A Dispenser of Smiles.
Her mother said: "Oh, dear!.' Isn't
that awful? What will people think?"
but the people themselves seemed to
think it about the prettiest incident
they had met that day.
She was a very little girl, white
f rocked, pink ribboned, brown curled.
With her mother she left the subway
ktrain at the Grand Cental station. The
usual confusion prevailed. Timid trav
elers grabbed suit cases and bundles
and exclaimed, "Oh, do we change
here?" Trainmen on the platform
shouted out directions for local and
express trains and the guards of that
particular car adjured the passengers
frequently syad vehemently to "Step
lively !" and to "Watch the step." Then
all of a sudden there was a lull in the
uproar. The little girl was leaving
the car. She stopped at the door, look
ed back and waved her hand.
"Gooclby, everybody," she said.
The words carried to the far end of
the car. They made every one sit up
Two or three persons called out a re
sponsive "Goodby," two or three said
"Bless the child," and all smiled. New

yhe Sea Serpent.
When.fourteeu miles off the coast of
Brazil J. Nicoll, author of "Three
Voyages of a Naturalist," observed a
sea serpent which came within about
fifty yards of the ship. "All that we
could see was a dorsal fin about four
feet long sticking up about two feet
from the water. The fin was a brown
ish black color and much resembled a
gigantic piece of ribbon seaweed. Be
low the water we could indirectly see
a very large brownish black patch, but
could not make out the shape of the
creature. Every now aifd then the fin
disappeared below the water. Sud
denly an eel-like neck, about six feet
long and of the thickness of a man's
thigh, having a head shaped like that
of a turtle, appeared in front of the fin.
lashing 'up the water with a curious
wriggling movement. This creature
was an example, I consider, of what
has been so often reported, for want
of a better name, as the 'great sea
serpent.! I feel sure, however, that It
was not a reptile that we saw, but a
mammal."

Bought His Own Work.
To come across a bit of one's own
work in print is an experience not ordi
narily exasperating to an author, but a
Washington writer on scientific mat
ters was recently not very agreeably
surprised by such a development.
It appears that the writer was col
lecting material for a monograph on
electro magnetism when word came to
him of a va'uable paper on the subject
not long before published in a Berlin
journal devoted to science. Thinking
that the paper would be of use to him
in the work in hand, he had it trans
lated. When the English version wcis
laid before him," together with quite a
bill for the translator's labor, what was
the disgust of the Kiler.tQ .iijicLalbat..
the article was nothing more or less
than a German reproduction of an ar
ticle of his own published the year be
fore in an English journal. And he
had paid twice as much for the trans
lation as he had received for the orig
inal article! Washington Star.
A Dream Superstition.
1 heard what was to me at least a
new piece of superstition the other day.
and when I think of the risks I've run
all these years because I didn't know
of it my blood runs cold. I met a wo
man from Virginia in market, and the'
talk falling on dreams I recalled a
most blood curdling nightmare I had
had the night before.
"I must tell you what I dreamed
last night," I said.
"Let me ask first whether it's a pleas
ant or aD unpleasant dream?" said the
lady from Virginia.
"Decidedly unpleasant."
"Then for mercy's sake don't tell it!"
said she. "Never tell a bad dream on
Saturday, for we say in Virginia:
"Friday night's dream on Saturday told
Is sure to come true, no matter how old."

DOWS
We expect to be in a position to Vive as good service and get our patrons as
much, if not more, mor ey for their tobacco than any other firm in this part of
the country, the coming season. Why do we claim to do this? Because we
have the best warehouse in Oxford, and the ORly warehouse firm in Oxford that
operatesa steam plant which prepares us to take care of tobacco in all condi
tions because we have as competent a force to look after your interest as any
in Oxford. Messrs. Ballard Norwood and A. G. Howell will see that your tobac
co is weighed correctly and bills made out correctly because we have sold our
old stock down, very close leaving ample room for the new crop because we ex
pect to have more orders and- buy more tobacco -ourselves than any warehouse
firm in Oxford, as we have done for the past three years because our Messrs.
Meadows & Adams prefer to buy their large. stock of tobacco on the warehocse
floor that they are interested in.
We believe if you will look into this matter fairly, you will find the above reas
ons gocd ones and you will see that'we are just a little better prepared to take
care of your interest than any firm on the Oxford market.
Now in addition to the above facts, ve have the same advantages of all the
well known and competent buyers on the Oxford Market who are now ready to
pay the highest market prices for your tobacco whether primings or stalk cured.
If you doubt any part of this statement, please give us a trial with your first
load and be convinced that we will do all we claim.
7 Thanking yjjsneind all for all past favors, promising you our.best efforts in
the future, we are, yours-for highest prices,

All children in Australia are drilled,
but the elder boys are attached to the

school has its band of cadets, who
wear neat khaki uniforms and are
armed with light rifies, in the use of

Every year those boys have shooting
