There are books in abundance on how to give dinners. How to get them is another part of the business.-Ne1o Orleans Picdyune
 "Women are so contrary" said Blobbs ''I thought when l got married my wife would darn my socks and let me alone; instead of that she lets my socks alone and darns me" - Wheeling Journal
 An English bishop auerulously remarked to his servant that he was dying. "Well, my lord,'' said the good fellow, "you are go- ing to better place. ''John," replied the prelate, with an air of conviction, there's place like old England!"
 Overdid it ''Why, of course you want 8 telephone put in your house." said the can vasser to the business man ; 'tit will be so handy when your wife wants to talk to you" "There,'' exclaimed the business man, pick. ing up the stool, "that will do. listened to you when you urged the point that I could order provisions from the butcher, and I looked with favor on your representations that it would afford unequalled facilities for ordering in the beer, but when you tell me that the only rest get during the day is go- ing to be ruthlessly busted into through the medium of galvanized tintype, then it is time you were breathing your atmosphere into other ears You may make yourself less ad- jacent, young man.'' He made.-Det7Oit Free Press.
 Theodore was poor lad One day when he was hungry he espied five cent piece on the floor of the brokers office which he was sweeping out. He had remembered stories wherein little boys had picked up small piece of money, handed it to the great mer- chant or rich banker and been immediately taken into partnerahip- So Theodore stepped mp to the door Of the brokers private room and said Please, sir, here's a five cent piece I found on the floor" The broker looked at Theodore moment and then said You found that on my floor, did you? And you are hungry, arn't your" ''Yes, sir" replied Theodore. ''Well, give 1t to me and get out. I was looking around for partner, out boy who doesn't know enough to buy bread when he is starving to death would make but sorry broker. No, boy, I can't take you into the firm" And Theodore nev- er became great broker. Honesty is the best policy, children, but it is not indispensa- ble to success in the brokerage business CH7iStidn at WOTk.
 How dear to my heart is the school attended,
 And ho I remember so distant and dim, That red-heAded Bill, and the pin that pended
 And carefully put on the bench under himI And how recall the surprise of the master
 When Bill gave yell, and sprang up with the pin 70 high that his bullet head busted the plaster
 Above and the scholars all set up grin. That active boy, Billy, that gh-leaping Billy! That loud-shouting Billy who sat on pin

Behtnda FIower Wagon,


 A melancholy looking horse in a composite harness of old leather and bits of rope droop- ed sadly before rickety green wagon filled with bright Towering plants from Prairie avenue greenhouse, on the corner of West minister and Dorrance streets, yesterday afternoon. Leaning against the wagons of wheel was a short, tanned, chubby faced boy, whistling dolefully and apparently lost !. in thought. The sun shone brightly on the red geraniums and purple pansies in the wagon and on the envious bonnets of the women that passed them by.
 How is business ?'' asked Star reporter after he had admired a calla lily and inquired the price thereof
 The boy sighed mournfully and relieved the wheel of his weight by coming round to the curbstone.
 ''lt an as bad as it might be-" he said, ''but that ain't the question. Do you see that cop over thar ?" pointing to the broad blue back of an officer that was slowly fading away up Dorrance street. ''Them's the fellers that runs our business. I've been showed aroun' four times to-day, and haint agoin to stan It any longer. He wants me to go down to the river" continued the stout boy, with intense sarcasm, "A good many plants I'd sell down there, wouldn't F"
 'Well, you haven't gone yet. and you may sell good many before he comes back, " said the reporter, encouragingly, ih reckless defiance of the ordinance against peddlers.
