A Lucky Purchase.

The Manchester Courier says that
just before the Zulu war there was in
Mauritius stamp collector who was a
friend Of the local postmaster. One day
he learned that there was to be clear
ance of old stock and obtained permits
sion to buy it all as waste. 1t occurred
to him that he might do the same at
other small colonial postoffices and ao-
quire stamps without difficulty. One Of
his Mauritius stamps he sold not long
ago for 81, $50, and, according to the
Manchester Courier, he has already

The next morning he went to school
in costume which differed wonderful

his face was smoothly shaved, and a
bright polish was visible on his boots.

John Sanders when Sam arrived in
the yard. "Just look at him, boys Say,
Sam, what's the matter with you any

"Oh, just want to look respectable,
that's all, :" said Sam. "You see we've

these circumstances that 1 should ap-
pear decent in the sohoolroom.
Sans four big schoolmates laughed
heartily at these words. They accepted
them as having been uttered in the
spirit Of jest.
"But, leavin all jokes aside, when
do we begin operations?" queried John.
II don't understand you," said Sam,
feigning ignorance.
"Why, when are we to take charge Of
this school and run it to suit ourselves?"
explained John.
'Boys, I'm not with you this term,"
replied Sam.

The school had been in session less
than 15 minutes when John sent pa

break of laughter followed, in which
nearly all the pupils participated.
Emboldened by this applause, John
threw several other balls. The teacher
detected him.
''Have you been throwing these paper
balls?" she asked, looking straight at
the perpetrator of the mischief.
"Yep," coolly replied John.
"You may come forward with your
book and stand on the floor, firmly
demanded the teacher.
II reckon not" said John.
"You must obey my command, or l
will be compelled to send you home, +"

had been warned by the very men who
employed her to conAder carefully the
step she was taking But this caused
her little concern. She apprehended no
difficulty. Her heart was filled with
confidence.
The pupils came into the house and
eyed the instructress. The big boys es-
pecially regarded the sohoolma am with
expressions Of mingled curiosity and dis
dain
Miss Thomas studiously inspected the
latter, as if attempting to single out a
particular one in the group Finally she
arose and approached Sam.
"Mr. Gaines, will you be so kind as
to bring in a bucket of water?" she ask
ed, with smile.
The manner and wording of this
speech completely amazed the big boy.
He nodded assent, and grasping the buck
ct hurried away, followed closely by
his four companions, who snickered
loudly when,they were on the outside.
''You stop your laughin, said Sam,
displaying considerable embarrassment.
''This girl understands eterquette.
There's nothin funny about that, as
can see.
When Sam returned to the room, the
teacher heartily thanked him. At the
same time she seized the opportunity to
inform the young man that she desired
to converse with him alone for mo-
| ment. Waving all the other pupils
away, she spoke to Sam in low voice.
''It is quite an undertaking to teach
this school, she said. There is much
hard work before me, and l would like
to do it well. have taught school for
two years, and my efforts have always
been crowned with success. This will
be my last term, and should greatly
regret making failure. 1t would be a
terrible humiliation. There is one way
by which l can succeed. 1t is by your
aid. With your help it will be an easy
task to teach this school. I take you to
be gentleman, Mr.. Gaines. May l not
hope to have your unqualified co-opera-
tion?'
Sam Gaines looked admiringly into
the beautiful face before him, and his
eyes met the girls, which imploringly
rested upon him. He was deeply moved
by the eloquent plea. He began to feel
a genuine pity for the teacher, and when
he gazed at the frail form his compass
sion was emphasized. The marked con-
sideration which Miss Thomas had
shown him also took effect in another
| direction. 1t produced in Sam senti-
ment of profound respect for the young
lady.
II have always been unruly in
school, he said, land many is the
teachers as hev feared me. But you ap-
pear like lady, and as far as am con.
cerned you shall hev no trouble. And
mebbe l can even assist you in keepin
others quiet. At any rate, you need not
be afraid that you will be rudely treated
while am around -
Scarcely had the pupils been seated
when the big boys glanced at Sam for 6
signal to begin creating disturbance
But Sam did not notice them. He gave
constant attention to his books. During
the whole day there was perfect order
| in the schoolroom.

home was obliged to pass the house IN

Wearing Jewels.

Ono interested in social customs and
who has watched New York women for
generation or more must havo been
struck by the fact that New Workers
have learned when and where and how
to wear jewels. One may occasionally
see diamonds worn during round of
morning shopping, but such wearers are
conspicuous, and woman who would
appear at hotel breakfast with her
fingers covered with expensive rings
would at once lose caste, no matter what
her personal recommendation might be.
