THE WIDOW SPOILED IT.
Pensioner of Marshall Field Who
Was Persuaded 10 Ask
for Raise.


Among the charities of the late
Marshall Field was pension list OF
persons TO whom stated sum was
sent regularly each month, With
these he was generous, but he dis
liked being imposed upon. One man,
who had in some way impressed Mr.,
Field with his deserts, had a check
each 80 days for SIS, relates Youths
Companion.
He had gone far from Mr.. Fields
memory, but remained on the list.
His pension made him quite AN ELI
gible party" in the circle in which he
lived, and at last he yielded TO the
Establishments OF his landlady, an
elderly. prosperous widow, and mar
ried her,
"Now, Henry" she said TO him next
day. well just be having your pay
raised. You can't keep two as easily
as you can one Mr.. Field is a rich
man. and he viii understand that.
You 20 down and tell him you need
$50 a month now"
Away went Henry, and after much
argument and persuasion obtained ac-
cess to the inner Office OF the great
merchant, where he stated his case
Mr.. Field became interested at once.
"a widow, eh?" he inquired, smil'
ing. Did she ask you-or you herr
We'll, sir" stammered Henry, Il
guess she did lead up to IT,"
How old is she?"
about 40, sir"
did she support herself?"
Eyes. sir. She has a big boarding
house boarded with her. | do yet,
in fact"
"Ah, yes" said Mr.. Field, 80 you
want raise, do you? Let me see
how much was your pension? Tween.
ty-fve dollars? Well. you won't have
10 pay any board now, so suppose we
make ii $3.50? That will keep you In
spending money"

The lecturer gasped.

TONER, did the gentleman affect any
jewelry, and If so, were his shirt studs
pearls or roman gold?"
Then a fourth man arose.
Were his patent feathers laced or

The fourth man was thrust aside by
the fifth.
Were his cuffs round-cornered, and
did he wear a crush hat?" he bel
lowed.
"And spats screeched the sixth
man.
And in the confusion which followed
this last query the lecturer took his

CRUELTY TO HORSES
Prefecture of the Ottoman Capital
Will Take Steps to Re-
strain 1t.

A laudable decision has been arrived
at by the prefecture OF the Ottoman
capital. with the view Of protecting
horses from misuse and ill-treatment,
says the Constantinople correspondent
of the London Lancet. The Turks are,
on the whole, very kind to animals,
and shield them from injury by every
possible means. At almost every Turk
ish house in Stamboul there is to be
found a small receptacle where water
is poured in every day for the use OF
the innumerable street dogs. A Mus
suman, building his dwelling place,
rarely forgets to attach some contriv-
ance for sheltering birds, pigeons. spar
rows, etc.
am assured that a cabman who
overruns a dog. heedlessly enjoying
its dolce far niente in the middle of
the street, has to pay fine Of several
piastres, while the sultan is believed
to spend a large sum on the feeding
of the numerous canine scavengers
around his kiosks and palaces. There
are, however, a good many employers
of horse labor who use their animals
in a cruel or thoughtless manner.
To prevent this the employment Of
senile, debilitated or diseased horses
has been forbidden. Municipal agents
will have difficulty in Constantinople
in insuring that the measure is strict
ly adhered to-that the load never ex-
ceeds the amount proportionate to the
horses strength. and so on-but, any.
how, the spirit which has influenced
the new enactment is laudable.

Got What He Asked For.

Among the best of the stories told by
Russell, one Of the Scotsman's former
editors, was an instance of the innate
cleverness of the newspaper boy. Rus
sci had entered a train at Princes
street station Edinburgh, one Friday,
when a smart little newsboy immedi-
ately called out to him, scotsman,
sir?'' How much?" said Russell jok-
ingly. "A penny, Sir" replied the boy.
"Oh," said the editor. Il don't want
today's Scotsman, but if you could give
me tomorrows would give you SOW
ereign for it, Here you are, sir" de-
lightedly shouted the youngster and
handed him the Weekly Scotsman,
which bore the date of the following
day. Russell paid the sovereign-Lon-

Call on a Lynn Bank for Beer.

A business institution like a bank
sees little of the humorous side OF
life, although now and then some
thing happens to vary the routine.
The employees of a certain national
bank in Lynn, Mass, noted for the
elegance of it's furnishings, such as
desks, marble floors. etc., were in the
midst of their daily labors when an
individual rather the worse for wear
and liquids entered, leaned against
and rolled along the shelf reaching
the whole length of the bank to the
teller's window, where he deposited a
nickel and stood rather unsteadilv
When asked what he wanted. he said:
Glass (hic) Of beer" When Informed
it was a bank desk he was leaning
against and not a saloon bar, he hast
lily murmured an apology and sham
bled out.
