THE OTHER MAN'S PLACE.
A Little Lesson on the Poller ot
Chnrltr For All.
One rainy dny I bonrded a street ear
for willed I bud waited In tlio Inclem
ent weather long enough to rullle my
temper. The eoinltietor stood on the
rear platform, nml I pnkl my fare to
him there. He then went Into the car
and to tho forward end of it, ringing
up my faro as he went
At the next corner another niun came
nlibard and took tny place on the plat
form, while I went inside the car. The
conductor, well forward In the car,
saw me come in and supposed I was
the man who had Just boarded the car.
Presently he enme back to me and re
quested my fare.
"I paid my fare," sold I.
lie looked doubtfully at me a mo
ment. I didn't like it a bit. I thought
had suffered enough through being
compelled to wait so long for the enr;
It seemed like rubbing It in to have the
conductor now stand there and by his
manner plainly tell my fellow passen
gers that I was a five cent thief.
"I paid my fare to you on the plat
form when I eume aboard," I suld.
Then he thought he had me.
"I ain't been on the platform since
you came ahourd," lie answered con
fidently. Now, right here Is whore Lincoln
came In and kept me from making a
fool of myself.
"With malice toward none, with
chniity for all," said the great, good
man, at a time, too, when he himself
was the target for more Bhnfts of mol
lce than have ever been hurled by
Americans at any other American.
And the echo of the words turned my
anifer Into charity.
I had only to put myself in the con
ductor's place (nnd that of Itself la
charity) to see that be hud Borne rea
son for doubting me. I had only to
recall to mind that Inspectors and spot
ters are watching him and that if be
missus a fare he may be thought to
have stolen it.
With malice toward none, with chari
ty for all, I smiled nnd took him in a
friendly way hy the arm. Leading hlra
to the door, I said:
"If Hint man In the brown derby
doesn't pay the missing fare I will."
The conductor opened the door, and
the man In tho brown derby hot passed
.up his nickel.
Then the conductor came back to me
and made a manful apology, and with
a touch of that greatness which I bad
borrowed from Lincoln for the moment
I eased the poor conductor's manifest
mhsriamment by telling him In all
sincerity that his mistake was a per
fectly nutitral one; that had I been In
bis place I should probably have made
It Just as ho did and finally that no
body hut a very foolish man would
take offense at It.
Vet, dear reader, I don't mind confid
ing to you that I came all fired near to
being that very foolish man. '
So by the aid of that momentarily
borrowed greatness I made a friend In
stead of an enemy two friends, I may
almost say, for I was on much more
friendly terms with myself than I
should have been If I had et my un
charitable passions rise.
Lltrlo matter, wasn't It? Well, how
many little matters make a big matter?

