"I have tliousht of something now." Bald mama. "Oct some pieces of smooth brown paper for Frankle and llttlo Helen and some of that pretty green cardboard for Esther and Mabel, and you and tjpun may use your scrap books. I will pick out some old magazines, and Leon may K'-t some paste. Esther, you may take the cloth off the dining t'able, and spread out some newspapers. I am going to show you bow to make crazy pictures." The children ran to collect the things, and jmatna sent Harold for both pairs of scissors and the shears, and Esther for some empty boxes and covers to lay the parts of pictures In. ."Now," said mama, giving the things round to the different ones as nhe spoke, "you may cut the brown paper Into sheets about tli or eight Inches; you may cut the cardboard the same size. "Now nil you little on s may cut out the pictures of everything In the advertise ment pages that Is alive, but don't try to cut them clone to the picture; let tne older ones do that. Harold may punch the theets dn one end, so they can be tied together to make a 'book when they are done. You could make a book at first, but If you spoil a page It looks badly to cut It out, o I like sheets best." Then mama cut out several pictures quickly, and cut off their heads and arms amd legs, putting the beads In one box, the arms Into another, the legs Into a third, and the bodies Into a fourth. Borne times she left the arms with the body, as It would spoil Home of the bodies to have them cut off. As soon a.i the children had pictures enough cut so there were quite a number In each box, mama gave a body to each Child, and then while one was picking out pair of logs, another was choosing arms, and another a head. As soon as any one had a picture ready he pasted It on his sheet or book, and a crazy-looking set of pictures they were! The little children were the funniest, for sometimes they placed feet where hands should be, and they mado the body turn one way and tho head another. Some times a girl had a dog's head, or a man had the body of a child and the skirts of a woman. One boy drawing a sltd had the legs of an ostrich. They were surprised when Maggie came to set the table for luncheon. "Let send these pictures to the Children's hospital," said Mabel, "and they will make the chil dren there laugh, too." Youth's Companion. Don and the Duster. Don was a fine black spaniel, belonging to Mr. Ha!oy. He was 1 year old, but had riot yet gotten over his puppy ways, and, along with other things, he was very fond of biting nnd tearing anything light that he could get hold of, especially fond was ho of hair and feathers. One day the housemaid carelessly left a feather duster on a chair. Don quickly took possession of It and, dragging It out Into the hall, pounced upon It- and chewed It and clawed it In a mimic combat, till he had torn every feather out of the handle. When the maid came and discovered the havoc which he had wrought, she took the featherless handle to Don's master. Mr. Haley called the dog and, showing him the handle, gave him a good whipping with It for being so destructive. Poor Don slunk away, sobbing aa plainly as any child could have done. Ho was In disgrace and did not know what to do. An hour or two later, as his master win sitting reading his newspaper, he heard tho patter of light feet upon the carpet, and, looking up, there was Don. The shamed look was gone from his face; his ears and tall were erect, while his eyes snapped In glee, as much as to say: "I have redeemed myself now. Tou surely can't blame me any longer for what I did." And sure enough, for Don held In his teeth a brand new feather duster, like the one which he had destroyed. His master took It from him, and examining It closely, found the trademark of one of the mer chants In town upon It. "Don," he said, "you're a pretty bright deg, but I am sorry to tell you that you are a thief as well as a rogue. But, of course, you didn't know It was wrong to steal It." He walked down to the store with the duster nnd, on Inquiring, found that It be longed to the stock. Ho put some money In Don's mouth and made him stand up and walk on bla hind legs and deliver It over to the storekeeper; then Don, hla master and the feather duster all went home happy. Where the Baby Uvea. He Uvea In the kingdom of Toddle, Where a language Is babyland talk. And nobody moves In a hurry, For the folk are just learning to walk He lives In the country of Goo-Ooo, Where -the people have very large eyes, Because nil the things that they notice Just till them all up with surprise. He lives In the country of