An Exasperated Landlord.

A tale comes from the Nut
meg State of a man who trav-
eled much and was well-known
wherever he went by hotel
men and others as a ',prover-
bal kicker Nothing was
ever good enough or bad
enough, hot enough or cold
enough, rich enough or poor
enough for him. One day he
went to one of the best hotels
in the State and put up for
the night. His fame had
preceded him, and the land
lord gave orders to high and
low to serve him with the
best, and to wait on him with
alacrity. His wishes were all
anticipated that night, and
he went to bed as happy as a
man like him could be with
nothing to growl about. In
the morning extra pains were
taken with his breakfast,
after which the landlord went
and inquired if everything
was all right, adding that he
trusted his breakfast had
been satisfactory.
well, it was fair admit
ted the guest, s'but I like a
breakfast to be hot. This
wasn't hot enough.
Very we'll, sir, responded
the exasperated landlord,
I'VE have done our best for
you. There is, however. only
one place SO hot your break
fast would be sure to please
you. You'd better go there. :
And walked off.

Still Waiting.

Bishop P. F. Stevens, of
South Carolina. was urging
on a young man the other
day the Importance of self
appreciation, says the Boston
Post.
TO think too little of your
SELF" he said lis quite as
harmful as to think too much.
Modesty and humility are all
very well in their way, but
there is great danger, by
OVERRIDING them, of creating a
Uriah Heep impression.
Bishop Stevens laughed
quietly.
Il once knew a young min
ister," he said, who was
extravagantly modest and
humble.
...One Christmas Eve his
congregation called at the
parsonage and presented him
with a plush armchair.
Your eloquence and
goodness, the congregations
Spokesman said. are the in
spiration of this gift.
Tears flooded the eyes Of
the young divine, he was SO
moved.
Il am unworthy OF such
kindness, he said. All / am

But he could proceed no
further. His voice broke.
Don't cry young man,
said a deacon, dryly. Your
Maker has a heap to do for
you yet.

Appropriate Jewelry for MOurners

Appropriate Jewelry for Mourners.
Women in mourning have so long
been denied the wearing of jewelry of
any sort that they will welcome the
new jet novelties which fashion de-
crees as appropriate for them.
Jet buckles for belts and hats, hat
pins OF Jet and pins and chains of Jet
have taken the place of the dull black
beads and other accessories so popu-

Nor are these Jet things to be worn
only by those in mourning, for they

becoming.
