Men Are Queer.

Men are queer. says an exchange
Wouldn't there be a roar when they
went home to their meals If they had
to climb upon a high stool in front
of table on which there was no cloth
and eat their meals in that fashion?
Yet many men pick out a high stool
and clothless feed board in preference
to a comfortable chair and cloth COW
cred table. A man will borrow a chew
of tobacco and most of them will get
their teeth into the plug right over
where some other man has gnawed
out a chew. Offer him a piece of pie
at home from which his wife or one
of the children has bitten out a piece
and he will boiler his head on. Al
home he will not drink out of a cup
or glass from which one OF the other
members Of the family have been
drinkign but call him into the back
stall Of a livery stable. pull out bot
tie and he will stick the neck OF the
bottle half way down his throat to
get a swig after a half dozen other
fellows have had the bottle to their
mouths. Man IL a queer duck.

How q Man Failed.

He took life too seriously.
He saved his money, but starved his
mind.
He thought he could not be happy
without wealth.
He did not develop his manhood at
the same time as his business.
He murdered his capacity for BUSH,
ness in getting ready for 1t.
He sacrificed the friends Of his youth
and had no time to make new ones.
He never learned the art of extract
ing enjoyment from common things.
He had developed a colossal power
for receiving. but had never learned
to give.
He was a victim of habit and rou-
tine; he never could rise above his
vocation.-The National Banker. Chi

We girls were breathless, as we
never even suspected that they were
more than acquaintance, but 1t turned
out that the doctor had loved Claire
for ever so long, but she had held him
at distance, so that he never got a
chance to tell of his love. One day the
doctor had been standing at the win
dow, and overheard the girls talking
about the neatness Of Claire's work,
when she was mending a tear in
Louise's gown. He decided to take ad-
vantage Of this knowledge, and took
this way to get chance to offer him
self to Claire-you see, he was pretty
sure who would get the prize. 1t was
very clever of him, think.
