The Appeal

The Worm That Turned. VOL.17.NO.42. The Broadway lived in a comfortable all square house, of Georgian red brick, about a mile behind the cavity drowsed town of Centerham. The Broadway girls (Gwendelon, Lucy, Janet and The Worm who had been christened Alexandra), unwieldon was twenty-four, and dreamy of Coriell romances at the head of her bed and belonged to a club of spiritual clerimony members, and twenty unmarried feminine ones. But as new subscribers were constantly dropping in, and old ones were being wedded to wedding souls they the club was subject to upholstery. Lucy, the second Broadway girl, was the most attractive disciple and a croughest maniac of the new "Eww'body must win wow'wands for Janet," said the sixteen-year-old youngest Broadway, to whose personality had been a bit more direct way, the hideous nickname under which she figures in this story. It was at the fag end of a long and dazzling dance, the consequence of Janet's commands, "If you want what she wants, she thwreathes to break a blood vessel. She never does break one" (The Worm's "rs" were conspicuous). "If you want to be made a murderess—and so you do it. But one of these days I shall shuffle, and then" —The Worm was pregnant with meaning. The Worm. I have said, and been christened Alexandra, which perhaps implies that she is the name for home consumption. She was a tall, slim creature, with a Sheiland gony's forcock, and a tossing man of eyes, a tilted nose and an orange blue eyelens grow longer every day, her eyes grew larger every day, and she embarked on the efforts of Simmons the sewing maid, who consumed her existence in letting down tucks and applying supplementary hems. The Worm's education commenced; when it was now supposed to be complete, Only the German professor and the author of whom the Worm wimbled instruction in the French and Italian languages resembled, "And then she must come out!" said Mrs. Broadley, looking appealingly upon her family, "I cried Gwendolen. "Oh, mother!" cried Gwendolen. "Oh, mother!" excclaimed Jane, closing the finished second volume of the book out of Mrs. Broadley's unrestling hand. "My loves, my pet, it must be done," the loving mother, "The child grows up and becomes a direct scorn for companions of her own age, and spends her time in pursuits which cannot but render her unfeminine and less attractive to her father is delighted with her tandem driving, and the way in which she lands on the road is less pleasant than less pleased that she has been given with some theories about the sanitary housing of the working classes, picked up on illustrated pages, because the owner's drains. When Escott could produce a member of the family who is getting out of it. Of course, it is the effervence of an expanding nature, and, therefore, if the child is to develop into a successful adult, he cannot have an original uncomfortable daughter on my hands, with spectacles and cropped hair, pernaps, and sporting calf socks. In the days before, "Therefore the World is far from the companions on social campaigns," said Gwendolen, resignedly. "And make it live in the brougham, may add, where there are evening classes." "I wonder how father will like having a daughter," she said and shook four party-goers' hands. "I going daughters?" was wan and saintly, and Mrs. Broaden met it with foreboding. "As it is we are all men," she said, her tenants are clamoring for lower-rents it makes me feel quite ill to think "My own!" exclaimed her startled mother. "You must not broach upon these things." "One cannot always remember one's self, said Jude, teaching for another's benefit, and I never think times think of others. And it would have been better for father, you know it is better for mother, you know it is better for born. They could have volunteered for South Africa and got commissions, and Victoria crosses and things, and relieved their family of the burden of daughters were sent!" she added plausely. "Well, it is settled, I suppose," said Gwendolen, unanimably. "The Worm comes out, the Worm must make her debut in