Not to be Won Unwooed.

A bright little ycar-old girl living
at Dorchester was baptized one Sunday
recently. After the ceremony she was
taken back to the family pew, where
her aunt gave her dime TO put in the
contribution-box. After receiving it
she changed her position to the other
end of the pew, away from the aisle,
and whispered to her aunt IF he
don't come real near shall keep the
mony myself" 1t is needless to say that
the contribution-b did not come near
enough. Boston Courier.

The petition of citizens to the city
council for the extension of ST. Paul
street seems to be wise and timely
move. There is but one narrow block
in the way between this end OF this
street and the south end Of Masten to
give continuous street from McKin-
new avenue to Commerce street and the
needs of the city already begin to re-
quire the opening of the street through
this block. st. Paul street is but one
block from the government building
and there is tendency already mani
fest to build large and handsome build
ings in that vicinity and when that is
done, the public will stand in actual
need of the opening of the street
That it will require no inconsiderable
sum to purchase the right of way
through this block between Elm and
Pacific avenue, there is no question
that the longer the matter is deferred
the greater the cost will be. Is 1t not
economy then to open it now rather
than wait until it will become an i'm
perative necessity to do so and pay
twice or three times as much as 1t will
now cost?

The Late Rain.

The heavy rain of Friday night, or
rather Saturday morning, did less
damage in the city than was feared.
No sewers or culverts were damaged
or washouts occurred. A few places
in some of the outlying, ungraded and
unpaved streets were washed little,
but not to an extent beyond light and
cheap repair by the regular force of
street hands.

Checking the Gushing Reporter.

1t was in newspaper Office. The
only sound was the scratching of a
hard pencil on some stiff paper as the
able reporter wrestlcd with column
obituary. Finally he raised his head
and asked:
"Can / say, in speaking of the col
umn rules being turned, that the paper
was draped In mourning?"
"Oh. yes" replied the obliging city
editor. "you can. But you'll make an
ass of yourself II you do. You can't
drape anything with column rule"
Then silence came again, and even
the scratching of the hard pencil was
20 subdded that it could no longer be
heard. = Washington Hatchct.

Twice Run Over.

Saturday afternoon as Mr.. John
Hansmon's little four-ycar-old son
went out to get the milk from one of
the Jersey Dairy wagons, he passed
between the wheels and, the team
starting, he was run over. The driver
gathered the reins and jerked them so
as to force the wheel back over the
little fellow. His wrist and ankle
were bruised, but the small part of his
back, where the wheel passed the Sec
ond time, was uninjured.

A Story o. Josh billings.

Harper's Bazaar.
The late Josh Billings was once on a
passenger train bound for his old home
at Lanesboro, Mass. On the train were
several commercial travellers, who, e
while away the time. proposed 2 game OF
whist. y fourth man was want
ed, and gentleman sitting near was re-
| quested to take hand.
| 'No, do not play; but there is an old
fellow who is capital player, try him,
pointing to the ''o!d fellow" who sat de-
mureIy on the seat in front.
Good player, is he:' said the COM
mercial man. Then wen have some
fun with old Haysecd." and accostin2
the quiet, farm like passenger, the young
man, whose cheek was his fortune,
blandly said: 'My venerable friend, we
would like to have you take a hand IL a
game Of cards with US. just to while
away the time. VII! you ohIige vs."
Lacking the young man in the face u
moment, ..ole Haysced" answered :
"Ya-a=. well be there in about three
hours
!
want you to take \ hand"
''Ya,as, the stand o corn IS very good r.
uncommon handsome
The commercial man was annoyed.
Speak little louder" suggested the
gentleman in the seat behind: he is
somewhat hard of hearing
'.My freindr shouted the Young ccl-
low, tal,c-a a-hand-i,i-a
game
''Ya-as. game IS uncommon p!enty:a ali
you want is - =
''Oh! go to the devil, You're as deaf
as a post.' and the man of cheek subsid-
ed, amid the laughter OF his co:npan-
ions.
When Pittsfeld was reached, -'old
Hayseed" arose to depart. when he quiet
ly handed his card to the commercial
man, who sat glum in his seat. and in II
particularly comical way remarked:
young man, when you travel on your
cheek, do not get haysecI in your eye.
Seer'
The young fellow glarced at the card.
The superscription was-''Josh Billings"
Josh got off that train, and the man of
cheek had to find a seat in another car to
escape the ''run' on him by his c)mpan-
ions.

College Men in Politics.

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat (Bep)

of Ohio. The secretary of state, Thomas

Carlisle, is n self f-educated man. OF the
entire II mem! ers of the senate only 80
are graduates Of colleges, and OF these 30
only - hold diplomas from institutions
OF national reputation. In the house the
ratio of college graduates 10 those who
never had any college training is less
than one to four, and the collegians are
by no means the strongest and most in
fluential men'of the body-a statement
which also applies to the relative stand
ing and power of the two classes in the
senate. The party leaders on both sides
in both branches of congress are nearly
all men whose educational privileges, in
the strict sense of the expression, were
confined to the ordinary country or viii
lage school.