t'm-Tum. Where everything tast s very good. No matter whether It's pebbles Or buttons or plain baby food. Jack's Sew Year Giant. The holidays were ended. The little candles on the Christmas tree had burned out." The visit to grandma's was over and the New Tear party broken up. Even the story books had been read through, and now, on this bright, cold second of January, there was nothing for Jack to do but to collect his scattered books, put them in his achoolbag and- trot back to school. "Oh, ho!" sighed Jack; "It feels very dull to go back to school. I wish I was Jack the Giant-killer, and had nothing to do but climb a beanstalk." But when he glanced slyly at the dining room window, on his way out of the door, there was no sign of a beanstalk, though he had dropped a whole handful of beans out there on purpose. "Well, boys, a happy New Tear!" Bald Miss Lucy as the boys chattered noisily In the schoolroom, nnd "Happy New Yearl" echoed all the fresh young voices. After a sober little talk about the old year that was gone and the new year that waa coming, Miss Lucy said, "There Is one Job I've lnld out for you this year, boys, and that Is to kill a giant." Jack started. Had Miss Lucy heard him talking to himself a whle ago? "I won't tell you the giant's name now," said the teacher, "but I will let you know If I see him around." Aa I told you Juck didn't feel a bit like going to achool, and he missed hla spelling, and got hla aums wrong, and blotted his copybook, until Miss Lucy had to give him several ugly marks on his report. "Ah, Jackie," she aald, "that giant has met you In the way and got the best of you." "Is it Giant Laziness, Miss Lucy T" asked one of the older boys. "That's his nnmo, Frank, and here la the sword to kill him with," and Miss Lucy wrote across the blackboard, "Not slothful In business, fervent In spirit, aervlng the Lord." Philadelphia Ledger. (lime of Inltlnl. This entertaining game is Intended for the older boys and girls. The first thing to do is to write a certain number of ques tions, all of which are to be read to the players, and answered by them In writing. Only one copy of the questions la necea aar', and that la kept by the one who la to act as lender, Buy, the hoBt or hostess of the evening. Each player Is furnished with a sheet of paper and a pencil, the paper having on It aa many numbers us there are questions. If. for example, six questions have been prepared, the numbers from one to six should be written down the sheet of paper, and the players are to write the answers opposite to those numbers, in order. The special point In this game, however, Is that each player must write his answers only by words beginning with the Initials of his name. If there are six players, therefore, there will be six different an awera to each question, and tho effect, when they are read aloud, will be very amusing. As nn illustration, here are six questions, all of which are supposed to be answered by a player whose Initials are R. Q. W.: 1. What is your favorite drink? Really Good Water. 2. What Is your favorite dance? Rattling Good Walts. 3. What la your pet vice? Robbing Gro cery Wagons. 4. What Is your greatest virtue? Re forming Great Wrongs. 6. What do you most dread In the future? Raising Gray Whiskers. 6. What do you most hope for In the future? Real Gold Wings. Remember that each player must use the initials of his own name in answering, just as the letters R. G. W. are used here, and tho result may be imagined. A certain time should be allowed for writing the answers, and. If desired, a vote may be taken to decide which set la the beat, and a prize of some kind awarded accordingly. Around Curious and Romantic Capers of Cupid Old LoTrn Meet to Wed. lCTfh u snnjirutlon of thirty venrs I John Deffoe, G6 years old, and Mrs. I H..r.Mn wiliviir tt vpara old. met In Chicago last week for the pur- ' poso of renewing their old love at tho mnrrtage altar. Deffee lives In Denlson, la., and hia bride-to-be lives In Glenwood Springs. Colo., but they wanted to celebrate Christmaa together in Chicago, and spent much of the day In socking a marriage license. Thirty yeara ago the old couple were aweethcarta. Deffee, however, left the home town and while the firat love waa not for gotten the two gradually drifted away In their affections. The correspondence ceased, new sweethearts took the place of the old onea and both were married a few years after their parting. A ahort time ago Deffee again, heard of hla old sweetheart. Her husband had died and he, too, had been left alone In the world, a widower. He wrote a letter to