Baltimore News. SHE WOULD INTERRUPT. They met down on Thirteenth street the other morning. Koch had a bundle and each looked happy. After a few Introductory remarks, just enough to Impress euch other that they were glad they had met, this conversation en sued: "Yes, Mollie Is down with" "oh, you don't say sol"' "She was taken with" "Tho poor girl!" "As I wasgolngto say, Mollie is " "And she was always delicate." "Yes; but os I wits going to say" "Give her my love and tell her I hope she will soon be out." "I'ardon me, my dear; but as I start ed to say " "Who's your doctor!"' "Pardon me again: but as I started to say " "Oh, you did start to say something: , I beg your pardon." "As I started to say, Mollie is down with her aunt in Kennett Square. She was taken with u desire to get to the counft y, and went yesterday." And then both went back to the bar gain counters. HOW HE DID IT. The neat young man who always reuehod the ollice before the doors were opened was much disconcerted when he saw that the young man who was al ways late had got down in time. "Must have stayed up all night," he remarked sarcastically, as the young man who was always late took off his cftut. "Nope," replied he: "went to bed at 10::t0." "Somebody must have drugged you out, then, was the retort. Then there was a prolonged silence, and the boss came in and conversa tion was out of tlio question for the rest of the day. The next morning found the young man who was always latH again on time, and the neat young man, who always reached the olllca be fore the doors were opened, was still more disconcerted. "Out again all last night?" he said. "Nope," said the other; "went to lied at 10:30." The next morning, and the next, and then the next, the same thing happen ed. Tho neat young man could stand it no longer, for he had hold the record ua the early comer. "Say, how do you manage to get down so early':1" he asked, and asked pathetically, too. "Nothing easier," said the other. I 've got the greatest scheme beats an alarm clock all holler." "Tell mo," said the neat young man. "Nothing easier. Just write myself a postal card every night, mark it im portant, and the letter carrier wakes mo up to give it to me." The neut young man went, back to his desk and nt.ut.cd adding where he had left off. WASHINGTON BUSINEbS METH ODS, Two business men were walking along South Washington street one afternoon, says the Washington Star, when the appeurunce of a small color ed boy caused one of them to remark; "That boy hus been sold and payed 'r as many times as he has fingers and toes." "You don't mean It?" Inquired the other. "I do, Indeed," came the answer, "and can prove It." He explained that the boy had beep in the employ of a huckster for many years, and that the lad's employer made a specialty of handling potatoes. "ttwus not an unusual thing for him to sell fifty or more sacks of potatoes a day," said the man who started the conversation, "and that boy occupied' uveral of these sacks each day." , The merchant told bis friend that the "ULkster hud a habit of carrying the into cellurs at business bouses and (lumping film the same as they did po tutoru.

A lively discussion arose on the subject of temperance and the liquor business, and those who engaged in it were handled without gloves. One of the company remained silent. After enduring it as long as he could, he said : . "Gentlemen, I want you to under stand that I am a liquor dealer. I keep a public house of ; but 1 would have you to know thut I have a license, and keep a decent house. "I don't keep loafers and loungers about my place, and when a .mun lias enough he can get no more at my bar. "I sell to decent people, and do a respectable business. " He thought he hud put a quietus on the subject, and thut no answer dould be given. Not so. The Quaker suld : ''Friend, that is the most damnable part of thy business. If thee would sell to drunkards and loafers, thee would help to kill olT the rare, and so ciety would be rid of them. "nut thee takes the young, the poor, the innocent and the unsuspect ing, making drunkards and loafersof thorn. "When their character and money are all gone, thee kicks them out and turns them over to other shops to fin ish off ; and thee ensnares others and sends them on the same road to ruin." Selected.

Then she made little piuk dresses for our two little girls, aged 8 aud 10, aud pink gingham shirt waists for our little boys, aged 0 and 4. My wife's Easter hat was a white Leghorn, Hat, trimmed in green ribbon and white lilies of tho val ley, and the two little girls had little Leghorn hats, trimmed iu green ribbon and lilies of the val ley. I think tho little boys wore cloth caps. "Well, maybe you don't think we all looked nice, trailing into church all dressed up in pink Chambray gingham.
