Debtor by No Means Displeased at
Creditors lnportunitv

About a year ago junior member
OF a prominent firm of lawyers made
a departure from his usual line and
undertook to collect debt due a
downtown publisher The amount in
dispute was $4,000. 1t had been hang
ing fire for a long while, and there
seemed very little chance for ever col
lecting it.
I've tried every way can think
Of said the publisher Maybe you
can scare the fellow into paying up.
If you can. I'll give you half you col
lect."
The lawyer took the case and finally
collected the money. Then came
tussle with the publisher, who failed
to live up to his end of the agreement.
He paid half of the one thousand dol
lar fee, as promised, but withheld the
remaining $500. For the first two
months the lawyers efforts toward
settlement were conducted In a digni-
fled manner. Conservative methods
proving unavailing, he resorted to
system OF petty annoyance. Day after
day his errand boy was despatched to
the publishers Office with written or
verbal request to settle the account.
For four months this persecution con-
tinued, but at last there came a day
when in the rush of business the law.

Quents memory. Late in the after
noon he was reminded OF the cessation
of hostilities in an unexpected manner.
Into his private Office. where he was
engaged in a serious consultation,
there penetrated red-headed, wide
eyed boy.

"sINe A SONG OF sIxPENcE."
Popular Rhyme That Has Its Origin
in Folklore

The Rev. John Howard, Liverpool
minister. recently explained the Song
of Sixpence" to his parishioners, and
gave an interesting exposition Of folk
lore, as follows: Perhaps many who
often repeat Sing Song of Sixpence'
have never heard this explanation of
it's meaning: The four-and-twenty
blackbirds represent the four-and-
twenty hours. The bottom Of the pie
is the world. while the top crust is the
sky which overreached it. The open
ing of the pie is the day dawn, when
the birds begin to sing, and surely
such sight is fit for a king. The
king. who is represented as sitting in
his parlor counting his money, Is the
sun, while the gold pieces which slip
through his fingers as he counts them
are the golden sunshine. The queen
is the moon and the honey with which
she regales herself is the moonlight
The Industrious maid who is in the
garden at work before the sun has
risen is the day dawn, and the clothes
she hangs out are the clouds. while
the bird who SO tragically ends the
song by 'nipping of her nose is The
bour Of sunset."-Boston Transcript.

There he sat, picture of wretch

LAS bad luck would have 1t, the
stove soon proved too much for the
tramp. 1t made him Ill. This illness
outraged the preacher.
Put him OUT he shouted. 'Dea-

THE tramp did not wait to be put
out. He rose at once and staggered
to the door. In the doorway he paus

A Perplexing Problem.

OneSf the most perplexing problems
with which the order-loying mother
has to contend is to decide where to
put the children's toys. If placed in
the nursery closet they keep the floor
in an unsightly litter, and the dust
gathers quickly under them.
One of the most convenient devices Is
q box couch seven feet in length, three
feet wide and three feet deep. To this
is a hinged top. The box is covered
with deep red brocade, and on the lid
is fitted and securely fastened n hair
mattress, also covered with brocade.
kto this thoroughly ornamental piece
of furniture the toys may be stored
every night, it being the children
duty to pick off everything from the
floor and put it away in a neat and
orderly manner.
They become accustomed to this tash
and perform it with perfect cheerful'
ness and with a delightfully."- pleasant
conviction that they are helping
mamma. BY the time their early sup
per is brought to the nursery not toy
is TO be discovered on the floor ana inc
box couch is closed.
Upon this same couch are a number
of pillows of bright cretonnes ano
Genims and folded afghan, and here
the mother often takes a pussy nal
after tucking in the babies.

Disregard of Shoes.

Are women neater than men? was a
question recently asked by 4 cynical
masculine who is stern critic as TO
all that regards woman's Setup. Ihis
was the reply: women are endowed
with strange vagaries. and while ex-
tremely fastidiouS in many ways, are
neglectful in others.
Even the SWEETEST society girl Is no'
as particular as to the freshness OF her
collar and cuffs as the plain, everyday
man of business: to change his linen at
Inst once a day is sort OF religion
with most men. With women 1t Is dlt-
ferent; they will inspect their collars
and cuffs after hard days wear and
decide that they will do, not recogniz'
ing the fact that if any doubt exists on
the matter they should be consigned to
the laundry without demur.
again, man is much more con-
cerned as to the state Of his shoes than
q woman. The woman will gown her
self in Worth's or Paquin's latest crea-
ton and forget to look at her shoes; she
is willing to condone the loss of one or
two buttons and the consequent baggs
appearance of her extremities. In
