The favorite luncheon of the st. Paul
working girl is either rolls or toast and
coffee. At least that is what the ma
jority of the restaurant proprietors in
the city declare and surely they are
judges.
1T issvery seldom, indeed" said one
of these preprietors one day last week
when the noon rush was over, that the
girls who come to the restaurant for

eat anything like d substantial lunch

vorite order for the stenographers and
saleswomen who come here-and our
women patrons are largely recruited
from these two classes-is cup Of

think it would cause people to fight
shy of ordering them. Habit guides a

Ing fair-day friends who desert one
when the skies turn oloady one young
st. Paul man has reason to thank his
stars that he has friends, and that
they are the kind they have proved
themselves. And thereby hangs
tale.
BilIy-that's his name, Billy-is one
of those very uppish young fellows
who won't be run bys nobody, see!"
and for the past two years has been
employed in drug store, well known
to all uptown patrons. He trampled
on the tender feelings Of the proprietor
for so long and became so arbitrary
that the other Saturday evening the
long suffering mortal called him to one
side, just about closing time, and said:
"Pflly, my boy, I'm awfully sorry,
but you and I will have to dissolve
partnership. There is no need of use
less ecriminations-there is just as
little need for explanations; let's call
it off"
Billy was wise-he was CON- In a
n.fnute, and wisely. kept his mouth shut.
And he went out the door that night
the general improbabiIties Of life.
When he got home he sat up all
night thinking up a scheme to get his
JOE back-for he did not mean to give
up without a struggle. At last. Just
as the first glorious streaks of dawn
were struggling through the window he
cried. Eureka! I have found fti''
Not to bed-ne, no; he must go right
down town to put the scheme into
commission.
That forenoon, as the druggist was
soIiIoqufzing upon how much nicer 1t
was to be without Billy, even If he
had to do more work, when

Through all that forenoon that was
the cry at the phone as Billy made the
rounds and coached his friends.
Shortly before noon the druggist was
frantic-thinking of all the custom he
was losing just because he had been
so nfgheaded as to fire Billy. It was
nearly L. and he could stand It no long
er. He would go up to the house and
see Billy and get him back. AS he
brushed his hair, preparatory to go
ing out, he looked at 1t to see If it
was not white, and then he went ON
the doubIe-auick for his erstwhiIe
clerk, fearful lest some one else had
hired him.
Billy had Just got In and knew In
moment what was wrong.
Yes, he would go back for 81 a week
more-had just been offered that down
street.
So Billy got his. job and a raise
through being fired. And his friends
send IN an occasional order just to
make the thing strong.
He had spent several hours with
her that evening at the home on st.
Anthony hill, and thought her very
much preeccupied and averse to talk

haps something might be wrong, he
#ventured to ask her If such was the
case. She replied, mo-" In a very
dreamy manner. Then the horrible

how could he ever live without her?

mined to try her.
He arose to go, and, as he did so,
he said, in slightly frigid manner:

!. Desiring a won1an's opinion Of won-
en- customers, another restaurant was
sought and an Inexperienced waitress,
whose face is familiar to- the patrons
of one of the best natronized lunch
rooms in st. Paul, interrogated. The
noon rush here was also over, and the

this; and IL remains to be seen wheth-
er you are equal to the occasion now
or no.
During all this harangue the young
nlan had been standing with open
eyed wonder-wondering what in the
world could be the fearful task she
had cut out for him to- perform. AL
ready she had her hand behind her
back In a most mysterious manner.
I've tried every young gentleman
friend ever had and they all fell
down. Now don't ON your life, as
she drew stamped and addressed en-
velop from behind her back, forget to
post IT,
There is a. woman living on ST. An.
thony hill who declares that she has
lost all faith In hunlanity-esp ecfafly
/ "womanity." Some time ago she was
led into sending for young girl who
was in Sweden, and wished very much
to come to America. The friends here
could not raise the money, and it was
equally impossible for the girl herself
to secure it by any means. So one "of
the friends here" enlisted the sympa-
thies Of this st. Anthony hill woman,
saying that "Hilda would be so CRATE
full; that she would work for almost
nothfng-or for only her board till the
debt was discharged" So she sent the
money.
Hilda came. She was entoined upon
her arrival to make herself perfectly
at home, and-weII, she took the ad-
vice. She waits in bed till the break
fast is ready; and the lady of the
house firmly believes that one Of these
mornings she will demand that it be
sent up to the bedside to her. This is
about the style of conversation that
takes place every morning:
"Hfldaw
"fss men," very sleepiIy.
"Are yeu getting up?"
eIss mem. ay be-"
Then, after rest of about ten min
utes, during which interval the woman
does, some hard thinking. Then:
"HiIda," quite savageIy.
@Iss men, just as sleepiIy.
"Are you up, Hi1da?"
'fss mem. Hafe o. me be ope, an
hafe O. me be gattin' ope."
Very frequently Justice is confused
in administration by those who, above
all others, should endeavor not to him
der the workings of the blind goddess.
An exempfiffcation of this was found
the other day In Judge Finehout's
court.
A small boy had been pronounced an

