II want to get position for my wife

man with slight tinge of reproach, as
he came into the boomerang office yes

his coat-tails in the cold, calm depths of
the paste fountain.
''She is really one of the literati. al

by her washin' and ironin' don't sus-
pect it. l, however, know her great
mental scope. I've been married to her
twenty-one years next frost, and I've
been thrown more or less in contact
with her. My soul and hern has COM
muned together time and again, and we
have discussed questions of considerable
depth off and on.
''She writes a good legible hand and
is quick in figures. Whether you want
some one to make out bills for pay To-
Gals, or write eulogy on paid up
subscriber, she's your huckleberry. She
is perfect lady, and you might have
her on your corps for years and the
forked tongue of scandal would never
touch you. She's plain, of course, in
feature, and has an impeachment in one
limb, it being shorter than the other by
four inches. This gives her an eccen-
trio movement when she walks, like q
self-rake reaper; but Lord, you'd never
notice that after you come to know and
love her.
"She can trill stanza of poetry oc-
casionally, too, if you give her time to
think of few hard words. She has

Freed from his earthly woes;
His calm face upward turning,
And alkali up his nose.
"His person was sunk in the shifting sand,
His mouth was open wide,
The Pollywogs nestled in his ears.
Beneath the fragrant tide.
''His open-back shirt lay on the shore,
And the balance of his rousseau,
While his soul went scooting up the fume,
Out through the ether blue.
"'Twas down around the coyote Point

And we planted him under the cactus vines,
In the shaft of the Mountain Bell.

1t is estimated that nearly 1000, 000.-
600 pounds of paper are produced an
nually; one half of which is used for
printing, sixth for writing, and the
remainder is coarse paper for packing
and other purposes. The United States
alone produces yearly 100000 tons of
paper, averaging seventeen pounds per
head for its population. The English
man comes next with about twelve
pounds per head; the educated German
takes eight pounds; the Frenchman sew

An old tradesman in q French town

notated by leading member of the
country bar, and said,-
Il will pay you visit in March, and
If l am pleased with your progress, l
will give you such a tip as will make
glad your heart and cause your face to
shine"
In March the old gentleman called on
his nephew.
'Well, Alfred, hard at work, I see.

Pretty well through it by this time, l

''Yes, respected sir, my life has been
one continual grind. Your venerable
friends marginal notes found of great
service while laboring at the CODE"

You got my draft of course. 1t is a
pleasure to me to reflect that my bounty
was not ill-bestowed.
"Your draft, uncleP No; never re-
ceived it,

The old man opened the book and
showed his stupehed nephew draft for
two thousand francs, dated five months
before, which had all the time been re-.
