THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
But the Man con the Job" Hearlk-
 ened Not.

A dozen idlers were watching what appeared to be preparations for hoist ing heavy barrel to the third story of building on Second street that was being remodeled. They looked like the kind of men who are always seeking work and hoping not to find it.
 The man in charge of the operations puffed away on short clay pipe, and paid little or no attention to the crowd. Best way to get that barrel up is to lay 1t on it's side, then throw a couple of half hitches around it with a half-lnch line, hook your tackle to it, and there you are,' remarked the man with sandy whlskers, with knowing look.
 The man in charge of the operations made no reply.
 "'Pears to me like a good stout cradle made of wire would be the thing" spoke up the man with faded brown hat. "Get a good stout piece of telegraph wire, make cradle out of 1t, hitch on your tackle, and that's all
 
 there is to it."
 The boss puffed away at his dudeen and said nothing.
 "All wrong, all wrong," said the It, tie man with the baggy trousers. "What does he want with such con. traptons with two elevators in the building? There goes one of 'em now, hauling up brick and mort. All he's got to do Is roll the barrel up that plank onto the elevator, click to the horse, and the jobs done. Don't need no harness to haul that barrel up." And the little man looked wise.
 By this time the boss had finished what he was about. Taking his pipe from his mouth for minute he looked at the crowd, grlnned, then lifted the barrel to his shoulder and threw 1t over on a refuse pile. It was empty Milwaukee Sentinel.

TAKE, BUT DO NOT GIVE.
"NfOre Blessed to Receive" Seems to

"NTore Blessed to Receive" Seems to
 He Government Theory.
 Our government will not send gift to the bride of Spain's King. Fortu- nately the King of Spain did not send one to Miss Roosevelt at the time of her marriage, and the administration is thus relieved from what might be serious embarrassment, says Wash ington correspondent. Gifts from crown ed heads and governments bring great deal of trouble to those who receive them. When potentate makes pres ent to fellow ruler of to any one else, he expects return in kind. President Roosevelt would have to devote his en- tire income to that purpose if he did what is expected of him, while Con- gress will never make an appropriation for any such object. Over in the Ma tional Museum and in the library of the State Department you can see numer ous artistic and valuable articles, which from time to time have been presented to our President or our government by foreign rulers, and in each case our President was expected to reciprocate in kind. When the President of France or the President of Switzerland or the President of the Argentine Republic or the President of Cuba, or any of their families receive gifts, they always re- turn them. The same is done by the crowned heads of Europe, Asia and Af- rica, but the President of the United States is an exception. We do not eX- change. presents. We accept everything that is sent to us from the Sultan of Turkey or the Empress of China or any other prince or potentate, and we put 1t up in the National Museum or the State Department library to be admir- ed, while the person who sent 1t and all foreigners who know that it was sent are gossiping about our parsimony and ignorance of etiquette. The fall ure of our government to return the many presents that have been made the President and the members of his fam lily during the last quarter of century Is common source of gossip in every court.

 Dinner was proceeding amlcably enough, but there were one or two aw- full pauses, and in the silent depths of one of these the sweet treble of little Edith was raised.

A milliner who works in large city says that one day woman came into the store very much excited, and want ed the trimming on her new hat changed. She said that 1t had been trimmed on the wrong side.
 "But," said the saleswoman, "the trimming Is on the left side. That Is where 1t ought to be-"
 Tt doesn't make any difference whether 1t ought to be in front or back, or right or left, it's got to be on the church side."
 Church side!" gasped the astonlshed girl.
 "Yes, church side. I sit right next the wall in church, and I'm not going to have all that trimming next the wall. I want 1t on the other side, so the whole congregation can see it."
 The trimming was promptly placed on the "church side" of the hat.

The Giant LObsters.

The largest lobster ever caught on the coast of America was taken by a Belfast (Me) fisherman in 1891. It weighed twenty-three pounds and measured thirty-seven inches from the end of its tail to the tip of the long front claws. The monster was too large to enter a common lobster trap, but as the trap was being drawn up 1t was caught in the netting and safely landed. Many years ago lobster weighing twenty-two pounds was cap- tured near the same place, and the event was considered to be of enough importance to be given a place In Will. iamson's History of Belfast"
