CHARLEMoNF, MASS.


A certain young man in this city
q axes a princely income by being a
professional good fellow. AS he has
the field practically to himself, he finds
his labors are now growing to such an
extent that he will soon be obliged to
call in assistance.
The popular young fellow belongs to
no less than sixty social, secret and So
ciety organizations, and not one of
these bodies suspects that he attends
all the meetings as a matter of bust
ness. But he does, all the same.
A prominent caterer, who makes q
speciality of furnishing banquets and
,iinners of all kinds to dining and 9th
er clubs, employs the young man to
look out for his interests whenever n
ball or other entertainment is suggest
ed where the services of q caterer will
be desirable. OF course, the organiza-
ton is generally glad to follow the adj
vic of a popular member, and the ca
terer usually gets the order.
Whenever a new club is organized,
the young man, who can come with
the highest recommendations, is gen
orally the first on the roll. All these
expenses r paid by the caterer, who
is satisfied that his investment is a
frst-class One.-Philadelphia Record.

"Then he hasn't told you he's going

timidly.

"But my dear Monty, you are old
enough to be"
Excuse me, Minnie, l would rather
she were still younger. Marry a child
and you may hope to educate her into
the wife you would cherish in your old
age"
"O!" I gasped, "then what is she
1ike?''
Inclined to be frivolous, but I shall
soon remedy that. The poor girl is only
too glad to find a man who is not hunt
ing her for her paltry five or six hun
dred a year."
That l could readily believe, and in
justice to Monty, I must say that mon
ey, as mere money, does not in the least
appeal to him. Perhaps that is because

Portable.
But he was not a good lover! He
was even then far more interested in
the academy than in his iancee's
charms. There were three or four por-
traits OF lovely that he spoke of
in a way that made me glad the Origi-
mails did not come within his sphere of

EMPLOYMENT FOR DoCToRs.

They Are Anxious to Work for the
Kelley Institutes.
Some of the best physicians in the
United States are in the service of the
Kelley Institutes throughout the
world, and they are well satisfied to be
Ia such a well paying service. Only
doctors who have passed through the
cure themselves, that is, who have
been patients in a Kelley Institute, are
allowed to work for the Kelley Com
pany. 1t is the best doctors who have
been addicted to the use of liquors and
drugs, and therefore led to go to a
Kelley Institute to get cured.
Their excessive duties and hard work
led them to drink to excess or to use
drugs. After being cured they were SO
enthusiastic as to desire to enter the
work. Not one doctor in one thousand.
who has been cured In a Kelley Insti-
tute can find employment with the
Kelley Company, however, because
there are only about fifty institutes in
the various states. But almost all de-
sire to work for the Kelley Company.
The salaries are liberal and the work
s agreeable. Doctors find so much sat-
lsfaction In doing this kind of work,
where they see SO many thousands of
cures effected; no failures at all. OF
course, some men, who possess few
brains, go back to drinking after being
cured; but such men make failures of
everything. They are not to be count
ed. Over 80 per cent of the Kelley
Graduates keep their cures. The 9th
er few prefer the other kind of a life.
The Kelley Cure does not give a man
brains.
A few years ago doctors laughed at
the Kelley Cure. Nowadays, Minneso-
Ia doctors not only send their patients
n the Minneapolis Kelley Institute,
but large numbers of them have taken
the cure which they prescribe for 9th
ers.
Imitators have ruined many homes,
and those interested should beware of
them. Explanatory literature will be
sent any who will write to the Kelley
institute, Tenth street south and Park
avenue, Minneapolis, MINI.

Street Corner Merchant who Is an In

Street Corner Merchant who Is an In
veterate Bookworm.
One does not look to the street mer-
chant who yends peanuts and popcorn
for a high degree of literary culture,
but there is at least n man who fol-
lows that occupation who knows
enough to acceptably fill a professor
skip in the big school down by the
Midway. He is a native Of sunny Italy
ind he lives in Nashville. Under his
display Of peanuts Vincente Costello
always has a box of books, one of
which he reads in every leisure mo-
ment he can snatch from business.
But he will rarely talk of books; the
shrewd people have a way of getting
into a discussion before him, which
warns him into exhibiting his learn
ing. He speaks and reads Italian,
French and English, and has a smat-
terlng of German. He has rare old
chronicles, French and Italian, many
editions of Shakespeare, some of them
magnificently illustrated and bound.
He would go in rags if he had not
money for both books in clothes, said
his dark-eyed Italian wife, whose
great delight is to keep his book case
in good condition. He has a dozen BIZ
bles, Greek and Latin classics, the
works of Boileau, Molier, Rousseau,
Guizot and Victor Hugo complete, vol
umes written by Dante and Ariosto
and Italian and English %encyclope-
dias. He owns few novels but has a
splendid set of Dickens works in for
ty-four volumes, with the original
Cruikshank illustrations, which he be-
slowed, on her eleventh birthday, up
on his daughter, of whom he is max
ing a pianist. 1t would be a liberal ed
ucation in English to read the English
books of this library from the time of
Chaucer to that of Herbert Spencer.
He is not a mere bookworm, but an
intelligent and reflective reader.

