A Model Letter Box.

All who have suffered the annoyance
of having their morning papers stolen
from the front doorsteps will welcome
the relief which is assured by new
form Of letter box. This box is attached
to the inside Of the outer or street door
of the store or dwelling. 1t is accessible
from without at all hours, access to it
being gained by means of swinging
door or gate, which may be made as or
namental az desired, and if necessary
may have the owners name engraved
upon it ana serve as doorplate. The
width of this combination doorplate
and letter slot is sufficient to admit, be-
sides letters, papers and small packages
of merchandise.
The packages, by an ingenious arrange.
ment, fall behind and below the box into
a receptacle placed there for their &C.
commodation, and the letters fall direct
ly into the box, which a clever device
guards so completely that the improper
abstraction Of it's contents is impossible.
This object is obtained by a swinging
gate, which, while easily pressed in by
the weight Of the letters in the carriers
hands, will close tightly as soon as the
hands withdrawn Pittsburg Dispatch.

why the Little Boy Was GIVING.

Marshall P. Wilder, the humorist
tells this story: Some people think they
haven't got much to be thankful for,
but they might at least be grateful that
things aren't any worse. But there's a
good many that 1sever can be satisfied.
They remind me of little boy that
met in the street. He was crying SO
hard that he appealed to my sympathies.
swell, boy" said I, "lost your motherS'
"Nope," said he.
'Lost something elseY' said L
"Yep," said he, with sob.
"What is it, then?' said 1.
II didn't feel good" sobbed he, 'sand
] cried, an man give me a penny, an I
felt bad some more, an another man give
me penny, an now I feel bad cause
I've lost my bellyache that made me
feel bad in the first place."

he Killed the Chickens.

A New Jersey farmer has gun which
could give Kentucky. mule lessons in
kicking. When he fired it few days
agoit let drive at him and threw him in
the air, landing him on his back, and in
cidentally breaking his shoulder. But
If you were to ask that farmer if he isn't
sorry now that he used such vicious
gun, the chances are ten to one that he
would say no, he was glad of it. You
see, neighbours chickens had been an
noying the owner Of the kicking gun by
getting into his garden and playing the
mischief with it. 1t was at these tres
passing fowls that the gun was dis
charged, and as the gun at the same time
that it sent its owner flying through the
air killed all the poaching chickens, the
farmer probably howled with delight,
despite his fractured bones. That's
human nature.-New York Tribune.

A Mans Christmas Story.

Now that Christmas stories are the
proper thing The Man proposes to tell
one on himself which is too good to be-
lost. The Man has young lady friend
who is fan collector. She had rather
have new fan than block of gas steal
stock. AS The Man was passing a IA
nous jewelry house few days before
Christmas, he spied particularly lovely
fan in the window, and, thinking to
gladden. the HEARTH of his friend, he en-
tered the place and told polite clerk to
wrap up the fan. Instantly the clerk
was dissolved in smiles, and two ladies
who stood near looked approvingly at
The Man, as if to say: "What a nice
young mani So thoughtful of his
friends, and so iberalr' But climax
was rapidly approaching. In his mas
culine ignorance of such matters The
Man had thought the price of the fan
might possibly be ten dollars
it would be no more And SO, as the
smiling clerk handed him the parcel, he
inserted his hand deep into his trousers
pocket and, with all the assurance in
life, said:
Show much?"
''Sixty dollarsr'
"Er-I beg PARDON gasped Tho
Man, while the cold dew of horror came
out on his forehead.
''Sixty dollars"
The Man made desperate grasp for
his presence of mind, and got it.
please put it right back, and do be
careful not to break it. Thank you"
The two ladies looked indignant, and
as The Man fled into the street he heard
one of them say to her companions:

LIKE As A MOON.

Love. thou art waning, alas, SO sooni
Love. thou art over thy plenilunel
Waxing weary as passions pale,
Tagging late as desires fail
Love, thou art lessening, slow, but sure,
Thy perfect circle could not endure!
Full soon thou wilt be but a broken arc
Sailing on to tho swallowing dark
Love, thou hast vanished no single ray
Shoots from thine orbit across our way,
No ghost of thee vexes content supreme,
We only remember thee as q dream!

Two Hypocrites.

AWo HypocrASoss
].
She sat in her coy chamber,
With the curtains all drawn tight,
Curled up in great big rocker,
Fair and sweet in the soft lamp light.
A bonbon box on the table
With choicest of sweets was filled,
Which she daintily nibbled while writing
The words that her lover thrilled:
"Oh, long for you now, my darlingl
Without you my life seems drear.
There is never bit of comfort
For me unless you are near"
II.
And her lover read the letter
AS he sat in his bachelors den,
With his feet cooked up on the mantel,
In the usual way of men,
With box of cigars at his elbow
And a pipe and glass near by,
And the smoke clouds wreathed above him
AS he echoed her lonely cry:
Oh, long for you now, my darlingl
Without you my life seems drear;
There is never bit of comfort
for me unless you are near"

TRANSFERRING MONEY
FUNDS.
FROM

The ordinance signed by Acting Mayor
Hall transferring SIS, 900 from the water
and sewer funds to the salary fund is a
wise measure. It is the same ordinance as
that recently vetoed by Mayor White fos
reasons which cannot be said to have the
force he claimed for them. The charter
requires that all employees Of the city shall
be paid out of the salary fund; and, ordi-
narily, that would be the right course. But
in the matter of construction of water
mains and sewer tunnels the cost of the
labor is included in the amount
derived from bonds. The money
to pay the labor on that work
is lying at the banks, but because of the
charter provision the men have been paid
out of the salary fund. The result is that
the city has for nearly two months been
paying 15 per cent. interest-10 per cent.
on the warrants and 5 per cent. on the
bonds whose proceeds should have taken
them up.
The objection raised that the water fund
is to be used to keep up horde of officials
is ridiculous. The money is not to pay
salaries, but the labor which is estimated
as part of the sum for which the bonds
were issued.
