"Speaking o" money." said the night
watchman thoughtfully, as he selected
an empty scai box on the wharf for a
j--eat, "the whole world would ba dif
ferent if we all 'ad more of it. It would
be a orighter and a 'appier place for
everybody.
"Of. course. it's the being short that
sharrens people," he admitted thought
fully; "the sharrcst man I ever knew
never 'ad a ha'penny in 'is pocket, and
the ""ways 'e had o getting other chaps

they were goin' to half kill 'im, an'
the policeman 'ud Just stroll up an'
ask 'em wot they were 'anging about
for, but I never 'eard of a chap telling
im. They used to go away struck all
r a 'cap. He died in the accident
ward of the London horsepittle, poor
chap."
He shook his head thoughtfully, and
ignoring the statement of a watchman
at the next wharf that it was a fine
evening, shifted bis quid and laughed
i umblingly.
"The funniest way o' raising the
wind I ever 'eard of." he said in ex
planation, "was cne that 'appened
iibout 15 years ago. I'd just taken my
discharge as A. B. from the North

Australian ports, and the men wot the
thing 'appened to was shipmates o'

Kee wot could be done. There was
four of 'em in all; old Sam Small, Gin
ger Dick. Peter Russet and a orphan
nery of Sam's whose father and moth
er was dead. The mother 'ad been 'alf
nigger an 'alf Malay when she was
living, and Sam was always pertlckler
careful to point out that his nevy took
arter 'er. It was enough to make the
pore woman turn in 'er grave to say
so. but Sam used to say that 'e
owed it to 'is brother to explain.
" 'Wot's to be done?' ses Peter Rus

chaps they was, an' 'ow badly sailor
men was paid. 'We're all going to
sign on in the Land's Epd, but she
doesn't sail for a fortnight; wot's to

" 'There's your watch. Peter.' ses old
Sam, dreamy-like, 'and there's Ginger's
ring. It's a good job you kep' that
ring, Ginger. We're all in the same
boat, mates, an I on'y wish as I'd got
something for the general good. It's
'aving an orphan nevy wot's kep' me

" 'Stow it,' ses the nevy, short-like.
"'Everything's agin us.' ses old
Sam. "There's them four green par
rots I brought from Brazil, all dead.'
"'So are my two monkeys,' ses
Peter Russet, shaking 'is 'ead; 'they
used to sleep with me, too.'
"Talking about monkeys,' ses Gin
ger Dick, interrupting old Sam sud
denly, 'wot about young Beauty here?'
"'Well, wot about him?' ses the
nevy, in a nasty sort o' way.
"W'y, 'e's worth 40 monkeys an'
millions o green parrots,' ses Ginger,
.starting up: 'an here e is a-wasUng

mouth, Beauty, and stick your tongue
out and roll your eyes a bit.'
'"W'y not leave well alone. Gin

too. Young Beauty was quite enough
for me without that.
" 'Ter 'bilge me,' ses Ginger, anxious
ly, 'just make yourself as ugly as wot
you can, Beauty.'
'"Leave 'im alone.' ses old Sam. as
his nevy snarlfd at 'em. 'You ain't

"'I tell you, mates.' ses Ginger,
speaking very slow and solemn,
'there's a fortin in 'Im. I was lookla'

"'Wot's the idea,, Ginger?' ses Sam,
getting up to lend me and Russet a

" 'My idea is this, ses Ginger; 'take

o' the kind; tie 'im up wilh a bit o'

" 'Wot?' screams Beauty, in an
awful voice. 'Let go, Peter; let go,

""Old your noise. Beauty, while

"There was a fine scene at Ted Red
dish's door. Ginger said that if there
was a bit of a struggle it would be a
good advertisement for Ted Reddish.
"'Wot's all this?' ses Reddish, who
was a tall, thin man, with a dark mus
tache. "'It's a wild man o Borneo,' ses
Ginger, panting; 'we caught 'im in a
forest in Brazil, an' we've come 'ere
to give you the fust offer.'
" "E ain't a very fine specimen,' ses
Ted Reddish, at last.

"'Oh. I beg your pardin.' ses Mrs.
Reddish to Ginger, very polite. 'I
thought it was funny a wild man should
be wearing a collar. It's my mistake.
That's the wild man, I 'spose, on the

"'He don't look .wild enough," ses
Reddish.
"No; 'e's much too tame,' ses 'is
wife, shaking her yaller curls.
"The chaps all looked at each other
then, and the wild man began to think
it was time he did somethink; and the
nearest thing 'andy being Ginger's leg,
'e put 'is teeth into it. Anybody might

