TOO FINE FOR USE.
Story with a Moral Told by Grandma
 Cook

When Grandma Cook came home from the picnic she asked with inter- est about the different villagers whom she had seen for the first time, relates writer in Youths Companion,
 "Who was the handsome young woman who poured the tea?" she asked. "A thin, pale, melancholy girl, very quiet. 1 did not see her smile oDceo
 "0h, that, said her niece, s.is An- nie Gordon. "She's always that way
 Has she lost friends? She was not in mourning
 No. Her people are all living, but they are rather commonplace, while Annie is a girl of ideas and originality almost a genius. She wrote very good poetry at school. But the Cor dons are poor. They could not send her to college. She wanted so much to go abroad--to see Greece and Rome; but that, of course, was impos- sible. She is saleswoman in Bryce & Potts store. But she Is always melancholy, as you see her now. She lives apart, makes no friends, hardly knows the name of her next-door neighbor Always turning over in her mind her dreams, suppose"
 Mrs. Cook knitted in silence awhile. 'SIt puts me in mind of Prudence Max wells shawl she said. Did l never tell you of that? We'll, Prudence's uncle bought her a real cashmere shawl when she was young girl. It was like picture with its fine texture and dull, wonderful colors.
 Hang it up,' We all said, 'on the wall. Let people enjoy it. Nobody Ill the village ever saw such thing. It will be pleasure to us all.' No, indeed Prudence said, 'it would fade. can't spoil it that way
 ''So it was folded in tissue paper, put in box and hid away.
 Prudence married, but the shawl was not just the thipg to wear, even on her wedding morning. Her daughter grew up. We begged Prudence to give it to her as bridal gift No,' she said, I will leave it to her when l die. ,
 Well, { she did die at last. The box was opened and the shawl lifted out. It fell into rags. The moths had done their work, and all the beauty was wasted.
 Now, neither Annie Gordon nor any other girl has thought too high or fancy too fine for everyday use. If she would put their beauty or purity into her talk with her old father and mother or into her actions in the store, they would make her life beautiful and a blessing to the world"

WANTED THE FULL COURSE.
The Foreigner Was Bouni to Follow the
 American to the End.

Ii was in the dining-room of one of the leading hotels in Milwaukee. At one of the tables sat an American, who, to judge from his appearance, was well to do, while opposite him sat man who, as his accent indicated, was of foreign birth. He was not quite so well dressed as the other, but. If actions and general demeanor are any criterion, he had recently come into possession of considerable wealth, which he was trying to spend as be- fits man of means.
 The American was ordering a course dinner, which he began with oysters. Apparently the foreigner, feeling that he could afford it, had made mp his mind not to miss any thing good to eat, so long as money could buy it,
 Give me some oysters, too" "s.aid he.
 Next the American called for soup.
 "Pll take some of that, also," said his vis-a-vis, when the latter had brought the soup.
 Fish, porterhouse steak with mush- rooms, chicken and many other things calculated to tickle the palate of an epicure were brought on and consumed, Mr. Newly Rich keeping close watch on the Americans dishes and asking for the various ar ticles as fast as he saw them placed before the other.
 The American, thoroughly annoyed by the apishness of the would-be swell, now decided to make an effert to end the matter then and there.
 "Waiter,' said he, beckoning to that funetionary, "send me q boot black"
 Bring me one, too,' said the for eigner; ''I don't know what it is. but bring me one, anywayi"-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Sleep and Longevity.

A new theory of longevity has made ;t---r-r -s-s.aoo. A. -~~--. 1-c-:t- number of waking hours allotted to him" says the originator of the idea, "and the fewer he uses up the longer will his life last. "lf therefore, he is content to sleep for the most of his days there is no reason why he should not live 200 years. He adduees the case of the negroes as an illustration. The chances are that the only truth in this theory is the well-recognized fact that eight-hours' sleep is not sufficient for most mortals, and that those who habitually take less shorten their lives by so doing.

here of every one with whom he has
 become acquainted, and has the ear
 nest wishes of all that he may re-
 cover.
 Joe Mayer has been doing some
 practical philanthropy on lines simi-
 lar to those operated by those other
 two millionaires, Andrew Carnegie
 and John Rockefeller. The only
 difference between them is that MT.
 Mayer has gone about it with less
 ostentation and without any flourish
 of trumpets or sounding of cymbals
 and if the general public had waited
 for him to tell them about it they
 would never have known of it. He
 believes in the Biblical way of not
 letting your right hand know what your left hand doeth, in such things. The particular philanthropic act which he has done and which, of course, he could not keep a secret, was the building of a fine school house at Mayer. at his own expense. There is many charitable and phil anthropic act done by Mir. Mayer of which the public never learns.

 Prescott Lodge No. 122 of the Fra ternal Brotherhood, had the honor and pleasure of entertaining its Su- preme Vice President Mrs. Emma Neidic on last Friday night at K. of r. hall. Six new members were added to its membership roll, which now numbers ninety-one, the largest lodge of the order in the territory. After the initiatory work and short talk by the supreme officer, supper was announced and full justice done a magnificent feast. Dancing was then the order of the evening until the wee sma" hours. This order is the onl J one in existence which ad- mits ladies on equal terms with the men, and from the rapid and steady growth of the order it is without a doubt destined soon to become the largest and best traternal insurance organization in existence.

DICTATES OF DAME FASHION

A very quaint fashion is the revival of the paletot, it being most popular in black taffeta- It makes a pretty, light and inexpensive summer wrap, much beruched and trimmed.
 There is such lot in color, and few women know how to make the most of it. Black is either very becoming or quite the reverse. though on the whole 1t is smart, especially for even ing wear.
 Women have recently been wearing China silk skirts with their light cling ing gowns, and some of these go in with the lingerie. Nainsook, however, is the material of all others for the finest of petticoats.
 Some of the newest French sleeve models show the most approved forms of the elbow styles arranged in every sort of quaint and fanciful form, and also the pretty coat shapes with pie turesque finish at the top and about the wrists, the wrinkled nous quetaire forms, and the graceful bell styles with dainty undersleeves of gathered null. batiste, net or chiffon.

 Tyrannus Tupper saw a wire upon the ground it lay-and thought that he would pull it from a passing teamster's way! He took it in his naked hand and wildly hollered, "Ye- ow-w-ww The wire was full of un- seen life. He's wearing pinions now!
 Missoury Billy stole horse from out a ranchman's herd, and mounting it fled from the spot as fleet as a winged bird! The cowboys followed on his trail and showed Missoury how they got such fellows on a string. He's not on horseback now!
 Miss Birdie Brady, lately from the little isle so green, concluded she would coax the fire to burn with gas oline! For her poor knowledge of the stuff you really should allow She never has to start the fire where she's resting now.
 Unfortunate Jack Donahoo, a sim pie mine recruit decided he would pick shot that had declined to shoot! The shot had changed its fickle mind; his friends now sadly bow submissive to the law of fatel His pick is idle nowl

Edward Bok's lenten Message.

Here is the Lenten season upon us a season given to us for quiet thought and withdrawal from the things of the world. Could there be a more appropriate season for just little re- fection? We ought, in reality, to take an honest accounting of our selves once year at least, and twice year would be none too often for most of us. There is a tremendous amount of good to be had by getting of into the quiet byways of life every once in a while and leaving the busy thoroughfares entirely behind. There is nothing so good as an occasional readjustment of ourselves.-Edward Box, in the March Ladies' Home Journal.
