HOW AX UNDERTAKER
CURED HI S FRIEND
Albany, N. Y., N'oy. 25—Iu a lo
cal undertaking shop a story
told of tho Startling means recent
ly useil by an Albany embalmer to
euro a friend of tho "drink liabit."
The undertaker has a 15-year-old
corpse of a man in the collar of
his establishment. Tho mummy,
an evidence of expert embalming,
used at embalmer*1 is in an excel
lent state of preservation. It is
encased in a darx, wooden box.
Few know the case's secret.
This friend happened lately lato
the undertaker's office. He stag
gered and hiccoughed—a typical vic
tim of alcohol. Suddenly the fun
eral director determined to overcom
the man's weakness. He bade
him go down into the cellar and
get a hammer out of a "dark,
wooden tool chest." A lighted can
dle was placed in the drunk's hand.
With difficulty tho cover of the
"tool chest" was raised. A nervous
hand groping for a hammer paused.
Tremblingly tho candle was lifted
nearer the case. Tho flickering
light revealed the hard, brownish
mummy, weird and mysterious. With
a yell the candlo was dropped, <he
cellar quit and the undertaking shop
abandoned and "tho pledge" taken.
FISHERIES TBEATY
IS TO RE AMENDED
Recent dispatches from Ottawa,
Canada, are to the effect that ow
ing to the failure of the United
States to approve regulations gov
erning the taking of food fish in
boundary waters, the Canadian g°v
srnmnet is about to serve notice that
it resumes Its liberty of action. A
reaty between the two countries w:>
signed six years ago for the appoint
ment of a joint commission to frame
fishing regulations applicable to
boundary waters from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Dr. David Starr
rordau, representing the United
States, and Prof. Prince, represent
ee Canada, agreed upon a set ot
regulations.
Canada approvea of them, but
he United States failed to do so,
>wing chiefly to objections from
'ishermen of the Great lakes and
fuget sound.
Canadian governmer t officials ap
parently saw 110 prospect of tbe
United States putting the regula
ions into effect, and the govern
ment now proposes "to make such
imendments to the existing fishing
•emulations for the Canadian portion
)f tho boundary waters as may bo
leemed best."—Pacific Fisherman.

Jastotn Joslin's
Luck
A Fortunate Blunder.
By REINETTE LOVEWELL
Copyright by Frank A. Munser Co.
Sadie Kiernan sat staring vacantly
out of the window.
Before her on the table lay a small
yellow envelope with the figure 7, a
period and two zero marks Inscribed
in one corner. This had been hurled
there ten minutes before by the presi
dent of the Acme Knife company and
was iu tinul settlement of her account
with his house.
Sadie had lost her job.
She paid $4 a week to Mrs. Tlerney
for her board, and the Saturday be
fore, by special dispensation, she had
been permitted to delay for seven
days the remittance of this amount
Ilenee there was now due Mrs. Tier
ney. payable on demand, the sum of
$S. and tlie coutents of the envelope,
augmented by 41 cents in her tarnish
ed mesh purse, would lack 69 cents
of the board bill.
Agitated by the thought of confront
ing Mrs. Tlerney in explanation of her
breach of promise. Sadie permitted a
large and disfiguring drop of ink to
fall upon a ledger iu which she was
making a few filial entries prior to
her leave taking.
All the while the Acme Knife com
pany sat at its desk with a frown on
its face. Tlie Acme Knife company
was Mr Arthur Tjiwton.
lie was a .voting man of mild man
ners and had never before experienced
the pain of tiring a stenographer. As
he heard a stilled little suiff from the
typewriter table where Sadie sat he
grabbed his lint and left the office to
seek diversion.
His stcii' urnpher usually received
from Mr. I-awton's lips four or five
short letters ••acb day. She knew her
shorthand system as a Mohammedan
knows the Koran, and she had uever
yet made a crook or a hook that she
could not decipher. The marks she
made stood for the words Mr. Lawton
said, and she never sot them wrong.
