Reflections of a Bachelor.

New York Press: At a certain age
every girl gets an idea that it is culture
to rave over cut-glass.
Just because a man admits that he is
wrong is no proof that he thinks he is
right.
As soon as a man begins to be sorry he
got married. he begins to try TO trap hs
wife into admitting it.
The best points in a story are the ones
you think you would have put in if you
had told it instead of the other man.
The easiest way to make bitter enemy
OF man is to tell him a good story and
then get it off at a dinner before he has a
chance TO-
The only real use the average woman
has for a man IS to shut the front shut
tiers and to blow out the alcohol lamp IN
der the chafng dish.

Mr.. Adarison says it will not accomplish

the water. This man was named MINI
mer. His boy bothered him. showing
pebbles that he picked from the water.
Finally the boy picked up something

father. The latter impatiently ordered
him TO go away, and the boy sat down
on the bank and cried Marshall sought
to comfort him. asking to see what he
had. It proved to be the nugget that

MATES OF GREAT MEN.
The Wives of Both DisraeIi and Gladstone
Were Brave.

The Wives of Both DisraeH and Gladstone
Were Brave.
Once when Gladstone was making an
outdoor speech it began to rain. Quietly
Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, moth
erly face, and who always accompanied
her husband, stood up, and, opening a
domestic looking umbrella of the Camp
species, held it over him. The spectacle
which the old couple presented there
standing together was SO touching and
appealed so thoroughly to the good feel
ingS of tho crowd, because of the strik-
ing picture of Darby and Joan domes-
ITCHY, that when Il burly costermongCr,
who had been loudest il lis catcalls
and hooting of Mr.. Gladstone up to
that moment, suddenly shouted, 'Three
cheers for the grand old woman!' every
one responded with a will.
Lady Beaconsfield showed similar de-
votion to Gladstone's great rival on
more than one occasion. She, too, was
devoted to her husband, and many old
parliameutarians recall the story of how
after having had her hand terribly
crushed in the carriage door while driv-
ing down to the house of parliament
with Disraeli she RETAINED from utter
ing cry or from saying a word about
her injury lest his mind should be divert
ed from tho great and important speech
which he was to deliver that night. 1t

School That Began at Noon.

The Three RS at Circle City, is the
subject OF IL paper by Miss Anna Fulcomer
in The Century. The author says:
During the short winter days it would
often be ECon before all the children put
in an appearance. When l arrived at 8
o'clock, it would either be dark or bril-
liant moonlight. Smoke might be seen
lazily rising from four or five cabins out
of the 400 or 800. l would light one lamp
and wait. BY 10 o'clock few children
would straGgle s!eepily in just rs the day
began to dawn. BY II O'Clock, shortly
after sunrise. the majority of the children
were at school, some coming without their
breakfasts. BY half past u all who We're
coming that day would have appeared.
Ii waS hard TO get up before daylight on
those cold, dark mornings l often used
to wish that l was one of the little girls,
so that l, too, might sleep until daylight.
No one in camp pretended to get up curly
unless there was some special work on
hand which must BIC done. As was 60

When one did not sit up later at night
than 10 or l:alf past it required an effort
to rise before daylight. There is some
thing in the mir and in the manner of life
which makes one sleepy. AS the days
heightened the children came earlier to
