In selecting a heating stove, it
is natural to seek one that produces
the greatest amount of heat with
the least fuel, that is easy to regu
late, cleanly in operation, and pos
sessing desirable features.
The "Novel Superior" fulfils
all the above requirements and is
indeed one of the best heating stoves
ever constructed for obtaining good
results in the use of coal
Very little coal is needed to
operate, the combustion is perfect,
and the distribution of heat uniform.
The NOVEL SUPERIOR is built
upon a new orginal plan.

But I wish no helpfrom anyone that I

MOT PERFECT ALARM CLOCKS.
Reectere Salute to the "Rosy Morn"
Is Variable..
Lincoln's saying, "You can fool some
of the people all the time," is exempli
led by the common belief that the
crowing of a cock at night Indicates
the near approach of dawn. This no
tion Is prevalent not only among flat
dwellers but. to some extent among
suburban and country folk. It is true
that these feathered alarm clocks are
busiest for the hour that precedes day
light, but a man who. had an appoint
ment to go fishing at sunrise and
arose when he heard a rooster, might
make a serious mistake.
A racing man had a rooster at his
home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, that
had a remarkably accurate sense of
time. Across the street from the
man's home Is a summer hotel, the
Bensonhurst. Most of the guests were
more accustomed to city than to coun
try noises, and some of them were
awakened when the cock crowed. Sev
eral times it was noticed that the
noise came at just 3:15. This odd fact
was spoken of on the hotel v veranda,
and when the guests heard the bird
thereafter they usually looked at their
watches to see if he was en time.
Night after night he was right to
the minute. Once a guest looked at
his timepiece, and it indicated only
3:14.
"Guess I must be a little slow," he
said to himself. He had come to have
more faith in the mechanism of nature
than of man. It was the cock which
was wrong, however,' for several per
sons spoke of it in the morning.
This continued for months, although
the sunrise was, of course, later each
day. Shakespeare's phrase, "the bird
of dawning," certainly did not fit this
chanticleer.
LIGHT-HEARTED TONY PASTOR.
Characteristic Act of Theatrical Man
Related by Actress.
A very beautiful actress, at a lunch
eon, told a story about the late Tony
Pastor.
"Before I went on the stage," she
said, "I was a typewriter girl. My
employer, happened to fail, and I ad
vertised for a new situation. One of
those who answered my advertise
ment was Mr. Paator, and I put his
name on my list, and in due course
called on him.
"But he told me I was too late. He
had engaged a typewriter early that
morning. He was very sorry, he said.
I would have made a charming orna
ment to his dull office. He paid sev
eral delightful compliments to my
eyes, my hair, my figure.
"I rose with a sigh.
" Well,' I said. I suppose I'll have
to close with Mr. Koopon, then. I'm
horribly disappointed. I'd ever so
much rather work for you.'
"What, has old Koopon, the bank
er, made you an offer?' Mr. Pastor
cried.
"Yes, said I, 'and a very generous
one, too; but I prefer this office to
his.'
" 'And In this office you shall stay,'
said Mr. Pastor, whimsically. 'Well
make room for you somehow. Why,
my dear child, all my money is In
Koopon's bank.' "
WHEN THE BEST WORK IS DONE.
At Times When- the Body Rests and
the Mind la Active.
"The best work that most of us do,"
says Dr. Luther H. Oullck, In the
World's Work, "is not begun in our
offices or at our desks, but when we
are wandering in the woods or sitting
quietly with undirected thoughts.
From somewhere at such times there
flash into our minds those Ideas that
direct and control our lives, visions
of how to do that which previously
had seemed impossible, new aspira
tions, hopes and desires. Work Is the
process of realization. The careful
balance and the great ideas come
largely during quiet, and without be
ing sought The man who never takes
time to do nothing will hardly do
great things. He will hardly have
epoch making ideas or stimulating
ideals. Rest Is thus not merely In
order to recuperate for work. If so,
we should rest only when fatigued.
We need to do nothing at times when
we are as well as possible, when our
whole natures are ready for their very
finest product We need occasionally
to leave them undirected, In order
that we may receive these messages
by wireless from the unknown. We
need to have the instrument working
at its greatest perfection, be undirect
ed and receptive."
Jap a Human Nonconductor.
Playing with death and laughing
when it reached out to claim him for
Its own, Hakkadote, a Jap employe at
the Hotel Castineda, was found at
eight o'clock in the evening, recently,
holding a live electric wire in his
hands and touching It to the rails of
the street cars just to see the sparks
fly. The wire, which was the street
car trolley, carried 22,000 volts of elec
tricity. When electricians came to repair
the break, which had been caused by
the wire burning in two, they would
not touch it until the power had been
shut down, but the Jap stood there
with it in hie hand gleefully thrusting
It out at them and laughing when they
sprang back.
"It was the greatest wonder in the
world he was not killed outright" said
the chief electrician. "The only way I
can account for It Is that the Jap is a
human nonconductor, or else that God
takes care of fools." Lea Vegas (N.

