Mrs. X. B. Hayes died at her home in
Fremont, Ohio, on Friday, after a brief
illness. In many respects she was one of
the most notable women who has ever

Genuine Boston FrugaIIty.

A laughable story is told at the ex-
pense Of Boston gentleman, who came
with party of excursionists to the
coast. When the Bostonian had been
duly busted, and all traces of travel
carefully removed from his immaculate
oroadcloth and shining beaver, he
turned to the affable porter with a
benign smile, and vouchsafed: "WeH,
l suppose you want something for your
trouble" and, drawing out his portly
wallet, he took therefrom two bright
new pennies, and with the air of a man
who was doing rather more than was
expected of him, or the occasion de-
manded, presented them to the porter.
A look of puzzled establishment over
spread the features of the African, as
nothing smaller than the five-cent nickel
ciycaiates here; but as soon as he re-
Gstued speech he passed them back
with the remark: 1--WE has no use for
them here, sahr' co." replied the
frugal New Highlander, keep them,

She Made Her TaiIor weep

Quite recently it happened that lady
Gho was disappointed in the fit of an ex-
Sepsiye tailor made garment took it back
b The little man that made it and rather
yoquently berated him for the errors
! hich were only too patent in the cut.
instead of attempting to persuade her to
the contrary, the unhappy tailor burst
into tears, and, throwing himself down
on chair, admitted, with many sobs,
that it was all wrong. Here was COM
lcal situation. The lady knew not what
to say, while the little Frenchman. whose
ski1 had been acknowledged in many di.
Cections, cried Ike worn out woman.
He said, with much truth and not little
patSos. that the ladies had become so
very particular he could no longer please
them; that he had made jackets and
dresses and mistakes for them always,
out now he could bear no more. A heart
Of steel would have melted at this outburst
Of nerves." and this lady, who is full of
sympathy, forgot her own grievance in
the effort to comfort and console him.
After an hours hard work he became
somewhat composed, and, it is hoped, en-
eouraged for the future by her friendly
and disinterested advice. She says, how
ever, that it will be long time before
she RECEIVERS from the altogether novel
sensation of apologizing for what was not
bel own fault.-Boston Herald.

Ep7tome Of Ameriean Histery.


When Mr.. Sumner introduced the frn-
E1or&al resolution that nothing commem-
cratiVe of civil strife be introduced into
he national buildings and monuments,
Though the times were not ripe for the
great mans thought he worked his will
in the end by the force of public opinion.
Nothing of this kind would be tolerated in
the Capitol now, even, as the case is,
where it would be real boon to the artists
If they could go on and put few battles
and sieges in the frieZe of the rotunda. 1t
was determined to make this frieze an
epitOne of American history, as far as
could be, but it was not anticipated
that the history would give out before the
frieze got round. But such is the case.
The artists started off famously, used
up all about Columbus, the early history
of the colonies, the revolution, the scrim-
mage of 1912, and then began on the
Mexican war. But the space was large,
and eking out the history as they could,
there wasn't enough to go round. At last
tho point was reached where the civil war
began, and there was a great stretch of
wall before the other end of the frieze
could be ''jined." They had used up all
the history they could use, and they
couldn't make any more-and united
ounIfy WOu1u noC permit d ldLnIIy quarrel
% be perpetuated-so there stands the
workmen's scaffold, way up against the
ceiling of the rotunda, suggesting the
pleasing fiction that the work is still going
on. The artists and the architect con-
cluded it would look better to let the scat
fold stay, so that people wouldn't poke
fun at them for the awkward predicament
In which the paucity of national history
mas left them, than to take it down and
puzzle folks by the sight of an unfinished
srieze upon which work had been stopped.

the child does not understand every
thing. The aunt is single. but she does
not hope to be so long, although judg-

An Excsl mt illustration OF Grssping,
Close -fisted Temper.
In every country town there are at
least one or two men OF bad repute for
greed iness. They always insist upon
all that belongs To them, and, II pos
sible, a little more. No one ever gets
the better OF them In a trade. or IT, by
chance. such thing does happen. IL is
IA bit OF good fortune upon which tho
entire community congratuatos itself.
They get all they can, aud they keep
all they get; and with all the rest they
get and keep bad uamo. The people
OF Japan know them. and have story
TO illustrate their grhsping, close-fisted
temper.
There was oncc grand wedding.
and among the guests was one old gem
tleman who did not partako OF the good
cheer with the rest.
Cant get something for youP'
asked the host perhaps you would
eat some candy"
SO saying, he brought a beautifully
decorated Jar nearly full OF sugar
plums. The old man took the jar ON
his knees. and put In his hand for some
candy. Though the mouth OF the Jar
seemed n little sEall. he forced his
hand without much difficulty. When,
however. he tried TO pull it out again
it stuck fast. lie pulled aud twisted,
but all in vain. the hand would not
come out
The person who sat next the old man,
seeing that something was out OF the
way. inquired: What is the matterPn
"Oh, nothing, nothing Of any consc-
quence; only my hand has somehow
got caught in this jar, and won't come
out"
That is too bad" said the other,
',just let me take hold OF the jar. and
then II you pull hard, you will get
free"
So, while the old man tried To pull
out his hand. the other tuggcd away
in the opposite direction. Tho rost Of
the company were convulscd with
laughter, rs they saw the eXortions Of
the two men. whom they jokingly
compared 10 two struggling warriors.
To the old man IL was no laughing
matter at hurts nwfully, and doesn't
start at ALL" he said. with the tears
rolling down his checks.
The company now stopped making
fun, for the affair was getting serious
Finally one of the guests said: Don't
make so great an ado over the matter.
! remember the famous story OF Shiba
Onka VINO. when n child. was one day
playing with several OF his compan-
ions near big jar filed with water.
"One OF the boys gho climbed up on
this slipped and fell in. The other
children, with the exception Of Shiba
Onko ran Oft in fright; but he picked
up large stone and threw IL agninst
the jar, which broke, and Let out both
the water and the boy. ] will take
the part Of Shiba Ouko. and though IL
is great pity 10 destroy H., the beau
tiful Jar is not so valuable as our
friends hand"
The old man stretched out his arm.
and the other struck the jar. The candy
went scattering like snow over the
mats, and The old man was set free.
And now. when they came TO look No
his hand. The reason why he could not
get IL out wns evident. The greedy
fellow had gra-pcd u big handful Of
candy, TO which he had held fast all
