day 1 thought 1 would have more SYM
pathy, and took my little baby, though 1t
was bitter cold. In some of the houses
no one came to see what l wanted. L came
TO Christian street. 1t seemed to me this
name was SO sweet to hear that good peo-
pie must live here, and would help me,
but from Twelfth to Sixteenth streets l
got nothing.
'sWhen I stood on the corner of Sixteenth
street a letterman Cpostman) went to a
house. A lady in n white dress stood at the
for me. l told her what trouble L had and
that this was the first time in my life that
1 had went begging. When she saw my
little baby the tears turned in her eyes.
She went in and came back. She gave me
cakes and oranges and one dollar. Go
home, go home to your children she said.
Il hope your husband will soon get work.

was an angel. She kissed my little baby,

view 1OTK tribune.
It happened in a Fourth-avenue car; and
all the women eyed her In evy and awe.
and all the men were ready to wave their
hats and cheer her. She was a dame of
comfortable bulk. and was accompanied by
many bundles and a handsome little boy
of four willful years, sturdy of leg and in
dependent in aspect.
the women looked at one another's gar
ments; the men read their papers and
stared at the pr5ttieSt girls; the cOmfort3-
bic dame clasped her bundles, and the small
boy locked about for mischief. The con-
ductor came in, opened the stove door,
opportunity had come. and the small boy
was ready for il. He climbed down care
fully from his seat, strolled toward the
door, and looked contented.
Charlie said his mother, reprovingly,
while the conductor came in and shut the
door. Charlie gazed into the depths of his
internal consciousness until the conductor
had retired, then ne carefully and thought
Charles mother huddled her bundles un-
der one arm. arose and shut the stove door
admonished him sternly. The conductor
looked relieved. the women examined each
others hats. the men read their papers
Charles's mother lost herself in abstrac-
ton, no doubt concerning her shopping. and
Charles saw another opportunity. Again he
changed his base, advanced i'm a nonchalant
manner upon the stove and opened the door.
The conductor. who was taking n new fare
in the neighborhood, shut it again with a
suffering look. and the face Of the young
Gentleman's mother began TO grow red.
Charlie" she remarked, in decided tones,
IF you open that door again l shall whip
you"
Charles balanced himself on his short legs
and apparently fell into a reverie. His ex-
preston was intelligent. not TO say crafty.
There was q quiet space of about five min
utes. Then Charlie opened the door.
Charles mother laid aside her bundles,
walked down the car, seized her child, re-
turned to her seat, laid Charlie firmly over
her knee and spanked him then and there,
soundly and well. Then she lifted repentant
Charlie to the seat beside her and resumed
her bundles with an extremely red face,
and the car hammered OF, while all the
passengers sat and called that woman
blessed.

WHAT THE SIGN SAID.
And How the Meal Served Demonstrated It
 Told the Truth.


 Told the Truth.
 Walter Mansfield the board of trade at torney, Is a most enthusiastic sportsman and all expert with either rod or gun, but he will never permit his enthusiasm to stint his stomach. If at the moment he had his gun on a flying quail dinner and go to dinner
 When Mansfield goes out on one of his trips, he always locates a place where he can get good meal and so times his sport that he will reach it at the dinner hour. Once upon a time he went up on the Big Sulphur creek for days fishing and as he started out at day ybreak he saw little wayside shanty, in front of which stood a horse trough and sign, Hot Meals at All Hours" The trough did double serv- ice as drinking place for tired and dusty horses and a lavatory for the guests of the hotel.
 That's just the place." said Walter to himself. "I'll fish up stream and then down again, so that I'll reach here at noon."
 He carried out his programme, went to the 'hotel," where he rubbed soft soap around his neck and washed it off in the horse trough, and then seated himself at the wooden table. An old Missourian sat smoking in one corner and never budged or paid the slightest attention to Mans field who was nibbling at cracker he found on the table
 Well, where is my dinncr?" inquired the hungry sportsman.
 Thar" and the rancher aimed tn; stem of his pipe at the table.
 Why, your sign says Hot Meals at Al Hours.'' D

The Letter Carriers Burden.

"A round shouldered man has hard work as a postman," said an old letter carrier. 'The usual method of carrying a mail pouch is over the shoulder of the side on which the mail pouch hangs. This may seem awkward, it being the tendency of the strap to slip off the shoulder, and the entire weight bears upon one shoulder, yet it has proved to be the most conven- tent. It is general method, as you C. n sec by referring to the Pittsburg postoffice. There arc over 150 carriers and only one of them departs from tho usual method He throws the strap over the shoulder op- posite the one on which the pouch hangs. Carriers look at speed and convenience more than comfort. When the strap is thrown over tho left shoulder, it leaves the right hand and arm freo to collect and hand out mail. Left handed men always carry the strap upon tho right shoulder.
 "Yes, the weight is sometimes excess i've. To take out 100 pounds of mail on ono trip is no uncommon thing. Think of U hundred pounds supported by one shoulderl Naturally this causes a con tinued unnatural position of the body, so that postmen always have one shoulder higher than the other. The high shoulder bears the weight. Bearing such burden on a hot day is no pleasant task, can as sure you. "-Pltrsburg Dispatch

Pedantic Flower Names.

The herbalists in preparing samples were responsible for as many flower names as lovers were in making posies. Eye bright, Feverfew, Fleabane, are well enough, and so is Tutsan-that is, toute- saine-the countryman's name for St. Johns Wort for, as Gerarde says, "the leves, 1oures and seeds stamped and put into glasse with oile olive and set in the sunne for certain weekes doth make an oile of tho color of blood, which is a most pretious remedy for depe wounds, and those that are thorow the body ns All Heal, or Woundwort, however is another plant - Stachy's palustris - useful for stanching bleeding.
 But the doctrine of signatures, whereby the fancied resemblance of parts of plants to organs in the human body was held to indicate their healing properties, produced some ugly names We prefer to call the pretty spring flower hepatiac rather than Liverwort, though both mean the same thing, because the leaves resemble the shape of the human liver. The pulmona- ria is pleasanter name than Lungwort.
 Yet there is an aroma about the old world names which is wanting in the pe- dantic precision of Latin classification Howbeit it is not every one who thinks so. Not long since an enthusiast was showing a sympathetic but inexpert friend the glo- ries of his rock garden, and drew his att tention to the trailing sprays of a pretty creeper Ut is very like Creeping Jenny" remarked the visitor Ut is Creeping Jen- n.y." confessed the proprietor, but we don't call it so on a rock work. It is Ly simachia nummularia aurea. "-Saturday Pavioxu
