A Youthful Head Waiter.

Springfield, Mo-, makes boast of hav- ing the youngest head waiter in the country, and the boast is probably well founded. Travellers who put up at the Ozark House for the first time frequently stop to stare in amazement when, on en- tering the dining room, they see hand some, light haired, blue-eyed boy stand ing near the centre of the room ready to place them at table. It is dignifed youngster, dressed in long trousers, a closely buttoned sack coat, and wearing a standup collar of the latest style. A single bright-colored flower of some sort is always pinned to his coat lapel. As each guest enters the lad bows politely, draws chair from table and assists the guests to sit down with as much ease and grace as one can find anywhere. If not hurried by rush of guests he places the bill of fare by the plate and pours glass of water. Then one of the seven young
 
 with bow to take the order.
 All through the meal he has keen eye for everything in the room. No guest need drum on glass Ca common Missouri hotel habit to attract waiter here. The lad sees that something is wanted about as quick as the want is de- | veloped and if the waiter does not see it l also a wave of the hand or bow attracts her attention. The look in the lads face when he thinks waiter somewhat toe attentive to any guest is comically severe but effective in recalling the young woman to her duty.
 The name of the young man is Louis Leysaht, Jr. His father is master me. chanic of the Frisco line machine shops at this place. The boy is IA years old He began work at the Ozark two years ago as bell boy. Then he entered tho dining room to assist the head waiter Two months ago he had developed SC much tact in the management of thu room that he supplanted his chief. I'm dining room has eleven tables Tn it an6 thirty-six guests are often seated at then at once. Louis gets $15 month an6 board for his services.-[ New York Sun

She refused to leave the dis abled vessel until the last boat was launched, and she and her husband were the last to leave the Kearney. This brave girl was an American, and as gritty as American girls generally are.

The diamonds in the gloomy mine, And those upon the sovereign's crest With most unequal brilliance shine. So gems of thought and wisdom rest
