that y.oung fellow right merrily. Half
a dor.ett of the bigger boys yelled foul

As lovely a bicker us ever came off

had the teacher In tiuder tho desk.
Which was .upset, tho forms weru
marked by hunches of hair as some
head went against an Iron standard,
the dust of buttle covered the strug

yield. The small boys and nil the girls
were howling In concert, scared into
tits, for all thought murder would bo
done. Hut this kind of thlug must end
and It did very suddeuly.
The nou-cumbatuuts were gazing eag

tho stove upset that and lay out.
In tlmo too short for record tho big
boys were fleeing while tho teacher
camped on their, trail, laying about
with n thick cane. He was something
careless concerning the part of the
anatomy, but ho landed. He droru the
mob to a corner of the room and con
tinued to bnsto thoso boys even after
they had all made submission. Ho In
tended to Bottle tho bosslsm of that
school right there, aud ho did. Then
as tho smoko from the stove filled tho
room ho marshaled his enemies mui
standing over tbcm forced them to
right tho stovo aud pour cold water
on Wilson.
Tho teacher's head had a scries of
bumps much resembling a map of the
Dig Horns, Hut others also displayed
mouutnlnous regions where naught but
hair had previously existed. Hluck
eyes once blue wero frequent. In fnct,
tho teacher was tho only ono In tho
bicker to Ignore his bruises. Tho oth

poorly suppressed groans nt lutervnls.
Wilson crave 1 and obtained permission
to speak and mndo a manly apology bo

the hosplt.il, writes (leorgo Lynch lu

be the home of over sixty families of
storks, aud where sometimes six stork
nests could be counted on the roofs of

Ancient Cemeterr of HI. I'uiil In I'arl
ill Hnpimned llnrlnl I'lnce.
Ono of the old houses of l'arls, situ
ntcd at 17 Hue Hoautrelllls, Is about to
disappear, and tho place thereof will
know It no mora. It hns been handed
over to workmen, who will demolish
It to make room for n workshop. Itlio
llcautrelllls Is nn ancient mid narrow
street which tho omnibuses do not
penetrate, rcmunnt of tho times when
the I'lnce dos Vosges wail tho I'lnce
I loyal and the homo of beaux, "po
ruked," nnd red-headed. In the gar
den of the doomed house, famous In
times past ns the residence of distin
guished persons, Is a grave which local
tradition snys Is the resting-place of
that mysterious figure lu history tho
Man with the Iron Mask, says the
Paris correspondent of tho Pall Mali
Oazette. Ono remembers that this re
markable person died In the Hastlle In
170.1 and the local register says he was
burled In the parish of Ut Paul. Now.
this garden undoubtedly forms a part
of the ancient cemetery of Ht. Paul,
nnd tho church. Itself, la near at hand,
set In the midst of a cluster of old
houses. It Is In the garden that the
famous Iron Mask Is said to hare been
burled, and the spot Is the Mecca of
dally pilgrimages. Outwardly, the
place la unlovely enough, ragged and
uncultivated. A few poor bedraggled
flowers try to live on, cut off from tho
sunshine by the over-topping houses,
aud prematurely faded by the smoke
from a neighboring wash-bouse, out of
sheer respect for a great name. In a
comer, where are the decayed trunks
of some acacias, and where a pool of
stagnant water gives an additional as
pect of melancholy, Is the reputed
grave of the Iron Mask. The old at
tendant will tell you that the water
does not run away because there Is a
vault beneath covered over with a
thick beti of cement In the middle of
the garden there Is a subterranean pas
sage which leads by gentle descent
direct to the cave of burial. The ques
tion which is ngltatlng the minds of
tho "Old Paris" society which watches
over these matters is whether the
aones of this fascinating figure of n
former century arc really there. This
will be settled, perhaps, when the
tomb Is opened. Will the (Strange In
strument that he wore for so many
years lie found, rust-eaten, among the
remains? Actually, there Is on the
grave a column which bears an Inscrip
tion, cut with a knife. "Hero lies Mar-
chlnll, the Man with the Iron Mask."
It would appear that the Inscription
was copied from a stouc, which was
formerly in place there. The ancient
cemetery of St Paul Is now almost
built over. Here, however. If one may
again believe the tradition of the quar
ter, have lain the ashes of Ilabelals, of