her at Glen wood Springs, suggesting that the broken correspondence abould be renewed, and ahe reaponded gladly. In a few montha it was arranged that they should spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife, and the trip to Chicago and the wedding was planned. Archaeologists to Wed. Mlaa Harriet A. Boyd, America's famous woman archaeologist. Is soon to abandon her chair of archaeology at Smith college and will become the bride of Prof. Charles E. Hawes of Cambridge university, a noted authority on archaeology and anthropology. , Miss Boyd met Prof. Hawes among the ruins of Crete, where she had been sent to examine the burled prehistoric cities. They pursued their investigations together, , Prof. Hawes, who Is two or three years the senior of his fiancee, who Is 35, has been connected with Cambridgo many years. He la known throughout England as an ex plorer, having made researches over almost the entire earth. Singularly enough the lihlted States Is tho only country on the globe which he has not visited. He will set foot on It for the first time when he comes here in March to bo married. ' Plan to Wed Prostrated. Lieutenant Morgan Collins of the Chicago avenue station. Chicago, was aroused from a roverle by the request: 'Tlease, sir, we want a marriage license right away, Ellen and I. We want to get married tonight and get back to Marehalltown before the folks nilsa us." The words were spoken by a young man Who waa accompanied by a stylishly at tired maiden of 18 yeara. "Do please hurry with the license," again urged the young man. "We haven't a minute to spare. El len's father -may be In here after us any minute and we want to defy him when he Arrives." i The faces of both dropped considerably whan the pollco official told them that he oould not give them the license and that they could not get It until next day, the offioe of the county clerk being closed for the holidays. To Lieutenant Collins the would-be bene- diet confided that hla name waa George Eb rlo and that of the young woman Ellen Brown, a leader of the younger society set of Marshalltown, la. He aald her father ob jected to bla attentions to her because he waa only a farmer boy. The two left the station, the young woman saying: - "That's Just too mean for any thing. We must get married if ws have to go to St. Louis." Vnlverslty of Michigan, to Dr. H. Leon Simpson of Harbor Beach, took place at Ann Arbor. A pretty feature of the wed ding was the fact that the bride wore the wreath of orange blossoms which crowned her mother's head on her wedding day and carried her mother's wedding lace handker chief, thus fulfilling the bride's aduge to wear "something old, something new," Fell In Love with Plctore. James O'Neill Bruen fell in love with the picture of the young woman in Tcrre Haute, Jnd., whom he has Just made his bride. His home is at Webb City, Mo. A young man living next door to Miss Edith Doris Wil son In Terre Haute had her photograph while In Webb City on business and where he met Bruen. The latter came to Terre Haute to see Mlaa Wilson "and so they were married." Mr. Bruen, who la a Cornell graduate, la now living In Chanute, Kan., where he Is looking after large oil and natural gas intereata. Mlaa Wilson la a daughter of George Wilson, la a graduate of the Terre Haute High achool and also at tended Smith college. Her beauty has been noted In Terrs Haute sines her high school days. Never Too Late to. Wed. After forty years' separation Miss Mar garet Cadwsll and Irving Kinney of Janes vllle, N. T., met by accident In the village hotel at New Paltz and their marriage in Kingston twenty-four hours later completed their remarkable romance. Miss Cadwell waa the belle of Janesvllle forty years ago and had many suitors, among the most ardent being Kinney, a handsome young fellow of good family and education, who swore that no woman but Maggie Cadwell should ever be his wlfo. He laid his heart and fortunes before her, only to be refused. Shortly after the rejection of hla ault Kinney left Janesvllle. Occasionally re ports of hla successes reached home and found their way to Miss Cadwell. Whether she repented over tho coldness with which she had received Kinney's advances Is her secret. In a few yeara, rejecting all othor suitors, ahe decided to devote her life to school teaching, and she, too, left Janes vllle. With the death of her family and friends the last ties that bound her to the village where she was born were severed years ago. 