AGED OAK IS PART OF HISTORY.
Centuries Old and .Washington and
Clinton Sat Under It
"I was at Kingston during the Clin
ton reburial ceremonies on Decoration
Day," said a New York man, "and I
stood a while beneath the branches
of what la perhaps one of the most re
markable old oak trees to be found
anywhere In this country.
"Just how old the tree Is no one
knows, but there are records showing
that 260 years ago it was a landmark.
The tree stands there to-day more
than 100 feet high and its trunk is
nine feet In diameter. Nowhere about
it did I discover any sign of decay
or declining vigor.
"But aside from Its admirable physi
cal condition and aspect this old tree
has historic interest The tree stands
not a great way from the old senate
house, where the state of New York
had its birth, and it marks one edge
of a plot on which the famous one-legged
Dutch governor of the colony,'
Peter Stuyvesant built a stockade as
a defense for the colonists against
marauding Indians.
"After the revolutionary war, when
Gen. Washington went up from New
burgh to visit Gen. George Clinton at
Kingston, the two patriots sat be
neath the spreading branches of this
oak and for hours recounted the events
of the -long struggle and doubtless dis
cussed plans for the future welfare
of the country. Who may know but
that some of the benefits which we en
joy to-day under the institutions of our
government are results of the discus
sions of those two great patriots be
neath this grand old tree? I brought
myself to think so, at any rate.
"A few miles from this historic old
oak, an old resident informed me, is
another tree which besides being an
ancient landmark is something of a
curiosity. It is a chestnut tree, with a
trunk 21 feet in circumference, from
which about six feet from the ground
a white elm of large size has grown.
The chestnut trunk completely en
closes that of the elm, and the expla
nation of the curious association Is
that at some time a branch of the
chestnut was broken off, leaving a
cavity in which in time mould and
vegetable matter collected and made
suitable depth of soil- for the seed of
the elm, which lodged therein to
germinate and grow and become a
tree, a veritable part of its unprotest
ing host the mammoth chestnut
trunk."
Boy Groping With a Problem.
A bright boy who writes letters and
"compositions" for his mother as a
"home .study," but has time enough
for baseball, had this to say In one
of his recent productions: "Archie
can't be first base because Har
old's mother won't let him play with
a driver's boy. Archie Is a bully
player, even If his father drives a
team. I, sent Harold's mother what
was In my Christmas book about poor
boys. It was that Virgil was the son
of a porter. Sir Richard Arkwright
was the son of a barber, Franklin was
a tallow chandler, Oliver Cromwell's
father kept a brewery, Aesop was just
a slave, Dickens was a reporter and
Ben Jonson was a bricklayer. But
Harold's mother told him that was
long ago, and it don't go now, so I
do not know what to do to get Archie
In If we don't get a new club without
Harold. I wish I had a big brother
to tell me what to do, for I think la
dies don't know so much about such
things."
No Loopholes There.
Eugene Walter, the extraordinarily
successful young playwright said at
a recent dinner in his honor in New
York:
"The playwright to succeed, must
make his point Inevitably. Every point,
by fair means or foul, must be cap
tured. Not a loophole, for failure to
creep In, may be left"
Mr. Walter smiled.
"In fact," said he, "the playwright
must be as sure of bis point as was
the young Isdy who took advantage
of the present leap year to propose.
" 'She didn't give me a chance,' her
husband explained afterward to a
friend. 'She said, "Will you marry
me? Have you any objection ?" Thus,
whether I said yea or no, she had me
cornered.'
" 'Well, you might have kept silent'
said his friend: -
" 'That Is what I did,' the other re
plied, 'and she flung herself on my
breast, murmuring that silence gave
consent' "
All the Lady's Fault
.Some one hard up for a subject. It
seems, has suggested discussion of the
question, "Are literary persons ill
mannered?" In this connection a story
is told of a minor author who went vis
iting in a Boston home. During the
evening he asked the hostess If she
would ask the guests to retire Into
the little room adjoining the large
room In which they were gathered, as
he wanted the .large room In which to
meditate. While it la recorded that
the Boston woman granted his re
quest and crowded her guests into a
small space, It is not likely that a
hostess In any other part ef the coun
try would have taken the request seri
ously, so this exhibition of tod man
ners must be set down to the exagger
ated idea of hospitality and not the
literary propensities of the man.

