But Not GETTING Better.

Mike Roonan was as honest an Irish
man as ever carried a hod. He had a
family of nine children, who were al.
ways hungry and whose shoes were al.
ways out at the toes; so when the hard
times struck his ward last summer and
Mike found himself out q job, he felt
that fortune had dealt him a pretty
hard blow. However, Mike was moi
wholly disheartened, and he hustled
about to find some honest employment.
The prospect vas discouraging, but
he kept boldly at it, and was at last
rewarded by securing q place with 9
gang Of street PAYERS. His particular
duty was at the stone-yard loading the
cart with stones.
Mike had not been at work more
than an hour when his next-door neigh.

NATIVE
Henry Claws Admiration Of the America

n0ury SihV ADMIRATION OF the American
Housewife.
Henry Clay often said that it seemed
to him that American women of any
class surpassed in tact and natural
good h women of any other
race. One example which III gave was
the following:
During a presidential campaign. after
he had addressed a mass-meeting in n
Kentucky town, one of the neighbor
ing farmers invited him to dinner at an
early date to meet some Of the leading
wings of the county.
When the day arrived Mr.. Clay rode
up to h farmhouse, and was surprised
to see no stir of preparation, for the
hospitable Kentuckians usually found
no banquet too rich for their beloved
leader. The farmers wife, in a home
spun gown and white apron. was feed
ing the chickens. She turned startled,
n then approached him smiling.
ut is Mr.. Clay? Come in! Come in!
My husband will be here in a moment"
She led him directly into her clean,
cheerful kitchen. and blew the horn to
summon her husband Inc sons. giving
them q warning look rs they entered.
II knew" Mr.. Clay said, ''there was
q blunder somewhere. But there was
no hint of it in my hostess's manner as
h o after composedly PLACID the
single dish of food on the table, and
invited us to be seated. The dish was
pigs jowl and cabbage, and it was ex-
ceedingly well cooked. l never en-
joyed q meal more or listened to better
talk. When il was over, and we men
had smoked our pipes, I prepared to
then came out.

to ms, alone. to-day
1.-THE next day a large company of
men sat down to a royal dinner. But
l 9 enjoyed the jowl and cabbage most.
1t had the favor of the finest hospi-
tality."
Most American women have had en-
barrassing experiences in social emer-
gencies. Perhaps none was ever more
trying than the adventure Of a lady
noted in New York society for her
courtesy and savoir faire.
n winter day she started on the
train for Philadelphia, taking her seat
in what she supposed was an ordinary
parlor car. There was but one other
occupant, q somewhat stout man who
sat with his back to her. Presently he
lighted q cigar and began to smoke.
The lady coughed and moved uneasily,
but her hints had no effect. She said
at last tartly:
"You probably are q foreigner, sir.
n do not know that there is a smok-
ing-car attached to the train. Smoking
h not permitted here"
The man without reply threw his
cigar out of the window.
A lew minutes later the conductor
entered and started at her in dismay.
How did you come here, madam"
he inquired.
"Why-where am ~"
I'm Gen. Grants private car"
The mortified lady's usual tact failed
her here. She looked at the dumb,
immovable figure. and ~retreated with
out q word.-Youth's Companion.
