Wasted Indignation.

The man with the floral face and the
bald head grew more and more uneasy
as he sat at the restaurant table. He
tried to read a newspaper, but every
now and then would drop it, adjust his
glasses and glare up and down the room
TO find the waiter to whom he had
given his order. At last he managed
TO detain him, at the risk of being
scalded by the soup he carried, and in
quired:
"How about that dinner | ordered"
at will be here Immediately, sir"
was the answer.
The guest tried TO read his newspaper
once more, bat as time passed his un-
easiness increased until he was glaring
up and down the IOom a. fiereely a.
ever. He found his waiter again and the
same conversation was repeated. After
two or three more similar attempts he
arose and went over to another waiter
who was gracefully leaning against a
pillar.
"Look, here said the guest, II want
10 know something"
YES" responded the waiter.
what I want to know is this: Am
/ ever going TO get any dinner, ami ii
| do ~ IL, when will it be?'
The languid young man looked at
him and replied:
Excuse me. | am afraid you have
made a mistake. / am only waiter,

Her Sense Of Humor.

alehemist. However it may be with
the uRmusical person, surely the surly
individual who can not laugh spOnta-
neously on occasions is ''fit for treas
ons, stratagems and spoils.n
But this blessed gift of humor should
be used to lift the shadows of life, not
to deepen them. \ joke which causes
another a pang of humiliation or
makes some sensitive heart ache is not
only cruel sort of amusement, but it
is also a very expensive indulgence.
For just a moments qualification at
having made "hit' the "funny wOm-
am may forever lose friend, and may
even arouse a very genuine spirit of en-

hap forget, many injuries in life's troub-
led journey, but perhaps among the
wounds that rankle longest in the hu-
man heart are those which are made
''Only in fun" This is the sort Of hu-
NOR that hurts. As a matter of fact,
it is not genuine humor at all, but ill
timed satire, and is in decidedly bad
taste. The woman addicted to this sort
of amusement may establish a reputa-
ton for being ready witted, but she
will make few friends, and her acquaint-
ances will come to dread her As per-
son liz whose presence they are not
safe. Conversation is all the better for
being seasoned with both wit and hu-
NOR, but the seasoning should never be
forced in, and it should be of the inn
personal kind that may be appreciated d
by all and can give oifense to none.

A Suit From a Lawyer.

\ well-known lawyer, who has his
offices in the Betz building, Philadel-
phia, says he has come 10 the cOnclu-
sion that the lower class of mankind IS
totally devoid of gratitude, and that
never in the futGre will he bastOw char
ity unless the applicant for aid has
iron clad references. Last Thursday
morning a bright faced young man
called at the lawyers offices and gave
the proprietor hard-luek story of loss
of employment, and ended by asking
aid. The fellows voice had an honest
ring, aud the lawyer gave him quar-
ter. The mans shoes were all broken
out, and the charitable lawyer decided
to fix him up with a pair of his own
shoes. Consequently he wrote with a
lead pencil on his business card note
to his wife, which read a. follows:
please give the bearer that pair of
shoes under my bed" This Was sign
ed and given TO the beggar, who de
parted after thanking his benefactor
warmly. That evening the lawyer
went home and was met by his wife,
who wanted To know what in the world
he meant by sending home for his best
suit and Overcoat. When pressed for
al explanation she produced the card
he had given to the beggar in the
morning. One glance told him that
the wording on the back had been skill
fully altered, and now read: "Please

New Wedding Rings.

The new-fangled wedding ring Is
engraved with ornamental chasing,
and il enriched with precious stones
Fanciful ideas are allowed full play in
the choice OF emblematic stones They
are made to spell "AmOr" by means of
amethyst, moOnstone, opal and ruby,
or set in some other chosen device.
Sometimes date OF name is intro
duced amopg the stones. All the fads
which are permissible on an engage
ment ring are reproduced for the we'd
ding ring.
The new fashion has only novelty g
commend il, and a better taste prefers
the plain broad gold circle, with an
inscription of names and date cut on
the inside
The plain gold ring is time-honOred
and respected symbol Of marriage. The
new wedding ring is no improvement
upon the good old one. The bride of
any sentiment will prefer to adhere to
the ring which was good enough for
her father and mother.

should be cut Off with a quarter, and
left to strive for yourself, while Others

sheep of the family "but somehow
don't feel rs if there would be much
use in my trying to get any of the
money. 1t would only be bother
that would, in all probability, come to
nothing in the end"
"Come to nothingr' exclaimed the
luminary. "Why, my boy, you can't
lose if you go into it. I've travelled
over a thousand miles to find you and
tell you this, and 1 know what I'm
talking about"

Only One Trouble.

After the young man had criticised
the course of the prosecuting attorney
at some length and had esded up by
informing him what he should have
done the latter grasped him warmly by
the hand and remarked:
1T is evident that you have given
this case considerable thought, Mr.
Brown, and the arguments you adj
vance in support Of your position con-
vince me that there is only one reason
in the world why you should not even
now be rs successful a lawyer as l.
''And what is that ~ asked the
young man.
''YOu don't know rs much"
As the young man slowly picked his
way along the street he couldn't help
wondering to himself whether it was
really worth while to give 80 much
valuable time to other peoples busi-
ness.-ChieagO Post.

