Teddy's First Pockets.

''I want pockets in my new pants," said Teddy.
 You are too little," said mamma.
 "Please, mammal Teddy pleaded Pockets go with pants. All the big boys have them"
 We'll" mamma replied, 'I suppose you must have them. Yes, I will put some in."
 "Nonsense. exclaimed Aunt Emily. Clara, you don't mean to let that baby have pockets? He will have them full of rubbish and in a dreadful con- dltion all the time. He's too little for trousers. to say nothing of pockets"
 But mamma put the pockets in, and Ted WAS happy. He went round with his hands in those little snuggeries, feeling very proud and grown-up, and trying to whistle and by and by he began to put things into them.
 If had the darning cotton I would mend the stockings" said grandma, but 1t isn't in the basket"

  "I found 1t behind the door, grandma. I didn't know 1t was darn-cotton; thought it was just string"
 You didn't happen to find my pen ell, did you?" asked Sister Sue. II lost 1t yesterday, and I can't find 1t any where"
 Yes" said Teddy. Tt was in the waste basket. I picked 1t out and put it in my pocket. didn't know it was yours, Susie," he said as he passed it to her.
 Pretty soon mamma could not find her thimble. q had 1t this morning." she said, "and all at once missed 1t. am sorry, for 1t was the one you gave me, Emily"
 Here 1t is," said Teddy. II found 1t down in the pansy bed. l meant to give 1t to you, but I forgot"
 Tt must have fallen off the window sill," said mamma. "I remember now; 1 was sitting by the garden window"
 That afternoon sister Mary asked if anybody had seen button, for she had lost one off her blue dress; Tom inquired if anybody had run across his jack knife, which he was using at noon and mislaid Johnny needed a piece of string in hurry; and grandpa could not find little nail. All these things Teddy produced as they were wanted.
 'I take 1t all back, Ted" said aunt Emily, laughing. Your pockets cer- tainly are the most useful ones in the family. You don't happen to have a box of chocolates, do you"
 "No," Teddy replied, soberly, but I have some candy that isn't chocolate. MT. Smith gave it to me. It's taffy"
 Aunt Emily laughed again. There, Clara" she said, "I told you so"'- Youths Companion.

When l Grow Up,

Our grocer's clerk comes every day, Though why he should cannot say, For mother mostly orders beans, And soap and mustard, salt and greens, And tea and starch, and lard and rice Not much of anything that's nice. Such food for some folks may seem best, But scarce excites my interest. When l grow up, my grocer's clerk Will very seldom need to work; The butchers boy I'll ask to call Just once h spring and once in fall. I'll have the candy boy call twice Each day, and sometimes even thrice! Mornings 1t will be best, judge, To order caramels and fudge; At night, box of chocolate creams, To make me sure of pleasant dreams! I mean to have the toy-shop man Stop just as often as he can. New toys grow tiresome soon, you know {; And then, ones friends do break them
 SO.
 Heigh-ho. what bliss will fill my cup When I grow up! When grow upl Youths Companion.

JACK OF ALL TRADES,
That Is What Most Women Who Work
 for a Living Really Are,


 Why the woman who works for a living is usually more nervous and in less exuberaU health generally than the man who works, has been a mat ter for much discussion in clubs and newspapers, and without any satisfac- tory verdict having been reached, but there are those who do not find 1t hard to understand the phenomenon.
 The man who works usually does one sort of work. He is a physician, lawyer or clerk, and when he has closed his office door for the day, if he Is a sensible man, he puts in the re- mainder of the time enjoying himself in whatever way best suits him.
 And the woman who works-well she is usually jack of a dozen trades and master of none, according to the Baltimore News.
 When she comes home from her office It occurs to her that there are half dozen pairs of stockings to be darned-and she sets to work forth. with on this nerve-tearing work. When
 
 as likely as not to sew on the lace that the laundress has ripped off a skirt, and she goes to bed with her head ach. Ing and absolutely unrefreshed. In the morning she remembers that there are a dozen little lace collars to be laundered, for they were much too fragile to go in the general laundry, and that afternoon she gives over to the doing up" of these troublesome little things, adding couple of white belts, three pairs of white gloves and veil to the pile.
 When she has finished with these her back Is aching, and she is glad to lie down and read by the light of a distant and dim gas jet the afternoon newspaper, thereby bringing on the ills that come from eye strain. She discovers the next afternoon that her hair needs washing, and she spends good two hours at this hard work She doesn't feel that she can afford the 75 cents or S1 that a halrdresser would charge her for this service, and which the latter can do much better than she can do 1t herself, and so she expends strength. that Is worth much more to her than the money, In half doing this work.
 She manlcures her own nails when she should be taking nap, and makes shirt waists when she should be exer- cising in the open. She makes cara, mels by way of fun, and fusses over them until she herself admits that she is half dead"
 She finds things for herself to do that really couldn't be done, and by the end of the summer she is a limp and nerve-racked rag.
 But have to keep nice," she walls, and I cannot afford to hire some one to do my mending and to groom my hair and nails.'
 It is. indeed, problem how the business women shall manage; but, nevertheless, these are some of the reasons why she who works for living Is usually thin and anaemic person, who looks haggard and old before her time.

