q Woman Showed Herself Too Smart FOR
Her Landlord.
They met in a street car, and the wo-
man with q golf cape remarked:
''I see you still have the same house. "
"Yes, and at the same rent" remark
cd the woman with the ostrich boa
''But / thought your landlord had
decided to raise itp''
HE did, but somehow didn't ex-
pect to move, though Tom gave up the
house at once. You see, ] really can't
afford to have any more bric-a-brac
smashed in moving wagons I've lost
enough already to stock department
store"
$50 you have decided not to mover"
"Not quite, dear. You see, I told the
landlord that was sorry to move, but
we really couldn't afford higher rent
and that I myself would gladly show
the house to intending tenants Then
I set every room in order and waited. :"
"Well. i"
"Well, I really thought that the first
woman that came would take it. /
praised the closets and told her what
swell neighbors we had and"-
"But / thought you didn't want
to-
mo, dear, but just as she wm@ leav-
ing casually mentioned the fact that
two persons had died Of typhoid fever
in the next house above and one two
doors below. She seemed somewhat ag-
itated, and when called oat the land
lords address after her she didn't seem
| much interested"
''But, Maggie, you know that was'-
''Some time ago? Yes. but never
could remember dates, and the people
did die"
"Well, did she''-
| Never went near. The bedrooms
were too small for the next people, and
! the next ones were delighted, but thought
the rent rather dear. Then ] remarked
that Immediately after luncheon / In

lovely little house in the next square OF

which house, and / noticed that they
turned that corner.
How could you? Well, did she''-
"Well, you know, it was cheaper
and if they had taken our house l shoult
have been obliged to rent that, for i
was near enough to have my bric-a-bra'

Your landlord told me that Swall

"They did, but after Mrs. Swellstyle

THE BUSINESS GIRL.

She Expresses Her Opinion Of Men. Matri-
mopy and Money.
The social philosopher had been pet
ting her chin in an absurdly hayseedish
manner, and as the thoughtful panorama
was ominously regarded as forerunner
of q more or less prolonged lecture she
didn't dare disappoint her admiring pet
ticoated audience. SO she said:
ut seems to me that the very mo-
ment that young woman shows ability
in any chosen profession about 500 or
dinarily charming and lovely individ-
uals rise up like solicitous hens over o
weak legged chicken and implore her
not to spoil her good work by tumbling
into the matrimonial tank"
"Huh!" puffed the girl who always
interrupts, "'the motherly hens had
better wait until she gets good chance.
Then they see how quickly Yes, sir.
I'm yours, could be said.
"What nonsense" the social philoso-
pher deigned to answer. Every girl
has opportunities to marry, but no girl
in her right mind is going to blindfold
herself to the dozens Of things to be con-
sidered. There's the money question,
for instance That always comes first,
for If you are business woman, earn.
ing fairly decent salary, it is absurd
to marry a man who receives bat little
more Diamond tastes and window glass
purses make a mighty unsatisfactory
combination, my dear. Besides perhaps
you are fond of your work and dislike
household managing, but If you go down
to business every day people will look
wise and say mean things, and you'll
wish yourself unlocked from your mat
rimonial venture.
Perfect men are SO hard to find tool
Now, what girl could endure bald
head or a red nose, even If it went with
loads of wealth and bushels of love?
Why, in less than six weeks she'd be
making the poor man wear a frilled cap
and prepared chalk nose. A mans
good looks go long way with girl,
I'm ashamed to confess, and jerky
manner of talking, or sissy walk, or

make q girls teeth grind and her tenn

she's really and truly in love- Then he

TO ORPHANS ONLY
Can IL. A. Pearson's
Bequest Be Devoted.
Judge Coffey InCIined to Exclude All
Institutions Not Exclusive in
This Respect.

Judge Coffey is having hard time set
tling certain differences that have arisen
regarding the distribution of Hiram A.
PearSOn's estate.
The dead capitalist bequeathed $500, 0OO
of his vast fortune TO be divided in equal
proportions among the various orphan
asylums of the city. And now all the
benevolent institutions of the city are
fighting for the bequest, and an endeavor
is being made by those institutions spe-
ciaily designated as oIphanages to exclude
from participation those institutions that
are not exclusively devoted to this work.
And from several remarks let fall by
Judge Coffey yesterday morning 1t would
seem that this is the view at present taken
by his Honor
In speaking of the matter Judge Coffe Y
said that the words "orphan asylums" did
not appear to include such undertakings
as the Youths Directory, the Girls
Directory, ST. Francis School, the
Boys and q rls' AID Society, on the
ground that the last-naned institutions
had other objects than the exclusive care
OF orphans. Again, with these lDsttu-
tions, 1t was often rule not TO keep
orphan children longer than three months
at tlme-in fact not longer than was
absolutely necessary. These places were
more In the nature OF reformatoTy schools.
or homes of refuge, than actual orphan
asylums. Their prototypes were to be
found in New York City in the Children's
AID Society and the House OF Protection,
Tor Juvenile delinquents.
His Honor, however, decided that he
would hear evidence from the representa-
tives of these institutions. Tnereupon
Attorney Raymond. representing the
Girls Directory Orphan Asylum" as he
styled it. produced the books of that inst
tuition, showing thai their inmates con-
sisted of orphans. hali-orphans aud aban-
doned children, all ranging 10 age from .
weeks to 13 years. Mr.. Raymond con-
tended that this institution deserved in
every way TO rank as a legitimate orphan
asylum and to participate in Mr. Pearson's
bequest.
Mr.. Raymond was cross-examiued by
Attorney Haight, representing the Pro-
te tant Orphan Asylum, an updisputed
beneficiary under Mr.. Pears0n's will.
After Ibis Judge COffey ordered the mat
t-r continued Tor the production of more
evidence.
