showed such signs of pleasure that John got
even more mad than he had been heretofore.
But he was powerless. The soldiers took
him outside and told him not to show his
painted vissge around the Kings palace
any more.
So poor John, the barber, had to 90 and
there never was a more disheartened man IN
the world than he was. He resolved to go
away and drown himself, because his life
was failure, he thought. When he came
outside of the city gates he met a very old
and ugly looking woman, and as John no.
ticed her, he said: "Well, that woman is
even uglier than amp So he spoke to her
and after while he mad told her all his
troubles. When the old crone heard his
story as to what the courtiers had done to
him, she said:
"NOw, is that all true what you tell
me?"
81 swear" solemnlv replied John.
"Well, then, come with me and will
help you," cried the old woman; 'for
know these courtiers came to me, and they
asked me for q liquid that would change
white into black, and l gave it to them.
Had they asked me for the liquid from the
fountain of everlasting youth and beauty 1
could have given them that too, but now
l will give it to you without asking me
for it."
Then the woman took small phial from
her pocket and sprinkled some of the
liquid it contained into Johns face, and
although he could not see the transforma-
ton his face was undergoing, he knew that
it was change for the better.
"Now go back to the court, said the old
woman, after she had sprinkled the LIQUID
into the barber's face, "and tell the King
that you have seen the witch from the en-
chanted wells, who sends him this phial
with liquid. Tell him also how your face
got black and who was the cause of it!''
With these words the witch wished John
good-by, and he ran quickly back to the
castle. This time nobody intercepted his
progress, because his face was as beautiful
as the countenance of Apollo. Arrived in
the Kings presence he told exactly what
had happened, and he also handed him the
phial the witch had sent him.
When the King heard the story his barber
told him he became very angry, because he
at once realized that be had very narrow
escape of having his face painted black. In
the ante-room he found the bottle which
John had received from the courtiers, so he
immediatel ly commanded them all to come
into his room. When all were there the
King told John, the barber, to go around
and put some of the liquid into everybody's
face. The barber did as he was bid. and in a
short while there was not courtier in that
room whose face was not coal black.
''Now go all out of nv sight, and let me
never hear of you again!" thundered the
King, "but remember for the future, that it
is bad thing to try and harm anybody, be-
cause you may harm yourselves worse"

90 and tell him that you had obtained this
from the fountain of youth and beauty your
self If you tell him that we did it. he
would not thank you for it."
"All right, gentlemen" John said, "I
understand you now, and L appreciate the
kindness of your wish. What will be the
effects of this wonderful liouid?"
at will make the King more beautiful
than any human being, and it will keep
him Youthful for everI'' they replied.
Then the barber departed toward the
Kings chamber. On his way he passed
through hall, the walls of which were
composed of very fine mirrors from the floor
to the ceiling. AS John looked into these
mirrors and observed his short nose, his
large mouth, his small eyes and his sallow
complexion, he suddenly thought, "why
should 1 not use some of this wonderful
LIQUID myself before 1 take it into the
King9 If it is good, it will be as beneficial
to me as to the King, and if it is not-well,
then will be able to tell the King of the
conspiracy of his courtiers against him and
thus get even with them for their trickeryW
This idea had no more than entered his
head when the barber at once set about its
execution. Before he went into the royal
chamber be slipped into small ante-room
and at once set about using the liquid from

attractive young man, doubtless, and
one gifted with many rare personal charms,
but L could not help thinking that my type
writer devoted altogether too much time to
him. Once heard her sniveling over her
work, because Joe had gone to the masque-
rade ball OF the Butchers Own" with an
other girl. At other times she had to go
away at o'clock to meet Joe, who was
coming with one of his friends, perfectly
elegant gentleman" and his ''lady friend"
10 accompany her to Coney Island. When
she wasn't thinking of Joe or making hor-
rloie mistakes with my copy, she was read
called "libry." 1t was thus that she de-
scribed greasy paper-covered volume from
circulating library bearing some title like
stainless, yet Free; or Welded to a Per-
feet Gentleman"
SOME KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY.
The girl was absolutely untitled for the
calling in which she had embarked. She
could not spell Bismarck correctly. The
fact accidently developed in one OF my ar
tlcles that the great Napoleon was native
OF Corsica, came upon her In the light of q
revelation, which was rendered more inter-
estlng by the subsequent discovery that the
island was not spelled with K. She could
not spell any proper names whatever, and
her knowledge of ordinary words of three
syllables was extremely limited. Withal,
she was so unreasonable that when sug-
gested to her the propriety of taking course
OF night school during the winter, she got
angry and left, declaring that she was not
obliged to work anyway. I believe she has
since found her proper level at the notion
counter at Macy's.

