One day last week, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, a we'll dressed man
of gentlemanly appearance walked into
the music department of the Congress
sional Library in Washington and asked
to see the catalogue. There was only
one clerk in the department at the
time, and she was a young woman.
She showed the man where the cata-
logue was and he began to turn it over.
After a while she stepped up and said
pleasantly:
Can l help you to find what you
want? Is there any particular piece
of music you are looking for?"
I'm sorry, my dear, but I'm obliged
to say no." he said.
The young woman was startled. She
could hardy believe her ears, but as
he did not look up from the catalogue
she began to think that she must have
misunderstood him. She waited a mo-
ment, and as he did not look up or
speak again she cleared her throat
rather nervously and said:
Perhaps l can help you. Did you
say you were looking for anything
that can assist you to find?"
I'm sorry my dear, but I'm obliged
to say no." he replied.
This time there was no doubt about

ened gaze around and saw that she
was alone. AS the music department
is in remote corner of the Congress
sional Library and there was no help
at hand, she turned around and walked
precipitately toward the door. Then
she told herself that she was a coward
and stole back to have another look at
the man. 1t was not possible that so
gentlemanly looking a man could mean
h
look up from the catalogue or say any
think more. So she came back and
said again:
What is it you are looking for? Can
l help you to find it?''
I'm sorry, my dear, but I'm Obliged
to say no." he said, in exactly the
same tone as before.
He was a mailman! She knew it now
and she went to the furthest corner
of the department and sat down. With
a beating heart she watched him out
of the corner.of her eye while he paved
over the catalogue. Still he did not
look up, and at last the quick beating
of her heart began to subside a little
She resolved to be brave. COMPRISING
her lips, she walked resolutely over to
him and said, steadily but pleasant
":
What is the title of the music you
are looking for?"
" I'm Sorry, My Dear, But I'm OBJ
liged to Say No." he said, lis the
title of the song, but 1. know neither
the composers name nor the publish
er's. This catalogue is little intricate
and perhaps you can help me to find
my way through it,
Then she blushed wildly and turned
to the catalogue to help him find the
song. But all the time she was look
ing through the catalogue she was in
wardly calling herself names.

An investigation into the life-his-
tory of seventy-five persons over nine
ty years of age, conducted recently
at Dresden, discloses some interesting
facts. Seventy of the old people are
jolly, only five being of serious turn
of mind. All of them sleep from eight
to nine hours out of twenty-four.
Nearly all of them hate water; a few
of them use it occasionally for wash
ing their hands, but never take A
bath. Very few of the number are
abstainers, and one old woman SAYS
she could not live unless she got
drunk three times a week The old
est man of the lot, age 100. gets drunk
on every recurrence of his birthday.
The living rooms of most of the old
people are seldom if ever aired. Most
of them are heavy eaters. Nearly all
of the men are smokers, as are some
of the women. These details are of
character TO put in doubt some favor
lite theories of how to live a hundred
years

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record says that
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio will
endeavor to have the ship subsidy bill
taken up and pressed to passage at
once. 1t may be doubted that the cor
respondent is correctly informed. Rep
resentative Grosvenor is under bit of a
cloud just at the moment, and the ship
subsidy bill is in a measure connected
with the matter. Certain letters to
prominent men connected with the
shipping trust, inviting them to buy
Gen. Grosvenor's book, at prices rang
ing from 500 to $1,000. and signed with
Gen. Grosvenor's name, were upon the
stationery of the Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries, which has
charge of the subsidy bill and of which
Grosvenor is chairman. And it APP
pears that several of these rich men
interested in the shipping trust actual
ly did buy copies of Grosvenors book.

The latest thing in trusts is proposed
for the benefit of charity. Mr.. Crozier
of Delaware, secretary of the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions, argues that if the trust idea can
be applied to business with benefit, it
ought to be applied to charities with
similar benefit. He therefore proposes
the Philanthropic Trust Company, with
cash capital of $4,000, 900, to be sub
scribed by the wealthy men of the
country, the income from this capital
to be devoted exclusively to approved
philanthropic uses. The proposition has
been laid before the President of the
United States

In one of the large manufacturing
establishments in this city an Irishman
was employed to watch one of the en-
frances, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
One day the superintendent saw the
Irishman was neglecting his duty, and
told him to go to the Office and get his
money, as his services were no longer
needed.
The superintendent went away on
business that day, and was gone about
a week or ten days.
On his return he happened to be
passing this same place, and was sur
prised to find the ITishman he had dis
charged still acting as Waterman.
He said, Il thought I discharged you

Sure" says the Irishman.

A story About schwab.

Charles NJ. Schwab when he was a
boy attended the village school of Lo-
retto, Pa, and in Loretto they still tell
the story of young Schwab and the
brick, says the Pfttsburg Gazette. 1t
seems that the schoolmaster was an
ardent geologist. He had ordered one
day that each of the children bring to
school specimen of some sort, and
these specimens he would designate
and describe one by one. Accordingly
on the appointed day a great armload
of stones were brought to the little
building, but young Schwab's contri-
button to the armload was a broken
brick, In due course the master took
up the specimens.
This" he said, lis a piece of field
spar from the crossroads.
This is a piece of mari from the
meadow
This is a piece of argillaceous
sandstone from the quarry.
and this" he Numbered, taking up
the broken brick, this is a piece of
impudence from Charlie Schwab."

New Orleans will probably have
within a short time a palace car SER
vice on its street railways. A number
of society ladies have petitioned the
street railway authorities to put on
special palace cars at certain hours
for their accommodation, charging
double the regular fare on them. The
ladies say it is impossible for them
to wear their afternoon and evening
gowns on the regular. cars, because
the cars are dirty and there is no tell
ing when laborer from the docks or
a guano warehouse will come in and
rub elbows and raiment with the
wearers of the fine gowns.
