Tom watched the diminutive figure Out of sight and bestowed an envious glance upon the yonng man -who was dofnff escort duty before he replied: "The Duke, with her arms full ol flowers, as usual." - "The Duke?" repeated Harry. "Is she nh nice?" "See here, my young friend, If you don't want all Newspaper row on your jCervlx don't put any question mark aft er 'nice' when you speak of the Dukel" replied Tom, bis eyes flashing angrily, as if be were Inclined to begin hostili ties without waiting for the rest of the row., ... Harry put Tbe Times bulletin be tween them before be stammered: "I didn't vmean anything disngreeable, Tom. I don't .know her, but I wish 1 did.1 ' Groups of men came straggling out Of the offices of The Times, Herald and Echo just then and, joining forces, umdo tbelr way to a restaurant aroUud the corner. . When hunger bad been satisfied and cigars lighted, Tom motioned toward Harry, saying. "Boys, there's a fellow who doesn't know the Duke and never worked ou Tbe Echo!" Just then Billy Holliday came In, and some one shouted, "Say, Billy, here's a fellow who doesn't know the Dukel" "Tetl bim, Billy," called another, and every man settled Into bis customary attitude for listening to a favorite sto ry. ' Billy sank into a chair wltb every appearance of extreme exhaustion. Ap propriating whatever delicacies the oth ers bad not appreciated, be consumed them while waiting for bis own order to be served. When the clamor for the story be came uproarious, Billy began: "Once a society editor surprised tbe row by get ting married. Then Bessie Wellington appeared on Tbe Echo. She was such a little slip of a thing and bad such a pathetically frightened look in tbe eyes hat tbe boys began to call ber tbe Iron Duke,, and the Duke she's been ever altfce. "It was ber first job, and she was eager for work. Land knows, she got enough of It! The typewriter bothered ber, and punctuation was a pitfall. She did ber work over and over again, try ing to please Knap, who wouldn't have been satisfied wltb an angel from beaven. It used to seem to me be rang ber bell every ten minutes. She would come flying down tbe ball to tbe local room,; ber dimples turned Inside out and ber mouth shut hard so it wouldn't quiver! Then ' she'd go back pink to the ears, and the boys would pound tbelr typewriters fit to break. We used to aneak bits of -opy to her all ready to go up. 1 fell Into the bablt of col lecting personals ami club notes and even a wedding now and then, and Larry; there, was taken for a society reporter for quite awhile." - Larry abied a crust of bread at Billy, who deftly caught It and returned the compliment before be continued. "One Friday night, when sne was get ting w -.ber Sunday page, I passed the door just as Knap bounded Into ber room. His beam looaea as u ue uuu been clawing out handfuls. "See here!' be yelled., 'Didn't I tell you to get in the Tubvllle social before mldnlghtr Ifi almost ready,' said tbe Duke ana bent over ber typewriter in a urue heap. "After the Tubvllle was in anu wur slacked np a bit I carried in a sana wlch and made ber eat it while 1 ground out some rewrite for ber.

