A Misplaced Y
lnfdtudti0n
BY WILL REED DUNROY.

7 Owe is very strange thing,
l. whether it be in novels or just
here in plain, prosaic Chicago. There
is no telling how it is going to affect
those who catch the disease, if it is
a disease, as some scientists affirm,
and the antics it makes people do are
legion.
To some love comes like q sudden
burst of sunlight, and after that the
world becomes perfect heaven or a
perfect place of torment, according as
to how the one loved treats the one
loving. Some learn to love gradually
and there are those who say this is
the Jest plan, as love thus developed
lasts the longer. Be that as it may,
the story following is one that deals
with the sudden sunburst love and
the attendant melodramatic conse-
Quences.
Walter Graham is tn. hero of the
tale, and in this case he happens to
be youHg clerk with salary which
is barely adequate for his own neces-
stiles and the few designations in
which he INDUCES. Once in awhile he
takes trip across the lake of Sun
day, and it was on one of these trips
that he fell in love.
She was on the boat. The rude
wind tossed her hat from her pretty
brown head and with a little scream

Hotel Etiquette.

When a woman bows to man who
is seated at table in a cafe or hotel
dintng-room, he should rise slightly
from his seat as he makes the acknowl-
edgment. If the woman with her es-
cort should stop to speak to some of
her friends who make up the party
with, whom he is dining he should rise
and remain standing until she passes
on. When a man is introduced to an
other man they should rise and shake
hands as they acknowledge the intro
duction. A man should always raise
his hat as he opens the door for a
woman in a public place, even IL she
is an entire stranger. Men should also
remove their hats in the presence of
ladies when going up and down in the
elevators in public buildings. "A defer
entail and courteous manner always
shows good breeding, and one cannot
be too particular in small matters, as
a mans breeding is revealed by hts
department and conversation quite az
much as by his appearance. =

train, and hid himself away back In a
dim corner, where he nursed his dis
appointment and chagrin.
Now and again he could hear the
laughter of the merry crowd in the
other end Of the car, and it cut him to
the quick to find that the one he wor-
SHIPPED was the merrfest of them all.
He could not hear what they were say
ing, and it was we'll for his peace of
mind that he could not, for most of
the merriment had him for it's butt.
''How did Graham happen to fall
overboard?" asked member of the
party.
"He tripped over my foot" giggled
Violet.
my, but didn't his flannel suit
shrink, though" exclaimed the girl.
1T was fortunate accident, though,
wasn't it," queried Violet, with a
roguish twinkle in her eye.
Il do remember now that you told
the girl you would see her out of
her difficulty" remarked Violet's
young man. And I'm not so sure but
that accident was well planned"
well, I told her I'd help her out,
and it seems that I helped him out,
too," said Violet. -;
And Graham does not know till this
day how much mischief there was in
that accident.-Chicago Chronicle.

as honorable to be good loser n the
game, when loss is inevitable, as to-
be a winner. The main thing anyway.
In this world is to play the game
ta1rly, in accordance with the rules,
without meanness, or i'll temper, or
self-seeking. - tx
TO live covering over the hearth,
when there is manful work to be
done outside in the world, is to live
lgnobly. Perhaps there must be q per.
centage of loss set over against every
gain. Certainly nothing worth hav
ing is ever acquired without some
sacrifice. Courage, fortitude, endur.

10 let his daughters learn to row, lest
1t should spoil the suppleness of their
p1ano-hand. A man who valued grace
and symmetry stood squarely in the
path OF his sons through their child
mood, lest they should get broken fin
gers, or enlarged thumb-joir from
playing ball. For the reason that they
might stumble on the ice, they were
not permitted to learn to skate. In
consequence. though they were schol-
arly enough, they arrived at adoles-
cence inferior in size, strength and
fearlessness to others who had

