A LITTLE "NONSENSE."

One important difference between q
man and a woman is that man puts
his clothes ON him, while o woman
puts herself IN her clothes.
"What did the Puritans come to
this country forf" asked Massachu-
sets teacher of his class. "TO wor-
ship in their own way, and make other
people do the same," was the reply.
"Now," said the photographer, "look
cheerful, if you want to have a good

No, Ethel; when you hear of

has got something that will get up
every morning and light the fire.
"What do they do when they install
minister?" inquired small boy.
Do they put him in a stall and feed

they harness him to a church and
expect him to draw it alone"

An Eastside young man. took a
young lady to the lawn party the other
evening, walked several squares and
didn't say but three words. Don't
think that he was bashful, dear reader,
he didn't have an opportunity to say
any more.

is really where the laugh comes in, and
Eve hoo boon laughing in her Siceve

A little black boy stood with his
small sister at the edge of water-lily
pond in Florida. "Ephium," said the
girl, "what makes so many cat-tails

There is nothing more admirable in
a public man than the courage of his
religious convictions and practices.
1t was ex-Alderman Walsh who re-
marked once in the presence of his
fellow members Of the city govern
ment: Every night l get down on
my knees and say my little prayer,
and l don't care - who sees me-"
Prof. Willis, the physiognomist,
says: Beware of the girl that has
black eyes, shun the girl with blue,
and run from the girl with gray eyes,"
This practically restricts the choice Of
the foolish young man to the Circas-

THE DIRTY-FACED BRAT.
Please let me scrape OF the snow fror

"Please let me scrape OF the snow from
your wslk?"
mol Get out You dirty-faced brat ~
and he went, with curl sticking out
through hole
In the top of his little torn hat;
;ut he turned ones and said, with tear
in his eye,
Please mister, my mother is poor"
Il told you once. no take your shovel
And don't ~ you come back any more"
His Jacket was threadbare, his thin
breaches patched.
And his boots we're too large for his feet,
"a he shivcred and stood In the falling
snow
And tho cold, bitter winds in the street.
His faco was picture OF hunger and
want,
And his face was stranger to Joy:
lie looked. as no wiped his brown eyes
with his sleeve,
Like the wreck of beautiful boy.
iweet charity coaxed him to try 1t again,
And urged by the voice Of distress.
10 picked up his shovel and wandered
along
Through the snow with hope Of sue
cess,
de felt 10 his brave little heart that
some friend
Would aid HIM because he was poor.
That night he went home. made his
mothers heart glad
by driving the WOLF from the door.
he told his poor mother how he had
gone In
And asked to scrape snow from the
door.
5ut the gentleman called him a dirty
faced brat"
And ordered him out Of his store.
How he walked down the street and wns
hailed by the voice
or a little girl. who wanted to know
4 he'd wait there q minute. Little
boy, mamma says.
Won't you come In and shovel the
snow2"
"God bless the lady" that poor mother
"She's an angel on earth In disguise"
rs the little boy knelt by his bedside In
prayer
She watched him with tears In her eyes.
They we're tears Of affection and love for
her child
Tears from her bosom OF Joy
Tears proof to God that q mother had
raised
A Christian and dutiful boy.
That boy is no longer q boy but man,
And his poor mother died years ago,
But his beautiful wife IL tho sweet little
girl
Who asked him to shovel the snow.
And he's now taking care OF the wreck OF
OF man
In his home, who's as blind as a bat.
And who never will know that his friend
shovclcd snow,
Or was over o "dirty-faced brat"

out. How quickly their ardor had

had said to her--now that she was dis
abled from earning her living, "Will
you give me the right to work for you?

With half-expectant, half-wistful
look, she glanced at the clock upon the
mnntel, as with smile, followed
rather quickly by q sigh. she
calculated: -
II wonder If he will fail me, too3"
Then with comical little twinkle shin

Uncommonly pretty did Mdlle. Brown

as she lay propped up by soft pillows on
q wide lounge, the color coming and
going in her fair cheeks as she listened
for certain step. But when the owner

very sedate greeting he received.
Raising her hand to his lips he e.
claimed passionately:
To think OF this. my darling"
Yes, it's dreadful, isn't itf" an
swered she. softly patting the hand he
had kissed, while again the comical
twinkle shone In her eyes, but II died
slowly out and q sweet shyness stole in
Its place beneath the lowered lids. rs
Dick. his voice hoarse with emotion,
said:
When YOU were we'll and strong
you drove the love I offered you back
upon me. doubling its truth. tried
to kill the love you despised. but 1t

reply, followed by: Wont you look
funny wheeling me about In one of
those chairs! Not that have made up
my mind to accept you. You see,
1t would be such dreadful sacrifice on
your part"
Pressing her tenderly to him. he
whispered:
sacrifice. Dolly, when I love you
better than my life?"
Then his lips touched gently those
near his own, as he murmured:
Dolly, my wifA is 1t not?"
cont SUPPOSE can do better. It's
not likely helpless thing like me will
ever get another Offer" Then smiling,
ut his protesting look. she added:
for minute, and when / say
three you can take 1t off,"
As he would have submitted to ary-
thing from those fair hands. he obe-
diently knelt down TO have the hand

went and stood as he was requested,

Suddenly he folt two plump arms
