Getting Rid of her Daughters Beau.

She lives down Oh Baker street, De.
troit, and, the Free Press says, she hasa
daughter about eighteen years old. The
old Indy retains all her simplicity and
innocence, and she doesn't go two cents
on style. The other evening when n
splendid catch called to escort tho
daughter to tho opera the mother would
not take the hint to keep still. While
helping her daughter to get ready she
asked:
"Mary, arc you going to wear tho
shoes with one heel of, or the pair with
holes in 'cm!"
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the old
laly inquired:
"Are you going to wear that dollar
gold chain and TINT washed locket, or
will you wear tho diamond father bought
at the hardware store 7"
Mary winked at her, and the young
man blushcd, but the mother went on:
"Aro you going to borrow Mrs.
Browns shawl, or will you wear mine 2"
Mary hustled around the room, and
tho mother said:
abe careful of your dress, Mary you
know it's tho only ono you've got, and
you can't have another until the mort.
gage on this place is lifted
Mary remarked to her escort that it
promised to be beautiful evening, and
us she buttoned her glove her mother
asked:
"Thosc are Mrs. Hardy's gloves,
amt thcy' She's been good neighbor
to us, and l don't know how you'd mall
Ogo to go anywhere if she didn't live
near IFS.
Mary was hurrying to get out of the
room, when the mother raised her voice
once more aud asked:
"Dil you run into Mrs. Jewott's and
borrow her bracelet and fan ! Yes, l see
YOU did. Well, now, You do look real
stylish, and 1 hope you'll have good
time"
Mary sits by her window III the pale
moonlight and sighs for tho splendid
young man to come and beau her around
some more, but he hasn't been seen up
that way since that night. The old lady,
too, says that he seemed like nice
young man, and sho hopes he hasn't
been killed by the street cars.

The Settlers Of PENNSYLVANIA.

A correspondent of the Bucks County
MtciiigCncCr says: "The Oldest place
OF religious worship in'PennsylvNuia is 4
Friends Westinghouse, erected in .l695,
in lower Merton township, about five
miles from Philadelphia. 1t may be the
Oldest place Of religious worship in Penn
sylvana now standing, but the way
tho fact is stated may lead to erroneous
impressions. In 1916 tho Swcdes built
and consecratcd their first church Mt
Tiuicum, now in Delaware county, and
in 1871 they built another Swedcs'
church in Southwark. In 100 the lat
ter was replaced by the present building,
which is thus, rs n place OF public wor-
ship, eighteen years older than the
Merton meeting house, while it is five
years younger as house for public wor-
ship. The writer in the IntCHigcnccr
gives i'll brief form and with sufficient
accuracy OF detail clear view OF the
heterogeneous character OF the popula-
ton OF Pennsylvania \ century and
half ngo. The Swcdes were first on the
ground, md built along the Delaware
river aud its tributaries. Then came
the Dutch, and subsequently the Eng
lisl, with Penn, who founded Phila-
dolphin, and filled up Delaware and
parts OF Chester, Montgomery, Bucks
and Lancaster counties. The Welsh
followed, and extended settlements to
Bcrks county and along the Schuylkill
rs far rs Reading.
The irish, Scotch-Irish and Germans
completed the nationNlitics, moving here
in great numbers, although New Eng
landcrs from Connecticut settled along
tho Wyoming valley, and Hollanders
and French Hugucnots i'll tho southern
part OF Bucks county. All of these
people have left traces Of their carly
settlements in tho names OF towns, vii
lagcs and counties, and in the family
names OF Pennsylvanians. Tho great
mass of tho settlers-tho English, Ger
mans and Welsh-belong to religious
societies or sccts which were averso to
wnr, and it is related that it was this fNct
which determined tho location OF tho
Scotch Irish along tho Susquchanna and
Juniata and in Lancaster county-the
frontier of the settlements-whero they
could defend their more peaceful neigh
bors from Indian deprctlations. Their
public services in those days have been
continued to the present time, some OF
Pennsylvania most noted politicians,
governors and representatives OF recent
times bearing the names OF their Scotch
Irish progenitors.

