Cleveland's Greediness For Work.
President Cleveland was often at his
! desk in the White House until 3 o'clock
! in the morning and up again at 8. I
| tell into the way of working until
| about 1 o'clock in the morning, and
| because of the oppressive heat I kept
the door of my room wide open. Of-
| ten during the hours around midnight
| 1 would step into the hall in hope of
| getting a stray breath of air. Once it
| so happened that as 1 looked across
| the hall to the half open door turned
| toward mine I saw upon its polished
| surface the reflection of the hand of a
| man writing with a patience and an
| industry that amazed me. J knew that
the president was at his desk. I used
to ask the watchman when I went to
| my task in the morning at what hour
the president had knocled off work
| the preceding night. 1 found that it
| was generally about 8 o'clock in the
| morning, although’ sometimes when he
: had finished some severe task that he

o'clock, but I did once or twice hang
on until 2 in the hope that I might, if

The March of the Caravan.
Perhaps the weirdest and most im-
pressive of the many unwonted mem-
ories that the traveler carries away
with bim from travel in the east is
the recollection of the camel caravans
which he has encountered at night.
Out of the black darkness is heard the
distant boom of a heavy bell. Mourn
fully and with perfect regularity ox
{iteration it sounds, gradually swelling
nearer and louder and perhaps min-
gling with the tones of smaller bells
signaling the rear guard of the same
caravan. The big bell is the insignia
and alarm of the leading camel alone.
But, nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a
visible object appears to accompany
it. Suddenly and without the slight-
est warning there looms out of the |
darkness, like the apparition of a
phantom ship, the form of the captain
of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and
like a great string of linked ghouls the
silent procession stalks by and is swal-
lowed up in the night.—“Persia and
the Persian Question.”
It Is to Smile.
In walking through a train a smile
always relieves the tension of the mo
ment, even if it is the train of your
hostess’ best dinner gown.
A smile is frequently used to conceal
a vacuum. If it is a broad smile,
however, it defeats its purpose.
If your newly married friends insist
upon your holding the baby, grab the
infant firmly by the back of the neck
and smile. The parents will remove
the child at once.
If your dinner partner is talking
over your head, smile. He will prob
ably grow uncomfortable immediate-
Jy and change the subject.
If your rival appears to be cutting
you out with the only girl, smile. This
will rouse her suspicions at once, and
she will devote the rest of her time
trying to find out who “that girl” is.
A smile is a handy thing to have
round, even when it is as broad as
it is long. It may square a long stand-
ing grievance.—Puck.
Redundant Particulars.
Cleveland people consider the name
of their town sufficient as an address
without the addition of Ohio, and one
protesting against the use of the name
of the state tells a story to illustrate
the folly of redundant particulars. “It
reminds me,” he said, “of the fussy
Englishman who went up to St. Peter
and said, ‘I'm from London.’ And
then, for fear the saint might mix him
up with somebody else, he added,
‘London, England, you know. That
riled the good old gatekeeper. ‘From
London, England, eh? he said. ‘Well,
Mr. Man from London, England, you're
knocking at the wrong door. Your
new address is Sheol, Brimstone coun-
ty, Dominion of Lucifer! "—Exchange.
The Gnu In the Zoo.
They've got a gnu in the zoo. It's a
new gnu. That is to say, no one ever
knew it there before. When it arrived
it bad very little coat. Consequently
it was in a state of gnudity; hence,
this new ditty we are composing on
the subject. But now it is no longer
gonude. That new gnu knew some-
thing and grew a new coat for the
cold weather. If some people knew
what that new Nubian gnu knew, they
would keep their hair on.—London
Scraps.
Importance of Vowels.
Do you fully realize the importance
of the vowel “e” in English? The in-
scription, “Prsrvyprictmnvrkpthsprep-
tstn,” over the Decalogue in an Eng-
lish country church puzzied people for
200 years. Pepper it properly with
“g's” and you may read, “Preserve, ye
perfect men; ever keep these
ten.” Easy, isn’t it?—Boston Globe.
Modest Modern Man.
Whatever may be said of the modern
man, he cannot be said to be lacking in
modesty. While the ancients did their
utmost to prove that they issued from
the gods, we do our best to demon-
strate that we have descended from
monkeys.—Paris Journal,

New York's Lobster Palaces.
| Nobody of distinction of appetite
| goes to a lobster palace to eat. One
| goes there in gaudy mood or when
| every other place is filled or closed or
with the kind of man who thinks gay-
| ety means overdressed women, bedia-
| moned men, waiters rushing with
| champagne as if they had the fire
i buckets and a caterwauling orchestra,
| At midnight the din and the excite-
| ment incline a sedate man to ask him-
| self whether he is not in a riot. If
| you have a lobster digestion, you don't
hear the din or feel the maelstrom of
patrons swirling about you. A man
| trate all his faculties, mental, physical,
moral and intellectual, on the ordeal.
You have heard no doubt of the young
lady who was asked over her first lob-
ster how she liked it. “I think,” she
declared,
there weren't so many large bones in
it. They look like celluloid, don't
they ?”—Richard Duffy in Putnam's.
He Was a Poor Guesser.
He was a new conductor and anx-
fous to expedite matters. When he
saw a woman holding a two dollar bill
in her hand he dispensed with the
customary exhortation to pay her fare
and began to count out change. There
had been a drain on his pocket~
throughout the trip, and he was
| cured the desired smal! coin. Finally
the transaction was completed, and the
conductor returned to the woman,
“Fare? he said.
The woman fished a nickel from her
two dollar bill.
“Dear me!” she said. “How careless
1 am! 1 forgot I had that money in
my hand. Somebody might have
stolen it.”
“Chump!” growled the conductor.
The woman thought he meant her,
but he didn't. He was cursing his
own stupidity.—New York Globe.
French Peasant Women Havd Workers.
The French peasant woman, Bre-
tonne or otherwise, works hard as any
man. It makes one sad to see the
women working in the fields, digging
and delving, carrying heavy burdens,
driving the cattle, sometimes attend-
ing to the machinery employed on the
farms. One wonders whether hus-
bands and fathers appreciate it all,
especially when you hear some of the
ballads, for ballads are supposed to
reveal the soul of a people. I heard
one the other day of which the refrain
is as follows:
Dear is my good wife Jeanne,
Her death I should deplore,
But dearer are my beaves,
Their joss would grieve me more!
—From Plougastel (France) Letter to
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Mennonites.
The Mennonites grew out of four
sects of Dutch, Flemish and German
Baptists. They derive their name from
Menno Simons, a Catholic priest who
became a leader of the anabaptists in
about 1537. Simons was born in 1492
and died in 1587. His “True Christian
Belief” was published three years be-
fore his desth. Following the death
of the leading spirit the sect under-
went divisions and changes of creed.—

Washington's Rebuke.
“Washington,” said a senator, “was
not a cynic, yet he sometimes said
things so wretchedly true that they
had a cynical note. Thus, rebuking a
certain type of churchgoer, he once
wrote:
“ “The church's feasts and fasts are
marvelously well kept up. The rich
keep the feasts and the poor the
fasts." ”
