ONCE TOO OFTEN.
Too Frequent Test of the Financial
 Value of Tenpenny Nails.

A Too Frequent Test of the Financial Value of Tenpenny Nails.
 Something clinked on the bottom of the Randolph street car, and an indif- ferently washed Inan, wearing bad clothes and worse face, groped about despair ingly.
 ''Oh, the poor fellowr' involuntarily murmured pale woman with eye glasses and sympathy, ''he just looks as though it was the last nickel he had"
 The other nine passengers looked ex- cessively sorry, and the tintinnabulations of the conductors approaching bell punch percolated through the gloom like melancholy cadences from some distant convent tower. The indifferently washed man put on poverty shiver as the con. ductor came along.
 Flare, please.
 My dime, sir, just fell through the foot-rack there on the floor"
 ''Where?n
 Right down there, sir; it went clean out of sight
 ''Yes, indeed, Mister Conductor" in terposed the little woman. '1 saw him lose it."
 ''Never mind," said the Conductor, at length, "here's your five cents change. I'll find the dime when I take the car into the barn"
 Then everybody thought what kind man the conductor was, and the un- washed passenger debarked at the Hal sted street crossing.
 Not long subsequent he ascended in- to Madison street transport. Some thing clinked on the floor soon after
 Flare, sir," said the conductor, in- terrupting the frantic search which he was making among the intersticies of the foot-rack.

 ''You are the"
 Bang!
 ''Blanked tramp who worked that"
 Biff! Biff!
 Dodge on me last week"
 Bang! Bang!
 The women screamed; the men laughed; and he, fishing himself out of the slushy snow, looked unutterably bankrupt as he spitefully cast away his remnant stock in trade-a handful of tenpenny nails. Chicago Nesos.

PRETTY GIRLS.
Beauty By No Means as Attractive as It
 Is Supposed to Be.

Beauty By No Means Attractive as It
 Is Supposed to Be.
 Beauty in women is not to be under valued, but it is easy to overvalue it. A well-known employer, who has about two thousand girls in his store and work-rooms, was asked the other day whether pretty girl could sell more goods than an ordinary-lOoking one. After hesitation he answered, doubtful ly: ''Yes--if she has other qualifica- tions.'' Beauty alone, he said, will not lure the money from a careful customer; and when girl is too conscious of her beauty, and is disposed to depend upon it for her power to please, it becomes a hindrance The intelligent mind, the winning manner, the earnest purpose, are ''the other qualification" which give success.
 It is much the same in the great atfah of marriage. Beauty alone is by no means the attractive force it is often supposed to be. Dull, conscious, ire sponsive beauty pleases but for mo ment, and does not in that momen, please much. It the good, kind, friend ly, capable girl whom we all like, and who can soonest convert liking into love- If, in addition to all these nice qualities, she has the gift of beauty, 50 much the better. But we can dispense with that very easily when the heart is good and the mind is intelligent, r Led0eT,
