A MAN OF HE WORLD.

A man more kindly. in his careless way.
Than many who profess higher creed:
Whose tickle love might change from day
TO oday,
And yet be faithful to a friend in need;
Whose manners covered, through life's
outs and ms,
Like charity, a multitude Of sins.
man Of honor, too. as such things go;
Discreet and secret. qualities Of use;
Selfish, but not self-conscious, generous,
slow
To anger, but most rendy TO excuse:
His wit and cleyerness consisted not
So much in what he said as what he got.
His principles one might not quite com
mend,
And they were much too simple to mis-
take,
Never to turn his back upon a friend.
Never to lie but for a woman's sake;
To take the sweets that came within his
way,
And pay the price, If there were price to
pay.
Idle, good looking, negatively wise,
Lazy In action, plausible In speech;
Favor he found in many women's eyes.
And valued most that which was hard
to reach.
Few are both true and tender, and he
grew
In time a little tenderer than true.
Knowing much evil, half-regrettingly
good,
And we regret childish impulse lost,
Wearied with knowledge best not under
stood,
Bored with the disenchantment that it
cost
But in conclusion with no feelings hid,
A gentleman, no matter what he did.
Looking Glass.

GENUINE HOSPITALITY.
An Actors Experience in the Wild
and Wooily West.


and Wooliy West.
Talk about hospitality" remarked a
broken-down actor, the place to find it
is in the far West. The last time | was
out there we were playing Uncle
Toms Cabin, with a real mule. We
played to fair business, and paid our
bills until we reached Red Bluff. There
the owner of the opera house had
piano for an orchestra, and it stood just
below the stage. When the mule came
on some one in the audience got funny,
and, throwing lariat around the neck
of the animal, pulled him off the stage.
The mule and the piano got mixed up,
which ruined the orchestra, and when
he got away from the piano the mule
kicked down one of the boxes before he
walked through one Of the seats to
where the fellow with the lariat want
ed him. l had a mouth organ, with
which l went ON with the orchestral ac-
compartment, and we closed the play
with the fellow that captured the mule
riding him around the opera house.
THE manager of the theater claimed
damages, captured all of the box re-
ceipts and we could not get out Of town.
OF course, we expected to walk, but I'll
be blamed If the landlord didn't pack us
all with our baggage in a box car, give
us plenty of lunch and send us clear to
Virginia City without paying cent
The most hospitable fellow ever saw"

Good Words for the Horse.

Col. Ed Butler is authority for the
statement that there are more horses
in st. Louis now than there ever have
been in the entire history Of the city.
According to his figures, there are any
where from 20 to 80 per cent. more now
than there were during the palmiest
days of the horse car or before the bike
came into use.
Il am better prepared to know how
many horses there are in the city than
any other man living here. The reason
is that catch them coming and gong
l shoe them while they are living and
haul them off when they are dead.
Il know that the average citizen be-
lieves that the advent Of the trolley car
and the bicycle dispensed with the use
Of horses almost entirely, but this Is
not the case. The bicycle dude and the
trolley car patron never owned horses.
The only horses the trolley car knocked
out were the plugs that nobody else
would care to own, and there were not
half as many of them as is generally.
ouPPOotu.
Good horses are as hard to get now
as they ever were, and probably harder,
for the reason that not so many OF
them are being bred. You can't hire 4
rig at a livery stable any cheaper now
than you could ten years ago, and II
you drive out you will find more rigs Oh
the streets than there were ten years
ago. The trolley car has killed the mar
ket for scrub horses. and they are
cheaper, but scrub horse is not cheap
at any figure. I have been trying to &c,
first-class team for three years, ana
am willing to pay any kind of price
for them, but have not been aole -
find what want. Ipredict that within
the next five years the breeding Of GOOD
roadsters is going to become one OF tn'
most profitable businesses In the coun
try."-St Louis Republic.

them. They say that the office girl Is
superior to the office boy in many par

smoke cigarettes. AS rule she has
absolutely no taste for dime novels.
She Is usually bright quick and ener-

upon this point II almost unanimous,

after. believe that the conventional
doctor of the future win have a smooth
face instead Of beard. My father is
bitterly opposed to boards for physi-
clans. and does not allow his internes
TO wear them. l think It is possible to
be too radical In the matter. and per
haps he Is. l wear closely cropped
beard. and do not see how 1t can aid
at all In spreading contaglon. With a
long beard. and especially In surgical
cases, It Is different. Careful physl-
clans who have boards protect them
with gauze guards. OF course. and do
not allow them to come in contact with
or distribute disease germs In wound.

to be clean shaved. and l certainly be-