society," rejoined Alexandra's mother, with some show of firmness, and as a result, the Worm must den the use of that hideous nickname. I cannot think how it ever came into my记忆. It was when she was twelve—a long, backboneless, twining thing," said Jane, "and Reggie Stanky, a midsummer holidays with us. He christened her The Worm—and it has stuck." In life in a lifeoparded by a schoolboy's vulgarity, said the gentle Mrs. Brouside, and "If when he again visits here, he endeavor to revive the Worm, I shall expect you to check him." "Master Reggy is with the Orange Hussara in South Africa," said Gwen Leonard. "He is dressed in pert little face with the arm bushy tail. 'Why should he occur to you as a likely visitor?'" "He has been drafted home with some friends. He is quartered at the depot. Your rather intends driving over to Canterham bar." "You really permit yourself too much annoying boy, Sir Reginald," he was an annoying boy, Sir Reginald is now—"Sir Reginald?" "Sir Reginald?" "Three voices exclaimed in varying keys, the circular gase of astonishment, the circular gase of astonishment, how were you likely to? His uncle is dead, the baronetry and a good deal of property in Standish. He got the step in South Africa, and he is to have the distinguished man under fire without sufficient men to a catch. Their motives are not mine, thank heaven!" said Mrs. Broderick, gathering up her key basket and mechanic's apperiod by Janet. "All I can say is, that as a mother young man, and one who has served me, a distinction at twenty-four, the boy was sent to him this impression. It is your father's wish. There! He has just come Mrs. Broadley, rushed to the library threshold, the door opened before her, and she entered daring in a torn alpae frock, her cheeky brow, almaenian hair, cascading wild over her shoulders and hunging over her eyes, stood before her. Her brimmed straw hat, in which squirmed two blind kittens, her right hand, held the maternal propetor of the kittens, the maternal propetor of the kittens, "What is it, mother?" she asked, noting signs of perturbation in her parent. "Your sisters, dearies," said the mother, unidentify youngest, "have something to tell you." The door closed upon Mrs. Broadley's rudling silks. The Worm putting the hat with its contents carefully down, she joined her family, sat down upon the "Wolf." She surveyed her elders with a cool impartiality of disapproval. "You have you got to tell me. What have you got to tell me?" She for information. "Worm," said Gwendolen, "the powers become a bitterly." She decided that you are to become a butterfly. The Worm, and the Worm is an invertebrate animal and not an insect. In spite of my having been educated by a girl herself, I know as much that. What "What is up," said Lloyd, "is that you wear a dress that is so slick that the range of selection we offer to the elephant *bachelor* is sufficiently large to allow you to wear her window stock (I believe that is the trade term), in the vain hope of minima." In other words, we are to be reconstruered, and we are to turn up your hair, wear a dress that is so slick, and paddeck, desert the stables, cease to gadmother tall attics, dormice and white gaudies, take better care of your nails, gaudies, take better care of your nails. The three elders laughed unrestrained. The young creature addressed did not "Could we not get the rector to rechristen her?" asked Gwendolen, in an interruption, of the Worm, "things really describe and appropriate, since she is to be the Worm no more!" really want to or even Jane would really want to with the child," said Lucy, critically, but Alexandra™ the name seems like "I shall not dream for an instant of Worm," she replied. Worm, will you?" ordered Janet, who had dropped her novel. The younger sister "When you address me in a power way," she remarked, "I will do your owings, and not before." She stood to stoop and get it for myself," said Janet, "when I have such a queer sensation in my chest, as you do, I call it unstimply." THE APPEAL. EXPLOITS of A YOUNG TEXAN GIANTESS.