A woman was recently robbed of
73.000 In bills at 8 o'clock nt night,
her dress being literally cut from her
liody by the thieves. An unprotected
woman has no business to be carrying
$3,000 at night anywhere unless she
la prepared to take the consequences.
Within the past year the newspapers
have recorded hundreds of cases of
murder, assault, torture, robbery nnd
arson, all due to the criminal careless
ness of people keeping In their houses
or on their persons, large sums of
money which should be safely lodged
in the banks. Many people are preju
diced against the banks, but where
there Is one bank failure there are a
hundred robberies. It Is easy to take
proper precautions but practically Im
possible to catch thieves.

BUYING DINDINQ TWINE.
Tht Following Polnli Should bt Kipt Is
Mind.
ISotvara of unscrupulous dealers who
misrepresent the quality of this imjiott
ant article.
Tho Iswt material for Wilding Twino
.Is puro .Manila fibre, Tho poorest ma
terial for Diluting Twine Is Plsat fibre,
Tho beat Illnding Twino is I'nro Ma
nila, sulcotoil flbrn, 050 leet to
the und. Tho next grade Is made
partly of Pure Manila tlbro and runs
GOO feet to tho pound.
Twino mado of Pleat flbro cannot bo
spun longer than 600 feet to tho pound
with proper strength and evenness.
Tho great question Is how many
bundles can you bind with one dollar's
worth of Twine? Notice tho length,
per noond,and figure how many fcot of
Twine you get fosa dollar. The mixed
fibre twino Is 20 per cent longor than
tlio Sisal grades. Tho Pure Manila
Twine is 30 per cent longer. It Is a
simple problem in arithmetic. Una a
little "horsj aneo" and you cannot
I fail to decide right.
I Standard Twine is Sisal Twine, col-
orod or dyed to imitate Manila, and is
sarno longth to tho pound as Hltal, is
the some strength and same price at all
factories where it is made. Some
dealers are selling it for a better grade
than Sisal, which it is not. When
thoy misrepresent the twine and use
deception to enlarge their profit do
I they deearve patronage?
If Twine is mado of Pars Manila
. flbro the tag attached to each ball will
always bear the words '"Pure Manila.''
If Twine contains any Manila flbro
the word "Manila" will always appear
on the tag, for no dealer or maker will
fall to put on the labels any fact which
will recommend his goods.
The "Hed Clover Lea!" is the best
grado of Twine mido and is the favor
ite with the farmers all over the Pacific
coast, and is of guaranteed length and
strength.
Tho Manila grades are the smoothest,
erenest and most satisfactory in every
respect.
The Sisal grades are rough, coarse
and harsh; they wear out tho knotters,
twine guides and twine holders on the
binders very fast and are to stiff and
unyieiuing mat tlie Knots are more like
ly to slip and become untied when tho
bundle drops from the binder or in
shocking and hauling.
Somo twines aro sold merely by the
name of the manufacturer and the
salesman is careful not to mention the
grade or quality. In baying always
require specific information as to the
quality of the Twine, and, moreover,
be very careful to inspect the tag at
tached to the balls. Tho buyer,1f well
informed, cannot be deceived.
Manila fibre is all brought from the
Philippine islands. The Pacific coast
should especially encourage trade with i
these islands, for they now belong to i
our country, and in Asiatic trade lies j
our best hopo for the future, for the j
reason that when this trade is dovel-!
opod tho Pacific coast will control it ;
and our commerce will increase a.
thousand fold. I
The only check that can be put upon
the rapacity of the producers of Sisal '
fibre In lucatan (which is the cause of
the present high price of twine) is the
largest possible nso of Manila flbro.
