Dressing Children AIike.

L never saw a family of girls out in
dresses of the same sort without deep
wave of pity for them rolls over my
soul" said very intelligent and
wealthy woman, as she noted dress
alike family passing down the street
I remember when 1 was a little girl
it was though quite the correct thing
to dress the children olike; SO a piece
of goods was bought, the stereotyped
number of hats, just so many sprays
OF flowers, just so many yards of ribbon
and material for the regular number Of
cloaks, sacques or jackets, as the case
might be. Sometimes we wore shawls
and oh. wasn't that a delightful hap
pening when, by no hook or crook
could two shawls be found alikel
"One year we were to have shawls,
but because there could be no Uniform
ity, for the reason that the assortment
contained only those differing widely in
style and color, the idea of shawIs was
abandoned altogether and we were put
into long cloaks of gray Irish frieze,
ana oh, how angry and disguised we
were. There were two or three families
in our neighborhood that adhered to
this custom; others dressed as unlike
as possible, and those 'unlikers' were
the objects Of no end of envy on the
be difficult for any person who has not
been through the experience to imagine
how desperately tired we grew of our
clothes. and equally tired, of course
of those of our sisters, for they were
exactly the same. The only advantage
that I can now see, as I look back.
was that if the elder sister hadn't
worn her dress out, the next one could
take it and nobody knew the difference.
This was the only grace that 1 ever
discovered in the left-overs, and sec
ond-hand clothes arrangement of the
family. 1t seems to me little less than
cruelty to deprive children of the va
riety and pleasure of original and pretty
garments I used to think as we sat
in church that we resembled a row of
little brown jugs of assorted sizes when
we were arrayed in our sombre gar
ments. Pink, blue, white and scarlet
are children's colors, and it seems in
judicious and unwise to do them I'D in
dull tints like animated brown paper
packages. There are dullness and mo-
notony and soberness enough in life
without bringing them into the dresses
and honnets of little girls-New York

cHokEp BY CAPSULES.
A Fresh Drug Clerk Almost Kills a
Young Man in Buffalo.

Young Man in Buffalo.
A. L. Hustled had been eating too
many sweets and things during the
holidays and wasn't feeling very well.
Last night his mind went back to the
days of his childhood and he remem-
bered that when he felt that way after
Christmas back in the 70s, his mother
used to ladle him out large and
|slippery dose of caster OIL
So Mr.. Hustled escorted his recollec-
ton over to Lyman & Sloan's apothe-
cary shop and then aired it before the
SNUG and clipper clerk.
How much oil do you want?' asked
the clerk.
Now Mr.. Hustled didn't know. The
exact quantity had been lost to him
by the scuffie that usually attended
its administration. From his remem-
brance of the state he thought it must
be three or four gallons, but he was
reasonably sure it was less. So he
made a mental compromise and
answered airily.
ooh, a couple or so of tablespoon
fuls."
Capsule or glass?" queried the
clerk.
That castor oil could be taken with
out that dismal taste was news to
Mr.. Hustled, but he welcomed it and
said briefly:
Capsule"
So the clerk went back and pried
one out of a case and logged it up to
the counter. It was about the size of
a Rugby football and looked as yellow
as the oil tastes. Mr. Hustled ventured
to remark that it looked large. The
clerk smiled pityingly, as one who is
accustomed to see castor oil swallowed
by the barrelful. Mr.. Hustled protested
that his throat was not large enough.
The clerk laughed aloud.
So with all hope gone and more than
half wishing he hadn't been so remin-
iscent Mr.. Hustled boosted the bolus
up with both hands and made a gag
at it.
In less than half minute Mr.. Hus-
ted was lying on the floor clutching
febly at his throat with both hands
and kicking hard with both legs for
lack of other profundity, while the
clerk, his hauteur laid aside like a
linen buster, was shrieking through
the telephone for all the doctors within
Krupp gun range.
Two minutes more and Mr.. Hustled
was lying exhausted on the counter
and one of the attendant corps of
physicians was holding out something
that looked like set of sailors oil
skins which he had just nShed out or
the Hustedian aesophagus.
The doctor told the clerk that it was
a careless thing to do to a man. The
clerk. who had recovered his self-con-
fidence, said he could take those cap
|sules as easily as he could Little Rocks.
and went back and got one to prove
it by.
That clerk knows better now. The
doctors fished the remnants of the
capsule out of him quicker than they
did out of Mr.. Hustled only because
they didn't have to be telephoned for.
The clerk says doctors do know
something. Mr.. Hustled wishes he was
a boy again.-Chicago Times.

She Wanted q Bouauet.