The Working Girls,

A New York paper says: A harder
lot can hardly bo pictured than that of
some of the working girls OF this city.
They are isolated from the society they
would like to enter, cannot dress accord.
ing to fashion or their own tastes, can
not mike their own rooms neat or even
comfortable, cannot choose their asso-
ciates, arc crowded together in the shop,
and they arc hCrdcd together III unclcan
lodgings. Their food is often mwhole-
some. Good people shm them, and tho
vulgar jccr Mt them on the street. They
often feel that they belong to n pariall
class, and every effort they make to rise
in tho world is met with somo obstacle
hard to overcome. More ought to bc
done in wise and generous ways for tho
benefit Of tho working women Of tho
land.

The Luck of Roaring Camp.

July II was rcd letter day in Lake
Mining district, in the San Juan country,
Colorado, for on that day came an inter-
csting stranger into camp-not over the
Saguache road nor over tho Antelope
park tnil, but i'll the good old way or
daincd by God, md faithfully kept up
by mankind. On that day the wifc Of
S. I. Hoyt gave birth to the first child
ever born in Lake district, and neither
father nor mother was more proud Of
the event thun were the honest miners,
who dropped pick and drill, and hastened
to town rs the news spread from mine to
mine, for they all regarded it as fore.
runner OF higher civilization, and were
proulcr than il they had struck vcrita-
ble bonanza. Tho event occurred in Tie
morning, and when toward evening it
was announced that the first born in
Lake City would hold Il general rccep-
ton, Nil were eager to gaze on thNt lit
tie mite Of humanity which is to grow
with the growth Of our mines, and be

manner in which he was manipulated.

sidcrcdin the ranks Of the singly blessed,
who betrayed themselves by the easy
grace with which they handled him upon
the palms of their outstrctchcd hands;
others wcro there who excited great
alarm in tho breasts Of the doctor and
nurse by the awkward way in which
they grabbed tho little fellow, and held
him up rs though he had ramrod i'll
his buck and was natural born drum
major. A number of complimentary re.
marks wcro made, after which the crowd
adjourned to tho wet grocery establish
mcnt across the way. So many healths
were drank to tho little stranger that Il
passcr by, not knowing the occasion
thereof, might imagine that Lake City
had lost its calendar, and was celebrating
the Fourth eight days behind time.

and so ho would have been yesterday
only hc was not himself. Oh, sir, won
you let it pass!'
Oh, the effect OF these kind words
from little Miggs! AT once, there was n
difference in feeling among the boys.
Looks Of wrath gave place to those OF
pity and compassion, and tho culprits
begged with tears forgiveness md par
don. The master was moved. Holeaued
his head upon his hands in deep thought,
then arose and talked in n low voice with
the constable, who afterward left The
room.
"Boys. hive decided to hold court
of my own. You shall be the jury, and
little Miggs here shall be Judge"
His face seemed to clear as though
some wciglty matter were lifted from
his mind.
"Come, Mr.. Judge, proceed with
your charge; you have bigger jury than
over magistrate presided over before. :"
"Boys," said little Miggs, 81 don't
exactly know what n charge is, but I
want you oil to say not guilty, and prom
ise to bo good friends with Mullett and
Decker, just tho same rs before. The
master said l would not do right to re-
fuse to tell my story, but please to forget
it all rs I will, and we will have game
of ball this afternoon, and Mullett and
Decker shall choose sides. After that
we'll have roast apples and nuts in the
hall, rs wo planned yesterday, md no.
body will remember, because everybody
will forget"
"That's the most extraordinary charge
lever heard in my life" says the master.
"Gentlemen, are you ready for the
question" continued little Miggs.
"Judge," interrupted the master !;
arnt you getting u little mixed on
termsl"
"Order in tho court said little
Miggs. "Guilty or not guilty !"
A unanimous "Not guilty is shout
cl with ring.
"a standing vote" cries little Miggs,
jumping up and waving his crltcll.
I'll not attempt to describe the scene
which followed, how tho housekccper
stood in tho doorway waving her hand
kerchicf (Which proved she must have
been listening Mt tho kcyholc), nnd how
my little hero suddenly lost all his
courage and became Just Ns bashful us
ever when we marched him on our
shoulders through the scloolroom across
the playground to the dining hall.
| must tell you, however, Of all the
good promises made that day and kept
faithfully afterward, and Of what a Jolly

Miggs umpired tho famous ball match
between Decker and Mullett, which was
pronounced by Hll to have been by far
the finest and most exciting game Of the
Season.-NC,U York Tribune.
