just Like a Girl,

He is very young boy. His is the
age when lofty contempt for the oppo-
site sex manifests itself, the contempt
which usually finds merciless retribu-
tion in later years.
His task of watching the baby was
not as distressing as it might have been.
He had utilized the bassinet as era
die and had found q place where the
floor sloped little.
Behind the vehicle he extended him
self and with head on hand proceeded
to read story paper. An occasional
pull at a string fastened to the rear axle
impaired the motion necessary to keep
the slumberer from waking. But the
baby soon had it's nap out and began to
cry, The boy paid no attention to the
noise, and after awhile his sister came
to investigate.
Il suppose You are going to lie there
and wait for the baby to learn to talk
so it can tell you what it's crying
about?"
~No;" he answered, "being able to
talk wouldn't make much difference
"Why not?"
Because it's q girl Girls never
know what they're crying about 1t
just comes natural to them to do it. -

President O'Hanlon of the Penning-
ton IN. j. seminary used to preach
every Monday morning at Ocean Grove,
and one of his regular hearers was
ii good Methodist brother who used
to shout "GloryP whenever anything
pleased him. Once in awhile this shout
would come in at an inopportune mo-
ment.
After DR.. O'Hanlon had been preach
ing on Monday mornings for a number
OF years he arose one day to announce
his text. He introduced his remarks
with these words: Brethren, have
been preaching here at Ocean Grove on
Monday mornings for a number of
years, but some of these days when you
are gathered here will be missing, for
the grass will be growing over my
grave. Just then the shouter uttered
a shriIl "Oh, G-l-o-r-yp'
Sedate as was that congregation, there
went up a hearty laugh. The doctor
was equal to the occasion. He put his
hands in his pockets, leaned back and
said, @'Well, brother, what have you
got against me?'' The laugh was turn
ed, order was soon restored, and the
doctor preached with his usual power
and acceptability. New York Tribune.

The Americans In Egypt.

Americans, occupy an important posi-
tion in extending the prosperity and
civilization of modern Egypt.
Not only do they form at least one
third of the tourists visiting Egypt, and
number some of the leading Egyptolo-
gists, but the beneficent effect of their
missions and schools is everywhere ap-
parent throughout Egypt. The magni-
tude of their Christian operations may
be gathered from the fact that the
Egyptian mission of the American Pres
byterians has 100 stations, 90 churches
and 81 schools. Ask little Egyptian
child where it has learned it's English,
and it will very probably answer, cat

doctors, too, are of much service. An

been sent to an American mission physi-
clan, who came on board, attended to
her and removed her to the hospital at

In one of the suburban towns near the
capital lives widow we'll endowed
with worldly goods. whose husband,
with sort of posthumous jealousy, has
guarded against her re-marriage by
providing that she shall lose all her
property if ever she takes another hus-

for several years from an elderly Grand
Army OF the Republic veteran. She has
been very good to him too. Once when
he wanted to parade with his comrades
she bought him an expensive blue suit
with brass buttons on it, He wanted to
marry her, but the will OF the selfish
dead man stood between. So after a
time be married somebody else The
widow was broken hearted She recalled
the suit with the brass buttons. She
recalled hundred kindnesses shown
the old soldier. She bewailed his peril

you expect? He wanted wife to make
"a home for him. You couldn't marry
him. So why do you complain?'

Picking Pockets with Toes.

The gauchos, or dwellers in the ex-
tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both hands
and feet. Many Of them have acquired
through long practice such skill in
using their toes as if they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time ago
a Frenchman who was fishing in one of
the rivers of Buenos Ayres was warned
to be on his guard against the light fin
gered natives. He forthwith kept a Wig
liant watch on his companions, but
nevertheless one day, when his attention
was closely riveted on his float, willy
gaucho drew near, and, delicately in
serting his foot, extracted the French
mans hooks and other valuabIes from
nis pocket. Boston Transcript.

jean Richepin's Career.

The story of how he came to adopt q
literary career is sufficiently picturesque.
For some time he had picked up pre-
carious livelihood by doing todd jobs, I"
including such prosaic occupations as
that of bootblack and casual porter on
the Quai Marseilles One day he was
engaged by gentleman to carry to the
railway station heavy trunk. Arrived
at the station, there was an instant
mutual recognition. They were old col
lege chums. "What are you doing
here?" asked his friend. Carrying
your trunk, I believe" said Jean.
"Why do you do this?' because |
must" Where do you live?'' "Come
and see, . replied Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in an
attic in the poorest quarter of the town.
Upon the table lay scattered heaps of
manuscripts-Jean's incursions in the
realms CT poetry when the more prosaio
duties Of the day were over. Looking
through them, his friend was astounded
at their quality. "Why do you carry
trunks and blaeEen boots when you can
do work like this?' he asked. Richepin
had never given the matter thought;
he had never deemed these products of
idle hours worthy of publication. Pub
lisEed they were, however, in a very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin has never looked back. West
