SAW THE FURNACE.
The host looked at his guest.

! The host looked at his guest.
"COme down in the BASEMENT" he
said, with slight wink ST want to
show you my furnace"
The hostess glanced up with queer
little smile.
"Mr. Stiverson is quite daft about
his furnace, Mr.. Jollyboy," she said,
''I've no doubt he'll have you down
there every time he opens damper."
The host turned away and choked
slightly, and then they stepped down
the stairs together.
Mr.. Stiverson went straight to the
furnace room and, reaching above
the bricked in heater, pulled down a
squat black bottle and small glass.
He filed the latter.
"Here's to the furnace" he said,
with a hoarse chuckle, as he passed
the glass to his guest. ''Have to be a
little careful, you know, on account
of the old lady. Best woman in the
world, of course, but prejudiced.
How's that2" The guest gulped and
took down the contents of the glass.
"Now, what would you call that?"
"Well replied the visitor, with
horrible grimace, "to be frank with
you, I would call it a mighty good
sample of spoiled cider vinegar"
"Eh! What?" And the host hastily
poured out glass and took mouth
full. "Woww-w! So it is. Hang it
all, the old lady has discovered the
hiding place! Wonder what in thun-
der she did with the real stuff? Heav-
ems! What a contemplate trick! Let's
60 up stairs" And they went.
CHOW did Mr.. Jollyboy like the fur
nace?" inquired the hostess as she
looked up with peasant smile.
The calculated guest did his best to
call up smile in return.
'tIt's a SPLENDID furnish-I should
say furnace" he remarked. 81 don't
think I ever saw one with better ap-
pointments outside and inside"
"And on top, too?" quired the host
ess sweetly. Then she pointed to the
open register at her feet.
"It's quite wonderful" she added,
chow distinctly the sound of voices
in the furnace room below comes up
through the register. I could hear
every word you said!"
Then she laughed softly.
But the men made no comment

Not Very FIattering.

Last winter a delegation of Indians
from a far western state, on a tour of
inspection through the interior depart
ment, visited the land office, where
they were introduced to the clerk who
had especial charge of their section Of
the country, a bumptious little individ-
ual with a big head. This official pro-
ceeded to Overpower the red men with
his Importance. Grasping each one Of
them cordially by the hand, he patted
them patroniZingly on their backs
and then delivered a long speech, ex-
pldining in detail the work of the Of
flee, their interest in it, laying particu-
lar stress on the fact that he was the
motive power of it all. AS soon as
their entertainer paused for breath the
visiting Indians began to grunt and
talk among themselves.
What are they saying?" asked the
egOtistical clerk, expecting to hear
high praise of himself. Tell me what
they are saying"
Il cannot tell you,' replied the inter-
prefer. 1T was not for you to hear"
But the little man insisted, and with
great reluctance the interpreter finally
yielded. ''They said" he translated,
Little man, big head, heap talk, say
nothing, much fool."-Washingt Let
ter in New York Tribune.

A Change All Around.

'There goes a party that will be
heard FROM" said Smith, pointing to a
young man who was going down the
street. "He has managed to keep his
head in love and financial matters, and
they are the two great tests.
1.-TWO months ago he was a young
man with all the world before him and
with no prospects ahead of him except
a determination to fight life's battles.
"He was in love with a young lady
living in this city, but his financial con-
dition prevented him from declaring
his passion; besides he was not sure
that the young lady in question cared
for him.
But by one of those curious turns of
the wheel of fortune an old aunt, that
he had never seen, died and left him q
large sum of money. Without delay he
called upon the young lady and asked
her to marry him, saying nothing
about the fortune that had been left
him. He met with a point blank re-
fuSal.
1.-TWO days later the girl heard of
his unexpected windfall and wrote him
a note saying, I have changed my
mind
His answer was just as short It
said:
$50 have I'"-Detroit Free Press.

SHE WAS YOUNG.

"One thing is certain" an affianced
maid announced, with decision, on
the eye of her wedding husband
shall never call me mamma Ho
may call me Clara or Mrs. Richards
or even Say but I shall never be
personal name"
We mammas who heard her only
smiled and answered nothing at all,
for each Of US remembered that she
was young and that there were many,
many things that she did not know.
She did not know that when the
sweetheart had changed to the wife
and the wife to the mother there
first time that she feels the downy
head nesting under her chin, that
first time that she feels the restless
pat, pat of little feet as she vainly
tries to prison them in her hand, she
learns then that her life has burst into
a new and wonderful fullness. In her
heart there is kindled the fire of love,
and the incense that arises from it
glOrifies the whole atmosphere, and
the warmth envelops her and her
baby in an everlasting mantle.
Then in the dim light she sees bend
ing over her the one she loves best of
all, and she reaches out her hand to
him to draw him near, that he, too,
may breathe the sacred incense and
be warmed by the heavenly fire. Lay
ing his hand in hers, they look togeth-
er into the new little face, but no word
comes to express the strange sweet
feelings that are surging through
them both until, bending close to her,
he softly whispers, mamma"
It is baptism. All the sweet, in
tangible things that have been filing
her being have been caught and held
in that word. The world may TEEN
with mammas, but the name to her
has new and sacred meaning. 9th
er names have been given her, other
promises have been made in the Civ
ing and in the taking, but nothing so
tender, so strong, so sweet as this,
and her whole being goes out in ST.
lent promise to live up to the sacred
ness of that name.-Wonaan's Home

Cuafer,a Indian Attack.

The late Charles Osborn, the New
York broker, and General Custer were
Intimate friends, and Osborn annually
visited the general at his camp on the
plains. During one of the Indian cam
paigns he invited Osborn and a party
of friends out to Kansas and, after Civ
ing them a buffalo hunt, arranged a
novel experience in the way of an In
dian scare. AS Osborn was lying in
his tent one night firing was heard at
the outposts and the rapid riding of
pickets. Boots and saddlesy' was the
order in the disturbed atmosphere Of
the night, and Custer appeared to Os-
born loaded with rifle, two revolvers, d
saber and a scalping knife.
Charles" he said in his quick, nerv
Gus way, "you must defend yourself.
Sitting Bull and Flea-In-Y Boots,
with Wiggle-Tail-Jim and Scalp-Lock-
Skowheban, are on us in force. [ did
not want to alarm you before, but the
safety of my command is my first du-
ty. Things look serious. If we don't
meet again, God bless you"
The broker fell on his knees. "Cus-
ter" he cried, "only get me out of this!
I'll carry 100000 shares of Western
Union for you into the firm to get me
home. Only save me"
But Custer was gone, and the camp,
by shrewd arrangement, burst into a
blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoops
were intermixed until suddenly a
painted object doomed on Osborn's
sight, and something was flung into his
face-a human scalp. He dropped to
the ground, said the Lords Prayer
backward and sideways until the noise
died away and there was exposed a
lighted supper table with this explana-
ton on a transparency:

ST cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me. L have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
1 had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint
ing spells, and could not stand long
at a time. 1 also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand were something dreadful. A
friend handed me little book of yours,
so got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and the tumors
have all gone and do not suffer anv
pain. I am still using the Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief as have done from its use. -
