Habits of Neatness.

Comparatively few men are distin-
guished for habits of neatness, yet
none can forgive lack of it in their
wives. Yet neatness is one of the rar-
est of feminine qualities. Early and
persistent must be the training which
carries the girl into womanhood with
her dump of neatness" we'll devel-
opcd. Unless inherently fastidious
during school days, she is liable to
drift into careless habits which she
never outgrows. One girl may have a
trick of leaving shoes about her room.
AS mere tot she was permitted to do
this, and as she grew older the untidy
custom was never abandoned, for the
simple reason that she herself did not
notice anything unusual about it, and
probably nobody else took the trouble
to correct her. Without thinking any
thing about it, some girls, otherwise
above reproach in their personal hab-
its. leave punches of combings on
their dressing tables, while the combs
themselves are permitted to retain for
days at time harvests of dead hairs.
This is one of the habits which, when
carried into the matrimonial state,
send young husbands back to their
clubs.

He Got the Job,

II was much amused the other day"
said an uptown hardware dealer, "at
a small boy who came around looking
for job. One Of the clerks had drop
ped lot of sharp pointed tacks into
a drawer of brass screws and had CIV
en- UP the idea of taking them out.
"When the youngster turned up
looking for job we thought we would
try him out by letting him sort the
two articles. He went at it the same
way we had begun, picking out the
tacks with his fingers and getting the
point Of every third tack in the ball
OF his thumb.
Gle had enough in about a minute,
and he Strengthened up. We all began
to smile, expecting him to give up the
Job. Instead of that he went over to
the show case and picked out horse
shoe magnet. Then he came back to
the box. In thirty seconds he had the
tacks out, and the screws were still in
the compartment. He knew that the
magnet would attract iron and not
brass, and in a jiffy he had accom-
plished what we had been trying to
do all the morning.
eve didn't really need boy, but
this chaps smartness appealed to us,
and we find him so handy to have
around that next Saturday he gets a
raise"

IRISH ENDURANCE WON.
Great Tug of War Between Slavs and
Irishmen in Arizona.

The Irish beat the Slavs at the
Opera house last night, after one of
the greatest exhibitions Of endurance
that has ever been witnessed in the ter
ritory of Arizona, says the Bisbee,
Arizona, Miner of December 21st.
After pulling hours and IS minutes,
the Irish gained their last inch, and
were declared the winners. Every
man on the team jumped to his feet
with shout There has never been
a greater demonstration of enthusiasm
in this city than that shown at the
opera house last night when the noble
Irish team won. The men were not
only pulling for the honor Of winning
the match, but each team had up a
side bet of $1,000. Besides this there
was over $1,000 wagered on the match.
1t was contest that any one might go
miles to see. At no time did the in
terest lag Friends OF both teams
were kept on the jump as each gained
or lost an inch.
The judges of the contest we're Gus.
Raub, c. M. Radulovich and E. M.
Cassidy. Foreman Jack Taylor acted
as starter He fired a pistol when the
match started and wien it ended. Both
teams had attendants. Harry Jennings
WAS at all times there to encourage
tie sons OF Erin, and w. D. Manich
cleercd his countrymen.
| Not an uninteresting part Of the con-
test was the work done by Mike Han
non, captain of the Irish team, and l..
Micovich, captain of the Slavs. Each
had code of signals and stood near
the end Of the opposing team to watch
every false step that was taken. One
Of the most wonderful men on either
of the teams was Mike Casey, anchor
man for the Irish. He pulled for near
ly three hours, and then jumped up
and clrcled one OF the iron braces near
the ceiling. 1t was surprising to see
the amour: OF activity that was left in
both teams. The men were all able to
ge: up, and hurry to the dressing
rooms, where they changed their
clothes. After the match the Irish
came down town and captured it with
out struggle.
At the start of the contest the Savs
had it all their own way. Inside OF an
hour they had the Irish team pulled
IS inches toward the Slav goal. At
the end OF two hours the Irish took a
brace and in 80 minutes were again
even. From that time on until the
end of the match they pulled the Slavs
inch by inch. Toward the last they
had little difficulty bringing their op-
ponents toward Killarney. For time
it looked as if they were sure to lose.
! All of their supporters were down.

