From the peep OF the dawn till the set of

Don't frown on the child, who has scat

And sc0ld him because of his laughter and

Just let him be happy, and jolly and gay,

But think how your spirit would sorrow

Ii he from your arms should be suddenly

II YOU make your child feel that he's just

You'll surely be sorry some day.

But never be neat at the cost of a blow;

awake the next morning with the con-
seriousness that the day that is gone was
not blank in the years many-paged his
tory. And what is there more charming
to meet in this world of many trials and
troubles, than a cheerful woman? There
is room for her in every household and in
all the busy places of life. Cheerfulness
cannot be over-estimated, we need not be
Indifferent to our duties to keep good
tempered, and we ought not to look upon
work as hardship; and if we make the
best of our leisure hours, spend them in
pursuits best suited our tastes and dispo-
sition, we may be very happy, notwith
standing the rough roads we may have to
travel, and like the busy bee we may ex-
tract sweetness of every flower that
grows on the roadside, find pleasure in
every smile that greets us, happiness in
every little attention we can extend to
our friends and accept from them.

ISABEL RICHEY, in Everywhere.
Women, who are e-sheltered look
out from their homes upon the busy
world and pity the woman, who takes
part in the hurry of it all that is, if they
have a kind heart and are not indifferent
to the affairs of others: They wonder
how she can stand the continuous noise
of street and shop, and keep bright of
face and neat of dress. And they are
right, for it is not an easy thing to miss
the comforts and ease of life, to toll from
mora till night, and retain pleasant,
amiable disposition, and attend cheerful
ly to the little niceties of our daily ap-
pearance. Her only leisure is on Sunday,
and to the Sunday she looks for recrea-
ton, for rest. We are taught by some OF
our religious instructors, that the Sab
bath day should be devoted to prayer,
they may condemn the mode of spending
the day in visiting friends, receiving Wis
itors and SO on, but if it helps her to be
happier, more cheerful, why then it must
be good mode. Speaking of cheerful
ness, do you know, that we meet with
many more cheerful women among the
busy crowd-I am not speaking of the
| women who works for wages only, but
the mother and house-keeper as well,
than among those who have no definite
occupationf "Keep busy" even if you

HEAVY DUTY ON WATER.
General Appraisers Overrule a Protest
Relating to Mineral Water.

Relating to Mineral Water.
A peculiar question relating to the inn
portation Of mineral waters has been de-
cided by the Board Of United States Cen
eral Appraisers. G.. H. Bangs, OF Bur-
lington, w., recently imported a guam
tity of water in. barrels, from the st..
Leon Spring, in Canada. Duty was as
sessed thereon at 81 cents per gallon, and
upon the barrels at 30 per cent, ad
valoem. The importer claimed that the
said water as imported was in its natural
condition, and would have to be filtered
and bottled before it could be sold for
consumption.
The Board of General Appraisers found
that the law expressly provided that all
mineral waters, If imported otherwise
than in plain green or colored glass
bottles, shall be subject to duty at "a
cents per gallon, and the coverings at the
same rate as il imported empty.
1t was urged by the importer that the
law could not have intended to exact q
duty of "a cents gallon on water in bar
rels, as such q rate would be excessive
and prohibitory. The General Apprais-
sers, however, felt obliged under the ex-
plicit terms Of the tariff act to Overrule
the protest, @

JOSEPH HAD WHEELS.
But Solomon Said They Did Not Be.
long to Him.

Joseph Martin, colored, had wheels,
and what was worse for him, they were
not his wheels. They belonged to re-
spectacle Hebrew named Solomon Freid-
kin, who keeps small grocery at No. IA
East Front street. Solomon owns a
p,shcart, which he uses in connection
with his business. 1t was good one
with strong serviceable wheels. When
it was not in Use it was kept in the rear
of Solomon's house on the open lot at
Water and King st. eets.
Joseph also had pushcart, which he
likewise used in his business, that OF ped
ding CLAIMS. The wheels on his cart were
not mates and they were old and shaky.
solomon's cart disappeared about week
ago and all trace was lost. Yesterday he
saw pair of wheels on Joseph's cart
which looked familiar, and looking
closer recognized his long-lost running
gear. He had Joseph arrested, and in
the Municipal Court last night gave him
a chance to explain.
Joseph said the body was behind the
church at Third and Washington streets,
where he had slowed it to keep it out OF
the weather, and as for the wheels he
was only using them to keep from get
ting rusty. In fact he only took the cart
because he was afraid some of the chill
dren would damage it. He said the
owner could have had it any time he
asked for it az he was only taking care
of it for him. Joseph's story was little
bit mixed SO he was given until Monday
mosning to get it straight, meanwhile
giving $500 bail.

Eppler and Miss Rutter Married.

The complications arising from the de-
sertion Of his intended bride, Miss Mary
Rutter, by Charles j. Eppler, were hap
PLY ended last night when they were
married at the BRIDES home, No. 224
Madison street. Mr.. Eppler waived the
point Of dress on which he is said to
have based his desertion and was married
in the conventional black shoes and
white tie. The wedding was strictly
private, none but the immediate relatives
of the bride being present. However,
the neighbors would not be denied their
share in the happiness, SO the newly
married couple were given a serenade.

will probably wear his lay-down collar
red tie and yellow shoes, he now being
the head of the Eppler family and privi-
lodged to do as he pleased.

night. The contest was practically a
draw, AZ neither man showed DISPOSE

vantage in heighth and weight. Al
though he tried to force the fighting, his

was very fast and delivered several
stomach punches with lightning quick
ness and got away untouched. Both men
were very cautious and took no chances.
at the conclusion of the bout neither man
was any the worse and both looked good
to continue for many rounds more.
In the preliminarics, Jim Janey found
it very difficult to get Pepper Griffin to
stand up and fight. In the sixth round
he landed several hard punches on Grif-
fms jaw and put him out.

broken up by an onslaught by members who
didn't belong to the teams. They secured a sup.
they pelted their fellow brokers. The air was
made white with the flying flour. and enough
was wasted to start a bakery.
There was little skylarking on the other
Wall street exchanges. What there was was
confined mostly to hat smashing and the like
mild demonstrations. On all the exchanges
Christmas funds for the employees were dis
tributed. On the Stock Exchange the fund was
$6. 100. against about $1,000 last year. Tho
clerks in many brokers' offices and private
banking concerns also got cash Christmas pres
ents.
In the case of one Stock Exchange house tho
money gifts represented a percentage OF the
business done by the firm in the past year. and.
as the house has been one of the most prosper
