His Time Was Not Up.

A man Of mercenary spirit had
several sons, one Of whom was on the
eve Of his twenty-first birthday. The
father had always been a strict disci
plinarian. keeping his boys we'll under
parental charge, allowing them few lib
critics and making them work hard.
1t was with a feeling Of considera
BILE satisfaction that the young man
rose on the morning of his birthday
and began to collect his personal be-
longings preparatory to starting out In
the world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing
his trunk, which he rightly judged to
be evidence of the early loss of good
farm hand, stopped at the door of the
young mans room and asked what he
was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded his
father Of the day Of the month and
the year, and declared his intention OF
striking out in the world on his own
account.
''Not much you won't" shouted the
old man, "at least not for while

o'clock, so you can just take off them

The Well Bred Girl.

Good breeding, to be sure, depends
much or home and mother. 1t is said
ones ancestors have a finger in it
also.
But the girl who hasn't ancestors
needn't despair.
Nor need she whose family are not
everything that is to be desired.
1t is nice, of course, to be born well
bred. But one can achieve it.
Here are some of the ways it can
be done:
The well-bred girl never fuses.
She takes her gowns, her hats, her
success quite as matter of course.
She Is quite unconscious Of her veil
or her pompadour, her jewels, or her
new shoes.
A pretty girl who is always admir-
ingly spoken Of as being $50 we'll
bred" was complimented on the pretty
gown she was wearing. She was so
entirely unconscious of it that she ac-
tually had to look down and see which
one she had on.
The we'll bred girl never airs fam
lily differences nor domestic upheavals.
She never asks personal questions.
If some sudden reversal of fortune
comes she isn't always talking Of her
former circumstances.
Neither does she apologize for work
ing for her living.
Her repose Is not the quietness OF
weakness, but the calmness Of
strength. She is sure of herself, her
family, her position; If she have not
these, then of her own worthiness.
The well-bred girl Is rest, de-
light We know she will never betray
a confidence, pry into personal af-
fairs, nor put us to disadvantage
before others.-Ph Philadelphia Evening

Runs a Cat Farm.


There Is woman on the coast Of
Maine who has made very consid-
cradle income conducting q cat farm.
In her locality is a beautiful species
Of cat called by some OF the natives
coon cat and by others 'shag cat"
These cats in many cases attain to
considerable size eighteen and twenty
pounds being not at all uncommon.
They vary in color, have large heads.
and many of them pronounced mutton
chop whiskers in addition to their
''smellers," the fur on their chests
grows very long, and some among the
finest Of the breed have small fur
tassel growing from the very center
of the chest.
In frequent instances these cats ma
ture with blue eyes, and it Is not I'M
common to see a full-grown cat OF
this breed with one blue eye and one
green eye.
Years ago many of the Maine sea
captains brought home from their
trips to Eastern ports specimens OF
the beautiful cats of the Orient,
which In after years developed into
the present coon cat.
The price ranges from S. upward,
size. color, ETC.. determining the cost.
The proprietor Of this cat farm says
that cats are easitr to raise and COM
mand reader sales than dogs.

The Perfect Woman.


She shall be
As is a flower, so born in purity,
And in her virtues boundless as the air;
Girt up with fear, fenced round with
chastity,
Rounded in wisdom perfect as a star.
Reverence shall wait upon her steps, and
Love
Shall clothe her like a garment; on her
brow
Shall Truth sit smiling like the watch
full star
That hangs upon the forehead of the
Eve.
A great simplicity shall mark her ways
And bind the linked action of her time;
Tears shall lie near the surface of her
life;
Infinite pity, like living spring,
Shall bubble in the silence of her heart;
Her soul shall hunger with an awful
wish,
And all the pulses Of her being yearn
To mitigate the sorrows of her kind.
Calm eyed and patient, never speaking
i'll,
AHu SLOW TO speak wherein sue cdnHol
praise;
Faith, never dim, shall guide her feet;
and Hope
Shall brood upon her being like dove;
And over all like Benediction's calm,
Shall all her paths be lit by Charity;
Faith, Hope and Charity, these three
yet so
AS Charity is greatest, shall she
Be known by Charity.
