In spite Of the enormously high wages they
pay, the Americans have 50 much trouble in
getting good servants, that numbers of them
are, so to speak, driven from their homes and
obliged to take refuge In hotels and apart
ment houses
Negro ones are the only ones at all deferen-
tai IN manner, or who have a smile on their
faces from time to time; but many people
have an objection to them, and charge them
with serious faults, such as finding things
which arc not lost, and breaking the monot-
ony Of life by dressing up in their employers
raiment when occasion offers
An American of my acquaintance, upon
going to his room one evening to dress for a
dinner party, found his dress coat and whist
coat missing from the wardrobe. Guessing
their whereabouts, no went upstairs, and
there, in his negro buffers room, were the
missing garments.
He rang for the culprit.

to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels IN any other b nnch OF his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for M the day

condemned the victims of folly or crime. like

Mrs. Madeline Vinton Dahlgren writes
q strong letter to the World from
Washington, in which she insists that
culture, and not the display of wealth,
should be the controlling element of
the social entertainments. She says
that the brilliancy of an entertainment
does not consist in the flash of electrict
lights, in terrapin or champagne, in
immense suits of deliberately decorated
apartments, or in the sheen of satin
and tue sparkle of diamonds. People
of taste will readily agree with the lady
and wish great success to the effort she
makes to reform the vulgar abuses she
shows up to apprehension. In the same
article she remarks: eve have FORUM
ately escaped the paralEzing effects of
an inkerited aristocracy." But does
she not believe that the tendency of
wealthy American families is to get as
close as possible to the foreign nobility
by matrimonial alliances? And is not
that tendency tacit admission that
Americans can acquire good social
standing GnH by admixture with the
European blue bloods?-Texas Sift-

A Wonderful Feat.

Colonel Dick Wintersmith listened
with apparent good-natured disgust to
some of the snake stories which the
youngsters were trying to crowd down
his throat the other evening at Cham
berlain's, says the Dallas News. AS
yarn after yarn was unwound by the
enterprising narrators the Colonel
seemed to get restless, until finally he
broke out with:
That's all right, boys, but the
trouble with your snake stories is they
are not"
well, suppose you tell us one that is
absolutely true" suggested one of the
company.
Il WILL" said the Colonel, promptly.
And then "Dick'' told how he found
himself travelling one hot summer
afternoon along a cart road cut
through what seemed miles OF
chaparral, somewhere in Texas, 1 be-
lieve. Suddenly his pony stopped, and
he was nearly thrown over the animals
head. II got off," Colonel Winter
smith went on to say, Cooked about to
see what the trouble was, and soon

his tail in the gutter ON the other.

Here the Colonel took long breath
and something else besides. The COM

After that nothing remained for the

A Dissatisfied Nah,


Never give away to discomfort, no
matter what your status in life may be.
Not surer or more certain does oxygen
eat away iron than will discomfort
weaken the mental and physical forces,
often causing premature death.
Be cheerful always. If in misery and
pain remember that it is a long lane
that has no turning, and that when you
do get to that turn you will be out Of
your trouble.
When the Gar ST siae Is carrying you
a!o4.g smoothly over the road of life,
don't borrow trouble. 1t don't pay the
interest on the investment. On the
contrary, the interest you pay is ex-
orbiant, and may consume you before
you can take up your note,
1t is astonishing Rew much tat al
even, SuAny tempered man will put on
his skeleton in the course of a life
time.
A disconnected man is Stunned by
all, while a cOntented one becomes 4
magnet of attraction, around which
everything, that has life in it gathers
just for the fun Of hearing him laugh
and barrow a little of his sunshine.
A discontinued man never makes Il
hearty meal. 1t isn't in him. He
would rather be plagued with the dys-
pepsia any day than say grace over Il
fat turkey, while your ioVial friend will
tackel with joy dinner of herbs.
Whatever you are called on to do, dc
it cheerfully. Take the world easy; SO
shall you go down to your tomb with Il
streak OF sunshine on your composition,
and not before you have lived hall
your days, as is the case with the
chronic grumbler. Texas Siftings.
