Very Particular.

Mrs. Morse had neveH used tele-
phone until her husband had one put
into the house so that he might talk
with her from his Office whenever he
wished.
Il do just love to talk through the
telephoner' Mrs. Morse declared after
three days experience. The time
doesn't seem half as long from morn
ing till night as it used to when never
heard from YOU"
I'm glad of that. my dear" said her
husband pleasantly. 1--WE thought once
or twice from the number of times
had to ring up before getting any
answer that you didn't enjoy it,"
"Oh, no, George" said little Mrs.
Morse earnestly, but you know some
times when you ring me up I'm busy
about my Homework with my old
apron on. and of course, knowing how
particular you are. L always like to
unpin my skirt and put on n clean
white apron before l begin to talk to
you, don't you see?"-Youth's Compan-

How Flags Wear out.

1t costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small ones on the east and west fronts
of the capitol, each about three yards
long, which is small for such an Inn
mense structure as the capitol, fray out
so fast that it costs 500 n year to re-
place them. They are darned every
day and on windy days probably two
or three times. Even with all these
economies 500 worth of fine wool
floats or into the air in such fine parti-
cles that never a trace of it can be
found even at the foot of the two flag
staffs.-Pittsburg Dispatch. ~

PICKPOCKET GOT IN CROWD

Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-From broad, blue canopied pavilion surrounded by the members of his cabinet, Governor Nash of Ohio and notables from many States, President Mckinley today re- viewed the floral parade of the Los An geles carnival. The population of Los Angeles, according to the census, is over 100000, but the streets must have held almost twice that number today. Pasa- dena, Santa Monita and other neighboring towns sent in hundreds of visitors. The scene on Broadway, where the reviewing stand was located, resembled Pennsylva- mia avenue in Washington on the day of an inauguration parade. Every facade famed with bunting, flags, pampas grass and red, green and orange plumes The President rode at the head of the parade in an open carriage. At the head of each horse walked a Spanish caballero in green velvet trimmed in gold braid. The carriage was a mass of white and yell low blossoms. A troop of cavalry with vel low horsehair plumes waving above their helmets and wreaths of flowers across their shoulders and blanket rolls of red carnations behind their saddles, headed by a band playing the Star Spangled Banner" preceded the Presidents car riage.
 Women SaIuted.
 As each carriage reached the reviewing stand the ladies there saluted the Presi- dent who was kept on his feet most of the time returning the greetings He ap- parently enjoyed the experience greatly. Iod dU iad ha Of leaves and after saluting the President she threw handful of the soft petals into his box. Before the parade was over he was ankle deep in rose leaves.
 Previous to the floral parade the Presi- dent and his party were driven through the resident section of Los Angeles. This afternoon the ladies of the Presidents party went to Pasadena, while the Presi- dent went to the National Soldiers Home near Santa Monica. Three thousand of the Presidents s old comrades of the Civil war gave the President a remarkable demonstration at the home. He was in- troduced by the Governor at the home and spoke at length.
 Considerable excitement was caused by | the discovery after the speaking that pickpocket had relieved two members of | the party. Secretary Wilson and Col. C. | A. Moore, of their pocket books. The thief was arrested.
 Upon his return to Los Angeles late this afternoon the President received Govern or Nash and the Ohio Congressional dele gation at the hotel There was no public function in the evening.
