What . Man Thinks of the Things . We

Julius is going to have a birthday next
month, and I just can't decide what to
give him, !" sighed the girl in the shawl
cape. "Of course it must be- my own
handiwork; that will be its chief value to
him. thought perhaps you could help me
out with suggestion. 1 remember what
lovely things you used to make Jack.
"H m! Yes; but that was before we
were married, my dear, - replied the young
matron in the plaid waist.
ooh, Emily, you haven't given it up al
ready. And 1 thought you were model
wifel''
81 am, my dear; that may have some
thing to do with it, Do you happen to re-
member that lovely blotter l painted him
for the first birthday after we became en-
gagedf'
why, yes, and 1 thought perhaps
"Did you? Well, after we were married
found it among his things. The plotting
paper was untouched, in spite of the fact
that he had assured me it was in constant
use.''
"And hadn't he used it at alp"
"Oh, yes; the cover had served as pom

Julius one like it?''
''Of course you could. I found that,
too, after we were married. His pipes were
wrapped up in it. He said it was awfully
useful-he wouldn't have had that mee-
schaum scratched for anything"
There was a moments silence in the
room then the girl in the shawl cape
spoke. AFTER all, - she said, they were
not very useful gifts. 1 had thought of
something useful"
''Such as headrcst or a shoebag per-
hnps Jack apologized for the appearance
of the headrest l had embroidered for
him. He said it had saved him from catch
ing an awful cold the night he used it to
stop the pane of glass he had broken in
his bedroom window. OF course it wasn't
his fault that it rained that night, though
had rather counted upon using it for his
big loungirg chair after we were mar
ried -
ooh, we'll, Julius is different. He is
careful abe Is his things, and I should like
him to have something in daily use which
would constantly remind him of me"
I'M Inn! That was just what Laura
said about Ralph. He was careful of tho
things she gave him-e1ceedingly careful
indeed. He kept them in a trunk in the
attic. Why, when they finally ouarreled
and he sent them back, she said that moth

He was a sedately dressed man whose
countenance was thoughtful and whose
literary taste, as shown by the books which
he carried with him to read on the train,
indicated that he was man Of learned at
tainments. Even the brakeman was
moved to assume respectful manner. AS
he leaned over him to open the window he
said:
Excuse me, professor"
The old gentleman was on his feet in an
instant, his eyes flashing angrily.
Needn't git mad" the brakeman said.
GIVE gotter ten to me business.
81 don't care how much you attend to
your business. But don't you ever again
call me anything but mister. Don't you
dare to call me professor. 1 am neither a

gler, and have therefore no right to the
title. "-Washington Star.

I stopped and he came down to the walk.
He was dilapidated man about 40 years
old, and there was pathos in his voice as
he began:
''For 20 years have been drunkard
and a spendthrift. In that time 1 have
squandered $500, 0OO.'
Eyes" l said.
''Drink has led to other things. I am
liar, and a thief, and swindler."
Eyes; you look it,
81 sat down in that doorway an hour
ago. he continued, 'tto plot a burglary. 1
got to thinking of homo, mother, child
hood, and the result is that I have made
up my mind to reform. Yes, sir, from this
hour am changed man"
81 am glad of it. -
"And you will aid me?''
"What is it you want?''
''Sir, L desire to reform and take my
place among the respectable people OF

There's nothing cheap about your 7

mo, sir-no sir, - he answered, "noth-
ing cheap about me. l want a genuine
reform or none at all. 1t will cost $50, 600
in cash If you can loan me that sum, I'll
begin the reform movement by taking a
drink and getting shaved. Will you do it
or not?'

your power to restore me to the ranks of
society. You refused. The result is upon
your own head. Go on, sir, GO on, and let
me say right here and now that of all the

asked, somewhat falteringly, in the tone
of a man who is going to ask a favor.
''If were not asleep" murmured the
