Impossible Friendships.

Almost all people, when one knows them well enough, are interesting, but there are a great many in ones circle of acquaintance that one can never know we'll Year after year goes on, and We may never touch anything really human and vivifying in them or they in us-except for mere outer shell of formal politeness. we do not know them, though we may meet them daily.
 It does not pay to try beyond cer- tain point-neither gains anything. They are not for your inner circle, nor you for theirs. And there are others who go through all the motions of rec ognition, yet who are intrinsically in- sincere. No matter how we may meet them in the larger social life, these have no place in the social life of the home, no matter how gifted or bril- liant, or how much sought by others or how cordial seems their greeting to you. Those who are really insincere can neither get nor give any good thing-they cannot make for life in any sense, but only for confusion and the subtle loss of that fine spirit of mutual trust that should be the very basis of family living.-Lillie Hamil- ton French. in Harper's Bazar.

Jake and the Apple.

It was during an arithmetic class in a country school that Jake Boggs was called upon to solve problem.
 Now. Jake," began the teacher. eff you had two apples, and your little brother took one, how many would you have left?"
 "I'd just like to see him try taking one" said Jake, shaking his fist.
 Well" said the teacher, well put it this way. Suppose you gave him one"
 "Yes; but wouldn't do it." said Jake.
 Just suppose that you did, what would remain?" said the weary teach CT.
 "A big fool, that's what" replied Jake.-Judge's Library.

Sit down. please, she said, and l will see what can get for you to eat. All the ser wants are away and l am alone in the house except for my little boy who Is asleep upstairs, and so l must wait on you myself. But perhaps you would rather go to the dining room?
 T shook my head, and she talked on and on. Heavens. How she did talk while she prepared my supper. Like many deaf persons, she did not wait for an answer. but went straight on, passing without break from one subject to another. l thought then, and think now. that it was fear that drove her It was not surprising. l was not one whom a lady would choose as a guest, alone, by night.

Counsel on both sides conferred to-day on the

RECOUNT HERRING SOON.
MAJOR Will Receive and Vet0 BIZ
PrObably about "Wednesday.

Mavor Mcclellan will give a public hearing on
the recount bill probably not earlier than
Wednesday Of next week. and then veto the bill
His acceptance of the bill would be used against
him in the courts by the Hearst lawyers, and he
might be estopped from defending his title 10
his office
1t is expected at the Mayors office that the
sill will reach there to-day. The law requires
that there shall be two consecutive days adver-
Using of city bills before hearing is given by
the Mayor AS Memorial Day falls on to-mor-
row. the advertising cannot possibly begin be-
fore Friday. The indications are that the Mayor
will set the hearing for Wednesday Of next week.
The Hearst men are making great prepara-
tions for the hearing. Clarence J. Shearn will
be the principal Hearst advocate, but he will not
be the only one Scores of Hearst are burst
ing and burning with eoquence which has been
damned back awaiting the fitting opportunity,
and they say the hearing will be, Of all times,
the most fitting.
The trainers OF the Prentice bill apparently
intended that the recount matter should be def
nitely settled by the state courts. But the
Mayors counsel probably will raise a question
of personal constitutional rights which they
hope TO carry TO the United States Supreme
Court. II will be recalled that the agents Of Mr..
Hearst Immediately following the election sue
ceeded in transferring the ballot boxes from the
various precincts to the central office of the
Board of Elections, in AID street, and that on
account of lack of room there the boxes were in
the street overnight Several Of them We're
broken open and their contents scattered about
in the street. The Mcclellan lawyers will make
the most of this incident On the other hand,
the friends of Mr.. Hearst are confident of OBJ
tanning early adjudication of the controversy.
The recount bill provides very simple pro-
cedure for recanvassing the entire Mayoralty
vote said Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mr..
Hearst yesterday Upon filing the petition of
a candidate and a satisfactory bond TO pay the
cost Of the proceeding If the recount does not
change the result II is the duty of the Supreme
Court to proceed TO canvass of the vote in
every election district specified in the petition
upon giving due notice to each candidate af-
fected. The court may appoint many
missioners as It deems necessary.
THE probabilities that one commissioner
will he appointed for each Assembly district, for
then many boxes can be counted simultaneously.
Il hope the end of the fight is near. but, tudg-
ing by experience. We shall probably be blocked
in the courts for a couple Of months yet"