Hts Pointful Glory.
During one of tlio Informal receptions
which followed one of the Democratic
mass .meetings in New York In the
campaign of 1904 a gentleman was in
troduced to ex-I'resldent Cleveland as
"Mr. Frank Brooks."
"I nm Frank II. Brooks, Mr. Cleve
land," snld he, "and I nm very glad to
have the honor of meeting yon, as I
owe you the only political glory I ever
had."
"Indeed," said the ex-presldent "And
how was that, pray?"
"You appointed me consul at Trl
est." "Indeed. And wa9 that an agreeable
place to go?"
"I can't toll you," laughed the other.
"I didn't go. The salary was not such
as I could accept, so you changed the
appointment to consul general at St
IVtcrsburg."
"That was better," replied Mr. Cleve
land. "How did you like that capital ?"
Mr. Brooks laughed again. "I didn't
go there either," said he. "I was com
pelled by family reasons to refuse that
gift too."
"Shake hnnds again," exclaimed the
statesman henrtily. "I have met many
notable men In my time, but never be
fore a Democrat who had refused two
offices." Criterion.
Flflh Oat of Water.
Many people think that flsh when
taken out of water die because air has
a fatal effect on them. The real rea
son, however, Is that their delicate gill
filaments or membranes become dry
and stick together, so that no air can
can pass between them. Thus they lose
the power to imbibe necessary oxygen,
and the circulation of their blood stops.
The painful gasping of a flsh out of wa
ter Is nature's effort to free the pas
sage through the filaments.
Coolant Spend It.
"Say, Bill, once I had more money
dan I knew what to do with."
. "Yer don't mean It?"
"Sure. I found a quarter In a torn
p'rancs town."
The Sea Lion.
Very little of the sea lion Is wasted
by the natives of the Icy north. After
being cleaned the intestines are dis
tended with air and allowed to dry In
that shape. Then they ore cut into
ribbons and sowed strongly with sin
ews taken from the back of the animal
Into that most characteristic garment
of Alaska, the "kalnlalka," which, while
being fully as waterproof as India
rubber, has far greater strength and is
never affected by grease and oil. It Is
also transparent in its fitting over
dark clothes. The throats are served
In a similar manner and when cured
are made into boot tops, which are in
turn soled with the tough skin that
composes the palms of tills animal's
fore flippers. The stomach walls,
which look like overgrown gourds or
enormous calabashes, with attenuated
necks, are used as oil pouches, while
the tough, elastic mustache bristles
are objects of great commercial ac
tivity by tlio Chinese, who prize them
highly as pickers for their opium
pipes and several ceremonies peculiar
to their joss houses.
The Crafty Jack Rabbit.
When the settler on the western
prairie sees a Jack rabbit for the first
time he has au Idea that be can Just
skip out and lay bands on the creature
without any trouble, but that is where
the man gets fooled. The rabbit is
awkward, appears to be lame In every
Joint, holds up one foot as though it
pained him and altogether creates the
belief that he Is a dilapidated wreck
of an ungainly, animate thing. The
settler Is surprised that he cannot
"grab" him. The settler's dog also is
confident that he can quickly make an
end of the rabbit. He bristles, runs
leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles It again, triples that
quadruples the whole, when, lo, the
rabbit disappears. There Is some fly
ing grass, a vanishing streak of light
a twinkling of two prodded feet ex
tended rearward, and be is gone. The
dog sits on his haunches and concludes
that be did not see a rabbit at all.
Great Men of Lowly Birth.
Most of the great men of history
were of lowly birth. Lord Wolsey Was
the son of a butcher, Columbus the son
of a weaver, Horace the son of a man
ufacturer, Sir Itlcliard Arkwrigbt the
son of a barber, Shakespeare the son
of a wool stapler. Watt the son of a
blockmaker, Virgil the son of a porter,
Stephenson the son f a fireman at a
colliery, Burns the son of a plowman,
Franklin the son of a tallow chandler,
Oliver Cromwell the son of a brewer;
,&8op was a slave; Beaconsfleld was
a lawyer's clerk, Thomas Paine a stay
maker, De Foe a hosier, son of a butch
er; Demosthenes was the son of a cut
ler, Ben Jonson a bricklayer, Bunyan
a traveling tinker, Dickens a reporter;
Edmund Kean was the son of a stage
carpenter; Cervantes was a common
soldier; Homer was a farmer's son and
Is said to have begged bis bread. The
list might be extended through col
umns. Hair Growth.
It Is a curious fact that a boy's hair
grows one-half slower than a girl's.
In boys the average rate of growth is
three feet three inches in six years,
being an averago of .018 inch a day.
During the twenty-first and twenty
fourth years a man's hair grows quick
er than at any other period. It takes
an eyelash twenty weeks to reach a
length of .429 Inch, and then its life
Is from 100 to 150 days. By means
of a camera the wink of an eyelid has
been measured, and it was found that
twenty winks can be made In four
seconds.
The Top of the Ladder.
There is plenty of opportunity for
superior talents. The top of the ladder
of Buceess offers plenty of standing
room and Invites guests. The lower
part only Is fearfully crowded. There
Is po excuse for the universal wall of
lack of opportunity, for there Is no
lack. The trouble lies with the de
mands laid upon those who aspire to
first place. One thing Is certain, there
Is no quarter for the whlner and pre
cious little encouragement for those
who do not care to work with might
and main. Chicago Journal.
An Oversight of Nature.
It is desirable to exclude light and
sound, but while we have eyelids, no
apparatus for closing the ears is
known, save, I believe, in certain ani
mals which inhabit the sea and whose
ears are of small auditory Importance.
In thfse days, when noises of all kinds,
more or less nerve wrecking, assail the
ears by night as well as by day, one
may be pardoned if be sighs wearily
for ear lids. London Academy.

"Ma, what are the folks in our church

"To send our minister on a vacation

"An" won't there be no church while

"No preachln' services, I guess."
"Ma, I got $1.23 saved up in my bank.
Can I give that?" Cleveland Leader.

