And When Discharged Wanted n Certifi-
cate For Ability and Honesty.
Clancy fellow picking your pocket
and asking for character, ~ said q
business man the other day. "That's
been my experience. l hired young
man about month ago to solicit orders
for me on commission, with $40 week
guarantee. AS he turned nothing in
after a fortnight began to suspect that
he was working for another firm and
doing nothing to earn the $40, SO told
him that if no order materialized by
the end of the week he must not expect
to continue in my employ.
81 made inquiries which convinced
me that he was doing what suspected,
but got no legal proof that he was TAX
ing my money on false pretenses. So
when the week was up was forced to
pay him third $40, making $50 in all,
which, I felt sure, he had done little or
nothing to earn. Before doing SO told
him Of my suspicious, which was fool
ish, as met only with denials which
couldn't disprove, although in answer
to the questions of the cross examina-
tion 1 put him through he made state
ments which knew to be lies
"In spite of my accusations he SEEM
ed to think that my paying him the
final $50 was acknowledgment that be-
lieved his denials, and after receiving
the money he asked if 1 would give q
certificate as to his ability and honesty
in case he found it necessary to call up
on me for one. ANSWERED that would
at least sign nothing against him, for
after paying him to no purpose money
could i'll afford didn't want to make
an enemy of him, but advised him not
to put me to the test. New York Sun.

A Nan Who Is Tired

All the time, owing to impoverished d
blood, should take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla to purify and enrich his blood
and give him vitality and vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack
of energy is natural consequence
of the coming of warmer weather,
which finds the system debilitated
and the blood impure.
A good spring medicine is a necessity
with almost everyone. Hoods Sar-
saparilla is what the millions take
in the spring. Its great power to
purify and enrich the blood and
build up health is one of the facts
of common experience.

Slight Difference.

Recently Speaker Reed wished to
see a man on some pending legisla.
ton and telegraphed for him to come
to Washington. The man took the
firststrain available, but a washout
on the road made it impossible for
the train to proceed further toward
its destination. Going to further
telegraph station he sent this de-
spatch to the Speaker.
Washout on the line. Can't
come"
When Reed read the message he
sent back this reply (:

Lady Castlerosse heads the list of the
newly elected poor law guardians of
Killarney. She was nominated by her
father-in-law, the Earl of Kenmare.
Her election, it is said, has aroused the
greatest interest among Ireland's poor,
who hope that if members of the aris-

THE CUBAN FLAG,

The flag OF Cuba is a "single star
banner" 1t is composed of five
stripes-three blue and two white.
On the left side there is red tri-
angle with a five pointed star in the
center. The origin of the flag dates
backs to the year 1851, when the
first Cuban insurrection. under the
leadership of Gen. Narciso Lopez,
took place. The stripes Of the flag
were an emblem of liberty, and the
five pointed star indicated the five
provinces which participated in the
uprising.
