1.-THE fun Of doing a hard job prettily
This Is the second turn I've made. The
first was like this: I saw a rich, fat
man in crowd, and noticed that his
watch was hung in a new way, hard to
break. My fingers itched, not for the
watch, but to break it off. I moved up,
lifted the watch, walked away with it,
and then went back and hung the thing
ION the chain again. This second time
was something like that. I saw deli

just then the fellow happened to look
for the time. He "hollered," and de-

Trolley Mail Service.


Baltimore American: Every step in
the development of the postal system
has been the result of years Of agitation
and effort, which was needed to over
come the innate prejudices against
change in anything affecting the rou-
tine of government service. Penny pos
tage Gin England), free city delivery,
railway mall service, rural delivery and
trolley mail cars, the introduction Of
each Of which things marked an epoch
in postal history-all these reforms
came slowly. It is gratifying, there
fore, to see with what live interest the
present management Of the postoffice
department Is pursuing experiments in
what will undoubtedly be the next
great postal innovation-the collection
of mail by the ordinary trolley car,
which receives letters while in motion.
The idea originated with a Balti-
morean-Mr. George B. McAllister-
whose years Of labor in bringing it to
a practical state seems to be on the
verge Of bearing fruit. In the, official
tests thus far made the government ex-
perts have expressed themselves as be-
ing satisfied with the mechanical FEAST
bility Of the system. This has been the
only obstacle in the way Of it's general
introduction it being universally con-
coded that there will be an immense
saving in time and money when the
citizen can drop his letter directly into
a passing trolley car for almost imme-
date dispatch to other points, instead
Of having it lie for hours, or perhaps
overnight, in a street corner letter box.

A soma for the Girl Love.

A song for the girl love
God love her.
A song for the eyes that tender shine,
And the fragrant mouth that melts on
mine:
The shimrnertng tresses uncontrolled
That clasp her neck with tendrils of gold
And the blossom mouth and the dainty
chin,
And the little dinples out and in
The girl / love
God love her!
A song for the girl loved
God love heri
A song for the eyes of faded light
And the cheek whose red rose waned to
white,
And the quiet brow, with its shadow and
CLEAN,
And the dark lashes dropped in a long,
deep dream,
And the small hands crossed for their
churchyard rest,
And the lilies dead on her sweet dead
breast
The girl I loved
God love her!

Chinese Writing Easy to Learn.

London Express: Chinese is an ideo-
graphic language. 1t conveys the idea

his head on his arms and sobbed-
sobbed as only can the man from whom
is taken his only hold on life.
For a long while he lay. Then came
a tap at the door. He did not hear it.
The door opened gently, and woman
entered. 1t was Nella. Quietly she
stepped to the table. Her eyes rested
on the roses. She read her name on
the dedication of the song on which
they rested. and a great sob, half Of
sorrow, half of joy, rose in her throat.
Very tenderly she touched the bowed
head.
Dicky started up and stared at her
without comprehension. Then a light
came into his eyes. "You?" he said,
huskily.
Yes. Z" she answered, smiling.
'But-but-I-"
Tell me-" she said stopping him,
why you kept those flowers"
Though her voice was without emo
that sent the blood leaping in his veins.
He rose, and drew her to him
Because love you" he whispered,
his voice almost fierce with JOY.
1t was Nella who wept now.
"Dicky," she sobbed. when I didn't
see you In the orchestra I fancied all
sorts of dreadful things, so I asked
your address from the doorkeeper-I
knew your name from the very first
and came here to find out what hap
pened to you. Why didn't you write
me while was away, Dicky? thought
you would understand when I gave you
the flowers. Oh, Dtcky, Dicky, have
loved you ever since I looked down
into your eyes that night. I thought
that you loved me until I went away
and you did not write. Then I was
miserable, Dicky. But it doesn't matter
now!"
Nothing matters now" said Dicky,
and he kissed her on the lips.

Persons who are interested in phre-
nology graphology, chiromancy or as
trology will be glad to learn that a
new protective art has been invented.
1t is known as phonology, and it is bas
ed on the assumption that the charac.
ter Of every person can be learned
from his voice.
A voice which is clear and melo.
dious, we are told, invariably indicates
frankness, honesty and strength of
character, whereas a voice which is
gruff and husky is always an indica'
ton of ill temper and other undesir.
able qualities.
1t naturally follows that soft and
sweet voice is an index of loving kind
ness and philanthropy, though it is
hardly so clear why shrill, suueaky
voice should generally indicate dis.
contented and suspicious nature.

more than a decade. Half a dozen sis
tiers who are wage-earners will all be
married before they are % years old.
1T takes rich wardrobes, much trav-
cling much patience and good bank
account to marry off a pair of daugh-
tiers who belong to what is called the
smart set This may seem a Hstle
harsh but it is as true as gospel
do you often hear of scandals among

the wealthy class? Who is it that piles
UP the fortunes of the divorce lawyers?

Mrs. Van Worst and the other blind in

Many people are wont to look with
pity upon the working girl. whether
she tolls at a machine in a factory or
stands on her feet all day behind
is the most care free of all people. She
is healthy, she is balanced, she is
bright. In all my experience in dealing
with working girls L have known but
one to take her own life.
1T is not a seldom thing that girls
after they marry are compelled at times
to work. Men are not all constantly
employed. There is rent to pay and
food and clothing to buy. and often the
young married woman must leave her
home and go back to the counter or the
machine she forsook.
Not long ago 1 stepped into fac
tory and found working a young wo-
man who had been married two months
before.
Why, I thought you were married.?
/ said in surprise
I am, answered the young woman
and 1 asked her if she did not know
she was keeping out of a job some one
who needed work? You do not have to
work now?'
Yes, do, she answered. They are
glad enough to have me here and L
need the money
Thousands look upon the matter just
as did this young woman.
Among the very poor you will rarely
find a single woman who has passed
the marriageable age. The number of
unmarried women, it seems to me, in
creases as their wealth increases. 1t
takes all kinds and conditions of people
to make up a community, and we find.
therefore. women and men, too. who
would not marry if they could and per-
haps could not if they would. But when
certain persons say that the workers
as a class are stunning matrimony
they make a ridiculous display of their
ignorance {"