THE WISE TREASURER.
How He Showed the King that Anyo
 Could Cheat Him.

How He Showed the King that Anyone
 Could Cheat Him.
 There was once a king who was very vain of his sagacity. Nobody can cheat me-" he used to say.
 His old and wise treasurer knew better
 Your officers are cheating you" he would reply.
 Nonsense" said the king. "T am too clever for them"
 He said this so often that at last the old treasurer determined to teach his royal master lesson, and spoke thus to the king:
 Your majesty, will prove to you that no one is too clever to be cheat. ed. Give me even the humblest office and will show you that the man who holds 1t can cheat both you and your people"
 The king thought for a moment. Then he laughed and said: "I will make you the shepherd of my flock of sheep. I would like to see you cheat me, for I know that there are just 400 of them, and I shall expect you to give me an account of the flock to the last one"
 The old treasurer smiled and with drew. The next day he wrote to ev- cry city, village and estate in the king dom saying that he had heard there was good pasturage there and that he proposed to bring the kings sheep to browse there, which was the royal right.
 Immediately the people of each place wrote to the new shepherd and promised him money if he would take the kings sheep somewhere else so that they could keep the pastures for themselves.
 The wise old treasurer took all the letters to the king and said: You can see now that even your shepherd can cheat you and your people if he will"
 So the king was never so vain of his sagacity any more.-Boston Globe

THE GREAT MONEY LENDER.
Russell Sage, Famous Financier, as He
 Really Is To-day.

Really Is To-day.
 Lindsay Denlson writes the follow ing description in Worlds Work of the great lender of money as he appears today:
 The figure of Russell Sage is fading out of the market place. Once 1t was as certain part of the Wall street picture as the flag on the custom house, IS the flying messenger boys, as the swarm of men at the door of the stock exchange, incoming and depart ing. No, 1t was more certain; for Rus sell Sage observed no holidays except Sunday until his body broke down un- der the oyerreaching task set by his cold, grim hunger for innumerable dol lars. But the pale-blue eyes, though they are keener than the eyes of most men at any age, have not the quick and eager light which used to flash into them in response to the news of bar. gain in prospect or achieved. The scanned gray face has lost Its power uf meeting all appeals for generosity or mercy with complete lack of exrres- sion; irritation and contempt show through sometimes; they are signs of the breaking down of the sternest phy- sical discipline-for no real master of the game. whether 1t be played with pennies between newsboys on the curb stone, or with banks and railroads in the markets, willingly allows his face to register any human emotion. His garments hang about him in homely lines, which have not changed in the memory of any man. His appearance, his ways, his sdnginess, his great wealth, have become part of the tra. ditions of his country.

washington's Horses,

General Washington was splendid horseman. There was no animal he could not master, and he never lost his seat in the saddle. Fox hunting was one of his favorite amusenents, ana at the meet few of his friends or neighbors were better mounted than he. He usually rode large, fiery animal of great endurance, called Blue skin. The names of some of his other horses were Chinkling, Valiant Ajax and Magnolia.

MUSIC CRITIC AT FIGHT.
Result of shorthandedness on the Stan
 Called for "Duet."

Called for "Duet."
 Owing to a severe condition of short handedness on the staff, the music ed itor was sent to cover a prize fight, with the following result, says the De- troit Free Press:
 An entertainment Of unusual novelty attra cted a large ma asculine audience at the armory last night. The chief num- Der on the program consisted of duet between two well known artists and the work was divided into ten short movements. Both of the chief artists of the evening were becomingly attired in a novel and striking costume, con- sisting of something like abbreviated bathing suits, shoes and heavy stock ings. The first movement started about andantino, but went sempre acceleran- do to a motto yivace at the end. There was some rapid staccato work on the part of each performer throughout the movement and when large gong rang at the end of short interval, both walked to a corner of the roped-in plat form. At the beginning there was a strong tendency to pianissimo work and the soft pedal was used with much effect on both sides.
 Shortly before the end of this move ment one of the artists was carried away with excitement and struck the other, sforzando, con due pedale molto piu vivace. The compliment was returned, con amore, and both subsid- ed again as the gong rang.
 At the opening of the third move ment the original theme was resumed and was treated with great freedom throughout. The straight-arm motif was introduced, molto piacevole, and the rendition became so fast and furi- ous as to hinder accurate observation. The composition suddenly assumed the characteristics of the unfinished sym phony, one performer being overcome by his emotion and failing to continue The applause was furious for the other artist, who was made the recipient of the most frenzied demonstrations from the audience The composer of the un- finished composition Is reported to have been the late Marquis of Queensberry, little known as a musical writer.
