How many people, I wonder, ever pause to consider that theirv bodies are merely machines to do work, furnaces In which necessary fuel is burned, workshops in which wornout parts are supplied and storerooms in which fuel and food are laid away for use when needed? Further, like any other piece of apparatus, the body works better under certain circumstances. Its fires burn better with fuels of certain sorts, mixed in certain proportions, and it cannot keep in perfect condition unless turnished with proper materials. Man thinks he eats because he Is hungry; he really eats because his body Is cry- Ing out for building materials with which to repalr the waste that is ai- ways going on and for fuel to keep it- Jelf warm, and it is rather “finicky 1s to the supply It wants for each of these purposes. At a pineh it can use almost anything digestible for either, but it groans and complains and pun- Ishes its unfortunate possessor if It Is not properly treated.—Crittenden Mar- rlott in St. Nicholas. Drawing Room. A curious and regrettable revival of the word “draw” in the sense of “with- Araw” occurs in “drawing room.” Here the original meaning of the word is lost because of its lamentable pronun- sfation by the uneducated. Nobody, hearing it mentioned as “droying room” at its best or as “droring room” at its worst,” would suspect it of beilng a room to which to withdraw for relax- atlon. Most words of the kind, though. have no better claim to our admiration, and many have a worse one to our sense of language. “Parlor” is an ugly growth from the old monasterial “par- lolr,” or room where speaking was al- lowed, and “boudoir,” that early Vieto- rian expression of gentility, began by belng a room to sulk In. “Sitting room” Is a strange instance of the confusion of cause and effect, and so is “living room.” We come back to “drawing room" as to honest words, at least.— London Notes and Querles. Du Maurier and the Fenian Leader. When John O’Leary, the Fenian leader, was released from prison in 1870 after spending five of the twenty years to which he was condemned for a felony he went to Parls, where he spent the next fifteen years of his exile. The revolutionary leader used to tell how when crossing in the packet to France he met Du Maurier, then a young man, going to Paris to study art. They became warm friends, lodg- Ing together In the same bullding, where they became acquainted with two other artists, whom Du Maurier afterward made famous in his popular story “Trilby” as The Laird and The Baronet. It was to O'Leary, who had been a medical student In Paris long beforc he threw In his fortunes with the Fenian movement, that Du Mau- rler owed hls first glimpse of bohe- mian life In the French capital.—West- minster Gazette. It Was All Right. They bad evidently been quarreling i before entering the Sutter street car at the ferry. “T would thank you, Mr~Johnson, not ! to sit by me!” she said feily. | “Onh, Lu T'll never go with her again—nev: never, dearie!” Gradually the harsh tones melted to soft, endearing phrases. The car had become very crowded. It stopped at Van Ne The conductor, wedging among pas- sengers midway of the aisle, could not see the rear steps. With his hand on the bell cord, he suddenly yelled: “How is it back there now?” «“It's all right. We've made up again,” impulsively responded the young man. “Oh, Willard, he didn’t mean us!"— San Francisco Chronicle. Too Much Curiosity. A dangerous operation was being per- formed upon a woman. Old Dr. A, a | quaint German, full of kindly wit and | professional enthuslasm, had several { younger doctors with him. One of ;th(‘m was administering the ether. He ibecame so interested in the old doc- tor's work that he withdrew the cone from the patient’s nostrils, and she half roused and rose to a sitting pos- ture, looking with wild eyed amaze- ment over the surroundings. It was a critical period, and Dr. A. did not want to be interrupted. “Lay down, dere, woman,” he commanded grufily. “You haf more curiosity as a medical student.” The Result. A nervous passenger on the first day of the outward voyage importuned the captain to know what would be the result if the steamer should strike an iceberg while it was plunging through the fog. “The iceberg would move right along, madam,” the captain re- plied courteously, “just as if nothing had happened.” And the old lady was greatly relieved. The Minister's Text. A little girl came home from church the other day and was asked what the minister’s text was. “Don’t be afraid, and I will get you a bedquilt,” was the astonishing answer. Investigation proved that the central thought of the sermon had been, “Fear not, and I will send you a comforter.” —Technical World. Friends of Our Friends.