'When Kinney bad seen enough of the world to deaden, as he thought, the pangs that had returned whenever he thought of his boyish love, he returned to Janesvllle. The old wounds were reopened. He Inquired"' where Miss Cadwell had gone, but no one was able to tell him. She had passed out of his life, he thought, but he determined to keep his youthful vow, and thereafter no woman, no matter how beautiful or charming, received more than a passing glance from him, and ho devoted himself to his work. The friends of his youth had retired and their places were being taken by a younger generation, but still the love of the man remained. In the meantime Miss Cadwell had become a member of the faculty of tho New York State Normal school at Now Paltz, Ulster county. Among the strangers at the village hotel on a fateful afternoon was one who kept looking across the table 'at a distinguished looking woman. His heart almost stopped beating. He thought he recognized the face that had been enshrined In hia heart for forty yeara. Aa soon as he could recover his self-possession he leaned over and asked the woman if he could sneak with her for a few minutes alone. The request was graciously granted and they retired to tho hotel parlor. What waa said Is their secret. The stalwart stranger and Miss Cadwell came to Kingston and at the home of Mrs. Margaret Conklln, a friend of the bride, they were married. When wedding music was proposed one of the few gueBts sug gested that the occasion waa too unusual for ordinary wedding marchea and only the love songa familiar forty yeara ago were played at the romantic wedding. The Long-worth Home. Rookwood, Nicholas Longworth'a home, over which Alice Roosevelt will aoon reign, la one of the moat beautiful estates In the country. Nicholas Longworth I, great grandfather of the present congressman, came to Cincinnati when It was but a landing place for Ohio river boats. He se cured enormous tracts of land for a song and these have since been handed down generation after generation. As the town grew fifteen acres of the choicest property was set aaldo for the Longworth home. Here, on Grandln road, deeply burled In a veritable forest, the mansion stands, surrounded by hothouses and foliage and filled with an art collec tion of priceless worth, which Is one of the finest of two continents. Canvases from the brushes of the most famous mas ters adorn the galleries. Second only to It are the tapestries and oriental rugs. Grandln road, on which the estate bor ders. Is devoted exclusively to old family homes, the owners of which are all rated far in the millions. The Longworth estate Is about one mile from any car line and half a mile from the road, the driveway being overshadowed with heavy foliage. Nicholas Longworth III, for there have been four, married a daughter of Judge Timothy Walker, the present Nicholas' mother. His sister Maria is now the wife of Bellamy Storer, United States ambas sador to "Vienna. The countess de Cham brun Is another sister. Congressman Longworth's grandfather was an art connoisseur of international reputation. He founded and endowed the Cincinnati art gallery, setting aside for its us $500,000 In ground rents. He had the most complete collection of Mclssonlcr pic tures in the world. Gossip and Stories About People of Note Millionaire Baggage Smasher. HE sons of rich men are doing queer stunts these days. Although Chauncey Stlllman enjoys an In come estimated variously at from $6,000 to $10,000 a week, he is re- Wore Her Mother's Bridal Wreath. The marriage of Miss Mildred Lane, daughter of Judge Victor C. Lane of the ceivlng one four-hundredth of that sum as a baggage man In Oakland, across the bay from San Francisco. This heirto one of the greatest names and fortunes in Wall street had been employed for several weeks at the Fourteenth street station in Oakland before his fellow workmen were aware that they were rubbing shoulders with a multi-millionaire. But even the publication of the secret had made no difference In the daily curriculum of the wealthy baggage man. Another Boss Quits. Tat" McCarren, the Tammany man. Is going to quit politics and devote himself to the turf. Two years ago he was ambitious to become the really great American plun ger. Then his $15,000 bets were quite com mon. He had a hard luck streak and lost an immense sum of money. He was so hard hit that he was unable for a time to take up hla "markers," but he made good all his obligations to the bookmakers, sold his race horses and retired from the race track for a time. This year ho Is on the turf, appar ently as well fixed financially as he ever waa. Some evil-minded persons say McCar ren beta John D. Rockefeller's money.

