She WIS to meet her adorcd on the
0 o'clock Oakland boat, and It wanted
fifteen minutes Of the hour Her hand
was on the door to 60 out, when IL
struck her that she had forgotten to
line her left eyebrow. Rushing to the
glass to reciify this, she discovered a
small red spot, commemorative Of a
departed pimple. A dap Of lily-wbitc
settled that defect, and she was about
10 make a fresh start when a back
ward glance assured her that her new
hat was not as becoming as il should
be. SO she stopped just long enough
TO give il punch over one ear
and a dyke in the back. Then her
"Recamier locks" wanted n little ar
ranging, and IN inch Of blonde must
be pinned across her nose. Then she
parted her lips to see If her filled
tooth shovel very plainly, and that
started a most seductive dimple in one
cheek which suggested scrap Of
black court.plasier on its very verge
to call attention to its dangers, like a
signboard on n thinly-frozen pond.
Then she tipped the glass and stuck
in the curling tongs to hold it, and
walked across the room with her head
over her shoulder TO get back view,
gave her drapery a twitch here and
pat there, tried TO see how long a step
she could take without bursting the
tapes, gave herself little shake like
a sparrow after a shower, changed her
four button gloves for six, sprinkled
Lubin's latest Oh her handkerchief,
stamped her little French heels once
or twics to settle herself, and seizing
her parasol la the most approved
style to show the lace to advant age,
started for the ferry, where a smiling
official, either in ct of admiration
or sarcasm, offered her his glass with
which to watch the fast receding boat,
already half across the bay.

There is one instance on record
and only one-of a usurer repenting

the exhortations of his priestly comics.

sums OF money which he had unjustly
acquired. His daughters, however,
heartless as the charming Jcssica,
daughter of Shylock, begged him to

poor man pleaded that in case of his
not making restitution eternal tor

A downtown man went fishing the
other day. and returned with three
small trout. He carried them through

beautifully carved motto, "An honest

A FACT Nor GENERALLY KNOWN,
1t is TACT not generally known
that silver coins with holes bored or
punched in them will not be received
at the treasury. BY punching a
large hole in a silver dollar from five
to much as thirteen cents worth of
silver is taken out. Individuals rare
ly refuse to accept these mutilated
coins, as they passed readily. Manu-.
iacturers, who obtain large quantities
of silver, suffer the most by the mu.
tilation of coin, as the defective pieces
cannot be exchanged for certificates or
greenbacks at the Office of the Treas.
ury or sub-Treasury. The penalty
for mutilating coins il fine of no
more than $1,000 and Imprisonment
of not more than two years.

a man oanno, succeed in the sheep
business Ivy following loose, careless
methods, for this animal requires
timely and proper care. To have
hearty sheep, they should not be half
starved at any period Of their growth.
To grow wool every day, they must
be comfortable. Not only this, but a
sheep out of condition is subject to
ailments that, in good condition,
would not have effected him. Sheep,
fat in the Fall, will go through the
Winter aud lambing, all right. If in
thin condition, the relaxing of the
system in Spring, and the extra de.
mands on the eve at lambing time
bring a series IF diseases. No animal
rewards its owner so well for liberal
feeding and pains-taking care as does
sheep. The idea that some men have
that sheep require no care or lookl
after, is absurd. The ewes should've
noticed at lambing time. Some al
ways have milk for their lambs to be.
gin with, aud some do not. Sheep
that are a success in raising lambs and
in shearing good heeces, and those
that are healthy, that impart the
same to their progeny, in short all of
them, should be noticed. Looking af.
ter them it will be discovered
that it will not pay to raise
a feeble or deformcd sheep. 1t
will not pay to keep old sheep, nor
docs il pay to sell the tops oil your
nocks.

is one which, unlike all the rest,

dearly purchased, the victory is
not significant. There would,
