Eng and’s 0id Penson List If there is no perpetuity of work un- der the government there is what many people will think a great deal better— perpetuity of pay. says a London news- paper. “Once paid always paid,” is the happy condition of thousands of gov- ernment employes. Hundreds of thou- sands of pounds are paid from the pub- lic purse every year to people who do nothing at all for it. They may have sat on government stools years and years ago; they may have cooked prison food at Dartmoor; they miay have been judges or chaplains in some little corner of the empire,where they are no longer wanted. They may have been house pers, laundresses, jailers, laborers, ters, judges, gov ernors, consuls. It matters not. Onur generous government compensates them all.

NN School System Crade in Porto Rico. The expense of maintaining schools is very high in Puerto Rico, if we consid- er what is received for the money. The cost per capita per pupil enrolled last year was over $13, while in Missouri, With its large and expensive urban sys tems, its secondary schools and its uni- versity, the per capital expenditure was less than $9. This is due to lack of school buildings and school plant in general, and to ignorance of the principles of economical school administration on the part of school authorities. Lax discip- line and absence of system and organ- ization in the conduct of the schools ac- count for much waste of effort and in- effective work. The gradual creation of an educational plant, and the gaining of experience in the management of their own affairs on the part of the people, will be the only way to obviate the for- mer difficulty. —The Forum.

