Nose was very proud of it. The

Nose and his old miss trudging
along afoot. 1t was raining
slightly and the Squire noticed
that Nose was bareheaded and was
carefully protecting his new hat
With his coat.
'Why don't you wear your new
hat, Nose" injured the squire.

DEATHS DISGUISE.

Q death, when from the dark you lean
Toward her eyes and her sweet hair,
Come with no menace in your mien
And bring no face of horror therel
because so long since ] have passed,
Though not to go l was so fain,
And may not hold her at the last
To kiss away the parting pain.)
Come to her when the sunlight dips,
No grisly shape or weird surprise,
To smile upon her with my lips
And gaze upon her with my eyes.
30 may she, with her fainting breath.
NauRht knowing any sob or tear,
Stretching tired arms to thee, dear death.
Kiss thy white check without "A fear.

VAN BOOZEM'S SCHEME.
1t Did Not Pan Out just As Ho Antici.

1t Did Not Pan Out just As Ho Antioi.
pated II Would.
Van Boozem had made up his mind
to save money. No more quarters for
luncheon, he said, and he bit off the
words with a snap to his teeth.
Hereafter | shall go in for the free
article, then the nickel with which I'll
buy something to wash it down will
make the meal cost but five cents.
Great scheme! Great saving! Nothing
like economy"
Whereupon Van Boozem jammed his
hat down on his head and stalked out
of his Office swapping the spring lock
of the door behind him.
Across the way, at the corner above,
was clean little place he remembered
to have noticed frequently on his way
down to the Office in the morning Then
he recollected that once he had heard
Twiggs remark as they passed it that
IAN elegant free lunch was spread
inside at noon each day.
That settled it, Van Boozem darted
across the street and entered the little
saloon. A white-coated attendant
stood behind the counter. What will
it be?" he asked.
Ginger ale, please" Van Boozem
answered, and tlen he looked around.
He walked over to the end of the
bar and began eating. A sandwich
was finished. Then another followed,
nd 81; I,
calculated Van Boozem, lovely"
After he had finished the eighth the
economical man drank his ginger ale.
Reaching down into his pocket he pro-
duced dime and laid it on the bar.
The white-coated attendant looked
at it, then he looked at Van Boozem.
"Seventy-five cents more" he said
as he fitted a damp cloth across the
polished surface of the counter.
"What?" shouted Van Boozem.
"Seventy-five cents more, please" re-
peated the attendant. Those sand
wiches are 10 cents apiece. You got
away with eight, for l counted 'em.
That makes eighty cents. The ginger
ale is five cents and here's your dime,
so you see there's rs cents more COM
ing"
Gaping and dazed, Van Boozem drew
out a dollar. I'LL thought" he
said, that they were the free lunch. -
Hardly" smiled the waiter as he
rang the cash register. THE free
lunch is cold corned beef and rye bread
down at the other end of the bar.
Since which experience Van Boozem
has lunched daily off ortolans, pate de
fole gras and terrapin, trying to catch
up.

Starting with one car, and funeral
car at that, the Pullman Palace Car
company in 39 years laid aside a sur
plus of $24,OOO,OOO, which was divided

yet he disinherited his two sons. 1t

A WISE CONN MANDER. 1
Lord Howe's Campaign Against the French
and I'ldians.

Lord Howe's Campaign Against the French
and Iidians.
Lord Howe, wh), in 175S, accom-
panied Gen. Abercr ombie in the attack
on Fort TiconderoGa, did not, like the
foolish Braddock, Insist on fighting In
dians and Frenchn en- according to the
military rules of European armies.
While his army IS encamped at AL
bany he forbade ali display of gold and
scarlet in the mar h. and ordered the
barrels of the musl cts to be blackened,
that the soldiers II light not be seen at
a distance by the glittering of their
arms.
He himself set al example by wear
ing a soldiers cos shorn Of its tail,
and leggings made of cloth. The hair
was, in those days worn in a bag or
queue by the officer J. Lord Howe's hair
was abundant and fine, yet he cropped
it, and ordered tn, officers to do the
same. The amourt of personal bag
gage and camp eq lipage then carried
by the officers was enormous.
One day the Off ers were invited to
dine with Lord Hove in his tent. When
they arrived they ere surprised to see
no chairs or tabl IS, but bear skins
spread on the fioor like rugs. Lord
Howe sat down on small log, and the
officers followed his example. Presently
the servants set dt wn large dish of
pork and peas.
Lord Howe took a sheath out of his
pocket, drew from it knife and fork
and began to cut nd divide the pork
The officers sat in Hence, which he in
terrupted by askir if they were not
provided with similar portable instru-
ments. Then he stributed to each a
case like his own.
On the march hH ordered that each
soldier should be provided with pow
dered ginger, and that it should be
mixed with the wa .er with which they
filled their canteeni.
The simple pre- cription saved the
lives of many whila marching through
malarial swamps, he water of which
thirst compelled item to drink. The
wise and gallant lmmander was shot
while leading his ren against an ad-
vanced guard of Il French.

TID-BlTS OF WISDOM.

Some people are always up and do
ing-other people.
The older a woman gets the more
she worries about past years.
Love and seasickness are feelings

Patriotism is frequently used as
cloak by scheming politicians.
Men are not necessarily big guns
because they happen to be big bores.
Before marriage a man swears to
love; after marriage he loves to swear
Some people are naturally nervous,
while others are troubled with prickly
heat.
The man who fails to lay up some
thing for rainy day always has to de-
pend on his friends for an umbrella.

Hard Pine for Kitchen.

Those who have carefully and ex-
perty studied the matter assert that
the best arrangement for a kitchen
floor is hard pine wood with oak finish
ed border. There should be in addi-

WAITS FROM THE ORACLE.

No one can talk about his sickness
without becoming tiresome.
When women admit that a woman
they dislike looks pretty they add "for
her"
Americans are great people to manu-
facture burdens and carry them
around.
If you loaf around store or office a
great deal remember that you are not
welcome.
A man never has as much trouble
with his mother-in-law as his wife has
with hers.
If you can put piece of gum in your
mouth and not chew it you have
strong will power.
When girls marriage is announced
1t is recalled how many times she had
been engaged before.
When the time comes to start off on
a vacation nine out of ten people wish
they were going to stay at home.
We would like to see a man or wom-
an who can keep from worrying, al
though it is said no one should worry.