"I wrenmember him," said the Worm, "shutting the carcass and putting it on the bed when I was a little girl, and gwumbled, ioo, because there were no boys to play with.

Miss Carman's home to visit her sisters, and to Carman's home to visit her sisters, and to Carman's home along the road the young man again referred to the gun. He told Miss Shore that he had left a few cartridges in the chamber, in the hopes of getting a shot in the gun. He told Miss Shore in an old field that they had to pass. "In that event, said the young girl, 'If you will hold the mustangs I will kill the deer.'" That is just where the trouble comes in. 'Replied Carman. 'The horses are not getting along.'

"Well, if you can hold them," replied the girl, "I will kill the deer," and *zz* if show that she was in carcass, she picked up the ride and laid it across her lap.

The spirited horses bounded in the a.r. with snorts of terror they ran at the top of the hill, about between the wire fence, as if it had been a toy.

This occurred near a great waterfall and the current swept towards the cataract with such terrific force that several fishmen who witnessed the rescue declared they would not have ventured into such dangerous food for a deed to Texas. The girl's parents say that she was always different from other children. From a child she possessed extraordinary courage, and in all her life she has never shown the least fear in the presence of man, beast, or danger. Upon seeing her father she descended into a well more than one hundred feet, clinging to a rope and letting herself down with her hands, for the purpose of saving the life of a child. The child's parents and several grown men were standing about the well, and she was watching when Miss Salle appeared on the scene and ordered the hapless creatures to hold the windwinds. Descending hand over hand down the rope until she reached the water, she seized the drowning child and held her hand down the rope lowered into the well. After sealing the rope hand in the arms of its mother, the brave girl returned to the surface as she had descended. Only a few weeks ago she saved her father from being trampled to death by a mad bull. Healing the old gentleman for assistance. Miss Shire ran out to the cattle ranch time to see a famous old bull tossing her father into the air with his horns. The brave girl ran straight to the dangerous animal and caught him by the neck and was lying on his back under the bulls forefoot. "I believe," says Miss Shore, "that I could have broken that bull's neck. I was mad enough to have killed him." The girl was shaken by the bellower for mercy, and she held him in her father could put a rope on his horns and lash him to a post. The young girls friends and neighbors never tire of telling stories of her prowess. The other herself is modest, and it is not about her phenomenal strength and her many brave acts.

At Lincoln, Neb. lives H. Masterman, aged eighty-eight. He is one of the few, possibly the very last, survivor of the war in 1850, soon after his death, to honor at the marriage of the late Queen Victoria. As a British soldier he reached war in 1850, soon after his death, to the United States. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted in the Union army in the same company with his son and sister. His mature judgment and unerring marksmanship brought him under the supervision of the officer, who asked him to volunteer for the account of the extreme danger attendant upon this class of work. men were called to the army, and were called for. Masterman promptly offered his services and became a Union sharpshooter. The nature of the case makes it necessary that a sharpshooter be under less physical restraint than probably any other man in the army, with the exception of the soldier whose life is in constant danger, and his preservation depends entirely upon his own discretion. This is by no means oceans of danger, from among the enemy, but more in ducks with sharpshooters on the other who are his equal in clumbling and still. It was while the war was raging along the boundary of Tennessee that the wing of the enemy, man-belonged was sorely beaten by the sharpshooters. Most of these Confederates were killed by the Union Soldiers. There was some casualty in mode of operation or sound which distinguished one from the other. The glimpses of them were caught, so that soldiers had a good idea of what there dangerous men were like. One of the was dubbed "Suredeath," a good reason for giving him the name. He was federated sharppoisoners. At any hour of the day the clear crack of his rife might have been the victim, for there was always one, either killed or mortally injured who the victim was, for there was always a bird his fatal shots at none but officers, between whiles a common "doughboy" between whiles a common "doughboy" than a good opinion the Yankees sent him light an opinion the ability of what an important man's ability that when an important loss was the loss was formidably merged to "Suredeath." One evening the colonel sent an order to the company quarters with instructors to musterman to report at once on his text. "To th'ism from your little girl, Johnny" Again a and. The Union man, with his stained covering. A curl of brown hair fell to the ground. The dying father died and died before Masterman could raise the canteen to his lips. Masterman had backed Johnston into Atlanta, defeated him, and was in control of the camp. Apparently, granary and a assailant of the 'Confidence' the march to the sed was on. A small division of the great army that took few days in one spot. Masterman was not a few men, shaperoots were not so much men, shaperoots memorable trip of fifty miles in latitude, memorable trip of fifty miles in latitude, beloved of special duty. The name of his village near by reminded him of a blood-borne haversack. Inspecting it, he found he had been a mailposter from which it had been mailled. White persons joined the Union army, and from them Masterson learned that a named Brower was living on a farm close and black to take a message to him. $2.40 PER YEAR. **ooters' Duel.** The next day an one man, a rosson mourn- ing his friend, came to camp and asked for Segeant Masterman. "Foot- ter was easily found." Masterman dis- cerned the Confederate sharpshooter, who under the excipients of war, had died at his hands. He said he was the deface of the child's death, but told the gray-haired children to move and gave him the letter he had sent. "And the little girl!" asked the se- gencer, the boy and called awhile, "Is he alive and well?" "Yes, well in body," answered the man, "but many an hour he went out and answered the letters. It been a long time, sir since we know what happened to him. They wrote to me, and we knew he wasn't deserted, and we hoped he wasn't killed. If he'd been taken a prisoner, you know, he might get back to us some-" "Had, the family?" answered the servant "Only his wife and baby. The wife had died since he went and the little gals had been deserted. Every day she wants to know if he a13-comin' home, and when you all come along she made me happy. It was her dad's regular day, in case the army did not move on. No change in location was made, and it was deserted for the day. He was sergeant of the guard. His duties kept him at the outposts.

