Not Much Impressed.

If New York has a word to say to
the stranger within it's gates, says a
correspondent of the New Orleans
imes-Democrat, it Is this: "Have you
succeeded at home? If not, why do
you think you will succeed where con-
ditions are more complex and diff
cultY' But in New York, as in other
large cities, those who are not to be
''bluffed' or discouraged and who go
resolutely about their business are rea-
sonably sure of success. Sometimes,
perhaps, little success makes more Of
noise in the world than it should.
One evening in restaurant, says the
correspondent, we were waited on by
real Southern darby. He was so un-

"George?"
"Yas'm," was the grateful rejoinder.

First Ofense.

A certain New England woman who
claims descent from long line of stiff
and aristocratic ancestors is constantly
troubled by the fear that she may do
something unworthy of the ideals
which they established and the stand
ard which she endeavors to maintain
for herself.
One warm summer evening she was
overpersuaded by young cousin from
New York to take a stroll along the
street without any fixed destination,
lured on by the charm Of the flooding
moonlight
what beautiful nightw cried the
girl. But Oh, Cousin Hester, you're
not half enjoying it with a hat on and
gloves!. Do take off your glovesr'
"My DEAR" said Miss Hester, firmly,
81 should not think of it. You are
young, and you do not consider results
and consequences. If one begins to
let oneself go there is no end to it.
Since we started l have felt that nv
coming without veil was perhaps a
mistake. I can only hope that none
OF my fathers and mothers friends
will hear Of It,"

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kan, March 14.-One of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that of the
three-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Jonas
Brubaker, Of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
Of spinal meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
~ through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest Of the story:
"NYe began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is we'll as any
child, running and playing as If moth
ing had ever been the matter with her.
The doctors said she was beyond. the
reach Of medicine. Dodd's Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage Of Bright's Disease that
we thought nothing could save her."

why the suitor Chose the stoutest.

why the Suitor Chose the Stoutest.
An amusing method Of securing the
marriage Of his five daughters has
been adopted by wealthy tradesman
In Berlin. As suitors were not appar-
entity inclined to seek the hands and
affections of the daughters, the father
advertised that he would pay to the
accepted sutton Of each daughter a
dowry in cash proportionate to the
weight Of the selected damsel immedi-
ately after the wedding ceremony. A
young lawyer was the first who sub
mitted himself for the fathers ap-
prevail, and, having produced satisfac-
tory evidence as to his responsibility,
he was presented to the daughters. He
visited them for a week, and then
chose the stoutest Of the five, to whom
he was yesterday married. When the
ceremony was over the lady was
weighed and registered II stone, the
father Immediately paying over to his
son-in-law a sum Of 1900 Clowns

A Culinary Problem.

In coeducational college near Chi
cago the senior class recently decided
to give an old-fashioned "sociable" for
which the girls of the class should pro-
vide the supper. To two Of them was
assigned the task of bringing dough
nuts Of their own manufacture.
For several days they went about
with puckered foreheads, evidently
wrestling with some nightly problem.
Their study, which had been a haven
Of peace, resounded through long even
ings with argument and expostulation.
At last, when their relations were
somewhat strained, they applied to a
court Of arbitration to settle their diff
ferences. Mrs. Smith, wife of one Of
the professors, was taken into their
confidence.
Mrs. Smith," begged one Of them,
won't you settle a dispute for us?
It's about doughnuts, and can't con-
vince Anna that I'm right She thinks
they ought to be fried in milk!''
"And what would you do with
them?"
why, know just what to do. I've
been in the kitchen and seen 1mogene
cook them. You fry them in water, of
course, in a whole kettleful."

HANDS THAT WERE WILLING.
But Not the Ones tho Lieutenan
Thought He Was Holding.

But Not the Ones tho Lieutenant
Thought He Was Holding.
There is story going the rounds
concerning a young man in the service
who prefxes his name with lieutenant,
that, since the army and navy recep-
ton at~the White House a week ago,
greets him at every turn. As it hap
pened the night was bitter cold and
the guests in the long line registered
many objections regarding the trying
wait.
Naturally enough the young officer
did everything to add to his fair COM
panion's comfort and manifested great
eagerness to protect her hands from
the cold with his own. But the young
lady would have none Of it.
Some moments later the lieutenant
was seen to slip his hands under the
cloak Of very much older and less
attractive looking girl than the one to
whom he was playing the gallant, and
there, apparently, being no objection,
he succeeded in holding captive her not
unwilling hands.
"Why didn't you let me do this from
the start?" he asked Of his pretty COM
panion, looking down into her eyes
with the self-satisfied grin man some
times wears when he approaches a
sublimity Of having conquered.
For precisely the same reason am
not permitting you to do so now. and I
think If you will release the young
woman's hands who is in front Of me,
perhaps her escort will experience less
difficulty in assisting her up the steps,
and you will be freer to help me. AS
the situation is you are crowding me
out Of the line in order to cling to her
hands and making 1t impossible for
the young woman to see that it is not
her escort with whom she is holding
hands, but an entire stranger" Wash

WHY Your Coffee Is Bad.

