HER FACE HER FORTUNE.
Why One Girl Got a Good Paying
and Easy Position.


She was sweet looking girl, with as
fair a pink and white complexion as
woman ever desired, and was chatting
with one Of her own sex on a Staten
Island ferryboat, while l was seated
so near that 1 could not help hearing.
Several times my truant eyes deserted
my paper and stole glance at the
face that was so attractive.
ut was the luckiest thing that ever
happened to me-" she said to her COM
panion, when l went into that Fifth
avenue store just to buy comb. How
little thought that l would be work
ing there at greater wages than had
ever hoped to earn l hesitated about
going in, because l feared the prices
would be too high, but I did go in and
came out with a comb without paying
cent for it. And, better than all,
had been engaged to begin the next
Monday as saleswoman.
81 was nearly discouraged before
that for was getting only $4 week,
and we were awfully pinched at home,
but my luck changed on that day, and
| it was Friday too. Fortunately for me,
the store was crowded when went in,
and the proprietor left his desk that
stands in a little rallied off corner and
came to wait on me. l noticed that he
looked very sharply at me, but not at
all in an impudent manner.
Pardon me, MISS he said, but
am looking for young lady to assist
me in the store here and if your cir
cumstances are such that you would
care for the place l would like to have
you consider it,
II was wonderfully surprised, but
thanked him, saying that 1 knew moth
ing about the business.
"That doesn't NATTER he replied.
You can soon learn it. To be frank, /
would like to have you on account of
your complexion. You know we sell
all sorts Of goods for the complexion
and articles sof identifying, and your
face would do more to make sales than
all of the arguments and representa-
tons that could be made
well, the result was that I got a
fine place. with easy work, at $15 q
week. My hours are short, and sim.
ply play the agreeable while selling
goods at an immense profit. wouldn't
let any of the connections touch my
face for anything, but the customers
appear to be impressed by my com
plexion, and the proprietor is satisfied

POULTRY POINTERS,

A close, unventilated house is EN-
phatically -four house.
Ground or crushed bone is a good
form in which to give lime.
The nests should be arranged so that
the fowls can walk in on them.
Bran is better feed for fowls than
corn because it contains more nitrogen.
An excellent feed for young chicks is
cracked or coarsely ground wheat for
the first week.
A cock that fights and picks his
mates every time they are fed is not
a good breeder, and few of his hens
eggs will ever hatch.
Cane or sorghum seed can be fed to
fowls to good advantage. 1t stimu-
lates egg production and in many ways
is good to use for variety.
For good breeder select a rooster
with plump, full breast, broad across
the back, wide between the legs and
that crows often, loud and long.
1t is good plan to mate up the
fowls early, for occasionally one of the
hens will want to sit during the win
ter, and it will be best to have the eggs
ready.

Pig For MARRIAGE Fee.

"A Lutheran minister in a western

minister shook hands, but remarked
that he could not recall his name. oh.

In this favored land of the free every
lovelorn swain has his own way Of
making love and popping the question,
but in some foreign countries the peas.
antry has peculiar and Evolutionary
ways Of performing those pleasing
functions. Among Hungarian gypsies
cakes are used as love letters. Inside
the cake is coin, which is baked in
it. The cake is flung to the favored
ton Of the cake signifies acceptance,
but If 1t is flung back with force it sig
nifies rejection.
The japanese lover wishing to make
known the state of his feelings throws
bunch Of pale plum flower buds into
his loved ones litter as she enters 1t to
go to friends wedding. If she losses
the blossoms lightly out, the sutton
knows that he is rejected, but If she
fastens them to her girdle it is ooh,

In some parts of Spain the young
peasant looks unutterable things, but
never tries to speak until he has been
accepted. The girl neither looks nor
speaks, but she sees. Late in the cool
Of the evening the youth knocks at
her fathers door and asks for a gourd

Then comes the crisis. If he is invited

seat in the garden, he is an accepted
sutton, but If this civility is not ex-
tended to him he goes away knowing
that he is rejected. If he is accepted.
there is a general celebration by the

When the Eskimo goes a-wooing, he
walks to the house of his loved ones

how much the girl may reciprocate her
suitor's affections, she always makes a

away from him, this for the sake OF
preserving the conventionalities Of Es

HE FILLED THE BUCKET,
4 story of Grant When He Was n
"Pleb.v mt west Point

There is story told of General Grant
when a pleb. He had just entered on
his first day in "pleb." camp. A first
classman who had noticed the boys
strong build intimated to him it would
be a pleasure to have him call imme-
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There Is a rule at West Point,
which was rule then as well, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
mental labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything of the kind,
but here is the way he went at it:
,T presume, Mr.. Grant, that you have
lived on farm, and, this being the
case you have had undoubtedly good
opportunity to note the effect of the
suns rays on certain objects. Now, If
you had left q water bucket that was
innocent of holding a single drop of the
fluid out in the sun from its rising to
its setting, what do you think sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucket"
II think" said Grant, that it would
get warped and leaky."
Every good, Mr. Grant You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, if
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that 1t is as dry as a chip.
Now, by the further exercise of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant, can you tell me
by what means / may prevent the
warping and leaking Of my bucket?"
'Have 1t filed" said Grant.
Every good again, Mr.. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not
fill It, That necessarily means that
some one must fill it for me. You have
shown 30 much acumen that 1 fear
to violate your prescription either in
letter or in spirit, which l should do if
presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tank myself"
Grant filled the bucket.

They CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, now,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; Of 1900 and 1901.
Tho weather was cruel. All the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
A Plea For n Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.

In these days when everybody is
coed would 1t not be well to start a
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly for
rest? That very sentence affords an
How apt, how vivid, how expressive it
would be If all it's epithets had not lost
their vitality through overwork! To
the stated reader the whole sentence is
but the echo Of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even Of
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained Of
Hamlet" that 1t was too full of quota
tons unconsciously expressed a great
fact through the medium Of a bull. In
a wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages in the language to
mere commonplace. Give our familiar
quotations rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the brave. Let
US feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun-
der be arrested for felony. Let us win
no more golden opinions. Let the ia
vored few withdraw to some select Sc
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases, after long rest reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat-
ed, energetic. effective, brilliant, as on
the day when they were first conceived

kissing, and on Wednesday night he
concluded to keep one eye open, while
uttering his prayers. The result was
that the moment he had apparently
closed his eyes he could distinguish. in

couples embracing and kissing. He
stopped in the middle of the prayer
