WAS RAISED A PET"

Epistle No. s i'm the Letters of a
Self Made Merchant to His Son" was
Written from the Hot Springs in Ar
kansas, where the Urea tment" fiends
had been running the old man through
the "scalding watts" until they'd pretty
nearly taken all the hair off his hide"
and he has been telling the boy all
about it. But. recalling that the latter
has just been promoted from the mail
ing to the billing desk, he gets himself
together and proceeds:
But that isn't what | started out to
say. l want to tel you that / was
very. very glad to learn from your let
ter that you had been promoted to the
billing desk. l have felt all along that
when you get a little OF the nonsense
tried out of you there would be resi-
due of common sense. and l am gled
to have your boss back up my judg-
ment. There's two things you Just
naturally don't expect from human
nature-that the Widows tombstone

is trying to convince the neighbors
against their better judgment that he
went to heaven. and the fathers esti-
mate Of the son, on which he is trying
to pass him along into a good salary.
will be conservative.
l had that driven into my mind and
spiked down when I hired the widows
son few years ago. His name was
Clare -ce-Clarerce st. Clair HiCks-ard
his father used to keep books for me
when he wasn't picking the winners at
Washington park or figuring out the
batting averages of the Chicagos. He
was one of those quick men who al
ways have their books posted up half
an hour before closing time for three
weeks of the month. and spend the
evenings of the fourth hunting up the
eight cents that they are out on the
trial balance. When he died his wife
found that his life insurance had lapsed
the month before. and so she brought
Clarence down to the Office and asked
me to give him a job.
Clarence wasn't exactly a pretty boy:
In fact. he looked to me like another
of his fathers bad breaks; but his
mother seemed to think a heap of him.
/ learned that he would have held the
belt in his Sunday school for long dis
lance verse reciting if the mother of
one of the other boys hadn't fixed the
superintendent. and that ii had taken
general conspiracy of the teachers in
his day school to keep him from walk
INK OF with the good conduct medal
1 couldn't just reconcile those state
ments with Clarence's face. but / ac-
cepted him at par and had him passed
along to the head errand boy. His
mother cried a little when she saw him
marched off. and asked me to see that
he was treated kindly and wasn't bull
lied by the bigger boys, because he had
been raised a pet"
A number Of unusual things happened
in the offices that morning and the
head office boy thought Clarence might
be able to explain some of them, but ne

\ CURIOUS MACHINE.

One of the many things Prof. Brewer
is interested in is the agricultural ex-
pertinent station maintained by the
state in the outskirts of New Haven
One day the professor took his sons
through the place, explaining to them
the different pieces of apparatus. They
were particularly interested in a GER
tain machine designed TO smoke cigars
automatically, whereby the finest ash
possible is obtained and analysed
Il noticed that the boys were at
tracted by this machine. and explained
it to them carefully" said the profess

about it, however. until one Sunday

over the stock yards.

when a bookkeeper found the vault
filled with something he couldn't de-
scribe; but as he was a new boy. no
one was disposed to bear down on him
very hard; so his cigarettes were taken
away from him, and he was sent back
TO his bench with a warning that he
had used up all his explanations.
Along towards noon. a big Boston
customer came in with his little boy,
"a n'ce. plump. stall fed youngster
with black velvet pants and hair that
was just a little longer than was safe
in the stock yards district. And while
we were talking business, the kid wan
dered off to the coat room. where the
errand boys were eating lunch-which
was pretty desperate place for a boy
with velvet pants to go to.
As far as we could learn from Willie
when he came out of his commissions.
the boys had been very polite with him
and had insisted on his joining in a new
game which Clarence had just invented,
called playing pig sticker." And, be
cause he was company, Clarence told
him that he could be the pig. Willie
didn't know just what being the pig
meant, but. as he told his father, II
didn't sound very nice and he was
afraid he wouldn't like it, So he tried
to pass along the honor to some one
else. but Clarence insisted that it was
"hot stun to be the pig" and before
Willie could rightly Judge what was
happening to him. one end of a rope
had been tied around his left ankle
and the other end had been passed over

no flames in sight, and not even a
merry little spark to reward him for
his search, so he looked at the pictures
in the drawing room a bit. so that the
length of his absence might convince
the scared lady upstairs he was making

1t is the firm belief of the writer that
the reason no man is a hero to his valet
is because his valet sees him in his
bath robe. No masculine is an impos-
Ing figure so attired, but to the eternal
credit of this one it may be said that
he did not run when confronted by the
people in evening dress. He simply
drew the folds of his toga more closely
about him and went up the steps as
fast as dignity and as slowly as en-
barrassment would permit.

get ready for the awful denouement -
But that wretched man was already
asleep. so the woman had to prepare
things herself. She took all of her
iewelry, put it in it's cases and placed
them in a drawer in a chiffonier that
stood near the door of the room. She
stuck her stickpin in 4 handkerchief
and added them to the collection. Then
she pulled the drawer out half way, so
hat any one passing, even on a dead
run, could seize it and carry it along
She dragged by main force a small
trunk containing silver tea service,
forks and spoons from under the bed
took the cretonne cover off it and
placed it where the firemen could reach

and her own clothes on chairs, also for
the convenience of the firemen, and
retired.
The next morning IT was a very sur
prised woman who was awakened by
the peaceful ringing of the rising bell,
so surely had she expected TO wake up
to the tune of changing gongs and
hoarse shoutings.
I'm really very disappointed" said
she. as she watched her husband STUN
BILE over a trunk and extricate, with Il
strangled word, his dress suit from a
mass of clothing which had just slid
to the floor from a chair.
If the presentiments are not a cause
for divorce in this state I'll move to
one where they are the next time you
have one" rejoined her companion,
savagely. II wish you would be sens

silence in the room.-Baltimore News.
