A Lost Art.


Graceful bowing," remarked the
statuesque young lady Mt the head of
the tea table, lis fast becoming one Of
the lost arts. Few are proficient In it,
and, indeed, the difficulties are many.
l am referring of course to men. Wo-
men are still mistresses of the art, but
not all of them, either.
But l have seen men who were fat,
not to say tubby, and they find that a
mere inclination Of the head is a bur-
den, for it induces disagreeable rushes
of blood to the head, and that is bad
for men who wear twenty inch collars.
And there are men who are tall, lean
and scraggy, and when they bow, be-
ing sensitive plants, they think and
make the spectator think, Of stringed
mariOnettes, and they dread the smile
Of the man in the street.
"And have seen men whom the crit
ical moment found unprepared, with
hands In pockets. And l have seen
them when they were wearing caps
and clutched vainly and instinctively
at hat brins, and I blushed at their
grotesQue poses and involuntary carica-
lures Of the line Of beauty."-New

TWO SECRETS,


| Eben Hid His From His Wife. and
She Cherished Her own.
FLOWS business, Eben?'
The old man was washing at the sink
after his days work.
"Fine, Marthy; fine!"
'Does the store look just the same,
with the red geranium in the window
Land, how I'd like to see it with the
sun shining in! How does it look, Eb-
en-"
Eben did not answer for a moment.
When he did, his voice shook bit.
'"The stores never been the same
since you left, Marthy."
A faint little flush came into Martha q
withered cheek. Is wife ever too old
to be moved by her husbands flattery?
For years Eben and Martha had kept
tiny notion store; then Martha fell
sick and was taken to the hospital.
That was months ago. She was out
now, but she would never be strong
again-never be partner in their happy
little trade again.
Il can't get over a laundering for a
sight Of the store" thought Martha one
forenoon. III take it real careful, l
can get down there 'Tisn't so far.
Eben II scold, but he'll be tickled most
to DEATH"
It took long time for her to drag
herself downtown, but at last she stood
at the head of the little street where
the store was. All of a sudden she
stopped. Ahead, on the pavement,
stood Eben. A tray hung from his
neck, on which were arranged few
cards Of collar studs, some papers Of
pins and shoelaces. Two or three hold
ers were in his shaking old hand, and
as he stood he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of the
building. She looked over the way at
the little store. Its windows were filled
with fruit, and an Italian name fiut-
tered on the awning. Then Martha un-
derstood. The store had gone to pay
her expenses. She turned and hurried
away as fast as her trembling limbs
would take her.
1T will hurt him so to have me find
out" she thought, and the tears trio
killed. down her face.
"He's kept secret from me, and I'll
keep one from him." she said to her.

That night when Eben came in, chill
ed and weary. Martha asked cheerful
ly the old question:

A Gentle Hint.

and originality of some of his remarks.
On road leading to neighboring
parish he one day met gentleman who

marked:
''That's fine fat dog you have. Al

"Sae weel he may, sir" was the reply,

An old colOred woman who had saved

to consult with him about investing it
probably. When she was asked, says
Harper's Magazine, what interest she
expected, she answered in a very sure
and emphatic manner:
'Twelve per cent, Mr.. ledge"
When the attorney expressed some
surprise. she explained her position
thus:

stairs.
They entered the room in response t.
somewhat embarrassed, made the bish
op known to the pale faced child lyins
on the dingy bed.
No one had ever seen the scholarly
bishop in so delightful a mood as the
two children found him that afternoon
Morals cheeks grew pink with happi
ness and her eyes brighter than ever as
she listened to stories, guessed riddles
and played games with the bishop and
Dummy Dee.
At last the shadows grew longer.
'I've last story to tell you two chill
dren before we co." said the bishop
"and you must be very quiet and listen
hard, for there is guessing part to it.
"Once upon time" began the bish-
op, there lived a man alone, and, as
sometimes happens to lonely people,
he grew selfish and bitter hearted. He
forgot the teachings of the one whom
he had vowed to serve, but tried in
stead to serve himself and was unhap-
py, as all such men are.
'"There came to him one day q dear
little friend of his who was also lone
~. but who tried to forget his loneli-
ness by helping others and was COM
forted by doing this. So the man
learned lesson from his little friend,
and he, too, found comfort and happi-
ness as the boy had.
"Now, the man naturally did not
want to be lonely and unhappy and
bitter again, for he found the better
part, so he thought out plan. He
would take the boy down south to his
mother, who is almost well, but not
quite so well as she will be when the
man brings to her her youngest boy"

his fingers closed gratefully over the
bishops fine lawn that he found within
his grasp.

with shake in his voice. "The first
part of my puzzle story guessed with
out a mistake. Now for the second.
Then he took the little sick girl to
white, bright room that he knows of in
the children's hospital, where, sur

and loving care, she can get we'll and
perhaps come to live in the lonely house

well-known brokerage firm. Mr.. Brooks
is holding a large amount of money for
a Philadelphia pool, and had standing
offer up for some time to bet any
amount on the Reliance at 2 to 1. This
offer has now been Withdrawn, it being
believed that the odds will go to 10 to
or 10 to 7. In the meantime Brooks is
taking all the Reliance money he can
get at 1 to 2.
If the Reliance wins the yacht races
the pinnacle of the Shamrock Ill is to

fused to say anything concerning the
status of the banks affairs except that
he had prepared a statement for the
COMPTROLLER of the currency. 1t is ru-
mored on the street that the bank has
a large sum in paper which is alleged
to be practically worthless. 1t is also
stated that there is 100000 in over
ness May 81, 1901. The capital stock
was 100000, and the deposits have
ranged in the neighborhood of $500, 900
until recently. The other banks in the
city were prepared for the collapse.
Their officers state that they have pro-
vided for any emergency that may
arise tomorrow. when the fact of the
suspension becomes generally known.
They say no other bank will be affect
