Boss MacGregor, Chilton, Wis., aged fourteen, wo are told by a Chicago pa per, has learned by rote every word In Webster's Unabridged Dictionary from A to E, Including the definitions, deri vations, spelling, pronunciation and synonyms. Boss entered school when but three years old and tit the age of six passed from the kindergarten to the sixth grade. Mathematics or studies requiring great mental effort are mas tered by him with astonishing ease, Snd selections of poetry , or prose be come fixed in his mind at a single read ing. : At the age of ten he memorized the whole of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," reciting It without a halt at the end of two hours' study. At a teachers' Institute In Chilton three years ago, when Ross was eleven, an Instructor read to the assembly a selec tion from Huxley and then unexpected ly asked if any one present could re peat any part of it from the single reading. Without faltering or making the slightest error Ross gave the selec tlon, much to the surprise of the In structor, who then tried him with n dozen or more extracts from different authors, with the same result, ; Such stories are hard to believe, but this one comes well credited. Ameri can Boy. A Good Old Game of Cat. Middle aged men can remember that when they were boys in the days be fore baseball became so popular in fact, when that game was almost un knownthey used to play - '"one hole cat," a gamo from which some say baseball was originally derived. There is an old 'Scottish game of much the same name as the popular game of the fifties, but which Is con Slderably different in the way it Is played. The game is called "cat In the bole," and, old as It Is, It is capable of affording good sport yet. - In playing . this game sis shallow holes are dug rather nearer together than the bases In baseball and ar ranged so as to form a diamond. In the center stands a boy with a ball In his hand. -7 . iv-f At each hole Is a boy with a stick, one end of which he rests in the hole he is guarding. When the boy with the ball sings out, "Cat In the hole," nil tho other boys change holes. As they do so tho boy with the ball tries to throw It Into one of the holes before any boy gets his stick Into It If he succeeds the boy who Is slow tn changing and finds the ball In the hole before Us stick is out He then has to take the ball himself. , A Oaeev Wat of Telllnst Time.

We were on oar way from northern Oermany to Parts, my wife and L We decided to stop at the next town. seek bettor conveniences for repose than our railway coach afforded and again pursue our Journey in the morn ing. Somewhat to my surprise, the guide book mentioned oar out of the way town and named tta dosen of hotels and pensions. One of the latter we chose. Here we were beamingly received by the proprietor of the pension, much in deed as if we were lone looked for guests. I Madame wore an old black silk dress which still bore the stamp of its Pari' slan origin. She carried a bunch of keys which she Jingled as she talked. Tea, madams had rooms, two oi them. There was a large one, with a smaller one adjoining. She would show them to us. Very modest appearing apartments they were that we were ahown Into, yet upon the subject of their faded paper- lngs and unstable upholstery madams was eloquent I managed to understand the drift of her discourse, ma dame's expresslre ges- tures explaining much of ner fluent French, but - what was this about blond hair, the light of the moon and the perfume of flowers 7" What could madame mean? But that lady was now bowing herself away be. fore ber admiring audience, end S small boy bearing oar baggage entered and left It on the floor. I looked at my wire, "Evidently they mean us to have these rooms," I said. My wife did not answer. Suddenly she began: " 'Long ago a beautiful maiden occu pied this chamber, and here her lover was In the bablt of visiting her, bring ing with him bouquets of heliotrope, the maiden's favorite flower. One day as she rested upon a couch awaiting his arrival her lover stole in and pre sented her with a bouquet. As the maid en bent her head to Inhale the fra grance her false lover thrust a dagger In her neck and fled, pulling down her long hair over the wound. The room Is said to be still the scene of the maiden's visitation.' " In the course of our travels I had be come used to my wife's random read ings from the guidebook. "This room!" she explained with en thusiasm. The romantic tale in connection with our chamber must have excited my wife's Imagination, for she sat upon the little lounge and gazed out on the gath ering dusk until the moonlight began to cast faint shadows upon the lawn below. . "How .delightful It would be to meet a ghost I" mused my wife. I did not want to seem unsympathet ic, so I stifled a yawn and with all the Interest I could summon responded: "Yes." "If you should display such anima tion on meeting one I'm sure the ghost would cut you immediately after the introauctlon." ' I was soon asleep. . In the night I awoke and found my room flooded with moonlight . A ray from the moon had probably fallen up on my face and awakened me; that or something else. I turned uneasily in my bed. My mind seemed possessed with a strange idea. Some one was In the room. - I was conscious of a subtle fragrance permeating the air. It waa the odor of heliotrope. I recalled the story of the guidebook, aud I Instinctively turned my eyes to the couch by the window. A woman lay resting on the couch, the moonlight falling upon her white dress and on her long, light hair that hung on tho floor. I bad Just nerved myself to rise when I sunk back again on my bed, for there was a movement upon the couch. The figure stood for a moment, as If tn hesitancy, and then softly and rapidly moved toward my wife's room. I Bprang up, though without a thought as to my proceedings. , ' I kept, my eyes upon the phantom aU the' time. It had now reached my wife's bed. .' . '. . ; But my wife did not lie there. '' The idea that bad so feebly chained my thought now; seized me with con viction. My eyes at once traveled from the empty pillow to the figure beside the bed none other than my wife I The truth flashed upon me my wife was asleep. Leaving her quietly, I went back to my bed. The next morning I stood by the lit tle couch, the sun's rays mercilessly rpoelng every rip and threadbare spot My wife came In, and I told her the story, ; .- . . ,, v "I am certain, though," said I when t had done, "that I distinctly smelled heliotrope in the room."

"Of all -the funny guests In a sum mer hotel none Is more ridiculous than the woman who has left all her best clothes at home," remarked the thoughtful girl to her best friend. "Why Bhe should make it a point to leave behind her all her swell gowns and pack only her ordinary ones Is nev er quite clear. She never can explain It satisfactorily. In fact, she says, 'I don't know what I was thinking of not to bring the best part of my wardrobe.' The rest of the guests at the table wink Blyly at one another and encourage the poor woman to talk about the finery she has left behind ber. 'Yes, indeed,' Bbe says; 'I had the sweetest little shirt waist for morning wear that I meant to put la. My dressmaker made It Just be fore I came away, and It's so provoking of me to forget It' "In the evening she appears In a pret ty dimity gown and at once says apolo getically: 'Dear me, I simply had to put on this rag of a gown because I neg lected to pack my silk mull. It's a beauty, too, haud embroidered and very becoming, they tell me.' "The number of things that this wo man has left at borne is wonderful. If she had brought them all six trunks would have been filled to the brim. There are shirt waist suits, myriads of elegant hose, walking suits, bathing suits, rain coats, muslins, organdies, brllllantines, white flannel suits, auto mobile gowns, chiffon hats, alpine bats and flower hats. Then there are feather boas, ail kinds of gloves, slippers and enough jewelry to start a jewelry shop. To hear her talk one would imagine that she was a multimillionaire. "She always makes these remarks about ber left behind toilet In a lofty way, as If It were the height of bad taste for any one to have nice gowns at this particular hotel. She Says: 'I wish I had brought my nice things, but there is hardly the opportunity to wear such things here. I like to see a wom an dressed appropriately, don't you know.' "Yes, my dear, I am talking from experience, for one of these creatures is staying at this very hotel, and half the time she amuses me and half the time she irritates me. I wish you'd brought down your swell gowns Just to show her a thing or two." New York limes. Absent Minded Lord Derby.
