HIS MISTAKE.

There Il Such q Thing as Funny Man
Being Too Funny.
The early riser was out watering his

The early riser turned around to see
what had shu: off the water so suddenly,
and the funny man laughed at him.
"Get off that hose," exclaimed the early
riser.
"Oh, don't mind me-" said the funny
man. $50 on and water your grass"
Then he noticed that the nszzle was care
lessly pointed in his direction.
"Herei Point that the other wayp he
cried.
The early riser glanced down at the noL-
Ele and his face lit up with pleasure.
Amusing to shut off q mans water,

"But, my dear sir" expostulated the
funny man. II didn't"-
Its intensely funny" said the early
, riser; you'd better get off that hose"
"But l can't" said the funny man.
Don't you see the nozzle's pointed right at
me- and if dol
"Oh, well, I'm in no hurry" interrupted
the early riser. "If you enjoy it l don't
know that have any reason to object"
He sat down on the railing surrounding
his grass plat and rested the nozzle on his
knee, still keeping it pointed toward the
funny man.

that the other way I'll get off,"
"Oh, l wouldn't put you to so much
trouble" said the early riser. enjoy
yourself"
The early riser held the nozzle between
his knees while he took out a cigar and lit
it. The funny man watched him puff it
for moment. Then he said:
''See here, old man, my Ieg's getting
stiff"
why don't you shift legsi" asked the
early riser disinterestedly.
The funny man tried it, made slip, and
the stream almost reached him before he
could get his foot on the hos. again The
early riser chuckled.
Say, Pll break your head" cried the
funny man excitedly.
"All right" returned the early riser
carelessly. But be careful or you may
slip Oh the hose again"

The funny man tried,to walk along the
hose to get farther away from the nozzle.
but the water spurted out little with
each step and he stopped. Then he got
desperate, stepped OF. and started to run
The stream caught him in the middle Of
the back.
When he got out Of range he turned and
shook his fist at the impassive early riser
and made some terrible threats.
And the early riser muttered a he began
watering the grass again:

Reading at Public Libraries,

In Paris, as well as with us, it is found
that the value of public free libraries as a
means of educating the masses is small
An attempt was made to induce people
who frequent the sixty-four libraries in
Paris to prefer instructive books to works
Of fiction; but the only result of this was a
decrease in the number of readers So the
endeavor was abandoned, the authorities
coming to the conclusion that it is better
the public should read novels than not
read at all At present nearly 50 per cent
of the books taken out are novels.
Both in London and Paris we may az
well accept the inevitable. The free library
is not place where the ardent student
learns the latest lessons Of science or stud
les the masterpieces of literature past and
present The reader. if of the male sex
goes TO search the scriptures of the sport
ing prophets; if a woman. to read the fash
ion papers and the fiction Of the day. The
books best worth reading are unread.-St.

beaver, moufflon and angora goat are all used, with many more kinds. Any thing that is fur is in style. Dresses are made with wide bands of astrakhan around the bottom, and with jackets of the same. with sleeves of the dress ma terial.
 There is a novelty called silk fur, which is very pretty but expensive, and many of the novelties in pattern dresses have borders of this silk fur woven into the fabric. There is a silk trimming that resembles ostrich feathers, and another that is almost an exact imitation of real astrakhan.
 Among the newest things shown tbis week are some novel varieties of net, something like the Russian and fish net, but handsomer than either. There are several novelties, only shown in sample however, of broche grenadines, which will be seen next season. These are in all imaginable colors and some of them are exquisite.
 One would have thought there could not have been invented anything new in the way of crepe de chine, but there are several novelties, notably one where there are downy, fluffy tufts of silk woven into the fabric, l. e so many woolly little chickens. There are also some lovely effects in stamped chiffon and in crepon; these have very delicate fioweys faintly printed, and the whole finished by a scallop in buttonhole stitch in the prevailing color.

At "A Marriage License Window.

A marriage license window is queer place, and one at which human nature is barred to official inspection as it sell dom is in any other government office. Hither come the gossips to ask whether certain couples whose names were pub lished the other day have yet got mar ried; to ask what sort of a looking man it was who took out license to wed with Susie Todd-was he tall and light or stout and dark? And hither come an gry mothers to say that no permit should have been given for their daughters, who are not so old as was said. They ask how the law can be in- voked to punish the offending bride grooms. But there are other brides who appear to be forty or thirty, yet de- clare themselves thirty or twenty.
 Back comes man to ask if his permit number cannot be changed, because he wants to buy lottery ticket of the same number as his wedding license, and can not do so unless change is made. Old men speak for girlish brides, and ancient wrinkled women lead up very. young men, holding their arms as if they might escape. Once girl came weeping, and said the man she meant to marry lay dy- ing, and there was not moment to lose. Indeed, it is queer place, and the whole illimitable gamut that novelists have spanned in many centuries is there at hand still sounding fresh notes and of- fering new chords.-Julian Ralph in Harpers Weekly.

THE COMING MAN.

A pair of very chubby legs, Encased in scarlet hose; A pair of little stubby bootA With rather doubtful toes; A little kilt, a little coat, Cut as a mother can And lol before us stands in state The futures "comiDg man." His eyes, perchsnce, will read the stars, And search their unknown ways; Perchance the human heart and soul Will open to their gaze; Perchance their keen and flashing glance Will be a nations light Those eyes that now are wistful bent On some "big fellows" kite. Those hands-those little busy hands So sticky, small and brown; Those hands whose only mission seems To pull all order down Who knows what latent strength may be Hidden within their clasp, Though now 'tis but taffy stick In sturdy hold they grasp. An, blessings on those little hands, Whose work Is yet undonel And blessings on those little feet, Whose race Is yet unrunl And blessings on the little brain That has not learned to planl Whate'er the future holds in store, God bless the "coming man!"