A New Yorker who returned a few
days ago from the Catskill mountains
tells of an old woman he met, who
Uvea In a cottage just outside the lit
tle town of Cairo. This woman, a
Mrs. Gary, he. discovered, has a valu
able collection of books which be
longed to her husband, who at one
time kept a second-hand store in
Washington, D. C, and who died about
20 yeara ago.
"I stumbled on the little wooden
house and its occupant by chance,"
aaid he, "and it is a meeting I shall
long remember. I followed her up an
uncarpeted stair, through a bare room
to where the books were. They lined
a dozen rough shelves and littered the
floor. Evidently they had not been
disturbed for years. Piles of hand
some volumes In worn leather covers
lay smeared in cobwebs and dust I
stooped down to pick up a book.
" 'Stop!' she cried, grabbing my arm.
You must not touch them! They were
his, and you must not touch them!'
"Gradually, however, she relented.
I was allowed to open some of the vol
umes under protest Rare books they
were. Three first editions, which lay
half hidden In a pile of broken plaster
would have brought, I believe, a total
of 500 at a book connoisseur's sale in
New York; one copy of Poe, which I
would have liked much to possess, lay
In a moldy condition on the sill of the
little attic window; several rare vol
umes of Dickens' works and an equal
ly rare copy of Longfellow I found be
hind an Immense traveling trunk,
squeezed and scratched deplorably.
Treasure met my hand and eye every
where. "'Why,' I protested, 'if you took
these books to New York and placed
them with proper persons you'd make
a small fortune.'
" 'To New York? she echoed, rasing
her hands in alarm. 'No, indeed, all
the wealth of New York would not
tempt me to part with one of them.
They were his; that's enough for me.
"Take care of my books, Jane" that
was about the last words he said to
me before he died. I have respected
his wish, for they are here as he left
them. You are the first to lay a finger
on them, and you'll likely be the last
for before I follow him I'll make sure
that his books'U fall into no strange
hands. "Here, during the latter years
of his life, on the oak chair under the
skylight he would sit for hours and
days on end with no company but his
books. "That night that was his last
he was here for hours. When he came
down to the sitting room he could not
rest and he said to me: "I'm going
back to my books, Jane, and may read
till late. Get to bed if you wish, and
never mind me." So I went to bed,
and,on awakening at the first glimmer
of dawn I saw I was still alone. I
cried" "Andrew!" but no answer came;
then I stole out and went up stairs.
Ah, I remember as if it were yester
day. He sat here with his head down
on his chest dead. This book was
in his left hand and his right gripped
the chair arm like a'vlse. That other
book on the floor lay as.it lies now,
open with Its face down. There I have
left it lie. No hand shall touch them.'
And so we walked silently out of the
musty room, and she locked the door."

MAIDEN LOST HER SLIi-PEPL
And Young Msn Who Rescued It Wee
the Envied of All Observers.
Everything about her bespoke the
returning Summer Girl aa she tripped
blithely out of the Grand Central sta
tion, says the New Tork Press. In
one hand she carried a rather bulky
traveling bag, in the other she held a
gorgeously flowered silk sunshade, to
gether with the ample reefs In her fur
belowed skirt and petticoats. The
daintiest pair of feet in tan slippers
fluttered from beneath the reefs as
she hurried through the throngs of in
coming and out-going passengers to
ward a Forty-second street car.
She was good to look at, despite the
deep tan of the summer sun and the
frieze of fragrant freckle across the
slightly upturned nose. As she hopped
blithely Into the first car that came
along It became instantly obvious to
other passengers that something had
gone wrong. They heard a shrill lit
tle soprano "Oh!" burst from her lips
as she looked around appealingly to
the car conductor, horror depicted in
every feature.
With a sudden jerk the car came to
a stop before it had gone ten feet. A
moment later a young man ran up to
the side of the car where she sat. He
'raised his bat decorously as he handed
up to Miss Freckles a little tan slip-per-rlt
couldn't have been more than
a three-and-ahalf.
"I beg your pardon, miss," said the
young man, "but- I think you must
have dropped this as you got on the
car."
"Ob, yes; thank you so much," mur
mured Miss Freckles, smiles and
blushes running riot over tan and
freckles, as she took the proffered slip
per and coyly popped It down where
it properly belonged.
"Can I be of any further service to
you, miss?" gallantly added the young
man, as a daintily gloved hand started
on the mission of replacing the va
grant slipper.
"Oh! dear me, no; thank you," re
turned the girl, with the sweetest of
smiles.
And then the car sped on, leaving
the slipper rescuer the envy of every
man aboard it
