Mrs. Fosdick was sure she heard the
crash of breaking china In the kitchen.
but she felt she must be mistaken
when she entered and saw the joyous
face of her cook.
I'm so glad Olive broke it. num-
Bridget said brimming with delight.

HER DOLLS HAD MEASLES.

An amusing story is told of Queen
Wilhelmina when she was quite a lit
tie child. Her majesty was not al.
lowed TO share dinner with the elder
members of lie royal household, but
was permitted to make her appear
ance at dessert and place herself be-
side some particular favorite. One day
she sat by courtly old general, and
after eating some fruit the little girl
turned and gazed up at him. Presently
she exclaimed:
Il wonder you're not afraid to sit
next to me-"
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound of the childish treble.
"On the contrary, am but too
pleased and honored to sit next to my
future queen" replied the old general.
But why should | be afraid?"
Assuming a woebegone expression
the little queen replied Because all
my dolls have the measles-they're all
of them down with it,"

HER INDIGNATION,

Where two or three women are gath
cred together there is sure to be some
conversation about servants.
The following is the substance of
one housekeeper's recent experience. as
detailed in one of these conversations:
An East End hostess had invitations
out for small luncheon, but on the
morning of the eventful day her help
departed, heartlessly and unanimously
There was nothing TO do but to i'm
press into service the wife Of the jan
itor of the fiat and induce her to act
as waitress.
1t was her first experience in this
sort of household duties, and the effect
somewhat indignant at the doings OF
society.
Dye moind what Oh had to do,
Pat?" she was overheard saying to her
hus3anl. Sure, an OF didn't moind
waitin' at all, if they'd let me do it
roight."
Wouldn't they let you do It roight,
Norah?" he asked, with Concerned in
terest.
Sure. an they wouldn't They
wouldn't let me fetch the things to ate
all at once an set 'em on the table.
OF had TO bring 'em in one at time !,
An after Oi brought 'em in they
wouldn't reach for the things, OF had
to pass around to every Teddy at the
table. Och. but the way they wasted
time. They might have got through
Of

But Pat sympathized with her and
agreed that there had been a great
waste of time.-From the Pittsburg

BURGLARS AGAIN.

The wife of a respected citizen of
! Evanston woke up the other night, and
pinching her husbands arm. whis-
pered:
"Willlam! William! Get up quick!
There are burglars downstairs. Lis
teni"
William sat up and listened. There
was racket as Of somebody falling
over chair in the dining-room.
Williams mind, by this time, was
clear as to the presence of burglars,
but he was not sure that it would be
sensible for him to go down among
them. Burglars are unreasonable peo-
pie. and the gentleman knew 1t. He
had heard Of burglars who had killed
men for merely asking awkward ques
tions. and he didn't see how he could
go downstairs then without giving Of
fense.
AS compromise he got his revol-
yer, held it out of a window and fired.
This brought neighbor hurrying up
to find ont what was the matter
"Burglars," said the man with the
gun. Run for the police"
to the nearest telephone, and in less
than an hour several policemen ar
rived, ready to sell their lives as dearly
as possible.
After they had broken into the house
the gentleman upstairs considering
it his duty to remain there and pro-
tect his wife-it was found that about
a dozen square feet Of plaster had fal-
len from the ceiling of one of the lower
rooms.
There is to-day a respected citizen
of Evanston who wishes to have II
distinctly understood that he would
have been willing to go downstairs and
look before firing his revolver if his
wife had not been afraid to remain
alone while he took his life in his
hands.-Chicago Record-Herald.

SHE NEEDED HIM BADLY.

An old manmy, who had known
Governor Taylor of Tennessee from his
childhood came into his Office and be-
gan at once to plead for the pardon
of her husband, who was then in
prison.

she began, 81 wisht you'd pahdon dat

81 can't do it, aunty.' the governor
said. II am being abused every day.

seeing the little light that was left
dying out of the old woman's eyes.