A GOOD SIGN.
The Nose of Vast Importance TO the
Reading of Character.

Reading of Character.
Though the other features all reveal
their special characteristics, it is hope
less to try to read and balance them
Alright without first carefully examin-
ing the lose and allowing for the weak
ness or strength indicated by it. The
Roman o. is unfailingly and correct
ly associated with will power and COM
mand; the snub variety with self-as-
sertiveness, and the thin, high-bridged,
hooked type with avarice. A compress
ed nostril is not to be wished for, as it
indicates suspicion and penuriousness.
When the curve is heavy the character
is usually correspondingly dull and un-
interesting; we'll defined, it points out
the well-balanced mind, and perhaps
also a passionate disposition easily
reused and as easily Gained. The lit
tie, pointed, narrow nose proclaims it.
self as impudent and wanting in rever-
ence, and when it is united to a reced-
ing chin and forehead, with eyes close
to the nose, the wider the berth given
the pOssessOr of such unenviable quail
ties the better. SO there is much, very
much, in physiognomy, and ones con-
slant (not first) impressions, though
not always invariably correct, may, on
the whole, be trusted. -"

THE MONUMENT.

I think / may fairly claim to know
more of Monty's peculiarities than
most people for / have known him all
my life.
Therefore, when he told me one af-
ternoon that he was going to be mar
ried, / felt in a position to pity the girl
from the bottom of my heart. Monty"
by the way, is a contraction of "Monu-
ment," a name l specially invented, as
summing up nearly both his physical
and mental aspect.
He. was tall and extremely handsome,
after the style of the later and more
degenerate Greek gods bearing on every
feature and in every movement the
stamp Of languor and of laziness.
He is Incidence personified, and, in
deed, IL you take that away, there re-
mains little or nothing but Obstinacy
with a big o.. This combination
blended together by a thick solution
OF self-complacency, produces, meta
phorically speaking, a stone wall.
You cannot argue with him; he will
neither be convinced himself nor be at
the trouble of convincing you. You
cannot interest him against his will,
q he seldom wishes to be interested.
Finally, you cannot even have the sat
1sfaction of quarreling with him, for
he will not be reused, and looks on
your supremest efforts to anger him
with the easy tolerance of a victorious
Perseus watching Medusa's snaky
locks entwine themselves around his
fingers, and strive to make him relax
his hold.
At one moment of our lives he would
have had me believe in his lordly way
that he was not unwilling to link my
destiny with him. But, strange to re-
late, I remained unmoved by the gold
en- prospect of his companionship, pro-
tracted indefinitely-perhaps e~ternally
and his tentative hints lapsed into
oblivion. To return to the afternoon in
question. Being aware of his artistic
temperament, l naturally jumped at the
conclusion that his choice had fallen
on a daughter of the gods"
"Oh, no." he said in his slow way, "a
beautiful woman is delightful to look
at, but not to marry. She would be
impossible to manage"
Then is she young?" I asked, al
though my curiosity was somewhat
dampened.
Gust IT," he observed, thoughtfully,
and was surprised at my exclamation.

covered himself sufficiently to answer
Enthusiastically:

Crown Prince William of Prussia is
expected to pay a visit to the United
States next year. This youth, the
heir apparent to the TIN one of the
German Empire, who is now in his
eighteenth year, is an intelligent,
well-bred and manly fellow. Like all
the six sons of Kaiser Wilhelm, he has
been carefully trained, especially in
military matters. Prince Frederick
has been a colonel in the German
army since he was ten years old. He
is fearless rider, an accomplished
fencer and as well educated all around
as is possible for youth of his age.
Yet withal he is said to be quiet,
studious lad, fonder of his books than
of his horse or his gun, and more
likely to defend his own country than
to attack others. Thanks to his SIM
pie out-of-door life, his health is ex-
cellent, and he is well grown and
perfect. - New England
