ily. These conditions sorely
trouble Mr.. Lund, as his highest am
bition was that his daughter should
reach the highest accomplishments,
bothl In literature, music and art. The
revelation that had just dawned upon
him was another thorn in his side; 1t
was that the education and care Of
Edna Latimer was thrust upon him.
But he, with his great, manly heart,
grasIed the situation manfully and
resolved that his own daughter should
not have any advantages over his pro-
tege.
After Mr.. Lund looked the situation
thoroughly over and had discussed the
pros and cons with his sister, it was de-
cided to advertise for a competent
tutor, and have the girls educated at
home; so in few days the following
appeared in Chicago paper:

IL was with Il joyful heErt that Mr..

figbting. IL was indeed great sacri-

tore his heart strings assnnder, that he

Habit is Life,

One of the boys Francis Wilson had with him
was let out when he abandoned "The Merrie
Monarch" for "Erm inie." While waiting for
something to turn up the youngster accepted
the position of organ blower in a fashionable
Fifth-avenue school. His duties only lasted
twenty minutes each morning, when. at tile
opening of exercises the schoolgirls INDUCED In
a couple of hymns. For week or so he full
filled his duties faithfully; then one morning,
as the girls were rising 10 march out of the
schoolroom, the Organist, out of pure deYIltry,
started TO play the dance song from 1.-The
MerTie Monarch" That was too much for the
plekannnv. Ii was the old story of the bugle
and tile brOken-dOwn warbOrse told again. His
eyes rolled ecstaiically and his feet b gan 10
twlcb. For moment he stood irresOlutc, then
suddenly lie dropped the pump-handle and
broke into double shuttle. The girls, tickl-d
beyond measure, stood still I'm their tracks
while the child completely carried away by the
music delivered himself of Wilson's little
homfly on true love:
Oars never a riddle in life so hard
But love will find he way:
Oars never gate so tightly barred
But love will find the way.
Though clouds Of doubt obscure the sky,
Grief and sorrow fill the eve,
Don't get blue or gin to cry,
For love Will find the way.
After that the yOuugster blew no more on the
organ. The schools dee0rum would not admit
OF that, but the girls and the teachers superan-
nuated him OH handsome allowance, and next
month he Will return TO his original field Of
labor.

RANG THE BELL.
A Woman's Hat Pin Brought the
Streetcar to Stop.

Ct LOUIS hcpuDuC.
On some OF the Olive stIeetCars electric bells
enable the passenger to punch button and
signal the cableer TO stop when he wants TO
get up. These buttons are conspicuous features
OF the strips between the windows. A few days
ago the bell On one of the cars began 10 ring,
and the car slowed up and stopped at the next
street. but the ringing kept up Nobody got off,
and the conductor and cableer began TO grow
angry. The ringing went on. Another stop
was made at The next street, still nobody got
off, and the bell kept on ringing.
From mild indignation The conductor grew
profane and announced that the person who
kept ringing the bell would be put o II at The
next corner The next corner was reached !;
nobody got of, but the bell kept ringing
The passengers now began to enjoy the
thing, and the more they smiled the warmer
the conductor got, and a collision seemed i'm
mnent. when all of a sudden lady who had
been sitting in graceful and comfortable atti-
tude with her he ad against the window-frame,
unconscious OF the comTnotiOn and its cause
leaned forward and signaled the conductor to
stop the AS she did the bell stopped
ringing. 1t was then seen that her hat-pin had
been resting against the electric button, and as
the fact dawned upon the conductor and the
passengers at the same time there was a burst
of laughter so loud that IL almost set the bell
ringing again.
