A vIcARIoUS pENANcE.

Holy Week Procession.

The self-impcsed penance of the ia

the weight of their sins, to be visited
upon their children unto the last gen
GRAFTON of their seed. At least, it is
true that the staggering youth before
us is the twentieth of his name and
line who has done vicarious penance
for the sins of his forefather, a celeb
rity of the sixteenth century, who
looked ION beauty charming" with
the eyes of Don Juan Tenodio. He was
finally captured, the legend relates,
by Barbary corsair, and carried a
prisoner to Oran, where, manacled
and chained, he spent many long
and weary day wishing that he were.
dead. But while he pinned hopelessly
in prison he made solemn VOW that
should he ever regain his liberty, he
would walk barefooted, and humbly
bearing his cross, behind the Christ of
the Great Power in every madrugada,
or morning procession; and, further,
he vowed that he would make the an
nual accomplishment of this VOW
charge upon his estate for all time, by
providing that, should any one of his
male descendants fail in it's perform
ance, his portion of the estate should
go to enrich the foundation of con-
vent.
There have been no defaulters
among the old gallant's heirs, and
though the present bearer of the
proud name is a perfumed and scented
polio, dude of Seville society, he too
didnot shrink from the sacrifice neces-
sary to keeping the money in the fam
lily. And l regret to say that, as he
came meekly along in this strange
guise, his appearance excited much
amusement among the other pollos,
whose inheritance had come to them
without so unpleasant condition;
and at the sight of his bruised and
bleeding feet much money was wag-
cred on the question of whether he
would be able to lead the cotillon at
the duke of Alba's on Easter Monday.
But perhaps the strangest of all the
array of silent maskers who followed
the Christ of the Great Power was a
little girl of some IL summers, clothed
in her communion robes, weird and
ghostly apparel for this the dark hour
before the dawn. Her eyes were blind
folded, and, unlike the hoods of the
Nazarenes, there was not left the
smallest aperture through which she
might look to choose and pick her way.
She carried golden chalice in one
hand, while with the other she CROPPED
and felt her way. Every now and then
misled by the deceiving echo of the
music, she would turn out of the way
now to the right, and now to the left
Once she stumbled and fell, and wher
she rose, in her confusion. started to
walk back the way she had come; but

PRESENCE OF MIND.
He Was n Keen BOY and Was Equal
10 the Occasion When Caught
at Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
In the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took frmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, "Pll
show 'em!"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
Ing his elbow at 32knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had q
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth 1t was glorious.
Suddenly rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that we're husky with emotion:
Here, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there?"
II was one of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare
brown legs up under him, and replied:
"Pm rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said:

HIS SHIRT SHOCKED THEM.
Why the Hotel Paramount Lost It's
Uproariously Appureied Aris-
tocratic Head Waiter.

There is new head waiter at the
Hotel Paramount, owing to succession
of sensations that marked the career
of the first head waiter of the season.
The first head waiter of the season in
a summer hotel is usually bird"
Fairmount's first head waiter was en-
ployed without investigation of his an
tecedents on account of haste. He
looked all right, Mrs. Mills, the man
ager, thought. being tall, smoothly
shaven, and having his blue-black hair
we'll plastered down over his brow.
Imagine the SILVER of distress among
the guests in the beautiful dining-room
when the new head-waiter appeared in
low-cut waistcoat and swallow tail, re-
vealing a broad expense of red-barred
shirt bosom,

what is the matter?" she asked.
isn't the dinner right?"
They threw up their hands in silent
horror.
When spoken to the new head waiter
was not amenable to reproof. He in
sisted haughtily that his costume was
absolutely correct and similar to the
taste of the prince of Wales. 1t was
only by the most supreme exercise of
authority that the tanning of the shirt
was accomplished.
Next to shock the sensibilities of the
jewellers in Fairmount was the head
walters development of peculiar
dance step as he moved about the din
ing-room, which the guests termed
doing the goose foot" His entree re-
sembled, in modified way, the deft
stage entrance of Fritz, the eminent
yodeler. Again it was necessary to
take vigorous measures.
| Meanwhile the head waiter did not
| grow humble. Instead he assumed the
air of purse proud guest and picked
for himself the best room in the house
One day he failed to be present to look
after the serving of breakfast. Just as
it was under consideration whether OF
not his absence should be condoned the
Indicator recorded an imperious cal
from his room. Everybody waited
breathlessly to learn what new horror
awaited the Hotel Fairmount.
'He wants his breakfast served il
the room," was the report; "and hi
wants chops, toast and coffee, with
plenty of cream!"
This was too much, and Mrs. Mills
advertised for another head waiter. Tit

THE KING OF CURIOS.
He Needed Only the Treasure at the
End of the Rainbow to Conn
plete His Collection.

The old king of curios was an en-
thusiastic collector of everything
strange or rare, and he spared neither
pains nor time nor money in adding to
his treasures. a slight idea of the
value of his collection may be gained
from the fact that iteontained, among
other curiosities, the cloak Of Little Red
Riding Hood, nightcap of one of the
Seven Sleepers; the tuffet on which sat
Miss Mu:fet; the pail of Simple Simon;
chimney pot from the house that Jack
built, and picked peppers picked by
Peter Piper.
Now, it happened, one day, that the
king heard Of the treasure at the end of
the rainbow, and nothing would do but
he must have that; and he forthwith
summoned the chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
"Oh, but really, your majecty," said
that functionary, there is only just
enough money in your majesty's cof-
fers to meet the expenses of the state,
and we had to raise a loan on part of
the regalia to get the peppers. 1t is
against the law to put an extra tax
on the people, or we might do it in that
way. Oh, dear!" lie ended, ruefully;
"if we can't, how can we?"
The difficulty of the position only in
creased the kings desire He passed
sleepless nights in consideration, and
then issued q proclamation:
"Oyes! Dyes! Dyes! Whose shall

WON'T DISCUSS FINANCES.
Too Great Il Reticence Between
Sweetheart and Lover Regard
ing the Wife's Income.

There is one phase of false modesty
in this world that should be abandoned
without further parley. 1t is the great
reticcnce kept up between lover and
sweetheart regarding fixed income
after marriage. Young people on the
brink of matrimony refuse to allow
money matters mentioned. They shy
away from financial questions as if a
good American dollar were rattle
snake.
If the pair would settle down to a
practical talk regarding an allowance
misunderstanding of the gravest sort
might be spared both of them later on.
1t is the duty of every husband to
provide q suitable sum of money for
the personal wants of his wife. The
man not willing to do this is unfit to
assume the responsibilities of married
life, and the income insufficient to carry
out this arrangement should not be con-
sidered as support for two.
There is not enough honesty along
such lines during counting days. 1t
may seem very harsh to yank two soar
ing souls down from the clouds and
march them along the straight and
narrow way of bread and butter ex-
istence, but it's only question of the
tumble before or after marriage.
The higher the soaring the harder
the drop.
Men are not half such fools in this
respect as women. They would be only
too glad, many of them, to know just
how they are to stand in the allowance
business. No, indeed; ninety-nine
prospective brides out of hundred
would be insulted if the subject were
| preached to them. But these same
women, after marriage, will get deep
bladders under their eyes from con
slant weeping over financial bicker'
| ings.
| Sweethearts and lovers, cannot you
escape long enough from the great
billing and cooling act to sensibly con
slider ways and means?
| A wife's personal allowance should
be gagged according to her husbands
income, and the social position which
she is to assume. Then she woult
know exactly what she could have ant
what she must do without after SHE
has cast in her lot with her hearts
choice.
Every wife in this land is entitled
