The Hobo.
by ELLIS o. JONES.

"The hobo, as l understand it,"
said the Man from Mars, lis fellow
who will not work. Am l correct?"
"Yes, in way" replied the Philan-
thropist, i"although your statement
ought to be qualified little. There
are people in the community who do
not work, and yet they are not classed
as hoboes."
"And who might they be?"
"Well, of course, l refer to those
who have money. They don't have
to work"
81 don't see the difference" re-
Joined the man from Mars querulous-
ly. 1T is clear that If the hobo lives
without working, he doesn't have to
work any more than the other man."
"If you put it in that way, l sup
pose you are right" replied the
Philanthropist. "But, then, you
know, the hobo is of different class.
The others l spoke of have worked
at some time in their lives and saved
their money
And have the hoboes never
worked?"
"Well, hardly that, either. They
may have worked. In fact, they have
all been workingmen at some time
in their lives, but they did not save
their money. That's the point. Con-
sequently they are not fit to survive"
triumphantly concluded the Philan-
thropist, who had read bit of Dar-
win.,
Your remark would indicate that
they are becoming extinct. Is that
what you mean?"
"Oh, by no means. On the con-
trary, they are vastly on the in
crease"
(which would look to me as il
they were surviving very well, it
seems to me-" put in the Man from
Mars. "Now, as to the other class of
non-workers. You say they have
worked hard at some time in their
lives?
"Yes-that is, either they or their
fathers. To be sure, many of them
inherited what they have"
"But, after ALL, said the Man from
Mars, there is no difference between
them as to their antipathy for work"
II suppose that is correct in the
abstract" admitted the Philan-
thropist.
"Now, then, as to all the rest, the
workers, do they work because they
like it or because they have to-"
Most of them work because they
like it, l believe, but really you will
have to excuse me this morning. l
would like to talk to you longer, but
l have note to meet at the bank and
l must skurry around and raise the
money. However, l will give you the
name of our minister. He can un-
doubtedly tell you what you want to
know. From Life.

Mrs. Branksome, pityingly. "And

Well, I made him empty out the bag

Mrs. Branksome laughed until the

Indy HamiltOn's Poses.

Emma Hart, afterward Lady Ham
ilton, had great fascination upon
the portrait painter Romney. Born
in the humblest circumstances, and
at one time being maid of all work,
she successfully became the wife of
Sir William Hamilton and Lord Mel
sons inamorata. Romney was never
weary of painting her features, beau
tiful more because of the expression
she was capable of assuming than be-
cause she was really handsome. The
Infinite variety of her poses has been
immortalized by the great portrait
painters-and also caricatured I'M
mercifully. A set of the latter in the
British Museum would make the gods

Too Sensitive.

"If had a child it might have all
the freckles it wanted and a nose that
turned skyward and hasty temper,
and l shouldn't worry" writes a
mother. "But there is one thing it
would not have if could help it, and
that is an over-sensitive disposition.
What curse sensitiveness is both to
men and women How it makes
them suffer needlessly and imagine
all sorts of Sights which were never
intended!
"And all this can be cured in in
fancy. A child begins by being self
centred; it ends by growing morbid.

and directs the child's attention away
from itself to more cheerful and less
selfish thoughts, thus saving it count

Teach the Child,

The modern theory of child train
ing is to shift the responsibility Of
wrongdoing to child's own shoul-
ders. 1t is early taught to weigh
right and wrong and count the cost.
Mothers who are in despair over
the behavior of their children should
try making them free agents. Show
them plainly how unpopular they are
making themselves by their horrid
behavior. Appeal to the reason.
Teach them to form their own de-
cisions and abide by the results.
A child so trained usually acquires
self-control.
This method of training is not feas.
ible, however, without parents have
the good judgment to keep in such
close touch with their little ones that
they can act as counsellor, as last
court of appeals and as presiding
Judge, whose decisions are final.
A mother of large and interest
ing family said IF l had dozen
children / would have to evolve dis-
ferent way to train each one Accord
ing to it's idiosyncrasies."
Instead of mourning over child s
misconduct, study to make it good in
spite of itself. Keep it.so well that
a happy disposition comes natural.
Teach Mary or John self-government.
but at the same time let 1t be thor
oughly understood that you are gov

Dolls For Fashion,

Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates in
their modern form were thought of,
women derived their knowledge of
the fashions from dolls dressed in
modern costumes, which were sent
from one country to another, more es-
pecialy from Paris, then, as now, the
leading centre of the mode.

This season has been pre-eminent-

vet band to the costly tiara.

and intricate design, studded with
gems and great barbaric matrixes,
enameled and hand carved, have been
the favored coiffure ornament of the
smart woman.
Bands of satin ribbon to harmonize

lar with young girls.
