She Got a Seat,

1t was about II o'clock, on the elevated
road-and elsewhere.
At Twenty-third street two pretty young
women in good clothes came aboard.
The morning rush was past, but still the
car was full of comfortable business men
studiOusly devoted to their newspapers.
Not seat was vacant, and not one was
offered One of the young women hitched
herself to strap with an air of familiarity
with the process; the other looked ON and
at the men with an expression of intellec-
tual curiosity, not unmixed with scorn.

"Will we have to stand all the way down

irrelevantly, in soft, clear tones and un-
mistakable southern accents.
"No; not all the way" replied the New
York girl, and then, chaperoning her sex
instead of her section, she added soto voce,
"some of these brutes will have to get out

seats with his back to them now rose with
an amused expression, saying:

surrendered his seat, whereupon his visa
Wis succumbed ruefully to moral suasion
and gave up his. When the girls, with

A Cincinnati IdyI.

There is to be a wedding IN the west end
soon which will be the sequel to a rather
romantic introduction. One night about a
year ago daintily attired little lady got
aboard one of the Seventh street cars on
her way home from her days work in an
up town Office. The car was we'll filled,
and the young lady was compelled to swing
on the end of a strap for many squares
She was little bit of body, and she had
to stretch her arms considerably to reach a
strap for support. The car gave lurch as
it turned corner, and a white band
made its appearance about the little wom-
ans waist. AS it slowly grew larger broad
smiles made their appearance on the faces
of several of the male passengers
Feeling something was wrong, the young
lady glanced down at her waist and at
once blushed crimson with embarrassment
A young mechanic on his way home from
work was in the car, and seeing the young
lady's dilemma he proved himself true
gentleman by at once coming to her assist
ance. Stepping between her and the other
passengers he said:
Pardon me, miss, but if you wish to ad-
just your skirt | will screen you from the
over curious eyes of these other passen.
gers"
The little lady accepted the proffered aid
with thanks, and after that they met near
ly every evening on their way home. Their
acquaintance ripened into something
stronger than friendship, and the closing
act in this romance of a car strap will be
the wedding of these two.-Cincinnati Eli.

An Elaborate Luncheon for Children.

One of the favored small folk of this OPP,
ulent city was the recipient not long ago of
a luncheon which must have been a de
light to her and the other wee ones who
graced the feast The guest of honor was
a lovely four-year-old with golden hair and
big brown eyes, and the dozen little ones
asked to meet her counted their years, the
eldest of them, not more than twice as
many. For this company of tender age
the table showed bank of variegated hya-
cinths through it's center. Wax lights
with shades to match the parti-colored
flowers added to the brilliancy so pleasing
to the childish eyes.
At every plate stood a miniature pot
swathed in Chinese napkin in which was
growing a small hyacinth, and by its side
lovely doll, whose gown exactly matched
the hue of its companion flower. This
kaleidoscope of color and gifts brought ad-
miring "Ohsp' from every separate small
girl as she took her seat.
The sensible mother who provided the
luncheon deserves record for the menu,
which included bouillon, creamed oysters,
broiled chicken, colored jellies, ice cream,
small cakes, not rich, and chocolate. The
last course was Jack Horner pie--this
one showing, to match the harlequin
luncheon, a top gay with many colored
tufts of tissue paper, each of which duly
resolved itself into plum" of acceptable
shape to its delighted possessor. Her Point

The Cause of Poor Health

own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fledged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
