tered and sat down in the small parlor,
and Mr. Palette, having greeted each
one politely, at last stood before them
as though about to give them an ad-
dress.
'Ladies and gentlemen" he began,
'you have heard great deal about me
during the last few days. 1t is time I
explained my position. As Mrs. Jes-
sup, Mrs. Bray Mrs. Grill and our
good pastor have seen my wife, I de.
sire to bring her from her place of re
tirement, and introduceyou to her, one
and all. She is in the next room, and
| will now open the door. l am not
one bit ashamed of her. She has al
ways obeyed me in every movement,
and never gads about or gossips 70
be sure she is painted, but many ladies
paint nowadays. She wears false
curls; but what of that? Ladies and
gentlemen behold her? ?"
As he spoke he flung open the door,,
and before the astonished audience
stood figure dressed in peculiarly
cut robe of red silk, with singular
cap uponits head-a figure not of flesh
and blood, but of painted wood, fash
ioned in the form Of very angular
woman, and quite life size.
eff a sailors ship is his wife, per-
haps an artists lay figure may be his, !"
said Mr.. Palette. "This is something
which all artists possess. We drape
it in the garments we wish to paint
from, and it retains its position longer
than human being could. This is
the lady that these ladies have seen,
and about whom there have been so
much scandal
Mrs. Jessup had given one look and
rushed into the hall. Mrs. Bray and
Mrs. Grill followed her."
"Who would have thought7' cried
the two together. "The ideal"
dts as natural as life, though said
Mrs. Jessup. We ant to blame
"No; he ought to have explained"
said Mrs. Grill
And so the Monktown scandal died
out. And Mr.. Palette married Miss
Grey that winter

Wearing a New Boot.

The Danbuly Neacs says-It is 6
little singular how we'll apar OF boots
can be made to fit at the store. You
may not be able to get your foot only
part way down the leg at the first
trial, but that is because your stock.
ing is sweaty, or you haven't started
right, and the shoemaker suggests
that you start again and stand up to
it, and he throws in little powder
from pepperbox to aid you. And
so you stand up and pound down
your foot, and partly trip yourself up,
and your eyes stick out in an unpleas.
ant manner, and every vein in your
body appears to be on the point Of
bursting, and all that while the dealer
stands around and eyes that operation
as intently as if the operation was
wholly new and novel to him. When
your foot has finally struck bottom,
there is a faint impression on your
mind that you have stepped into an
open stove, but he removes it by
solemnly observing that he never saw
a boot fit quite as good as that. You
may suggest that your toe presses too
hard against the front or that some
of the bones in the side of the foot
are too much smashed. but he says
this is always the way with new
boot, and that the trouble will entire
disappear in few days. Then you
take an old pair under your arm and
start for home as animated as a relic
of 1912, all the while feeling that the
world will not look bright and happy
to you again until you have Drained
that shoemaker. You limp down
town the next day, and smile all the
while with your mouth, while your
eyes look as if you was walking over
an oyster bed barefoot. When no one
is looking you kick post or some
other obstruction, and show a fond.
ness for stopping and resting against
something that will sustain your
weight. When you get home at night
and 60 for those old boots with an
eagerness that can not be described,
and the remarks that you make upon
learning that your wife has disposed
of them to a widow woman in the
suburbs, are calculated to depopulate
the earth of woman and shoemakers
generally.

The Family Setting Hen

Some of our readers who keep poul-
try will appreciate the following pic
ture drawn by the Danbury Neacs:
This is the season when every own
er of hens is engaged in endeayoring
to suppress the maternal instincts in
one or more of them. The man comes
home to supper and the wife observes,
''That yeller pullet is on the nest
again. Then the man goes out to the
coop and says: "What in thunder is
the matter with the beast, any way?'
and then crawls in under the roost to
the nest, reaches in apd brings out a
handful of feathers. Then the hen
screams and run for the door, and the
other hens set up a howl and likewise
depart for that aperture, and the man
-nearly choked by feathers and blind
ed by dust-falls over the watering
trough and skins his ankles on the
boxes, and finally bursts out into the
yard, with a piece of brick in each
hand, and goes after the yellow pullet,
with his face as red as a boiled lob
ster. When he catches the hen, he
cuffs it over the head few times to
show it how it feels, then jams it under
a barrel and pours pail of water
through the cracks, and leaves it there
until morning, when it is released, and
the same operation is repeated in the
evening.

A boy, while spreading hay

A boy, while spreading hay in
the meadow, was stung by humble
bee. Grasping wisp of hay, and
giving chase to his tormentor, he sue
ceeded in knocking him into the grass;
then, holding the wretch down with a
stick by one hand, and taking a pin
from his shirt collar with the other
he commenced partaking of the sweet
morsels of revenge. "I'll let you
know, old feller," said he, giving his
victim thrust through the body, '1'll

Thought of a Mourning Mother.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "JoHN HALIFAX "

BY THE AUTHOR OF "JoHN HALIFAX"
My little baby is buried too.
Gone-gone in the depths of the churchyard
clay,
Up in the sky so dim and grey.
Who will take care of my little baby
Who will teach her ?-her wings to fly,
Her tiny limbs their new work to ply,
Her soft, dumb limbs to sing gloriously-
Oh, who will teach my little baby?
l have mother-who long ago died;
We speak of her now with our tears all dried
She may know my pretty one, come to her side,
And be glad to see my little baby.
Who will kiss her ?--her waxen feet,
That have never walked, and her small hands
sweet,
Where left white lily, as was meet
Who who will kiss my little baby?
Christ born of woman here, oh, here
Thine angels are far off-she seems near
Give Thou my child to my mother dear,
And I'll weep no more for my little baby.
Surely in Heaven, Thy saints SO blest
Keep a mothers heart in mothers breast
Give her my lamb, and shall rest
If my mother takes care of my little baby.

BEECHERIsM-It is said that H. w.
Beecher in a late sermon advocated
the doctrine of Universalists. His
text was ''For the former things have
passed away" he asked: Did souls pass
Immediately into blessednAs after they
quilted this state, or did they lie, as
the Jews believed, in a vast receptacle,
awaiting the last day? The New Tes-
lament was not clear on the subject,
but by implication its teaching was
that they rose at once into the Divine
presence. Mr.. Beecher said he could
conceive, how men when they were
not very fit for earth might neverthe-
less enter heaven, and heaven might
develop what earth might never devel-
op. One might conceive people here
united by force Of animal passions for
a spiritual life, who nevertheless when
death took away what was their bane
on earth might begin good life in a
future state. Men whom society re-
jects now may get standing room in
heaven, not high up, but a starting
place.
