A HARDENED YOUNG MAN.
Possibly He Had Escorted Some
Shopper Around Before.

Shopper Around Before.
Several hundred people laughed
themselves to the verge of Mysteries
in well-known uptown dry goods
store. They made merry and con-
Quoted themselves hilariously. And
there was very little of humorous
nature in evidence, either. It seems
that rather dudish young gentle
man had been beguiled by his sweet
heart, presumably, or possibly by
his pretty sister, into accompanying
her on a shopping expedition. But
the youth was better fortified than
most men when they are thus be-
guiled. He knew his business, and
it was not cold night. He carried
a cane which he promiscuously -four
ished at random, and emphasized his
remarks by series of imaginary
Fluctuations.
According to the manner of wom-
en- the young lady talked. She com
mented upon everything in sight,
and when a feature of unusual inter-
est would strike her vision she
would exclaim:
''Oh, is not that perfectly lovely?
How much I should like to have It'll"
The cold hearted, rd-hearted,
matter of-fact-and- young
man would audibly and sympathet-
ically observes:
well, if you want it so very bad,
why don't you take out your pocket
book and buy it with your own
money!" At this the large multi
tude within long-distance earshot
would let themselves loose and
laugh. Washington News,

Paste This in Your Desk.

How many people know how to
send a stamp in aletter? Nine peo-
pie out of ten stick it so carefully
down that the recipient always loses
his temper, and generally his stamp,
in the effort to release it. 1t is
really more exasperating than when
the sender forgets altogether the
stamp be should have inclosed, for
then, at least, it is not wasted.
Even the most extravagant of US
seldom have souls above saving a
stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer
to us than the two cents it repre-
sents. The tenth person sends it
loose, which is well enough, provid-
ing it does not slip out unseen and
vanish, as these totally depraved
small things have q trick of doing.
The proper way is very simple one.
Cut with sharp penknife two par
aIlel Sits at the top of your letter,
and slip in your stamps, which will
thus travel as safely as if in a special
paper case. Perhaps you have been
in country village where money
orders and postal notes are unknown,
and for some reason it becomes
necessary to send change in letter.
Cut piece of light cardboard the
size of the envelope, and from this
cut circular pieces the size of your
coin. Insert the coins and paste a
strip Of paper across one or both
sides.-Demorest's Magazine

ton cold and cut blocks with a ra-
zor." This misapplication of fine
instruments to ordinary purposes,
remarks the Interior, and the let
ting the mutton cool while the ante
prandial orator ''goes on refining"
has humor and righteousness in
itself, not always apparent, how
ever, to those who are the objects of
it. It is not until the joke passes
beyond the immediate and original
audience that its full flavor is APP
preciated and the long-delayed
laugh comes as its echo. This is one
of the compensations of many Incl
dents in life which at the
time are far from humorous, and, in
fact, often provoke Indignation and
sometimes lead to hasty words and
actions which we afterwards regret
when the humor of the whole occur
renee strikes US. To eat mutton
cold, for instance, though but a
passing prandial affection, at the
time seems very remote from humor-
Gus ideas, and unless the English
juryman is much maligned he would
sooner hang man than to miss the
right turn of the roast or sup on cold
mutton.
The haec fabula docet is obvious.
The part of wisdom, and, in fact, the
chief difference between a rash man
and philosopher is this self -projec-
ton into the future so that one may
be able to look back upon the pres
ent annoying incident when it is
bathed in the sunny atmosphere. If
we may believe George Herbert:
All things big with jest; nothing that's
But may be witty. if thou hast the vein
But to correct poetry by prose
and one English classic by another,
along with Herbert's declaration
that "all things are big with Jest"
it is well to remember Addison's dis
tinction between true and false
humor The genealogy of true aud
false humor Addison sets down as
Falsehood Truth
Nonsense. Good Sense.
Frenzy Laughter. " it Airth.
False Humor. True Humor
To still further aid in discriminate
ing true humor from false humor,
as Addison phrases them, let US call
to our aid two other great humor-
lists, Washington Irving and John
Bunyan. Honest good humor,"
says Irving, SIS the oil and wine of
merry meeting, and there is no jo-
vial companionship equal to that
where the jokes are rather small and
the laughter abundant And as to
false humor, plain John Bunyan's
still palmer rhyme draws the dis
tinction perfectly:
Some things are OF that nature as to make
Ones fancy chuckle while his heart doth ache.
Honest good humor is great con-
stituent in happiness in life. AS to
wit, unless of the kindly sort, and
in that case it may be included in
good humor, it may be valuable in
giving sense of intellectual SUI
premacy. but it never makes friends,
and, SO far as happiness is con-
cerned, one is better without it.
Like a sharp-edged tool, wit needs
to be most carefully handled, while,
as regards genuine good humor, it
is like the sun and the pleasant
light of day making all things beau
tifuI and yiyifying and strengthen
