Particular attention is called In tbe
journal already mentioned to the crate,
shown in the second cut by a writer
wbo describes it thus: As can be seen,
all the slats composing it are upright,
obviating thereby the use of corner
supports, for, as pot together, the slats
lap at tbe corners and, being well nail
ed, afford great nrmness u xam wuvm

in that the crate can thus be made of

some leather straps for handles, one on

manner, tbe crate is indispensable for

Copyright, 1809, by Zoo Anderson Norria.
It was the afternoon before Christmas
eve, and John Doolnn paced the pave
ments, his bands in his pockets, his eyes
glancing restlessly about, looking for
work. He was hard up. Ho w:t worse
than hard up. He was on the ragged
edge of despair, penniless and hungry.
He had spent his last dime for supper
tbe night before.
His room was in a tenement house
west of Ninth svopue, near the river,
but ha had managed to walk as far as
Rector street, walking on and on in the
unavailing effort to forget his hunger.
Tbe exercise only served to whet bis ap
petite. By the time he had arrived at
the station he was famished.
He stopped at the foot of the steps
and stood there looking at n nearby
building In process of erection and at the
dusty swarm of hod carriers crawling up
and down the ladders like so many ants.
Turning away, he watched the men in
overalls at work on the car track, listen
ed to tbe resonant click of their picks
and idly noted the uinihluness with which
they sprang back at the approach of tbe
car, only to close up the ranks ouce more
almost beneath the wheels ns it pnawd
It seemed to Doolnn that be alone was
unfortunate. Everybody in the world
appeared to be able to get work with tbe
exception of himself, lie had applied
for place after place, as hud carrier.
as street cleaner, as truck driver, hut as
each vacant place had 20 applicants or
more already standing in line before it in

to try bis luck up town.

"Twcnty-elghtb street I" coiled the
guurd.
Doolnn made his way to the platform.
descended tbe steps and wslked straight
toward Ninth avenue, thence on to the
tenement house overlooking tbe river In
which be lived.
Inside be climbed numberless flights of
stairs, rescbed his room, shut tbe door,
turned the key In the lock and, taking out
the envelope, examined its contents.
First there was a letter. It was ad
dressed to a well known multimillionaire.
It read thus:
1 band you herewith the cash to bind our
verbal deal of last night, (10,000, lees t for rev
enue stamps.
Tbe signature was familiar as his own.
Doolnn sank into a-chnlr, speechless.
Mechanically be stsred about biui at the
ghastly poverty of the room: at the nar
row bed covered by tbe soiled and worn
counterpane; at the small and rickety
washstand, with its broken necked pitch
er; at the tiny cracked mirror banging
above it, dangling tipsily sldewlse on its
crooked nail; at tbe bare and curtainless
window through whose dingy panes the
chill winter sunshine steeped languidly.
Then, burying his face In bis bands, be
shut out tbe sight of it fcll and tobk to
dreaming dreams.
Ten thousand dollars! It was untold
wealth. Oaunt eyed poverty departed
from his threshold, never to return, and
gilded affluence beckoned him on. With
a slgb of rapture be followed.
No more tramping of endless streets In
tbe endless search for work,, no more
hunger, no more weariness of mind and
body and soul, and no more heartaches.
In that long white envelope lay the pan
acea for most evils the flesh is heir lo.
It was all well enough, be thought, for
those wbo sst at their ease In golden
chairs to talk of the nobility of poverty,
It took s being of superhuman strength
to bear up beneath tbe actual burden of
it. It took a philosopher, and be was ao
philosopher.
He kicked a corner of the ragged car
pet into place, arose, walked to tbe mir
ror and looked at bis face. It was on-
shaven. Before he could go to a decent
restaurant be must bare a shave. Weil,
there was tbe money. He could afford
luxuries now. He would Indulge in luxu
ries.
Ah, the power of money I As be pat

he suddenly remembered a little old wom

a friendless little old woman and home
less. Otherwise she would hardly bnvr

evening, walking up and down there la
tbe parlor, she bad repeated a verse tbat
ran like this:

There Is ao friend so trot as s dollar at two.
Wise little old woman! He smiled as
be thought of tbe envelope, tucked snugly
swsy In bis vest pocket. In wblcb there
reposed many s dollar or two.
And sesId be fell to dreaming.
By snd by so nnessy thought pervaded
the luminous brilliancy of bis dreams.

