unshaven, ragged and forlorn. The
barkeeper has just announced the
winningof turkey. ''Tatters'' scuff1es
the white sand on the floor with his
woefully shod feet as he slowly moves
towards the rear of the saloon. The
fumes of the liquor that pervade the
place set his brain on fire. He nerv-
ously clutches the dime and looks
Iongingly at the whisky bottle. There
is a hard struggle within him. There
is a voice in his breast tonight that
has not spoken to him before for
years. A man in front of him calls
for glass of gin. The sight of it
maddens "Tatters.'' It is on his

other turkey has been brought out

wan face is turned toward his.

Proper Treatment OF Servants.

Never treat the servant as a servant.
Treat her rather as guest.
For example, when she comes, cause
to be inserted among the personals In
the newspapers something like this:
miss Birdie Mulligan is spending a
few days with Mr.. and Mrs Merton
Jones, at the Nettles.''
A guest, you know, is far less likely
TO go away than a servant, and when
she goes you don't feel nearly so badly
about it.-Detroit journal.