Sore Threats.

A we'll known man suffered all dur
ing last winter from throat troubles
and from specialists treatments there
for. He says that he endured many
things, and enumerates them. This
autumn his throat began its antics
again, and, dreading the repetition OF
a year ago's experience, he went to a
trustworthy, old-fashioned doctor. He
stated his case and detailed his suffer-
illgs, and received and paid for the ad-
vice he got, namely, "Wear rubbers."
That, and nothing more. So the man
with throat is wearing rubbers, and
is free from his dreaded enemy.
Everybody used to wear rubbers in
cold weather, but of late years the
wearing OF rubbers has come to mark
the man or woman with them on as
Gays" When any one wants to be
really funny, he describes his victim
and adds, "and he had on rubbers," but
common sense is more than ridicule.
Warmth is goed,for us in. a severe

hearted and expected defeat. Before
the teams were even again there were
offers OF to at the poolroom on the
Irish team with no takers. The bet
ting before the contest was brisk.
There seemed to be no end to the Slav
money, and much of it went begging.
No odds were offered by either side
Until the last when 10 to I would not
have been taken against the Irish.
Every member of the Irish team owes
his victory to superior endurance. It
was this that overcame the 26 inches
and added SO inches more and then
victory.
The Slavs lost hard fought battle,
and deserve credit. Captain Michovich
of the Slav team stated this afternoon
that he has $4,000 which he will bet
that the Slavs can beat the Irish in
contest one month or six weeks from
now.

Joy and Grief.

The world is sweet and fair and
bright,
And joy aboundeth everywhere,
The glorious stars crown every night,
And thro' the dark of ev'ry care
Above us shineth heavens light.
If from the cradle to the grave
We reckon all our days and hours,
We sure will find they give and gave
Much less of thorns and more of
flowers;
And tho some years must ever lave.
The paths we tread, upon them all
The light Of smiles forever lies,
AS DER the rains, from clouds that
fall,
The sun shines sweeter in the skies;
Life holdetll more of sweet than gall
For ev'ry one, no matter who
Or what their lot-or high or low;
All hearts have clouds-but heavens
blue
Wraps robes of bright around each
woe,
And this is truest of the true.
That joy is stronger here than grief,
Fills more of life, far more Of years,
And makes the reign Of sorrow brief;
Gives more of smiles for less of
tears.
Joy is life's tree-grief but its leaf.

An old Indian once asked white
man for some tobacco. The man
gave him a loose handful from his
pocket. The next day he came back
and asked for the white man.
"For," said he, 81 found quarter
of dollar among the tobacco leaves"
"Why don't you keep it," asked a
bystander.
Give got a good man and bad
man here,' said the Indian, pointing
to his breast; "and the good man say,
1T is not mine; give it back to the
owner The bad man say, Never
mind, you have it, and it is your own
now The good man say, No, no!
you must not keep it So, I never
know what to do, and think to go to
sleep, but the good man and the bad
man keep talking all night, and trouble
me. Now, I bring the money back,
feel good"
Like the old Indian, we have all
good man and a bad man within us.
The bad man is temptation, the good
man is Conscience; and they keep
talking for and against many things
that we do every day. Who wins?
The following is an example of the
reluctance of the canny Scot to part
with gratuitous or unasked-for infor-
nation:
An Englishman, CHANGING to be in
Aberdeen, decided to call on granite
merchant with whom he had done
business some years previously, but
whom he had not seen since. Pro-
ceeding to his stoneyard and observ-
ing an old mason polishing a slab of
granite, he inquired:
SIS Mr.. Frazer in?"
The old man replied, "Mr. Frazer's
no in"
'Ah, we'll, I'll call again."
Returning in half all hour, he again
asked: els Mr.. Frazer in?"
'Mr. Frazer's mo- in"
''Then I'll come again this after
noon, and perhaps find him."
Once more the visit was repeated,
and the same question put: els Mr..
Frazer in?"
"Mr. Frazer's no in"
'Do you think he will be in soon?"
II think he'll no. be in sune."
"What makes you think SOP"
Mr.. Frazer's deid."
A girl who had been very clever at
college came home the other day, and
said to her mother:
Mother, I've graduated; but now
I must inform myself in psychology,
