A Hr Timid Friend.
Th ml takes wblch were plentifully
sprliikleci along Mr. Comer's career
wore never regretted by any on more
than by Mrs. Comer herself. "I used
the very best Judgment I bad," sb
aid, teferrlng to one unfortunate 00
currence, "but, aa usual, verythinf
want wrong.
"Yoo see, I went to OreenruT In the
morning with Mrs. Hobart, intending
to Co on to Nashua, but I changed my
mliid when the weather turned cool
and spent the day with Anna Woods,
going bom at dusk. I'd forgotten my
little bag with my key In It, so I went
right over to Mrs. Hobart's.
"She'd eon down th road to Mrs.
Cole's, but I found her key behind the
left hand blind and went rlgbt In.
The house wm dark, but I said to
myself. 'I won't Debt a lamp for fear
of Bearing her, a Omld woman, Hving
all alone, as ah dues.' So I sat In th
dark till I heard her coming np tho
walk.
When she found th door was un
locked she gave a kbvl of a casp, so I
stepped forward and then, long as I
had a cold so my voice didn't sound
natural and I was afraid 'twould
care ber, sb being so timid, I pnt
out my hand and laid It on ber arm.
And. If you'll bellev rue. tinisiiea
Mrs. Comer plaintively, be fed rlgbt

CIRCUS CHILDREN.
The Making of Acrobat Begin at an
Early Age
It Is nothing unnsnnl for the larger
circuses to carry thirty and forty chil
dren, rnnfrlng nil the way from mere
babies to boys and girls or nTteen anu
sixteen years of age. The majwdty
are traveling with tbeir parents, both
the father and mother doing dally onty
lu the ring, nnd whllc-often they lire
trained to follow In the steps of their
elders they are seldom allowed to pr-
form In public.
It Is a common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
Is not started until after the age of aU
will seldom make a distinctive record.
Following the afternoon show I often
saw groups of boys, some of wboj
could not have beeu over four and fiw
years old, practicing nidlmeutary som
ersault and hand springs, while t!'lr
parents looked on with a gratifies
mile. These were the families or the
circus aristocracy, who treasure the
records of their ancestors with Ihe
pride of a son In his father's sword and
who see no more Inspiring calling Tor
their own children than that of ;he
groat 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 tho
time aud ability for such work to
coach their children In the standard
studies. One circus has a traveling
school for the youugsters. If they are
to bo acrobats, they are to be educated
acrobats. Bohemian Magazine.
A Spong That Works.
"Here Is a clever notion a fog bell,"
gald an old New England fisherman.
On a bleak, gray afternoou they
tood ut the seashore the old man and
bis city cousin from Boston. A great
bell hung from a scaffold, and .uuder
I metal cover hung a great sponge.
"This here machinery Is wound up
regular," the fisherman explained, "and
this here sponge is kept uuder cover so
as the ruin can't get at It In dry
weather, natch'rally. the sponge Is dry
ind light; lu foggy, though. It gets
heavy with fog satch'ratlons, Jutit
heavy enough for to press down tha
Isver that starts the machluery a-golug.
Then, dlug-doug, ding-dong, sounds the
bell In the fog. savin many a flster