Bridget is an excellent cook; but,
like most women Of her profession, she
Is opinionated, and insists upon max
ing all her dishes strictly according to
her own recipes. Her mistress gave
her full swing not only as to cooking,
but as to the purchase Of supplies. The
other day her mistress said to her,
Bridget, the coffee you are giving
US is very good. What kind Is it?"
1T is no kind at all, num-" said
Bridget. "It's a mixter."
"How do you mix it?'
II shake 1t one-quarter Mocha and
one-quarter Java and one-quarter Rio"
''But that's only three-quarters.

II put in no other quarter at all,

A Realistic Tale.

The successful actor is always the
one who can bring his audience into
the very atmosphere Of the play, sway
ing its feelings according to the spirit
Of his part. Such was young Sun
day-school teacher who told the infant
class the story Of Moses shifting the
rock.
With the help Of charts and a vivid
power Of description, she presented to
the small folk touching picture of
the misery brought upon the children
Of Israel through the lack Of water.
She told Of the thirst Of the little
children, the piteous suffering Of the
babies and the, dumb agony Of the an
finals. Then, In bright contrast, she
drew the scene Of relief and joy as the
clear spring issued from the rock.
''The children stopped down and
scooped up the cool drink in their tiny
hands; the babies laughed as their
mothers wet their hot little lips; and
the dogs wagged their tails in delight
as they thrust their noses into the
stream, and drew in long, refreshing
draughts."
Here the teacher became aware Of a
sound Of weeping, which proceeded
from a small girl in the corner, and
stopped her narrative to inquire the
cause.

MILLIONS IN A BALL GAME.
Senator Spooner's Fondness for the
Sport Brought Fortune to Wicow.


Sport Brought Fortune to Wicow.
Senator Spooner, Of Wisconsin. il
not the only public man devoted to
baseball, but there are few men who
have turned single ball game to ac-
count to the tune of many thousand
dollars. Yet that's what they tell
about him. He was sitting on fence
as the story gOeS-in a little New
England town where he spends his
summers watching a game, when for
tune came to him in disguise of a
shabby man with a hard-luck story.
Ordinarily the Senator would not
have been inclined to listen, but as
he could watch the game at the same
time he told the man to go ahead
The stranger said that he was pass
ing through the town and wanted to
interest an able lawyer in the case
Of his sister, who was living in abject
poverty in Boston with several chill
dren dependent on her. He went on
to explain that his sister had married
barkeeper of that city and that her
husband had been very successful,
was interested in a number Of hotels,
and had become millionaire. With
his change Of fortunes he had taken
to dissipation and finally had abandon
ed his family and contracted a biga-
nous marriage elsewhere.
Mr.. Spooner was not much impress
ed with the story at first, particularly
as the stranger said that he and his
sister had no money to pay lawyer,
but were anxious to have Senator
Spooner take the case on a contingent
fee, which would be half Of what he
could recover for the deserted wife.
The Senator took the address Of the
poor woman, but with hardly a
thought that he should ever have oc-
casion to refer to it.
It chances, however, that he was
in Boston short time afterward and,
discovering that there was to be a
good ball game in the afternoon, de-
cided to stay over until the following
morning. This resulted in his hav-
ing the early part Of the day unoccu-
pied on his hands, and, remembering
the hard-luck story, he INDUCED in
his curiosity by visit to the woman.
He found her in the greatest poverty,
as described, and surrounded by evil
dences to confirm the allegations Of the
stranger. On his way to his Wiscon-
sin home he stopped in Chicago and
enlisted the services of friend there
to look up the record ct the husband,
who, he ascertained, had recently died.
In a day or two he received a tele-
gram, calling him to Chicago at once,
as the statements made to him had
proved true. The widow-as she sup
posed herself to be-who had inner
tied the fortune, learned with amaze
ment Of the existence Of a previous
wife, and her lawyers were equally as
tonished. But a brief investigation
led to settlement, by which $3,0O0,-
600 estate was equally divided, and
Senator Spooner carried away an enor-
nous fee as the fruit of an afternoons
