.The judge ’.had‘alway'eé looked upon Miss Staley as a machine, Every raorning she took his dictation for an houy and later -:she brought the letters to be signed.

She was feeding the oiiice cat That forlorn feline, as far back as the judge could remember, had been a thin-bodied reproach to the comwmwunity. There was a tradition - that she lived by catching rats. It such Hving was evidently :precariousa for she had always gone about lean am link, and somewhat plaintive. Op wiarm days she took her:airings In a restricted back court, -but in cold weather gha cfirled herself, apologetirzthj.‘, near a radiator in a corner of the hall, subject always to the moods of the janitor. - . “Today. however, things wore ahanged. There wasz a bottle of milk fJ'!n Miss Staley's desk and her spongs .(‘:p. had been converted into a feeding dish from which the cat ate rayvenously while the tittle lady watched her with a tander smile on lher lips and: a tired relaxing of her sl nder fignre which made her seem, for the first. tithe, to the judge's eves exquizitely feminine.

- Children’s Answers. Children’s answers to historical questions are sometimes illuminating. The 12-year-old boy who wrote “The conquest of Ireland began in 1170 and is still going on” was gvidently a precoclous political genius. And the girl who, when asked for a character of Queen Mary, replied: “She was willful as a girl and crued as a woman; but what can you expect from a person who had five stepmothers?” showed a logical mind. Sometimes they allow their patriotic. feelings unduly to Vias them. This was the case with ‘an American boy who, called upon to pame-the first man, answered: “Washington.” When reminced of Adam, he protested: “Oh, we don’t count_foreigners.”——London Chronicle.

I “As if that sufficed,” the Jjudge . soliloquized, when she had left him.. E“"»\'I;y what she needs is—lave—" i ' The suddenness of thé revelation brought him up with a jerk. "Oh, 'l(,u%i here,”” he admonished himself, I“_\'m: mns:n't_think oA[ such a thiug. ‘ynu know." : ) o But he did think of it, and the outcome was an invitation to Miss Staley to go with him that afternoon in his | car to hunt for the ortive cat. Under | stress of circumstances, Miss Sta- | ley conscrited. They did not find the | cat, but the judge found out where { Miss Staley lived. . 3 .. Durlng a }s(lcm‘.d‘ searchl, the judge discovered that Miss Staley's name was Margaret, and on thé ihird trip { he had the joy of buying her a bunch of violets. . i The fourth day Miss Staley de!clined to go with him. "I awr busy, and 1 am afraid it's .of no use to ilook further,” she said. The judge wasted the next day in meditation, and having coms:to a 1 decision, he went back late to his office to look over a case that was coming up the mnext day. Thus it happened that, at midnight, he heard in the hall an unmistakable “wew.” " He was out of his room like g ‘shot, to find before Miss Staley's closed portal a shivering, foot-sore creature who dragged herself to him over the stone floor. ‘ “Why, Pussykin, Pussykin,” he said, and petted her and carried her back to his ofiice, and made her. comfortable beside his radiator. . Then he telephoned to the cormer lunchroom for ‘a bottle of milk and a box of fried oysters, and they had thelr late supper together, happily. | 'The rapture of Miss Staley the next morning was his reward. But he was not content to let it end there. “We've got to plan it out,” he said, firmly, and shut the door of Miss staley's sanctum and sat down and faced her, while the regenerated Pussykin purred at their feet. “That cut can’t stay here—it isn't really businesslike, you kmow—" . %] know." Miss Staley's tone was deprecating. “But I live in a boarding house, and—" . “I don’t,” said the judge. “You mean,” her glance met his, “that you want her?” ; ‘4l want both of: you,” the judge clared, bluntly; “my ‘house is empty, and my heart is empty—Margaret.” : : . _ When they planned their wedding journey the judge suggested England in general, and Cheshire in particw | lar. 3 : “Because of the cheese?” was Miss Staley's demand. ' g “Because of the cats,” was the whimsical response.

this instance, the hall wallpaper had a white ground with green leaves and vellow flowers, and the rooms varied from plain - yellow and mode color through figured papers of all sorts, according to their uses, but yellow was always the dominant tone.”

