How an Artist In Hard Luck Lost a Square
Meal by Being Gallant.

Meal by HeinE Gallant.
Young Snifkins had been travelling in
hard luck. At least that is how he ex-
pressed himself He had managed to
eke ont bare living by making sketches
from time to time for an enterprising
firm who used his drawings TO illustrate
their extensive advertisements
But with the close of the Christmas
season poor Snifkins found his occupa-
tion gone, the firm having notified him
that his services We're no longer required
Snifkins left his room one morning
feeling that the last straw had been ap-
piled lie could no longer bear the bur
den Visions Of suicide by various
methods began 10 fit through his brain
/ when it suddenly occurred to him that
/ he was hungry. He consulted his finances
and found that he had exactly 90 cents.
AT least he thought. '.I'll have one
square meal and them
Why. Mr.. Snifkins. How do You
do: I'm SO glad to see you"
:lr Snifkins looked up at the fair
creature who had broken in upon his
reyeries 1t was pleasing vision. She
was petite and pretty. and more than
once had Snifkins felt his heart fiutter
when i'll her presence.
/ Indeed, Miss Grace" he replied, II
am right glad to see you. But where
are you going:" Snifkins had forgotten
i all about his intended suicide-and his
appetite.
| I'm going to a florists" replied the
| dear creature, 'and You must come with
me. I'm going TO buy some punches of
holly. We're going 10 decorate our Sun
day school, You know And" with be-
witching smile you'll help me carry the
holly home, won't you:"
/ OF course he would. He would be
only too happy. He watched her while
she was making her purchase. Then he
noticed her fumbling about her pockets.
How stupid" she remarked. Il de-
clare, I've left my purse at home. Well"
addressing Snifkins, Il hate to bother
you, Mr.. Snifkins, but I've forgotten my
purse. lneed So cents. If you will
''Ch. certainly, with pleasure" replied
the young man. handing out his last 90
cents. Would you like any more:"
This Isl quite sufficient. she answered
Thank goodness. mentally calculated
I Mr.. Snifkins as he trudged along by her
side carrying the punches of holly. Then
he remembered how hungry he was and
wondered whether she would ask him
to dinner. As for the young lady her
self, she regaled her companion with all
sorts of airy nothings as they walked
along. and when they had reached her
home the episode of Snifkins' 81 cents
had entirely slipped her memory.
Il am so much obliged, my dear Mr..
Snifkins." she exclaimed, relieving the
latter of his burden as servant in re-
sponse to her ring had opened the door.
DO come and see me some time. would
ask you i'll now, but we are just about
to dine. and we are going to have such

That was all. She had disappeared,

Forget Their Tnet.

Women are called the tactful sex.
Two women came TO the Court Street
theater on Saturday afternoon in search
of a third woman whose father had died
suddenly. The matinee was in progress
and the curtain was up.
The doorkeeper bade them wait till the
act was over. and then cautioned them
against breaking the sad news to their
friend while she was in the theater.

he said. 'and get her out as quickly as
possible"
In few minutes there was mighty
noise from Within and the two women

Doubtless the scene was renewed at
frequent intervals on the road home.
The awkwariness of the messengers had
added difficulties to their own task as
well as spoiled the pleasure of large
number of people.
There" said the doorkeeper in dis
gust, that's just like a woman. You
can tell man something, and he'll see
the point of it, but women go all to
pieces in emergencies. Buffalo Courier.

4 story Of Secretary Carlisle.

Mr.. Carlisle is mastery pleader be-
fore any bar. Kentucky judges look
upon his appearance before them as a
star attraction instead of a part of a
wearisome routine of duty. and Ken
tucky literature has been enriched by
many stories of the senator's legal ca
rccr.
On one occasion Mr.. Carlisle had an
important case that the other side was
sure of winning. Mr.. Carlisle labored
faithfully on his arguments and pro-
duced speech that thrilled all auditors
and deeply impressed the bench. The
moment he had concluded the judge or

Improvement and Land company, the
Leeds Annex company, the American Sc

City Land Company, with an aggregate
capital of S3s,0OO,0OO, failed to-day. They
were organized four years ago to build
a manufacturing suburb five miles from
the city. They built a town of 1000
people, with extensive factories, all of
which are on Il good basis and not af-
fected by the failure. The leading attach
mcnts filed thus far are: S. A. Garrett

There are man. smaller claims unse-
cured. and in addition about $35O,OOO
of claims secured by real estate mort
cages and bonds. The has as
sets of 1000 acres of land worth $1,000.

failure that pulled the others down.
Some time ago James /. Brooks was en-
gagged by Eastern stockholders to carry
out a plan for recognizing the companies.
He went to work and got out an issue of
bonds and sold 100000 worth. What
he did with the money is not known, as
he has disappeared with it. This money
would have tided the companies over, but
without it they failed.

1t is not economy to save mouldy
grain by feeding it. Often the dam
age to the stock will be more than the
worth of the grain. But in the first
place, a good farmer should have no
mouldy grain.
Have you ever figured out how much
profit you made by letting sheep run

was full OF burs? Some time when in

If an animal is "%unthrifty" there is
not much use trying to make it turn
winter stores of hay and grain into
money. Get rid OF it and save the

All wood that is more than two