Have You Thought of This, Girls'?
The girl- who gets married darin
leap year must le very beautiful
order to escape susplcicu.
The day has gone by when we can
truthfully say to the younger genera
tion "Beauty is what beauty does."
for it is an acknowledged fact among
women that, Irrespective of their men
tal attainments or noble qualities of
heart, they must be youthful in looks
as far into old age as possible.
Of course, the pendulum can swing
too far this way, and a certain class
hold 'themselves up to ridicule by all
fair-minded women; but as a principle,
this assisting nature with simple
means on the outward form and deny
ing age the right to make wrinkles
from within by maintaining a mind
free from nagging worry and a heart
dear of angry dregs, all this Is a most
wise step on the part of woman and
one to be commended on all sides.
That the expression, form and tex
ture of the face can be altered, Is a
scientific fact There are just two
conditions that you must always plan
to figure in when working 'for any
desired result. One Is, you must not
expect miracles, and the other, you
must be willing to pay the price. The
one takes patience, the other charac
ter. If children were taught in the pub
lic schools that their natural expres
sion pictured their general line of
thought and that their dispositions
could be read by others, then would
we indeed start a generation of char
acter builders that would surprise the
most enthusiastic optimist.
The highest type of beauty In cur
minds is represented by beauty of
form, beauty of face, beauty" of grace.
The right combination of all three is
not very common and. therefore, all
the more to be desired. Yet, women
are often attractive who possess only
one of these three requisites.
The first requisite for decency of
living is neatness. The first requisite
for morality is neatness. The first
requisite for the attainment of beauty
of either face, form or grace is "ex
quisite neatness" in person, dcess and
ways.
Soap and water is a great factor to
force one to a higher level from any
walk in life. A woman must first be
"well groomed" at all times, if she
aspires ever to sit within the kingdom
where beauty reigns. Bathing must
be a pleasure, and your senses must
be sharpened to become conscious of
any deviation from the standard "ex
quisite." A Turkish bath is very valuable to
cleanse the pores thoroughly, but it
also aids In ridding the system of all

A home-made Turkish bath is ar

Place a shallow pan half full of boil

set both under a cane-seated chair
in one corner of the bathroom. If you
have a heating arrangement for the

on the chair, and wrap closely around
you a fairly heavy blanket. When in

gas, blow out the alcohol light, stand

of the most refreshing sleep you ever

A Turkish bath of this kind for
healthful cleanliness of the pores
should be taken at least four times
a year.
The facial bath should be regularly
taken -once a month, as in no other
way can the pores of the face be kept
free from deposit of dust more or less
destructive to an attractive skin.
The facial steam bath is easily and
quickly arranged at home by the aid
of a teakettle, a funnel of. tin or one

It will become an easy matter, and
soon be regarded as a necessity.
Remember, then, the first step to
ward a good complexion is to keep
the pores clear of any deposit from
either within or without.
Dark Blue Serge.
Year in and year out, the school
coat or dark blue serge holds its own
against all ilvals. The reason for this
is not far to seek. The color is sub
dued, but not somber, and the material
sheds the dust Blue will accord with
almost any other shade; it becomes a
youth rul race, and It lends itself read
ily to supplementary adornment. Some
or the blue serge coats now worn by
young school girls the majority or
these are shaped similarly to those de
veloped In black and white checks
are brightened with huge buttons or
gold or silver, showing some tinge or
the dark blue in their incrustations.
Other blue coats or this class have
black and white checked silk collars
and cuffs and nearly all have little
neckties or black or dark blue satin,
with tiny gilt tassel-finished ends.
Advance Fall Suits.
Empire and directoire effects are de
cidedly a feature of the advanced fall
suits, while braid and buttons are the
favored trimmings. Soutache Is used
extensively and large, handsome but
tons are added as decorations.
The skirts are In many cases plait
ed, differing very .little from thosa
worn last year, and the coats are long
averaging three-quarters length the
fronts cut away to display a vest, but
straight up and down.
There is no rounding off at the cor
ners at lower front edges.
Covered Hampers.
The woman who must economize on
space should learn the holding value
of a hamper. If It is upholstered in
any or the good French cottons and
heaped with one or two cushions it
makes a good looking piece or furni
ture in the bedroom. Into Its capa
cious depths a woman can store all
manner or articles that she doesn't
daily use.
To keep dust out of it, it should bo
lined with oilcloth.
Charlotte Corday Hats.
The Charlotte Corday hats, both in
the conventional and modified shapes
have taken a hold upon public fancy
but if more women would make crit
ical use of a band glass we might sec
fewer worn. The success or the shape
depends upon the arrancement or the
back hair, and when this is scant ot
worn clcse to the head the effect It
very Tar from pleasing.
With this model a low and puffj
coiffure in the back is absolutely nee
ssary for something, as one might
say, for the brim of the hat to rest
upon.
Irish Lace Scarfs.
The gauze scarf in lovely colors has
been a leading fashion all summer and
promises to be all winter, but its rival
is one or baby Irish lace or 2 yards
long.
Of course it is very expensive, but
that will not interfere with its fashion,
for in this day of extravagance women
pay so much for everything to wear.
It is used over the shoulders and
especially as. a drapery to aa evening
coat.

Hon. George W. Honey, National
Chaplain U. V. TJ., ex-Chaplain Fourth
Wisconsin Cavalry, ex-Treasurer State
of Wisconsin, and exQuarterma.ster
General State of Texas G. A. R., writes
from 1700 First St, N. E., Washington,
D. C., as follows:
"I cannot too higlily recommend yoar
preparation for the relief of cmtmrkml
troubles in their varktas tmrmn. Some
members of my. own family have used
it with most jrfatifyinjf results. When
other remedies failed, Perunm prove
most efficacious and I cheerfully certi
fy to its curative e.ccllence.,,
Mr. Fred L. Ilebard, for nine years a
leading' photographer of Kunsaa City.
Mo., located at the northeast corner of
12th and Grand Aves., cheerfully gives
the folio wing testimony: "It is a proven
fact that Peruna will cure catarrh an
la grippe, and as a tonic It has mo equal.
Druggists have tried to make me take
something else 'just as good but Peru
na is good enough for me.'
Pe-re-M ia Tablet Fern.
For two years Dr. Hartman and his
assistants have incessantly labored to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
with success. People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure Peru
na tablets, which represent the solid
medicinal ingredients of Perana.
