William V. McManus, the new pres
ident of the Letter Carriers’ associa
tion of New York, had been discussing
the ideal letter carrier.
With a laugh he ended:
“Yes, the ideal letter carrier needs
to be as all-round, as many-sided, as
divinely gifted, as the man a Cincin
nati suburbanite advertised for last
month.
“The advertisement ran:
“ ‘Wanted—A man able to teach
Spanish, water color painting, and tha
violin, and to look after the bull.’ ”

THE SINGING
BULB
By A. H. MARTIN
“I noticed it first about a week ago,
just after I had returned from a visit
to the club. I had started to read for
a half-hour before retiring. The vol
ume contained several fantastic
stories, including the ‘Masque of the
Red Death.’ Suddenly I became
aware of a sound as if some one was
singing, and the singer seemed to be
in the room. It. was a sad melody,
as I remember, and the voice was
wonderfully sweet and gentle. It was
a woman's voice, and it was reproach
ing me because 1 had so soon forgot
ten her.
“And you know. Frank, that, it was
only a year ago that Hilda died. It
was suddenly borne upon me that I
w’as listening to Hilda's voice singing
to me from another world. Up to
that time I felt no alarm, but now I
felt my hair commence to rise. All
at once my gaze became riveted on
the single electric bulb that illu
minated the apartment. Frank, as
sure as I am a living man, the voice
proceeded from that. lamp. And since
then it has happened regularly every
night, until 'I believe that 1 will go
insane unless the mystery is solved."
"Undoubtedly the mystery has a hu
man origin," 1 replied, as I regarded
my cigar reflectively, "although I
must say that it is certainly an orig
inal way to impersonate the departed.
Is there anyone who would be bene
fited by your death or incarceration,
even temporarily, in an insane ward?”
“The only one who could be in any
way benefited is Edward Duval, Hil
da's only brother."
During the day I did a little quiet
detective work, and discovered things
relating to Edward Duval that did not
speak very favorably for him. At the
present time he was infatuated with
Fanny Davidson, a burlesque actress.
I made my way to John's house,
and we were soon seated in the
library discussing the strange affair
in lowered tones. The semidarkness
cast by the solitary lamp, and the pe
culiar mission that had brought me
there had a depressing effect upon us.
Suddenly a woman's voice—one of the
sweetest and saddest I have ever
heard—issued from the glowing bulb
and pervaded the entire apartment.
The song was a sentimental one and
reproached another for the cooling of
his love.
Forcing down a sensation of hor
ror, I removed the globe from the
socket. The song instantly ceased.
In a moment 1 had screwed in an
other globe that I had brought with
me. Instantly the song was renewed
with all its original power and sweet
ness. John had sunk back in his
chair. Even my nerves were shaken.
Suddenly the voice ceased, only to
begin again. And it called John by
name to the unknown, and it prom
ised the delights of paradise if he
heeded the call.
With a wild cry John sprang to his
feet and dashed to the door. His wild
shriek aroused me, and suddenly a
light broke over me. With one
spring I had reached John, and after
a desperate struggle forced him into
a chair.
“The mystery is one no longer," I
cried, as I held him down.
“What are you going to do about
it?” and Edward Duval snarled up *at
me, as I confronted him in his apart
ments.
“I will give you five hours to leave
Chicago, never to return,” i replied
as quietly as I could. “Both you and
your accomplice.”
“Before I leave do you mind telling
me how you came to detect the con
trivance?” asked Duval, after a mo
ment's moody silence.
"Had you been content with the ex
cellent song. I might still have been
at sea,” said I, “but the instant you
commenced your other tactics, the
truth flashed upon me. I hurried to
Fanny Davidson's apartments. A
telephone wire ran from the build
ing to John's house. Directly I be
came aware that the same voice I
had heard in the library was proceed
ing from her rooms.
“Cautiously glancing inside, I ob
served that a fine phonograph was
connected with the transmitter of the
open telephone. Then I observed
that the telephone wire was connect
ed with the electric line In such a
way that when the bulb in the library
was open the voice, from the phono
graph was forced to issue from the
lighted globe. If the globe w’as re
moved the voice would, of course,
cease as soon as the circuit was
broken.”
With a snarl Duval commenced
packing his trunk.

The financial prospects of Mr. Wash

“I’d like to borrow jes’ a little

fidentially, to a friend. “I—I wouldn’t
ax you fo’ it, but I ain’ got a single
cent left in de worl’.”
“What secu’ity can you gib me?”
asked his friend, without any enthusi

“Why, I gib you my note ob hand!”
and Mr. Johnson looked pained and
amazed at such a question. “I reckon

“My baby niece was suffering from
that terrible torture, eczema. It was
all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. She cried and
scratched all the time and could not
sleep night or day from the scratch
ing. I had her under the doctor's
care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he
said that she would have the sores
until she was six years old. But if I
had depended on the doctor my baby
would have lost her mind and died
from the want of aid. But I used

Fearful and Wonderful Memorandum
of Baltimore Cook.
In the family of a former Balti
morean now residing in Providence,
R. I., there is a middle-aged German
, woman—a relative of the family—who,
though having lived in this country
over a quarter of a century, lias not
yet thoroughly mastered the English
tongue. The expressions of this rela
tive, who keeps house for the fam
ily, sometimes afford much amusement
to those unaccustomed to her peculiar
ly characteristic “pigeon English.”
Happening to visit the kitchen sev
eral days ago the head of the house
discovered tacked up against the wall
a crude memorandum pad. Inquiry
developed the fact that it was a re
minder of the day’s culinary needs.
This is what was written in combina
tion English-German cbirography on
the little sheet:
Tapioca

The memorandum was confiscated
and sent to friends of the family in
Baltimore. It is being preserved as a
