seen before; silken covered bottles with
ribbons tied to them; paper holder
deiicately embroidered; photographs of
myself in little golden frames and
others, reminding me of times and
faces well-nigh forgotten; a hundred
trities that, one by one, had gone un-
noticed into the building of my home
and happiness. / opened a bureau
drawer full of plush covered boxes and
silken belts and ribbons, and the smell
of violets. In one of the boxes there
were "A lot of old beads and bracelets,
a discarded neck chain and many
useless trinkets-the delight of some
far distant day. In another box there
was an old photograph of me-a cal
low looking youth-and a bundle of
letters. | united them and sat down
comfortably to look them over. l had
written lot of high-sounding rubbish
in those letters; | had made many
promises; | had painted many pictures
of what the future was to bring us. 1t
had all been very different-a life full
of drudgery for both, and for her it
must have been desert. l thought
loneliness that she had spent in that
gloomy fiat. i put up the letters and
went into the sitting-room. 1t was two
o'clock, and l took book from its
shelf and lay down upon the sofa in
vain quest after knowledge. This time
1 would set my ears on guard and read
aloud. l remember when / had fin
ished there was in my consciousness
about this impression of what had
read:
Il purpose TO write the history of
England from the accession of King
James the Second down to a time that
is within the memory of men still liv-
ing. l shall recount the errors; Good
Lord! / have made many errors"
And SO it went. One standing near
would have heard the first chapter in
well-known history of England, but
/ heard only the history of my recent
life. l threw the book aside presently
and fell asleep. When 1 awoke il was
near five o'clock. The fiat was as dark
and silent as tomb. My wife would
be coming soon, and thought would
get the dinner started. So / strung the
beans ind pared the potatoes and got a
fire going. The pots were boiling mer-
rily in short time, and then spread
the table and got out some of our best
china. 1t occurred to me, suddenly,
that few flowers would improve the
looks of the table, and so | hurried
down to a near shop and bought lot of
roses and ferns. On my return a
strong odor greeted me at the door.
The water had boiled out of one of the
pots and the beans had touched bot
tom. The potatoes were also crumbling
on the verge of dissolution. i made
things move SO quickly then that
scalded my hand with not steam. l
lost my temper for moment and flung
the empty potato kettle into the air.

New Mother-in-Law story.

A Cleveland man who went east to spend
his vacation brought home W ,th him what he
thinks is a new mother-in-law story. Moth
erin-law stories are drug on the market,
but this one seems to oe little less druggy
than usual A man and his wife went TO
Europe and the mans mother-in-law went
along. Up to this point there is no novelty
in the story. On the voyage the motherin-
law fell i'll and died. OF course she had to be
buried at sea, and so the usual canvas sack
was made, but instead of an iron weight to
sink the body they used big bag of coal. IL,
commenting on the arrangements afterward
the bereaved son-in.law, who suffered bad
ly, said: "I-always knew where m-m-m
mother-in-law was g-going, but b-b-blame me
if s-s-supposed she'd have to carry her own
f.f.fuel. ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Woman. Worries.

Said a physician: II wonder that
women fail to appreciate how much
nervous force as well as physical
strength they consume in worrying
over the little things of life. Look at
the mother and housewife as she goes
about her tasks and observe how often
she utters an impatient exclamation,
how often she sighs over her servants
shortcomings, how often she starts
nervously al a noise from one of the
children. And each time that she loses
control over herself, her nerves, her
temper. she losts just little nervous
force, just little physical well being,
and moves a fraction of an inch far
ther on in the path that leads to pre-
mature old age and to invalidism.-N

WORE BROTHERS. COLLARS.
An Up-to-Date Girl Tells OF a Good
Joke That Fell Upon Her
Young Brother.

Two up to date girls occupied seat

such high pitch Of voice that It af-
forded a mild degree of interest and
amusement for nearly all of the other
passengers. "les, wear my brothers
collars" one of the girls remarked,
after the two had settled the question
of who should pay the fare. "lle is
only kid, you know, just Is, and his
collars fit me to a L. But he gets awful
mad at me, because says that he

"Of course, it's just like all college

on Frank was just too rich for any

WHAT THEY EXPECT.
An Instance of the Unreasonable Ex-
pectations OF some New
women.

She was a new woman and was rather
proud of the fact that she had a place in the
world of business that enabled her to regard
herself as being on an equality with man.
But there was one thing that annoyed her.

= little farther out than | do, and | don't
mind saving that he doesn't know what
courtesy and gentlemanliness is.
"What does he doy' inquired her big
brother, who doesn't think very much of
new women, anyway, and is consequently OPP
posed to his sister being in the world of busi'
ness.
"It isn't what he docs" she replied; cts
what he doesn't do, Time and again he has
let me stand up all the way downtown, when
il would seem as if the very least be could
have done was to get up and offer me his
seat"
That is wrong, isn't it?" returned the
big brother.
ats contemplate selfishness, that's what
il is, she answered.
"The fact that he is in possession Of a
seat" went on the big brother "of course
does not entitle him to il II a fellow clerk of
the opposite sex. happens to want it., And
yet men in business will do those things.
Why, | know girl who has twice the griev-
ance you have in that line"
Whats happened to herl' she asked.
"Man there first and refused to give up
when she came along" he explained.

"No; give up his job. She has discovered
that it would just about suit her, but the
great big brute of a man hasn't chivalry and
courtesy enough to get up from his desk, bow
politely and say: Madam, permit me to offer
you my job Actually, he just hangs right
on to it himself and let's her go hunting round
for something to do. Most ungentlemanly
isn't it? But, do You know, think the old
fashioned courtesy is"

that. She merely said he was mean thin.
