Would Not Leave 1t to Go For Money
That Belonged to Him.

II won't go out! l won't leave here
for anything"
Such was the amazing declaration Of
pauper attendant in an east end Lon
don workhouse on being told by an
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the mantle son Of a
post captain in the nayy-meant all
that he said. Not an inch would he
bulge, nor would he sign any paper,
and it was only by taking a commits
sioner down to him that the fund
could be recovered.
Whether because it was only a COM
paratively small sum or whether be-
cause he was a worker, the guardians
made no claim on it. Accordingly, at
his request, it was split, and two ac-
counts We're opened on his behalf in
the Postoffice Savings bank. But, for
all that, he continued to remain in the
workhouse.
Meanwhile he was very anxious that
his wife should not know he was alive
lin fact, he denied that he was mar
ried. His life partner, however, called
at the agents office to inquire about
the case, though she begged that her
husband might not be told Of her
whereabouts. She was in a fairly
good position, earning as she did. liv-
ing by kee2ing ladies' school, and
once or twice her reprobate husband
had turned up in an intoxicated condi-
ton and raised commotion that had

Never would the pauper legatee leave
the workhouse. He remained there till
his death, whereupon, having left no
will, the money he had scorned to use
passed to his wife.-Casselps Saturday

A light chain securely fastened on

new curtains and rapidly devoured
some half yard or SO of a hand painted
border, which was the pride Of my
heart. Then came an interval of calm
and exemplary behavior which lulled
me into false security. Cookie seemed
to have but one object in life, which
was to pull out all his own feathers,
and by evening the dining room often
looked as though white fowl had
been plucked in it.
consulted bird doctor, but as
Cookies health was perfectly good and
his diet all that could be recommended,
it was supposed he only plucked himself
for want of occupation, and frewood
was recommended as q substitute
This answered very we'll, and he spent
his leisure in gnawing sticks of deal
only when no one CHANGED to be in the
room he used to unfasten the swivel
of his chain, leave it dangling on the
stand and descend in search Of his
playthings. When the fire had not
been lighted, often found half the
Goals pulled out of the CRATE and the
flrewood in splinters. At last, with
warmer weather, both Goals and wood
were removed, so the next time Master
Cookie found himself short of a lob ne
set to work on the dining room chairs,
first pulled out all their bright nails
and next tore holes in the leather,
through which he triumpbantly
dragged the stufing.
At one time he went on visit for
some weeks and ate up everything
within his reach in that friendly estab-
lishment. His bag" for one afternoon
consisted of a venerable fern and q
large palm, some library books, news
papers, a pack of cards and an arm
chair. And yet every one adores him,
and he is the spoiled child of more than
one family.-Cornhill.

The Word "salary."-

The way languages are built up is
very interesting, and the derivation of
the word SALARY" is curious as well.
In ancient times Roman soldiers re-
ceiyed daily portion Of salt as part
of their pay. SAP is the Latin for
salt, and when the salt was in course
of time committed for money the
amount was called salarium, or salt
money; hence our word SALARY" and
hence, doubtless, the expression mot
worth his salt"-that is, not worth his
salt money!. or salary. =.

A POPULAR SCHEME.
The New Plan of Free socials, without
supper.Proves Successful.

The large number of people that
f1ocked into Park Ave. church par1ors
Thursday evening at 7:30 for the 3
social, instead of al the ordinary hour,
iustifes the ladies in their change
from the work, worry and waste of
money of the ''supper' social.
The program and entertainment pro-
ceeded admirably on the number of 3.
The three verses on Bible characters
by II different people was particularly
entertaining. The buddy boys de-
1ightfu1 trios were heartily encored,
and the three reports by the church's
travellers, Mrs. Ripley, Miss Fellows
and Mr.. Naylor, suggested a wide
scope of intensely interesting sight,
and experiences.
The thorough sociability of this first
test of the new scheme goes far to
speak for the future. Light refresh
ments were served as a feature of So
liability and voluntary offering was
received from those who wished to
give anything. That the new regime
is in great popularity is evident from
the many praises of last evenings at
tendantS.
