And yet the neighbors all admit i That little boy of mine. Like many other baby boys lie dourly loves n row, And oft I wish he'd ston his noise, And smooth his troubled brow. But when his little eyes arc dry Where tiny sparkles shine Tbc wealth of Klondike would not buy That little boy of Initio. Ills fnulls are few If faults they be I tell them In a joke To vUltoi'H, but generally Feel sorry that t spoke. For ere they have a chance to laugh Ills grnndnitt cries, "Why, Joe, You used to make more noise by half Homo thirty jeurs ugo." Then as wc lay him down to rent, In childhood's snowy bands, And fold upon his little breast Ills chubby little hands; In pure nml perfect Innocence He looks nlmortt divine The sweetest gift of Providence Ih that wee boy "of mine. Chicago ltecord. t Prank's Football Fatality jj; Ft (5(5rT might liu worno, Frank, denrl" II consoleil the rosy little mint. "It mlghtl" admitted Frank, Kloomlly. "It's a pleasant street to look out on, If It Is (inlet," she added. It wnH a iiluiiHiinl Htrcct they were looking out on then from tliu window it the llttlo old-faslilouud Iioiiho with Ita Ilutterlng dimity eurtiilim ami bright brass doorbell. It Is tucked away on tho West Hide. It Ih not more than two blocks In length. Tho Iioiihph uro de tached and have qulto an air of exclu ilvcncss. '1'wo long green grafts plats run down the center of tho street, and between them n Jolly llttlu fountain KooH forever Leaping tnwanl the sun-heart to bo warmer, Then recoiling In a tremble from the too much light above. Hut despite the iiloiiwiut aspect of tho place and his aunt's adoring tuliilHtru tlons, Frank Harlaiid found the days dragged. To have been lunula foot ball It) u practice game at that! To be obliged to leave the team and cuddle down and keep still like a naughty child who Ih doing penance tu the corner! WorHt of all, to lie oven temporarily de barred from the, youthful companion Hhlp In which lie so delighted It was deuced hard It was disgusting! "Now that you'io Hitting up you'll bo out In no time," IiIh aunt assured him uhccrlly. "Now, U'h "time for your nourishment. Kh, my deurV" "Who Is hIioK" crlwl the young fellow. lie luul caught her arm suddenly. "Yes there! Coming out of the opposite houso. Hho piiHHiH here overy day. Heo -out of that house with all tho beauti ful Mowers In the vIiiiIowh!" "She? O, her name la Inula Itay!" "Isola Unyl" ho repeatetl. Ills dark poetic young fuco lit up. "What u do IIcIoun tiamel" "She has 1mhii away at boarding 11 I I II n ii EnAi' i f&iy Knl rag JlRHlft I. WJW I IT WAS IMM.A HAY lKHSKt.K. I m-lwuil. Him graduated tills Hiiininer. Hho Is giving music lettsons. They say she Is bright. .. Mho's a relative of the old people over there. Why alio Is coming In hero!" A trim llttlo llguro In a fall stilt of moss-green with a bewitching llttlo tiviuo of cerlso silk on her fair hair had come In at the gate was ascondluj- tho steps, MImj Dcnslow fluttered to the hall door, "Come In!" she cried hospitably. "Thank you, no. I just brought a fow flowers for tho poor young gentleman, Will you give them to hliu wltli my pympathyV Hho Binllcd-dlKuppoared. Ami Frank Ilarlaud found himself holding a mass of Bcarlet geraniums mid delicate ferns. Tho next morning It was a llttlo bunch of lato violets tho, day uftor u bouquet of fragrant iioHolrpiK'. Hut despite her dainty lloral glftrt the young music teacher never came In, "Ask her," Frank would entreat. "Tell her I wish to thank her." "I have, my dear," his aunt would cry In despair. "Here, you're, getting fever ish again. You'll have u relapse. I can't think what's coming over you." The days did not drag uow at least not until after Isola had passed. Thou there was tho afternoon to watch for when she camo home. A delightful ani mation thrilled tho convalescent ath lete, Ouco bUo had met his eyes ami blushed, Tho next time she smiled. Finally ecstatic day! she bowed, Hut tlieru catuo a day ono glorious, copjier-colored October day when Frank's aunt got a shock which left her btvaUilctsa and Isola Hay got auotuer. T&! ! tbe war It came about: Twitter lag old MW Dcnslow, swooping In on tier beloved patient with a tray of deli cacies, almost dropped the tray at sight of her tall nephew, erect, smiling, clothed