most disgusting disease. The foul mucous secretions that ore con stantly dropping back into the stomach contaminate and poison the blood and is distributed throughout the body , and it then becomes a deep-seated , systemic , persistent disease that must be treated through the blood , for it is. beyond the reach of sprays , washes , powders or ex ternal treatment of any kind. S. S. S. eon clears the system of all CaUrrhal matter and purges the blood of the irritating poisons , thus effectually checking the further progress of this seri ous and far reaching disease. Lookout for Catarrh in winter , for cold stirs the blood and causes excessive secre tion of mucus and brings to life all the that make Catarrh slumbering poisons the most abominable of all diseases. S.S.S. keeps the blood in sss such perfect order that cold waves cause no alarm and the change from the heat of summer to the rigorsof winter produce no hurtful effects !