She walked slowly, and he firm grip upon her grandfather's hand." The serviceman halted them, passed them, then asked them to guard the guard tent. He found a seat for the man and talked with them about his grandfather, who had a knee knee with curtains behind the tent onboarding at the parking off duty and the quiet camp scenes. She looked into his eyes and looked at the looking man who sat before them. Then her eyes resued upon a rifle leaning on the wall. The weapon unsecured. It was the same weapon that had killed her father. It seemed to fascinate him, but he made no attempt to make an inquiry, but blast-man, an assistant, and later, when he stepped, she asked: "Mister, how did yore gun git broke?" He asked: "How did you not tell her was her own father's bullet had broken the hols in the stock, and the serviceman pretended not to hear. Her insult him. He arose as a lust to the old man that the interview must close. He took the serviceman and disapproved voice the girl said: "As he told me good-boy, the sunbonnet was pushed back down the brown curly hair, and I disapproved voice the girl said: "As he told me how you gur gun got broke." The pleading voice of the little Southern man in the cave told the old man cipherly: If he should tell you the story, he would have those words. -St. Joseph Globe Democrat.

A large number of men and boys have been seriously injured while playing football, on the "gridiron," as they call it, and not a few have met death directly or indirectly in consequence of the game. The most peculiar death we have heard of, however, occurred in Philadelphia Wednes day night when David Wark, aged 20 years, was electrocuted in Fairmount Park. Wark was playing on one of two scrub teams and the ball was punter into the air and lodged in a large globe of an electric light. The arm on which the lamp was hung was lowered and when it came within reach Wark grasped the ball and fell dead. The spheroid had become wet from the grass and thus formed a conductor of the power of the electric current. Of course this was a pure unforeseen accident, but many of the other accidents and deaths are brought about by a total disregard for limbs and lives that ought to be stopped. In the days when we played football a few barked shins were about the sum total of the casualties of the most hotly contested games.

Winter, who were sentenced April 18, 1901, at Nashville, Tenn., each to serve a year and ten days in prison for a pension fraud, and pardoned upon recommendation of the district attorney who prosecuted them, so that their sentence will expire on Nov. 1 of the present year.

"Claud Duval," "Sixteen String Jack" and all the old timers who were somewhat noted as horse stealers have had their records broken by "Jake" Dowling, who was captured in Chicago a few days since.

He had a pendant for blooded horses, too, and sold hundreds of his stolen horses to fashionable people. We had hoped that the Women's Federation in state convention in session this week at Owatonna, Minn., would prove to be fair enough to set a marker for the National Federation on the admission of Afro-American clubs, but we now very much fear we are doomed to disappointment. President Roosevelt has completed a portion of his first message, which he has read to his cabinet and 'tis said that, judging from that, the message promises to be one of the best-written and most business-like documents that ever emulated from the White House.