It' was only when she started to
spell them that she encountered diffi
culty.
Fortunately for his stenographer, the
presideut was out soliciting orders
most or the eight hours Sadie was on
duty, and there wasn't much to do.
so she had abundant opportunity for
orthographic research.
Her "Handy Dictionary and Ency
clopedia of Useful Information" was
worn very thin and shabby, for Sadie
faithfully found iu its columns about
ninety of every hundred words she
wrote upon the machine.
But today there was no dictionary
in the office. With dark suspicion she
recalled that Annie Flvnn. who work
ed in a real estate office down the hall,
had looked enviously upon that trusty
friend many a time.
The address of the letter she was to
write was plainly printed on the letter,
head Mr. Lawson had given her. so
that much was smooth sailing. There
seemed to be nothing she could do
about the body of the letter except to
spell the words as they sounded. This
method was much quicker and simpler
awl required far less concentration thau
the process of dictionary research.
Sadie was a touch operator, and there
were never auy errors in her typewrit
ing. Once written she did not find it
necessary to read it over.
iier «<<n» niu™,
Mr. r.uwton usually came In a little
before closing time to read and sign his
correspondence, however limited it
might lie, hut at ten minutes of 5 on
this eventful iki.v he had uot appeared.
At two minutes of the hour the tele
phone rang sharply, and Sadie took
down the receiver and recognized her
employer's voice.
•'.Miss Kternan." he called, "I shall
have i» ask you to sign that letter to
Andrews & Andrews. I can't get hack,
mid I want it to go."
She signed for the Acme Knife com
peny. hy its p.vsi ienl, hastily, troubled
by a jeii-e of d -uht alxiui the spelling.
iis:il she mi'.iei; down the Rap with a
feeling of reliof that Sir. Lawton would
not see it and a firm determination to
get a dictionary from somewhere be
fore moruiug.
The carbon she hurried to tile, push
ing it far down in the folder, so that
no casual examination would reveal
any defects to persons who were sure
of their spelling.
There It had remained until* Friday,
when, quite without warning, Mr. Law
ton had appeared with the pay envelope
and the hidden carbon.
There was a wild look in his eye. and
his face was tlushed.
He laid the yellow sheet out before
her:
Andrews and Andrews.
Attorneys at Law.
ESushnell Building,
Rochester, N..Y.
Attention. Mr. O. Andrews:
Dear Sir—Replying to your favur of the
3th ult. 1 beg to stait that I have nothing
ferthur to say tn the mater of which yon
speke. It seems to me unnecessary to
make a trip to Patterson on this account,
and 1 will send Mr. Jastom Joslin on in a
few days to take up the mater with you
in purson. Tours truly.
ACME KNIFE CO..
A. Lawton. President.
Mr. Lawton pointed a stern finger at
the name "Jastom Joslin."
"Who in thunderution is that?" he
cried. 'How did that name get there?
I told you to say Jotfb Mason, and 1
watched you write It out in longhand
myself. What do you mean by putting
any such fool name as that in my
letter? And look at the spelling! Are
you crazy? I wouldn't have had my
name signed to u letter like that for a
thousand dollars—a thousand dollars,
do you hear?"
Sadie heard and grew faint and sick
and white as she realized that in her
ecstatic state of wind she had written
into the letter the name to which she
>one day hoped to affix Mrs. and claim
as her own.
Lawton was pacing the floor delir
iously.
"There's your money!" he cried. "At
5 o'clock you can go—and stay!"
When she left the store it was ar
ranged that Jastom should meet her in
the park at 7, and she walked about
the streets until be joined her.
On au Iron bench In the scented
darkness she poured out the awful
story of her discharge from the em
ploy of the Acme Knife company.
"It was just because I was thinking
about yo-u!" she said shakily at the
ending.
"Don't you fret, girlie,'* he comfort
ed. "You can get another job, all
right"
"I'll go down to the typewriter agen
cy In the morning," Sadie said mbre
hopefully.
