VICTIM OF HIS OWN nuMoR.
His Fcllow-Clerks Say It Served Him
Right.

His F~cllow-Clerks Say It Served Him
Right.
There is a clerk in the war depart
ment at Washington with a keen n
of humor, who, for the purpose OF
Identification, I will call Daniel Web
ster Scruggs. says a writer in the
Washington Star. He is what people
call "a funny man." He spends about
half the time he should devote to his
official duties thinking up conundrums,
puns, practical jokes and other dis
agreeable things. When his fellow
clerks find mucilage in their ink-bot-
ties and crooked pins in their chairs
they always bless Scruggs, but he has
been warned by the chief of his divi-
sion so many times that he is less
humorous in the Office nowadays tina
he used to be. But at home, with his
wife and six children, there Is no n
to restrain him, and the %neighbors are
good-natured. Mrs. Scruggs is a pa
tient, long-suffering woman, and says
she is $50 used to it" that "she doesn't
mind him any more" She is nursing
Scruggs just now with a devotion that
shows her genuine affection for the
mai who has been a perpetual tor
ment during seventeen years OF mar
ried life. For Scruggs is a victim OF
his own humor. About a week ago
Scruggs conceived the idea of shaving
off his abundant whiskers, and one
evening after Office hours, without
saying a word about his intention, left
them on the floor of a barber shop
When he got home he thought he
would have some fun with the chill
dren. So he turned his coat and hat
inside out, let himself into the hall
way of his residerco with g
latch key, and, launching w
his shoulders like a tough, made
some queer noises. The children rush
ed out of the sitting room, followed by
their dog, which is about as big as
flour barrel, and stopped with alarm
as they saw what they supposed tu bt
a tramp. But the dog was not at al
frightened. He sprung at the strang
err with an eloquent growl, and in al
instant he and Scruggs were rolling
over and over on the hall floor. Thu
children screamed, and their mothe.
came hurrying from the kitchen
Scruggs shouted and coaxed and swore
but the dog didn't see the joke, ant
didn't recognize his voice. and Mrs
Scruggs and the oldest boy were a lon
time separating the combatants.
They sent for the doctor, who eau
terized the wounds and bound then
up carefully. He says that Scrugg
had a narrow escape and will not b
able to return to his duties for a fort
night. The clerks in the Office say tina
it was good enough for him.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Truth is the object of our under
standing, as good is of our will; and
the understanding can no more be de-
lighted with a lie than the will can
choose an apparent evil.-Dryden.
The ideal citizen is the man who be-
lieves that all men are brothers, and
that the nation is merely an extension
of his family, to be loved, respected and
cared for accordingly.-John Habber-
ton.
Home may be a gypsy's tent, a la
borer's cottage, a shopkeeper's house, a
merchants residence, or a nobleman's
mansion, If there is one family under
the roof, and that family bound by the
ties of affection as we'll as blood.--Rey.
e. B. Bagot.

morning.-T. De Witt Talmage.
There is no better foundation TO,

MISPLACED ECONOMY.
It IL Usually Praotiocd by n Fa'

1t IL Usually Practieed by the Fair
Sex. :
There is certainly such a thing as an
exaggeration of economy and a mis-.
placement Of effort, as in the case OF
the genius who advises making court
plaster at home out Of tightly stretched
black silk and gum arabic or the
one who gives us a long formula for
the compromising Of a glue to mend
china, says the New York Post. An In
vestment of a dime around the corner
from anywhere procures d supply OF
either commodity that will last a year.
Such thrift is like that of the woman
who bought 5 cents worth of sugar Of
lead to set the dye in some calico. She
used half and her economy would not
permit her to throw the rest away. In
stead she tucked it under the edge Of a
carpet, where she thought 1t would be
safe, and forgot all about 1t. Later she
left home on a visit. She had been
away only one day when. in thinking,
as women will, of the impossible things
she could worry over che suddenly re-
membered the poison, and at once
found It a very good and rational cause
for anxiety. How easy for one Of the
children to find it In one Of those polk
ing moods which at any moment may
attack a child! 1t was at night that
, the vexing thought came, and she was
%sleepless till morning arrived and with
1t the opportunity to send a warning
dispatch. AS a mere financial transac.
ton 1t was not profitable, for the dis
patch cost her forty cents. There was
the sleepless night to reckon, too.

Lieutenant Commander in the Navy
Makes an Anonymous Confession.
From the Detroit Free Press: 1.-THE
says a lieutenant commander of the
navy, was a letter I wrote to my
mother when about II yeasr Of age. She
always addressed her letters to me as
my dear boy l felt at that time I
vas a man, or very near it, and wrote
saying that her constant addressing
me as a boy made me feel dis
pleased.
Il received in reply a letter full OF
~reproaches and tears. Among other
things she said: You might grow to
be as big as Goliath, as strong as Sam
son, and as wise as Solomon; you
might become ruler of a nation or en-
peror of many nations, and the world
might revere you and fear you; but to
your devoted mother you would always
appear, in memory, in your innocent
unpretentious, un-self-conceited, I'm
pampered babyhood. In those day!
when l washed and dressed and kissed
and worshiped you, you were my idol
Nowadays you are becoming part of
gross world by contact with it, and
can not bow down to you and worship
you; but if there is manhood and ma
ternal love transmitted to you, you will
understand that the highest compli
ment that mother-love can pay you il
to call you my dear boy"