RUNAWAY HORSES. They May be Checked by Very Simple Devices. The since advent of automobiles and the spreading out of the trolley lines through country roads, not only in this country, but in Europe, the problem of preventing seared horses from running away has especially commended itself to inventors, and all sorts of devices have been evolved for the prevention of carriage accidents caused by skittish animals. In Paris the alarming increase in accidents—many of them fatal—caused by runners who scared by the "tent-feet" has included the experiment with devices for stopping runaways. One device with which they have been experimenting consists of an extra pair of blinders, mounted on the ordinary blinders and kept back by a spring. This spring is controlled by an extra rein, which passes between the cars of the horse and leads back to the hands of the coachman. If the horse becomes restive and shows an inclination to hold the driver quietly the rein and the horse leads back to the hands of the coachman. The most vicious cx nervous steed is supposed to be cowed at once when he finds himself in complete darkness. The experiments to make the use of this appliance compulsory in the French capital. An English invention is more complicated and cumbersome. It consists of a set of friction wheels hung beneath the body of the wagon in such a manner that by pushing a lever they tighten, brought down upon the other wheels and hung on the same time two reins leading from the horse's bolt to the axle of the friction wheels are wound up and pull the horse's head short back. In Stilian cities an appliance which is in general use, and has been for a long time, is an arrangement by which the wind of a horse is shut off when he attempts to run away. Nearly all the carriage horses in Palermo are stallions, and their drivers drive after the manner of lattes, nervously, exertely and as fast as possible be urged. Standing out from the nostrils of the stallions are little leather disks, which the pulling of a little rein by the driver clamps down upon the animal's nose, thus shutting off his wind if he tries to run away. Bang! He Exploded, and There Was Great Consternation. Great Consternation. Snakes seem to be plenty in the neighborhood of Goshen, if the stories that are waffled from over that region are correct, says the Bridgeport Farmer. Dynamite is a sweetish sort of ACTIVE. stuff and snakes love sweet stuff. A big black snake about seven feet long, was in a man's garden near the forest and crawled under the hog pen just as the man picked up a rock and threw it at the reptile. The rock hit the snake, however, which, probably having swallowed one of the sticks of dynamite, exploded and blew himself into smithereens, demolishing also the entire corner of the hog pen, which gives silent testimony of the truth of the snake. The hog was scared half to death, but it was not otherwise hurt, as he was in the front of the man, who owned the hog and the stick of dynamite was also badly scared, but was not hurt. The man's name is Igney Androsky, a Pole or Prussian, who vouches for the story, but says in extenuation of the act of blowing up a snake by striking him with a stone that he "didn't know dot snake was loaded." The Polander states that he bought a few sticks of dynamite to blow up some stumps that were in his garden. Sell Butterflies for a Living: Collectors of butterflies in America will be interested to know that there are persons in Europe who are now making an excellent living by selling butterflies. This is a new industry. Please know it is and especially adapted for work with butterflies, which mainly consists in spreading with a cannel's hair brush very thin gum or paste over the wings of ordinary butterflies and then sprinkling over this certain delicate metallic powders of various colors. By this deft manipulation a very common butterfly can in one that is extremely transformed into one that is extremely rare. Recently one of these "fakeres" high price an alleged specimen of a red damal, which is a superb damal and widely noted for its brilliant red and white hues. Sometimes the white specks turn blue and a specimen in which this transformation has taken place is regarded as a great rarity. The "faker" knew this, and naturally his ad hoc had many blue specks. Unfortunately he had many blue specks the purchaser was suspicious, and by the use of a magnifying glass and a damp brush quickly discovered the fraud. As a result European collectors are now resolved not to purchase butterflies except from those dealers whom they know to be thoroughly reliable. When Grace Was Said. A Barnard College girl tells in the New York Times of visiting in a household where grace was said at the table—semi-occasionally. Her curiosity led the mistress of her, and she asked them why they didn't observe the rite regularly. "Why," the lady said with some surprise, "we say grace only when we have reason to be thankful. We never dream of giving thanks when we have only roast beef or beefsteak, or some simple thing like that. But whenever we have something really nice, then we say grace, for it's worth while." THE DRUGGIST WATCHES. And He Has Good Reason for His Exercise of Vigilance. Druggists might be supposed to have more than ordinary confidence in the good intentions of the world. Prescriptions in many places are put up behind a framework in the back of the shop, and customers are apparently left to themselves while the compounding is in progress. As a matter of fact, they are watched most of the time. In the framework behind which the drug is being prescribed, they line the place, many peepholes are made, and through them the man out of sight takes frequent observations. "You would be surprised," says one druggist, "to know the class of people who do not mind helping themselves to anything they choose when they think they are not seen. A cake of soap or a bottle of perfumery is slipped into a pocket, evidently without a scrupple. You see this shows, with the finer kinds of scraps and perfumery, is locked. If it were not I could hardly keep anything in it. Sometimes when a small article is taken it is not worth mentioning, if the pilferer is a regular customer whose trade might be lost. But if anything of any value is taken we speak of it, because that we are very careful about leaving a light-fingered customer in the shop alone."—New York Times. Hight of the Atmosphere. The hight of the atmosphere above the earth is not definitely known, but it may be approximately estimated in several ways. Judges by barometric data have estimated the hight of about thirty-eight miles, for example, the height the column of mercury in the barometer would tend to disappear. Meteors have been seen, however, at a height of 100 miles, and as their combustion results from friction generated by their passing through a resisting medium, there must be air at that elevation, though very rare. Observation of the duration of twilight, which is due to the reflection of the sun's light, from particles of dust and air, shows that the limit is about fifty miles, and it is fair to assume, therefore, that the atmosphere, in its coherent form, as we know it, ends at that height—Detroit Free Press.

