The other smiled discreetly. "They are the children of my niece, and she was making a convenience of me. Of course I love the children, but I never allow myself to become much of a victim of Imposition. My niece Is an extremely gay young wid ow, and she does not like to take care of her children. She Is fond of shop ping, matinees, afternoon teas and ev erything.

"I suppose that made your niece angry?" "Oh. no; it couldn't I never said anything about it. The last time the children came over I spent the after non teaching them verses from the Bible, and they didn't find It sufficient ly entertaining. They never came back.

The Only Time That Old John Jacob Sold Real Estate. "One of the most stringent real es tate rules of the Astor family Is never sell, and only one sale Is recorded In the entire life of old John Jacob As tor," said Nlles F. Watklns, a real es tate broker of New York. "In 1830 Astor tore down his bouse In Broad way, cleared the whole block from Vesey to Barclay street and built the huge Qnlncy granite hotel known as the Astor House, which was one of the first notable landmarks In New York and also one of the best paying pieces of property. "A few days after It was finished the old gentleman and his eldest son, Wil liam, were walking through City Hall park, where the postofflce now stands, ana stopped a moment to admire the building, the finest hotel In America at that time. " 'Pop, that's a mighty fine building.' said William. 'I wish to gracious It was mine.' "'Sor answered the father. 'Well. Billy, give me $1 and you can have It' "Out came the dollar a bis silver dollar that is cherished by the family to tnis day and within an hour the deed of the property was made out and recorded. This was old Mr. Aster's only sale of real estate In his life." Washington Herald. - $59,000 FOR A BIBLE. First Book Printed From Durable Type Highest Price Erer Paid. The first book ever printed from movable type brought the highest price ever paid for any book. The prize was the Gutterburg Bible, the purchaser, Henry E. Huntington, of Los Angeles, and the price $50,000. The purchase was made at the opening session of the sale of books library of the late Robert Hoe, the largest public auction sale of books ever attempted. Experts have es timated the collection to be worth more than a million dollars, and wealthy amateurs and dealers from Europe have come to vie with the American collectors in the bidding. It was evident from the progress of the sale that American bidders would take in the cream of the offerings at prices averaging higher than any ever offered at public book auction. The highest price previously paid for the Guttenberg Bible was $20, 000, at which Bernard Quaritch purchased it in England fourteen years ago. At a private sale he dis posed of it shortly afterward to Mr. Hoe at a profit of $2,500 and it has remained in the Hoe collection ever since. : The copy was printed some time between ,1450 and 1455.

Health is Worth Saving and Some Scotland Neck Peo ple Know how to Save It. Many Scotland Neck people take their lives in their hands by neglect ing the kidneys when they know these organs need- help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health health, but there is no need to suf fer nor to remain in danger when most all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly relieved by the use of Doan's Kid ney Pills. Here is a Scotland Neck citizen's recommendation: Miss Lucy Hancock, Main street, Scotland Neck, N. C, says: "I wil lingly verify my former endorse ment of Doan's Kidney Pills, given in January 1908. I got this remedy from E. T. Whitehead Company's drug store, and it benefitted me greatlv when I was suffering from kidney complaint. Since then I have used Doan's Kidney Pills occasional ly and they have always brought the best of results." For sale by all -dealers. Price 50 cents.

A Father Who Viewed Conditions From a Different Standpoint Than Did His Son, Physician. ' Twenty years ago, says the Chicago j Advance, a discouraged young doctor In a large city was visited once by his old father, who came up from a rural district to look after his boy. ' "Well, son," he said, "bo are yon getting along r Tm not getting along at all," was the disheartened reply. "I'm not do ing a thing." The old man's countenance fell, but he spoke of courage and patience and perseverance. Later In the day be went with his son to the free dis pensary, where the young doctor bad an unsalaried position and where lis spent an hour or snore every day. The father sat by, a silent but Intensely In terested spectator, while twenty-flve poor unfortunates received help. The doctor forgot his visitor while he bent his skilled energies to the task, but hardly bad the door closed on the last patient when the old man burst forth: "I-thought you told me that you were hot doing anything! Why, If I had helped twenty-five people In a month as much as you have In one morning I would thank God my life counted for something." "There Isn't any money in it, though," explained the son, somewhat abashed. "Money I" the old man shout ed, still scornfully. "Money I What Is money In comparison with being of use to your fellow men? Never mind about money. Ton go right along at this work every day.

Theories cause the imagination to work overtime. A 8olomon-like Decision. A Rhode Island justice was called upon to determine the ownership of a brood of turkeys. The flock, consist ing of fifteen young ones, was moth ered by two hens, a white one and a bronze, and had been running for quite a time over two adjoining farms. The owner of the white hen declared that the turkeys were bit, while the man who owned the bronze hen assert ed just as positively that they belong ed to him. The Justice was puzzled. At last a witness came forward who swore that he bad seen a dog chase the flock: that at the dog's approach the young birds flew up Into a tree and the bronze hen took to the woods, but the white hen turned and gave uaiue to tne dog. The justice there upon decided that the owner of the white hen was also the rightful own er of the brood of young turkeys. New York Press.

Here are the methods which Dumas the elder and Victor Hugo employed when they had a new play to offer to the theater. Dumas would write to the director of the Porte St. Martin: My Dear Friend I . shall bring you on Monday a play In five acta, I shall need Mile. Georges, Mm. Dorval, Boeage, Lock roy. Provost and five new scenes. This extravagance would alarm the director, who would put off the pro duction of the play till better days. Then Victor Hugo would appear and shyly draw a manuscript out of his docket. He would agree to everything. The stock company would play his piece admirably, since all be wanted was a good ensemble; no new decora tions would be needed nor any change at all. So the piece would be read, and as the roles were distributed Hugo would say musingly. "Dleu. how fine Freder ick would be In that parti" 'That hi true," Horel would murmur, and a few days after he would announce that Frederick was engaged. Hugo would then remonstrate that this destroyed the equipoise of the cast, and Baaeourt, Laferrlere and Mile. Georges would be engaged. Then Hugo would attack the stage setting. Old scenes that the public had tired of were almost an Insult to these great artists. If Horel showed reluctance at this, Hugo would threaten to withdraw his piece. And so the game would go on till, little by little. Hugo had obtained er- eryrnmg ne wanted, even to the changing of the paper hangings In the stage boxes.

The great stony desert of north Ana. tralla was discovered by Captain Start, an Australian explorer. In 1845-0. It Is north of the 'river Darling and Is about 300 miles long and 100 broad, consisting of sandy dunes or ridges. Its want of trees, except along the creeks, gives the country a sterile ap pearance. These ridges were probably formed by the Joint effect of winds and a gradually retiring sea. Accord ing to Captain Start, these waters were gradually lost by evaporation or carried to some undiscovered sea.
