Got Quite Pleasant.

The mistress Of a h%ospitable home in
New York recently had to employ u
new second girl whose work she liked,
but whose blunt and %forbidding man
ner she liked not at all. She talked to
the girl and urged her to be pleasant
and agreeable whenever she had to say
anything to other people, particularly
visitors.
A great surprise for the mistress fol-
lowed this admonition. The next day
the girl happened to attend the door,
and she opened 1t just as her mistress
was passing through the hall. To the
establishment and ~bewilderment of the
latter the girl reached out and, catch
ing the caller by the hand. actually
dragged her inside the door, express
ing her pleasure at seeing her, and
then hastened to announce the call to
her mistress.-New York Sun.

. Some fanciful writer's assert that
these light hearted Insect folk are
constantly disputing, sone saying that
"Katy did" and the other as constantly
asserting that katy didn't" This has
been repeated till 1t Is threadbare and
monotonous. 1t has been said in songs,
essays and bromide poetry. Those who
have not enough originality to get up
some fresh concelt retail it in print or
in conversation as though it were a
new discovery. I have no doubt that
the a%ntiquarians will find on the tab

something about "Katy did and Katy
didn't"
AS a matter Of fact, nothing Of the

dispute. After listening to them very
carefully l am ready to take my oath
that they are unanimous. Every moth

wise says "Katy did," 1t is a chorus Of
afirmations. There is not a discord Of
negation in it. That is what gives the
charm to the song. 1t is only man who
argues or disputes in words. If ami
mails have any misunderstanding,
there is but little talk on the subject,
but a fight or a foot c at once.
Man, however, lifts up his voice and
contends by the day, the year and the
century. And it was in the effort to
find some other living thing that in
dulged in the same futile and discord-
ant habit that caused him to fasten
this libel on the ~inoffensive katydid.

Storm King.
The Highlands are not as high as
some mountains, and yet they are tall
enough to bump their heads against
the clouds. Storm King does this so
often that he has become a local. ba.
rometer. Whenever he is clear the
weather will he the same. but when
the clouds gather like a frown on the
brow of the old mountain look for trou-
BILE. This very human quality is what
gave his royal majesty the name Of
Storm King.
Prior to that rechristening lie was
called Butter hill. Irving tells how
he came by that label so much better
than any Of the rest of us can hope to
do that it is idle to repeat the tale. III
brief, it is that a certain man, carrying
a firkin of butter, was chased by In.
dams. Painting his way through the
stones and underbrush to the top Of
the mountain and finding his foes con.
stantly gaining on him, he deliberately
sat down on his butter firkin and slid
down the almost perpendicular side of
the mountain to the rivers edge. This
was not making a blazed trail, but q
creased trail. When he reached the
bottom there was nothing of the frkin
except one or two nails in the tub, but
the man escaped.
In the same way Bull hill, now
made more fashionable and dignified as
Mount Taurus, got Its name from the
fact that a bull jumped over the noun
tain and broke it's neck. Anthony's
Nose was so called from a man whose
nasal protuberance was the wonder of
the region. Naturally enormous this
organ had been increased by a thirst
like that of Rip Van Wrinkle and by a
choice assortment of carbuncles:
Storm King stands by the side Of
Cro'nest and is the last of the High
lands on the west shore. At it's foot
nestles the village of Cornwall. where
N. p. Willis and e. r. Roe wrote in
the old days and where Amelia Barr
and Julian Hawthorne still s~ojourn
when the mood strikes them. But the
old mountain offers no such brave
front to the people in Cornwall as lie
does to us across the river. Here we
look always on his rocky face as ii
runs sheer to the waters edge. He is
imposing in all moods. but is most sc
when crowned with clouds. Yet he
has his softer moments, and when
the sun sets over him, as it does each
night from my little platform. he be.
comes a thing of glory.

The Man Who Couldn't Stand the
Quiet.

~N4SVs ~ W. rrla . .L
1t is strange what city life will do to
SOM people. For example, a friend
of mine wanted to live with nature
md rented a cottage about a mile or
two from the river on the other side Of
Mount Taurus. His enthusiasm before
going out to his earthly paradise was
Of the ~efferyescent variety. He could
not talk for two consecutive minutes
without dragging in some reference
to it.
He stayed in that cottage exactly
one night. The next morning he had
a wild look in his eyes, and nothing
could hold him from Broadway and
his tucked in fat in the side of a cliff
at One Hundred and Umpty-umpth
street. No more of nature for him.
Nor would he even talk about it. The
thing was like a skeleton in a closet.
too horrible for the publicity Of con-
versation.
1t was six months before l could get
him to take me into his confidence.
Then the grewsome secret came out.
He couldn't stand the quiet. He was
so used to the discordant din of his
dear Manhattan that the sweet silence
of nature was like a nightmare. No
one could describe the terror Of that
one night on the. hillside. In vain lie
listened for the musical sounds Of the
IL" trains. for the satisfying click of
fat wheels, for the shrieks Of whistles.
the sounds Of jewellers In the morning
hours and the tin pan accents Of the
photograph in the next fiat. These
sounds would have lulled him to sleep
as the mothers lullaby does the fretful
infant. But In a solitude where there
was nothing but the song Of the katy
dds and crickets or the distant voice
Of mountain streams the stiffness beat
in upon his ears, kept him awake and
made him afraid.
There is a legend IN the neighb0rho0d
Of another New York man who came
here to live with nature, but for the
truth Of this I will not vouch. i have
enough mendacity> of my W to an
swer for without becoming responsible
for that Of other people. AS the tale
goes, this man on his first night had
much the same. terrifying experience
as my friend, but he had more grit. He
decided to stick 1t out, SO he invented
q contrivance just outside his window
that would beat tin pans. jangle scrap
iron and grind powders together. Aft
er that he slept in peace.