A little girl, poorly clad, and with a
small coin tightly clenched in her hand.
hastily entered the store of a fash
ionable florist.
'I want the best bouquet you can
give me for 10 cents she said to a
clerk, who smiled audibly at her re-
quest.
I'D advise you to wait till next sum-
mer, missy" he said, in patronizing
way "Flewers don't grow in green
house for nothing
The snub was lost on the child, who
said eagerly:
Next summer won't be sister Liz
zie's birthday, and tomorrow is. Be
sides, 1 don't want them for nothing.
I told you l had 10 cents
She was as grand as though it had
been SO.
Go where the woodbine twineth,' y
caroled the clerk, I'VE have no 10-cent
bouquets here
The child looked at him with incredu-
lous eyes. How could he speak so
lightly of what appeared to her like
actual wealth. Tears of cruel disap-
pointment rose in her eyes, and she
turned away.
A yong girl who was tying up flow
ers had overheard this dialogue and
was sorry for the child. She whis-
pered hurriedly to the clerk: There
are the waste flowers, Mr.. Smith. They
haven't been thrown away yet, and
some of them lock pretty fresh"
The girl was so much in earnest that
the clerk called ungraeiously to the
child
Come back little one. Here are
some roses and pinis that aren't as
fresh as they might be. You can have
them for nothing if they'll suit" and
he tossed them to her.
They not only suited. but they
seemed to the grieyed heart of the
child as fresh and beautiful as those
in the window. Her shining eyes and
thankful words caused a little satisfied
glow in the sallow cheeks of the care
less clerk. He had helped another to
do a kind deed, and the reflection of
it warmed his own nature. Lizzie S

STARTED TOO QUICK.
Kansas City sweITs Buggy Ride
With His Best Girl.

She was shapely chestnut mare
from Kentucy, and the patrician blood
of a, long line of Blue Grass ances-
tors gurgled through her swelling
veins.
When she paused before the ladies'
entrance of the Coates House the other
afternoon she was hooked to a new
buggy that had just been turned out
of the shop. In that buggy was a
pinl-cheeked. youngish-looking man,
with q. yellow flower in his button hole.
He got out of the vehicle and fastened
one end of the stout hftehing strap to
an iron post. The other end of the
strap engirdIed the arching neck of
the proud Kentucky mare.
The pink-cheeked man went into the
hotel
There was a lonely interval of ten
minutes and then the pink-cheeked
man reappeared on the pavement. With
him was a maiden in a tailor-made
gown, with a huge cluster of roses at

riage. The Kentucky mare never as
much as turned her head.
rs this love of a horse really tame
and safe?" queried the dainty maid
as she settled in her seat.
CAS- safe as You are charming. Just
watch her step off, replied the pink
checked man, as he jumped into the
buggy and gathered up the lines.
The maiden smiled and her escort
touched the mares flank with his whip.
And then-the mare gave a jump and
the maiden a. genuine scream. The
man was thrown half way over the
dashboard 1t took four men and ten
minutes time to bring order out of
chaos, but only five lonely seconds for
the maiden to jump out Of the buggy
and the pink-cheeked man to intone a
remark that is to strong for publica-
ton.
If you ask Mickie Finnegan, who
witnessed the performance, what
caused all the trouble, he will say:

MEN AS VAIN as WOMEN.
Watch Them as They Pass a Mirror
and See for Yourself.

The vanity of woman is an ac-
knowledged fact that has been the sub
ject of much ridicule on the part of
the sterner sex, who appear to forget
when they are throwing stones of this
character that they themselves are
not altogether without flaws. In fact.
though little is said about it, man
is quite as vain as a woman. and
shows 1t in as open a. manner. and.
according to the Kansas City Times.
this can be proved if people but stop
to watch the vancouver of some we'll
dressed masculine as he walks down
the street or takes his ride abroad.
either in cars or. on boats. The mirror
IN shop window is as irreSistibly al
tractlVe to man as to a woman. and
1t is not always the youngest and best
dressed men, either that seem to ex-
tract considerable enjoyment in re-
earding their own reflection. ShabbiIv
dressed old men will loiter before a
mirror and examine their image with
as much anxiety as does the voung
beau starting out to his first dance
Wherever a mirror is to be seen there
will be, if you will but notice it. and
though it may sound like a sweeping
assertion, there are far more pocket
mirrors carried by men than nv
women, and these are brought into
play whenever man has a few
minutes time to spare
These statements are not made to
run down the character of the men.
but to show that vanity lives alike in
both sexes. Perhaps, after all. it is
not vanity that prompts men and
women to scan their images so care
fully whenever the opportunity is Of
fered for so doing. but it may be the
innate desire to detect faults if there
are any, and rectify them as Speedily
when they are discovered. They are
frequently actions that are attributed
to vanity, but which are only the out
come of a desire to look as well as
possible in what one wears. and GER
tainly this spirit is to be commended
instead of cried down. It is our DUTY
to look as well as we can, and if. after
a study of our own reflection. we can
make an improvement on what we see
there can be nothing hurtfuI in such
a proceeding. Therefore, when the
preacher declares that .all is vanity"
it might, perhaps, be translated into
meaning only an overcareful attention
to the details of ones dress and per
sonal adornment without and undue
|self-love as a natural adjunct.
