Why Walters Look Nervous.
From the Chicago Journal.

/ have often meuitatedupon the indie
scribable air, speech and general APP
pearance of most of the men who act as
walters in downtown restaurants.
There is look of worthy wisdom about
them which could scarcely have been
derived from their present occupation
and The. opportunities afforded by IS a
week. They are not quite as ''spry" as
bartenders, and still they look as if they
had seen service. In what countries
and under what flag? | never knew
until | met man who sometimes used
to wait upon me. He was out of a job
and was leaning against the pillar Of a
theater. We walked as far as
Dearborn Street bridge, and |
induced him to cross. He told me that
he had been only six months out from
Yorkshire, England, and that he had
come West to go on farm, the business
he understood. He had to tie up as
waiter for the long winter, but when
spring came he dropped the dishes for
ever No, he didn't like it. Why was
it a tough business? The great major
ity of walters in restaurants spend most
of their time at gambling, and they
make it unpleasant for one who doesn't
join them. How can they gamble on So
a week? They do so, however they
manage it, and the way they have to live
while recovering from their losses ac-
counts for the nervous looks and the
sallow faces. That there is some truth
in this will be evident to any one who
has ever noticed the preoccupied air of
the man who honors you by taking your
order for another boiled potato.

That's not much like me - going

shovel snow for a breakfast, and like as
not having dog set on me.
But the rags, the hunger. the home
sickness-that part he could well unuel-
stand. AS the minister reiateu tne
homecoming of the penitent prodlgai,
John looked down upon his own la'hei
sitting there below, with his work-W9I:l
hands clasped over his cane, aha n,s
GRAY head bent. Would he give his son
such Il welcome II he came NOME III
poverty and rags?
John did not know; but something OF
pride and wilfulness and defiance III
his heart gave way. The home,ioNe
from which he had fled seemed all at
once the best thing in the world; ana
there in the dusty loft John laid down
his weapons of boyish rebellion.
Now the meeting was breaking up,
and the neighbors gathering IN clusters
for their usual chat before bidding each
other good night. The minister had
given them his benediction and gone.
For the first time John caught a
glimpse of his mothers face; HOW
worn and troubled it looked The boy
could hardly keep bac k cry to her TO
look at him, to speak TO MN before
she went away. But his father was say
ing:
"Mother, you'd better go right along
with Abner's folks. I'll fix the fire and
shut up the schoolhouse and be along
pretty soon"
So the neighbors had all gone, and
only the old man in the schoolroom
and the bow in the loft were left.
The father covered the fading brands
in the stove, picked up the ends OF
burned-out candles, and set the teach
er's chair behind the desk, unconscious
of the boys face looking down upon
him from the loft.
Then he went slowly up to the desk
where his son used to sit-the desk with
JOHN EDWARD DAY notched across
the top. He passed his hand tenderly
over the rude letters; he brushed the
dust carefully from the notches, ana
then
He had not heard rustic in the loft,
nor seen a pair of bows legs cased in
ragged trousers swinging lightly down
to the teachers desk and then to the
floor. But he felt timid touch on his
arm. He looked up into his lost boy $
face, and heard his sons voice say, en-
treatingly:
"Fatherv'
The stout cane ratified noisily down to
the floor, and there was loud cry:
Johnny Johnny. My boy You've
come home You've come back to me
and your mother"
For nearly forty years John lived an
honest, respected life on the home
place, more than redeeming the false
step of his boyhood. His children's
children now play about the old farm,
and his name is handed down to them
without stain.
He lived to be the stay and comfort Of
his fathers and mothers age, and to
hear, as their last words, ''John, you've
been our good son. "-Edrany N. Johnson

Then and Now.
When they first invented gunpowder,
They did most dreadful things with II,
They blew up popes and parlihments,
And emperoTs and kings with II.
They put on funny hats and boots,
And skulked about in cellars, oh
With sha king shoes they laid a fuse,
And blew it with the bellows, oh
They wore great ruffs, the stupid muits!
(At least that's my opinion) then;
And said ''What, no !" and "Sooth, t is Sc!
And called each other "Minionn - then.
But now the world has turned about
Five hundred years, and more, you see;
And folks have learned thing or two
They did not know before, you see.
So nowadays the powder serves
To give the boys jolly day,
And try their Aunt Louisa S nerves,
And make n general holiday.
In open days we blaze away
With popguns and with crackers, on
With rockets bright we crown the night,
(And some of them are whackers, oh y.
And "popr' and 'fizz!" and "bangH and

And that's the way we use to-day

A Live Chameleon.
From the Hartford Courant.

A gentleman living in the north part
of the city was out in the yard vester-
day examining his rose bushes, when,
to his establishment, he discovered a
live chameleon on one of the shrubs. 1t
was of a beautiful green color, match
ing the foliage surrounding it, was about
four inches long, and his eyes were as
bright as electric sparks. When an at
tempt was made to capture him he
glided away among the leaves in such a
stealthy manner that it was quite inn
possible to follow him, so closely did his
color match that of the foliage,
and he disappeared from view.
The appearance of this strange
animal hereabouts is accounted
for in this way: Last winter Charles
n. Knox, living at 677 Main Street,
brought four Of these creatures with
him from Florida. He kept them in
his house during the remainder of the
winter, letting them run loose on the
house plants. In the spring the plants
were set out in the ground, and the
chameleons given their liberty. Nothing
has been seen of them since until this
one was found in neighbours ward
yesterday. While observed he took
two colors-green when away from the
leaves and brown when on the
branches. The first heavy frost will
probably kill them if they are not
captured and given warm quarters.

An Odd Bird That Likes Fishing.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
Away up on, the mountain side, where
the numerous streams find their way
through deep, dark canons down to the
pulsebeat of old ocean, IS the natural
summer home Of the water ousel, the
strangest of all strange birds You sell
dom see more than one of them at
time. They are of dark blue color,
and are easily recognized by a peculiar,
quick, Jerking motion, which they never
seem to tire Of And as they fit from
rock to rock they are continually bob
bing up and down, performing such a
polite little courtesy as would cause you
to smile to see it.
Owing to their peculiar habits and the
isolated spots they select to build their
nests, no one but the most ardent
sportsmen and naturalists succeed in
finding them. Hence a water ousels
nest with two of their eggs in it has
commercial value among nest collectors
of $25. They always build their nests
just back of some water fall or under
some overhanging bank, where they
have to go through or under the water
to getto it.
Another strange habit of this bird is
the deliberate manner in which they
appear to commit suicide. They will
start slowly, very slowly, to wade right
down into the water until they disap-
pear from view, but if the water is clear
and you have sharp eye you can still
see their little dark forms clinging to the
bottom in search Of their morning re-
past, which consists of periwinkles.
