4 Feat Of Courtesy Such as Is very
Rarely Exhibi in This
Country.

Many of us have heard of that Iolita
Partisan cocher- driver-who, during
long afternoon in which he drove an
American lady about the gay capital to
see the sights, responded quite un-
ruined and without as much as mus
Gle twitching, to her constantly re-.
Peated orders to cochon- pig to drive
her here or there. Indeed, foreigners
receive our mistakes in their language
much more courteously than we re-
celVe theirs in ours. Two ladies in Italy,
we are told by a correspondent of the
Companion, had this fact recently
"borne in upon them,'' as the Friends
say, with especial directness.
In the morning their Italian teacher
made slip in her English, and in reply
to an inquiry concerning the oddly
tW'nkling fire embers in her little brass
stove, informed them that the fuel she
employed was ''small wigs
They laughed heartily at the mis-
take, and presently the lady herself
corrected it to twigs, and was amiab1e
enough to laugh also. But that same
DAY they went to see the homeless cats
of the city fed in the cloister of San
Gallo, and were not sure that they had
come at the right time. One of them
turned to the custode and inquired in
Italian, as she supposed: "When will
the cats eat?" but what was really
asked was:
when shall we eat the cats?'
"There is no systematic hour, sig
norina," he replied to this surprising
query, in manner as politely matter
of-course as if it were quite the GUS
tom there to serve kittens on toast to
foreign ladies'! Not flicker of ex-
preston showed that he-perceived the
mistake.
Such steady countenance under
such circumstances, they agreed when
they discovered it themselves, was a
feat of courtesy very rarely exhibited
by an American.-Youth's Companion.

SHE PREFERRED DEATH FIRST
Before She Would Make q Fright
Of Herself with Life Preserves.

She was very plump woman. There
are people who say they would like to be
just as plump, but the woman herself is al.
ways thinking of ways and means by which
her appearance of diameter and circumfer-
ence may be reduced, and anything that will
apparently increase she regards with dis
like that is little short of adherence. But
i there is one thing that she disikes more
than her comfortable plumpness, 1t is the
water. SO, when one day, on steamer in
q fog, there was collision, she was even
more unhappy than most people are under
such circumstances, though it was related
atterward that she behaved with great cool
ness. There was fortunately no more seri-
GUS result from the collision than several
hours delay, but no one was quite sure in
that time what the next minute would bring
forth. The husband of the woman with the
comfortable plumpness, like the good hus-
band that he was, Immediately after the &C.
cldent found life preservers, and in mat.
ter OF fact way started to assist his wife to
put one on. But she recoiled with such hor-
ror that for moment he was not sure but
the shock had deprived her of her senses.
Put on one of those things% she almost
shrieked. Never! Just look at that fat
woman over there with one of them on.
She looks perfect sight,"
And she didn't put the life preserver on,
and it was her good fortune that she had
no reason to regret tn. Y. Times.

A CATS TREACHERY.
Thomas Made Friends with His
~ Natural Enemy and Then
DevOurel Him.

A family leaving town for the sum-
mer left behind one Thomas, a big cat,
who had a reputation throughout the
street in which he lived as a fighter
and ratter.
Provision was made for Thomas sub
sistence during the summer with the
milkman, who each morning poured
into dish inside the area some milk.
Thomas, while vicious enough to
other than intimate acquaintance,
was while at home of a sociable DISPOSE
ton. Personally he missed a great deal
the family and the pet pug, with whom
he was on the best of terms.
At any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and told
them Tom was playing in a most friend
~ manner in the area with an immense
rat y 't9@s q
Every body tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made new
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was jumping around the saucer in the
most unconcerned manner. 4 h i.
But alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature! For a few days all went
well between the strange friends. They
were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best of terms.
One morning, however, Bridget coming
downstairs found the rats headless
body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood.
Either the whi'om friends had quar-
relied, or, relieved by the return of the
family from the necessity of taking up
with any acquaintance he could make,
Thomas had decided to give up his
friendship. And with that decision
probably his normal instincts had re-
sumed their sway.-Golden Days.

HE MUST LIVE.
A Patient Who Was Bound to Last
Long Enough to Draw His
4 81 - Pension.

1t would be in vain to attempt to
describe the sympathy for the. poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his biogra-
pher. One of the stories he used to tell
is Of peculiar interest, not only for it's
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old pensioner was patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was despaired Of and in fact his death
was hourly expected. One morning.
having the patients to care for, and
believing that the pensioner was I'M
conscious and past help, DIR. Stokes
passed his bed without stopping. The
patient was greatly distressed and cried
out:
Don't pass me by, doctber; you
must keep me alive for four days."
IS ''We will keep you as long as we can.
my poor fellow answered Stokes;
aa'''but why for four days particularly ?''
ssas Because" was the reply, my pen
sion will be due then, and I want the
money for my wife and children Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
if Lsleep | shall die
On the third day after this, to- the
amazements of Stokes and the others,
the patient was still breathing. On
the morning of the fourth day he was
alive and conscious, and on entering
the ward, Stokes saw him holding in
his hand the certificate which required
signature. AS the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped: y
'Sign, sign!"
The doctor quickly complied, and the
man sank back exhausted, and within
a few minutes crossed his handsover
his breast and said: The Lord have
mercy on my soul and quietly
breathed his last .-Y outh S Companion.

A Poser.

A small youth of some six summers
whose fathersiss accustomed to supple

WHEN MOTHER CAME HOME.

Carl came in from the baseball game
When he heard the clock strike two.
He had to put on his Sunday clothes,
AS the train would soon be due. A..
His good sister fixed his best blue tie,
Then took from the china bowl
A pink, like one the president wears,
And put it in his buttonhole-,-.-.
For mother was coming home.
He ran all the way to the station,
. For fear that he might be late,
But the baggageman smiled and told him
He had a whole hour to wait. ..-
Which made him feel very impatient:
An hour at a station, you know,
Is twice as long as anywhere else
Carl thought it would never go,
When mother was coming home.
Q the days that had been such long, long
days
Since the mother went to town,
And her boy, somehow, kept seeing
things"
At nighttime when he lay down.
Then every unkind word and deed
To that dearest one of all,
When the moon shone in his window,
seemed
To be written on the wall
But mother was coming home.
Then his arms he'd throw about her neck,
While he kissed her Ger and DER,
And promise her he'd never make
Her dear heart ache any more.
But-what if the train ran off the track!
He paced the wide station round,
And in his heart he prayed to God
To bring it in safe and sound,
For mother was coming home.
Soon he heard the shrill whistle at the
bend,
Then the engine plunged in sight,
And the fastest train over road
Thundered in on time, all right
When the mother from the chair car
stepped,
Her dear heart was full of joy
70 see the glad look upon the face
OF her waiting. loving boy,
Because mother had come home.
