BOARD MARIPOSA

Mariposa, westbound, a stowaway
cut ol the ordinary was found by

men's clothing" and investigation
proved her to be Mrs. Rose John
son of Valdez, who is well known
sis a prospector.

age and used her son's steerage
ticket and disguise! herself as a
man for the purpose of making the

stewardess, and later, when the
passengers heard of her plight, thoy
made up a nice purse which was hand
od her by Chief Stoward Taylor

A Cure That Faltered.
Samuel L. Clemens used to relate j
on tho lecturo platform a comedy of
courtship that might well have served j
to Illustrate his dictum that there aro |
three kinds of funny stories—the witty
story, which is French; the comic
story, which Is English, and the hu
morous story, which 19 American—and
that the latter is the only hard kind
to tell. He recounted how a young
swain was rejected simply because of
his embarrassing Impediment of speech,
and how a friend counseled his taking :
the whistling cure—whenever ho felt
a disposition to stutter Just whistle.
He tried It. and with euch surprising
success that in a very few weeks ho
sought his lady to announce his com
plete recovery. Unfortunately the ex
citement of the occasion proved too
much, and those who have heard Mark
Twain will recall how he would stand
trembling on the platform, earnestly j
stuttering out of one side of his mouth i
and conscientiously whistling out of j
the other, until his audience fairly j
groveled in mirth.—Washington Star.
Husks of the Prodigal Son.
It appears that the "husks" (sillquoc
In Latin) which were fed to swine in
the east and to which the prodigal son
was finally reduced were nothing more
nor less than the large, podlike fruit of
the carob tree, whose botanical name
is Ceratonia ulliqua. This plant per
tains to the pea family, and the husks
are sometimes nearly a foot in length
These husks contain very hard seeds
resembling beans, which may be eaten
with relish, although one would soon
tire of them as a sole article of diet
Occasionally these husks are to lie
found in England and this country In
confectioners' shops, where they aro
known as "St John's bread."
In the east In the old days the plant
was regarded with disfavor, not be
cause It was thought to be unpalatable,
but because of its association with
swine. Together with the acorns of a
species of oak called Quercus aegilops,
it served as the principal food of pigs
and hogs.—Every Week.
Ape the Three Monkeys.
In Japan almost every house has a
stntue of three monkeys. The hands
of one are over ills eyes, those of an
other are over his ears, and those of
tho third are over his mouth. See no
evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, is tho
Interpretation of them.
There are great men In the world,
but there are few great men who talk
much. When they do talk they do not
litter Idle words, hence little evil creeps
Into their speech. Thero are loved men
in the world, generous and pitying,
but they have no time to listen to gos
sip and evil communications. Thero
are other men who see evil, not through
morbid curiosity, but with an eye to
Its correction; nor do they impute evil
and view with suspicion all human ac
tions except their own.
Evil communications, seeing evil,
hearing evil, speaking evil, corrupt hu
manity. There are many who can af
ford to ape the three monkeys—Phila
delphia Ledger.
Tall Hats of the Past.
In spite of statements made to tho
contrary, tall hats were Invented long
before 1813. A Mr. Toft of Tottenham,
who died in 1707, left £50 to tho gov- J
crnors of the Tottenham free grammar
school, tho Interest of which was to be
devoted to the purchase of three tall
hats as prizes for the three best boys.
The hats used to be purchased from
a hatter In Bishopsgato street named
Greenway for 24 shillings. But in 1811
he Informed the governor that a duty
of 1 shilling each had been imposed
and the cost raised to 27 shillings. The
duty was again raised to 2 shillings
each and In 1813 to 2s. Od. Tho duty
wai afterward repealed, but by that
time the governors were purchasing
Bibles Instead of hats for the boys.—
