This young man arrived In Chicago

TO secure meal and pay his room rent
until he could secure position. Be-
lieving he could find some man who
would help him if he told his story in
straightforward manner, he entered q

He was about to explain his condition

storekeeper.
"The young man was pushed toward
the door with the money In his hand,
and, try as he would, the storekeeper
would not let him talk. Once in the
street the bewildered fellow considered
the matter in every detail and decided
to keep the money. This he did, and
month or so later he again walked into
the cigar store and told his story and
returned the money."-Chicago News.

The skill of a Mouse.


One day naturalist lay motionless
on fallen log In the forest and silent
ly watched an animal at play in the
grass near by. This was large,
brown backed nouse, meadow
mouse, that had come out from his
home under the log and when tired of
play had sat up to make his toilet.
Using his forepaws as hands, the
mouse combed the white fur on his
breast and licked himself smooth and
hleell. Satisfied at length with his ap-
pearance he began to search for food.
He did not have far to go, for few
stalks Of wheat grew among the thick
weeds near at hand. The mouse was
SO large that he could probably have
bent the stalk down and brought the
grain within reach. If not, he could
certainly have climbed the stalk. He
did not try either of these plans, how
ever, for these were not his ways.
Sitting up very straight he bit through
the stalk as high up AS he could reach.
The weeds were SO thick that the
straw could not fall Its full length, and
the freshly cut end settled down upon
the ground, with the straw still erect
and the grain out Of reach. The mouse
again bit the straw in two, and again
the upper portion settled down. In
this way he bit off FIVE lengths Of
straw before he could bring the grain
within reach of his paws. These fore
paws We're very skillfal little hands,
and he deftly husked grain and ate
1t, sitting erect and holding 1t to his
mouth as naturally as boy would
hold All apple.-Our Animal Friends.

Pay Day In China.

New Years is the national pay day
In China. All accounts must be squar-
ed up at that time, and the man VINO
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases If there Is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business repu-
tation Of the clan. New Years is a
great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the new year. There are crowds
also who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect

Danger of Being Too oblisins.

The other evening, while attending a
lecture, Howard Tomlins observed, sit
ting three seats In front. man whom
he recognized as an intimate acquaint-
ance. Tomkins requested the person
who occupied the seat next to him to
lean forward and poke the other indi-
vidual with his stick. The polite stran-
ger at once obligingly did SO.
When the disturbed person turned
his head a little to find out the cause of
the poke. Tomkins discovered his mis-
take-that be was not the person he
had taken him for.
Fixing his attention steadfastly on
the lecturer and affecting complete un-
consciousness of the whole affair, Tom
kins left the obliging man with the
stick to settle with the other for dis
turbance. There was, as may be readi-
ly imagined, ludicrous and embar-
rassing scene. during the whole Of
which Tomkins evidenced the pro-
foundest possible interest in the lee
ture.
At last the man with tho stick asked
in aggrieved and indignant tones:

night he had not had 4S hours sleep all

not lie down to sleep. The horse that
sleeps in a standing position rests one
leg at time, depending on the other
three to sustain the weight of his body.
The habit is a very dangerous one. On