When such extraordinary results
were obtained by. persistent expert
ment, the. question naturally arose,
What was the history of the original
slip? 1t was then recalled that the
first plants had been given to the de-
partment by an unknown American
lady. It was then decided to name the
tree in honor of her. However, the
source Of wealth to her native land had
been lost and her name forgotten, and
no trace of her further travels or home
place has, vet been found. When first
received the letter was not considered
of sufficient Importance to be preserv-
ed. Thus the name of the woman who
has given more wealth and employ
ment to her country than Carnegie has
libraries will ever be unknown.
It may be she has come home after
her travels and settled in some bi1sy
American town. where she can enjoy
her favorite fruit in its most perfect
state, all unconscious of the fact that
it was her gift to the world. Or may
hap she is resting the eternal rest ndar
the fragrant orange groves of some
land far from her native shore.

was something appalling. Time after
time he had been paroled-only to
break his solemn word of honor. The
other morning he was up again, and
the fond mother, knowing for sure
that this was the urchin's last chance,
was there with him to move the ada

"That's IT," said the Judge, you'll

promisesHto say nothing of the spir-

Eyes, you'll do it this time. That's
what makes it so hard for a court to
do it's duty. The parents who, above
all others, should be the ones to back
the court up and try to make some
thing out of their child, beg him off and
then let him go on in the old way"
Evidently the boy was of shrewd-
er bent of mind than the mother me
saw the drift things ought to take.
and Siding up to her he said lr a
loud whisper:
ATen him you'll whale the stuffin'

Faddists Are Out of 1t.
'I think" he resumed as the door
closed on the two girls, that health
faddists and physical culture cranks
would have some of their pet theories
upset if they took charge of a popular
lunch room for a week. Did you no.
tice the difference in those two girls
who just left? Well, the tall, broad
shouldered one with the fine complex
ion has been coming to this restaurant
every week day for the last two years,
and what do you think she orders? A
| cup of black tea and a. piece of custard
pie. Occasionally she has some other
kind of pie and not infrequently she
/ substitutes coffee for tea, but she never,
| by any possible chance, orders any
thing more substantial. Now she ought
| to look like a nervous wreck. Instead
of that, she's the picture of health and
am always glad to see her come in,
she seems to bring with her an invigor-
ating atmosphere. The thin little girl
| with her is what the mattresses call
'1nfcky.' She drinks hot water instead
of tea or coffee and genraIIy she eats
graham rolls and always some kind of
fruit But no physical culture faddist
or health food crank would care to
point her out as an example Of the
beneficial results of his system" Again
the proprietor broke the thread of his
discourse this time to listen to a con-
plaint as well as to accept the price
of g. check. It was a sharp-faced little
| old lady wfth-very big spectacles who
stood before the desk and with a voice
trembling with Indignation told of the
giaring inattention of the girl who had
waited ON her at the table The pro-
prietor promised to look into the mat
ter and the little old lady walked out,
banging the door behind her.
One DisagreeahIe Customer.
'.She's a character and a mighty dis
agreeable customer" he observed with
sigh as he closed the cash drawer.
"Once upon time she used to keep a
restaurant herself, but now she is a.
demonstrator. She comes here regu-
larly every noon, and just as regu-.
larly after her meal she registers a
complaint. At first I took it seriously,
and got after the mattresses, but after
had done little observing myself
came to the conclusion that her
grievances were altogether sfancied.
We call her the bean eater for her
luncheon invariably consists of plate
of beans with some brown bread It
is so seldom that woman orders the
Boston dish that the old lady would
be remarkable for that alone, even if
she were not chronic fault finder.

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

The editor of the Courier-Journal,
Hon. Henry WatterSon, man who is
somewhat beyond the medium of life,
and in position to look back over a
brilliant career, has this to say of
earthly happiness:
Success in life is happiness, and
tine happy man, the successful man, is
the man who believes his old wife the
best woman in the world, and the
vine-covered cottage he calls his home
is the dearest spot ON earth, and who
would not swap his ragged, freckle-
faced. rcd-headcd children for the
best dressed and best looking kids OF
the proudest and richest man on
earth. The men in their places are
the men who stand. Essential as are
material things of life, under right
conditions, they do not OF themselves,
bring happiness. Millions of money
will not save the sensitive man the
tortures of Il sore toe. Infinite fame
will not save the proud man the tor
ments of n debt he is unable to pay.
Happiness is a creation of the mind
and heart, and not of the stomach
and body