[Copyright, 1906, by M. M. Cunningham.] Major Crofoot, grand promoter of grand enterprises, sat in his office with Just enough five in the stove to keep the Ironwork warm. He had counted the money in his pockets and knew that he had exactly 80 cents. Had his financial standing been figured it would have read: “Assets, exactly 80 cents. “Liabilities, about $+,9.0, “Expectations, unlimited. “Nerve, same as usual. “Pigeons, scarce.” Major Crofoot was waiting to pro- mote somebody or something when ‘““THE DOOR OPENED AND THE KNOCKERESS WALKED IN." there came a knock on his door. It wasn’t the knock of a woman suffering with the toothache and who wanted to inquire for the dentist upstairs, nor yet the knock of a creditor who was com- ing in to say that if his bill was not paid that day he would begin a lawsuit. It was a knock that bothered the major for a minute, and before he could make up his mind exactly what to do the door opened and the knockeress walked in and bowed coldly and sat down. The major recognized her at a glance as his old landlady—one of his old landladies, one of the ones to whom he was in- debted in the sum of about $30. His mind was instantly made up. He gave her no chance to refer to his perfidy in walking off as a debtor, but said: “I see, my dear Mrs. Russell, that you got my little note of yesterday and are here on time. Iam glad to see such promptness on your part. It shows me that I have made no mistake in ap- pointing you secretary of the Great Amerlean” Rconomic company, capltal $3,000,000.” Wants Money Due Her. “I got no note from you yesterday,” she replied. “I haven't heard from you since the day you walked out of my house, and that's two years ago. Isaw you on the street half an hour ago and followed you. You owe me over $30, and I want it!” “No note from me! Dear, dear me! The messenger must have gone to the wrong house. I wrote to ask you to call at this hour, and all night long I was thinking of what a pleasant sur- prise I had in store for you. 1t surely must be the hand of Providence that guided you here.” “You may as well leave out the blar- ney and fork over my money. I have got a lawyer who will put you in jail if you don’t pay.” “My dear, dear woman,” said the major as he fixed himself anew in his chair, “there was a time when I was in financial straits. Such periods are some- times referred to as a person being stone broke or on his uppers. I had the ambition, but not the opportunity. While walting for the opportunity I wandered into your well kept caravan- sary. You cast your bread on the wa- ters—that {s, you took me in without money aud without price, trusting to my honor to pay you in the future.” “I never did anything of the kind, sir!” exclaimed Mrs. Russell. “I told you the front room upstairs and board ‘would be $8 per week, and you said it was cheap enough. I couldn’t get a cent out of you, and after four weeks you skipped out. You are a bilk and a deadbeat, sir, but I'll have my money or know the reason why!” “You had confidence In me, my dear woman, when others had not, and I determined that when the time came I Wwould repay you a hur time has arrived. draw you a check for $3,000, but I propose to do even better than that. As I said, I have just organized the Great Ameri- can Economic company. I want a sec- retary at $15,000 per year, and the place is yours. As you leave this of- fice for home I will accompany you as far as the Twenty-eighth National bank and there open an account for you to the amount of half your first year's salary. Tomorrow we will see about your hosses and diamonds. I shall want you to drive to and from the office, and the larger diamonds you get the better I shall be pleased. Do You write a sloping or back hand?” Won't Stand For Blarney. “That's nothing to do with the case,” she retorted. “You owe me a bill, and T want it, and all your blarney will go for nothing. I shan't take any check either, but want cash.” “Mrs. Russell, do you know the value of the waste In this country every year?” asked the major after consult- ing a battered city directory for a couple of minutes. “I know that such rascals as you beat me out of at least $200 every year.” “The money value of the waste is a hundred million dollars every year. The Economic company will save as much of that waste as possible. It will gather up castoff clothing, boots and shoes, foods, played out umbrellas, ‘bottles, tin cang and go forth, In eme . “And you won’t come Rich or poor alike are thousands, although some death certificates.

All the gold mines of Colorado put together can’t equal it. Can you dictate to a stenographer?” “I'd like to know what all this talk is about!” angrily replied the cred- itor. “I tell you, sir, it won't do. You played the sneak and skulked on me, and now you've got to pay that bill. ‘Will you do it now?" “My dear old landlady, it pains me to observe this aggressive disposition on your part. You sheltered me. trusted me. You had confidence in me when the rest of the world turned coldly away. I am a man who can never forget a kindness, when I would requite you’— “Why didn’t you come back and pay up like & man?” “Months and months ago, when the tide had turned with me and the mil- lions were rolling in, I started Zor your house with a check in my pocket, ; I anticipated taking you by the hand and telling you how glad I was to be able to pay my debt. Almost at your door I met Jones—Jones of the cock eye—and he told me that you had mar- ried a French count and gone to Paris to set up a steam laundry. That was the sole reason why I retraced my steps. I have tried in vain to get your Paris addrvess. Are you just in on the steamer?”’ Her Last Request, “You know better. You know that you are Iying to me. I ask you once more and for the last time, will you pay that bill?” “Certainly, my dear—certainly. I only wish it was larger.

As you will not take a check I will run upstairs and get the photographer to cash it. T suppose §40 will straighten the matter out?” “Yes, sir.” “If any one calls tell ’em I'll be back in three minutes,” said the major as he disappeared through the door. The landlady waited fifteen minutes and then began to shiver with the cold. She waited fifteen more and then be- gan to walk about. When three-quarters of an hour had passed she looked out in the hall, At the end of an hour she kicked | over two chairs, tore the calendar off the wall and knocked down the stove: ] pipe and went downstairs, Some folks might have waited all winter, but Mrs. Russell knew when to let go.
