Donegan, the pickpocket, -known on the row as Hoot, glanced up at Silver- stein, grunted out an oath, and then letting his head fall on his breast again relapsed into silence. "What is it, Hoot?" Si]verstein was growing curious. He had done light fingered work for a time himself and knew something of the changing conditions of a man's life when he made himself an offensive en- emy of society. "See that, Jew?" said the pickpocket, hauling a scarfpin from his vest pocket. It was a short gold pin, topped with a huge `pearl of that rare virgin pink. It seemed to be a valuable bit, and Sil- verstein's eyes glistened as he looked at it. "Take it to Cooney," he said in a whisper. "He's safe." The pickpocket laughed in hollow fashion. "Too safe," he said. Then he straightened up, threw his hat back on his head and said a "Silverstein, in these days a man like me ain't got :no license to live. What's the skill of my hand, that can take most anything from a screw stud to a scarf- pI from a man without his knowing it, against the brain of a man that can make them things?" "Are you nutty, Hoot?" inquired the puller in, edging away. "No, Jew, no; but listen to me. Yon know the hotels are my graft and this region down here my market. Well, I was out spotting today, and finally along comes a feller that I sized up fer my meat. He was a dressy guy, with all color ribbons on his hat and them spready soles; on his shoes. He had a big pink necktie on, and- in it this here pin was stuck. From the size of his chain, I said to myself that the punkin on the end of it must be a bird, but when I see that pink pearl I decided to let the watch go and make for that. "Well, he was a nervous cuss, and I couldn't get a chance at him fer a long time. I followed him up Broadway and laid for him outside a restaurant while he took lunch. Then he met a lady, and they took more lunch together. When he came out, 'the tt,wo took a hansom, and I hear him say to the driver, 'Arjound the park.' Well, I follow the halsom to the park, and, seeing which entrance it goes in, lay around the cir- cle for it to come out again. Two hours I waited there, Jew, .and then I see the [hansom and runs off two pounds a -fol - /lowing it clown town. My man, he leaves the lady at a house, then drives to the corner of Broadway and starts to to walking down slowly. Now, says 'I've got him.' But I didn't get him. He meets a friend, and they go and play billiards fer two more hours. Well, I was busting, I was so mad, but I made up my mind to stick. I see a dozen juicy chances go by, but I couldn't leave that pink pearl. My eyes watered at think- ing of it and my fingers itched for it. By and by my man comes out, and he and his friend go in a saloon, one of them places where you stand up at a sideboard. I followed and jest as my man lifts a glass up to drink I posh against Ms friend. The friend pushes againstlhim, and he turns around. I was waiting, of course, and next min- ute the pearl was mine. It was a long chance, Jew, but you know a feller'll take them once in awhile. When the guy turns around, I was chewing a sand- wich from the counter and bawling to the waiter for a check.es the in. Damn " Well, the guy P me if I know what put him on. You know I don't mess a job like that, Jew. My heart was a -going hard, Jew, but I almost falls over when I see him put his hand up to the tie, feel around and then, instead of hollering murder, police, watch and a dozen other things, just grin and say to his friend, 'Some sucker's got sgold brick.' "There was me with the pin in me palm all ready to drop it in the salad on the counter. When he don't make a hol- ler, though, I snakes her back in my pocket and in two minutes am on the way down to Cooney. "I saw easy times and no chances fer a couple of weeks on the strength of that pearl, Jew, and when I tossed it over to Cooney I said, 'Give me $250, a quarter and value.' Cooney whistles at the pin TO. FOR SERVICE The undersigned will keep for service on Lot 84, Concession 4, Tuck- eremith, a thoroughbred Chester White Boar, purchased from H.

ROBERTS Having taken a course of studies at the Detroit Optical Institute, is prepared to fit all defects of vision, Astigmatism, Hypermetropia, Myopia, Presbyopia, or any compound defeat. Astigmatism is due to irregular shape of the eye, and is usually congenital, but is often caused by im- properly fitted glasses. Many school children with this defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted glasses they may become the brightest of scholars. This is quite a common and dangercus defect. 1 ?per anetropia is a malformation which keeps; the ciliary wusole in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is at rest when looking at a distance. This defect, if neglected, mi y result in nervous depresaion and pain, and even prostration. Mycpia is a diseased condition of the eye, which should be very carefully fitted to ulti- mate perhaps prevent an increase of the defect, and pe ps mate blindness. Presbyopia is a loss of accommoda- tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless cor- rected by artificial aid. Frequently nervous or sick headaches, and also serious illness, are brought on by one or more of the above defects. Remember, no charge for testing your eyes. J.S. ROBERTS, Cheinist and Druggist, Seaforth. ..• 4..

And he named one of the numerous im itatio:ls of the fragrant berry. "Never had a cup of it in the house," said the bilious man emphatically. "That's funny," said the grocer.

