Tell it if you want to, but if you, do, don't
for decency's sake say, ''don't tell" Some
women and men will unbosom themselves to
friend, will tell tale SO hair bleaching and
blood chilling that even to have listened to it
was proof of friendship most genuine and
most magnanimous. They will pour into
your unwilling ear all sorts of woes; personal
and otherwise, they will tell you things about
their private lives which they have no bust
ness to breathe, they will break the sanctity
Of the home, Of friendship, of everything that
should be sacred; and then after laying bare
The inmost secret of the most secret places,
they will look you in the face and in a threat
ening tone forbid you ever to ''breathe that
to living SOUL"
Colossal impertinence, 1 think this is. That
which the teller of the secret is not fine
enough, not strong enough, not brave enough
to keep to herself, she expects you to cherish
and guard for her; and to hold close to you1
breast the very things she carelessly filings to
The breezes.
How can we expect that others will cher
Ssh what we ourselves hold lightlys Keep it
70 yourself, tell you, or trust in the friend
IN whom you confde, and don't insult her by
asking her not to ten.-Louise NJ. in Toledo

Inc Baby and the Dollar.

A poorly clad woman holding a baby on
her arm entered a crowded Myrtle avenue
surface car yesterday and looked about her
for seat. The baby held in its chubby fist
big silver dollar, and as the baby was chew
ing on it vigorously while its mother was
looking for a seat every woman i'll the car
knew instantly that the baby was teething.
Its mother got seat finally, and the passen-
gers got interested in the baby and the silver
dollar. For minute nearly the whole of the
coin was in the baby's mouth, when sudden
ly, with gasp and with watering eyes, the
pudgy fist pulled out the dollar from the
puckery orifce and waved the money reck-
lessly in the face of an eldasly lady along
side
This performance was repSgAed again and
again, and when the elderly lady seemed
about to make some demonstration of disap-
proval the baby's arm waved toward the
window and the silver dollar dropped from
| its fingers into the space between the car
| window and the seat and struck the floor of
the car with PUNK. Under the front of the
long seat the space was boarded up and the
coin could not be reached.
sob, baby" said the mother, with her
voice in a tremble.
you'd better go to the end of the line,
mum, to get your money" said the conduc-
tor The woman said she had to get off with
in block to get a washing. Several men
who had been listening Strengthened them
selves out and began to work their hands
down into their trousers pockets, and one
man whispered to another that collection
should be taken up.
Finally the conductor said if the passen-
gers didn't mind disturbing themselves he
would get the money. So everybody sitting
on the side of the car where the dollar was
lost got up, and the conductor pulled out the
entire seat, reached behind it, got the coin,
gave it to the mother, and, after good deal
of difficulty with the seat, pushed it back,
and the passengers sat down.
The mother said thank you, as she passed
out of the car, and the baby grabbed the dol
lar and was biting it for business when she
disappeared-New York Sun.

Chinese Wisdom.

Forbearance is attended with profit.
The straightest trees are the first felled.
Life is journey, and death a return home.
Causeless anger resembles waves without

NIT one.
The loftiest building arises from small &C.

A disconnected man is like snake who

Kind feeling may be paid with kind feel

Hear both sides and all will be clear; hear

While silent consider your own faults, and
while speaking spare those of others.
The house wherein learning abounds will
rise; that in which pleasure prevails will fall.

The people are the roots of the state; if the
roots are hourishing the state will endure.
The wisest must in thousand times be

To be fully fed and warmly clothed, and to
dwell at ease, without learning, is little better
than bestial state.

Infested with Rats.

Beams Island, an uninhabited piece of land
lying in Frenchman's bay, off the coast of
Maine, would be a paradise for cats. 1t is
infested with rats, and how they reached
there no one can tell. 1t is the general sup
position that some years ago a coasting
schooner must have been wrecked in the bay,
and that it had rats among the other valuable
portions of its cargo. The rodents are there
by thousands, and they fairly swarm over
the island. Any one who is not fond of them
does well in giving the place a wide berth,
for they know no fear and make it interest
ing for visitors. Much Of the island is low
and fat and is SO perforated with their holes
that it resembles a vast sieve. How they live
is a mystery. No one knows of any fresh
water upon the island, SO the rats must have
been the sole discoverers of some hidden
spring. Exchange.

"Wen, l hope nothing will happen, but
Pm very, very nervous. Would you mind
asking the conductor if we are likely to have
collision, go through bridge or get in an

And the gallant old man, who saw such a
great difference between the woman travel

into his shell looking as if something had
rubbed against his placidity of mind.-New

WITH sUPpLEME Mt.

THE centennial celebration at New
York of the inauguration of George
Washington there on April 30th, 1899,
was the most imposing ever seen in this
great country of 65,000,000 inhabitants.
The streets were decorated with gar
lands OF flowers and bunting and the en-
tire city was in holiday attire. Hon,
Chauncey NJ. Depew was the orator OF
the occasion and did the spread eagle
business, while Harrison was let oil with
a five-minute address, which was both
pointed and sensible. The procession
numbered 10000 and the jam was terri
fic, more than million OF visitors being
in the city. Kentucky was represented
by Gov. Buckner. Gen. John Il. Castle
man, Gen. 5. +. Hill, Col. +. Polk John
son and 40 State Guards, whose appear
ance was most creditable to the State. II
took Washington six days in his carriage
TO reach Elizabeth. y. j., from his Mt.
Vernon home, 100 years ago. Harrison
and his party in the finest train OF pal
ace cars ever run made the trip in exact
" six hours. and then i'm order to follow
as near as possible the course OF the faith
er OF his country, the party took steam /.
ships ior New York, with hundreds OF .
vessels acting as escort. A centennial I
ball was given at which the chief fea.
ture was an ovation to Mrs. Cleveland,
who received more attention than Mrs.
Harrison, notwithstanding that lady is
now the first of the land. His iraudu
lency, X. B. Hayes, was present at the
but he would have been bet
ter occupied had he remained in Ohio
and attended to his poultry. 1t was
enough to bring back the blush OF shame
to every patriotic man to recall by his
presence that this imposter had illedt the
place, or rather held it, that Washington
dignified. Should the country progress ,
at the same rate for the next 100 years |
as it has in the last, there is no limit to |
our possibilities, and when the second |
is celebrated may it be under !
As favorable and as suspicious circum- {
stances as the one just closed.

A PART OF the centennial programme
was an hours worship" in 81. Paul's
church, where Washington sought di-
vine guidance on the morning he was In
augurated. Harrison occupied the same
pew that his illustrious predecessor did
hundred years before. The country
has made rapid strides in every branch
of commercial and mechanical progress,
but the sight of the little man was proof
conclusive that il has progressed back
wards in the character of men out OF
which il makes presidents.

THE newspapers that are abusing Or
tons Wild Yves; show just because it
failed to advertise with them show n
very petty spirit and exhibit spite that
they ought to be above displaying. Ii a
man does not think he gets his moneys
worth by advertising with us we would
not have him make the outlay. OF

than any one else, buta man must be
his own judge about whether it pays to