FINDS RACING CLEAN SPORT

Former Minister of Justice in New " South Wales Talks of Conditions in Australia.

Prize fighting and horse racing are clean and manly sports if properly conducted, in the opinlon of Thomas M. Slattery, former minister of justice in New South Wales, and at one time a member of the Australian parliament.. Mr. Slattery spoke before the Irish Fellowship club at a luncheon while in Chicago the other day. “Horse racing is under the control of the government and nothing that daes not savor of true sportsmanship is tolerated. Any Irishman should own a horse or lhorses, it's born in him, and naturally should take pride in owning the best racers. I have g small string of horses - yself, and it is needless to say 1 enjoy the race course. “Boxing is a filne, manly sport, and being a bit of a sport myself, I enjoy watching a bout.”

In spite of former efforts to lessen the element -of danger by changing the rules, football has steadily become more hazardous to the players. The keenness .of colleze and high school rivalry and the spirit which is bringing business and industry up to its highest possible development are undoubtedly thé ecauses. The game which once ranked only one of a score of student'amusements. practically open to all, is ‘known no more. Now it is a specialty, says the Cleveland lLeader. Instructors are employed at good salaries.: The men capable of acquiring the greatest efficiency are sifted from among the students by a series of the most exacting tests.

The best thought of some of the brainiest young men in the country is given to the devising of new plays and new schemes of defense. With the increase of efficlency in the p]ay‘-[ ers the danger, very naturally, has increased. : |

Last season's record of fatalities‘i and Injuries made the college and‘ school authorities pause aghast. Some of them were in favor of prohibiting ! football then and there. But in the‘ main the sentiment was for the pres-': ervation of the game, and at once the | work of changing the rules to insure | safety was taken up again. : The new rules, It is claimed, make! mere size and weight or less importance than they were and open up’ possibilities for speedy and agile men | of lighter ‘build than were formerly ! accepted. If this proves to be the{ case the game will be -the gainer | The results in match games’ arez what wiil count in the test this fall. | The players should bear in mind that | too-rough tactics may put an end to! the sport, at least temporarily.

deaths and serious injuries this year. It-is to be hoped that they will exercise due caution, for football is toeo good a game to be in disrepute.

MILWAUKEE GETS BIG MEET

Championships of Central A. A. U. Wiil Be Decided in Cream City Some Time Next March.

Milwaukee will be the scene of the Central A. A. U. indoor track and field championships for 1911. This was the announcement made by President Dr. G. K. Herman in Chicago the other day following a conference with Walter Liginger of Milwaukee, former president of the central organization, who has had charge of all the big games for several years. Last year, which marked the return of the championships to Milwaukee after an absence of several winters, the date and announcement were withheld wuntil tho last - moment, and on this account a number of big schools such as the University of Wisconsin, Chicago and Michigan failed to send teams. The coming winter will find the A. A. U. officials making a special effort to get the big eight athletes back info the game as in former years. Herman has issued a call for a board meeting, at which the decision to award the meet to Milwaukee will be ratified and a regular date set. It is probable that the affair will be run on either the first or second Saturday of next March at the Auditorium in Milwaukee. ‘ Dropping Distances. : After reading all the expert descriptions of how it feels to fall six or seven thousand feet we have concluded it feels just the same as falling 8,962 ‘ ’

He never got back on the job, for T worked my head off and hit so well they kept me and I bounced from there into faster company and two vears later into the National league. I think much of my success was due to the fact that when 1 was starting at the business T was lucky enough to get in with a bunch of fellows who knew the game, some older and some youngeér than myself.

