NOT THAT KIND OF TIES.
Youth Unaware of Nature of Job He
Asked Fer.

About 20 years ago, when l was In
Spokane, Wash, a young fellow was
sent there from Boston by his father
for his health, and, incidentally, to
make his fortune, says writer in the
Boston Herald. He worked at his
trade as tailor for his health and
sambled for his fortune. Needless to
say, he lost both, for, at that age, he
being about 10, he was a delicate
youth.
His money and job giving out about
the same time, he looked around for
something to do. CHANGING to pass
an employment Office, he saw on the
blackboard, "Tie-makers wanted, 12H
cents apiece" He walked In, and nd
dressed himself to the man behind the
desk, a big. raw-boned specimen, with
fierce mustache.
II see you want ue-makers, SIR" he
said
Yes, we do, sonny; but don't you
think you are rather too light for the
job?"
"oh, no." replied the young man.

MIRTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Dissolves Gloom and Brings Sunshine,
Says Writer.

Fortunate is the family where the
mother is the first to see joke and
to lead the mirth. In too many homes
her sole share in the merriment is
wan smile, accompanied, perhaps,
by dismal remark that she doesn't
see much to laugh at.
Nothing helps busy housewife
through her press of cares like the
ability to laugh long and heartily.
A humorous rhyme, conundrum, or
a smart repartee cheers up a dull
day wonderfully. especially when it
comes from mother" for it is she
from whom the rest Of the family
are apt to take their cue.
The appetite for fun may be coaxed
to grow with what it feeds on, until
the housewife may transform her
home into an abode of mirth and sun
shine, the envy of dull and grumbling
eholds.-Exchange

WOOD RAT TYPlFlEs MAN.
In His Eagerress to Increase Size CT
His "Pile."

Too many Americans have the
wood rat instinct seys the Mon
treal Star. The wood rat, the animal
Is native of southern Oregon, but
the wood rat typified in man is not
restricted to any small section of a
state or nation, but is wellaigh uni
versal.
The wood rat Is small, no larger
than a common rat, but his ambition
and atquisitiveness are Unsuitable.
His one insane desire seems to be to
increase the size of his pile of sticks.
The neighboring field is placed under
tribute. First all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then, as
these are cleaned up. he gees further
and further away from home and
every twig is eagerly seized upon to
increase the size of his pile Of sticks
The wood rat regards his pile Of
sticks as a refuge in time of trouble.
On the first sound of alarm he rushes
to the pile and crawls underneath. It
is here that he often finds his de-
struction, for a summer fire some
times sweeps through the woods, and
the wood rats pile cf sticks make a
veritable furnace, The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means of his own agony.
