in friends way. If the salary isn't
up to your expectations
ooh, the salary is all right" smiled
the collector, ''but you are a day or two
too late. l closed with an offer yester-
day"
"You don't say? But you can throw
1t over however-you will throw it
over?"
Il couldn't do it. I am engaged as
the manager of the Old Blk Collection
agency, and | must stick to it for a
year. It's to collect debts from men
like you, You know. In addition to the
salary, there S good deal of fun to he
got out of it. About that 81, major"
"How would it be if we threw you in
$4,000 worth of stock as present?
Your dividends won't be less than 40
per cent. Man, don't miss a good thing
when you have it right under your
thumb"
81 don't propose to. I shall get 20
per cent for collecting this bill of YOU"
'HaY exclaimed the major as he got
up and walked about. ri see how it is
with you. I have not offered you sal
airy enough. l don't know what the
board Of directors will think about it.;
but, knowing you as well as l do, l
shall assume the responsibility of max
ing it $4,000 for the first year, and
believe you will be cheap at that.
While we have coopered the horserad-
ish crops and got the bulge over red
peppers, the corner must be rightly
handled to make a success. l won't
even ask you to lend me the So neces-
sary to complete the articles Of incOr-
poration. My friend, accept my hand
and my congratulations I'll take you
right over to the bank and introduce
you"
''Not just yet" replied the man as he
rose up and pulled off his coat and re-
moved his cuffs.
care you too warm?" solicitously in
quired the major, though a look Of anx
iety rested on his face at the same
time
"Not at all. / am simply getting
ready to lick that 81 out Of you. II
you don't shell out within five minutes,
shall turn loose on you"
my dear man, ] fail to understand
you. You call here to collect a trifing
account. 1 acknowledge the correct
ness of it; but, unfortunately having
left my checbbook at the house,
"Will you pay?"
81 will of course hasten to my domi-
cile and set the book and draw you a
check, but really l must protest
against
''You won't hasten anywhere. She'll
out or take licking"
"My dear sir, r.
''Shell out
The major shelled. 1t took him five
long minutes to go through his pockets
and find 81, and he was left with only
9 cents to face the cold world. The col
lector signed the bill, put on his coat
and cuffs and walked out, with only q
wink and a nod. When he had depart
ed, the major sat down and reviewed
the case from beginning to end and
counted and recounted the cents, and
it was with a deep drawn grOan that
he leaned back at last and whispered
to himself.
"That's the first bill I've had to pay
in two years, and l don't understand
how l came to pay that. l must be
losing nv cheek" NJ. QUAD.

Her View of 1t.

The mother was scolding the child
because she was backward in her les
sons.
"You should study" said the mother
"You should work hard and I'll have
to punish you if you don't"
That evening there was company at
dinner, and the effect of education was
under. discussion.
''There can be no doubt" asserted
one of the guests, ''that the higher and
more thorough education of woman is
having a serious effect upon Maria ge.
There is a far larger proportion OF
women in state of single blessedness
than ever before"
The little one heard and turned on
her mother with tears in her eyes.
''You don't love me-" she walled.
"Why, Mabelv' protested the moth
err.
"You don't, you don't, you don't"
insisted the girl. IF you did you
wouldn't try so hard to make an old
maid of me with those horrid lessons"

Pretty Navy Habit.

In the wardrooms of the vessels of
the American navy there is still kept
up a custom worthy of imitation. 1t
is as follows: At 8 o'clock in the even
ing the captain or commander will Or
der glasses to be filled, and rising,
will deliver this sentiment: Gentle
men, ask you to drink to sweethearts
and wives. May the sweetheart become
the wife and the wife always remain
the sweetheart" The officers drink
this toast in silence.--Chicago Journal.

R - AJOR CROFOOT, grand pro-
1--WE moter and general origina-
~ III tor, had reached his office
and hunted up a cigar stub
eft over from the day before and just
settled down to enjoy it when his door
was banged open and stranger enter
ed. The stranger was man Of liberal
BUILD and aggressive look, and he sat
down OH a chair without invitation,
took a paper from his pocket and
bluntly remarked:
Here's a bill of 81 against you for
laundry work, and I want the cash
p. d. a."
The major was taken by surprise,
and for a minute the room whirled
round with him, but only for a minute.
Then he rallied, worked up a beautiful
smile and arose, with outstretched
hand, to eXclaim:
"What coincidence! What coinci-
dence! Upon my word, but it is one of
three or four trifes that had slipped
my mind, and am glad you came in.
Have cigarW
II WILL" replied the collector.
The major felt in his pockets and
looked around on the floor at his feet,
but found no cigar to offer. This fact
didn't put him out, however, and he
rubbed his hands and smilingly con-
tinued
Eyes; I'm glad you called, because l
want to send word to the estimable
woman who runs the laundry that l
had carelessly forgotten the little ac-
count and am sorry if she has been put
to any worry. I wonder where my
checkbook is"
''You haven't got anyw replied the
collector in tones so blunt that anoth-
er mans feelings might have been
hurt.
81 may possibly have left it home. If
so, shall have to ask you to wait IN

1T lies there alone; it is rusty and faded.
WIN scar on the elbow, and a hol. in
the side;
But we thought of the brave one who
wore it, and ever
Look on it with pleasure And touch it.
with pride.
1t has bistory-shall l repeat it over
and over?
And tell of the one who hurried on to
the frayp
With his frame like an oak and An eve
of an eagle,
How gallant he rode with the rank of
the Gray.
Though it be worn and moth-eaten in
places
love it the more for the memory it
bears
OF the story of courage-of The struggles
with sorrows-
VI the one who bore bravely his burden
of cares.
It's moth-eaten and dusty but once it
was shining
In the gaHdy colors it bore as it dashed
to the fray,
And the wearers face was as bright as
the smile of the morning
When he rode in his place in the ranks
of the Gray.
A rip in the sleeve, with the collar all
tarnished,
And the Palmetto buttons that once
,glittered as gold,
Is all that is left 10 softly remind us
VI the strong one who wore it both gal
liant and bold.
AS relic of love. solemn, sweet aud
unspoken,
We cherish the garment of the long van
ished day
And keep the old coat for the sake of
the loved one
Who rode in front of the boys in the
Gray.
It's memory is sweetest with sorrow
when mingled;
To us it is precious more precious than
gold;
In the rent and the shot-hole volume
is written,
The stains on the lining have agony
told.
1t was long years ago on a lovely May
morning
he fOue WIN his comrades right into
the fray;
And this coat that he wore and the
sword that he welded
We're always conspicuous in the ranks
Of the Gray.
It's colors are faded, yet we will revere
it
For the rip in the elbow and hole in the
side,
Sure Drawer heart never beat than the
one who has worn it
With manly devotion and soldiery pride
Let us brush off the dust, tie moth and
the tarpish
And fold it up nicely and lay it away,
1t still will remind us of the brave one
who wore it
While lighting the Blue with the ranks
of the Gray.
