SPARING HER NERVES.
ClfiCUS CHILDREN.
A Careful, Considerate Visitor and
Her Timid Friend.
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

weather. Kuriiight seem exotic there.

A Sponge That Works.
"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

"He fixed a fiVhhook in one of his
pockets because he preterded to sup

then he blamed me because he forgot
it was there." Cleveland Plain I-iealer.

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."

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
