A FEW REQUISITES.
What Was Wanted of a Girl in One
Household.

The hired girl out of job cast her eagle
eye over the want notices of the newspaper.
Wanted, Wanted, Wanted" she read in
one or two-line ads, straight down the col
umn, shaking her head at intervals as if
disappointed in her search. Finally her
face lightened as she saw loaded notice
in another column of more pretensons than
it's fellows.
She turned to it and read eagerly. Then
she threw the paper from her.
whats the matter?" asked the girl with
her.
'Read that" and she gathered up the
sheet and handed it over to the other one,:
who read this notice:
'Wanted-A young and strong woman of,
good disposition and habits, obedent and
knowing her place, willing and ready, act;
i've and efficient, to cook, wash and iron, do
general housework and take care of chill!

THE INGENIOUS MAN.
His Invention Was Forgotten in Time
of Need.

He was very ingenious man. He had
made an invention which was of great value.
He thought so, at least, if the world did not,
and he had his invention patented. It
was combination camp-stool, cane and UNI.
brella. The cane was the usual form of the
invention. At big parade nothing could be
more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex-
pected rainstorm, what could be better?
A man is sure to have his walking stick with
him.
It was not so very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There were no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with vengeance,
reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and
pretty wet.
"Well, we are here at last" said the man,
drawing long breath of relief
"Yes,' said the wife, disconsolately, "but
| think have ruined my new bonnet. And,
John Smith, she added, suddenly, with a
done? You had that old invention of yours
cane camp stool-umbrella affair-in your
hand all the time ready for an emergency,
and forgot to use it,

She Wanted All the Days.

There is always a bountiful crop of stories
en-, new Congressional S + women, at this SCI" sea-.
son of the year. Most of the tales are
apochryphal, but this one is perfectly true,
for the stationer himself told me about it.
The woman is the wife Of member from
somewhere in the west, and she had never
been in Washington till a fortnight ago.
She went to a stationer's to order visiting
cards.
"What day do you wish engraved on
them?" asked the clerk.
"Oh," answered Mrs. Congressman, GIVE
got to have several days. 1 can't make all
my calls in one day. Engrave me some cards
for Monday calls, and some for Tuesday,
and-well, it's going to be expensive, but
guess I've got to do it. Make me some for
every day in the week except Sunday

MOTHER DRuDGE's BABIES.

Their little cottage stands apart
From all it's splendid 'neighbors.
AS if it felt touch of shame
At Mother Drudge's labors.
A bit of vine to make, it sweet
Is all it has, or, maybe, .-
A parsy in a broken pot
TO please the precious baby.
And there she lies from dawn till dark
TO keep the kettle going,
For all the comforts of their lot
Must be of her bestowing.
And would she even breathe prayer,
So scanty are her riches,
Her poor petitions must be dropped
Between her hurried stitches.
With rosy cheeks and rugged limbs,
With tidy caps and dresses,
She sees her bonny children blessed,
And comforts their distresses.
Unconscious Of the stinted lot,
And ignorant of crosses,
"Twould seem a shame to pity those
Who never dream of losses.
And yet of all their little lives
They miss this browning glory,
To cuddle close in mothers arms
And listen to her story.
They never watched how many stars
Are in the golden dipper,
Or fell asleep at dark to dream
Of Cinderella's slipper.
The doughty giant Hercules
May charm their wiser neighbors-
They never heard word of him
Or all his mighty labOrs!
OF Midas, and the golden touch
He craved to make him richer;
Or how the milk came foaming up
In old Philemon's pitcher.
The daily fight for daily bread,
For little coats and dresses.
Leaves scanty time for Mother Drudge
To dream of tendernesses,
Yet though the days and weeks are full
OF disappointed maybe's
Life seems a sweet and pleasant thing
To Mother Drudge's babies.

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.
Common Error COrrected-Facts Con-
corning Their Reliability and
Integrity Are Given.

A very common error is prevalent
that the work Of reporters given in
newspapers as rule is not entitled to
assumed that the reporter writes chiefly
or wholly to make a sensation, or in
some way interest readers without re-
gard to facts, while just the reverse is
the truth in all reputable newspaper es-
Establishments.
It is safe to assume that the state
ments of reporters given in the leading
reputable journals of the country are
quite as truthful as are the general
statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside of strictly reli
gious teachings, and very much more
truthful than are:the public expressions
Of most, if not all, of the leading pro-
LESSONS.
With very few exceptions the man
agement of our leading daily newspa-
pers enforce truthfulness and fairness
as the supreme attributes for a news
paper writer, and vet it is common for
all who are displeased with any repor-
to1ial statement to say that Sits mere
newspaper story"
Not only are the managers Of our
leading newspapers entitled to great
credit for the scrupulous care they en-
force on their reporters and CORE
spondents to present the truth with
as exact fairness as is possible, but the
public little know the ceaseless care
that is exercised in every reputa BILE
newspaper office to prevent the publi-
cation of even the truth when it would
be more harmful to publish than to sup
press it.
There is not week, indeed, hardly
day, that the newspapers of this city
do not suppress the facts proper for
public information which would make
a most interesting story, solely because
it would bring a flood of sorrow to the
innocent and helpless and cast an i'm
perishable shadow upon their lives.
Withallthe errors necessarily commit
ted in a newspaper office by reason of
the haste with which the articles must
often be prepared, the public little
knows with what thorough integrity
the newspapers, as a rule, protect the
innocent even at the cost of suppressing
legitimate and interesting information.
The skeletons of hundreds of house.
holdsare carefully guarded in the news
paper Offices of the country, and gener-
ally without even the knowledge of the
people who are thus protected.-Phila-

"By the way, Tom" said Mr.. Manning
to his son, fresh from academic groves,
