HIS FIRST REFUSAL.
Cross Policeman and a Passing Ma
trOn Have q Tiff.


There is big policeman at one of the
crossings on Fifth avenue whose duty
it is to prevent people from immoIat-
ing themselves on the altar of their own
carelessness, and to this end he beckons
and warns and invites by wave of
his friendly hand or command of his
stentorian voice. At the same time he
smiles in the most reassuring manner,
says the Chicago Tribune.
few days ago. when the mud was
spread in liquid abundance over that
portion of Chicago, this policeman
beckoned to Il stately matron of ma
ture years to cross between an incom-
ing street car and an outgoing dray,
with several minor vehicles wedged be-
tween. But the matron refused with
severe shake of her dignified head and
waited.
Come over, tell you'll" roared the
big policeman, with his regulation
smile.
She waited until nothing movable
was in sight, and without deigning to
notice the man of helmet and visor
sailed past his outstretched hand. A
broad smile was on his w@Ather-beaten
face. as, nothing daunted by the scorn
of the naughty dame, he said:
You're the first gur-r-l that ever re-
fused me-"
The astonished woman looked at him
in frozen establishment, but the BEAM
ing smile on his broad face was too
much for her.
II believe it." she said, with an an
swering smile, as she went her way.

A SERMON TC HUSBANDS.
The Newspapers should Be Bapished
from the breakfast Table.

The Newspapers should Be Banished
from the breakfast Table.
The average man eats only two meals
a day in his own house, and these meals
are the opportunities for social and do
nestle talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her hus-
band of rubbing against other minds all
day. and important to the children in
widening their horizon, their views OF
life, says an English exchange.
AT the first meal of the day most
women like to talk to their husbands
about the plans of the day. but the
woman who has once received the dis
trait, self-absorbed growl which en-
anates from a male disturbed in the
reading of his newspaper does not again
attempt to ask her husband this or that
on a subject of domestic interest. The
back of newspaper is not a pleasant
thing to contemplate across the break
fast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
look round for the casters or other suit
able prop for the back of your paper,
and for the sake of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, reserving it for the tram,
omnibus, or tram-car.
OF course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrill
ing import. Why not glance at the pa
per five minutes before the breakfast
bell rings if it is really essential that
such news should be seen at once? Spe-
cial occasions sometimes justify special
behavior, but of your mercy let the
newspaper be banished from the break
fast table on ordinary occasions.

THE oLD-TIME SAND MAN.
A Figure and n Business That Have
Wholly Disappeared.
Here's your white sand, black sand:
White sand,

Here's your white sand. black sand:
White sand,
White sand and black sand,
Now, here's your white Sand,
Black sand mani"
Such were the words sung by the
melodious voices of few robust col
ored men through the streets of Wash
ington, says the Star, half a century
ago; but the sand man and his business
have entirely disappeared, for no longer
the market exists for the material. The
white sand was then used for scrubbing
purposes and sanding floors, and the
black sand for use on manuscript to
dry the ink. While large quantities
were used in the departments, many
stores and Offices. as well as families,
were the consumers, and in some fami-
lies sand boxes are handed down to the
grandchildren to remind them of the
days of the old quill pen. These men,
with horse and cart, would early in the
morning appear with a few bushels OF
white sand, and possibly peck of the
black material, and for few hours
they would cry it through the streets,
selling by the peck. quart and pint-a
levy (12A cents) per quart for the
white and often rs cents per pint for
the black. Now scrubbing soap has al
most entirely superseded the white ma
teral. and blotting paper has driven
the black sand out of the market.
