"Well, yes. Is the work hard I"
"On the contrary, it is very easy"
"Does your wife help2"
"a little"
"Does she hire the washing and
ironing, get supper when l am out
help me on bake days, and wait on
her own table ?"
"No, ma'am."
"Then | won't come"
"But the wages are SO per week."
Three dollars Why, thought
they were S.. Good afternoon, sir"
The next girl walked by the house
to size it up before she rang the bell.
The moment Mr.. Bowser set eyes on
her he knew that he had found a
daisy. She was whole prize pack
age and chrome thrown in. He
read timidity and bashfulness in her
character, and | heard him chuckle
as he said:
my dear girl, you came for the
place, presume :"
81 don't know. This is far out"
"But there is a street car line past
the door,"
"Do you run the kitchen p
81 am about to do So"
"Is your wife fool, or crazy
woman ?"
Neither one."
"She must be, and | don't want the
place. l think you are an old hen.
huzzy and a kicker, anyhow, and
don't want to work for such people.
Comforts Of home! You'd fire me
before | had sat down to the pianer
twice, and you look just like one Of
them shoddyites as object to eating
with the help. You'd better send out
West for a Chinaman."
Mr.. Bowser came in and got his
hat and skipped down town. When
he came up to supper | had a girl in
the kitchen, but he fought shy of say
ing word on the subject until next
morning. Then he swelled up and
observed
"Mrs. Bowser, | like to praise you
when you deserve it. l see you have
followed my advice on the girl ques-
tion. and you may consider yourself
praised. Read their character, treat
them as you should, and manage them
according to the laws of business, and
you will never have any trouble. -

House Of Lords.

Every now and then sonleb ody gets
up in the House of Commons and
moves that the House of Lords be
abolished. But their loraships sit Sc
rene|y in s'another place." as the Par
liamentary phrase is,and calmly refuses
to be abolished. The motion in the
Commons never amounts to anything.
but even it it did, there are grave rea-
sans for supposing that the House of
Lords would not lend It's distinguished
sanction to the bill. i
Every now and then the people them
selves take a hand in the matter and
are for the time abolitionjsts as far as
the Lords are concerned, but the only
outcome SO far has been that brilliant
Biblical misquotation inscribed On the
banner in a London procession-''The
Lords will Ee DONE"
The Lords. however, have not been
done, Sup TO date, nor are they likely to
be done for some time to come unless
the method for "a doing of 'em" is
changed.
1t is rather strange that hint for
The doing.orithe undoing of the Lords
shouldscom from a Lord himself and
from 7America at that. If the Lords
can be persuaded to follow the brilliant
example ofsLordiL Lonsdale the question
will be solved. His Lordship has just
started from Winnipeg for the North
Pole. Whatihe intends to DO with the
Pole whenEhe gets it is not stated, but
the factyremains that he is on the still
hunt tEforgthat celebrated natural pbe
nomenon.
1t isss an extraordinary ching that
man whoghassbeen in the cool City of
Winnipeg should yearn for the North
Pole. 1t would seem as if any barber
pole in that frozen capital ought to
have.satis6ed him. But lis the North
Pole or..nothing with Lonsdale and, as
the advertisements say, ''he won't be
happystill he gets there.''
Lord1Lonsddle's valet has returned
to Winnipeg, having left the the noble
man at Green Lake 1t seems that
they could not get dogs enough to
transport both. and SO the valet came
back.
This unfortunate circumstance adds
a additional terrors to tbs perilous ex-
peditjon. An Artic trip is bad enough
even at5the best but without q valet it
is something awful. All the sailors
to the frozen north have had Wallets and |
if his lordship succeeds in collaring the
Pole without the aid Of a valet, he will |
at once take his place at the very head |
of modern explorers.
The moral of all this is that those
opposed to the British Upper House
should endeavor TO get their Lordships
interested in the subject Of exploration.
Africa just yawns for liberal supply
IF noblemen, The South Pole has not
oeen as much in demand by pole con-
noisseurs, nor does it comand so high
price in the stock market, yet IS we'll
worth capturing and a dozen or two
1oblemen might be induced to start
after it. The North Pole can easily
;ake care of the remainder of the House

The executive committee Of the Sis
teGS Hospital fair met at Father Me-
Golrick's residence last Wednesday
syeujng. Father McGoIrick reported
that tho doctors felt unwilling to COM
pate for q set Of surgical instruments
OF anything else, the allopathics consid-
ecng such a proceeding contrary to pro-
.fessional etiquette. Father O'Reilly
reports that the Crusaders CT bis parish
would contest for the banner, aud other
members of the committee said the
same fcr che Crusaders OF the other
parishes. 2. II. Prendergast said the
Irish American club and the Hibernian
niiies would be the only competitors
FOR the Irish flag and that the military
organization would be assisted by the
four divisions Of the 4. o. III. From
The fact that the members OF the I. a.
c., has plenty of cash he anticipated a
very lively contest for tho flag. Father
James McGolcick was instructed to buy
the flag and banner Of Ben2iger Bro
hers, New York. when on his way to
Europe, and get them expressed to this
city. 1t was reported that The choir5 Of
She various churches would give CON-
certs on the evenings designated in a
former issue OF the STANDARD. On
motion Father James O'ReillY was
elected chairman of che executive COM
nlittee to take the place OF Father Nc
eJoirick. Mr.. M, w. Nash was elected
treasurer, and Mr.. 2. j. Moran, assist
ant treasurer, during the fair. The
committee on printing was authorized
to get out admission tickets in various
oolors for each evening Of the fajr and
to provide transparencies for illumina-
ling The outside of Harmonic hall. Mr..
Prend dergast and Mr. Labrash were ap-
pointed a committe to employ two
Watc}lnlen--cne for the day and one for
the night--duriDg the fair. Father
MEG olrick hopes that the fair would
move a financial success in his absence
and said Archbishop Ireland would in
terest himself in the work after his re-
turn from Washington. He reported
that Mr.. Albee Smith had presented
the ladies with a fine COW, and like the
Irlshman who won the elephant, they
were at a loss what to do with the bo-
vine, Prize tickets were distributed TO
those present, who promised to dispose
of them, and on motion the meeting
adjourned to assemble again on next

The Boy Again.

The conduct of some OF our boys as
reported from the base ball grounds was
very offensive and disgusting to the club.
The names of the guilty parties have
been withheld out of respect to the
parents. But again the report comes of
ungentlemanly conduct, noisy behavior
yes, rowdyism-at the Conservatory.
Our officers are becoming wearied of
giving advice to saucy young men who
do not seem to think they need any
instruction from anybody. Boys, the
actions of the officers may prove to
be more emphatic II further provoca-
ton is given, and for the sake OF your
own good name and that of your
relatives it is time to desist. Any more
of this behavior will surely get you into
trouble. An acquaintance with Mayor
Dawson or, worse still, with the station
house or stone pile, is certainly some-
thing very undesirable. A word to tho
wise is sufficient.
