Born In New York.

New York City is the birthplace OF
several expressions that have been for
many years current all over the
world. These expressions are not the
outcome of scholarly thought and cul-
ture. Although our professional men
have dutifullY and generously y aided in
the circulation and ennoblement of
neologisms foreign born, the apt yet
unstudied offerings of the untutored
workman have held their own in lit
erature as we'll as in every day speech,
while many labored results of learned
mind-workers and would-be mind
masters of words have lived but long
enough to be named.
The word boss, which came into
common use during the regime of
William M. Tweed, is the Dutch bass
master. In the language to which
it belongs it is much used in compo-
sition. Thus, Zimmerman bass Is
master carpenter; and preacher is
in Dutch merely church boss.
Only few years ago public atten.
ton began to be called to the preva-
lence OF the various forms of vice in
what was then considered the choicest
residential part of the city. A news.
paper reporter named the region the
"Tenderloin District" and as such it
is destined to be known for long
time to come, while the name tender.
loin will do duty similarly in other
towns as they grow more like the city
in their notable. characteristics.
Porter is the name given in London
more than a century ago to very
dark and heavy beer much fancied by
porters and other outdoor workmen.
The word and the thing came to New
York ln.due time, and porter was soon
in demand as beverage among the
wharfmen, truckmeD, and 'longshore-
men engaged on the river fronts of
the east and west sides of the city.
One taverner in Burling Slip became
famous for the porter he sold, and his
place gradually gained the distinction
of being the porter house OF the town.
In course Of time he added all the fa-
cilities of hotel to his 'public," and
increased its reputation by furnishing
his customers n steak such rs they
could get nowhere else. They called
it the "porter house steak" and by
that name particularly choice cut of
the steak part OF a steer is known
everywhere. -Harper's Weekly.

THE HISTORY OF ONE GIRL
True Story of a One-Time Servant at
n Summer Resort.


n Summer Resort.
Great lessons of life lie hid in the
homely incidents which occur in shops
and kitchens, as well as in the loftiest
poems. Here is true little story which
may be word in season to some Of our
readers:
A few years ago, among the walters
at summer hotel in New Jersey was
a girl whom we shall call Jane. She
was strong, neat and quick-witted, but
scrubbing and washing dishes and was
impatient TO do different, and as she
thought better, work in the world. She
could barely read and write, and she
was poor. When the hotel closed, and
the lonely coast was deserted by the
summer boarders, there was no way
by which she could earn dollar.
She did her work in the hotel thor.
oughly, and was quick and attentive,
but her discomfort showed in her face
and manner. ,Thare~were times when
she hated the idle, richly dressed women
whom she served, and she took no trou-
BILE to hide her dislike.
There was one young girl whose eyes
often rested thoughtfully on her face.
Jane resented her curiosity" as she
called 1t, and one day left her unserv-
ed. When she was mildly reproved,
she answered insolently, and left the
room trembling with rage.
II will have her discharged" said the
young girls father, angrily.
"No, father, no. Leave her to me-"
his daughter entreated.
The next morning Jane was standing
by her chair when Miss B. appeared.
She was very pale, but her voice was
steady. Il wish to beg your pardon
before these ladies. l insulted you be-
fore them yesterday. You might have
reported me, but you did not. / will
leave the hotel. am not fit to be here"
"Go on with your work, Jane" said
Miss b., gently, land favor me by com.
ing to my room this afternoon"
When she saw her alone, she said.
"There is good stuff in you, or you
could not have conquered yourself as
you did to-day. You are fit for higher
work than that you are doing. l have
watched you for some time. You are
intelligent, neat, and have warm sym
pathies. You would, think, succeed as
IL trained nurse"
81 have thought of thatw cried the
girl "But l have no education. How
can get the trainng?'
Miss b. used her influence to give her
a years schooling, and then procured
her admittance TO the New York train
Ing school.
This woman is now the head of n prl-
vate hospital in New York, to which
surgeons send patients who require un-
usual care and skill in treatment She
herself told this story
How few apparently among the many
unhappy, poor girls give such faithful
work as to attract notice! How few
also among the many happy. rich girls
give notice or help to those who serve
them!

In the frolic colored electric light globe
in front of the restaurant was broken.
On Boehmer's threat to have the crowd
arrested one of the young fellows came
forward and asked how much the globe
was worth. Boehmer said seventy-five
cents. The young fellow did not have
the money with HIM but gave his watch
as security until he got the money. This
morning he went to Boehmer's place and
offered the money. Boehmer refused to
take it, saying it was not enough. The
young fellow hunted up policeman and
the two went to the restaurant. Boehmer
told the policeman he would not give up
the watch until he received three dollars
The policeman told the story to Record
er McDonough who ordered Boehmer
brought before him. The Recorder then
told the young fellow to buy globe for
seyenty-f1ve cents. He told Boehmer If
he did not return the watch when the
globe was given him he would put him in
prison, and mighty quick at that.
Boehmer told the Recorder he did not
have any intention of keeping the watch

did not believe him, as he had good rea-

considered justihable to attempt repairs
temporarily at least, provided excessive
caution was observed. 1t is believed by