Pointing to an ornamental atnn. nice which ran some six feet below the window, the Duke motioned along it toward the corner farthest from the lire, we caught the idea, but it seemed a sum cnance, and no one moved. "Finally the little Duke screamed, IUU cowards, follow me! She swung ..emeu careruny over the sill and, banging by her hands, Just touched the cornice with her toes. Getting as firm a foothold as possible on the nar row ledge, she steadied herself and moved to one side, waiting. We let Knap out next When he was finally on the cornice, he clung to the wall and refused fo move. At last the Dnke seized his hand and began feeling her way aiong tne wall, gently pulling him after her. Knap followed somehow, and the rest of us swung out after him In a hurry, for the floors were quiver ing and the smoke was rolling in vol umes from the windows below us. Just as I swung out I heard a pistol shot and knew the telegraph man had taken the way he thought best "We clung to the wall and crept along like flies. We were fairly steady ex cept Knap, and my heart was in my mouth for fear be would lurch off and carry the Duke with him. But bis knees stiffened at last, and be did bet ter, though be never, for a moment let go the girl's hand.' The bricks were getting hotter and hotter to the touch, and the flames seemed to be sweeping toward our end of the building. "At last the crowd saw us through a rift in the smoke, and a shout went up that seemed almost to tear us from our perilous bold. The firemen worked fast, I suppose, but It seemed ages to us, waiting at the corner of tbe build ing. Tbe fireman first up tbe ladder was sobbing like a child, but be hadn't lost his nerve for all that He saw Knap's condition and knew be would fall if forced to loose his hold on the Duke, so he seized them both. Tbe rest of us were soon on the ladder, though some were pretty helpless, for the bricks were fearfully hot toward the end." "Billy's hands were cooked through," Interpolated Larry. "It was a good many weeks before some of us were back on The Echo, al though the paper was printed next duy with borrowed reporters and presses. Knap was tbe first one back, but you wouldn't have known him for the fel low who had bullyragged us so. His hair was white and bis face too. He was so mild be couldn't manage the new men and had to be taken off tbe desk and put on editorials. "Well, It all happened five years ago, but tbe Duke is still commander In chief on The Echo," concluded Billy. "But I have a notion she'll some day confine her orders to Billy," whispered Tom as he rose, stein in band, to pro pose tbe usual toast: "Boys, tbe Duke!" Every man was on his feet In an in stant "The Duke, God bless ber!" Old Time Education of Children. Now that there is so much talk about education it Is interesting to look back and see what a seventeenth century moralist bad to say about the teaching of children. "We are in Fain to mase them Scholars, but not Men," he wrote; "to talk rather than to know, wnicn Is true Canting. The first Thing obvi ous to Children is what is sensible, and that we make no Part of their Kudi ments." But what is of most significance to us is the same writer's appeal for tech nical education. "We press their Mem ory too soon and puzzle, strain and load them with Words and Rules; to know Grammar and Rhetoric and a tranire Tongue or two that it Is ten to one may never be useful to them; Leav ing their natural Genius to Mechanical and Physical or Natural knowledge un cultivated and neglected which would be of exceeding Use and Pleasure U them through the whole Course of their Life." After all. It Is the reformer rather than tbe historian wbo Is forced to use vain repetition. London unromcie. The Brave Boblna.

Every circus or wild west show that comes to town has a "whirling dervish" for one of its attractions, and they are certainly wonderful creatures. They are Mohammedans from Persia, a set of men who de vote or are supposed to devote their entire time to religion and are per haps as nearly like monks as any thing else. Fasting for days at a time, with continual prayer, at least affects their minds, and they think they see wonderful visions, which they disclose to their superstitious brothers, over whom they havo great influence. They are always miserably poor, living on charity, and earn what little they have by being hired to mourn at funerals or to conduct religious ceremonies. Some of these men perform won derful tricks, such as fire eating, juggling and walking on broken glass. IIow they do them will never be known, but they are supposed to be invested with supernatural pow er, which is of course untrue. We are all familiar with the "whirling" of the dervishes. This takes yean of practice, but finally they become so expert and are so used to it that they can "whirl" for hours without becoming dizzy. A Hoof Inkstand. Among Queen Alexandra's most cherished possessions is an odd me mento of her mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, in the shape of a gold mounted inkstand. Now, there are inkstands and inkstands, and the peculiar feature about the one I speak of is that it was made from the hoof of the queen's favorite rid-" ing horse. Cleansed, polished and artistically mounted in gold, with a chased gold cover and cut glass well, it forms a curio and memento of exceptional interest. An Experiment. It i3 very wonderful what effects are produced by different kinds of light. Here is an experiment to try with the help of a "grownup:" Put in a soup plnte a few tablespoonfuls of salt, then pour enough alcohol over the salt to thoroughly saturate it. Put the dish in the middle of a table in a perfectly dark room and ask your guests to sit around it. Light the mixture and see how pe culiar each person will look. How Willie Spelled Hash.

