THEY GOT THE CIGARS.
But the Arch COnspirntor May Not
Have Secured One.

a young Cleveland attorney, whose
friends helped him celebrate his wedding,
is now the father of Il rc-c-markably ti"c
baby boy. He's as proud of the young
stcr as young fathers usually are, and all
his friends have helped to establish the
Importance of the happy arrival in his
mind.
They have written him all sorts of con-
gratulati0ns, some of them in very bad
rhymes, and when they meet him they
invariably try to convince him that he
has done we'll by his country
One of these friends had forgotten to
send his congratulations, and his remiss-
ness suddenly occurred to him. lie was
in the county commissioners office at the
time and ut once sat down and wrote IL
little note to the happy father, in which.
after the usual formal expressions, he
said that the tenants of the courthouse
all of them his friends and well wishcrs
had met and resolved that it would be
well for him to observe the customary
legal formaity made and provided for
just such occasions and bring or send to
the building Il full box of fairly good
cigars.
The. writer of this precious note did not
sign his name to it, but used the brilliant
nom de plume will L. Scndit.'
The happy father received the note and
was Il little puzzled by its contents. He
didn't recognize Mr.. "Sendit" as one of
the officials with whom he was in the
habit of mixing when in the courthouse
on business. but he knew there had been
several changes recently in the clerical
force.
OF course he wanted to do the proper
thing, especially when it was the custom
nry thing, and so he bought n nice box of
cigars and carried them in person to
County Clerk Coates.
with my best compliments to the
boys" he blushingly remarked.
Clerk Coates may have looked n little
astonished, hut he hastily concealed the
expression and asked no questions. lie
thanked the donor and turned the pre-
Cious box over to n subordinate with or
ders to distribute its contents through
every rOom-as far as the supply would
go.
And this explains how a large number
of courthouse employees were ahead Il
good cigar apiece on that memorable day.
1t is claimed that the arch conspirator
who planned the affair secured one of the
cigars by throwing himself on the mercy
of the court and insisting that he was the
sole instigator of the lucky haul. But he
has no proof of this-not even the cigar.

SPOTS AND STAINS,
Eow They May BE Removed without
IniurInG the Fnbrics.

Stains upon silk or stuff or fancy
frock beyond laundry possibilities may
be got rid of thus: Fold caeesecloth
square thickly and lay it smooth upon
the board. Over that stretch the STAIN
cd stuff smoothly, right side down. II
there IS Il lining, rip it so as to get at
the underside. But first brush. not
only the stain, but the whole garment
thoroughly, SO as to remove all the in
visible dust and prevent the cleansing
from leaving an ugly circle, worse than
tie spot itself. Pour little alcohol
through the spot and dab the place
hard with soft, clean rag. Shift the
spot over n fresh place on kle cheese
cloth and pour on more alt&lol, using
just enough to drcnch the spot itself
without spreading. Do this two or
three times, then look on the right
side.
Greasy and rcsinOus spots, as those
Of machine oil, wagon grccsc, tar pine
and cedar resins, ought to be also
cleaned right side down on the folded
cloth. Wet them first with the alcohol
next very plcntifully with turpentine
and last of all with bcnzine Between
each wettng shift the spots over a
clean space. Pour everything in very
small but steady stream so it shall go
right through the spot, but not much
outside it. After wetting rub hard
a minute with a soft rag. When the
cloth underneath shows white, turn
the spot over and wipe the right side
quickly with n clean rag wet in alco-
hol Dry quickly in the sun if posi-
bic. Let the garment air for six hours,
then cover the spots, upon the wrong
side, with a damp, not wet cloth and
press with a very hot iron. If the
spots want Stiffening. dip toothbrush
lightly in gum arabic. hold it six
inches above the wrong side of the
cloth and pass the finger across it, 50
as to spatter the gum in fine spray
where it will do the most good; then
let the garment lie few minutes be-
fore ironing.

Never write poetry until you are at
least 80, unless you fall in love, when
1t will come to you like the measles.
You would better begin with stories
that is. if you lave a leading idea and
can invent situations. DO not attempt
the novel until you have passed your
forticth year. \ novel requires a
knowledge of men and manners, a
study of human character and powers
to create dialogue and invent surprises.
| know that there have been Instances
when very young men have written
clever poems and novels. but these
were freaks of genius which do not
often occur Avoid attempts at hui.

worked for more than it is worth, and

THE LOVE SIGN OF The ROSE.

She trained a little rose to grow
And grace the gate above,
And hence | love the pathway sc
That leads me 10 her love,
And oft my heart before me goes
To read the love sign OF the Rose.
Through faircr bloom for lovers tryst
To me it seems as fair
AS if an angels lips had kissed
And blessed it blooming there,
For heaven its sweetest smile bcstows
On the dear love sign Of the Rose.
The pattering Of little feet
When shadows blur the light,
And rosy twiniug arms that meet
And necklace me at night,
These my glad heart cnraptured knows
At the dear love sign OF the Rose.
Not far away Loves steps shall stray
In thoruy paths to roam,
While DER the meadows of life's May
Shine signals sweet OF home.
When night falls drcar, one heart still knows
Rest at the love sign OF the Rose.
