faded who imagine life SCARCELY worth
the while, The function through which
he created an oasis Of gladness and
put some of his money into circula-
ton was birthday party to his wife's
doggy. There were seven canine pets
present and they were attended by five
liveried buffers. The mistresses of the
doggies were there too, and after the
dinner they, with Mr.. Lehr, romped
with the pets until all were tired out.
The dinner to the doggies and dog
gesses was served in courses and was
supplemented by birthday cake.
There is but one Harry Lehr. No 9th
er example Of splendid endeavor and
unmistakable genius approaches him.
He has money and puts it to the noble
use of making fool Of himself and
his associates. Seven dogs attended by
FIVE buffers, and the function presided
over by a near relative dressed in a
mans clothes. What spectacle!

Hotel Guest Was Ho1d-Up MAN. O"'
Was Fooled.
"The queerest thing that ever nap
nened to me-" said the hotel clerk 70 a
Boston Budget writer, "came on when
7 was on the night desk OF smaii
hotel in a Connecticut town. Ii was
q second-rate establishment, frequent
ed mostly by drunmers, and the sltua-
ton was rather lonely at night. Inere
were stores all about, and they cFeseo
early. SO that after 10 o'clock ours was
the only place on the block open. for
that reason I kept a revolver In the
money drawer. One night about ll:oU
o'clock a pleasant-spoken, Well-dresseo
Young fellow came in and asked for a
room. We talked for few minutes
then 1 told him as tactfully as l coulo
that as he didn't have any baggage
he would have to pay in advance. "All
right he said. Take it out of that.
HE handed me $40 bill. | pulled
out the money drawer to change 1t.
There was my revolver in plain sight,
and another one with it. The second
gun had been left in his room by de-
parting guest, and I'd tucked it Into
the drawer with mine for want OF
better place to put it
"'What do you want with two re-
yolversY asked the stranger. Oh SAID
I, joshing, suppose some one should
come in and find me with the till out
and get one gun and start to hold me
up. I'd have another handy
"'My God! What's that?' yelled the
stranger, and pointed to the window.
It's an old trick, but it caught me. l
looked. When I looked back there
was the stranger standing with the ex-
ira revolver, which he'd reached over
and got out Of the till. Suppose said
he. that should grab a revolver while
you weren't looking and cover you-as
I'm doing now-and tell you to hand
over the till, and that If you made a
move to get your gun I'll scatter your
brains all over the place-where would
your extra revolver be then? Hey?
"'And suppose said I, t;uthfully,
'CudL l. UOlu YOU Tie gun NOu fiA0 AOAA
ing on ME hasn't been loaded for a
month and has a broken firing pin.
And while that was being telegraphed
through his brain I snatched my own
gun and covered him.
"It would show quick wit on your
part he said, and he laid down the
unloaded revolver. And now, II you
will give me my change, | guess I'll
quit the game Of suppose, and go to
bed
"'Well, I'll leave 1T to you II that
wasn't enough to publican man. Had
he tried to hold me up, or was it just a
fool game Of his? Somehow couldn't
just make up my mind. So l gave him
his change and let him 60 to his room,
and I figured on it all night without
getting any nearer a conclusion. But
next morning things happened which
cleared the matter up. About II o'clock
the chambermaid reported that she
couldn't get any answer from the room
to which 1 had assigned the stranger.

the birth stone" for October, and an
appropriate gift for persons born in
this month, seems to be getting the
better of the superstition that opals
are 'unlucky." Sir Walter Scott popu-
larized the notion by introducing it to
help out plot, and credulous persons
have based upon 1t more and more
dreadful tales than ever novelists In
vented. But the world grows wiser.
Nowadays, when her opal grows dull,
my lady does not languish in expec-
tation of i'll fortune; she takes it to the
toweler to be repolished.

1t is admitted and deplored by prom
tnent c!ergymeu that religion has lost
much of its effect as an active force
in society during recent years in Eu-
rope and America. Who or what is
responsible for this apparent decline
of popularity of religion? Is 1t the
clergy or the laity?-or does the fault
and weakness lie in some principle of
Christianity, itself? There is a spirit
of broad charity on all sides among
Christian people. Sect tolerates sect,
while Christian nations bear with the
beliefs of pagan nations. This loosen
ing of the lines may or may not &C
count for the seeming weakness of
churches now as compared with the
past. but it affords no sufficient explain
alton of the waning OF the religious
spirit.

There died recently in Chicago a
successful merchant, who in the long
course of busy life never forgot that
he had ben a boy. I'm the whole
world" he often said, there is no one
else equal to fine, strong, clean
young man-except fine, strong,
clean young woman" He not only be-
neved that, but he acted on his belief
So it happened that no business was
ever so pressing that he had not time,
when he found a youth Of the kind
described, to seek employment for him
in his own Office or with some ac-
quaintance. Business is little slack
just now" the acquaintance would
sometimes say. I'm afraid I cannot
find room for another man-one who
has no experience" Don't tell me you
are going to let this opportunity go
by" the other would interrupt. why,
you can't afford to-. Room for him?
Who asked you to make room for
himY Give him a chance. He'll make
his own room. Here's a young man
do you realize what that means? One
of the noblest creatures In the world
Not only a man like you and me, but
young, with all the world before him.
He offers to give you his whole power,
to come into your business and use
his God-given intelligence i'll mastering
and improving it. You arc asked to
accept favor-and If you don't some
more enterprising rival will. Take MIN
while you can get him; you may not
have another chance" Boys who de-
serve such introductions are not SO
rare as is sometimes thought. This
man had a faculty for finding them
and for bringing out by stimulating
words the very best in them. And he
brought home to many employers be-
sides himself the fact that boy seek
ing work, if he be the right kind of a
boy, is offering in his manly ambition
something for which the money paid
is in no sense q return.

A foolish story starts, and people be-
lieye it, while a fact Of the greatest
importance receives no attention from
the people. Millions of people believe
that every big circus, when it visits a
small town, divides, sending the other
half to some other small town. There
never was such thing known as a
circus dividing. 1t is a foolish, impos-
sible tale, yet millions of people be-
neye 1t, without the slightest evidence.
Look over your beliefs; you may have
a lot of fool ones In your collection.
