Two Foolish Men.
panion.

Among the most interesting visitors at
the outlying summer resorts are the
rural business men who run down from
town to see the sights. They have
money and are persons of consequence
at home. One of their most important
duties is to go through the dinner. They
have expected to find waiter behind
every chair, and fancy they are neglected
if their orders are not attended to i'm
mediately. Two of them, already an
noyed at the del;y, had everything the
bill of fare could offer but the black
pepper. That was at the other end Of
the table, and the waiter was gone.
Neither would take up knife or fork
without the pepper. They funed and
fretted. They vowed they would never
come to that hotel again They wouldn't
come there for 100000 They wouldn't
spend summer at any fashionable wa
tering place for money. They made
themselves so unhappy that a. neighbor

made an effort and got them the pepper.
But it was too late to restore their spir-
its. When the waiter endeavored to
serve them again eagerly, and with cir.
cumstance, one exclaimed:
"Oh, yes; you're in a great hurry now.
Don't jump around SO; you make me
nervous"
Finally the other laid down his knife
and fork and said solemnly: II feel like
I'm robbing my wife and children eat
ing such an expensive dinner. It's the
way men ruin themselves when they
ought to be laying up money in the
bank"
Thus these two poor men struggled
through the meal, torturing themselves
with every mouthful, and simply be-
cause their little bundles of self love
were hurt at not getting the black pep
per the moment they wanted it.-New

HAPPY AND COMMENTED.
A Servant Girl That Would Make a Ire

A Servant Girl That Would Make Tres-
sure for Any Home.
A servant who rejoices in her work,
and is continually thankful that she
has so good place, is a servant worth
having. Mrs. Helen Jackson, who has
had some experience with "help" of an
other Sort thought such a treasure
worth describing. She was in Chester,
England, and having seen the cathe-
dral she set out in the morning to ex-
anime the famous Chester Rows. 1t was
worth while, she thought, to turn down
some of the crevice-like alleys in the
Rows, and see where the people lived.
At the far end of some of the crevices
point of sunlight was visible, betoken-
ing tiny courtyard in the rear.
In such courtyard found yellow
haired, blue-eyed little maid, scrubbing
away for dear life, with a broom and
soapsuds, on the old tiles. She was not
more than nine years old. Her bare
legs and feet were pink and chubby,
and she had a smile like sunbeam.

"We've fine rooms, men," she went
on. ''It's very nice lodging, if you'd
like to see it"
She threw open a door into an inf
Intestinal parlor, out of which opened
still smaller dining-room, lighted only
by window in the parlor door. There
were two bedrooms above, reached by
nearly upright stairway, not more than
two feet wide. The fifth room was a
beautiful washroom," W hich the little
maiden exhibited with even more pride
than she had shown the parlor.

boys, aged respectively seven and twelve
years, were smothering in limekiln.
Without an instant's hesitation Julia
Dignam precipitated herself into the
kiln in the hope of bringing one or other,
if not both, to the surface alive. The
younger of the two she dragged first to
place of safety. She then returned
for the other, but he was quite dead,
and her only companion on hearing it
rushed Mortified from the edge Of the
kiln and left her actually alone with her
ghastly charge. She called her brother.
and they dragged out the body. The
younger one recovered. On behalf of
the grand priory of the Order of the
Hospital of st. John Of Jerusalem the
Prince of Wales has recently decorated
her with the medal for life saving.
Julia's journey to London was vast
event in her humble little history. The
authorities paid her passage money and
escorted her from the station to MARI
borough house, where the Prince of
Wales not only affixed her decoration
with his own royal hands, but spoke
many kindly words to her. The delay
in decorating her was due to the fact
that the society can only honor given
number of persons each year.

Pears
Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

he went to work more industriously than
