KNEW HOW COOK GOT BURNED
But Doubtless Papa Wished Little
Willie Had Waited Before Im-
parting the Information.
There was company at dinner, and
the platter in front of the host con-
tained a fine roast of beef. He drew
the ^harp carving knife across the
ringing; steel a few times, just because
that is a way carvers have, drove the
fork deep into the steaming beef, de-
scribed a scalping knife flourish in the
air and gracefully began operations.
Two nice and tender slices clear
across the roast had resulted, and he
was turning off the third when the
blade (Struck a skewer, made a sliding
upward motion and came out at the
top, with the result that the proposed
slice looked like a frostbitten leaf
curled; up by the sun.
He could not say intense things in
the presence of his guests, but he
froze his wife with a look, made a
grim joke about the indigestibility of
roasted hard wood, inquired whether
the butcher also ran a woodyard, dug
the skewer out viciously and ordered
little Willie, who had made several at-
temps jto tell something, to keep still
or leave the table. His evident temper
led to : an embarrassing silence, and
Willie saw an opening that he could
not resist.
“Cook has burned her nose orful,”
he annbunced.
Too bad,” said the father, whose
good humor was coming back. “How
did she do it?”
Trying to pull them skewers out
with her teeth.”

Before the Doctor Comes.-,
If any | one of the family is so un-
fortunate as to sprain his or her ankle
this sumper you will find that you
can make the doctor’s part easier by
soaking, the afflicted member at once
in very hot water. This relieves the
congestion; and by> the time the doc-
tor arrives with the bandages the
sprain Will be ready for treatment.
It is better not to wait a moment to
find out how serious the injury is, for
hot water can do no harm and the pa-
tient’s suffering will be greatly les-
sened by prompt action.
Harry P. Hutchins, dean of the law department
of the University or Michigan, will succeed Dr.
James B. Angell as head of the institution the
coming year. The board of regents has appoint-
ed him acting president. This is taken to mean
that the regents will not select a permanent suc-
cessor to Dr. Angell, who was recently elected
president-emeritus after serving as head of the
university for 38 years, until next spring.
Dean Hutchins has served in the same capacity
before. It was in the year 1897-1898, during the
absence of Dr. Angell as United States minister
to Turkey. Dean Hutchins is recognized through-
out the United States as an able lawyer and a
brilliant educator. Under the appointment of
the supreme court of Michigan, he revised and
annotated several volumes of the supreme court
reports. He has published an American edition of Williams on Real Prop-
erty, revised, annotated and adapted to American jurisdictions.
The new acting president was born at Lisbon, N. H., April 8, 1847. His
preparation for college was received at the New Hampshire Conference
seminary at Tilton and at the Vermont Conference seminary at Newbury.
When he was 19 he entered Wesleyan university, Middletown, and later took
some special studies in astronomy, physiology and surgery at the University
of Vermont and at Dartmouth college.
In 1867 the family moved to Michigan, and in the fall 6f that year Mr.
Hutchins entered the University of Michigan and was graduated a bachelor
of philosophy in 1871. As an undergraduate he stood in the front rank of
his class, and at graduation time he was chosen for commencement speaker.
For the year after graduation he was in charge of the public schools at
Owosso, Mich., and in the following fall he returned to his alma mater as
instructor in history and rhetoric, and in another year was advanced to an
assistant professorship.
In 1884 Dean Hutchins was recalled to the University of Michigan, this
time to become junior professor of law. Later he accepted an appointment
by the trustees of Cornell university to organize a law department for that
institution. In his eight years at Ithaca he made the Cornell law school one
of the leading law schools in the country. In 1895 he was again called to
Michigan, this time as the dean of the law department.