Mr.. MeKinley's Souvenirs.

Once a day now President Mckinley
makes some little girl the happicst os
her sex. She Is the first one i'm the
line at the afternoon reception held by
the chief magistrate in the White
House. At 5 o'clock, no matter how
busy he may be with affairs Of state,
consultations with his cabinet minis
tiers or other callers, the president
drops everything AMI rushes DOWN
stairs, where a crowd Of people, often
numbering 900 or 500, is awaiting him
in the east room. As the president
drops his work and rushes away, his
face is often clouded. Ii shows the
lines Of care. IL il "A serious and
thoughtful, and now and then, troub-
led face. But instantly he enters the
famous east room, where the meD,
women and children stand expectant,
his eOuntenance lights up with genuine
pleasure. The president likes to meet
people, and these afternoon affairs
actually rest him, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. AS one occasionally
watches the fine manner with which
he takes his stand at the head of the
corridor and shakes the hands of all
these people and smiles at them, and
gives each and every one happy
moment to remember all the remainder
of life, one cannot help thinking what
a nice thing it is to have in the White
House trained and graceful public
man.
But the little girl who is sent away
with radiant face. The first tot that
comes along in the line Is the lucky
one. The White House employe who
stands near the president lifts her up,
the president pats her curly head,
while she looks up at him with Won
dering eyes, and then, quick as flash,
the chief magistrate of the great repub-
lie pulls carnation or rose from his |
coat and places it in the hands of the |
young miss. OF course the people all |
admire this pretty scene, and buzz |
runs through the big apartment Once |
4 day the president passes out bout
aud among the knowing ones
there is quite a competition to get their |
little ones at the head of the line. a |
like that is not despised by a
good many people.

Water Front Notes,

The ferry steamer Oakland and the
scow-schooner Francis E. M. Bernard were
in collision off the ferries yesterday.
About the only damage of any conse-
quence was the loss of the schooner's top
mast, but the passengers On the steamer
got great scare. The schooner was leay-
ing the wharf and the crew of TWO men
were hosting the mainsail. No one was
at the helm, and when she jibed she went
right across the course of the Oakland.
The latter was stopped, and luckily the
scow went about again and ranged up
alongside of the steamer. Soon after the
sailing vessel was got on her course again
and the steamer made her slip.
An attempt was made to burglarize
Nobman's saloon. on the corner of Wash
ington and East streets. last Tuesday
night. The thieves made their way from
Oregon street over the roofs of the inter
vening houses and had boxes OF cigars
and cases of whisky, brandy and claret all
stacked up ready for removal by the roof
route when they were frightened away.
The rear entrance of the saloon was forced
open with jimmy.

But, bless you, don't imagine that tney
even count the thousand dollars that were
in the bag. They inst count twenty OF
them and then stack UP the rest In even
plles,-and there you are.
DID You ever see long string OF ants
walking along carrying, each one, nttle
white bodyf That is what the string OF
men. each hauling a little cart piled with
Shite bags, reminds one OF. But tnese
white bags in piles represent $50, O0O each.
and as the meE hurry out OF vault and
along the corridor to the scales they are
watched and checked by two men stand
ing near the door with llttie books
in their hands Then as the bags
are placed on the scales two more men
are there to see to II that the keen-eyed
man who cries out Fright" every time a
pas is placed on does not go to sleep. AT
least that is what it seems they are there
for, as they do nothing but look at him
and the scale all the time. Then there are
two more men on the other side of the
scales, and they, too, have little books and
lead pencils, and they check off the bags
as they go back from the scales to the
trucks and are hurried along to the receiv-
ing vault, where they are met al the door
by two other men with little books and
pencils, and again the bags are checked
off before they are tossed to the three per-
spring men inside who are pillng the
bags away to be sealed up for another
four years.
And so it goes on. and has been going
on since the first of the month, and Will
90 on until the last OF the month, Tor six
hours every day, and these men almost
have a cont mpL tor money just as the
child turned loose in candy-store turns
from the best of it for something sour
These men handle their millions every
day until it has become so monotonous
that they are almost ready to become
mem bers of the Labor Exchange and do
away with a circulating medium entirely.
They have become surfeited with money
other peoples money. Probably they
would not feel as bad if it were their own.
How about stealing some of it?'
Again that look, half disgust and half
pity.
''steal it! Why, it would be utterly
impossible for any one to steal single
dollar of it and it would be difficult to
steal any of it, even if every body down
here was in collusion."
"Sayl" 1t was one of the sweat be-
grimed men hauling the trucks who spoke
now. There was fresh reporter on one
of the papers here who wrote an article
about some fellows tunneling under these
vaults and getting in. That reporter was
the worst ever saw. Why, to tunnel in
here a man would have to go through
three yards of concrete and then through
four plates of steel, and by the time he got
