SITTING AND SINoEINo.
In the Hot weather, and How Ho
Accomplished It.


Accomplished 1t.
Sitting at ones desk, smuggling in
the sizzling August heat which fire.
Quently comes in July or June, ones
thoughts turn to something far moro
desirable. and ones ambition and de-
termination, after the first four or five
days OF it, Is to get away and find the
longed-for GOODNESS and escape from
care as well. Having at length sens
IDLY concluded that it Is better to work
well ten or eleven months in the year
and rest and recuperate the balance or
the time, the. next thing Is to determine
what part OF the universe we will grace
with Onr presence. The west is ever
drawing attraction for those
living in the eastern or middle Sec
tions, and now come remembrances OF
stories our frienus have told us about
the beauties and grandeur of Colorado
and the Rocky mountains. Slyly there
creeps into the Imagination a gurgling
brook and we decide to try our skill
at casting a fly on It's rifles. We
mentally note that while we like soci-
ETY., we don't yearn for 1t alone, and
fishing tackle doesn't cucumber one
very much, anyhow. Into the trunk
she goes, along with a kodak, perhaps,
for we are going to sec the grandest
mountains and most beautiful scenery
of America. We may be home in two
weeks. One can do so much in two
weeks.
Having made up our minds, we select
the Missouri Pacific system as our
means of travel, because we may ss
well enjoy its luxurious car service,
and we want to get the coolness as
quickly as possible. The Colorado
Short Line from Kansas City to Pueblo
suits our fancy, and we are gone on a
ever-to-be-forgotten trip, with duh
care and heat left behind and the dust
and the smoke Of the city out of mind
while we revel in the pure mountain
air. We find that two weeks is q very
short time, after all, and wonder how
1t ever occurred to us to do much in
two weeks. There are more fishing
streams and some additional scenery
beyond, over there on the Gunnison,
and in the vicinity of Wagon Wheel
Gap and Animas Canon, and, finding
that the Denver & Rio Grande road
takes us through this greatest midst or
scenery, we are bound to have look
at 1t. We go, perhaps extending our
trip to Utah. we are charmed, we get
Drowned, we eat enough for the whole
family, and we conclude to bring the
whole family along when we repeat the
trip, next year.
Thus are our lives heightened, and
We bring to business renewed energy
and strength Of mind, as well as body.
and consider that we were wise when
We reached the determination to take
some play along with the hard work.
There is no greater incentive to work
well than the remembrance that we
have had our vacation and enjoyed it

TeddIe's Advice.

The Blakes have a summer home in
Willoughby, to which they have just
returned, after q residence of six
months in the city. One of the first
callers after the family had got settled
was the minister. While the good man
was inquir!ng after the health of each
member of the family, expressing his
pleasure at their return and explaining
how the affairs of the church were GO
ing, little Teddie, who celebrated his
third birthday, and who, during their
stay in the city, must have met some
body who was addicted to the use of
slang, stood open-mouthed and appar-
emily drinking in every word that was
said. Having finished a general review
OF affairs concerning his church the
minister started to tell about a book
that he had just finished, when Teddie
suddenly interrupted him by gravely
saying:
"Oh, go hire a hall!"

worthy minister is sometimes possessed

'In the kitchen, sir" confessed
Bridget.
Il will go where she is" said Mr..
Folliott. Take me to her at once"
Poor little GracIe sat before the
kitchen fire, the meekest and palest OF
Cinderellas, in an unconsciously
drocring attitude. Her dress was worn
and faded, her hair brushed back in a
plain plait, her cheek transparently
pale, and there was an expression in
her eyes, as they looked into the red
embers, that made Mr.. Folliott's heart
ache.
i've not come any too soon," he
thought, and then he said aloud:
"Gracle! Little Graciep'
With a sudden cry she sprang to her
feet and ran sobbing into his arms.
"Oh, take me awayw she exclaimed.
"Oh, am so miserable herer'
The old man looked at her, with
tears in his eyes.
"I have made a mistake, Gracie,"
said he. "No man can do his duty by
proxy. I should have kept you my
self. Never mind, little one, hence
forward you shall be all my own"
He turned to Bridget.
"Pack her Clothes" said he, "and
lose no time"
Bridget stared. Are you going to
take ser away, sir?" said she.
Mr.. Folliott nodded.
"And It's glad of 1t / am" said the
honest girl, "for though it's wearnul
lonesome shall be without her, it's no
place for a gentleman's daughter. is
this ovid black ck-beetle-haunted kitchen.
No more II ain't!"
And when Mrs. Folliott and her
daughters returned, tired and cross, at
2 O'Clock in the morning, there was no
patient Oracle to do the duties OF a
lady's maid to them. And note from
their rich relative on the tall table ex-
planned the phenomenon.
Mrs. Folliott grew pale as she read
the curt words in which Cousin Paul
expressed his meaning.

"Your clothes are good enough"
said Mrs. Folliott, sharply. There is
nothing so sinful as vanity"
"But when l go to school" began
Grace.
"You are not going to school," said
Mrs. Folliott. "It is your business to
stay here and help Jane with the china
and silver and make yourself useful.
You are not young lady, like Miss
Alicette and Miss Florence-you are
only a working girl"
Child though she was, Oracle Bel
laire comprehended the injustice OF all
this. Kind old Mr.. Folliott hadn't
meant this when he gave her over into
Mrs. John Folliott's change. He must
have forgotten to send the money,
Grace thought, or she never would
have been treated thus.
"It's a shame" said honest Bridget,
the cook. "The child ought to have ex-
ercise at least"
Sure, II she was the cat they
couldn't take less notice of her." said
Norah, the waitress.

said Fannie, the smart chambermaid.
"She's kept me awake with her
cough for two nights" said Bridget,
"and all the paregoric give her don't
loose II up a bit"
For Mrs. Folliott, under an extra
pressure Of company, had ordered
Grace to sleep with Bridget for night
or two, and when the company was
gone nothing had been said about her
resuming her little room again.
"The girls need 1t to keep their sum-
mer dresses in," said Mrs. Folliott.
And Grace is just as we'll off with
Bridget"
"They wouldn't care II she coughed
herself out of the world entirely" said
Norah.
Worse luck to 'em," said Fannie.
"Rut nobody ever yet ground down the
orrhan and the fatherless withou;
there was a judgment on 'em for 1t. u
Mr.. Folliott all this time was begin
ming to be little uneasy. His elegant
city relative wrote at stated intervals
but her communications were eminent

And so, late one snowy December
night, there came a tremendous peal
at the doorbell of Mrs. John Folliott's
mansion. That lady was absent at a
fashionable reception with her three
daughters. Norah and Fannie had gone
ID visit a friend in a neighboring
kitchen, and Bridget, half asleep

curious way of commenting on the

Took an Electric Light to Bed

A Lynchburg drummer nearly
caused serious confagration at
one of the leading hotels at Lex
ington, Va, the other night.
The weather was cold, and he
took an incandescent Hight,
which had a long conrcction to
it, in his room, wrapped a bed
sheet around it and placed it in
the foot of the bed to keep his
feet warm. He was awakened
some hours afterward by smoke
and roasted feet.-The light had
set fire to his bed, which
was in full blaze, and was
extlnguished after much diff
Guilty. The globe to the light
had become soft and plastic from
the intense heat, and assumed an
almost fiat shape; it is now ex-
hibited by the hotel man, who
was much excited by the almost
serious accident. The drummer
said he had often done so before,
but had never had a like ex
perience.
