A Penny Wise, POund-FOolish King.

King Ludwig l.. of Bavaria, whose
name IS being recalled at the present
time in various ways. was as much noted
for his lavish expenditure of money in
identifying his capital as for his economy
IN minor matters. 1t is said he wore
the same old coat to be shaved in for
forty wears, and whenever it rained sent
a lackey for his old umbrella, saying it
was too bad TO use the new one, for it
had cost seven gulden. The following
anecdote is quite Characteristic of the
King: Among the many pri .ileges en-
joyed by all persons in the slightest way
connected with the court, during the
reign Of his easy-going predecessor, King
Max, from the chief marshal down TO the
Oven-heater, was that of having their
soiled linen washed in the royal laundry

palace walls. Sending for his CASTELAR,,

Ian, ''it was ever the custom Of our late
King of blessed memory TO allow few

The only size sacks they seem to object

BY the Fire.

wheu daylight darkens in the skies,
When evening shadows fall,
Alone, i watch with dreaming eve.
The freight on the wall;
Alone, i listen TO the feet,
That in continuous stream
Pursue each other on the street
And mingle with my dream.
None Of them stop, with swirl desire,
To enter At my door;
trim my lamp and stir my FIRE
Fer homevard feet no more
Yet, with a trick of listening,
Caught long and long ago,
seem 10 hear the welcome ring
OF scIae / used TO know.
whese are they wandering tonight:
What breadth of land and sea
Lies dim and empty Of delight
BetwiNt my love and me?
Perchance. with green earth overspread
He sleeps a dreamless sleep,
Or tossing waves above his head
Their ceaseless murmur keep.
Never an echo from his heart
Has found its way TO mine;
Yet, as the red Goals drop apart,
With shifting gloom and shine.
His face tCks through the dancing fire,
Wild dreams dance through my brain,
He comes with all the old desire
And clasps me close againI
o vision sweet, that day dispelsi
lift could truly be.
No creature on the round earth dwells
That might not envy me.

A thought too vain 10 last?

The Cost of Love.

lone of the worst things we have to
contend with in our business, SO far as
our unmarried male and female em-
ployees are concerned" said a dry
goods man. ''is love. When young
lady, say in the hosiery department
falls In love with nice young man IN
the dress goods department, or any
other departments, for that matter
there is trouble ahead for the employers.
II the young man should happen to
return the young lady's affection the
trouble is doubled. How does tins
make any difference to us2 Well, in
nine cases out of ten the tender passion
units It's victims for work in the same
dry goods store. This is especially so
in the case of the young ladies. Once
they get in love with a young man at
another counter their minds, instead of
being at their own counters, are con-
tinually at the young mans counter.
The result of this is that the love-smit-
ten maid is absent-minded and inatten-
tive to business. L have seen many a
bright young woman who was very
valuable to us become utterly worthless
behind her counter simply because she
got to thinking more of gOod-loOking
young man at some other counter than
she did of our business"
Its the same way with the young
men, too. When they get too far gone
there is only one thing left for us TO do,
and that is TO discharge them and fill
their places. i confess | always regret
to take this step, and l never do it
unless in self-defense- But when the
trouble reaches a certain stage there Is
no alternative. OF course We go about
1t in a roundabout way, and never give
the real cause for dispensing with their
services -
