He Didn't Know the Ropes.

General Morgan of Illinois, VINO COM
manded a brigade in Davis division
vas one of those men so slouchy in MS
appearance that a stranger would never
have picked him for an officer of high
rank. One day a raw recruit of his
brigade who had lost some books asked
a veteran where he might be likely to
find them. The veteran said the only
thief in the brigade was Jim Morgan
who occupied tent near the blue flag.
Tie recruit FASTENED to Morgans tent
showed his head in through the flaps,
and asked:
Does Jim Morgan live here?'
MY name is James Morgan" an
swered the General
''Then I want you to hand over those
books you stole from me"
Il have none of your books, my dear
man.
That's lie," cried the soldier. "The
boys say you are the only thief In camp
Turn out them books or I'll grind your
carcass into applesass."
General Morgan appreciated the Joke
and laughed heartily, but when the re-
cruit began pulling off his coat to make
good his threats, the officer informed
him of his relations to the brigade
WAL, blast me if I'd take you for a
Bcigadier," said the man. Excuse me

UP TO TIME.
She Gave the Young Man Something
to Guess About.

There is a young journalist in New
York who prides himself ON his cpl
grams and repartee, says "Harper's Ba-
EAR" 1t is usually the occasion that
prompts the remark, rather than the
person to whom he addresses it. If
it is good one, he remembers it and
uses it in his business. Sometimes he
gets as good as he sends and from the
least expected quarters.
The other day he rushed into dairy
lunchroom, nor far from Park Row, to
get a belated bite.
Can l have two poached eggs on
toast in hurry?" he asked of the
waitress, who was pretty enough to be
stupid. He looked up at the clock as
he spoke, and saw that there were no
hands on it. So he added, loosely:
Il see it is later than I thought
I'm hurry?" said the waitress, Whose
eyes followed his glance Why, you
can have those eggs in no time-by the
clock
What's the matter with the clock,
any how?" inquired the journalist
Has it struck"
ooh, yes, it has struck lots of tines
answered the waitress; "but this time
it's a lockout
"a lockout? I don't quite under
stand" queried the newspaper man,
puzzled for once.

Hebe; don't you see they've laid off

WHY SHE WAS ANGRY.
The Stout Lady's Experience With a
Penny Slot Machine.

It was noon at a quick-lunch reStau-
rant, and nearly every place was occu-
pied by hungry individual, when a
stout lady entered The only spot she
saw vacant was at the end of counter
and here there stood penny-in-the
slot weighing machine, relates the Bos-
ton Globe
AS she was in a hurry. she concluded
tc stand on the scales, after having sat
Isfied herself that they would not op-
crate and reveal her weight unless she
put in a coin, and this was far from her
intentions.
She was short and plump. and the
platform of the scales brought her up
to very convenient hight at the coun-
ter. She ordered her lunch, and, after
looking around at the dial of the ma
chine to reassure herself that she was

Just then two rather sporty chaps
came in. They noticed the woman on
the scales at once. She had pretty
face, if not an attractive figure. for the
latter certainly attracted attention.from
it's size.
I'll bet you the dinners she weighs
over 2OO," said one of the sports.

how can we tell which wins? The ma

and I'll give you a dime"
Let's see yer dime" said the boy
with worldly cautiousness.
There you are and the sport put
tine money in the urchins hand.
The latter found his task an easy one,
for the victim was very busy getting
outside of a dish OF soup. She did not
see the boy put the penny in the slot,
but several others did. and the joke
went around the counter almost as
quickly as the hand on the weighing
machine went around to the figure

THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL.
She is a Miniature and is Taught All
Feminine Arts.

However innocent she may be, lit
tie French girl is much more of a little
woman than a child OF any other ma
tionality. She does not romp; she is
demure and quiet in her games, which
are often limitations of a grown person
life. She is trying to learn how to be
the mistress of her house by means OF
her dolls, furniture, kitchen and dishes.
Feminine arts are still a part of every
well arranged French education, writes
Nine. Blanc in the Century" Men
really care more for these accomplish
ments than for the others, as they make
stay at home wives who look after their
households; and as a Frencfwoman' s
principal aim is to please her future nus
band, every mother prepares her daugh-
ter for this end. This is why she does
not permit too close an intimacy with
little boy cousins, because ten years
later a jealous husband would take
dislike to these friendly cousins; nor
would he like his wife's bosom friends,
in whom she confides, and who never
leave her any better.
Mothers, therefore, permit few If any
intimacies, and these are all winnowed
and selected with the greatest care. One
advantage of this system is that the
name of friend is not carelessly be-
slowed right and left; it takes time and
good reasons for simple acquaintance
to rise to that rank. The mother not
only wards off little boy cousins and in
innate girl friends, but she diScourages
the little girl in showing off her knowl-
edge out of the classroom, for she is
fully aware that nothing could be less
attractive in the eyes of the expected
lord and master than a bluestocking.
A bright little girl l could name had,
by chance, picked up some astronomical
facts, which allowed her to shine now
and then. One evening, while playing
in the garden. she heard a friend of her
fathers exclaim: What a dazzling
start" THAT Is not q star, sir, she
said; "it is a planet" Her mother was
in despair, for she would rather hum
dred times have found her ignorant
than have seen her ''show Off" or ca
pable of committing the enormity of
contradicting an older person. Il hope"
she said, jestingly, as a sort of excuse,
that when she is IS the poor little
thing will have forgotten a great part
of what she knows to-day"

For Bicycle Riders.

There are many questions connected
with what to the average rider would
e long journeys on a bicycle which
seldom or never obtain the amount of
attention which they require in order
10 give the rider the comfort and pleas
rre that he ought to have.
For instance, the packing of luggage
is one of the most important details Of
a weeks run. The best method for car
rying luggage Is that already described
in this column, namely. leather bag
fitted to the inside of the frame. The
proper luggage for a week should he
the smallest set of toilet articles that
can be conveniently used, a couple of
sets of underclothing, and at least two
extra pairs of long stockings and per-
haps most important of all, pair of
loose slippers. When starting out in
the morning the entire clothing which
you wear should be perfectly dry. This
can always be accomplished If it is done
in the right way, by asking maid at
the hotel where you stop at night to
see that all your clothes are dried dur
ing the night, and it is well to dress
in different suit each day, except, OF
course, the trousers and jacket. When
You stop at noon for the hour or two
fo1 dinner with the intention of riding
on in the afternoon, the greatest care
should be taken to avoid taking cold
especially in the fall and winter
weather. In the first place you should
wrap yourself up usually by putting
on the coat and waistcoat which you
have been carrying on the front of the
wheel or in the leather portmanteau
Ii Is unwise, however, to take bath
and change the clothing at this time
of day. and therefore merely the rest
and the dinner should be your care at
noon. After riding all the afternoon
the moment the bicycle is slowed away
or put under some ones care go to
your room at the hotel and take bath
IL there happens to be no bathtub
available, which is often the case at
small inns or country hotels. take a
sponge bath-always in warm water at
first, ending with cold. There is con-
siderable danger to anyone who takes
a warm bath after heavy physical ex-
eition and omits the cold water after
ward. 1t is one of the best methods
known for catching a dangerous cold.-
