Smith & Jones.
Copyright. Wi. by McClur Nwpivr
Syndicate.)
Jonas K. Stultu ami William B. Jones
were sehoolinatfs and bosoui friends.
At the aire ot twenty tlwy entered the
same couutlng room. Two years later
BmiUi went Into the draper's business,
and Jones went to South America to
represent a flrui.
Three years after Jones bad defined
(or South America things so changed
with his firm that be returned. Smith
knew that be was coming and was the
first to preet him. Neither had mar
ried during the Interval. The draper
had prospered, but desired to enlist
core capital and enlarge bis business.
Jones had money and became a part
er. So great was their faith lu each
ether that no papers were drawn be
yond those making It a legal partner
ship. They trusted to each other to
everything else. The partnership con
tinued for five years, and the flnu
made money. This made at least six
teen yeara that they had been dally
together as boys and men. and one
would hare said that each thoroughly
tnderstood the other. . One day. In
Tiew of further Improvements, they
pad a balance sheet drawn. This
showed the exact share of each and
the profits made. There was a differ
ence of Just a halfpenny In favor of
Smith. The matter was first mention
ed In a joking way and In the greatest
good nature, but later on it became a
bone of contention. Here were two
lifelong friends who bad bandied thou
sands of pounds between them disput
ing about a halfpenny. Each declared
that he was actuated by principle, and
so hot did the dispute rage that a
dissolution of the copartnership was
agreed upon.
Jones went out of the firm and es
tablished an opposition trade. In two
years he bankrupted both concerns.
People for thirty miles around were
tarnished with free railroad tickets to
come and buy, even at half price, and
they were furnished free meals at the
stores.
When bankruptcy came it made a
clean sweep. Both men went out Into
the work! without a dollar. Smith took
a situation in a warehouse, and Jones
aeeured one with a real estate agent
alth secured board far away from
tbe ether place, but Inside of two days
Jose was boarder at the same place.
Ti they apoke for the first time in
r rears, aid their words were over
htmri ky the landlady, as testified to
afterward. As t&ey met In the npper
13 sail:
fa'rt. I hsTe Just a word to wiy to
ync. I a3 K3 you some day for your
neEsona shoot that halfpenny."
"TUfa ssy Intention toward you."
Ttit was a3. They sat at the same
tiiie and skpt within a few feet of
eac& e&er for fire months and never
fsased another word. They ignored
tvx other's very existence. Tbo other
carders In the house came to under
stand the situation and fell into It,
though of course It was a subject of
general remark. On a dozen different
occasions mutual friends Interceded,
tut each time they were rebuffed.
That poor little halfpenny stood in the
way and could not be pat aside. At
the end of five months a relative of
Smith died, and be decided to buy a
bouse in a suburb of London and have
I widowed sister act as housekeeper.
This project was talked over at the
table before all.
It was a most curious thing that
Jones should be In the employ of the
real estate man who had erected the
houses In the suburb referred to and
that it was a part of his duties to j
enow would be purchasers through the
Bouses. Such was the case, however. :
and one afternoon when Smith alighted j
from the underground at the suburb !
he found Jones ready for him. It
most have been a surprise to him. and j
yet be was equal to the occasion. He ;
a-ked to be uh'jwn a certain house.
ajui Jones led tie ay Sito it Peopl
es tLe street Le&rd zul saw th.s. That
trrtaJag Lher can returned to bto
house. Tty did not return
fifex: dsy. TUta th police ware spoken ;
to. aid a search wis instituted. Smith .
bid said that he was g'lng to look at a
IsiVAe. iws hsul aid that lie was
going to show a not;- to a customer. !
They f-u,r,J tii hou.ie infj which the
two njea had gone and Lad not been
seen to reappear with its outer door ;
unlocked. In a room upstair they
found .Smith aud Jones dead What ;
happened was told by a tramp w'ao '
was in hiding in the house because he ;
hud committed a theft and fearwl the ;
police were after him. He was nuieep :
In an upstairs room and was awaken
ed by the sounds of the men's voice j
in dispute. He hoard one say:
"Smith, Providence has bent you ';
here to your death. I am going to j
kill you!" j
"Jones, I have been waiting for just
such an opportunity to take your life!"
replied the other. 1
There was little or nothing more said :
Before they closed with each other.
The struggle lasted about five mln- i
utcs. It was heard, but not seen, by ,
the tramp. It ended by Smith being !
dashed against the sill f a window
with such force as to fracture his skull.
It was the opinion of the doctors that
be may have lived on for an hour.
Jones started to go downstairs, but sat
down on the top step and fell back and
died. He had a weak heart and had
overexerted himself. The tramp had
to climb over him to get downstairs.
That was the end of one of the
strangest feuds ever started from any
. , ... a ., l .
Jfulnr to wonder If any fcuniau 1
in ever comes to really understand
another. M. QUAD
A FEAT OF MEMORY.