New York.—Sailing through the air
enveloped in an impenetrable fog so
dense that he completely lost his
bearings, Frank W. Goodale, the To-

the Jersey meadows the other after-
noon and almost drowned in a marshy
spot hear Kingsland, where he and
his machine landed.
Discarding his clothing and dis-
mantling his machine, that progress
might be easier, Goodale, though abso-
lutely ignorant of his whereabouts,
did heroic work for three hours and

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, who has been appoint-
ed superintendent of the Chicago public schools
by the board of education of that city, takes her
place among the highest salaried women in the
United States. Those of her sex who have gone
beyond the $10,000 emolument of her new posi-
tion have been few and far between.
About the biggest sum paid a woman on record
was that the insurance investigations revealed
had been paid to Gage Tarbell’s secretary, who
was credited \fath receiving $12,000. H. H.
Rogers’ secretary, has been credited with a $10,-
000 salary. : "
Heretofore the record among Chicago women
has been held by Mrs. Jacob Baur, formerly Miss
Bertha Duppler,: who until her marriage last fall
was for several years private secretary to Chi-
cago’s postmaster. Miss’ Duppler received a salary of $2,400.
Mrs. Young is 64 years old, having been' born January 15, 1845, at Buf-
falo, N. Y. Her parents went to Chicago when she was a child and she ob-
tained all of her education there, being graduated from the high school and
later from the Chicago Normal school, of which she has been principal.
She studied also at the University of Chicago, which gave her the degree
of doctor of philosophy. She was married in Chicago in 1868 to William
Young, who died some years ago, but continued her work of teaching which
she had begun in the Chicago schools in 1862, when she was 17 years old.
She was made district superintendent of schools there in 1887 and con-
tinued as such until 1899. Then she was made professor of education of the
University of Chicago, which position she held until she was /Chosen head of
the Chicago Normal school in September, 1905.
RAISES GIFT TO MILLION
Ban, Put, cm Whistling.
Worcester, Mass., has under' con-
sideration’ an ordinance against whis-
tling. One of thel features of it is
that if a man thinks he can’t get alorig
without making alleged music he can
indulge himself by taking out a lic-
ense. The Boston Jouranl, jeering at
the proposed enactment, says that a
tax for sidewalk conversation will be
the next on. the list. It also suggests
a fine for all persons who do not wear
rubber heels.
African and Indian Elephants.
Africa produces the world’s supply
of ivory. Its elephants are; mam-
moths, different in shape from India’s
tuskless behemoth, and with ances-
tors which are found and preserved
in Arctic ice, pre-historically true to
to-day’s African type. The Indian ah
imal has never been quite the same
structurally, has never grown tusks
worthy of the name, and is a plain
beast of burden, more valuable alive
than dead.
John D. Archbold, the vice-president of the
Standard Oil Company, a few days ago lifted a
mortgage of $300,000 on Syracuse university,
making the total of his gifts to that lucky institu-
tion a round million of dollars. The greatest gift
is by all odds the magnificent gymnasium build-
ing, which was first used by the students last
winter and spring, but which is now receiving
finishing touches '.which will make it the most
complete institution of its kind in the world and
the; envy of all other schools. Mr. Archbold is a
great exponent of; the doctrine of sound bodies
as receptacles foil sound minds and has spared
no expense to make the Syracuse gym. the finest
in existence. '
The dimension^ of the building are 156x216
' feet- It contains j swimming and rowing rooms
each with tanks of ample size. There is also; a baseball cage, rooms for all
the teams, rooms for the coaches and instructors, rooms for the trophies a