could for the drawback of a too<ten-
derby nurtured juvenile career.
Athletics are here to stay We owe
it to our juniors to give them gym
nastic training, in reason, just as we
owe them the alphabet and all that
follows after A, B, C.
Our own children are not the only
ones to whom we owe the physical
training that comes from athletic
sport. The understood, ill-fed, pallid
children of the tenement, those to
whom Fortune has been a step-dame
and whom Nature has lowered stingi-
ly, look to us for q chance to improve
their condition. No more gratifying
sign of the times appears than in the
social altruism which leads a College
team to play against a neighborhood
settlement team which brings the fell
lows who were born to the golden
spoon to meet as friends the fellows
who were born to no spoon at all.
The most gratifying phase of recent
athletics is seen in the development
of manly brotherhood which makes
no account of rich or poor, but well
comes all good comrades to play the
game.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacal
in the way coffee sometimes wreaks it's
fendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says
my husband and I, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness, &C.
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort Of af-
lection Of the nerves leafing from the
spine to'fhe head.
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves drew
it to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine, and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble. till a friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with It,
and advised that we quit It and try

We have never resumed the use OF

Women and Eyeglasses.

1t is curious to observe that even
the greatest realists do not venture to
bestow eyeglasses on their heroines
1t is rather odd. too. seeing how many
charming women do in real life wear
them, and are not debarred by them
from the most dramatic careers and
the most poignant emotions. But
while the modern. novelist has be-
slowed eyeglasses ON everybody else,
he has not yet had the hardihood to
put them on the nose of his heroine.

Hume, the historian, found himself
one day, at social dinner, next to Lord

ber," was Hume's answer, "And what

The people gathered at the. train
with their parcels, handbags, suit
cases and other luggage, and the chap
erons were also on deck, lynx-eyed and
on the alert.
The girl was radiant in pretty
white gown, but she wore a worried
look.
What on earth am I going to do
with Graham?" she whispered to her
friend Violet.
Leave the matter to me-" replied
the friend. Il will help you out.
have been mixed up in just that kind
of trouble many times, end am sure
can assist you."
Thus assured, the girl plucked up
courage and her face grew as bright
as the day. In due season they ar.
rived at the lake and the first thing Vio-
let suggested was a sail on the blue ex-
panse of water.
Graham was enthusiastic, and he con.
trived to get a boat in which Violet and
her young man should accompany the
girl and himself This left the girls
young man on shore, and he sc0wled
and fumed right heartily until Violet
got an opportunity to whisper some
thing in his ear, and then he smiled,
also.
AS the boat pulled out from the shore
the young man was left chuckling to HIM
self, and seemed thoroughly resigned to
the fate of remaining on shore.
The little boat plowed through the
blue waters of the lake, and all went we'll
until the girls decided they wished to
change places in the boat 1t was Vio-
let who suggested it, and an attempt was
made to make the change, when Ora
ham, in some unaccountable manner,
was tipped into the water.
The girls screamed, and tried to save
him, but over he went, flannel suit and
all, and when he came up he clutched
at the side of the boat and hung thre
like limp, white rag.
After deal of excitement and trou-
BILE, he was nauled aboard the boat,
and the little party returned.
There was much excitement when
young Graham vas landed at the little
boat pier like a drowned rat, and, of
course, he had to hurry to the cot
tage, for he was as wet as could be.
Everybody seemed to feed badly
about the accident, but there was moth,
ing for Graham to do Out hide from
sight. His flannel suit was ruined,
and he had no other clothes With him.
The girl, of course, had to fall back
on her own young man as an escort,
and Violet and her young man soon
Joined the girl, and everything was as
lovely as could be.
Graham remained in the cottage all
day long. After his flannel suit had
been dried in the sun he found that it
had shrunk so he could not possibly
be seen in it, for the trousers came
nearly to his knees, and the coat
sleeves stopped short at the elbows.
Poor Graham was compelled to re-
main indoors all day, while the other
members of the party had a great
good time. Finally, when night came
on and it drew near train time the
poor, unfortunate young man, under
cover of the darkness, sought The

Yet, the question has two aspects.
Nobody wants his boy to be mum,
a coward, a Miss Betty. Every father
and every mother must prefer to have
sons WHO can hold their own, come
what may. The value of athletic sport
is in the training which gives cool
ness in the presence of danger, ac-
curacy= of aim, quickness of action.
On the football field man learns to
obey; he learns the invaluable lesson
to accept defeat without outcrY. Il is

had to cross a switch at White Ash.
The engine and one car passed over the

ran in on the switch. Two of the boys
who work here were standing on the

and cut him in two carrying one half OF
him fifty feet from the other. The cars