FAMOUS BALL PLAYER DEAD Col. M. Emmett urell, Leader of Game in Early '6os, Passes Away in Ireland—Wore Whiskers.

News was received in New York the other day of the death in Ireland of Col. M. Emmett Urell, a famous baseball player of the '6os. He was one of the leaders of the game in the old historic White Lot, Washington, D. C., when the Nationals of that city were regarded as one of the strongsst teams in the country.

Urell played second base on the old Union team of 1867, acting as captain. Later he Joined the Naticonals. He was afterward a member of the Olympics of Washington, of which Nick Young was the head. In these days Mike Urell, with his flowing whiskers focing Colonel Jones, the pitcher of the Nationals, who also wore a full beard, presented a picture that attracted attention.

It is, however., true that the land which many scholars believe was the home of .the Hebrews before they reached the plain of Shinar, and which at different times has been the seat of a great (ivilization, is now the darkest part of the earth. darker even than any portion of Africa. ‘ An immense country In size, Arabia is as large as all of the United States east of the Mississippi river, or larger than all of the countries .of Europe combined with the exception of Rusgia and Scandinavia. That countpy is almost without rivers and unti! recentlv was without railroads. - The only . ship which s ils over the great desert is the camel. A journey along the Red sea coast from Suez to Aden takes eight davs. from the Red sea to the Persian gnif 40 davs. or to follow about the coast line of the country as an Airasbh csometimes does, it is a journev of a whole vear Travelers have frequently penetrated the desert south of Palestine or crosced its northern part from Damascus to Bagdad, but there were hut two or three who succeed {n reaching the city of Mecca and the South Arahian city of Sana, which was the home of the queen of Sheba. No Chrictian has succeeded in traversing the land from the north to the south Cause of the Desert. The general impression of the Arablan desert is a’ vast sea of s=and. Quite to the contrary the surface of the greater part of it is almost as hard and as smooth as a floor. Along the western and southern coasts there are barren, rocky ranges raising their peaks to the height of 9000 feet, bhut most of the interior {s a level plain of great fertility. It is a desert just becausge of the lack of irrigation. After the hard rains of winter vegetation eprings forth, making the dry places look like flower gardens. Water may be found -in nearly everyv part of the decert by digging to a sufficient depth. Here and there ‘it comes to the surface, forming an oasis abont whieh a cluster of date palms grows. It is in the larger of these oasis that the desert encampments are usuallv fixed In central Arabia. where but two or three white men have ever . been, there are parts of the desert which are sandy. There the sand is of a reddish” or orange color and lies in belts many miles in width. Drifting Just like snow, it changes its position after every storm.

As a recompense to the desert (weller for the poverty of the parched plains and sandy wastes, nature has provided him with the strange mirage, which is visible inL nearly every part of the desert. Aany kinds of trees, lakes. men and figures appear upon the desert horizon, where the Arabs know that only desert can exist. Sometimes the mirage .sems so real that the Arabs who are accustomed to seeing it dzaily are deceived by it Hospitality to Travelers. ’

In the desert, especially among the tribal encampments, there are inns or lodging places provided for travelers. Along the lonely pilgrim routes leading to the sacred cities there are large khans to protect the traveler both from the heat of th: summer and the rains in winter, also from the roving bands of thieves. These are large open inclosures with alcoves arranged elong the inner sides of the walls to serve as lodging places. Aside from the alcoves, a low platform upon which the Arabian prays and the desert well, the inn offers few conveniences, for in Arabia every one carries with him his bed and cooking utensils. There is no charge for passing a night in the desert hotel The wandering Arabs of every en campment possess a great tent, where a stranger is alwavs welcome. It is called the mutif and is like all other tens evcepting ia size. The traveler on airiving makes his way to it. Stopping before the ‘ent he gives his horse to an attendaat, sticks his long spear into the ground at the tent entrance and leaving his sandals outgide he enters, salutes and squats down on the ground to wait until some of tha hittar Arab coffee is served to