Chaiumy with "Andy. Thomas Ridley of Pittsburg, formerly an engineer on tho Pennsylvania road, was re tired on a pension two years ago. When Andrew Carnegie was a poor young fellow Ridley helped him once or twice and the two have been close friends for many years. "Old Tom," aa he Is called, visited the multi-millionaire recently. The latter presented him with a book on the flyleaf of which is the inscription: "Old Tom Ridley, one of my first and one of my best friends. One of the few, rapidly growing fewer, wno called me Andy and have the right to do so. New York, December 15, 1906. Andrew Carnegie."

A Thackeray Character. A letter from Thackeray, found among the papers of the late George M. Crawford, Parts correspondent of the London Dally News, establishes the fact that Mr. Craw ford was the original of Warrington. "Tou will find much to remind you in 'Pendeunls' of old talks and facts of Wil liam John O' Council, Jack Sheehan and Andrew Archdecne. There Is something of you in Warrington, but he is not fit to hold a candle to you, for, taking you all aiound, you are the most genuine fellow that ever strayed from a better world Into this Warrington is always gua sllng beer; but he has your honesty, and, like you, could not posture if he .tried." Activity of the Kaiser. The superhuman activity of the kaiser la well known. He looks after the muslo, the painting, the literature and the morals of Germany; but that is only his diversion, for above all that he is the German em peror. As kaiser his work falls under three heads foreign affairs, home affairs and the army and navy. The department which gives him most work Is that for foreign affairs, for last year be read I.W7 dispatches from abroad and $41 telegrama and gave a personal decision In $1$ cases. Hs never signs any dispatch without reading It. He also has a great number of verbal reports made to him and It Is probably this over work that renders him so nervous on occa sions and leads him to speak out things that he had better have couQned to his thoughts or to his confidential correspondence. the Wor Wih mm Read Bryan's Letters in The Bee No Other Nebraska Paper Outside Mr. Bryan's Home Town Will Have Them Colonel Bryan is already on his way for a tour of the world tv consume nearly a year.

There Is some merriment in the EngltBh papers over John Burns' "bowler" hat. Mr. Burns, being a laborer and a friend of la borers, shies at a silk hat. and there Is con sternation at ths thought that he may wear the profane thing to the ministerial bench or the House of Commons. Hopeful spirits suggest that he may wear It to the House, but enter the chamber hatless. It is recalled that in the last radical govern ment one of the ministers, who was sup posed to represent the worklngmen, got over the difficulty by wearing his "bowler" to the House, but changing it to a silk bat before entering. One on Senator Beverldge. Senator Beveiidge of Indiana raver an swers directly when requested by nr. me col league to yield the floor for a moment. His replies on such occsalona are Invariably of an oratorical character. One day he was In the midst of a moat eloquent flight when Senator Pettus of Alabama, who la not a great admirer of the Indiana man, arose and asked leave to Interrupt. "Nothing can ever afford me greater pleasure," said Mr. Beverldge, "than to yield to the dis tinguished and able senator from Alabama, who never makes a speech himself or In terrupts the speech of another senator without adorning it with a brilliant radi ance." Pettus stood there with his Jaws crunching the Inevitable cud of tobacco until Beverldge had finished the sentence and then said: "Mr. President, I move we adjourn." And they adjourned and left Ueverldge's speech up in the air. If the Car Ild Xot Stop. At the terminus of a cable line in one of our close by cities waa a horse car that passengers were transferred to which ran about a mile out In the suburbs. The car was of the old style and was driven by an Irishman known to every one for his short answers. One cold day when it was rain ing hard he was standing alongside of his car waiting for passengers from the cable road. An old lady with transfer In hand walked up to him and said: "Is this the hcr-e car?" "No, ma'am," was the reply. "It Is a steamboat." Then the old lady, getting on the plat form of the car, turned and asked him: "Does this car stop out at the endT" With out turning around, and swinging his arms to keep warm, he answered i "Well, If it don't, ma'am, you will get a devil of a bump."
