How They Love Each C'.her.
"Yes," said Miss P;UMI.V, ' lie's an
I awfully inquisitive bore, ile was try*
; ing to find out my age the other day,
so I just up and told him I was fifty.
That settled him."
"Well," replied Miss Pepprey, "I
guess it is best to be perfectly frank
with a fellow like that."—Philadelphia
Press.
A Good Job Coming.
Jeweler—llow was your boy pleased

ther—Very well, sir. lie isn't ready to
have it put together yet, but be pa

a day or two.
Interests of All.
One thing ought to be aimed at by all
men—that the interest of each indivld
! ually and of all collectively should be
the same, for if each should grasp at
j his individual interest all human so
! ciety will be dissolved.—Cicero.
All They Deserve.
•'Some people claim they don't get
I nuthin' out o' life."
"And they are the kind that don't
put nuthin' into it to draw interest
on."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Pay of Army Officers.
A glance over the army list
that over two-thirds of the officers are
receiving less pay per day than good
mechanics receive in civil life. The
officer lias no home, but must be pre
| pared to live in the arctics or the trop
i les and change from one to the other
!at short notice. lie must have equip
j caent for both, and while in one place
j the equipment for the other is stored
ami deteriorating. He is sent on long
Journeys to distant stations and must
I suffer banishment from his family or
' take them along. Either is a great
: expense—on one hand for travel and
! on the other for maintenance of two
establishments. Ili- changes of sta
; tlon are so frequent that lie must put
| his children in costly private schools
I or see them grow up in ignorance. Be
| cause he is an officer of the United
I States service to use the respectability
i of lits position to add to his income

I hensible, and if lie makes an invest
! ment he must intrust his interests to
an agent.—Army and Navy Life.
The Old, Old Story.
Hot, tired and dusty, the excursion
i was returning from the seaside day
| trip, and Simkins, a little bald man
< with big ears, overcome with bis day
of happiness, dropped off to sleep. In
| the hatrack above another passenger
j had deposited a ferocious crab inn
I bucket, and when Simkins went to
! sleep the crab woke up and, finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex
j ploring. By careful navigation Mr.
j Crab reached the edge of the rack, but
! the nest moment down it fell, alight
! ing on Simkins' shoulder. Not feeling
quite safe, :t grabbed the voluminous
I ear of Simkins to steady itself, and
the passengers held their breath and
waited for developments. But Sim
kins only shook his head slightly.
"Let go, Eliza," he murmured. "I tell
you I have been at the office all the
evening."—London Pick-Me-Up
Men, Women and Adjectives.
! Certain adjectives are reserved for
men and others for women. A man is
I never called "beautiful." Along with
! "pretty" and "lovely" that adjective
! has become the property of women and
| children alone. "Handsome" and tiie
I weak "good looking" are the only two
I adjectives of the kind common to ei
| ther 'Sex. Even "belle" has no real
; masculine correlative in English, since
I "beau" came to signify something oth
j er than personal looks. It is singular
that "handsome" should have become
the word for a strikingly good looking
: person, since its literal meaning is
! handy, dexterous. But "pretty" like
i wLse comes from the Anglo-Saxon word
! meaning "sly."

Proving His Motto.
"Well, sir." exclaimed the millionaire, j
"what do you want this morning?" j
"I've come again to ask for your 1
i daughter," said the poor but ambitious !
t young man.
"Haven't I told you six times over
, on as many different days that it is
out of the question? What do you
mean by bothering mo in this way 7
You are making a nuisance of your
self!"
"If I seem to l»e more persistent than j
circumstances warrant, 1 must insist j
that you, sir, are to blame."
"Me!" shouted the indignant old man.
"I don't understand you."
"There," said the man who loved his
, daughter as he pointed to a motto over
the banker's desk, "is my excuse for
coming here day after day, 'lf at first
you don't succeed, try, try, try again.'
Do you believe in that sentiment, or
have you put it up there simply to de
ceive people?"
After he had scratched his head
awhile the mean old plutocrat said:
"Yes, I believe in that. I haven't
succeeded yet in making you under
stand that my daughter shall not be
come the wife of a fool, but I am going
to keep on trying till I e!o! Good morn
ing!"
And that time he did it.—Strand
Magazine.
What the Cat Had.
The teacher of the Sunday school
class was telling the little boys about
temptation and showing how it some- j
times came in the most attractive form.
She used as an illustration the paw of
a cat.
"Xow," said she, "you have all seen
the paw of a cat. It is as soft as vel
vet, isn't it?"
"Yessum," from the class.
"And you have seen the paw of a
dog?"
"Yessum."
"Well, although the cat's paw seems
like velvet, there is nevertheless con
cealed in it some-thing that hurts. What
is it?"
No answer.
"The dog bites," said the teacher,
"when he is in auger. But what does
the cat do?"
"Scratches," said a boy.
"Correct," said the teacher, nodding
her head ai>provingly. "Now. what has
the cat got that the dog hasn't?"
"Whiskers!" said a boy on the back
seat. —Home Magazine.
Bible Blunders.
Some curious errors have crept into
the Bible at various times, giving
names to the editions containing them.
Here are some instances: The "Un
righteous" Bible, from the misprint
"the 'unrighteous' shall inherit the
1 kingdom; the "l'lacomakers'" Bible,
"blessed are the plaeetnakers' " (peace
makers); the "Printers'" Bible, "the
'printers' (for princes) have persecuted
me;" the "Treacle" Bible, "Is there no
'treacle' (balm) in Gilcad?" the "Vin
egar" Bible, "the parable of the 'vine
gar'" (vineyard); the "Bug" Bible,
"thou shalt not be afraid of 'hugs'
(bogies) by night;" the "Breeches" Bi
ble, "they sowed fig leaves together
and made themselves 'breeches;'" the
"Idle?" Bible, "woe to the 'idle' " (idol),
and finally the "Wooden Leg" Testa
ment, so called from the frontispiece
depicting Satan limping with a wooden
» leg.
Just a Fish Story.
We cannot refrain from recording
the most curious capture of a fish that
has come to our notice. The circum
stance was retailed many years ago by-
Mr. Heathcote, one of the great au
thorities on the fens. A Mr. Richard
son of Peterborough was skating on
the dikes when the ice was very clear,
ami he noticed a large pike swimming
in front of him. The fish was terrified
by the apparition and swain in front of
the skater until it stopped from sheer
exhaustion. The skater broke the ice
and took out the fish with his hand,
which proved to be a pike weighing
twelve pounds, it Is a story difficult
even for a fisherman or a local histo
rian to cap.—London Outlook.
Not Disturbed.
Nassau William Senior, the English
political economist, was a frequent
I guest of Lord Lansdowne at Lans
] downc House and on one occasion was
i busily writing, quite abstracted as
I usual, in a room full of company when
I Tom Moore was singing. The scratch
| of his pen was not an agreeable ac-
I companimoiit, and at last one of the
I company asked very politely, "You are
not fond of music, Mr. Senior?" "No,"
he replied, "but it does not disturb
! me in the least. Pray goon."
Careful About Worry.
A physician was recently attending a
patient whose husband came to see
; him concerning her condition and
! greeted liiui with the worels, "Mr.
Irving, do you think there is any need
; for any unnecessary anxiety about my
j iWife?"—Argonaut.
Guessed It.
Guest (suspiciously eying the flat
! toned pillows and the crijnpled
j sheets)— Look hero, landlord, this bed i
: lias been slept in! Landlord (triurn- j
j phantly)—That's what it's meant for! |
|
Renovated.
Puffer—What's happened to my meer- :
schauni pipe? Mrs. Puffer—Why, dear, !
j I noticed it was getting awfully brown
and discolored, so I put a coat of that
| white enamel on it.
■
Variety.
Visitor—Why do you make some of
I your pies round and some of them
square? Wife —Because my husband
| has been complaining of sameness of j
! his diet lately.
Jesters must bo content to taste of
their broth.—Latin Proverb.
Forecastle Gourmets.
"Scouse, or loli scouse, ;i parson'*
face son pie, junk, lack, slush and .lufl
—there's a meal ye can't heat no
whores," said the sailor.
"Yes," lie went on. "ye can talk

