AN FRESHMAN AND A JEW.
A Business Partnership That Has Been E
 tireIY ERtisfaotorY.

Business Partnership That Has Been En-
 tirely Satisfactory.
 There Is an up town business firm one of the members of which is an Irish. man and the other Jew The Irish man was born in Cork and the Jew in Craoow. They have been i'll partnership for several years, during which they have built up fourishing business. The Irishman is beardless; the Jew has flowing black beard. The Irishman is of the type of Rory O'Mooro; the Jew Is of the type of Moses.
 They are 0 mutual admiration pair. and each has a solid respect for the other. The Irishman is rare wit; the Jew Is solemn as tho Talmud. The Irish man has 0 fine Corkonian brogue; the native speech of the Jew is the Polish jargon. which he mixes with his Eng fish.
 The Irishman looks after the firm s finances; the Jew attends to the buying and selling. The Irishman is strict Catholic and goes to church on Sun day; the Jew is vigorously orthodox and goes to synagogue on Saturday.
 The Irishman is "pudgy;" the Jew is lean. They agreed never to talk upon religion, about which they disagree but. as the one is bimetallio Democrat and the other a Democratic monometal- list, they can always find subject for friendly argument
 The Irishman is older than the Jew, but the Jew Is taller than the Irishman. Both the Irishman and the Jew have large families, and the children of both attend the same school Most of the off spring of the Irishman are girls, and most of those of the Jew are boys.
 The fayorite tipple of tho Irishman is ale, and that of the Jew is wine The Irishman is quick tempered; the Jew is slow to wrath. These two business part ners. one of them from Cork and the other from Craeow, have carried on their establishment successfully for years in this city, have divided the profits evenly every quarter, have never had a quarrel that lasted more than a minute and have made enough money to raise them above the cares of life. Surely they deserve to grow rich New York Sun.

oreat rnorease In Public Libraries.

The New Hampshire law providing for the establishment of free public IL. braries through the agency of a board of library commissioners was passed In 1891. At that time there were 50 towns and cities in the state maintaining free libraries, and 178 were without any. The present record shows these figures exactly reversed. There are now only 30 towns which have no free public H. brary. while 173 are provided with them. The libraries recently established reach population of 100. 900. Boston Journal

THE WATCHER.

The influence of air and sky
 Arc side lights from the eternal throne That fall upon the watehful eye
 Of him who, silent, waits alone, And crown him master Of his own. He knows the beauty of the rose, The central sun; the farthest star he knows The balance of a blade of grass,
 The winds that in the meadows run, Gathering incense as they pass
 To offer to the throned sun
 The trembling secret to be won From every running stream, all these Are his. yet force him silent to his knees. The watcher shall possess the earth In silence, leaping to control In moments mighty with the birth Of passion, when the eternal soul Shall wholly bind him to the whole. The air and sky, the winds, the rose, Arc his, tho earth, yea God himself he
 knows.

the club that enjoy the most of all, is
the one to which my husband belongs"
The little town of Plattsmouth has
one Of the most wide-awake clubs in the
state. The membership is not very
large. but everyone takes a great inter-
est and some of the programs would do
credit to towns of a much larger popu-
lation. Mrs. II. NJ. Stoutenborough is
the president, and under her intelligent
and enthusiastic guidance the club is
making great progress.
The Dante, or Rose Cottage club, that
proved so interesting last year under the
leadership of Miss Phoebe Elliott. has
not been started this year. Miss Eli
Oft, who is the president of the wo-
mans club. says that she feels that she
has not the time to spare from the wo-
mans club this year. She is trying to
attend every department meeting and
thus keep in perfect touch with the
whole club.
Students musical recitals are, as a
general thing, interesting only to the
immediate friends and relatives of the
ones who take part on the program.
But owing to the kindness of heart of
many people there is usually a fair
audience out to hear a pupils recital.
IL one is interested i'm a certain young
musician and goes to each recital
where he happens to appear, and takes
notice of his progress from time to
time. then there is some interest i'm GO
ing to hear amateur performers. On
last Wednesday evening the pupils of
the university school of music gave
their third public recital The progra m
was short and most of the piano num-
bers We're studies or music so near like
studies that there was scarcely any diff
Terence. There were two voice numbers
given. one by Miss Gertrude Wright and
one by Miss Imogene Clinton. Miss
Wright sang THE Herdsman's Noun
tain Home" by Abt, and Miss Clinton
sang a serenade by Rosewig. Neither
of the young ladies did anything re-
markably well or remarkably bad.
They are. however. doing better work
than last year, and that shows that it
Is OF some use for them TO study music.
The piano numbers were played well.
One or two showed some individuality.
The selections were not of an interest,"