His conscirace said emphatically and
firmly, "No!' It belonged by rights to
tbe old man wbo bad lust It.
Bat the old man was s ssaa of wealth,
Te him $10,000 was a mere bagatelle.
He could easily sfford to lose that much
money every week of his life sad not

The rich and tbe poor, the sickening
contrast between the two, the haughty
carelessness of the one, the abject hu
mility of tbe other, whose outstretched
bands forever solicited alms! Another
day, and bis hand would have been out
stretched. He, too, would have been
forced to beg. With an cxclnmution of
thankfulness he clasped bis. hand to bis
side, thus holding more securely In its
place the money which had saved him
from such dire humiliation.
Yes, 110,000 was ouly a drop in the
bucket to that rich old ninn. He could
well afford to lose It. lie would keep
me money, it nua been dropped by a
special providence at bis very feet. It
would be the height of folly to fly la the

He would keep it.
And here be resolutely set his teeth.
Nevertheless he had forgotten bis in
tention of shaving. He hud almost for
gotten his buuger in the mental struggle
through which he wus passiug. No; be
would not keep the money. Rightfully it
belonged to the millionaire. He took out
the envelope and looked for the old man's
address. Fifth avenue! He lived In a
palace probably, among tbe rest of the
mlUlonalics.
If be lived in a palace, then be' could
do without a paltry ten thousand, and be
should 1 He would keep it!
Ouce more he begnu to dream of
things to eat. Ah. those things to cat!
They were homely things at first sand
wiches, bum aud egg, and coffee with
cream, real cream, frothy and yellow
and thick, such cream as be bad tasted
in bis boyhood, ages before, cream lying
densely upon the top of tbe milk pans In
tbe springhonse. Into which he hod dip
ped his - fingers nguiu aud uguiu and
again. It was a loug time since he bad
bad real cream in bis coffee. Later,
after tbe ham jiud eggs and coffee, he
would Indulge perhaps in rnnvasback
duck, pate de foi gins and champagne.
But this lusatlable appetite of bis inui-t
be fed first with substuntiul things with
which his palate was familiar.
But ought he to keep tbe money 7 Was
it his T.
Long before he had faced about and
proceeded up town. Again be consulted
the letter. Again he found the address.
V'f He walked on and on and oo toward
Fifty-ninth street. His footsteps lagged.
By now be was weak from hunger; but.

and wrong, which would not let him rest
nntll he had seen the old man and given
him back bis money, be made bis 'slow
way to tbe number given in tbe letter.
It was a palace, as be bud supposed.
He hesitated as he looked up at the
grandeur of it. How little that old man
Deeded the money and bow hungry be
was!
His hesitation "was Only momentary.
He walked resolutely up tbe marble steps
snd pushed tbe button.
A magnificent flunky, resplendent in
blue and brass buttons, appeared at the
opening of tbe door. lie glanced haugh
tily over Doolan's bead and asked what
he wanted.
Doolan Informed him tbat be wanted to
see tbe millionaire.
The flunky with a sarcastic Inflection
asked for bis card.
Of course Doolan bad no card. He
gave blm bis nnmo.
The flunky left him standing there on
the outside while be retired within. Pres

matter which be wished to discuss with
the millionaire, and with tbe millionaire
alone, whereupon tbe flunky brutally
bade blm be off and slammed tbe big
doors in his face.
Doolan walked slowly down the broad

There are few more expressive

scribes a few expressions used by na

deserve a wider vogue.
Speaking of an egotist, they say,
He knows two for biuiself and not

"He Is like the cock that sings at

Perfect Flee.
Many persons interested in the nat
ural history of tho sheep do not clear
ly understand what density of tbe
fleece means. Wool, ss It exists in the
fleece. Is valued as to quantity and
quality. Quality depends on length and
closeness of tbe fibers. The latter is ths
density of the fleece. This depends on
natural peculiarity and exists in a re
markable degree In certain breeds and
In families of these. Pure Spanish Me
rino wool lias about 43.000 flhers on a
square Inch of skin. Tbe finest and
densest wool Is oo the suouklers.
A perfect llecrc will bo even In fine
ness from tbe shoulder lo tbe thigh, of
Dearly equal length of staple on the
back over on the sides from tbe shoul
der to tbe thigh, snd equal In density
on tbe shoulder snd back from loin to
loin. Tbe sbeep is tbe most Impreasiva
of all tbe domestic animals. The selec
tion of tbe father of tbe flock Is
thought so Important tbat experts ars
employed to select rams.
