KIse Heads On Ysung Shoulders

Some children have wise heads set
on their diminutive little shoulders.
Here's an example that is really true.
Three little girls were given fifteen
cents each, by their fond mammas anc
allowed to go to a church lawn party
recently. The next day they were
heard discussing the event in much
the same strain that their older sisters
would do. Said one little curly head,
Il think those ladies' were really stingy
with their cake. They only gave us
one little bit OF piece"
why, we could buy a whole loaf of
cake at the bakery for five cents,
chimed In another little tot. And did
you see that lady give her own little
boy three pieces?" volunteered the
third. But then We had a real nice
time and got nice large dishes Of ice
cream, continued the first speaker in
tgrn.
Yes. and my big sister says we
mustn't 'spect as much for our money
at a church sociable. cause it's ia
help them" added another OF the trio
That last remark settled Il with the
three little Worcester Spy.

Why She Still LimDs

That It's an III wind that blows no
one good, says the Chicago Times
Herald, has been exemplihed in the
case of Emily Wakeman, who plays
Miss Taft in Caleb West" presently
to be seen at McVickers.
In the Summer she visited her par
ents In Oregon, where she slipped and
injured an ankle 80 severely that IL
necessitated the use OF crutches. Re
turning to New York fer rehearsals
and fearing that the sight OF the
crutches might be the cause of her
losing the engagement, she left them
at home aud limped painfully about
the stage.
BY careful treatment she regained
her normal gait and at last was able
to go through a performance without
the limp. But the stage manager, In
stead of congratulating. hastened tc
tell her that If in future she cut out
any business she would be subject TO q
fine or dismissal.
What business have left out?
she asked.
why, the limp, Of course" respond
ed the stage manager
Limp Why, sir, that was an acci-
dent, which I have been fighting hard
to overcome"
Accident" cried the stage mana
ger. Why. that's art. That's the bes
thing IN the act; keep It in."
And Miss Wakeman still limps.

Do Business Women Wake Bad Wives

The business woman is having her
innings at last The wise ones Of the
earth are beginning to say that the
eX-business woman makes the best
wife in the world She does not expect
impossibilities Of punctuality in her
husband, neither does she send him on
errands during business hours. She
knows that business cares are of ne
cessity apt to engross much Of the at
tention Of the successful man, even
when he is absent from the Office.
She does not talk to a man who Is
reading the stock reports in the morn
ing paper, and she brings all her
trained mental faculties to bear on
household problems. In consequence
of the latter fact, shs is able to master
detail in a shorter time than is re-
Quired by the inexperienced young
wife, who previous to her marriage,
has had no more serious problems
than engagements to engross her
mind.
The members OF the opposition are
prone to declare that the woman who
has earned her own money is more
careless in the spending of that earn
ed by her husband. This the friends
of the business woman deny; they
claim that she has learned to know
the value OF money, and is better abla
to administer it than the woman who
has previously had It doled out TO her
in small sums or had her bills paid
for her.-Philadelphia North Ameri-

Reflections Of a Bachelor

After a girls first love affair is over
for about two weeks. her heart Is as
