A popcorn vender on one OF the streets
near the junction is turning n pretty
penny, while it seems that another en-.
gagged in the same trade is not doing SC
well. A daily patron of tho successful
merchant, after buying his sack OF corn
yesterday, asked:
why is it hat you don't keep one
standi Yesterday you were nearly two
blocks down the street, and the day be-
fore you were Mt some other place. Why
don't you get one place and keep it, and
you will have q regular customT'
The Italian responded after persuasion:
mo regular custouas. People a-buya
when da tink of it. Passa one man and
buya of anotha. Seea Mericana down
street? He popa COR slow, cause no
body buy. Wind blows from him to
me. Mana passa him comm up street,
smell popcorn and tink he lika buy, but
no time goa back. Den he seea me ana
buy. Mana goin' down street smell de
corn before he reacha me, stopa ana buy.
Tomorrow maybe wind blowa other
way. Ia go below otha man. Him

AT the open air soirees in the Ala
media on n bright Sunday morning
may be seen the best examples of the
beauty Of Mexico. The national
types are then wi in full force and one
can see faces of all colors, from tawny
rose or olive to white, and then de-
scending in tho scale, from rose TO a
deep nut brown. The ladies OF higher
caste. that is TO say, of pure Spanish
blood. are white, and removed from
this white by one degree you see a tinted
fac and so on until it reaches the
dark brown of the pure Indian, in
whose veins flows not a drop of Span
ish blood, a fact to which they point
with a great deal of pride. 1t may
not be generally known, but il is true
that 4 Spaniard is held in greater con.
tempt by a Mexican than IS any other
foreigner. To call a Mexican Spanish
is TO insult him, and in spite of his &C
customed courtesy he will tell you
of it. To call a Spaniard Mexican is
TO commit an objectionable breach of
good manners. While it is the desire
and purpose of every Mexican woman
TO be as white as possible, yet there is
no color line drawn here. A woman
may be as dark as bronze and yet en-

The ohisei Wa. Too Wide.

There is a proverb about biting your
own nose off to spite your face; but here
is an instance of cutting off one's toes to
spite ones corn. Several years ago,
says The Pittsfield Advertiser, "a Pitts.
field man becoming angry at the pain
caused by n corn OF one of his toes pull.
ed of his boot and hose, took a chisel
and cut the toe off. The chisel happened
to be wider than was necessary, so more
toes were cut off than he was really par.
ticular about. The man then walked
through the dusty street, with the
wounded foot bare and bleeding, some
distance to n surgeons, where the in.
juries received attention" That fellows
temper must have been worse than his

The Old Tow Path.

at is not generally known, but you
will find mention of it in the old deeds
Of the common town lots, " said an old
citizen as The Man About Town ac-
cepted a cigar, that during the Span.
ish ownership here there was a tow
path all along the river front which
vas free 10 every one. Under the
Spanish law all river banks were free
and were public highways, so that no
man could own to the waters edge.
When the lots on the river were taken
up each man who took one was com
PEELED to leave forty feet for the high
why. and any vessel had a right to
land and unload where it chose. This
highway was called in olden times
the tow" because often RATS and
vessels were towed along by mules
drawing them from the bank. When
a bill was introduced in the Missouri
Legislature in 1872, or Whereabouts,
empowering the cities on the bank TO
charge for wharfage there was a big
howl from vessel owners, and Gen.
Roster of Ste. G%enevieve made n pow
erful argument against the bill, but il
went through. 1t was repealed, but
again enacted, and it is now on the
statute book. You will find in the
deeds Of the old common town lots
the expression, with the exception OF
the tow" which was religiously kept
free by the Spanish and French resi-.
dents.-St Louis Republic.

The eyes are the one redeeming fea-
ture of the Spanish face. 1t is impossi.
BILE to describe these dark, luminous orbs,
full Of a dreamy soulfulness that make
them most disastrous things to encoun-
ter. Add to this a strong, arching eye
brow, long, curling black lashes, a per-
vading fire Of expression, and you have
a pair of glorious eyes hat vainly en-
deavor to convince N that high cheek
bones, thick or very thin lips, artfully
painted a deep carmine, and a lazy SEN
suous expression combine to form a beau
tful face.-Cor. Kansas City Times.

THE OFFICE BOY.

