a forcible manner that II caught the fellow
squarely between the eyes and he fell to
the cement sidewalk, his head striking with
such force that he was rendered uncon-

ran as fast as he could. He realized the
boldness OF his act and was In a hurry To
get out of danger. At n corner he turned
and looked back and saw another negro
running across the street TO help his pal
to his feet. That man has told me since
that II he were ever held up again he would
take no such chances. and he never under

L'ENvoI.


A woman guest at an uptown hotel was
awakened about midnight by the rustling
and snswing of a mouse She was one OF
the few heroic women who can endure the
presence OF a mouse without getting up on
q chair or screaming, says a writer In the
New York Sun. She threw every shoe and
slipper within reach, but as the munching
continued she pulled the bell. The boy that
answered got a tip OF a dime. and he then
said ned have TO send up the head boy on
watch TO investigate.
In ten minutes came up a very imposing
person, who listened blandly to the wom-
ans story. and finally said he'd try to find
a trap. As boy No. 2 was more elegant
thar boy No. 1, she thought a quarter
would be the least she could offer him.
In half an hour boy No. 3 appeared with
q mouse trap, which the woman mad
placed near her trunk, where the papers
had been most boisterous. Less simple
minded thar usual the woman lifted the
trap TO see IL 1T was properly set. Inere
was not a bit OF cheese-not a morsel OF
anything to tempt the appetite of a wary
mouse. She caught boy No: 8, who had
tor boy, and suggested cheese for the hun
cry mouse. He got half a dollar to shake
off his unconcern.
But in the morning the trap was empty.
Then she put the whole affair out OF her
mind: thought the mouse had escaped Into
the hall. or something, and began to dress.
She was sitting down putting on her shoes
when her eye caught a twinkling little dot
peeking at her from a crack where the
trunk had not shut quite tight; and there
was the mouse. and 1t had been in the
trunk all night.
1t glared defiance, and she glared back re-
venge. She pushed the trunk shut with the
tip OF her umbrella and rang the bell. She
told the boy the mouse was in her trunk,
and No. 4 got another h~alf-dollar for killing
IL with a shovel.
When the woman came TO examine the
scene OF the execution she found most Of
her things smeared with ashes from the
shovel. with here and there the colorfng set
on by a scarlet touch or nous b~lood-quite
artistic, but damaging. And a white shirt
waist that cost s. had been chewed up till 1t
was past wearing.
The woman was out s1.S5 in tips, and the
hotel people decided that they were not re-
sponsible for the damage DONE, as the
mouse probably had been brought In In the
trunk Had he not been killed In the

Relatives who Are Not "Cards.w


New York Tribune.
"Cf course. II is not common not to have
. carriage. any moro than 1T is to have a
carriage. but IL is common to talk as If
you had a carriage. or about your carriage,
Il you have one"
This speech was delivered by a young ex-
FOUNDER OF social ethics. n the thought
strikes at the root Of the matter very clev-
sriy. Any pretsnse is vulgar. and any os-
~tention, or. as the children say, putting on
airs" Is even worse. The conditions OF life,
however. have nothing to do with tia rich
woman or e poor woman may be equally
the gentlewoman. In this country especial
ly the young people OF a family often go
with a much smarter set ESQ called than
their parents and relatives, and II, in conse-
they betray exceedingly bad form.
ID you notice how the Robinson girls
never mention any Of their family who are
OF their acquaintance. Jim is a card
women. Their aunt. Mrs. $. is a card
get into society. But their elder married
sister they never mention, nor a brother
who goes with a different lot OF people.
And as for their father and mother, plain,
worthy souls, one would hardly know that
they existed; ! took a great fancy to these
pretty and clever, but the trouble is that
they are not really gentlewomen."
People who are ashamed OF their relatives
or OF the social position OF their parents do
not realize that they themselves betray the
cloven foot; that is. they show that they
are veneer, so to speak, and not good, solid
rosewood or mahogany.
what kin of a nan is Mr.. X-?"
Some one answered. speaking OF a new star
I'm the social horizon: ''Oh, ne Is the sort
that preserves the spade OF his ancestors,
but changes its character and calls IL a
presentation trowel. You know the kind,
He is too egotistical and full OF himself
really TO feel ashamed OF any OF his be-
longings, so he invests them with the
glamour OF his own greatness, and actually
comes TO believe that they are what ne
would wish them to be-"
But, even while laughing at his airs OF
grandeur. we cannot help having a kindly
liking for a mar who not only gave his
old father and mother, when alive, an hon
ored place I'm his grand establishment, but
after their death took their old portraits.
which I'm HIS boyhcod had been painted by
an itinerant artist for his board. Without
disturbing the faces he had them dressed
up by a competent artist I'm the most
fashionable attire OF the day, with Jewels
galore. and then put them in gorgeous
frames and hung them on his walls for
his grandchildren and great-grandchlldren
TO remember as their ancestors.
