A Woman on Women.

For selfishness and reconsideration

will deliberately occupy two seats In

laden with bundles. without Offering to
move up, and otherwise try to prove
to everybody with eyes in theii
heads that they. these women, have
no manners at all.
Yet, If you called at the houses OF
such women, | have no doubt in the
world that you would be courteously
received; their best would be at your
disposal, and you would otherwise dis
cover that they had some claim to the
title of ladies-but never from their
manners in public.
And, far from displaying good man.
ners themselves, many women are In,
capable OF appreciating good manners
In others. II well-bred woman does
move up to make room for a standing
woman. how often is the first woman
thanked? Sometimes not even a bow
or a glance Is given!
Ask men how often they are thanked
(once In 20 times) for giving their
seats In car to women.

Tools Cheap at Junk Shops.

In every large city Will be found
places where secondhand or Junk
tools are sold. Tools Of all descrip.
lions. adapted to every branch Of
mechanics. can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
A goodsized paint brush brings two
cents, carpenters hammer Ave
cents, a pick or shovel 25 cents. a rip
saw ten cents, and so on. According
to Popular Mechanics, the average
price is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at hardware
store, and the tool is often just as use
full as new one.
Some of the stuff In the motley col
lection comes from unredeemed
pawns, some from junk dealers and
a good deal from parties of whom no
questions are asked.
Frequently quite valuable tools and
instruments can be had for mere
song, as most customers want the
tools of ordinary use requiring less
skill to handle.

that he had dismally failed on his first
assignment, Calling determined to
walk once more around the castle be

up a little prayer, bareheaded in the
rain, asking for help In his need.

Not very long ago his majesty at
tended the National theater at Chris
tiania, the play for that evening being
from the pen of the famous dramatist
Bjornsen. So delighted was the king
with his evenings entertainment that
when the curtain fell he summoned
the venerable author to his box.
"a very beautiful play, my dear
Bjornson!" said the king.
The old nan stepped up to King
Haakon and patted him kindly on the
head.
DO you say 'majet very, your
majesty. Here we pronounce it
'meget.' A man in your position must
be careful in these matters, you
know"
For a moment King Haakon did not
know whether or not he should resent
the dramatist's familiarity, but the old
mans benevolent expression won the
day, and the king promised not 10 mis-
pronounce the word in future.
That's right" said Bjornson. 'You
