Sc WING ACHES s.

Jessie sat down by her mother to
sew. She was making a ~pillow-cass
for her 0 *n little pillow.
"All thisi" she asked in a disc IN
tented tone, holding the seam out.
THAT is not too much for a little
girl who has a work basket Of her
own" said her mother.
Yes" thought Jessie, mother has
given me a work-basket, and I ought
to be willing to sew" and with that
she took a few stitches quite diligently.
Il have a dreadful pain at my side, "
said Jessie, in q few minutes. MY
thumb is very sore" she said in a few
minutes mor "Oh, my hand is so
tired!' was the next. Next there was
something the matter with her foot
and then with her eyes. and SO she was
full of trouble. At length the sewing
was done. Jessie brought it to her
mOSher.
"Should 1 nos first send for a doc
tori said her mother.
"The doctor for me, mothsrl" cried
the little girl, Is surprised as she
could be
Certainly. A little girl so full of
pains and aches must be i'll, and the
sooner we have a doctor the better"
"Oh, mother, " said Jessie, laughing,
"they were sewing aches. am we'll
now"
I have heard of other little girls
besides who had sewing aches and
pains whenever their parents had any
work for them to do. This is a dis
ease called "selfishness, :" and I hope
none of my little girls are afflicted with
it. -ChrGstian Inquirer.

the clerks desk to get n fresh toothpick
when he was accosted by a man of
modest bearing who inquired:
Excuse me, sir, but what was the
name of that last dance you went
through-that shottish, 1 meant"
"Oh," replied Smith, that That
was a gavot."

"Oh, not very new"
"Would you just as lief step into the
waiting room and show me how you
do it,"
Smith, who is a good naturei man,
complied, and quickly unraveled the
snarles of the gavot, while the other
caught on" as rapidly as possible.
When the lesson was finished thu
stranger thanked Smith, saying:

HATED HER FATHER.
New and apparently Authentic
Story Concerning the Borden
Family.
Lizzie Would Not Even Eat at the
Same Table With the Muir
dered Man.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. Aug. 1a.-This
afternoon the Standard prints the fol-
lowing story, which it states is worthy
Of more than usual eredenee, as 1t
comes from Capt. Orrick SInaIley,
chairman of the oyerseers Of the poor.
Capt Smalley was enjoying his vaca-
ton al Craigville when the Borden mur-
ders were committed. and the next day
after, while discussing the news from
tal River. be made a remark that il
was impossible for the daughter 10 have
carried out such horrible dead. There
were those On the piazza who did not
agree with him.
4 stranger 10 whom the captain was
talking was the one who related a con-
veTSatOD with Andrew J. Borden.
which has since opened the eyes OF
those who have heard It This gentle
man, who Is George W. Hathaway, a
travelling agent. said that not long
since. while he was out on one of Nj
Borden's farms. the old gentleman came
ont very much disturbed. Upon being
questioned. he remarked that be did not
take much comfort at home with Lizzie:
that she would not eat at the same
table with him and that only that MORN
ing when he accidentally went into the
room where she was eating, she got I'D
from the table and left the room.
Hathaway also said that Mr.. Borden
told him this with tears in his eyes. ana
remarked that when he left the house
Lizzie said she hoped he would come
home corpse and that probably be
would before long. SmalIey said he was
thunderstTuck, and not being aceuaint-
ed with Hathaway he made inquiries
concerning him. The captain learned
that he was a reliable man. residing in
Fall River. His business is that of
travelling man and he is prominently
connected with one Of the Fail River
churches.
