NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT.
Man Has Good Reasons for Looking
at inside of His Hat.

II see here that a woman writer
wonders why a man always looks in
his hat before he puts it on" said the
reflective man as he looked up from
his paper Here is what she says:
When a man puts on his hat he most
always looks inside 1t first. What he
expects to see remains a mystery, but
he looks for It all the same That's
easy. He looks in his hat to see II
the knot holding the inside band to-
gether will be at the back OF his head
when he puts 1t on. Now IL she'll tell
me why a woman always pulls down
her veil and purses up her mouth be-
fore she steps out of doors, We'll call
it square.
Funny, the things you read in the
Sunday papers. see here that an
other Chicago professor got up on his
hind legs to declare that there should
be schools of love, and the young
should be educated in love- Slush!
Schools of love aren't necessary. The
young OF the softer sex inherit suffi-
GENTLY large stock of knowledge on
this subject from their mothers, and
what they can't teach the young
men 1t isn't necessary for them to
know"

And what did you see?" asked the

What did 1 see? Why, nothing in

tramp who was looking for a hand
out. He was what that Boston gal
had called an fmpecune.'

A DOCTORS TRIALS.
He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other

Even doing good to people is hard

Those Courteous pons.

Il read in a southern newspaper
about the passengers who hail from
Georgia" remarked a traveller. per
sonally, l have never met the simon
pure Georgian, but I know a set of
men that can beat even them for po-
likeness. They are the high-class
Spaniards who are accustomed to
travelling.
Just watch a man of that type and
you will find he invariably bows to
the rest of the passengers upon enter
ing and leaving a car. Such extreme
courtesy impresses the rushing, push
ing American crowd as a sure pass
port to an insane asylum. The Span
lard, for his part. is convinced that
the noise and hustle will land the
American contingeat in the same
place. and In spite OF ridicule he
perseveres In his habit Of bowing."-

the cook. who couldn't read. She
forgot to send it, and the next day tie
drummer came home OF his own &C
cord.
"He stayed day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing. as 1t hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation OF horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the Office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got 1t that night he was terrified.
What he read was this: :

A Modern
Cinderella
BY CIon e. Hard
ccopyrrght, by Joseph n. Dowles.)

The annual ball given by the Ger
man Casino OF Havana was the event
or the season. Expectation was in
every eye, hopes and disappointments
filed hearts young and old with JOY
and grief. while jealousy and envy,
twin sisters that hunt in pairs, stirred
the evil passions of many who
looked forward to the brilliant festi-
val.
In spite of the intrigues of the
slightly overblown elderly beauties,
and the soft Establishments of the In
genuous younger ones, the fair Eng
lish girl, Angelica Preston, had re-
ceived the invitation promised, and
was radiantly happy. She had looked
forward to this ball as the elimination
of her hopes, sure to hear from the
lips of Gustav Steinvelt the love his
eyes so eloquently told her whenever
they met.
Her dress was chosen after many a
secret conference with Dolores Aguir-
re, the dear little woman who soothed,
petted, scolded. but always helped the
orphan girl, left by the sudden death
OF both parents to the guardianship OF
Don Manuel Fuentes, a resident OF
this tropical island city, and the pro
prietor of the hotel in which both re
sided.
The rivalry between Angelica and
Margarita, Don Manuel's daughter
was an open secret in the circle in
which both moved, for the young
German was very popular, though he

young orphan-girl excited the ill-will
of Sonora de Fuentes, who resolved
that Margarita should make SUI

sible, to keep the young man at her
side, thus making a public display of
his attentions to herself at the ball.
But If Angelica were there?
Sonora de Fuentes stood for some
time in deep thought, gazing down
into the courtyard, meditating and
planning Suddenly she started down
the enclosed balcony, her face bright,
her eyes sparkling, and entered the
apartments of Sonora d. Alvarez, one
of the guests,
At two o'clock on the day of the ball,
Angelica came like a whirlwind down
the hall, rushed into Dolores room,
then stopped suddenly, while the tears
gathered in the lovely blue eyes that
met the astonished gaze of her friend.
'"Well?" inquired the latter.
Sonora d. Alvarez, who was to
chaperone me, has been suddenly
called out of town. She has just sent
me a note. Somebody is sick. l can
not go to the ball tonight" Angelica
flung herself into the arms of Dolores
and sobbed.

when Angelica became calmer.

Minneapolis, Dec. l5.-Ihe committee
of the Minnesota Educational assOcia
ton appointed to make u study of the
present status of teachers salaries and
living expenses in Minnesota had a ses-
sion last evening in the Vendome hotel,
and today met in the state capitol The
committee consists of c. G. Schultz, *.
w. Buell., H. l.. Merrill, III. c. Hess,
George f. James, c.. NJ. Jordan and G..
T.. Maxwell, who is chairman. Since
their appointment, they have made care
full and searching inquiries into teach
ers' salaries and living expenses, both in
this state and other states, and also in
vestigated the pay of teachers as COM
pared with people in other walks of life.
1t was learned on reliable authority
that their report which will be made
at the December convention of teachers
in this city, will favor q minimum sal
airy law, such as at present exists in
the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, North Dakota, West Virginia and
Maryland. 1t will further show that a
teachers salary is far below the wages
received by those in more humble call
ings in skilled and unskilled labor
ranks, and they will recommend raising
the minimum age limit for teachers in
this state. The minimum limit at pres.
ent Is seventeen years,
