Two little girls were going TO school.
Both little girls were ROSY and sweet:
one little girl had to walk by rule,
For her shoes were hurting her feet.
One little girl could skip and jump,
For MoTse's School Shoes tted her RIGHT
On the foot OF one little girl was bump.
On account Of her shoes being much too
tight.
One little girl missed winning a prize.
Her feet were hurting her every day:
Each wore shoes of the very same size,
But they were made In different way.
One pair Of shoes were made too narrow.
The ones made by Morse we're wider and
neat;
One girls toes were like those Of a sparrow:
Badly shaped shoes had deformed her feet
One parent bought shoes everywhere,
The other bought shoes made by Morse & O.,
They make and warrant every pair
To be properly shaped, and OF good stock,
you know.

Bernhardt'S Jewels.

Sarah Bernhardt's latest catastro-
phe with her jewels is too good to
miss getting into print. 1t seems
Dona Sol left her jewels in a cab and
on discovering her loss flew off to
Scotland yard and there found them
safe and sound. When asked, how
ever, to pay thu usual percentage on
recovered roperty, and finding that
his commission would in the present
instance amount to e165, she was
furious and cal lied it an imposition
and asked to see the project de police.
The. guardian Of the peace who was
attending to her assured her, in his
most plausible manner, that she could
not see the "cl ief' without appoint
ment, whereupon Sarah exclaimed:
"Why not? | can see the Prince OF
Wales without appointment. Why
not the chief OF police?
Finding argument, however Apo
site, of no avail, In grande TRACE
dienne betook herselfto Essex street
to her solicitor, who told her in this
case the police had the law on their
side, but advised her to return to
Scotland yard and ask what was the
lowest they would take. Sarah there
fore'returned and asked whether they
would not remit part of the COM
mission. Whereupon. she was in
formed that. considering the circnm'
stances of the case, they would
"knock off, 600 and let her off with
SOS, which was promptly handed to
the fortunate cab-man.-London

1t Wasn't Angels He Heard.

1t was q sad scene. The old man
lay on his bed, and by him sat the
faithful wife, holding his worn hand
in hers, and forcing back the tears
to greet his wandering look with u
smile. She spoke words of comfort
and hope. But he felt the cold hand
falling upon bin and he turned his
weary eyes up to the pale, wan face.
"Jennie, dear wife, am going"
'Oh, no, John; not yet; not yet. "
eyes, dear wife," and he closed his
eyes; "the end is near. The world
grows dark about me. There is a
mist around me gathering thick er
and thicker, and there. as through a
cloud, hear the music of angels
sweet and sad"
"No, no, John, dear; that isn't an
gels; that's the brass band on the
corner"
"Whatl" said the dying man.
"Have those scoundrels dared to
come around here when they know
I'm dying? Give me my boot-jack.
I'll let 'em see"
And in n towering rage the old
man jumped from his bed, and before
his wife could think he had opened
the window and SHE'D the boot-jack
at the band
1--WE hit that Dutch leader, any
way"
And he went back to bed and got
well.-San Francisco Chronicle.

why Women Are HI.

The average woman understands just
about a. much about anatomy as n
French doll. Look at our girls and tell
me how many of them are up in that all
important study - physiology. Yes,
everything under the sun is crammed into
their heads, while they are allowed to
drift into wOmanhood totally ignorant of
the needs and necesst O. of that delicate
structure, the human body. A time
comes, and it is generally too late, when
they awake to the fact that they arc
physical wrecks. l do not think | am
eXaggerating the matter at all when |
speak so emphatically. | am constantly
called to visit women who have, through
ignorance alone, developed the most d s.
tressing complaints. Troubles that,
were l frank with them, they would I'M
derstand as incurable, and must go down
with them to the grave.-From a Phila-
delphia Physician.

The native races along the southern
coast Of South America are described as
professional wreckers and thieves.
Their practices are told by the author of
"The Cruise of the Falcon
One Sailor is sitting half a sleep on his
sea chest. A gaucho comes up and taps
him on the back.
"Bueno, Johnny; bueno, Johnny"
eff you are not off l will send bullet
into you," said Jack.
"Bueno, johnny; bueno till to-
morrow" and off skulks the gaucho to
his horse, which he mounts. With a
sardonic smile he takes off his hat to
Jack, BIDS him farewell, and digging his
spurs into the TANKS of his little horse
leans over his neck and is of at full
gallop over the short grass of the sandy
plains.
At the first stride of the horse, to
Jacks intense surprise, his box is
wrenched violently from under him.
He jumps up, rubs his eyes, and before
he can recover his senses he sees his
property rolling and humping away over
the sand hills at tho heels OF the gau-
cho's steed; for the clever gentlemen had
managed to make one end of his lasso
fast to the handle of jacks box while
engaged in conversation with him.

