In the Far North,

The thane of Coon creek perceived, the
moment Alfredo entered the room with n
delicate flush upon her check, that Athcl-
stane, the bowlegged. had been calling
again.
What, no, daughterl' exclaimed the old
warrior
With lowered glance and trembling
limbs she advanced.
Pa" she murmured timidly, "he has
spoken"
The parent turned pale with sudden fore
boding
What said the YOUTH" he sternly de-
manded.
"llc asked me if could return"-
She fatered. The great drops of per.
SEPARATION stood upon the brow of the chief
tain.
What, child? Speak, com mand youp'
Ills love-" said the maiden, simply.
great sigh of relief broke from the lips
of the thane
'Iia" he cried. "Then he said naught of
the umbrella l borrowed of him last week?
Return his lover That were dead easy"
In his JOY the proud father bought was
sail for the crowd.-Puck.

Working For q HOLIDAY.

An Englishman stopping at one Of the
hotels was commenting upon the ex-
treme restlessness and incessant 20 of
Americans. He said, "You Americans
have such beastly idea of the compen.
sation Of work"
What do you mean?" questioned a
Pittsburger standing near by.
"Oh, you people work for money" was
the explanation.
81 don't see anything beastly about
that" was the retort. MAY ask for
what you Englishmen work."
"Why, we work for our holiday" was
the reply.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

About ODals.

The prejudice against opals appears to
be disappearing. Anyhow they are pop-
ular. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit
The precious, or noble, or oriental opal
Is the supreme. This has all the colors,
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Then comes the fire opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow reflec
ton. The former comes from Hungary.
the latter from Mexico. The common,
semiopals, are nonopalescent The hy-
drophane, or oculns mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
IN water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of blu
ish white color. The hyalite is colorless,
pellucid and white. The opal jasper or
wood opal is the petrifaction of wood,
opalescent, but without the coloring
which makes the noble" gem so pre-
cious.-Chicago Tribune.

DESCRIBE YOUR FRIEND.
And Then SEQ How Well Your Picture VIII
Fit Scores of Others

And Then SEQ How Well Your Picture VIII
Fit Scores of Others.
HE was young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore dark suit; was about S
feet III height and looked like married
man. Anybody would know him." Such
was the description turned in by young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editors office and wanted to advertise
Tor Chalmers. 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home, and nobody knew why,
and this young woman had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back 1t WAS Il good example
OIL the average persons power of descrip.
ton of a fellow being.
1t is totally inadeQuatel Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in.
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp a
thorough idea OF his appearance with
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex.
pound to him that such and such a man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is jumbled lot
OF phrases which apply to the human
race i'll general.
The other day when rushed into my
office room with u column story OH the
emu OF my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, TO be more accurate-I was given
this greeting:
"Hellol man has just been in to see
you"
what did he look like!"
"Oh, he was Il good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much so.''
"Was he old or young"
About 20 or %, l should say"
What color of hair?'
81 don't remember now. However. I
don't think he had Il mustachc."
Glow drcsscd!"
"Oh, just an ordinary business suit"
Have You ever heard such descrip-
ton? If not, watch yourself next time
you tex of some ones call You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race.
Why is il?
L don't know. We read in books that
It's because we don't cultivate the habit
OF intelligent observation.
There was once a boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then aftcrward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. AT first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught i'll the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in show window by merely seeing it
once.-Boston Herald.
