her subsequently, with the result that she
became even more naughty toward her
/ undraped friends.
The woman mentioned in this little story
| will be called MRS. Naughty. but she Is
! known in almost every community by 9TH
! or names, says the Omaha Worid-Herald.
She is inclined TO do all she can to make
people believe that She is somebody and
! that she is fitted for a higher sphere than
! the one she Is forced by adverse circum-
! stances to live in
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on ncighbOr and accepted an invitation
to stay 10 supper. Mush ana milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs. Haugh-
ty declared. with sundry CALCULATIONS that
she had never eaten that delightful com
pound. The steaming platter Of mush was
set in the center of the table, and a bowl
of milk placed before Mrs. Naughty.
Just help yourself, Mrs. HauShty," re-
marked the hostess.
Really, l do not know how to begin"
said Mrs Naughty, as she picked up her
spoon.
Mrs. Haugbty made a move and one of
the little children at the table leaned over
10 her mother and whispered:
"She said she never ate mush and milk,
but she dipped her spoon in the milk be-
fore she dipped it into the mush."
That little movement gave Mrs. HauSh-
ty away, for every lover Of mush and
milk knows that if the spoon is first dipped
into the milk the mush will not stick 20

The Queen of Portugal recently, while
out walking with lady of honor in the
environs of Lisbon, heard cries for assist
ance coming from a neighboring wood.
She went TO see what was the matter,
and found that woodcutter had been
injured by a branch of a falling tree
striking him on the head Queen Amelie,
who has studied medicine. attended to the
mans injury, and then, with her compan-
ion assisted him to reach his cabin. Later
on the queen called to see how her patient
was. Then you are doctor, madame,
since you know how to take care of me?"
asked the woodcutter, who did not know
his benefactress. Yes, my good man.
was the reply 81 am very sorry for
that continued the woOdcutter, DE
cause l will never be able to pay all I
owe you. But you must give me your adj
dress, and as soon as l can go out will
bring you basket of fresh eggs and but
ter by way of thanks" The queen re-
piled evasively and the surprise of the
woodcutter may be imagined when he
subsequently learned the rank of the lady
physician.
Where there's a WILL there's a way"
you know and here's a good story about
a young woman who had a will to get
even with a stage manager and found
rather unique way to do it, says the
Boston Herald.
Several months ago a girl applied to
George Lederer at the New York Casino
for place in the chorus. AS usual, she
was sent to the stage manager, who tried
her voice and reported that she had none.
Consequently as the young lady's beauty
was not marked, she was told that there
was not place for her
OF course, she learned that her rejection
was due to the unfavorable report of the
stage manager on her vocal attachments,
and she set herself to work to do him.
Finding an opportunity to go to London
with a returning English company as an
extra" lady, she seized it at once and as
soon as she reached the British metropolis
she visited a music hau manager and, by
some means or other, secured an engage
ment. She appeared and won satisfying
newspaper attention. She Immediately sent
the clppingS-the name she used in Lon
don was very different from that under
which she had made her original applica-
ton at the Casno-to Mr. Lederer, with a
request that she be allowed to appear for
a few months in the chorus of "The Belle
of New York" the big extravaganza which
comes to the Boston theater for its initial
Boston presentation tomorrow evening,
direct and intact from the Casino stage
just for the sake of experience. Later on
she intended, she said, to try for an en-
gagement at the American music halls.
ANY girl who can get notices for clever
ness, art and looks like these" exclaimed
Manager Lederer on receipt of the appli-
cation, "can have place in the Casino
any time" and he instructed his stage
manager to send her contract signed for
three months.
The girl showed up about a fortnight ago
the same girl whom the stage manager
had declared devoid of voice and looks.
But she had the contract and she says
she S going to play it out if only TO prove
to the horrid stage manager that he didn't
know his business when he rejected her
1t is not an easy matter, says the Bal
timore Sun, to determine upon a set OF
fixed rules 10 govern family accounts
that u.s. the money accounts arising be-
tween the members of a family. In some
families communistic principles are fol.
lowed with some degree of success; there
is a common purse, and no one keeps ac.
count of how much any one member puts
in or takes out of it. In other families
Of the opposite extreme there is stric
bookkeeping, and business is transacted
as il would be between strangers.
Something between this and common
