Tho Black Maria.

In Boston's early days a negress
named Maria Lee kept a sailors
boarding house near the water
front. She was q woman of gigan-
tic size and prodigious strength and
was of great assistance to the au-
thorities in keeping the peace.
When an unusually troublesome fel-
low was on the way to the lookup
Black Maria, as Maria Lee was call
ed, would come to the assistance of
the policeman, and her services
were in such requisition for this
purpose that her name was associat-
ed with almost every arrest made.
Black Maria often carried a pris-
oner to the lookup on her shoulder,
and when the prison van was insti-
tuted for the purpose of carrying
prisoners it naturally enough was
styled the Black Maria.

Sentiment In the Wedding.

Very few persons have the cour-
age to be married quietly. without
fuss or expense. Men have some
times gone through the ceremony
and left their wives at the church
door. But in such cases the mar
riage was one of compulsion or
state necessity and in nowise af-
fected the general custom. The old
fashion of the posy ring, given on
the wedding day, was pretty, and
these rings, with their quaint con-
ceits and affectionate notices, are
now eagerly sought after as curiosi-
ties. In these prosaic times lovers
no longer share broken coins or
the halves of a locket or give min
iatures to wear around the neck, as
even George w., that heartless and
selfish monarch, did,, being buried
with the picture of Mrs. Fitz-I[er-
bert hanging on his breast. Little
items of sentiment are gradually
disappearing, but not the fine
clothes, the parade, the extrava-
gance, the crowds and the cham

HE GOT COFFEE.
Tho Major Asked For Tea, but That
Made No Difference.

Made No Difference.
Back in the seventies of the last
century, when the Kansas DIVISION
of the Union Pacific was called the
Kansas Pacific, Major E. D. Red
dington, who had served with dis
tinction in the civil war, was pay
master. At that time the paymas-
ter was the biggest man connected
with the road in the estimation of
the employees and the people living
in the towns along the line, and his
arrival in the pay car was usually
the occasion for great outpouring
of the people.
One night Major Reddington's
car pulled into the town of Wallace.
The major and his clerks were CIV
en- a grand welcome by the people.
They were escorted to a railroad
boarding house and treated as royal
guests. 1t was conducted by bux-
ON Irishwoman, who boasted that
she set the best table of any town
along the road.
At supper that night every reiyu-
lar boarder turned up at the table
looking his best. The Irish 1and-
lady," as they called her, appeared
in a neat blue calico dress, all
primped up and smiling.
"Tay r coffee?" she asked, with
a pretty courtesy, as she passed
from one guest to another.
The regular boarders understood
it all, and they answered, "Cofiee,
please, num-" Major Reddington,
however, was a down east Yankee
and not much of a coffee drinker,
so when the question was put to
him he replied with his usual po-
liteness:
81 will have cup of tea, if you
please"
It almost took her breath away.
The look of disgust on her face
caused the regular boarders to tit
ter. Then she flared up.
"Say coffee, ye omadahn, Fl we
have no tay," she said as she poured
the majors cup full Of steaming
coffee.-Kansas City Star.

Johnny Use the Term.
Shortly after Mrs. Frances Hodg-
son BurnetPs book, Little Lord
Fauntleroy,' appeared she went
with her two little boys to seaside
hotel. The story had made great
sensation, and there had ensued a
regular epidemic of Fauntleroy
curls, Fauntleroy suits and Fauntle-
roy youngsters. In the room next
to that occupied by Mrs. Burnett
was a dashing, rather overdressed
widow, with a red haired, bullet
headed son of about seven, who was
the terror of the hotel. Anticipat-
ing the arrival of the famous au.
thor, the mother had purchased a
complete ard elaborate Fauntleroy
outfit, with which she proceeded to
deck out her unappreciative and re-
bellious offspring.
Not content with this outward
seeming, the woman desired to COM
plete the caricature by compelling
her precious child to address her as
dearest" after the manner of the
hero of the book, instead of "mom-
mer" or, more frequently, merely
"say," as had been his previous GUS
tom.
Mrs. Burnett arrived no sooner
than she had been expected, but ap-
parently before little Johnny had
entirely completed his course of in
struction in. filial courtesy, as was
evident by the sounds which pene-
trated the thin lath and plaster par
tition between the rooms. This is
what Mrs. Burnett heard:

