Shannahan Wrightson Hardware Co. My Night in The Museum A New Year's Story By P. J. TANSEY Copyright, 1006, by P. J.

Tansoy. 1 WAS sitting at the feet of Ram- escs with Adnm nt ray right and his eldest son nt my left, when distant church bell announced rnthcr prematurely the birth of the new your. Nenr me lay, in their figured caskets, tho mummies of the noblest of undent Egypt, nnd the grent hissing arc light outfildo the windows disclosed gently falling snow and glinted or cnst shadows ol snow luden brambles on the scores of mnrble HK- nrcs nil nrouud me. I waa tho only living being lu the great museum of nrt, Central park, New York city, where I was serving for the night In the rcgninr watchman's place. Could I have foreseen the ndvcnturca that were to be mine ere mornlug-- But let me narrate them In orderly fashion.

There had been silence for few minutes. The sexton of the distant church, finding that no one followed his lead, had stopped ringing, looked at my watch. One nilnutj of midnight. Ugh! How shivery cold It wnti getting! Suddenly there broke out the usual din with which New York welconicy In the new ycnr. Cannon, bells, Kteain whistles nnd revolvers Joined lu tho noLscmaklng, nnd nmid It nil I could hear faintly the chimes of Trln Ity.

But only for moment, for Just then from every pedestal nround me down jumped It! marble occupant, striking the marble lloor with a stony thump, but Instantly stretching limbs and yawnlns with great show of satisfaction at release from the cramped attitudes of nbitucliood.

"Mother Eve." spoke Socrates, "the remarkn of the Dncchanic hnvc caused discussion to nrlne between my nnui- tor Pinto hero and myself an lo tlie correctness of the theory put forth by Bernard 8bnw-to wit, that It la the woman who pursues the man, till nn- elont vlewB to the contrary notwithstanding.

"Oh, how could Bernard sny such thing?" coyly answered the beautiful nnd still youthful mother of nil 111:111. kind us sbe clasped her hands over her eyes. "Why, Adnm followed i aver tho pardon, begging mo lo name the day before I even spoke to him!" "I couldn't help it," confessed Adam sheepishly.

"She'd walk past so proudly and so prettily." "Didn't I tell you?" triumphantly cried riato to Socrates. "What? Wasn't I right?" angrily retorted the other oago. "Oh, atop bickering! You never can settle It. Let's have a drink and a song!" suggested Bacchus. "A song!" A song!" echoed the ghostly assembly.

"But who'll sing the nno?" Inquired Robert Burns. "I got line drink for KB IiAT Tllli B1DMUIK3 OP HIE JJOI1LEST OV WJYPT." ilngla' last year. I wlcna do It again.

"JJow, you see, If Taft fcnfist gono to Cubn," Noali was overheard saying behind a pillar to Commodore Ferry as (lie hand clapping ceded. "He's at It again," cried somebody, nnd all laughed uproariously.