are not more than 80 thoroughly competent
women in the profession in New York, while
the demand for them is practically unlim-
tied. To young ladies who are considering
the advisability of becoming typewriters
here, would offer a few suggestions, and
confne myself entirely to the requirements
of men of my own profession, journalism.
To begin with, if you are going to work
for journalists or literary men, you will find
that any knowledge that you may happen
to possess will come in handy. So don't
leave any Of it behind you when you pack
your trunks to start for the city. You will
find Latin extremely useful and French
even more so. A general knowledge of
history, especially cotemporaneous, is abb
solutely essential. You should know the
names of people who are prominently before
the public, and be able to spell their names
VOlAOVtAJs AS0du Tile newspapers carefully
and familiarize yourselves with the names
and exploits of the great politicians, actors,
singers and writers of the present day. Re
member that Columbus discovered America,
and that Bismarck is spelled with k.
That there are two as in separate and two
p's ih opposite. That the names of the
singers at the Metropolitan Opera House
are in constant use and require a course of
study. That Russia is ruled by Gear, and
America, with somewhat less justice and
discretion, by the corporations and poll
ticians. Remember, 1 say, all these and
other facts of kindred interest and the
crown of glory may yet be yours.

usherel into room, where more court1ers
were assembled, who, upon observing the
barss' arrival, got up and Immediately
surrounded him. Then they closed the door
of the salon, and, while the rest were all
vrapt in silence, one Of them addressed the
barber in these words:
'tJohn, we are very proud of you for the
unselfsh devotion and the unwavering zeal
VIII Il you have constantly exercised in serv-
ing the King, our royal master, and we
have all come to the conclusion that, mas
much as it is chiefly your skill and un-
60 ,aled artistic superiority as a barber
which has caused the Kings face to be so
handsome and beautiful, we ought to show
you how deeply we are gratihed with your
work In short, we want to help you in
your duties, and thus have the King more
pleased with you than ever. For that rea-
son we have procured a bottle of liquid
which comes from the fountain of everlast-
ing youth and beauty, and we want you to
put that on His Majesty's face to-day after
YOU have shaved him."
The vain little barber, who during this
speech had nearly exploded with his own
importance. stood for a moment dumb
founded at the wonderful kindness of the
courtiers. He could not for the life of him
understand what they meant, because they
had hitherto been always very overbearing
toward him, and none of them had ever even
deigned to take the least notice of him. But
John was cute, and it very soon dawned
upon him that there was a dark scheme at
the bottom Of all this unexpected and spon-
taneous graciousness on the part of the
courtiers. However, ne thought it would
be wiser for him to be quiet for once in his
life and not say all he thought So he
turned toward the nobleman who had ad-
dressed him and replied:
''Your Lordship, am indeed very CRATE
ful for the great favor you have deigned to
shower uuon me. and will at once 90 and
tell the King of this wonderful liquid, and

''Oh, mol" they now answered in chorus;

SHERIDAN AT WEST POINT.
A DisObedIent Student Who Was Given One
More Chance.

A DisObedient Student Who Was Given One
More Chance.
Youths Companion.]
1t is good to give the bad boys another
chance. General Sheridan, when he was a
West Point cadet, committed an offense so
fagrant against the discipline of the school
that he afterward thought himself that it
ought not to have been forgiven. On
parade one day his sergeant, who was also a
cadet, ordered him to "dress," that is, to
stand in line with the rest of the company.
1t was proper order; but young Sheri-
dan. who had very fiery Irish temper, took
exception to the tone in which it was given,
and, in fact, was so incensed at it that he
rushed toward the sergeant with his bayonet
in his hand, intending to assault him. For
tunately, before he could accomplish his
purpose, his reason regained the upper
hand, and he returned to his place.
The sergeant reported the ofeuse, q pro-
ceeding which inhamed Sheridan's wrath
anew, and the next time he met the SER
geant he flew at him with his fists. They
fought until they were separated by an
officer.
Here was fearful breach of military dis
cipline, one which at most military acade-
mics would have been punished by dis
missal. But the officers, lenient toward the
earnest student of 20 years-'toO lenient,"
he thought-instead Of expelhng him gave
him another chance by rusticating him for
year. But for this the services of Sheri-
dan would have been lost to the country
during the late war, when his peculiar and
very great talents we're of inestimable
value.
His experience at West Point did not
lessen his sense of the necessity of disci-
pline. He knew when to forgive offenders,
and when to enforce military law. In his
"Memoirs" he tells us what he did with four
officers who displayed criminal cowardice at
the battle of Stones river.
when their guilt was clearly established,
and as soon as an opportunity occurred,
caused the whole division to be formed in a
hollow square, closed in mass, and had the
four officers marched to the center, where,
telling them that would not humiliate any
army officer or soldier bv requiring him to
touch their disgraced swords, 1 compelled
them to deliver theirs up to my colored
servant who also cut from their coats every
insignia of rank.
''Then, after there had been read to the
command an order from army headquarters
dismissing the four from the service. the
scene was brought to- close by drumming
the towards out of camp. It was a mortify-
ing spectacle, but from that day no officer
in that division ever abandoned his colors."
In the case of Cadet Sheridan, the authori-
ties at West Point we're the more inclined to
leniency because they saw in him the stuff
out of which good soldier is made-loVe of
his calling, and great energy in preparing
himself for it. Not few of the "bad boys"
at school are bad from having a little too
much of the vivacity and resolution that
conquer the world, which only need to be
rightly guided to bring them fame.
