E. A. Barker. R L £ His Concession. Miss Sallie Miller, the acknowledged belle of the town, had fewer beaus than were her due. This was owing to her father's peculiar aversion to all young men who called on his daugh- ter. He had a disconcerting way of taking possession of the porch and snubbing ‘her callers while they were waiting for her to come down. One evening Newton Brown, a bash- ful young swain, came a trifle too ear- ly .for Miss Sallle. Mr. Miller and Newton’s father were close friends, but the boy had grown so rapidly that the oid gentleman did not recog- nize little Newt Brown in this tall, gawky youth. “It looks as if it might rain,” the young fellow ventured tim- 1dly. “’Tain’t a-goin’ to raln,” was the gruff response. For about a quarter of an hour they sat in silence. Finally the old man’s curiosity got the better of him. “Who are you, anyway?’ he growl- ed. “Newton Brown, sir.” “What! Not old Jake Brown’s son?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, well,” sald Mr. Miller more kindly; “it may rain; Everybody’s Magazine. it may rain.”’— A Lesson In Honesty. There is a restaurant in Broad street in which nearly a thousand persons eat during the noon hour. Each per- son eats what he pleases and when he goes to the cashier’s desk announces the amount of his indebtedness. The proprietors figure that to trust to the honesty of their patrons is a saving of precious Wall street minutes and, be- sides, 18 good business. Once in awhile keen eyed employees capture a cheat. One of these, a youth, was “caught with the goods on” a few days ago and taken to the office of the proprie- tors. Given the choice of being ar- rested or going into the kitchen and ‘washing dishes, the young man nearly collapsed of shame and fright. He begged not to be arrested and re- Iuctantly agreed to wash dishes. For an hour or so the culprit struggled with a pile of dishes in a tub of steam- ing water. Then he was told he might depart. Now he brings his lunch from home.—New York Press. What English Means. Mrs. Smith—What are you reading, Jobn? Mr. Smith—I am reading Her- bert Spencer’s “Principles of Biology.” Mrs. Smith—Why—what—what's that, John? Mr. Smith—Herbert Spencer’s “Biology.” Let me read you an ex- tract—his definition of life. Listen: “It consists of the definite combina- tions of heterogeneous changes, but simultaneous and successive, in com- bination with external coexistences and sequences.” “Why, John, what in the world is the man talking about?” “I am astonished at you, Jane. Why, this is the work of the great English sclentist,” “Yes, I know, but what is he writ- ing about?” “He is defining life, I told you. What did you suppose he was writing about?” “Good gracious!

It Is a rule of good dancers, a shoe man of experi- ence says, to wear shoes that will al- low for space between the toes. It is a point of good fit that all persons should heed, he says. High heels are put on to stage shoes for efféct, not to promote good dancing.

Mike Maloney’s wife was an invalid, and the doctor had been doing all sorts of things for her, changing the both ends meet, and at last the doctor sald that his wife must go to a warm- er climate. . Mike listened to that advice for sev- eral months, and finally when Qctober came the doctor told Mike onhe Satur- day evening after all of his week's wages had been spent that hin wife positively must be sent “to & warmer climate without delay.” Mike left the room for a few min- utes, and when he returned he was wiping his eyes with his left hand, while with his right hand he brought an ax, which he gave to the physlcian, saying: Lumber and Building Material We carry [in stock at all times a complete line of Lumber and Building Material, Dimensions, etc. Look us up for your v;rinter supply of Coal and Wood We have a large supply St. Hilaire Retail Lbr.