How He May Get Promoted and How He
May Get the Other Thing.
Are Office boys never promoted, them
Certainly. 1 have known several cases,
and will give a free translation of three.
/ wrote a note to a book house that ran
after this fashion:
Iwant you to try as a boy Fred - He ID
pluoky, means business, will not whine about pro
motion, will work as early and late as you wish,
will hold his tongue. and will earn 50 for every
one you pay him. de will be content with % a
week.
/ received this reply in substance:
Ihave no vacancy among the boys, but such a
boy as you mention will always pay twice over.
It was a loud commentator you gave him. II
you dare stand by 1t, send him along. I shall
Keep your Endorsement for ready reference.
Fred reported for work the next morn
Ing. He began at the bottom, sweeping,
busting, clearing up, taking away books,
carrying off waste paper, etc. In a
short time the store looked as it never
did before. he was the first there in
the morning and the last at night He
never asked what to do next, but found
something to do until new work was
assigned. He kept his mouth shut, his
eyes and ears open, and his feet and
thoughts active. The fifth week they
raised him to So and gave him work
above four other youths whom he found
there. At the end of four months he
was raised to S12 a week without ask
ing it.
Ben went from the high school into
an office at So a week. They told him
plainly that there was no probability of
promotion, as no boy had been promoted
for twelve years, but there was a posi-
bility. There was nothing about him
that was promising. He had not stood
high in school, wal not a good penmun,
was not strong physically; but he went
to work with the full determination that
he would get there"
A few days after the senior member OF
the firm saw him going to the postofice,
and was SO delighted with his evident
intent to boom the mail business that he
said to his associates: 81 wish there was
some way to label Ben This boy is from
the house Of - g. It is worth
something to have such an exhibition of
business on the street"
In the course of a few months another
boy was secured. and Ben was given SO,
until, in less than three years, he was
having $50 a week, making a place for
himself by the way he did everything.
In those three years a thousand other
boys in Boston had changed from place
to place, and were still working for So
or "a a week.
The boy who is merely an Office boy
will never be promoted, neither will he
who is above being an Office boy; who is
lazy, Indifferent, laxative, sulky, moody,
meddlesome, envious, jealous, afraid OF
doing more than his share, and bound
not to earn more than he is paid for. BE
will be promoted who makes himself
equal to every emergency; who loves
work, learns how to work, how to be
cheerful and loyal, lending a hand every
where; who puts brains into his work;
who let's his "head say his heels;" who
will work anywhere, at any time, at any.

A SONG OF HOPE.

Sunny days are fleeing,
Happy hearts are beating,
Smiling lips repeating:
How cheerful is this EARTH
Fearing not the morrow,
Seeking not to borrow
From another's sorrow
A damper for their mirtA-
But other hopes r dying,
And other hearts are signing,
And other lips are crying:
"Oh, welcome, tardy DEATH
Our life is but a bubble;
Our lot Is pain and trouble;
We've gathered only stubbla,
And felt the tempest's BREATH
Alasi some lives are fearful,
And others bright and cheerful
But be not sad nor fearful,
For heaven Is just and fair.
The miser dies for treasure,
The monarch ices no leisure,
And they who seek but pleasure
Soon find that castle air.
And they whom life Expresses
Find heaven doubly blesses
And soothes their sad d-istresses,
And all will rightly prove.
For heavens smile is DER US
And heavens bow before US,
So Join the mighty chorus
OF praise. For God is love.

If Gov. Merriam had realized what he was

them himself. Statements of people with

to give something that looked like an excuse
for the change, SO he fired off this political
hostility business. Had no one wanted my
position, there would have been no political

West Side Notations.

An interesting foot race occurred last
evening, the participants starting at the
corner of State street and Fillmore ave-
hue and taking their course straight
away across country in the direction of
st. Louis. There were no stakes up,
except that the fellow VINO started
ahead. whose name is Martin Gooding,
had an overweening desire to live a
little longer, while Tim Hagan, the man
who was doing the stern chase racket,
was determined to annihilate Gooding
If the chase resulted in catch. After
run of something over mile, Good
ing became exhausted and turned at
bay. Hagan soon came up, and though
his intentions were good, his wind
departed to such an extent that he
was incapable of doing up his man as
he had intended. A few blows were
struck on both sides, when the men
were separated by bystanders and
taken to their respective quarters for a
rundown. The trouble first arose from
the refusal of Gooding to drink with the
man who chased him.
The call recently issued by the West
minister Presbyterian church to Rev.
George McAfee, of Manchester college,
has been accepted, and the new pastor
will assume the duties of his position
on Sunday, July Is. The acceptance Of
the call by the reverend gentleman
has given general satisfaction among
the members of the church, which has
been without resident pastor for more
than year.
