Recognition of Old Friends as They Enter

a well known officer on the retired
list of the navy about the odd way in
which old friends viii turn up. and
he related to the reporter what is a
unique experience in that line.
MY wife had been very much an

insisted on ringing the door bell Of
my house on All Halloween. came
home rather late in the evening to
find the whole house topsy -turvy.
When ! learned the cause of the

house and waited for some time. but
the boys did not come. Then stepped
out into the middle of the street and
started toward the corner looking for
them. 1t was not long before / came

know what he meant by ringing the
bell and annoying my wife. Of course
he said he hadn't touched my bell.
You're liar, said |, and | am going

more, and with that began to spank
him. He yelled murder, and his COM

came out of an adjoining house, and,
running over to the spot where we
stood, told me to let the boy alone.

" He is my son, she replied.
Then you ought to have done this

A Frequent Occurrence,

"The next time | give woman my
seat in car she will have to be old or
lame or have baby or bundle in her
arms, or look i'll, or be in a worse con-
dition than ordinary" said well known
politician. Il had a choice seat in a
Brooklyn elevated car few nights ago
A big crowd got in at one of the stations,
and / reluctantly surrendered my seat to
a healthy looking woman. l was dead
tired, and hung on to strap for sew
eral stations. Then the man who occu-
pied seat next to the woman who had
benefited by my courtesy vacated his
place Before l could wink, this woman,
for whose sake had stood up IN jerky
car for mile, pulled her callow escort,
who was evidently her son, into the va
cant seat. This same thing has hap
pened many times, but it will never hap
pen again to me."-New York Sun.

Cost of Incandescent Light.

Some instructive data concerning the
comparative cost of incandescent light
ing have been published. The average
cost of maintaining a sixteen candle
power lamp for twenty-four hours was
shown to be $50 cents. A careful study
of these data should be made by the
owner of every Office building. The total
yearly average cost per lamp in modern
Office building should not exceed 81, in

A HAPPY TRYsT.
wkh Madge the miller's daughter,
rT-l,;Io sorey birds were awning

wkh Madge the mfller's daughter,
While song birds were awning,
wandered mid the waving corn.
With its golden tasseling;
And down the crested hillside swept
The yellow sunlight's tide,
And OF the gray old world looked bright
As we walked side by side
With arm around her lissome waist,
WHISPERED words endearing;
And sweet and low her answer came
Almost too low for hearing;
And hide and seek the frolic winds
Play'd mid the rustling corn;
And o. our hearts with love were full
On that fair summer morn.
But ah, loves wings are very fleet,
And sweetest hours have ending;
Too soon we heard the old mills sails
Beneath their labor bending;
But long before we left the corn
My gentle Madge kist,
And o! me thought its tasseled sheaves
Had ne'er hid happier tryst.

A Pretty Little Scene.

A boy carrying large bouquet of
roses, some phlox, heliotrope and
pinks entered Cottage Grove avenue
car yesterday. Among the passengers
inside was little girl of possibly 6
years of age. The little one was as
pretty a blondinette as one can see.
and her wooden dress, spotlessly white,
set off her juvenile beauty perfectly.
Everybody was admiring the child
No sooner had the flower boy entered
than the car was filled with the per-
fume of the roses and heliotrope. The
little girl soon discovered it and quick
~ gave up her observation from the
car window. She approached her
mother and began teasing for some
of the flowers. Finally when she
found out that her mother could not
procure any of the much wished for
roses the child went right up to the
boy.
Twill 90 dive me tum howers9" she
asked.
The chances were nine to ten that
the boy wouldn't give any, But it was,
perhaps, because the little girl was so
sweetly charming that he detached a
couple of handsome red roses and
gave them to her. Triumphantly
she returned to her mother.
The roses were pinned to her
bosom At Twentieth street the boy
got off. Quickly the little girl jumped
on the seat. But it was on the wrong
side from that on which the boy was.
She jumped off, went to the other seat
and looked out OF tlc window. She
saw the boy, and he, noticing her
waved his hand. Then she, putting
her rosy fingers to her mouth, threw
him two, three kisses. 1t was so sweet
ly, gracefully done. Then she settled
down and inhaled her flowers. Chi
