PERSONAL AND iMPERSoNAL.

John Spaulding, a millionaire

servant girls employed in the hotel
wherein he makes his home $50, 900 in
Christmas gifts He gave them twenty

The engagement of the late ex-
President Hayes to his cousin, Mrs
Mary Ann Hayes Bigelow, of Brattle-
boro. Vt, is said to have been privately
announced a year ago in Brattle boro,
and that the MARI age was put off on
account of the death of Mrs Bigelow's
oldest son, Russell, a lawyer, who prae-
ticed in New York
"A Monroe, Mich, young man bought
a pair of overalls the other day, and in
the pocket of them found a note from
the young woman who made them,
asking him to write 70 her. He did so,
and was much surprised to receive re-
ply saying that she was sorry he had
no finer blood than to wear such poor
quality of trousers"
The late William Warren was one
of the best comedians that ever lived,
but whoever wished to see him had to
go to Boston TO do it, for he seldom APP
peared except at the Boston museum.
The country legislators frequently went
TO that theater in body, and Mr. War
rem had farce written upon that cir
cumstance in which he was the central
figure, and which was called ''Seeing
Warren"
"A New York clergyman told his
congregation last Sunday that all those
who put five dollars in the contribution
box would get fifty dollars back in their
business within year and that If they
failed to realize that promise they could
draw on him personally for that amount
The box was promptly filed with crisp
five dollar notes and if the contri butors
realize the tenfold return it is probably
safe to say that the church will not be
large enough to hold the congregation
next year.
Justice Lamar was very fond of
children. One day last summer he was
seen to stop and take hand at marbles
with an urchin. Another time he play
fully took little boy straw hat off and
walked on with it. In a moment his
mind had gone on one of those flights of
introversion for which the justice was
famous, and he had walked several
blocks before he noticed that he had
been committing petit larceny. He re-
traced his steps to restore the hat The
lad was coming along with policeman,
explanations followed, and the young
ster got back his property.
"A Boston paper tells a good story
of a Boston suburban pastor. He was
sitting in his library one evening
recently when knock at the door
came. He answered, and found couple
who desired 10 be united in matri-
mony. The pastor asked them into his
parlor and performed the marriage
ceremony, after which the groom
handed him a sealed envelope supposed
10 have contained the usual compensa-
ton. The happy couple departed, and
the reverend gentleman opened the
envelope and found the following note:
eff she turns out as well as think she
will l will come back and pay you for
vOI1r services -

Forgetting One,s Children.

81 left my children standing there,
exactly therew 1t was in one of the
stores in Temple place, and the mother
who had lost her two little girls pointed
with absolute decision to the place where
she was certain she had told them to
wait for her while she went to another
counter to look at bargain. A small
commotion of inquiry and search at once
buzzed through the store. Presently
one of the head men stepped to the door
and looked up and down the street to
see IL the lost children had strayed out
of doors.
In front of another store few doors
up the street a small crowd was collect
ing about two little girls who were ask
ing piteously for their mother. They
were still standing in the doorway of the
store exactly where she had left them
when she went away down to the other
to look up bargain. And when she
was brought unto her own she ''remem-
bered that she had forgotten" where it
was she had left them, and added, 81 de-
clare, l don't see how came to do such

Don't Encourage Inhuman Tricks.

Let the boy fish, boat, canoe, swim
and tramp through the woods on explor-
ing trips to his hearts content. Go with
him if possible and encourage healthful
exercise and observation asmuch as pos
sible, but don't teach him, nor allow him
to acquire, unlawful and inhuman tricks.
Upon nearly every one of furred or feath-
cred things seen during June and July
depends family of helpless lives. which
may be doomed to the miseries of slow
starvation by one thoughtless shot.
The boy with the firearm sees a bird
and says, Watch me plug him." and If
the aim prove true the boy tsiinks he has
done something clever, and most likely
his fond father tells him that he has SO
done. In reality he has broken law
and probably sounded the doom of half
a dozen wretched fedglings hidden In a
