BRorHER AND SISTER.
q TrHe Romance of Seaftefed FamII,
With an Episode of Interest.


A few days ago Thomas Mcdonald, a
Young man Of Orange, Texas, heard that hia
mother, whom he had supposed dead, was
looking for him at the St. Mary's Orphan
Asylum, where he had been placed when q
child. He came at once to New Orleans,
but could find no trace of his mother. Then
he put card in the paper asking for infor-
nation about her. He got none, but let
ter sent by an unknown person threw much
light on his early history and enabled him
to find his sister. A picture contained in
the letter was photograph of pretty little
girl baby, probably five months of age, and
Mcdonald, although grieved at not finding
another, was content at the prospect Of
clasping to his arms long-lost sister. He
remembered having had little sister and
brother older than himself, but he had long
since given up all hope Of ever seeing them
again. He naturally drew imaginary pic
lures of his sister in his mind and very
few minutes after he had fully grasped the
import of the letter, found him on his way
to No. 166 Julia street.
Arriving at the house he rang the bell
and was admitted by Mrs. J. H. Kelly.
Mrs. Kelly had adopted the child when 1t
was only five years of age and when the
poor little thing was cruelty treated by it's
alleged protectors and was, indeed, in need
Of a kind friend. All through the long
years that followed she had nursed the babe
with the tenderness of mother, and now,
In her old when the ill-used waif had
grown to be n dutiful and affectionate girl,
she had the proud satisfaction of knowing
that the love she had lavished ON her was
returned. Under these circumstances it Is
not at all surprising that Mrs. Kelly looked
at the young man with suspicion when he
asked for Miss Louisa Dunning, the name
that Maud Kelly was called before her adop.
ton, Mrs. Kelly told him that the girl was
IN the house and then asked his business.
In few words he told her oil he knew
about himself and his supposed sister, and,
not having any reason to refuse him an in
terview, she conducted him to a room where
Louise, as she will probably be called in
future, was seated with number Of, young
lady friends. Instinctively he picked her
out and after few moments conversation
he produced Dolls letter, which was read
aloud. sli.aafp aaIHf Fl
When the line referring to the scar or
Louisa's chin was reached she sprang from
her seat, exclaiming that she had the iden
teal mark. An instant afterward and
Louisa and Thomas were clasped in each
others arms both gave way to their emo.

PHILOSOPHY BY THE HOTEL CLERK.

Paste it in your hat that the people of the
highest position and greatest importance, as
rule, make the lenst trouble.
1t may seem an absurd proposition to
some people, but hotel clerks really were
not invented for the sole purpose of answer
ing foolish questions. fs
1t isn't the loudest ' OF most lordly
person who receives the greatest attention
Every hotel in the land has sheltered bigger
men than you.
Don't spend half your time in trying 10
devise ingenious ways to make trouble for
the servants, and the other half In making
row over your bill. -a..,..,s
A little genuine civility to walters and
employees goes further than an attenuated
"tip"--and further than big "tip," with
the politeness left out
The hotel was not built for the express
convenience and exclusive accommodation
Of any one person. This is official and 1t
will pay you to remember it.
There may be plenty of faults about the
hostelry you honor with your presence, but
don't make the mistake of trying to reform
them. There is nothing in the Constitu.
hon of the United States to force you Il
remain If you are not satisfied. --Hots

Feminine Beauty.

There are some women, very successful
rs such, who are not at oil good looking un-
less animated by pleasurable excitement
An eye which, on sudden meeting after o
long absence, beams out joyous recogni-
ton, has more witchery in it than the
witchery of Mrs. Lantry, expressing only
Indifference or self-consciousness could
have. The feeling that q new and pretty
bonnet is as becoming as it can be often
transfgures q commonplace face. Some
roses and lilies only charm in country en-
vironments. There are English girls who
are raragons of loveliness as they return to
Brighton after canter on the Downs, but
who merely pass muster in a ball room.
Then there is the glowworm style CT beauty,
which only shines at night. I know
yellow-skinned, thick-lipped, pug nosed be.
ing who has distanced some of the hand.
soonest women in Europe and America at
festive gatherings and merry little parties.
But she could only achieve this feat in arti-
fetal light which stimulates her and gives
her peculiar power of fascination.
Ion Truth.
