JUVENILE FILTRATION.
The Stick of Ca dy Given by the Small
Boy to the Small Girl.

The Stick of Ca dy Given by tho Small
Boy to the Small Girl
She is just the sweetest child that ever
was born, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. She has Titan red hair, and
ivory skin, and blue eyes, and when she
grows up she will make the men stand
around Then she will marry plain,
bald-headed man, and be lost to the
beautiful world, and people will wonder
why such beautiful girl should throw
herself away. Because she has sense,
and no woman OF sense would marry
man as goodlooking as she was. But
she is only two years old yet; yet she is
simply the sweetest thing that ever
lived. No. 1t Is not her "mother says
so." 1t is her godmother; and II 1t
comes to that, godmother can think
more of her godchild than the real,
simple, plain, ordinary mother. Every
child should have godmother. 1t Is
better than being born with a
''caul" Perhaps you doubt this god
mothers word. But she must have been
pretty child, for her mother took her
in the car one day and she dropped her
two .year-old blue eyes on small
boy trihe older who sat opposite with
bis mother. The small boy fell at her
glance, not by that furtive look at her
and an uneasy movement that marks
man when he has been hit by girl in
a car, and wants TO look and doesn't
like to because he thinks every body
will notice. The small boy simply
gazed at the beautiful child and after a
little hesitation he walked over boldly
and put into her hand q lovely stick OF
candy. A boy must have been smitten
when he did that A man may be
foolish and give away things to girl
and not be much smitten after all,
but when boy gives up his candy he is
Glenn gone. The small beauty took II
and gave him q smile which made him
palpably thrill. There was no mistak.
ing his satisfaction The child held
the candy for few seconds, Then she
said:
Mamma, may l eat this candy?"
] "No, dear. 1t isn't pretty to eat
candy on a car"
"Well, mamma, may / kiss it2"

Am IpEAL HUSBAND.


True wothaniy sentitnsnts Ispresssd By
Milwaukee Girl.
At gsthering Of young Indies ono
evening last week ono of them pro-
posed that tho party draw up in circle,
and each in turn give her opinion as to
the qualifications of an ideal husband.
1t was Immediately agreed tog says tho
Milwaukee Wisconsin, and OIL the di-
versity of prerequisites would cause
man to fear and tremble as to his ac-
ceptableness even were he an angel sans
wings. One wanted a rich man, one
famous one, another a handsome one;
some wanted q title, and most OF them
wanted all these things combined,
At last 1t came thc turn of q sweet,
sunny little creature in pink and white.
For a moment her face grew serious,
and then came her verdict: H
"He must be moral, well-bred, and
have some fixed and honorable method
of making living"
What not one word about his being
titled, rich or handsomel
But" she continued, "the man /
marry must be my other self. He must
be sympathetic with me in my tastes
and pursuits. When he comes l shall
know him, and all the love have to
give shall be his, and shall expect love
in return for love. OF course, II he is
young and rich and handsome 80 much
the better, but should not love him
less were he none OF these things"
True womanly sentimentsl Would
that they could find an echo in every
woman's heart. The number of un-
happy marriages would be lessenel l, and
divorce unknown. Many, fascinated by
outward glamor, rush headlong into
matrimony, and too late find that the
tastes and inclinations Of husband and
wife differ as widely as night and day.
For instance, one Is literary and fond OF
retirement, the other despises literature
and is inclined to society; each will nat
urally seek the society and conversation
OF those whose tastes and opinions coin
eide with his own. The consequence Is
an arrangement of husband and wife In
things the world calls trivial, butwhich,
in reality, decide their happiness; and
each would find it easy to secrihce all
the Others charms for the one charm
not there, namely, responsive heart In
all things.
