'Miss Dimple Duer requests the pleasure CT
your company to dinner Oh Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
| next week. !"
Of course the invitation was accepted,
and the next Friday at recess the two little
/ girls were in great glee over card found
in Dimple's pocket, directed to Fan, in
gentlcman's bold hand: ''Mr Sidney Duer
Chat was papa requests the pleasure of
your company to dinner on Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Of
next week"
And every week different member of
the family sent Fan like invitation, until
she had been invited by each one, and then
Dimple's turn came again.
DO you think the four little Shoots en-
We'd Fan No; and I'll tell you why.
There was round woven basket on Mrs.
Duer's wardrobe shelf, which had belong
ed to her little Fanny now IN heaven. 1t
had been her lunch basket and the sight of
it made the mothers heart ache with
thinking of the bright face that used to
look back at her from the gate as the
little daughter tripped to school.
Bnt the first week Of Dimple's dinner
company the basket was taken down, and
filled from the table for Fan to carry
home to the little ones there She never
forgot to bring it back the next morning,
and it never failed to travel home with her
again the same day after school.
Mother said observant little Dimple
one night, from her cot in the corner, "ghat
makes yon look SO teary, sometimes, when
you are filling the brown basket for the
little Smoots %
The mother came over and kissed the
rosy face on the pillow. '.Dimple, she
said softly, II count them your little angel

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind heart
ed man as well as a great novelist. While
he was consul at Liverpool, young Yam
kce one day walked into his office. The
boy had left home to seek his fortune, but
evidently hadn't found it yet, although he
had crossed the sea in the search. Home
sick, friendless, nearly pennileSs, he want
ed a passage home. The clerk said Mr..
Hawthorne could not be seen, and intimat-
ed that the boy was no American, but was
trying to steal passage.
The boy stuck to his point, and the clerk
at last went to the inner room, and said to
Mr. Hawthorne:
'IIere's boy insists upon seeing you;
he says he's an American, but know he
isn't"
Hawthorne came out of his room and
looked kee,lly at the eager, ruddy face of
the boy.
s'You want passage to America

"And you say you're an American
eyes, sir.
''From what part Of America
'sUnited States, sir.
"What Statc?"
"New Hampshire, sir
Clown"
Exeter, sir. p"
Hawthorne looked at him for minute
before asking the next question.
.sWho sold the best apples in yonr
town.
"Skim.milk Folsom, sir, " said the boy,
with glistening eyes, as the familiar by
word brought up the dear old scenes oil

ART ON SAFE DOORS.
Half IA Dozen Artists In an odd Rust-
ness.

'sThere are more than 400 600 safes in
the United States, said Broadway man
nfaeturer to New York Star reporter
few days ago, ''and with a few EXCEPTIONS
their great iron doors are frightened with
| artistic designs in oil. The centre of the
safe painting trade is in this city Half a
dozen artists are engaged in the work.
They are all men who have left the private
studio and buried their identity for money.
''One man in particular was an artist of
recognized ability. His studio up town
was one of the finest in the city, Rich
draperies and costly bric-a-b rao were on
every hand. The floor was inlaid With
choice woods, and valuable specimens of
his handiwork greeted the visitor from the
walls. A tropical sun bursting through
fleeey clouds shone down from the ceiling
This man got good start from his father,
and, as | remarked, his ability was recog-
nized; but it didn't pan out in cash. When
he found customer for 800 painting he
lived in clover, and when the art mart was
drugged and pictures went slow he found
it hard work to make both ends meet.
I've made name, he said one day, but
the artist who lives on his name without
money can do more than | can.
"a week after that" continued the safe
manufacturer, she applied to me for work.
If you want to talk with him. come with
me-
The reporter went into the rear apart
ment and found their men at work One
was painting a scene in the CatskiIl's on
the cold, black front of 6,o0o pound safe
that was billed to be delivered within ten
days to a western manufacturer
Don't imagine" said the artist after
the introduction, ''that l have given up
ing out original studies, but my work goes
with the safe like the chrome with the
pound of tea. We paint two six by nine
landscapes in a day. Ordinarily one man
lays in the ground work, another fills in
the middle ground and a third adds the
fore ground We get up quite number
Of designs to order. On the inner doors of
that safe over there you will find good
painting OF the lower falls in the Genesee.
That picture is to please the fancy of a
| Rochester man who ordered it.
I'VE have several orders for the VoIun-
teer in oil Ii requires more time TO paint
wateiseapes and boats than anything else.
Every line Of Il crack yateh must be per-
feet or fault will be found with it. If
landscape happens to be little too red or
brown or green, we can account for it by
saying that the green painting shows the
scene 10 early spring and the brown in
midsummer and the red in autumn. That
of course, is one of the tricks of the
trade y
What do you consider the nature of
your work on safes -
sWe turn out work here, replied the
artist after moments reflection, that
would sell on canvass and with frames
around them for $50. When you are NOV
ing around here be particular to observe
the paintings ON safe doors and see IL you
don't agree with me. .

Wy OWN SHALL COME.

Serene hold my hands ana wait
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
rave no more 'gainst time nor fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
i stay my haste, | make delays,
For what ayails this eager pace?
| stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends | seek are seeking me;
Nor wind can drive my bark astny,
Nor change the tide of destiny
What matter if stand alone?
wait joy the coming years;
My heart Shall reap where il has sown,
And gather up its fruits and tears
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs ON yondor height
So flows the good with equal law,
Unto the soul OF pure delight
The flower nodding in the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee;
And, maiden, why that look unkind2
For 10! thy lover scckcth thee
The stars come nightly to The Sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea:
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.
