The mistakes which wore plentifully sprinkled along Mrs. Comer's career Here never regretted by any one more than by Mrs. Comer herself. "I used the very best judgment 1 had." she said, referring to one unfortunate oc currence, "but, as usual, everything went wrong. "You see, I went to Greenville in the ffiorning with Mrs. Ilobart, intending to go on to Nashua, but I changed my fnind when the weather turned cool and spent the day with Anna Woods, going home at dusk. I'd forgotten my little bag with my key In it, so 1 went right over to Mrs. Ilobart' a. "She'd gone down the road to Mrs. Cole's, but I found her key behind the left hand blind r.r.d went right i::. "The house was dark, but 1 said to myself, '1 won't light a lamp for foar of scaling her. a timid woman, living all alone, as she does.' So I sat in the dart till 1 heard her coming up the walk. "Vs'tcn sao found tie doer was un locked she gave a Ui'.'d of a gasp, so 1 stepped 'forward and then, long as 1 had a cold so my voice didn't sound natural- a.-.d I was afraid 'twould scare her, rhr lei':;; so timid. I put cut my hand a:. 1 laid it on her arm.' "And, if you'i! ! lii-.e me." finished Sirs. Comer plaintively, "she fell right ever In a faint and cut her forehead en the edrre of the rocking chair, and I though I'd never bring her to! ."There's no use trying to be careful -with a woman like her." Youth's Companion. The Making of Acrobats Begins at an Early Age. It is nothing unusual for the larger circuses to carry thirty and forty chil dren, ranging nil the way from mere babies to boys and girls of fifteen and sixteen years of age. The majority are traveling with their parents, both the father and mother doing daily duty In the ring, and while often they are trained to follow In the steps of their elders they are seldom allowed to per form in public. It is a common belief among circus men that the performer whose training is not started until after the age of six will seldom make a distinctive record. Following the afternoon show I often saw groups of boys, some of whom could not have been over four and five years old, practicing rudimentary som ersaults and hand springs, while their parents looked on with a gratified smile. These were the families of the circus aristocracy, who treasure the records of their ancestors with the pride of a son In his father's sword and who see no more inspiring calling for their own children than that of the great white canvas. Not that their education Is neglected in other respects. Several of the fami lies often hire an instructor perhaps one of the performers who has the time and ability for such work to coach their children In the standard studies. One circus has a traveling school for the youngsters. If they are .to be acrobats, they are to be educated acrobats. Bohemian Magazine. Dreamless Sleep. Occasionally I have mrt people who bave Insisted that they do not know what it means to dream. To them sleep comes like the pall of death, en Teloping them so completely as to en tirely extinguish the consciousness for the time being. Cut, strangely enough, I hare found that these individuals do not seem to appreciate this blessing of undisturbed repose. Instead, they feel that ill some way they are being cheated out of something that belongs to them. Like the Scotch plowboy, they protest at never being able to enjoy" a night's sleep, because their bend no soo?;er touches the pillow than it is time for them to get up again. Bohemian Magazine. "The Prussian Versailles." It would be as unjust to form an es timate of the Ilohenzollenis or of their capital without visiting Potsdam as to form an estimate of Germany without visiting Lavaria. for l'otsdam i more than "the Prussian Versailles." It rep resents the complement of those stern er Ilohenzolleni qualities which are embodied in the c ity of blood and Iron. Cold, colorless lierlin may well lie seen on the gray days f standard Prussian weather. Kuriiight seem exotic there.

"Here is a clever notion a fog bell," said an old New England fisherman. On a bleak, gray afternoon they stood at the seashore the old man and his city cousin from Boston. A great bell hung from a scaffold, and under a metal cover hung a great sponge. "This here machinery Is wound up regular," the fisherman explained, "and this here sponge is kept under cover so as the rain can't get at It. in dry weather, natch'rally. the sponge is dry and light: In foggy, though. It gets heavy with fog satch'ratlons. just heavy enough for to press down the lever that starts the machinery a-going. Then, ding-dong, ding-dong, sounds the bell In the fog, savin' many a fisher man from wreck on this rock bound coast." Exchange. A Persistent Hen. Ever hear about our little red hen? Well, sir, she was on the set for keeps. Couldn't keep her off. Old doorknobs, soda, bottles, lamp chim neys, match safes anything was good enough for her. Finally 1 put her on three mud turtles, and I hope to die If she didn't hatch out alligators yes, sir. three of 'em! One of 'em ate her up. and when we opeii"d him there was the hen settin' on his back teeth, and they'd swelled up so they choked him to death. Exchange. "My husband is so very unreasona ble." "Most husbands are. What did yours t'o?" "He fixed a fiVhhook in one of his pockets because he preterded to sup pose tint I robbed him at night, and then he blamed me because he forgot it was there." Cleveland Plain I-iealer. , Net Particular. Mme. Calve at a ladies' luncheon was condoned by an elderly spinster on the rrou:.I that a laudatory article about her had not been very subtle or discriminating. "I know well," said the spinster, emillng behind her glittering spec tacles, "that only CisTlinlnatliig praise counts as praise with you." "Don't talk aVm discriminating rraise." answered Mme. Calve. "Ful some flattery is good enough for me." ijyashington Star. . Ccarsjly Defined. "What is the distinguishing quality of the problem play?" "It makes you think.

As advertised and proclaimed from the housetops, the ball game happened last Sunday afternoon The day was ideal as the weather furuished a variagated program durine the performance which aided materially in keeping up ex citement with the spectators. Well, it happened just like this: the lads handed the fathers (?) a bunch which the old fellows were unable to back up. Crawford's Colts were the first up and Behreu's slapped the sphere for a two .bflgger, that is by running in an air line from home to second, and by a fumble by Papa Patterson and a safe bagger by Webb, "Blondy" paced the score in one Hat. The neit few innings ware mainl' a pitcher's battle until the first half of the fifth when the kidletstook a streak with the slab and succeeded iu placing three more counts to their credit. The fathers had three scores to their credit, but up to the last half of the fifth, Grandpa Spencer, Sire Wiley and Papa Patterson had never declared their intention to do anything to show the lads that they were in tha game, and at this time sire Wiley announced to Kid Ilhea that when he and Spencer got through bat ting it would be necessary to lay in a new Bupply of ball", as the present stock would take an air Poage for Irrigon. True to thiB declaration, Wiley came to bat, struck bird aud missed, then wait id for Rhea to toss up a nlow one aud this he Hilled out to Crawford who swallowed it like a toad doee a fly. It was cow time for the prima denna to appear on the stage in hia beautiful blue dock ;over white cheese cloth. Cheer upon cheer went up from the tumult as the pioneer grabbed the hickory and proceeded to the bar to reckon with the youngsters who bo ud mercifully dealt with the orator of their gang. Yes, Bill did something. He did just as Wiley did mn then it was up to S'im Xeel to b.ing in Swag gartaud tie the game, but Jeff had a hole in his bat which left the score -1 to 3 in fr or of the single men. g Married men Iloriiish c.
