PET ORDERED THE GROCERIES.

Pets home was only few steps
from the grocery store, and she often
went with her mamma tc order the
groceries. She would stand back and
listen as her mamma said, Two
pounds of steak, dozen eggs, cake
of soap and a bushel of potatoes" I"
and then watch the grocer as he wrote
down the order Often he gave her
an apple or a piece of candy, for he
was very fond of Pet.
Cne afternoon Pets mamma was
obliged t. lie away from home, and
she could not very we'll take Pet, so
she said, Now, Pet, you stay and
keep house in mammals place this
afternoon. Papa will be up in his
study, and if you get lonely you may
go up and sit with him. Be a good
girl, won't you, Fet? You are NAM
mas little housekeeper to-day"
Pet wished she had some brothers
AMI sisters to Ilay with, but she
hadn't; so she began to dress her
dolls, and that took quite a while,
for there were five of them. But
finally she had them all dressed and
then she sat down to think what she
could do next.
81 most forgot!" she exclaimed,
jumping up in a great hurry. 81
don't believe mamma has ordered her
groceries to-day. 1 must go right
over and do it,
So she put on her hat and ran over
to the grocery. Mr.. Barnes was very
much surprised to see her coming
alcne, but he was more surprised
when she said, II have come to order
the groceries, Mr.. Barnes"
"Have you?" said Mr.. Barnes.
Eyes; and I want some meat
roast ham chops, think I'll have to-
day, and 1 guess six pounds will be
enough-and I want pound of but
ter and a p)und-no, two pounds
CT pink sugar" She had seen her
mother &C lor the cake yesterday with
scme link sugar, and it was so pref
ty that she wanted another one like
it tc-morr1w.
"And-let me see-oh, yes; l want
fish-a cod fish, if you have one
Maybe I'd better have two, for papa
is very fond of fish,
Mr.. Barnes had been writing down
her order with very sober face, just
as if he was in the habit of taking
orders from five-year-old girls every
day
81 guess that's ALL" said Pet
''Why, no, I pretty near forgot the
tea. I'll take five pounds, please;
and a little milk, for papa likes milk
in his tea. Please send the things
right over" and Pet ran back to her
dolls. Pretty soon she went up to
papa's study and became SO inter-
ested in looking at a new scrap book
that she was surprised to see her
mother step in.
why, mamma, are you back 50
soon?" she said.
Yes, Pet; but didn't you know it's
nearly supper time?"
NO, is it," and Pet got up and
looked anxiously down into the street
Il don't believe Mr.. Barnes has sent
those groceries yet, and told him to
send them right over"
II saw him, dear, and told him he
need net send them till morning,
said her mother.
Pet looked relieved and was glad
that it didn't matter because the gro
ceries were late When they came in
the morning, she was out at play, so
she never knew that it was lamb in
stead of ham chops" and granu-
lated sugar instead of pink" and
that the tea and fish were left out en-
tirely. But good old Mr.. Barnes often
laughs when he tells about Pets
order-R F. Knapp, in Sunday
School Times.

Refused Loan, Quan Wung Yng
Wounds Quang Quock Heong

Refused a loan of $50, Guam Wun &
Yng. Chinese. last night shot and
badly wounded his cousin, Quang Quock
Heong, and. thinking he had killed
him, turned the revolver on himself
and committed suicide.
Quang is the proprietor of a large
Chinese drug store at 766 Clay street
and. according TO his friends, had been
frequently mulcted by his cousin, Quan.
Last night the latter appeared in the
store and made the usual request for
money, saying he was going to Oregon
and needed cash to pay for his trans
portation.
Quang. refused. and Quan, without
further parley, drew a revolver and
started firing. He fired three shots.
the first two taking effect in the abdo-
men and leg. The third went wide. AS
Quang fell to the floor Quan ran TO a
room in the rear of the store and
after locking the door, killed himself.
the revolver shot ringing out just as
the police arrived Quang was taken
to the central emergency hospital. His
wounds. though serious, are not fatal.
Guam was dead when the police picked
him up.
