NOT USED TO HOTEL WAYS.

A Young Woman After Registering Gives
the Clerks a Surprise.
She drifted into an uptown hotel by
way of the women's entrance. She was
plainly but neatly clad and did not
look like a girl who was used to the
system in operation at a big hotel, She
had a bright, pretty face aud looked
fresh and charming. The two clerks on
duty eyed her curiously and exchanged
comments about the girl. She hesitated
a moment when she reached the office,
but after some little display of embar-
rassment walked up to the desk and
picked up a pen in a dif1ident manner
The clerk wheeled the book around so
that the place for signatures was in the
proper position and waited. She chewed
nervously at the end of the pen, then
dipped it slowly in the ink, and with a
great deal of pains wrote:
"Miss Mary McClosky, 372 West
Ninety-third street"
Then she eyed her effort approvingly
and carefully laid the pen down. The
clerk, who had been watching the oper-
atlon with a Sood zeal OF curiosity, SAID
Room, miss?"
A flush mantled her face, but she
said sweetly, Eyes, if you please"
Would you like a room with a bath?'
asked the clerk in a puzzled tone.
Again she seemed embarrassed and hest
tated, but finally said in a low tone:
Eyes, if you please. That would be
very nice and l would thank you very
much"
"How much do you care to pay for a
room?" said the clerk as his eye swept
the rack.
"Pay?" she said in sheer surprise.
"Pay? Why, l didn't expect to pay any
thing. l got a job here today as a cham
bermaid and l have just come down. -

SHE WAS WRONG.
The Original Poem Wasn't by Cowper at
All, but by Some One Else,

The Original Poem Wasn't by COwper ut
All, but by Some One Else.
There is a woman's literary club on
the South Side which is having the
hardest imaginable time to keep togeth-
er. Unlike most similar organizations,
it is not from wan of money that this
association of fair students is constant
ly threatened with d~isbandment. A
spirit of discomfort and rivalry stalks
through the meetings.
The original purpose of the club was
a thorough criticism of the works of
Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton,
Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But,
although this laudable intention was
adhered to for several months, after
awhile some of them got to writing es-
says and other papers to be read before
the society. The book trade may not
have noticed it, but at that time there
was a considerable run ON c~oncordances,
glossaries. books of synonyms and liter
airy dictionaries. Ever since then things
have gone from bad to worse. 1t seems
impossible to maintain harmony.
The vice president of the ~organiza-
ton, a charming young lady, whether
considered mentally or from her photo
graph. recently wrote a rather extend
ed poem in a very lofty strain. She read
it to the club. Amid the general ap.
plause which followed there came from
several remote corners of the room
something like murmurs. A couple of
her auditors we've heard to say that she
had never written anything like that
before; that they didn't believe any
one in the club was capable of it; that,
in fact, several passages sounded
strangely familiar.
Finally n member with glasses and
a very penetrating expression, address
ing the author of the poem, said:
Didn't you get some Of that from
Cowper? I'm sure you did"
II did nothing of the kind, retorted
the vice president, flushing at the &C.
cusation.
"Oh, but l remember almost the ex-
act linesr' persisted her accuser.
"How dare you say SOP returned the
poet hotly.
but We'll get the book and look, -
persisted the other.
You're a mean, mean thing" said
the vice president, bursting into tears.
Il didn't get this from Cowper at all
And now that you're so smart I'll not
tell you where | did get 1t. "-Chicagc

Wisdom Out of Ignorance.

Judge Russell M. Wing, of the Kent
College OF Law, told a good story the
other night.
A country Justice had been elected but
a few days when a young lawyer rushed
in and demanded a capiss. Now, that
justice did not know a capias from a
police cell, but he disliked to admit his
Ignorance, SO he said:
"Now, see here, my friend. You are a
young lawyer and l fear lack experience.
L would advise you not to be too hssty.
Don't be in a hurry. Wait tw~enty-four
hours, and then, if you think best, come
to me and l will give you a capiss."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remainder
of the day getting acquainted with the
writ called capias. When the limb of
the law appeared the next morning the
court felt himself qualified to issue
capiases by the bushel.
Before he conid speak, the young
lawyer said:
MIR. Justice, you were right; l was
too hasty. have that matter fixed up
all right and do not need a capias. | have
to thank you for the good advice,
and also have brought you the SO fee you
would have received for the capias, as l
want you to lose anything by your
good deed"
He went away balieving the Justice
to be a paragon of good sense and legal

Many of the North American Indians
were magnificent specimens of physical
manhood. This was due, largely, to their
active outdoor life. Nevertheless, they
had the wisdom to know that an active life
in the open air alone, would not keep a
man healthy. They had their medicine
men, who gathered herbs from field and
forest and brewed decoctions to assist the
natural processes of the various vital
rgans
Modern civilized men do not as a usual
thing recognize the same necessity until it
is too late. They ignore medicine until
they are within the grasp of some serious
or fatal disease. The time for a mar to be-
gin taking medicine is when he begins to
feel out of sorts. If a man Is thoroughly
well and healthy he does not feel that way.
If he does feel that way he may be pretty
sure that he is half sick. When he is half
sick it does not take long before he is
whole sick" DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is the best medicine for a
man when he is sick or getting sick. 1t
puts him all right Gll round. 1t puts his
stomach right to begin with, and that is the
most important point. 1t puts his liver
right, and that is the second most import
ant point. 1t purifes his blood and fills it
with the life giving elements of the food
he eats, and that is the third important
point. 1t drives out all disease germs and
Impurities of every description. 1t makes
the appetite keen and hearty, 1t is the
greatest blood-maker and ~fesh-builder. 1t
cures % per cent. of all cases of consump-
ton, weak lungs, splitting of blood, obsti-
nate coughs and kindred ailments. Thou

A Miraculous Draft of Fishes.

The jewellers on the banks of the
Neckar, neal the good old German town
of Heilbronn, had an experience the
other day which must have reminded
them of the miraculous draft Of
fishes. A few days ago, toward evening,
the worthy H~eilbronners perceived that
the Neekar was toward both it's banks
one moving mass of all sorts and con-
ditions of fish, thronging landward in
seeming anxiety to be caught. Nor was
this tacit appeal at all ~disregarded, for
every man, woman and child Of the
vicinity ran out with pots and pans,
with spades and rakes, and pals and
baskets to help himself or herself to a
share of fish. The explanation of the
miracle, which perchance might prove
a hint to fisher folk, was that the river
had become SO muddy after recent heavy
rains that the fish found it difficult to
breathe in the "thick" water and had
approached the banks for more air.

THREE P's,
BY R. WILLIAM CoWAN,

Ho, boys I'd like to say to yon,
As If L were your father,
With earnest mind and good intent,
A word-or three words, rather:
Pluck, Purpose, Perseverance they;
call them simply glorious,
For they who ave and use them well
Shall surely be victorious.
Purpose sees something to be lone
For our own good or neighbours;
Pluck dares to do it, and in faith
For the great object labors.
But Pluck and Purpose both are vain,
AS teaches many a story;
IT'S Perseverance wins the day,
And leads the boys to glory.
