It was the beginning of the year, and Archibald Wise had made up his mind that he must economize friend, somewhere. After debating the mat- ter forsome time he concluded to: give up taking regularly a daily pa- per. Mrs. Wise ventured a remon- strance. “Why not give up some personal expense,” she ssid, “instead of hit- ting upon something which will af- fect the entire family! Cigars, for instance; I have often thought it would be a positive benefit could you do without them.” Mr. Wiee was a kind husband and father, but, like many another man, once he had resolved upon a certain thing he was not easily turned aside. “The family,” he began, in reply, “consists only of you and me, my dear, so far as the use of a paper is concerned. Our children, all under 14 years of age, are notexactly eager for news, I take it; andas to my get- ting along without cigars, I could far more easily go without my coffee in the morning or tea at night. You cannot imagine the solace contained in a cigar to a tired or perplexed man of business.” But Mrs. Wise still remonstrated: “You are mistaken,’ she said, “in thinking that the children do not need a daily paper. Indirectly they do; I find a great deal of interest and instiuction in our paper with which to teach the children. I really hope you will reconsider before actually stopping it.” “I shall buy a paper quite often,” replied Mr. Wise. Of course a man must know something of what is going onin the world about hin, but I think a daily of numerous pages quite unnecessary, and I must be allowed to exercise my judgment in the matter.” It is an old saying that the remark, “Allow me to judge,” puts an end to almost any discussion. Accordingly Mrs. Wiss said no more, but it de- pressed her to feel that the friendly visits of her favorite daily must be discontinued. At first Mr. Wise carried home a little thin substitute for the old fa- vorite nearly every night, but by de- grees even that came less and less frequently. When he boasted to his wife that he really got the news al- most as completely asever by watch- ing the bulletins and hearing men talk, she replied rather dryly that men did have considerable advan- tage over women in the matter of getting news without paying for it. They could stand and gaze at pleas- ure at great scrolls pasted on the side of newspaper buildings and glean a good deal from other men. Yes, it was a real sharp way to econ- omize without losing much, cheap and perfectly nice, she supposed. Although Mrs. Wise’s manner was tranquil as a summer sea, yet her words ruffled and irritated her hus- band; and if truth were known, it was not all quite smooth sailing for Mr. Wise. He did not exactly enjoy sitting in the station or horse cars empty handed, among the groups of men all of whom, except himself, had open papers in their hands; so he resorted to the expedient of car- rying a folded paper in the breast pocket of his coat, that it might ap- pear as if he had a paper which pre- sumably had already been perused. One evening as he was hurrying toward the station, a little ragged gamin, with papers under his arm, squinted up into his face and cried: ‘Mister, want to read all about the cllision?” “What collision?” asked Mr. Wise carelessly. “Oh, you buy the paper and find | out,” said the urchin, his phiz in the air and his little grimy paw held out for pennies. “I have a paper,” said Mr. Wise, glancing toward his breast pocket. “But you ain't seen ‘bout the c’lli- sion,” persisted the boy; “it’s a spe eial in my paper: better have one, sonny!” But Mr. Wise haughtily eschewed On the train he seated himself be- tween acquaintances, who looked up y: from their papers to exchange greet- j ings. “Yes; quite a collision,” replied Mr. Wise. “Ab, I hadn’t seen that,” said his; sician should have done with all] at Wakefield, Mass. who is worth “where do you find it?” “J haven't read particulars,” Mr. Wise, feeling the uncertainty of his position. “Will you allow me to see your paper?” asked the gentlemen on the other side. He was an agent forlife insurance companies, and added, “Tm making a list of accidents late- ly, with a motive.” Mr. Wise realized the danger of taking subterfuge in further decep- tion. “I haven't the account in my pa- per,” said he. “I heard the matter mentioned, but can’t tell anything about it; thought I might hear more from you,” he added, blandly. An- other moment he adroitly changed the subject. Next day in going to and fro Mr. Wise scanned the bulletins in search of the “bad news” alluded to by his friend, also for an account of the col- lision mentioned by the boy, but he succeeded in obtaining information on neither point. On his way home he encountered the gamin again, who asked, with his aggravating squint: “Read ‘bout the’e’llision yet, mis- ter?” “How dare you tell falsehoods to help sell papers?” inquired Mr. Wise. sternly. “Read there fur yourself,” said the youngster, pointing to a paragraph in his single remaining paper. Mr. Wise took the paper aud read: “Boylston street runsinto Washing- ton street.” Without a word Mr. Wise paid for the paper and strode on. Arrived at home, his wife asked if he attended the annual