An Excellent Waitress.

Nurses in training have many hard
ships to bear, but perhaps none is
worse than having to appear cheerful
under all conditions. A sense of hu.
NOR is perhaps as great an asset as
a nurse can have, for it will help her
over many difficulty.
The daughter of wealthy man be-
came imbued with the desire to know
how to earn her OWL living, and to
that end she entered one of the large
New York hospitals as nurse. The
work was to her liking, and, as she
looked on the bright side of every
thing, she was generally in happy
frame of mind. Her particular pet"
was an old and illiterate sea cap
tain, who was in the surgical ward
with a broken arm which would not
knit He was cheerful old fellow,
and his droll remarks gained for him
the good will of everybody. One day
when the nurse had paid him some
little attention, he said with an ap-
preciative smile:
Miss L. is the best waitress l ever
had!"

While the scarcity of currency
caused the substitution in pay envel-

and profitable habit which is said to
be in vogue out west, where gold is
always more in use than in the east,
is understood to have found much
favor here.
The nature of this is suggested in
a question which q New Yorker who
was away out west near Detroit or

hood recently put to native.

hand on his waistcoat pocket and

That's his gold dust factory" was
the answer. He has that pocket lined
with emery paper and keeps gold
coin in it all the time. He renews the
coin occasionally and then every three
months or so he cleans out the pocket
very carefully and sells the dust. He

The late Prof Julius Eichbere
whose violin school was at one tim
one Of the most fiourishing institu
tons of Boston, enjoyed telling tn,
following joke which was Innocent!
played on him by pupil:
Just before the vacation season h,
once inquired Of boy how much HI
intended to practice on his violin dur
ing the summer.
"Oh, not very much" replied the
Foungster
mot very much! How is that?"
Because want to play and enjoy

Where we go summers"
That's very WELL" answered Eich
berg, but can you not devote one
hour day to your violin?"
NO, sir" was the prompt reply.
Half AN hour?"
mo, not even that, / have no time ,
IT is too bad, for you will forget
everything you have learned"
Eichberg stopped minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
when on your vacation?"
Very early, sir-between five and
six"
Well, that's the best time. Put III
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to d.

the best of terms.
A few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one of the
cool rooms of fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
inopportunely awakened by the furi-
Gus screeching Of violin just over
his head
Il wonder who the plaguey catgut-
scraper is at this hour" grumbled he,
as he looked at his watch, and was
Mortified to see that it was not yet six
o'clock
Sleeping late, as was his continental
habit, was altogether out of the Ques-
ton for Eichberg that morning, for
the outlandish screeching was faith
fully kept up just half an hour, and
then suddenly ceased.
By that time, however, he had
dressed himself, and having come
downstairs, was about to enter the
dining room for breakfast together
with the usual early risers when he
was joyously greeted by a boy with
familiar face, who said proudly:
Il follow your advice, professor, and
have not missed one morning. Have
just put in half an hours practice"
Il know it," grimly answered Eich,

Immediately after breakfast he
walked to the desk and asked for an.

But presently she returned and

DID SERVICE AT suNkgR HILL.
Maine Man Owns Musket That Was
Used in Historic Conflict.


Alonzo Smith Of Skowhegan, Me-,
has an old gun, which was used in the
battle of Bunker Hill, 1S1 years ago.
Many who fought on the American
side on the 18th OF June afterward
went to Maine to settle, among them
Billy Smith, private in the Second
New Hampshire regiment. Mr.. Smith,
the great-grandfather of Alonzo Smith
of Skowhegan, settled in CornEille in
1880, and his grave is in the orchard
on a farm near where his grandson,
Clark e. Smith, now lives. The mus
ket which Billy Smith carried at Bun
ker Hill was among his effects brought
to Cornville, and on his death passed
into the hands of his son, David, and
was by him bequeathed to his grand
son, Sylvester Smith. A few years
ago, when Sylvester left for the west,
he gave the famous old musket to
Sylvester Smith of Skodhegan, who
now treasures it as family heirloom.
One remark made by Billy Smith in
relating his experiences at Bunker
Hill has been anded down to his de-
scendants, to the eject that he felt
some repugnance at first in shooting
at the redcoats as they came up the
slope, but after the first few shots he
could as easily take aim at British
officer as he could at partridge. The
gun itself is in working order barring
the loss of the nilt, and could be
easily re-equipped for actual use.

will recall many annoyances. Your
back ached, your shoes pinched, some
one hurt your feelings; you lost money
when you expected to make it, or a
friend turned you down. You hope
tomorrow will be better, but when to-
morrow and other to-morrows have
