sas standing on the sidewalk with
Jobson the other day when runawiy
team came down the street, scattering
the vehicles and humanity in every d.
rection.
Jobson, like nearly every other man
in sight, took off his hat and yelled
Hi" at the horses with the result of
increasing their speed.
Why didn't you run out and stop
them? ?" asked.
Jobson smiled peculiarly.
Ever tell you" he said, about the
thrilling rescue l once accomplished in
that line?'

Circus was in town." SAID Jobson,
land the streets were packed to see NE
procession. just as the elephants came
along | noticed a very good looking
young lady on horseback who seemed
to be trying to get through the crowded
street. She wore beautifully fitting
plain black riding skirt and had the
loveliest figure and face in the world.
Just as she came opposite where |
was standing her horse appeared to
take fright at the elephant, as horses
will, and began to rear on its hind legs
and plunge about at terrific rate. The
young lady was very pale, but she kept
her seat wonderfully well and did her
best to hold him down.
Il saw the danger she was in
and rushed between the jam OF We
hicles and grabbed the horses bride.
He lifted me up about nine feet and
paved the skin oft my left shoulder.
but held on like grim death. He must
have dragged and slammed and jerked
me along nearly a whole block before
| got him comparatively quiet.
when he simmered down took off
what was left of my hat, managed to
get in little breath and with the kind
of smile | imagined other heroes used
on such occasions, hoped the young
lady was not frightened.
"She gave me the sweetest kind of a
smile, murmured her thanks and hand
ed me her card.
"'You must come to see me- she said.
with look of gratitude that made my
heart jump. and she rode up the street,
sitting like female Centaur in her sad
die.
"All kinds of visions flashed through
my head-wealthy bankers daughter
love at first sight-papa and mamma
shedding tears of thankfulness-orange
blossoms, etc.
when limped back to the sidewalk
l glanced at the card eagerly. 1t bore

THE BORROWING HABIT.
BY MYRTA |. AVARY.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THERE is a commandment against

THERE is commandment against
coveting, but none against borrow
ing, which is practically helping
oneself to what one covets, and the far
more serious evil of the two.
But so long as there is no command
ment, or even civil law to the effect
that "thou shalt neither borrow nor
lend" it should be the maxim of every
household and part of the breeding OF
every boy and girl to respect the prop
erty of their neighbor, even if that
neighbor is ''only brother, or sister, a
mother. or father"
There are so many types of borrowers
and some of them are 30 charming that
it is rather a difficult task to lay plans
for their wholesale undoing. There is
the girl. affectionate, lovable and kind
hearted, who really regards it.as good
joke that she has kept a borrowed
article so long that the owner in turn
borrows it of her, and there is the
beauty who borrows anything she looks
well in, regardless of the feelings of the
possibly plain owner; there is the
truly generous girl who borrows her
friends music and books, and is care
less about her own stock that she never
thinks to return those that have been
loaned her, and the girl who has I'M
questonably a lot of common sense,
and who is actually the mainstay of the
family. who rejoices because her
mother, sister and herself are all the
same size and can wear one another's
clothes.
AS rule, it is not so much the family,
who have grown accustomed to their
own bad habit, who feel the incon-
vcnience as the visitor, or chance
friend, who although she may possess
a sufficient fund of misplaced generosi-
ty to lend, cannot bring herself to bor-
row in return, and soon suffers from a
sadly depleted wardrobe. And even If
borrowed wearing apparel is returned,
its freshness is gone and its individual
ty too, for the owner has gotten in the
way of associating it with another per-
son.
very charming woman, who pos
sessed a conscience about borrowing,
and who was compelled to reside for
some time with an otherwise delightful
family, who were one and all addicted
TO the borrowing habit, has written
most feelingly of her experience there
in, and of the manner in which one pret-
ty girl was reformed.
Il really" to quote her exact words,
''never saw such a houseful of insists
in my life. mother and daughters all
decked out in one another's clothes, a
portion of each wardrobe having been
purchased for some one else 10 be
!. sure, these charming people were ready
to lend me everything they had, but
unfortunately much preferred wear
ing my own clothes, which were almost
invariably scattered all over the house.

wnl the Earth Ever BE Funs

Mr.. Ravenstein, of the Royal Geo
graphical society, estimates that the
fertile lands of the globe amount to
2s.OOO,oOo square miles, the steppes to
100000 and the deserts to 100000.
Fixing 207 persons to the square mile
for fertile lands, ten for steppes and one
for deserts as the greatest population
that the earth could properly nourish,
he arrives at the conclusion that when
the number of inhabitants reaches
about 6,OOO,0OO,oOO. our planet will be
peopled to its full capacity. At pres
ent 1t contains about one-quarter of
that number. If the rate of increase
shown by recent census statistics should
be uniformly maintained, Mr.. Raven
stein shows that the globe would be
fully peopled about the year 2072. But
such calculations do not allow for I'M
known sources of error, and must not
be taken too literally.-Youth's Com
