Easy for the Druggist.

A young man being out of employment recently requested former employer to give him c letter of recommendation to aid him in securing situation. The letter was written and handed to the applicant, who was quite unable to read it, as was every person to whom 1t Wa. shown. He was advised to take it to printing office, where 1t could be deciphered, as compositions are noted for being able to make out the worst specimens of writing, relates London Tit. Bits.
 It was handed to competitors in various offices, and in turn given up without being deciphered.
 As forlorn hope it was taken to q chem. ist, who, from his long experience in de eiphering prescriptions, had the reputat ton of being able to read anything.
 The man of drugs took the paper, gazed at it long and thoug ughtfully, and then seized an empty quart bottle and hurried round the shop, taking some fluids from sundry bottles, and finally shaking the compound vigorously. Then, banding 1t to the owner of the letter. he unmarked to shat as,on- ist'a individual:

 So they arose and sought the refreshmeAt room in the cabin.
 The steamer had nearly reached Racine before the lovers got fairly settled again. This time they were fortunate enough to find an unoccupisd boat, in which they en- sconced themselves comfortably and re- eumed the old unfinished business. They were in the most interesting part of 1t when somebody said. enthusiastically: Why, yes, there's lcts of room. The very place to eat our lunch in."
 It was not the black-eyed girl this time. It was the girl with the gray eyes They both clambered into the boat and proceeded to open their lunch packet. They seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. The lov- ere were depressed.
 Well, said the young man at last, "1 gusee we've bin . settin' here about loug enough. Don't yeu want to walk around awhils!'
 On the lower deck again they had found m almost secluded spot in the bow of the boat. When they saw the two shirt waisted gifls approaching with their air of sublime inconsistencies the young woman in the ball gown aid in . high, e,sar voice to the young man: 'T sh'd think some peopls'd have better sense than to come pok ing around all the time where they're not wanted"
 Apparently the black-eysd girl did not hear this remark, or, at least, gave it 10 personal application. "We get nice breeze here," che observed to her companion. "that feels heavenly-perfectly heavenly"
 The young man grew rsd in the face, but there was look of determination in his eye He rose and confronted the blaek-eyed girl, and seemed surprised

another only Latin. He is known to

One st. Paul woman received as
unique a gift for Christmas as could be
imagined and one that could not have
been possible a few years ago. Her
husband had gone to New York on
business and was detailed longer than
he expected and was obliged to remain
over Christmas to his great disappoint-
ment and that of his wife. In New
York they had a young man friend who
is connected with the telephone system
and has especial charge of the long
distance lines. The day before Christ
mas the ST. Paul woman received a
permit from New York sent from her
friend allowing her to talk to her hus-
band for half an hour, mentioning the
hour on Christmas morning when the
conversation could take place. So she
went UP to the Dale station in the
morning and there heard her husbands
voice as plainly as if he had been in
the next room. In that way they cele-
brated together though many miles
apart. 1t was a unique gift which has
probably never been duplicated, al
though much stranger things than this
may be made possible as the knowl-
edge of electricity advances.