turnips. The early sun sank in the

a bag. began to dig with frantic haste.
The farmer watched the pair in some

AN OCCASIONAL PAINTER.-On the
campus at Stanford university the
score of fraternity houses are clean
ing up and preparing for the social re-
ceptions and luncheons to be given to
visitors on the day of the big football
game. A man got the contract to
paint the Deke house white with the
understanding that the job must be
done and dried long before Nov 3.
After making a rush start, the pain
ter asked permission to hang out his
sign. His request was granted, and
he put up a conspicuous announcement
over the front porch: "These premises
being painted by Blank Blank"
Then the work dragged. He came
one day and stayed away two. So the
impatient collegians added to the sign

nouncement read: These premises

Young artist in Washington who class
es himself as Of the impressionistic
school, and who, being somewhat out

lack Of technique by spreading co1or

AT an amateur exhibition he once
hung one OF his most extraordinary
performances.

tist had taken to see the work, Il don't

A Queer Rock.

Attached to one of the field parties
Of the geological survey during the past
summer was a young college student
who could draw a very nice water
color sketch Of the various strata OF
the earth right through the centre
but whose practical application Of his
book learning was more or less defec-
tive. One evening he came to the
chief of the party in a state of high ex-
element.
Il have found a most remarkable
stone" he declared; something that
will create a sensation. 1t is as round
as a barrel and just that shape, and
must have rolled for ages in the bed
of some swift stream. 1t is unlike any
rock in this vicinity so must have come
a vast distance-probably in some
mighty iceberg-but as there are
mountains to the west it may have
come down in a glacier!"
It was agreed that the entire party
should inspect the find the first thing
the following morning. Accordingly
they followed the young man for a
mile, and at last reached the myste-
rious stone, which was standing on end
in a fence corner. About that time an
old farmer came along. and one of the
scientists appealed to him.
DO you know anything about this
strange stone?" he asked.

GERMANY HELPS BOYS.
Looks Up Position For Them Before
They Leave School.

Looks UP POSITION For lneHi ooioio
They Leave School.
When an American boy leaves school
he does not always know what sort OF
work he wants or is fit for, says the
Youths Companion. Or even when he
knows exactly what kind Of a job he
desires he often does not know at all
how to find it. Such job as he aims
for may not exist within his opportu-
mites of place and time. So the boy
leaving school must drift into an un-
suitable occupation, or, worse, into no
occupation at all, in spite of an honest
wish originally to work. In Germany
they order these things better.
Every year printed schedules OF
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teacher Of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the
municipal labor bureau, which will ad-
wise them as to the choice Of a voca-
ton, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to all
the trade guilds and other labor socie-
ties to enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to the
aid given them. Boys come by doZ-
ems to the offices Of the bureaus in
search of positions as apprentice or be-
ginner. Each brings a form Of appli-
cation filled up by himself, but signed
by his teacher
When the bureau finds a place for
him he is notified by postcard and
presents himself for examination by
the employer, wherever or whenever
the latter may appoint.
Whether the boy takes the job or
not he must report to the bureau the
result Of the interview, and this goes
on until work is procured which suits
him and which he is able to do.
For the direction Of the boys the
labor bureau mas pTepdTeu, Will lie
aid of expert employers and medical
men. a handbook Of the nd .ries open
to boy. This handbook describes the
different kinds Of work. the qualifica-
tions necessary to each. the prospects
of promotion or steady employment,
the health conditions, the dangers and
difficulties, the cost and time of train
ing and everything else which the boy
and his parents ought to know before
choosing his career.
A ladies' committee has lately been
appointed to look after the girls al
so from the schools. So the young
people of Munich have a first rate
chance for a good start in life.
