A well known lawyer seated IN his Office
yesterday afternoon talked entcrtainingly
of a bright young man who had once been
his partner years ago. u have been in the
habit, said the lawyer, "of giving legal
advice to lots Of my country acquaintance
for nothing. This grew TO be such bore
that ! determined To get out OF the habit.
/ appealed TO my young partner, who up
to that time could have been properly des-
ignatcd as a 'briehess barrster,' and he
promised to help me. The next day we
were notified that il certain rich old farmer
was waiting outside to see me. Now this
old farmer had obtained hundreds of legal
opinions from me and had never given me

Its jest like this. A Teller had mort

The maximum speed of the fastest pas
senger elevators which have ever been
built is 500 feet minute, rate of one
mile in three minutes and fraction. Be
fore the fire in the Western Union New
York building occurred that company had
a machine which could run $500 feet a
minute. 1t was the only one of its kind in
the east Mr.. Thomas Il. Brown, Jr., a
consulting engineer of this city, thinks it
possible there are few of equal speed in
the west
These machines are of the water balance
type-that of the original hydraulic ele-
vator, the invention of Cyrus Baldwin.
Owing to its expensiveness, and the fact
that it could not be controlled automatic
ally, it went out of use. The speed was
regulated by the engineer, and it went fast
or slow, as he pleased

The Word "HustIe."

The keynote and countersign of life in
the cities of the northwest is the word
hustle. We have caught it in the east,
but.we u& fshumorously, just as we once
used the southern word ''skedaddle," but
out west the word hustle is not only a seri-
Gus term, it is the most serious in the Ian
guage One day, as | sat in the lobby of
one of the great hotels in the older pair of
twin cities, | heard two old friends greet
ing each other with ardent expressions of
friendship and delight. They had not met
for long while, and each asked about the
others Lizzie and Fannie and their respec-
tive little ones. All of a sudden l heard
one say;
well, see you tonight. l suppose. have
got to 60"
Where have you got to 90 to-" the other
inquired, plainly disappointed that the
pleasant interview was not to be prolonged.

Kindness to a Horse.

Whenever you see man good to his
horse be sure that man will be good to his
wife, if heaven vOuchsafes to send him
one. Every day there is a bright faced
young German fellow who drives up I'M
derneath the window where | write, and |
have quite lost my heart to him already
by reason of his consideration for the hand
some animal he drives. He is not only
negatively kind in that he does not yank
at its mouth, high check it or nose bag it,
but he always manages to give it an en-
couraging word while he blankets it, and
never leaves it without pat and caress.
Bless your wholesome heart, my red
checked, blue eyed young fellow, would
stake my last dollar on the steadfastness
and strength and genial good fellowship of
your nature. Other men may know more
and make longer and more definite mark
on the ledger of time, but a kind heart is
remembered when a shrewd brain is for
gotten.-Chicago Herald.

Under the rule and inspiration of the
art decorator, a curious confusion and
introversion of ideas has come to pass.
Instead of a room being the reflection of
the person who mostly lives therein,
(Which should make the sight of Il room.
even more than that of a persons friends,
be a true index of character), the room
is now looked upon as the ruling guide,
The owner must live up, dress up, to the
room; she must try to harmonic with
the room instead of her room being
brought into harmony with her. In
fact, she is like person who has bought
a particular picture frame and must
strive to find some picture that will fill
it fairly well.
A woman's room should be her frame,
which completes and perfects the picture
of her individuality; but in the schemes
of the art decorator she is a mere acct
dent of no account, and he would design
pompadour boudoir for Lady Macbeth
or a Greek music room for Becky Sharp,
wherein to sing Yvette Guilbert's latest
success to the Marquis of Steyne, with
out a qualm ruffiing his serene self sat
isfaction. The genre atelier was one of
the modes of this craze for domestic
decoration, which was perhaps the most
ludicrous, when estimable souls who
knew no more of painting than cat
does of a case of pistols thought it neces-
sary to establish easels about their rooms,
and even went so far as to hang. palettes
ready ''set" for painting on their walls.