80 Examine tho IIorse,. Larynx.

invention likely to interest not only
all stud owne hut also those intrusted
with the care of cavalry horses, has just
been brought out at the Vienna military
veterinary institute. Prof. Polanski
and DIR. Schindclka have constructed an
instrun ent admitting of the inspection
by mirror of the horses larynx. The
apparatus is used with n tiny electric
lamp and the examination is made, not
as heretofore, through the animals
mouth, but through its nostrils. Only
three men have been required to hold
the horses during tho experiments which
have been made at the Vienna institute.
The new method has the advantage of
allowing the nostrils to be thoroughly
examined at the same time as the larynx,
which for certain diseases is all impor-
tant.

Tho Law. That Women Would yrnk

That the tendency of a state governed
by women would be to arbitrary and
sentimental legislation, can hardly be
doubted. Prohibition in its most OK
IRENE form would almost certainly carry
the day, writes Goodwin Smith in the
January Forum. Possibly legislation
against tobacco might follow. Would
men obey, knowing that the law had no
force behind it? If they did not, what
but disregard Of law and consequent
confusion would ensue?

InSulted The Fat Woman,

A fat woman with a very red face
got on a crowded Broadway car.
A young man, as thin as she was
stout, squeezed up out of his seat
and, lifting his hat gracefully, invited
her to sit down. The fat woman
looked him over, with contempt
uous CLINT in her eyes, and then, in a
loud and angry tone, she said;
Young man, l suppose you thought
you was awful cunnin' to ask a wom-
an as fat | am to sit in the six-inch
space that you have been occupyin'
I'm fat, but Pm not foolish, and if
you thought you would mortify me
before all these people, why, yer
barkin' up the wrong saplin' I'll
let you know who's to be mortified. !"
The thin young man blushed crimson
and muttered that he "meunt no
HARM" didn't notice." etc. ooh,
you didn't notice, didn't you? Well
this'l teach you to notice next time
and not insult respectable ladies in
such a way. I'm fat and I'm not
ashamed OF it, but if was thin and
scrawny as you are. would go and
pad myself from A to lizard" The
young man tried again to say his in
tentions as were the best, but she cut
him off. "Shut up, you wasp-waisted
cadaver, or I'll pull you in two.
Come back here again and sit down
in this crack, you long-drawed out
link between a hard winter and here
after. She reached for him, but the
young man had wisely fled the car
at the last crossing.-New York

The correspondent who went up the
country to meet Stanley describes his
hair as being quite white. This he
ascribes to the privations of the expedi-
ton. But those who met Mr.. Stanley
when he was formerly in this country
will be reminded by the kilograms of an
incident regarding which the great OK
plorer was some years ago twitted by his
friends. AS u matter of fact, his hair
had become white long ago. But Mr..
Stanley did not appreciate the venerable
appearance which his gray locks gave
him. They became black again good
deal more suddenly than they had grown
white. In view of the chance of another
curious change of this kind, 1t is rather
awkward that their present color should
have been so universally made known

One day last week an elderly lady re-
siding in Kenosha suddenly dropped
dead from some heart trouble, says a
Racine, Wisconsin, dispatch to the Chi
cago Herald. She was supposed to bo
very poor, having worked hard all her
life. The undertaken was summoned to
the residence to prepare the body for
burial, and while removing the clothing
it was noticed that the hustle was rather
heavy; in fact it was so weighty as to at
tract attention. 1t was ripped open and
the spectators were thun lerstruck to
find secroetcd therein over 81, 500 in
bank notes. The old lady instead of
spending her money had boarded every
cent and saved the above amount, which
she preferred to carry around with her
rather than intrust it to the banks.
1t is simply wonderful how a good thing
gets known and appreciated. In the public
schools examinations now they ask the small
boys: "Who was the first manl'' adam"
