MTH. CustlH wan paying no heed to
the negro now. 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

"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.

dubborod , "I don't know what my po'

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.

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.

A baby Is born at every boat of this
iiimaii heart. That Is more than one
'or every tick of the clock. 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.

There were the hist words , Instruc

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

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

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

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

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 !