Dairymen know that tbcre are as great differences between milkers as between cows and that cows will do much better with good milker, than with others. Indeed good cows are of ten almost ruined by poor milkers. The milker should avoid handling the cow more than Is necessary, and be should make it a rule to do bis work quickly and thoroughly. He should never go from a sick to a well cow without first cleansing his bands. Tbe bablt of wetting the bands wltb milk Is filthy In tbe extreme and should never be practiced. Some people, think it Is -necessary, but tblB Is a mistake. The hands should be kept dry. If tbey are not, It is Impossible to prevent drops of milk from constantly falling from them into the pall. The pall should be held close to the udder so as to expose tbe milk to tbe air as little as possible. Tbe farther the streams, fall and tbe more they spray tbe more dirt and bacteria tbey collect. Contamination from tbe fore milk must be avoided by discarding the first few streams drawn, or less than a gill in alL This entails little loss, as the first milk drawn Is always poor in butter fat, and If It happens to be badly contaminated, as Is frequently tbe case, much Injury and trouble may be saved, Farm, Field and Stockman. Canadian Batter Problem. It is somewhat strange that, although the summer and fall creamery butter of the province of Quebec Is of a finer grade than that of the' same make of western, yet tbe winter make of west ernjs superior to that of Quebec. Wo can only account for this on tbe as sumption that tbe western farmers feed their cows with nioro suitable food in tbe winter than do tbe farmers of this province, wbo use turnips and other less desirable feed, or else the western men have superior facilities In their factories during tbe cold weath er for turning out creamery butter than we have in the province of Que bec; but, whatever may be tbe cause, the fact remains that western mads winter creamery is generally oner than Quebec winter creamery, although tbe case I. reversed during summer and fall.

An Interior province of China has produced one of the most remarkable curiosities in tbe shape of long tailed fowls In the world.

A .tianaton from RnttA- Mont " - Mys a son was born to the wife of W. A. dark. Jr.. Monday bight winning the $1,000,000 gift Senator W. A.

Baltimore Sun. The industrial combines are reduc ing prices in certain linea under the stress ot competition from individ ual firms. A heavy reduction has just been made in "merchant pipe" by the National Tube Company of Pittsburg. The cut is 10 per cent or more. This makes four distinct articles in steel on which heavy cuts in prices have occurred in the last two months. First the American Sheet Steel Trust cut the price 15- a ton. Then the American Steel and Wire Trust cuts its products 14 a ton, and last the American Tinplate Trust cut tinplate 40 cents a box, The object of these reductions is not so muen to beneht tbe consumer as tf increase sales, while at tbe same flme fighting small rivals. The United States Steel Trust to which! the companies making sheets, pipe, tinplates and wire products belong has found that the small mills have been setting many of their orders, and the cuts are suf ficient to drive most of the latter out of business. There is in couse quence not a little commotion among the smaller producers whose works are less economical in opera tion than those of the great steel combine. The effect of the cut in "sheets" and tinplate has already been ielt in an increased demand. Mills which have been lying idle have resumed activity, or are about to do so. There is no intention, it is believed, to make further reduc tions of price at present or in the near future. Nor are the reduced prices a sign of decreased consump tion. "They are the result," says the Iron Age, "of an increase in productive capacity. The independ ent producers have not only become more numerous, and have not only enlarged their facilities, but the con stituent companies of the United States Steel Corporation have also increased their output. The aggre gate capacity in each line has there fore been swollen to a point in ex cess of the requirements of the coun try. Great as the consumption is at present, the productive facilities have gone beyond it. The position of the independent manufacturers is likely, from this time forward, to be somewhat uncomfortable, except in the case of those having their own supplies of raw material."