the gym. proper measures 100x205 feet The' roof is a glass dome and the

propel his flying machine several
miles over marshlands and streams,
until he eventually reached Kings-
land, where he collapsed and was at-
tended by a physician. ..:
Goodale has been exhibiting at an
amusement park for several weeks,
and his engagement ended there on
the day of his adventure.' He was
told to hppear the next day at Hill-
side park, near Belleville, on the out-
skirts of Newark. Goodale deter-
mined t» fly the eight miles between
the two parks. He got away from the
amusement' park about 4:30 o’clock.
After five minutes of flight Goodale
ran into a dense fog, and in the
gloom lost his way. He directed his
machine close to the earth, and found
himself near Homestead, N. J., where
he inquired of several men the direc-
tion of Newark. They shouted to him
that he was headed in the right di-
rection. He encountered dense gloom
again and rightly determined that he
was passing oyer the Jersey meadows.
The fog and dampness deflated the
gas of Goodale’s machine, and it be-
gan to sink. Then, without warning,
the engine stopped and Goodale and
his airship descended violently on the
marsh land.
Goodale said afterwards that he
sank in the mud and water up ts his
waist, and only by the exercise of all
his strength was he able to save him-
self from drowning. He drew him-
self up on the airship, cast off his leg-
gings, shoes and clothing until he was
all but disrobed.
Companion of Irritated Divines Came
to the Front with Order to
the Waiter.
Joaquin Miller is to establish a
colony of poets in Fruitvale, Cal. Mr.
Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:
“We poets will, of course, argue
and squabble. That will be delight-
ful. Arguments and squabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-
son, and Keats are pleasant and sen-
sible things, you know. They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al-
ways make me think of three Maine
divines.
“While three Maine divines were
supping together, two of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
“ ‘William III. was a great rascal,’
roared the first, as he struck the table
with his fist. ‘A great rascal, and I
spit upon his memory!’
“The second divine turning very
red, shouted:
“ ‘N6, it’s James II. that was the
rascal. I spit upon his memory!’
“At this point the third divine rang
the bell, and said gently to the waiter,:
“ ‘Spittoons for two, please.’ ”
THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS
The Artless Boy.
The boy bowed politely to the gro-
cer.
“I understand,” he said, “that you
want a boy, sir. Will you kindly look
me over.”
“I only pay $3,” said the grocer, ab-
ruptly.
“I understood,” said the boy, “that
you paid four.”
The grocer nodded.
“I did pay four,” he said, “until I
saw in the paper the other day that
Millionaire Rogers began his business
career on $3 a week.”
The boy smiled.
“But I don’t expect to be a million-
aire,” he said. “I don’t care to be
rich—I’d much rather be good.”
The grocer was so much pleased
with this artless reply that he com-
promised with the boy for three and
a half.
Unselfishness in Life Is the OneThingj
That Will Transform All
Things to Gold.
The moment we set about the task
of making every human being we
come in contact with better for know-
ing us—more cheerful, more courage-
ous, and with greater faith in the
kindness of God and man—that mo-
ment we begin to attain the third pur-
pose of life—personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
of the alchemist which transforms all
things to gold?
It is unselfishness—or, to use a bet-
ter word, selflessness.
He who goes forth bent upon being
always kind, always helpful, in the lit-
tle daily events of life, will fihd all
skies tinted with gold, all his nights
set with stars, and unexpected flowers
of pleasure springing up in his path-
way.
And all his tears shall turn into
smiles.—Brooklyn Eagle.

WHALE SWIMS OFF WITH BOAT
Newly-Married Couple Are Rescue^
After Exciting Chase of Twen-
ty Miles.
Seattle, Wash.—Mrs. and Mrs.
John Greenleaf, who has been spend-
ing their honeymoon living in a house-
boat, were given a fast ride of 20
miles behind a young fin-back whale
near Port Angeles.
The houseboat was erected on a
float made of eight logs, each 80 feet
long and fully a foot thick. The boat
was securely anchored in a little cove
by two heavy cables. To prevent its
breaking away in case of storm,
chains were hung from the logs to an-
chors buried in the sandy beach.
It is believed the whale was playing
at night in the cove and, coming
up under the float, became tangled in
the loose anchor chains. Unable to
free himself, the big fish set the heavy
flo.at careening until the cables parted.
A little after sunrise fishermen saw
the float and the houseboat swaying
as if it were by an earthquake. Then
the raft and all started for the ocean.
The fishermen were unaware the boat
was occupied until they saw the
fi ightened groom and his bride cling-
ing desperately to the sides of the
house. They cried out for help and
the fishermen headed their launch to-
ward the rapidly disapeparing float
and followed at full speed.
About twenty miles out in the strait
of Juan de Fuca the float came to a
standstill. The fishermen soon came
up and rescued Greenleaf and his
wife.
The whale, barely thirty feet long,
had become pinched between two logs
and was dead.

“Do you think your sister will mar-
ry me?” .
“If you keep cornin’.”
“Have you heard her say anything

“I heard her tell ma that if you

make things unpleasant for you.”
Never Satisfied.
Her—Oh, oh! Something’s crawl-
ing down my back!

A Realist.
“I am a great believer in realism,”’
remarked the poet.
“Yes?’ we queried with a rising in-
flection, thereby giving him the desired
opening.
“I sometimes carry my ideas of
realism to a ridiculous extreme,’! con-
tinued the poet.
“Indeed!’ we exclaimed . inanely,
somewhat impatient to reach the point
of his witticism.
“Yes,” continued the poet, “the .other
day I wrote a sonnet to the gas com-
pany and purposely made the meter
defective.” . i ■

thus obtained my present lofty posi-
tion.”