Sadie was returning from nn unfruit
ful pilgrimage to the typewriter agen
cy one afternoon the following week.
She was getting discouraged, for the
agency folks seemed to have no desire
to get her away from the hard benches
upon which the applicants for positions
sat stoically waiting a summons to
duty.
As she glanced across the street she
saw her erstwhile employer, Mr. Law
ton, hastening toward her.
"Miss Kiernan.'" he called "Wait a
minute!"
Sadie paused reluctantly, swallow
ing back some tears.
"Where did you get that name you
wrote in my letter to Andrews?" he
asked. "How did you happen to write
it? Tell me. quick:"
"It was somebody I know," she fal
tered painfully. "1 was—iliiukingabout
-him. aud I suppose I"—
"Well, who was it?" Mr. Lawton
broke out with entire lack of delicacy.
A stubborn little frown came to
Sadie's face, and she made no reply.
They were in front of the building
where tiie Acme Knife company had
its odlce. and Mr Lawton spoke more
gently:
"Will you come upstairs, please, Miss
Kiernan? Mr. Andrews is there, and
lie wants to ask you something about
that letter. There is a very strange
circumstance connected with it"
Sadie qua kingly went once again
into the familiar room.
"Miss Kiernan. this is Mr. Andrews,
to whom yon wrote last week," Law
ton said
"I was much Interested in the name
you wrote into Mr. Lawton's letter to
me by—er— mistake." he began.
Sadie's baby skin went red.
"Those tilings so often occur hi the
rush of getting out the mail." he went
on kindly. "Rut will you permit me
to ask if that particular name belong- I
ed to some one you know?"
"Yes." she faltered faintly. "He
works in a grocery store."
"Would you be good enough to di
rect tue there?" Andrews asked, with
the air of deference which so impress
ed Sadie.
"I'll go with you." she said.
Jnstotn. loading a delivery wagon,
looked up in surprise as Sadie and her
strauge escort approached him.
"Mr. Joslin. I believe?" Mr. Andrews
said, regarding the boy's clear eyes ap
provingly.
"May 1 speak with you pnvaieiy jusi
11 minute?"
They walked down the block, ittid
Sadie leaned against the fence, i ncer
tnin whether to go or stay. She ivant
ed to see Jastoui and was exceedingly
curious to know what it was nil about,
for was not Jastom's business her busi
ness and all that concerned him of vi
tal interest to her?
She found a piece of gum in her
pocket only partially chewed and put it
in her month. Gum chewing is in it
self an occupation and oftentimes im
parts a sense of self confidence.
She could see the two men talking
together, the younger apparently an
swering questions, and from time to
time Hie elder placed a hand on his
shoulder. After a time they turned
and came toward her slowly, and Mr.
Andrews spoke.
"Thanks to you. Miss Kiernan." he
said, smiling upon her. "I have been
able to convey some very good news to
vour friend here."
lie laid a hand on Jastom's arm.
"This young man," he went on. "is.
without doubt, an heir to a very large
fortune, the estate of his uncles for
whom he was named. It was. you see,
the peculiarity of the name which at
tracted me in Mr. Lawton's letter. His
mother. I understand, wished to name
ber son for her two brothers. James
and Thomas, whose heir he is. and
formed the name Jastom from their
abbreviation. I had advertised very
widely for him. but without result.
Both he and I have you to thank."
The lawyer bowed gallantly. Then
he extended his hand to Jastom.
"I shall hope to see you at my hotel
at 7 this evening. We must make some
plans for your future."
lie regarded the boy's dazed face
with a smile and moved his bands to
ward the grocery window.
"After you leave here, Mr. Joslin."
he said curiously, "what will you wish
to do first of all?"
Jastom had the appearance of one
aroused from a dream. He moved to
ward the jobless Sadie and gripped her
arm loyally. Then he spoke with un
hesitating decision.
"Get married!" he said briefly.