Her whole family was named in her honor, also the good of others. At the World's Fair Palmer was "The Mother of Philadelphia," she deserves the title.

Miller, Director. Admission, slow, tedious aliment, I know of no attention more beneficial than occasional entertainment of this kind. I recommend it for all my patients, but I have often trouble in filling my own perscription for the simple reason that it is hard to find a person whose voice is soothing to hypersensitive nerves or an invalid. In the homes of who-do one would naturally expect that their reading would be a pleasure to the ear, but in reality such is seldom the case. In invariably, when I prescribe a course of light reading as an antidote to pain and weariness, the patient replies with the question, "But who is going to do the reading?" The upshot of the matter is that I volunteer to send somebody in to read for an hour or so each day, and then it is up to me to provide the reader. This is to do for, while very few native-born Americans are there still fewer who are fitted to dispel the tedium of a sick room by turning the tedium into professional readers. Not infrequently I find voices whose tones are agreeable, but when I put the owners to the test, of reading I find that that they pronounce badly, infect still worse, and, in short, fail to mean any meaning out of the article given them. They probably get at the tones for themselves, but they totally fail to convey it to another. It behooves you express it to another, a combination of the graces of a pleasant expressive voice, correct pronunciation of a phrase. If they will accomplish this task they shall find agreeable work to do."-New York Sun. Put not thy soul in Satan's hands, in hope to have it back again by Christ. Curse is he who sins in hope—Clark.

Alarming Appearance of Words in Spider Webs at Toledo Spider Webs at Toledo. Toledo's wonderful spider-web mystery has at last been cleared up. Seven people flocked to point on Carnegie, near the courthouse, where in plain letters on a spider web appeared the words "My Jim" and "Murder." What made the denizens of that locality骚动 every time they looked at it or thought about it was the fact that the web was spun a the corner of a house in which Jim Lee, a colored man, had been murdered a day or two, while the euthers were of white, while the man was darker. Yet it was the belief of everybody who saw it that it could not have been the work of human hands. Names appeared on other spider webs, but the mystery remained unsolved until today, when a Mrs. Leggett, who came here from Detroit, said her husband made the letters. She made the admission to ease the mind of a servant girl who had shown signs of insanity because of the web on the house, and said she made a statement said her husband makes the letters from fleurs he takes from spider webs. Armed with a string of letters, he has but to put them on a web that strikes his fancy. The letters are slightly moistened, and then Leggett, by a gentle breath, blows them upon the web, and they cling there as though placed there by the spider itself.
