he WAS TOO SUSPICIOUS.
Office Boy Thought the Boss Should
Have Reposed More Conf
dence in Him.

Tommy had just obtained his first
position as Office boy. His salary wal
not large, but his hopes were. He
expected to learn the business, and

that he might do great things. A
friend Of his met him about a week
after he had entered upon his new

"How do you like the job?" inquired
his friend.

Is the work hard?"
No, the woik amt SO hard and
the hours amt so long, but-say, the
measly old cuss woik for makes me

of his measly old money"
He does. eh?"

the boss wanted him to get them,
but there was the safe locked, SO what

Watch party of visitors from a
Mississippi valley state, people who
have never seen the sea, as they wan
der through the passages of the battle
ship model or squint along rapid-fire
gun on deck, across an imaginary
ocean. The shine in their eyes betrays
a mixture of excited interest and pa
triotic pride Far though the coast
may be from their homes, it is yet
their coast that such battleships guard,
and the battleships are theirs. And
it is a semi-proprietary satisfaction
that affords good part of the pleas
ure that any American evinces in gaz-
ing at the processes or results of the
many government activities he sees ex-
plotted here. A visitor will observe a
hundred interesting novelties; he will
leave the building-only to 60 back

be compared to trip to this exposi-
ton. Here is shown the best Of all
countries. and to see all that is shown
here is to see the best from the coun-

"As for our country, what could be
more instructive than the exhibits in
our government building? After seeing

Doctorina in ireland.

4 physician in the out Of-the-way
corners of Ireland has many oppor-
tunities to laugh. though his amuse-
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith In the
doctor, a superstitious faith In his
drugs and appliances. but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr..
Michael MacDonagh, in his Irish Life
and Character" gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for sick laborer. which h.
sent by the mans wife in small
box, bearing the direction: The
whole to be taken Immediately"
On visiting the patient little later.
che doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had not helped him. He
asked the mans wife II she had given
him the medicine.

KEEPING THE HOUSE COOL.
Which May Prove Of
Value to the Young House
keeper.

The first thing In the morning open
every door and window. Let the
fresh morning air circulate through
every part of the house. Even q lit
tie early sunshine will not be bad
thing in the rooms, says Medical Talk
for the Home.
About eight or nine o'clock, OF
earlier than this IL it is an excessive
ly hot morning, close the windows and
doors on the east and south sides OF
the house, where the sun shines. II
the house has outside shutters these
should be closed, the inside blinds
drawn. and If there are awnings they
should be lowered. This will keep out
great deal of heat.
In the forenoon while the east and
south windows are closed the north
and west doors and windows should be
left open. This will furnish a circula-
ton Of air through the house. and
keep the atmosphere Of the rooms
from becoming dead and heavy, as it
does when all the windows and doors
are closed.
In the afternoon, when the sun APP
proaches the west side of the house.
then the windows and doors on that
side should be closed the same as
the east and south windows in the
forenoon. BY this time the sun has
left the east and south windows and
they can be opened while the west
side of the house is closed. The north
windows and doors can be left open
all day, as the sun will shine in from
that side but very little.
In this way there is a free circula-
ton of air in the house all day while
the heat of the sun is shut out. The
house will be kept cool and the air
will not have that clammy, unpleas-
ant feeling that it has when all the
windows and doors are kept closed
AS a rule, the housewife closes all
the windows and doors early in the
morning, keeping the house darkened
all day long. 1t is true this will keep
the rooms cool, but there is an UNI
Wholesomeness about such q house. |
Coming in from the outdoor air, no
matter how hot it may be, closed, |
darkened room, while it will be very
cool in comparison to the outside at
yet the air in such room
Will in contrast to the outside air be |
dead and sitting, nothin1 refreshing |
about it. It very nearly resembles
the atmosphere Of cellar and is
very unwholesome.
We have often heard women COM
plain that they could not keep the
house cool on account of the men
ok, who always insisted ON throw
ng wide open the windows and doors
as soon as they came into the house.
70 them the house seems nice and
,ool, but to the man coming in from
he free outdoor air the still, closed
lir In the house seems sitting, even
hough it may be cool, and he is at
'nce prompted to throw open the win
lows to get some fresh air.
No matter how hot the day tina
louse should be SO arranged that there
s free circulation of air. The best
arrangement We know of is to keen
he sunny side of the house closed
While the shaded side is left wide open.
II it is very hot day place large
hunk OF ice in pan in the middle
1 the room and in short time the
emperature will be perceptibly low
red. If the ice cannot be had try
angling wet towels about the room.

it Is we who are doing it all"
Yet another among the thousand Of
exhibits that may be classed as edu-
cational is to be found in every aisle,
in every corner of the Agricultural
building. Here spread out before you
are the products of the earth's harvest
fields. In this one building, big enough
in itself to contain the whole of the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
are the farm products Of every coun-
try. Here are sheaves of grain and
heaps of corn, made opulent with milk
and honey and butter, cotton-seed oil
and cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, and
fruit. There are towers and pagodas
and pictures and panoramas in corn
husks, corn-cobs, corn-tassels and corn
kernels, tobacco-leayes and tobacco
grains. wheat-straw and wheat-heads
and wheat-grains; and there are fig
ures In cotton and butter and sugar
and prunes and nuts. There are dec
OratiOns in Wavy moss and hemp, In
rice-sheaves and prairie grasses. You
for packed into each of the different
sections is an abundant sample of all
that springs from one states SOIL
whether it be hill-farm potatoes,
swamp rice, sea-island cotton, bottom
land corn, prairie wheat, desert dates
or irrigated alfalfa. And in the same
way you. know the agricultural wealth
of each Of the worlds nations, for they
are spread out before you for your in

hold the flowers erect, and thus make
one do the work of three. The crown
flower holders comprise four leaden de-
vices which may be used separately or in
combination. They bend easily, and are
adaptable to vases of any shape. An
other arrangement is to have solid
block of lead, about two inches high,
bored with holes of different diameters.
A few stalks, thus firmly held in place,
will act as support to many others.
The only disadvantages of these leaden
devices is that they are not beautiful
enough to be used in clear glass vases

EFFECTS OF EVIL TEMPER.
The Man or Woman Who Is Swayed
by Passion Is Bound to Be
Loser Always.

One of the most desirable things in
life is for every person to learn to
control his temper. There is seldom
anything to gain, but rather everything
to lose, when one permits himself to
be swayed by passion under any cir
cumstance. It is thus that friends are
lost, enemies made, bad situations ag-
gravated, endless misery created and,
occasionally, the direct tragedies en-
acted. Of course there are times when
one may derive for the moment Ger
tain enjoyment in license of expressing
exactly what he feels, but most surely
must 1t be followed by reaction OF
regret. Indeed, il serious person. the
probability is that on becoming calm
again, after the At has passed away,
he will be ashamed of his foolish con-
duct and the disgraceful exhibition he
made of himself; he will realize, down
in his heart, that not right away, II
ever again, can he occupy as strong a
position, socially, as before the out
burst In truth, having behaved like
a fretful, peevish child, he has to GER