SMITH. es ELAS LS When my dear husband died two years ago, leaving me with little mon- ey and an invilid daughter, it was as if a warm, protecting wall between me and the north wind had been sud- denly removed. Fortunately, our house, with its pretty garden at the back, and decent neighbors was left us; and there was a steady demand for our front and back parlors, and the little room off, that answered for a library, or dres ing room. Ledgers came and went, ana very cheerfully added their sov ereigns to the fine growing sum which I kept —where do you think?- _in an empty tea-caddy. Well, in the very b'zgest rush of visitors they came. The young man came first—a good looking boy of 21 of so—who was willing to pay any reasonable price for a comfortable, quiet room all to himself, where he could sleep in the day—he being em- ployed on a big morning paper during the week, and until a late hour on Saturday upon a Sunday paper. The next morning he came, hax and and 1 must the little storeroom was not bad, with its clean matting and fresh curtains at the one window that looked on the garden. Mr. Ivry—that was his name—said it was all very nice, and he drew a long breath as if quite weary: and I noticed his ey looked tired and a little st ud. I always feel sorry for young people with sad eyes. I told him I truly hop d lhe would be suited, and showed him a cupboard at the end of the hall where he could keep his housekeeping supplies There were two divisions, with a 1 to each, and 1 gave him the right-hand one. Then, thinking of his sad cyes —and maybe also of the tea-caddy— 1 offered to furnish cream and butter Very reasonabiy. Well, Mr. Ivry roof for two weeks, more trouble than near so much, for I of a mouse—when came in the evening, had just finished setting little room in order. She wanted a room, and the privilege of preparing lier own breakfd sts and suppers, and she would be always at her work at a b'g milliner's during the baggage; say had been under my and giving me no a mouse—and not am mortally afraid she came. She when, luckily, I Mr. Ivey's day. Now every cranny of my house was full, unless—and here the wild plan which led to such constant watchful ness and frightful anxiety jumped in- to my mind. I told here I feared the only room 1 had would be too small and too plain to suit, but if she would like to look at it—and 1 led the way to Mr. Ivry’s room. There was still a faint odor of cof- fee, and a pair of very manly looking boots peeped from under the bureau. I caught them up and held them be- hind me while we talked. “I will take the room,” she said, with a little sigh of resignation over my flinty price, “and 1 will come tomorrow evening at about seven.” “And at what time will you be going away in the morning?’ I casually as possible. “Oh, dreadfully early! I must break- fast at six, and be at my place at seven sharp. Will you kindly let your maid call me at half past five, for sometimes I am so sleepy.” I assured her that 1 would waken her myself, being always an early riser. And if .she would like home-made bread and things of that sort, with fresh cream and butter, 1 thought I could make it convenient to supply them-—at a reasons ible price. She came, and four «whole days passed before the awful possibilities of Sunday dawned upon me. 1 felt that I had already a sufficiently har- rowing time—remodelling the room, so to speak, in the morning for MY. Ivry, and clearing it up in the evening for Miss Hardy. More than once I had what my dear husband would have called a close shave. Miss Hardy fell asleep again one morning, after being awakened and had hardly dashed down the front steps. without her breakfast—except for a glass of milk, which 1 almost poured down her throat—before Mr. Ivey came up them; and I made him wait in the lower hall while, with some excuse, 1 hustled Miss Hardy's numerous belougings in- to my clothes press. And one afternoon, Mr. Ivry lingered so long over his refreshments—prob- ably reading or writing, for I heard the rustle of paper, and the occasional movement of his coffce cup—that I nearly fainted with fear as I whisked his possessions away and brought out and arranged the Hardy properties in their accustomed order. Then My, Ivry left his side of the hall cup-board ajar on the third evening, showing plainly a piece of cheese and the remnants of sandwiches, for she asked me next morning if there were other lodgers on our floor, and I was obliged to vaguely prevaricate. What with a falsehood and hard work and weary- ing watchfulness, my nerves were al- ready becoming shaky. And now Sunday was coming! How to keep Miss Hardy out of her room from half-past six to hall-past five, or longer, was the question. k thought of several things. I had a dear married gladly niece living out in the suburbs in a pretty little house. I telephoned her, asking her as a special favor to take my guest for Saturday night and Sun- day. She answered “With pleasure!” sut when I proposed the delighttul outing to Miss Hardy that young lady thanked me most sweetly, and de- clined. The only heliday she yearned for she said, to lie in bed one long, de- licions morning. Then I set about contriving how to keep Mr. Ivry away. It isn’t pleasant to tell a downright fib, so I couldn't invent some dreadful happening that would make the room uninhabitable for a day or two. I couldn't ask him to change rooms, for there were none to change to. And it was already ner, hoping he would not be greatly inconvenienced. Mr. Ivry looked sur- prised, but answered very kindly, Oh, yes, he would make some arrange- ment for that little time. And I car- ried up for his luncheon a nice cut of broiled chicken. I felt so relieved and grateful, and I am sure he realized how sorry I was to trouble him. But there were more Sundays—per- haps a whole summer of them—to fol- low, and hardly was his first one over, and Miss Hardy off to her work, be- fore the next one began to loom up. I tried to send Mr. Ivry out to my niece for Sunday, telling him of the quiet, the refreshing lake breeze, and the heat and uprear of the city. And, almost to Miss Hardy's words, he asked, as | the benefit of even a brief respite from | replied that the only respite he needed | was a few hours of solid sleep, and he could sleep at home, and he pleasantly thanked me. Then I resolved te Miss Hardy's compassion. that a friend of mine was coming to cast myself on spend Sunday with me—a person very | much in need of rest—and I had no quiet corner—mothing, in fact, but my bedroem, and the kitchen—and would she mind giving up her room just for the day—and as early in the morning as possible—as a special favor to me? Miss Hardy promptly answered “Yes.” I felt myself grow red with shame, thinking of my deception, but I con fess 1 was greatly relieved, with no conflicting Sunday to consider for 12 days to come. However, I had a scares during that time. Miss Hardy, kerchief, and sufficiency of One morning finding me wildly re- mov her effects as if engaged in a fire drill, and only able to stammer something about “sweeping day;” and one evening catching me just outside her door with the last armful of Mr. Ivry's things (fortunately the evening was dark and rainy, and the hall lamp not lighted and Mr. Ivry finding a thimble and a hat pin which I had clumsily overlooked, politely handed them to me, without even a thought of | suspicion. The time fled swiftly, other unarranged Sunday confronted me. s turn to be di- verted from the room. Now I would take a bold stand, and say to him that, owing to our cramped | quarters, my daughter's illness, and the fact that we were to have a guest | every Sfunday—and weren't we?—he would be conferring a great favor if he would find some other room for just that day, and I would gladly make a suitable reduction in his rent, and be so much cb iged. I made the suggestion to him with fear and trembling—for there was tho chance that he cht take. leave al- together—and my voice faltered, and the tears came into my eyes, in spite of my effort to be calm and business- like. The dear Loy! He had nothing for me but instant compassion and ready complinnee, Ie said he, could manage somehow, he was sure; and his room, which had began to seem like home to him, would seem all the pleasanter for these brief absences. The next Saturday afternoon, at a quarter to six, Mr. lvry went away with a handbag and umbrella and a smiling good-by, and I flew to my work of reconstruction with a light heart. No more threatening, dreadful Sundays, and only the little minor risks of week-days to look out for!

Latch- keys had already admitted the first- floor people, and so, when 1 heard the hall door open and close, and a quick step came bounding up the stairs, 1 knew the end had come. Evidently Mr. Ivry has hastily re- turned for some important forgotten thing, and, thinking that my guest was not to arrive until the next day, had returned to unlock the door. 1 heard Miss Hardy utter an exclama- tion, and bound to the door, which she must have opened quite violently, for it banged against the table and made the plates rattle.