TrUU er titulary.
As an indication of the quality of
Zanjrwill's mental processes I my re
late an incident that occurred while
we were prodiicius: "Tlie Children of
the tibetto." Mr. ftiugwill was seated
! In my ofBee, mid wo were going over
some of the details of the play. It was
the day Unit I-nborl, intimately con
nected with the lroyfu case iu farls,
was assassinated. Knowing that Zun-
will had Intimate knowledge of the
case, a New York newspaper sent
representative up to see hitn. The re
porter eutered and after conveying the
uewssald:
"Mr. Zamrwtll. we want from you a
history of all the famous trials you can
call to mind for our paper."
"Indeed?" said Mr. ZingwIlL
think I can ptvpnre that for you. Come
to see me In three or four days, and I
will have it ready."
"We want It now," objected the
newspaper man. "We want to print It
In our paper tomorrow morning."
"But you surely don't expect me to
quote you dates and facts out of my
mind on the spur of the moment, do
your asked Mr. ZnngwIU In astonish
ment "Such a thing is out of reason."
"I'm sorry, but It's the only way we
can make' use of It," replied the news
paper man firmly. Mr. Znmrwlll thought
a moment and then asked If he could
have my stenographer for a short time.
He was called In. aud ZangwIU dic
tated to him then and there a two col
umn resume of all t lie famous trlsls of
history, from Savonarola down, and
quoted every important date and his
torical feature connected with each.

Tyler, in Bohemian.
The Crowning Blow.
"Mothers and nurses have devised
and invented many ways of procuring
obedience and correct behavior from
their little charges." said a park police
man. "The familiar 'Utiiry man Is still
employed, but the times change aud
the people with them. The last flue
day. when the park was filled with
mothers and nurses. 1 heard a new
way of appealing to the love or fear of
a child. A stylishly dressed young wo
man leading an irrepressible youngster,
after making all sorts of threats and
promises without effect, said, "Child,
child, you give me wrinkles under my
eyes' " Kw lor mm.

ibe following valuable Dints on

Birds bred from good foundation

Charcoal Is one of the necessities
that pigeons must have, and granu

Too much attention cannot be given
the birds at this season of the year,
the molting time. Borne call It the
"dying time." A well balanced ration,
cleanliness and ventilation are neces
sary. Keep your coop free from feathers.
Examine some of them and you will
find lice and mites. Barn them and
lessen your trouble.
Don't tend your birds on tha Install
ment plan and say there is nothing la
the business.
Common sense, care and attention Is
the only road that leads to success, and
then you find some thorns on the way

COOKING MEAT.
The Proper Msthods of Roasting, Broil
ing and Boiling.
If housewives understood mure fully
the procesm of broiling, roasting aud
bollluf, there would I hs complaint
of tough, tastelesa meat. The princi
ples underlying all three methods are
Identical. Tlie difference lies lu the
medium employed, In all the object to
be attalued is to first quickly sear the
exterior of the meat, thus coagulating
the surface albumen and effectually
scaling tlie juices. The cooking ttieu
proceeds more slowly to a liulsli, the
time required hinging, as a matter of
course, upon the slse of the rut.
In broiling aud lu roasting, which
are In reality the same, tlie name de
pending upon the nature of the piece
of meat, this hardening of the exterior
Is accomplished by expolug the ment
to the dlrvvt action of the heat, which
mut be intense enough to scar tlie
surface at once. When It is not, (he
Juices soep out, leaving the meat taste
less and sacrificing Its nutritive quali
ties.
In botliug meat surface coagulation
is attained by Imniemlug the meat lu
bolting water aud keeping up the tem
perature for a minute. One of the pre
Ilmlnary rules of boiling, one which
should be Indelibly Impressed uhu
very cook. Is that water cannot I
heated to the proper temperature for
boiling (Sl'J degrees) In an open vcsmoI
nor In one with an Indifferently fitting
cover. Another point equal in im
portance to the firxt Is that when wa
ter begins to boll a quicker fire than
la absolutely necessary to keep It bull
ing results merely In wasting the wa
ter In the form of steam and so hard
ening the exterior of the meat a to
prevent the heat penctrntlug to the

A HIGH WINDOW.
Artlstie and Practical Method ef Treat
ing It
Where thsre Is a high window In a
room it generally prewitts a difficult
problem In decoration. There are
nuuTuasT roa high wisiow.
many ways of meeting the condition,
of course, and the illustration present
ed herewith shows one way that Is par
ticularly effective and artistic. A wo
man whose recenaed casement window
was too high for an ordinary window
seat had the carpenter build two steps
and put the seat on top with the above
satisfactory result
Encourage His Hobbies.
Women would find men much easier
tethered to their own firesides If they
would encourage their husbands In
some peculiar bobby, and forgive the
little extra trouble tlie brushing op
afterward gives them. The encourag
ing of a hobby certainly Implies self
sacrifice on tlie part of the wife, bnt.
If she Is wise, she will give her "man"
a corner of tlie home as his own deu,
where he can tjestow bin properties,
make a much litter as he chooses and
work out his leisure In the pursuit of
his burmUfi-.s hobby.
Perhaps it may take him many hour
to turn a soap box into a corner cu
board, but do not laugh at tlie work of
art when It is finished. I'ralste It rather.
It Is better T r a man to do nueli thiun
In bis odd hours than attend a borne
race, bet, drink and lone bin nituatiou.
His example, too, will leiwii tbe labor
In the' training of your family, for his
eye will be on the young people, and
they will lu "helping father" learn to
find home the rnont blessed spot on
earth.
Fitting Waist Linings.
When fitting the walxt lining pin tbe
front edges together to form a strum to
ward tbe outside, lielng careful to have
them even at tlie top. A seam of three
eighths of an Inch Is allowed at each
side of tlie front, and only this much
should be taken up In pinning. A cer
tain Indication that too much altera
tion has been made or that It has been
tuwle ou the wrong seam, Is when the
grain of the lining material pulls out
of shape. Tho pattern is pluiined to
have the grain of the goods run lu the
lines that will best (It In to the figure.
For this reason every section Is mark
ed with a lino of small perforation,
and In cutting the lining these perfora
tions must follow n lengthwise thread