Of course there is no goal nor any tactics to speak of, the object of Bach animal being to keep the ball to lmself as much as possible. - Still the competition to get the ball makes it resemble a real game of "foot - r," and the dexterity exhibited by hese peculiar amateurs is surprising nd wonderful.

Next to penmanship the colonial. school and schoolmaster took firm stand on "ciphering." "The Bible and fig- gers is what I want my boys to know," said the old farmer. I have examined with care a Wingate's Arithmetic which was used foe over a century in the Wins- low family in Massachusetts. The first edition was printed in 1620. It is cer- tainly bewildering to a modern reader. "Pythagoras—His Table" is, of course, •our multiplication table. Then comes "The Rule of Three, " "The Double Golden Rule," "The Rule of Fellow- ship," "The Rule of False," etc., end- ing- with "a collection of pleasant and polite questions to exercise all the parts of vulgar arithmetick." Wingate's Arithmetic and Hodder'f Airthmetio were succeeded by Pike's Arithmetic. This had 363 rules to be committed to memory, and not an explanation was given of one of them.. It is the most barren schoolbook I bale ever read. These printed arith- meitics were not in common use. Near- ly all teachers had manuscript "sum books," from which the scholars oopied page after page of "slams, " too often without any explanation of the process, though there were also many and long rules, which helped the penmanship if they did not the matlltematica--Chaa- tauquan. i THOMAS RUSSELL, Riverside Farm, Usborne, bas for boars, a number -of and thoroughbred tbLeiclestered ramsrkshire lambs.

She is inclined to do all she OM to make other people be- lieve she is somebody and that she is fitted for a higher sphere than the one she is forced by adverse circumstances to live in. A short time age Mrs. Haughty called on a neighbor and accepted an invitation to stay to supper. ' Mush and milk was the principal supper dish, and Mrs. Haughty declared with sundry ejacula- tions that she had never eaten the de- lightful compound.

Mrs. Haughty ade a move, and one of the children a the table leaned over to her mother and whispered: "She said, she never ate mush and milk, but she dipped her spoon in the milk before she dipped it into the mush." That little movement gave Mre. Haughty away, for every lover of mush and milk knows that if the spoon is first dipped into the milk the =nab will not stick to- it. -Omaha World -Herald. Daudet and Animals. Daudet had a fur Ing kindness for sinners. He pitied til em, for he could not see how in the long run •they could succeed in anything. but the self right- eous were more offensive to him. I think he was right in saying that men and women who pass .for having never sinned are unpleasant oompanions, and, from the day of judgment standard, perhaps the worst sinners of all. The sensibility shown in "Jack" and other works did not extend to animals. Dan- - det, though a oigalier, was deaf to the chirp of grasshopper and cricket. Birds have no place in his rural sketches. He could not understand the touching beauty of the "last friend" at the poor man's funeral. Animals were simply brutes to Daudet. At best they were warnings to human beings not to live merely to eat, sleep and leave posterity behind them. They sometimes were vices incarnate. Such were the fox, the serpent, the scorpion. What a selfish, heartless thing the ant wast It had a head if you will, but it was the sort of head that organizes labor in sooty fac- tory towns. The dog was the beastliest beast of any.

NO WITNESSES REQUIRED, A Tacking Sheep's Nesd. John Leitch of Rothesay once when on a visit to Dnnoon dropped into the shop of Archie 1Mains and asked if he had any good sheep's heads.. "Oh, yes," said Maine, "there's as fine a one as ye ever saw," pointing to • black face lying ion the floor. _ "Are you sure that it is fresh?" said Mr. Leitch. "Quite sure, sir, " replied the butcher. "It's perfectly fresh." Thereupon Mir. Leitch, who was an admirable ventriloquist, brought from the sheep's head the rather confounding ejaculation: "Ob, what a lee! I'm stinkin. " "Oot o' my shop, ye leein deevil," exclaimed the butcher. "Didn't I kill ye wi' my sin hauns this very mornin?" And, ebiting the action to the words, he kicked the offending sheep's head into the street. To carry on the joke, Mr. Leitch, ob- serving a fine ox tongue in the window, made it apparently say, "Shame on ye, Arohie Mains l" whereupon the amazed butcher fled precipitately from the shop, leaving ft and all it contained at the mercy of his waggish tormentor. —Nug- "gets. - An Arbitrary Fee. • Victor Smith - tells this story in the New York Press: "My father was an old time lawyer. He tried a little case for his bootmaker and entered on the books a charge of $1'5, the price of a new pair of boots. When the latter was de-� livered, the accompanying bill was $80. A man of any other profession would have taken offense at the apparent effort to "do" him, but the lawyer smilingly raised his fee to $45, and Mr. Smart Aleck Bootmaker had to pay. That was an arbitrary fee. Doctors sometimes e$4 joy the privileges of it." Not :Guilty. Mistress of the House --My good man. did you ever take a bath?
