Father of Steel Maonate.

John Schwab, the father of Charles
M. Schwab, is the nabob of Loretto, a
little Pennsylvania village on the crest
of the Allegheny mountains. He is
the richest resident, it's only retired
merchant. Several years before his
son had managed to creep very far
up the ladder in Braddock, Sehwab,
by means of livery business and a
farm, got together a comfortable SUM
for use in his declining years. He Isl
now 65 years old, but his six feet of
spare body remains as straight as an
arrow. and not a gray hair shows I'M
his black hair and beard. The mother
is the opposite of her husband She
is typically German. Her figure is.
short and stout, her face round and
full, and her complexion and hair fair
She is exceedingly affable. The viii
layers say that Charlie takes after
his mother in everything except his
nose" which is prominent, like his
fathers"

Temperance Experiment.

In the little town of Thorley, Eng
land, the duke of Bedford has estab-i
lished a model public house. 1t is a
large, airy, attractive building, regu-.
lar workingman's' club. Beer is not
prohibited, but only a very good
quality is sold. Instead Of being
leased 1t is put in the hands of a

quite as garrulOus when sober as men
are when in their cups, and their con-
versation is often just as well worth
hearing.
AS rule they have more heart than
head. This is apt to render them
thoughtless. A woman will walk to
the end of the street, then turn sharp
ly round without looking to see
whether there is any one Immediately
behind her, and, as a consequence,
gouge your eyes out with the end of
her sunshade. Sometimes she will beg

They used to be called the gentle
sex. But one day a man saw some of
them entering dry goods store as the
door opened on the first day Of a
clearance sale.
1t has been remarked that they look
nice at prayer, so they keep the
churches going. 1T the same time,
their versatility is really wonderful.
They can be splendidly dishonest.
and unconsciously so, and lady com
pany directors are only matter Of
time.
They think a man a fine fellow
when they are engaged to him. But
the sad thing about engagements is
that they often lead to marriage. Still,
in spite of all, women are quite one of
the incest sexes, and if only they will
keep silly instead of trying to be men

ture for them. Their patience is GER

Babies.

Babies are one of the incidents of
marriage. There are fewer marriages
every year.
They have great larks sometimes
with young couples by ignoring the
notice Boy Wanted" and coming as
girls.
Another joke they are fond of is
hunting in couples.
They are not much to look at, and
man has been known to knock an
other man down for telling him he was
once one of them.
They cry lot at first because they
want to ask who they are, and can't.
Fathers would generally throw them
away, but the mothers will not have
it. A mothers love is the most won
derful thing in the world.
An ugly feature of babies is that
they are apt to grow up into small
boys.
