Story OF a contented Girl.

This story is told of an eastern king:
He wanted wife, but he wanted one
with a contented disposition. He had
been told that u complaining woman
was anything but joy in the house
hold, and he sought to avoid marrying
any such. He set out on a journey
through his kingdom and Travelled far
before he found the object of his
search. Finally he met a humble peas
ants daughter who was said to be a
woman entirely contented with her
surroundings.
The king assured himself that she
had no complaint whatever to make
concerning her lot in life and at once
proposed to make her his bride, when
she replied, 81 am sorry to have to re-
fuse the king my hand. but since am
contented with my present lot in life
will not consent to change it." And the
king was compelled to find some one
a tri1e less content.

NO REST IN AMERICA.
Machinery in This Country Is Not
Permitted to Last Until
Out of Date.

An experienced railroad man has
the following to say regarding Eng
lish railway methods, reports the New
York Post:
"It is singular, to say the least,
that the English railway managers
have just discovered that American
locomotives consume more coal, use
more oil and require more repairs
than those of their home make. If
this is fact, it could have been dem
onstrated in a trial lasting a month.
Over here we wouldn't accept an Eng
lish locomotive as a gift. 1t would be
regarded as an antiquated monstrosi-
ty. | fear the British are beginning
to feel a trifie sore over America S COM
mercial invasion of all the markets of
the world, and the Midland railway
people are trying to knock us on our
locomotives"
Continuing, the official said: "The
chairman of the Midland made one i'm
pressive statement, namely: we tend
our engines carefully, rest them, clean
them and do everything to make them
last In this country we rest moth
ing, not even ourselves. Bishop Cum
berland's familiar saying: 1T is bet
ter to wear out than to rust out has
taken hold of us, body, soul and
breeches. The Englishman rests his
hats, shoes, trousers, coats, horses,
carriages and whatever else he may
own, animate or inanimate. few
advanced Americans have recently
adopted the practice of freeing their
shoes for a rest, and the result is
longer wear, without losing shape.
Some of our locomotives are never
allowed TO cool from one years end to
another. Little wonder they do not
live to be classed among the antiques"

Best way to "Break" a Boy.

l had overheard q conversation be-
tween Karl and his mother. She had
work for him to do which interfered
with some of his plans of enjoyment,
and, though Karl obeyed her, it was
not without a great deal of grumbling.
He had much to say about never being
allowed to do as he pleased; that it
would be time enough for him to settle
down to work when he was older.
While the sense of injury was strong
upon him came out on the piazza be-
side him and said:
"Karl, why do you try to break that
colt of yoursY
The boy looked up in surprise. "Why,
1 want him to be good for something"
"But he likes his own way" l OBJ
jected. "Why shouldn't he have it?'
BY this time Karl was staring at me
in perplexity. "I'd like to know the
good of a horse that always has his
own wayw he said, as if rather indig-
nant at my lack of sense.
"And, as for working" l went on, 81
should think there was time enough
for that when he gets to be an old
horse"

Then he stopped, blushed and looked at
me rather appealingly. I heard no
more complaints from him that day.

How They Do In China.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman never puts his
name outside of his shop, but paints
instead motto, or list of his goods,
on his vertical signboard. Some re-
assuring remark is frequently added,
such as ''One word hall" ""A child two
feet high would not be cheated"
Every single article has to be bar
gained for, and it is usual for the GUS
toner to take his own measure and
scales with him. A strong man has
difficulty carrying on his back two
pounds worth of the copper cash,
which is the common currency, so it
is necessary to take servant to carry
ones purse. The sycee of silver is the
only other form of money besides the
copper tael. AS it weighs about 67
ounces, a hammer and cold chisel are
indispensable for making change.
When you engage servant or make
bargain. it is not considered binding
until ''the fastening penny" has been
paid. Although his bad faith is notori-
ous in some matters, yet, to do him
Justice, when once this coin has been
paid by you the Chinaman, coolie, or
shopman, will generally stick to his
bargain, even if the result to him be

The Fan Saves Talking In Japan.

There are many curious uses for fans
in Japan. The umpire at wrestling and
fencing matches uses heavy one.
shaped like huge butterfly, the handle
being the body and rendered imposing
by heavy cords of silk. The various
motions of the fan constitute a Ian
guage which the wrestlers fully under
stand and appreciate. Formerly in
time of war the Japanese commander
used large fan, having a frame of
iron covered with thick paper. In case
of danger it could be shut, and blow
from its iron bones was no light affair.
One notable variety of fan is made of
waterproof paper, which can be dipped
in water and creates great GOODNESS by
evaporation without wetting the
clothes.
The fiat fan made of rough paper is
often used as grain winnow, to blow
the charcoal fires and as a dustpan.
The japanese gentleman of the old
school who never wears hat uses his
fan to shield his eyes from the sun.
His head, bare from childhood, hardly
needs shade, and when it does he
spreads an umbrella, and with his fan
he directs his servants and saves talk

"Where is she now?"
81 prevailed upon her to go home
and wait till had seen you," said the
lawyer, chuckling wickedly.
Smollett put on his hat and did not
appear in the office again that day,
much to the disturbance of certain
stocks in which he was known to deal
heavily. But in the afternoon he was
seen driving with his wife in the park,
and later they occupied a box at the
theater.
Paget dropped in on him a day or
two later.
"Has the divorce been settled out of
court?' he asked.
Now, l suppose you think you're
smart, don't you?" returned Smollett.
"Well, I'm always glad when l can
bring families together instead of sep
arating them if there isn't any money
in it for me-" said Charlie sanctimo-
niously.
"Huh.' grunted Smollett.
"And in this case the evidence was

Smollett. THAT lock of hair was"-

a good bit darker than it was when she
was a child of 6. Her father gave me
that lock, and I've carried it-well, a
good many years. Now are you salts

"Ye-es," said the lawyer slowly. "But

More Irony of Fate.

He bore the colors at Bull Run
And came unscathed from there;
At Malvern Hill and Seven Pines
His cheering rent the air;
AT Gettysburg he fought the men
Who rallied under Lee
He fought at Fredericksburg and marched
With Sherman to the sea.
His heart gave back brave response
To stricken Cubas cry;
He helped to storm the hills and heard
The Spaniard's bullets fly;
He saw the proud Castilian sheath
His cruel sword, and when
The beaten tyrant sailed away.
Came marching home again.
He fought on many a bloody field
Where men by scores were slain,
And twice was caught in wrecks and thrice
He crossed the stormy main
And died upon the glorious Fourth
Because he longed to know
Just why the cannon cracker he
Had touched off didn't go.
