her distinguished neigh ,ors not calling.
In truth, only seven of them did So
one to inquire as to the character of a
former servant and the other six to Sc

institutions
Under such circumstances the de
lights of social life were somewhat cur
tailed. Whether or not this went to the
old lady's heart cannot be said, but GER
tain it is that i'll few short weeks she
was dead. The neighbors flocked to the
funeral. The rooms were crowded. All
was pity, love and sympathy. In the
middle Of it all the old lady sat up and
said it did her good to see SO many kind

| Gradually Acquiring Information Concern
ing Methods of Collecting d Bill.
''When we moved into the country, .
said Mr.. Changoofair, II almost won
dered at the absolute confidence of the
boss of the moving party. 1t was long
haul, two or three vans, and the bill q
matter of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything out of the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill. ] wondered what they would
do if somebody should say then that he
would call at the Office and settle OF
something of that sort. But, then, ]
knew was going to pay; that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff in
and collect the bill afterward of me, and
l made up my mind that they were
keen men, who knew pcc' lie when they
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not.
"Well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us in, but
they didn't know us at the office any
more than if they had never heard of
us. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans-it was a different crew from
that that took us out-hegan Juggling in
the things just as the men that moved
as out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and wondered
again what would happen if they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustIing
the things in just as if they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
After awhile the stuff was pretty
much all theoretically all but the
piano-and I wondered why they hadn' i
brought that III before, because 7 had
seen it loaded, and knew it was one Of
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end of one of the vans. So I went
out to see, and there was the piano,
right where I had seen it when it was
put aboard, at the extreme rear end of
the van, Will. all the stuff in front had
been taken out, carried around the end
OF the piano and on into the house. In
front of it the van was empty.
Passing through the hall, met the
head driver, the boss of the party, and
he, just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill for
the moving, and I paid it on the spot.
Then, everything else having been
moved in, the whole gang tailed on to
the piano and walked it right into the
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved in
until had paid the bill, but this didn't
give me quite such fattering opinion
of myself as the other way had, but it
more than confirmed my original opin-
ion of the shrewdness and ability of the
van folks. They made few mistakes and
took even fewer risks. New York

yellow, turbid distn hnting flood

But when ferryboat, big, ugly, brown,
Against the gale of March comes numbering

The waves she filings to either side are bright
With spray dazzling in the SUMS keen

As white, as fair, as pure as snow at dawn.

The colors of the rainbow meet and play.

Cheering the heart with love or hope or rest
And shining like the rainbow in the spray.
