She Looked Distinguished.

Newsboys naturally develop a quick
ness at reading faces as well as a free
dom in asking and answering questions.
One of this class was peddling his
wares in a railway train and in pass
ing back and forth was struck with the
appearance of woman. She looked
distinguished, and as he dumped his
paper-covered novels into the laps of
the other passengers, he passed her
by.
At last his curiosity got the better
of all other considerations. He found
among his books one by Mrs. Stowe,
and on his next trip he proffered ii to
the very dignified lady, but she de-
clined it.

The stranger shook her head and dis
claimed the compliment. The boy
went down the aisle, but on his return
he stopped again.
"Then perhaps you're Mrs. Stanton ?"
The woman smiled, and again shook
her head. But the newsboy was not to
be batiled.
Would You mind telling me who you
are, ma'am?"
IT is not likely that the fellow was
much the wiser when the woman gave

In company with Milward Adams, n
reporter made partial tour of the
Auditorium. The impression created
was that there is more room in the
building than there is outdoors. That
is the only serious objection to the
structure
Did You ever stand on the twentieth
story of building ?" asked Mr.. Adams.
No; of course not, for the simple
reason that such buildings exist only
in the Imagination of aspiring archi-
tects."

$50 feet without difficulty on an elya-

tenth floor was reached. The next

is great building of itself. 1t would
compare favorably with the best
structures in New York City Each of
the seven floors of the tower proper
has from six to ten large rooms. On
the seventeenth floor are the rooms re-
served for the Signal Service. In fact,
the weather sharps have rented the

Building, and are now fitting up the
best appointed signal office in the
country.

thirteen inches long, six inches thick,
and eight inches wide on top of the
long, square tower, which commands a
view of every part of the city. The
ceremony was both elaborate and
unique, and it was witnessed by a
crowd of people that blocked every
avenue leading to the great structure.
The street demonstration preceding
the laying of the stone was notable

the leading Masonic bodies of Illinois.

Fall Care Of Shrubs.

1t is mistake to let shrubs go with
out attention during the summer, and
growing season. Then it is that they
should be brought into good shape, for,
by watching them IA growth is made,
one can see whore pruning and train
ing is required and the necessary work
can be done at just the time when it
will do the most good, for shrubs are
more tractable while forming branches
than they are afterward. If you allow
a shrub TO grow to suit itself all sum-
mer, and attempt to rectify what you
consider its mistake in fall you will
find that great deal of summer
growth NAV have to be removed to
secure anything like symmetrical shape,
and of course these surplus branches
indicate a good deal of summer growth
which has been wasted so much of
the vitality of the plant as was taken
to produce them has been expended USE
lessly; proper attention at the proper
time would have thrown this energy
into the shrub.
But we must take things as we find
them, and fall finds most shrubs in
need of judicious pruning, if we
would have them take on a shapely
form. Therefore when getting ready
to give them the winter protection,
which most of them require to a greater
or lesser extent, give them a good
pruning, and make them symmetrical.
1t is we'll to do this before the coming
of cold weather, so that the fresh cuts
on the limbs will have q little chance
to heal or at least dry over before they
are laid down and covered. -Eten Il.

New York and Philadelphia have
nothing TO offer in rivalry to it. 1t is
the most typical building yet erected
of the greatness, progress and civiliza-
ton of America. No provincial city
could have been the seat of it. 1t is
at once triumph and proof of Amer
lean daring and enterprise and gener-
Gus public spirit. Europe has no thea
ter, opera house, or hall to match it,
either in magnitude or result. Yet
great as is the Auditorium, it is not
half of the real glory of the building.
The vast hotel, with its five hundred
rooms, and the large store-rooms, all
add TO the greatness and wonder of it
all. Chicago itself has yet no idea of
the reason Cor pride it has in this build
ing. The genius and daring of its
builders have given in this enterprise
the crown to all of Chicago's greatness.
1t will stand for hundreds of years,

toric hall of America, for in it is sure
to be held the most famous of all
American gatherings hereafter.

She Painted Her Iips,

A very funny incident happened at
reception where a bright woman,
who was out for the first time after a
long illness, was the victim. Just be-
fore she left home some one said that
she had better put some coloi on her
lips, as they looked perfectly blue. a
serpent in the shape of charming
girl offered her mixture-one of car
mine and glycerine-which, if any is
to be used, is most desirable: and she
carefully painted the invalid's mouth,
putting the most color IN the center,
TO give il the desired rosebud effect.
The newly painted was warned that
she could eat or drink anything cold,
but of anything hot she was to beware.
Remembering this, she declined going
into the supper-room, and was the
center of a group of men, and having
the largest kind of time, when an
imp of darkness In the form of foot
man came along with tray on which
were cups of coffee and glasses of
punch. Without n thought the layde
faire took a cup of the coffee; she
slipped it slowly, and then, horror of
horrors, made bad worse by wiping her
mouth on a tiny napkin which had
been given her. She saw surprise on
the faces of some of the men. One
glance at the damask in her hand told
her what was the natter, and with
providential presence of mind she put
it up to her lips again, leaned on the
man nearest TO her, whispered in
muffled tones that she was i'll and
must go home. Out of the drawing
room, she quickly got on her wraps.
and when she was helped to her car
riage the man who had been her stand
by could not resist telling her that he
was sure she must he i'll, because her
lips had grown so pale. However,
the men were good fellows, and they
never told of her, but she swore by
every one of the Buddhist gods and
all of the Chinese devils that she'd
submit to green lips before she'd get
into such a fix again.

A Minister'S Peruuisites.

The perquisites of a minister's life
are, as a general thing, overestimated.
An old clergyman firmly believed this
who had received a call to a small
church from his much larger parish in
Massachusetts,. A delegation from the
church was sent to urge him to accept
the call. He asked them what the
salary was. They replied that it was
about six hundred dollars per year,
but that the people we're very gener-
ous, and were continually bringing in
Sl.ings TO the minister.
We'll" answered the old minister.
Il don't wish to offend you, but / must
positively decline. And now let me
give you a bit of my experience. In
my younger days 1 received call TO a
small parish where, as in the case with
your people, they were very liberal. 1t
was their custom TO always give the
minister ball of butter whenever they
churned, and a quarter of veal when
they slaughtered. / accepted the call.
Things went along as they represented
during the first year. After that there
began to be a falling off in their dona-
tons, until soon l received next to
nothing. / began to make inquiries
One of my parishioners told me that L
gave perfect satisfaction, but the peo-
pie had begun to raise their calves
And 1T has been my experience, con-
tinued the old minister, "that donating
pensioners soon begin to raise their
calves. ,"

ator at W. / couldn't help that. !"
He kept on in this way until nearly
morning whep he at last sank into a
deep sleep of exhaustion. He next APP
peared on the street at the end of three
weeks. He left town the same day.
He was brave, though. To this day he