"Why do you always agree with your

'A Bride's Misapprehension.
It was tlio Hist Bunday in their pret
ty new (la t, and Mrs. (). determined
to celebrate the joyous day with a
dinner which would make her young
husband think lie had married not only
"the' sweetest girl In the world," but
"the best cook." It was perfectly
lovely to set the little round dining
room table with the nicest presents,
and the preparation of a tempting
salad and dessert was not exactly a
trying ordeal, but the roasting of tho
chicken made her a little nervous. Aft
er succeeding, with, the assistance of
a large oilcloth book, In getting the
fowl into the oven shu sang from sheer
relief. X little later, when the music
had ceased and the silence In the
kitchen became suspicious, Mr. O.
opened the dour. Kneeling down be
fore tho oven, with Hushed fuce and
tearful eyes, wus Mrs. O. On the

In one hand was a long needlo with

Snorting- liepartee.
' It is doubtful, said a biographer, If
any repartee ever surpassed In deli
cacy tho reply mude by au East Indian
servant of the late Lord Dufferln when
he was viceroy of Indln.
"Well, what sort of sport has Lord
had?" said the viceroy one day to
his shikaree, or sporting servant, who
had attended a young English lord on
a shooting excursion.
"Oh," replied the scrupulously polite
Hindoo, "the young sahib shot divine
ly, hut Providence was very merciful
toflM Wrdsl"
Trs story calls to mind one 'told by
the writer of some reminiscences of
Sydiiuy Smith. On one occasion the
celebrated physician, Sir Henry Hol
land', told the witty divine Unit he bad
failed to (III either one of a brace of
pheasants that had risen within easy
range near Smith's house.
"Why did you not prescribe for
them?" came tho quick reply.
The Weight of lints.
"What do you suppose this bat
weighs?" said the hatter, taking up a
fine eight dollar tup hat of silk.
"About a pound," the patron hazard
ed. "Only a little over a quarter of a
pound five ounces, to be precise. No
fac4 hat,'.' said the hatter, "runs ovor
fonr or five ounces nowadays.
"This white felt lint It is worth $25
welglis less than nil ounce. This new
flvedolfnr derby hat weighs four
ounces. Straw hats run from two to
four ounces In weight.
"It pays a man to make tho weight
an. Important consideration in the
choosing of a hat for a light hat Is a
prevention of headache, nnd its injuri
ous effect on the hair Unreduced to a
minimum." Philadelphia Bulletin.
Castor Oil Corktnll.
"Give mo a castor oil cocktail," said
the man at the drug store counter.
Tho clerk poured a bottle of sarsapn
lllla into a glass, dashed a few drops
of paregoric into It and then poured
in some castor oil. The man drank It
with a pleasant face and walked out
as if he had drunk soda water Instead
of castor oil. "Yes, we have quite a
call' for castor oil cocktails," said the
clerk. "If a man's system Is a little
out and he needs a doso of castor oil
the only way to take it Is in the cock
tail form. You wouldn't know there
was a drop of castor oil in It If you've
ever taken castor oil neat you will rec
ognize the value of the cocktails
Detroit News-Tribune.
The Hotel Brasher.
The position of brushor In the barber
shop of a large hotel In New York Is
worth at least $30 a week If a young
man attends to his business. Hotel pa
trons are liberal tippers. Tho brusber
Is expected to find seats for customers
if the burbers' chairs are filled and to
hand around the morning and illustrat
ed papers. The boss barber pays them
no salary. Permission to work In the
shop Is considered sufficient .compensa
tion: The hours are long, and in most
cases brushers are allowed a boy as an
assistant.
A Noetarne.
"You will have to accompany me,"
said the new and zealous officer of the
law, laying a firm hand on the arm of
the seedy young man who was making
night hideous with a cornet.
"Ortnlnly," ' suld the musician, af
fectionately linking his arm in the po
llcextran's. "What do you wish to sing
and in what key?" '
Kept Awake.
"How are you getting on with your
music, my dear?" Inquired a lady of
her niece.
"Well, of course," replied the niece
diffidently, "It wouldn't be proper for
me to compliment myself, but some of
the neighbors have told me they have
stayed awake at night for hours listen
ing to my playing."