1t was the matinee day of Third avenue
popular price theater.
Five minutes had to elapse before the
gallery doors would be opened and line
of boys stretched from the barred portals
clear around the nearest corner. They ran
rather small-a fact noticed by big, hulk
ing fellow who paused to scan the bill
boards, and after a moment of deliberation
he pushed himself into the line within a
dozen or so of the head.
There was a rumble of Indignation from
the entire column.
Cum Off"
"Cheese it"
"Chase yerself"
The intruder calmly ignored these re-
quests, and putting his hands in his pock-
cts leaned carelessly against the wall.
There was a rustic of preparatory action
along the line.
"Slug him, felleysp' shrieked grimy
faced bootblack
And they slugged him.
1t was like swarm of wasps attacking
young black bear, and in remarkably
short space of time the enemy was knocked
into cooked hat
This business being adjusted the waiting
column rearticulated itself.
The right of properly acquired prece-
dence upon the gallery line is sacred in the
unwritten code of the small boy about
town, and he will protect it even though
the heavens fall.-New York Commercial

TWO eAsY FEET.

Only two baby feet. so pink and fair;
So small hold them both within my band,
And bending low kiss them tenderly,
With thoughts which none but mothers under
stand
note each line Of dainty baby grace
Which those dear feet unconsciOusly possess;
Dear dimpled feet. how long or short way
You have to journey; who can tell or guessl
Dear little feet. that lie yet all unstained
BY contact with a world by sin defle1;
My mother-heart prays God most fervently
That she win guide those restless feet, my child
And bending Ger thy peaceful couch ask
Unanswered questions Of thy future days:
long to know II these dear feet will tread
Upward or down. through rough or pleasant
ways
cannot tell; It IS not mine TO know
What God, in wisdom, for my child hath planned,
And il is best, dear one, that il is so;
For human reason might not understand.
But he who guides the tmid sparrow's flight
When it has fluttered from its sheltered home
viii not forget my child by day or night
Wherever or far those baby feet may roam.

Tho Speed of Elevators.

With the modern elevator almost any
speed desired can be obtained; it all de-
ponds on the power used and the dis
lance travelled. In building which has
a shaft of $50 feet IA speed of from $50 to
1000 feet "A minute can be obtained. On
a rise of $50 feet it is easy to get a speed
of $50 feet per minute with a weight of
1000 pounds aboard the elevator. In
New York the fastest elevators are in
the Union Trust company's building on
Broadway, near Wall street They shoot
up or down, carrying 1900 pounds, at a
speed of 600 feet minute. When tested
with lighter weights they have travelled
from 800 to 900 feet in minute.
But the average speed of elevators in
Office buildings in and around New York
is 300 feet a minute. 1t is best adapted
for work, and experience has demon
strated that more passengers can be car
ried daily in "A car going at that speed in
the ordinary large building than any
other The increase in the size Of ele-
vators is in keeping with Improvement
in other directions. Chicago Journal of

Measles More Fatal Than Influenza

The mortality from measles exceeds
anything that can thus far be directly
attributed to influenza. 1t appears that
over $4,000 deaths from measles occur
annually in England and Wales, and the
rate of mortality has greatly increased
during the last decade. Why do we
take no account of it? Because, sup
pose, measles is most fatal to infants,
whereas influenza chiefly carries off the
aged. We all of rs expect to grow old,
but we can none of us hope to be young
again. Yet the life Of healthy infant
is of more value than that of a sexage-
marian who has not strength to combat
the influenza microbe. London Truth.

Jewels Of a woman's Life.

There are so many jewels that may be
worn day and night, so many gems that are
always and only your own, that you need
not grieve for those that show their bright
ness only by day. There is the jewel of
Consideration, that you may wear just over
your heart; there is the moonstone of Hope,
that may glitter over your brow, filling
your eyes with brightness; there is that
brilliant stone OF sympathy the emerald
that makes you put out your right hand
of help; and there is the beautiful one of
loving Kindness, that makes the left hand
help the right. But above all, overshadow
ing all, pinning down your tresses, is the
diamond of true Love-love which en-
dureth all, suffereth all, hopeth all. Are
not these better than jewels dug out Of
the earth? For, indeed, these jewels
come from heaven above.-Ladies' Home
