And His Wife Wished to Thank the
Girl Who Broke Him In.
From the Boston Traveller.
What wonder that Harold Hustleton was
proud and happy. Had he not won the
heart and hand of the fairest and loveliest
girl in the whole town?
Harold could scarcely believe in his good
luck. And as he sat by her side and
watched the evening star glimmering
family above the orange flush which
marked where the sun had sunk behind the
hills he felt moved to ask her the four
teenth question of the Lovers Catechism.
l. e., "How had it happened that she had
chosen him out of all the men in her wide
circle of acquaintances to be responsible for
her future happiness?
Surely she must have known better fel-
lows than he was," he urged; richer and
handsomer and more athletic. Why had
she chosen him" ~
replied Ada, ,as she gently pushed back the
hair from his forehead. You have a great
many traits which none OF my other friends
possess. You, are so thoughtful Of my well
to my slightest wish. I think it was those
things which first won me to you, and
have never regretted it; for, Harold, you
are simply an ideal lover"
"Oh, my darling, you don't know how
glad I am to hear you say So" he ex-
her tenderly, =

what you are" continued Ada.

young newspaper man working his way

an old fellow who had worked his way

AS soon as the old man got hold of the
property he began to look around to find
out where he could save a few dollars in
the running expenses. Several weeks pass
ed before he ventured a suggestion. Said
he: DO you know that fellow in the little
room upstairs-the fellow who works with
a pair of shears and paste pot?'
why, yes; that is Tompkins. the ex-
change editor" said the manager
'Tompkins? Yes, that's his name. Well
you want to keep your eye on him. In
fact. IL you take my advice you'll give him
the grand bounce next pay day."
why? He is one Of the best men on the

Don't you believe it. I have been
watchin' him unbeknownst for days, and
/ give you my word n honor he don't do a
blasted thing from sun to sun except sit
there with his feet cooked up and read
newspapers. Fire him! He Is soldering,

With great difficulty the manager made
the irate proprietor understand that 1t was
the business of the exchange editor to read
and that the more he read the
better his work was likely to be.

Why Such asLnrGe Number of Servants
Arc Incompetent.
From the Quarterly Review.
At present an Immense proportion of the
women throughout London never have been
trained in proper household work, and so
are quite incompetent to supervise and to
direct the daily. monthly. yearly cleansing
of their rooms. Among the working class,
the mothers. mostly, are brought up in
general neglect Of things required for per-
sonal and family respect and comfort in
their homes, and consequently are incapa-
BILE Of teaching what they do not know or
practice. Thus we find that most domestic
servants are unframed and uninstructed
since both mistresses and mothers are
themselves unqualified for detailed and ex-
perienced direction. There are said to be in
London many thousand servants out of
p1ace-a somewhat satisfactory announce
ment; to be out of place is on the whole,
the fittest place for them. OF the whole
number probably not one in twenty is ex-
perienced or instructed in her business
and but few are even willing to be taught
to work efficiently.
Not fit to be received in any decent house.
they can but make the houses that they
enter even filthier than before, while taking
pay to make these houses clean; and, doing
little more than busting, without method
or efficiency, each year their incapacity ap-
pears to be increasing. Without manners
and with little reverence even for them
selves: unframed, and ignorant, and dirty;
fashionably dressed in the most sordid
style: untrustworthy and incompetent, they
eventually become the punishment Of those
who SO unfortunately marry them, and are
a chief cause of the loose, spendthrift hab-
its of our workingmen. These working
people for the most part have no comfort
in their homes; their meals are so ILL
cooked and badly served that drink appears
to be the only gustatory pleasure left for
men; and thus the public house becomes
the recognized relief and questionable So.

A Misplaced KISS

From the Philadelphia Record
Two young men, who were neatly duped
by a good-looking girl at Mineral Springs
Park not long ago. have decided that there
is no fun in riding on a toboggan, any
how. They were not acquainted with each
other. nor with the young lady whose fore
sight proved such a source of embarrass-
ment to them. but all three crowded to-
gether on the front seat of a toboggan car,
with the girl in the middle The principal
feature of this slide is a darksome tunnel,
where many cooling couples surreptitiously
engage in osculation. and where the sur
roundings are generally masculine arms.
When this point was reached each young
man resolved to kiss that girl. They did
not time the operation correctly, however,
and when the car emerged from the dark
ness the spectators sent up mighty shout
of laughter. The youths had been detected
in the act of saluting each other. for the
girl had OWNED their intentions and had
leaned forward in the hope of producing
just such q result.