meeting that afternoon of the stockholders of the X., Y.and Z. Railroad company. It occurred a week sooner, she explain- ed, than had been expected, but Mrs. Chester said it was advertised in the leading daily papers. Mr. Wise’s face fell. He was not a stockholder in the wealthy concern, but it had been intimated to him be made, one of which might affect him favorably were he on the spot to press his claim. lence, then went to call on Mr. Ches- railroad company. gust and disappointment he learned that his absence had been taken for indifference and the appointments had all been made. “But I received a circular stating that the meeting would not take place until next week,” said Mr. Wise. “Yes,” replied Mr. Chester, “so of course did I, but circumstances were making it necessary that the meet- ing should take place to-day; it was well advertised in the papers,” added Mr. Chester. “Strange I didn’t see it,” almost growled Mr. Wise, as he turned from the door. Mrs. Wise sincerely hoped this cir- cular would convince her husband of the poor economy of trying to get along without a daily paper, but she soon discovered it had only sery- ed to make his resolves the more dogged. In another part of the suburban city where Archibald ,Wise resided, lived his cousin Herbert Wise. The cousins had no great fondness for each other, and seldom met, except occasionally at the house of Dr. Eras- tus Wise, an uncle. Dr. Wise was a retired physician, living in the great city where both his nephews were engaged in busi- ness. He was widely known and es- teemed among the profession, and had a large acquaintance, with whom he was exceedingly popular. A man of rare principles, he felt fact of Herbert’s being much more Archibald, he yet felt drawn more nearly to the latter. As these nephews were the old doctor's nearest living relatives, it | was, perhaps, only natural that doth | gentlemen had vague expectations “Bad news this evening,” said one. | that it might transpire at some fu- said | that at the close of the meeting some appointments would probably He ate his supper in gloomy si- ter, one of the stockholders of the To his keen dis- that he should regard his nephews equally favorably, but despite the | assiduous in his attentions éhan! {ture day that they had been genei- | ously remembered when the old phye earthly wants. One morning as Archibald Wise was about entering his uffice he sud- denly encountered his cousin Her- bert, who said, smilingly: “So you didn’t think best to ap- pear at our good uncle's last night?” “What do you mean?” “Why, I mean you didn’t present yourself to ask after him.” “How? You didn’t see the account in your paper yesterday?” “Not a word of it! Did you?” “Why, cer tainly. Uncle seemed to think your absence somewhat marked, Ifancied, in the midst of such a large assem- blage of friends.” As soon as his cousin’s back was turned he went toa news stand and beught a paper of the day before. And found that his uncle had nar- rowly escaped death, fin a runaway accident. And at the large gather ing of congratulating fnends the previous evening, when Mr. Herbert Wise was about taking his leave, his uncle remarked: “I am disappointed at not seeing Archie to-night. Have you heard he was away or not well?” “Oh, no,” replied Herbert, hesi- tatingly, “he may not have known of it.” “But I think he must,” rejoined his uncle; “the occasion was noticed twice in his paper.” “Perhaps he takes no paper regu- larly,” suggested the nephew; “and perhaps he does,” said the old man serenely. And reflecting on the sub- ject later in the solitude of his room, the uncle soliloquized audibly: “It looks to me like Herbert said that to alienateme from Archie. I have heard him speak slightingly of his cousin before. I wonder if he thinks’—but there the old man sank into a profund reverie. Aftera moment, however, he aroused and added, emphatically: “No, indeed! That isnotlike Archie! I’d be asham- ed of a relative who would go with- out a daily paper for any eause ex- cept extreme poverty, but I believe there’s no danger that a Wise would do so foolish a thing.” At noon Mr. Archibald Wise was emerging from the newspaper office when he met his uncle,and in sincere terms explained his absence the night before. “I entirely missed hearing of the accident,” he said, simply. “I see you have your paper,” said the uncle. “Yes; I’ve just been in to pay up my subscription.” That night while telling the story to his wife, he said: “Why isit aman persists in a resolve he knows 18 haz- ardous simply because he has deter- mined to do so? I can’t tell; I only know I’m done with trying to econ- omize in such a costly way as doing without a daily paper.” A few years later, when his uncle’s will was opened, it was found that Herbert Wise’s prejudicial hints had not injured his eousin in the least. For besides endowing the city hos- pital, of which he was the senior vis- iting physician, the eld gentleman had left Archibald twice as much money as to his more ambitious cousin, who unconsciously displeased his good uncle by a base yet per- fectly truthful insinuation, only its truthfulness was fortunately con- cealed.—Harriet A.