but they ain't none <>' them in it wltfc

"Foller up yer scouse with a parson's

there ain't nothin' like it on earth.
"Junk is salt beef. Junk ain't iir
brain food. It don't strengthen the
mind like a correspondence course, but,
by tar, I'd rnther have it than caneton
a la presse or a supreme de sole.
"Tack and slush is the sailor's bread
and butter. What if ye do have tc
break yer tack with a tack hammer,
and what if yer slush is sometimes
strong enough to queer the compass':
Sailors need strong food, for they musl
do their work."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Little Card Trick.
A Russian priest was so devoted tc
the amusement of card playing that
ho played up to the last moment be
fore commencing the church services.
On one occasion, having a particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell oul
011 t'uo church floor, to the extreme
scandal of the congregation. The wit
ty priest, however, was fully equal tc
the occasion. At the conclusion of the
service he beckoned up one of the
choristers and asked him the names of
several of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. lie then suddenly
asked the lad the name of (lie next
saint's day, which the child could 1101
tell.
"See!" cried the priest, turning tc
the congregation. "You teach youi
children the names of every card In
the pack and leave them ignorant ol
tlieir religion. Let this be the lasl
time I am compelled to bring playiny
cards into the church to shame you."
And picking up his band he made an
honorable retreat.—London Answers.
A Bad Brssk.
"It beats the Hutch," said a young
broker, "how much trouble a fellow's
wife's most charming girl friend can
make for a fellow—or for a fellow's
wife." Then he explained what ap
peared to be greatly in need of ex
planation. "I went homo for (linnet
the other night," he continued, "witli
a friend who was married recently,
The wife's old chum was there and
met the husband for the first time.
"'Koally,' she said 011 presentation.
'I quite feel that I have known you.
You see. that picture of yours in foot
ball costume that Jennie always kept
on her dresser so long was very fa
miliar to me.'
"Say, you ought to have seen tin
face of that friend of mine. Rut in
finally found his voice.
" 'Rut, my dear Miss Smith,' he re
plied, 'I never was a football player
and never had 011 a football costume."
"Then you should have seen Miss
Smith's face." —New York fJlobe.
Animals Are Not Proud.
Professor Schuster assorts that ani
mals lack moral fooling entirely, none
of their acts being immoral or moral In
the broad sense, and that they have ne
trace of a sense of shame or of honor.
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse of nature," and of moral eour
age they know nothing. lie continues:
"And animals have no pride in the
sense of man's conception of that qual
ity. They are not proud of their kind,
of their kindred, of their individuality.
They neither have an individuality not
are individual. Animals are not proud
because they have no consciousness of
the scope of the value of their kind, of
their enterprise or of any other form
of their capability. They are neither
supercilious, proud nor the contrary—
that is, grieved, wounded 01* depressed
in regard to a possible pride."
Where Beggars Have Trades Unions.
Hogging is a vocation in China and
beggary an institution. In every prov
ince there is an organized beggars'
trade union or guild—in some districts
several. These guilds have presielents
and officials and are in every respect
thoroughly well organized. There is
a membership fee of about $4, and all
members swear to abide by the rules.
The chief#, or "kings," as they are
called, are under the protection of the
magistrates, and their power is con
