There are some people who imagine
that wealth entities them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
eXempts them from obligations and
rules that others are disposed to obey.
An incident which occurred on one Of
our ocean steamers conveys a whole
some lesson to the purse proud con-
temners Of the rights Of the majority
A family of unlimited wealth had Sc
cured the best accommodation the
steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept
themselves secluded most of the time,
but the children were allowed to ruin
wild over the steamer until they be-
came such intolerable nuisances that
the captain was spoken to. and he gave
the youngsters severe reprimand.
This reused the Indignation of the
mother, who remarked to the captain
that as she paid first class fare she
thought she was entitled to first class
privileges.
Madam said the captain, first
class fare means first class conduct"
There was no further protest.-LordOn

That evening she went to the opera
with young Carlton Morley, who ap-
preciated things artistic and was an
enthusiast in Wagnerian scores. Nor
ley was particularly brilliant that
evening. but Amy Train beside him

unheeding ears. Amy was looking PEN
sively through the carriage window.
She was thinking that Jarvis sailed to-

bled him il would be over week after

rushing to him. She leaned against a
chair and said weakly:

The Sign of the Patch.

Mrs. Murray had advertised for a
skilled gardener to work by the day
in her yard, and somewhat to her en-
barrassment she was obliged to choose
between two applicants who appeared
at the same moment AS she stood on
her doorstep, questioning first one and
then the other, she became aware that
her mother-in-law, seated on the porch
short distance from the men and di-
rectly behind them, was frantically
gesticulating.
The old lady, satisfied at last that
she had attracted her daughter-in-
laws attention, pointed Enthusiastically
toward the less prepossessing of the
two men, and the younger woman,
supposing that her relative had some
personal knowledge of the applicant,
promptly engaged him.
"Has that man ever worked for you,
mother?' asked Mrs. Murray when
the two women We're alone.
NO" replied the old lady. Il never
saw or heard of either of 'em I'M
til now"
"Then why in the world did you
choose the shorter man? The other
had much better face"
"Face!' returned the old lady brisk