BOER TOBACCO.
tatives Use It, bat It la Too Maeh
For White Men.
After Transvaal tobacco, but a long
way after, comes Boer. The name Is In
reality nowadays a misnomer, fur tills
tobacco is grown largely lu Natal und
Cupe Colony. It Is ulso cultivated in
tho Orange Klver Colony, la sold by the
roll and can be obtained for about $8 a
pound If a whole rull Is purchased. It
Is also sold by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do nut smoke the contents themselves;
they use It to reward the Kaffir serv
ants for working overtime or doing any
other meritorious action. The taste for
Tniusviuir tobacco Is on acquired one.
It also takes a certain time before a
man g;'ts used to the scent No white
man who has come from a distance has
so' far lived long enough to acquire a
liking for either the taste or the smell,
but It has Its uses In tho case of the
natives, and it Is also useful If you
have mi undesirable visitor whom you
are anxious to get rid of. Offer him a
pipe of Hoer tobacco, and be will never
enter your house again.
The traders purchase this weed large
ly. They also use It upon the natives
In the shape of presents, as every Kaf
fir who makes a purchase In a country
store always asks for a free gift, and
the competition to secure the native
trade Is so acute that the request can
not bo refused. South Africa.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
Make tip Yonr Mind to Seek It Rath,
er Than Walt For It.
It Is a dangerous thing to wait for
opportunities until It becomes a hnblt.
Energy and inclination for hard work
or.e out lu the waiting. Opportunity
becomes Invisible to those who are do
log nothing or looking somewhere else
for It. It Is the great worker, the man
who Is alert for chances, that see.4
them.
Some people become so opportunity
blind that tney cannot see chances any
wherethey would pnss through a gold
mine without noticing anything pre
ciouswhile others will find opportuni
ties In the must barren and out of the
way places. Bunyan found opportu
nity In Bedford Jail to write the great
est allegory In the world on the un
twisted paper that bad been used to
eork his bottles of milk. A Theodore
Parker or a Lucy Stone sees an oppor
tunity to go to college in a chance to
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition In a chance to chop
wood, wait on table or run errands,
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees an opportunity to get an edu
cation In the odds and ends of time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away. O. 8. Marden in
Success Magazine.
SUNDAY MEALS.
Do Not Overeat and Yoa Will Feel
Better on Monday.
If It Is desired to begin the week re
freshed and ready for labor, rested in
mind and body, tlio eating customs of
Sunday will have to be readjusted.
Have a later breakfast. If desired, but
have then a very light one even if you
ore hungry, or, if it must be hearty,
then do not upset your digestive hab
its any more than may be avoided and
have but two meals on that day and
eat no other. It would be far better to
have three light meals, lighter than
usual, If that could be arranged to fit
with the other household arrangements.
The custom of noon dinner on that day
arises from the usual absence of cook
or maid at the later one, and this may
be unavoidable. Very well, then; treat
this as a rest day for cook and diges
tive apparatus as well as from other
labors. Have a light breakfast, a light
dinner and a chafing dish supper as
near the ordinary hours of meals as
possible nnd remember as you are go
ing to take less exercise than usual
you demand a lesser amount of more
easily digested food. Helen Johnson
In Good Housekeeping.
"Off" For ''From."
As a stranger In Philadelphia I was
much amused by certain provincial
isms. One of these was the use of the
word "off" instead of "from." "Please
buy flowers off me," say the youthful
street venders. One day while waiting
for some groceries a young lady, evi
dently unused to housekeeping, ap
proached the raw Irish clerk and tim
idly asked: "I want some mutton to
make broth. Shall I get it off the
neck?" "No, ma'am," was the solemn
reply as tho clerk pointed to the butch
er busy at his block, "ye git it off that
mon." Presbyterian.
Crashed.
"I think I never saw Ryraer so utter
ly crushed as he was when bis first
poem appeared In print"
"What was the matter? Some typo
graphical error in the poem?"
"No, that wasn't it What crushed
him was that the paper was sold for
a penny a copy, Just as usual."

The cloth It pure wool. Not
a fibre of anything else in it.
What a simple thinr that it to
say and how difficult to do I
Every piece of cloth Is subject
to chemical test and the presence
of anything but wool excludes it
from the Clothcraft family.
Some of ihe cloth men think
the Clolhcraftcrs are foolishly
particular and particularly fool
ish. Also they of fer many "just-as-good
" arguments.
But the Clothcrafters know of
only one way to make all-wool
clothinr and that is to use ail
wool cloth made of all-wool
yarn containing nothing but pure
wool fibres.
" Near-wool " looks pretty
rood in the piece but the truth
will come out in the wear.
Wool holds its color and its
firmness. There is no success
ful substitute for it and yet
Clothcraft Clothes are the only
ready-to-wear brand that are
always and absolutely all-wool
and nothing but wool.
And they cost less than any
others of like value.