In his ordinary hnblllments. "It's all right," he assured her. "I couldn't play HI one day longer not on hour! To Btny Indoors with that sky, that Bun, that breezel It would be criminal. Here, I'll drink your broth, auntie. I'm only go'i'S for n short wnlk." It was a short walk. It.was only as far na the houso with tho Jlowcr-fllled wlndowH across the street It was Isola Hay herself Isola, In a Quakerish little gtay houso gown, that matched her eyes, and a fetching little apron of milled lawn, who opened the door to lilm. "You!" she stammered. Bhe grew quite white. "Why you ". "I'm not a ghost," ho assured her, mulling. "ty name Is Frank Hurlnnd. I've como to thank you for all those exquisite flowers. 'Won't you ask me In?" "But I but my my friend said thai you you were crippled for life! And I thought-I thought " "Now, Isola Itnyl" protested a plain tive voice. The mistress of the house camo up to the hall. "I thought when you nsked me about the sick gentleman at tho window that you meant old Mr. Heuhani, who lives at H3. Hc'h been nil but bedridden for years. I did not know you meant Miss Denslow's nephew Come In, Mr. Hnrland." Never was imitation accepted with more alacrity. That wasn't the only time Frank entered the Uower-llllod parlor ah, not by many! "A year ngo," he says to-day, and sighs. "Now-I know the dire effects of a foot-ball fatality." And when his friends question him. ho Just glances at n glittering stone on a white linger nud attempts explana tion. Hut his llancee stops him. And they both lauirh. Which, after nil. Is the only thing to do when one Is happy. Chicago Tribune. MUST BE A HEALTHY PLACE, Wunlilnuton Muii' Wile (Spoiled Ills Cluuiccttof Hlilrklnir Duty. A young Westerner who nailed a Job In ono of tho departments about a year ago got Into the habit from the Jump of putting In u tlmo Hllp pietty frequently, explaining each tlmo to the chief of his division that his wife was very delicate nud that she had sent for him. Then tho young man would repair to his fa vorite inalsou do lush and put In n cou ple of extra hours of enjoyment or cross the river on the electric cars to that largo shetl where even money, and.eveu money only, Is given against race horses that are a to 1 at the truck, or otherwise toy with tho bllthesonio hours.

About 12:ir on Inst pay day n splen did buxom woman, who would prob ably have tipped tho beam easily at 175 pounds and whoso cheeks werollkowlld roses, walked Into tho olllco of this chief of division and sweetly nsked If she could sco her husband, Hho was the young Westerner's wife. Tho chief told her that her husband was out at lunch. Hho said she wouldn't wait, and swept out, regal, handsome, tho ury model ami picture of roiiust pnysicai health. "Say," said tho chief of division who Is malarious, dyspeptic nud ema ciated to the young Westerner when tho latter returned from his lunch, "where did you say your wlfo spent last summer?" Tho young Westerner named the place, not without wondering If any thing hud happened to put his chief "next." "Well," said tho chief, "that must bo a rattling healthy place, and blamed If I don't believe I'll move down there with my family. Your wlfo was In hero n whllo agol" "Talking about feeling like n nickel's worth o' strawberries In the middle o' wlutcrl" remarked tho young Western er afterward, lu telling the story upon himself.

Among tho queer experiences of flsh ermeu tho following should have a place: A man was fishing for perch In ono of tho lakes of Maine, Ho stood uear the daw, and was tlshlrig below. He noticed an old barrel lylug ou Its sldo lu eovoral feet of water. On examination ho found that It was an old molasses barrel, lying so that ho could see tho bung-hole. Out of curiosity he dropped his hook through the hole. Immediately there was a groat commotion Instdo tho barrel, and tho Ilshcrman kuew ho had caught something. He was so sure of this that ho walked half a mllo to get a saw, and then sawed a pleco out of tho top of the barrel, and drew forth a threo-pouud trout. Tho flsh must have gone Into the barrel when small, and lived there ever sluee, India Kunbor Nulla. v India rubber nulls are a novelty In aermony, They aro used lu vplaces where metallic nails would be liable to corrode.
