Warned In a Dream.

On the occasion of a fatal accident
to a lift in a Paris hotel some years
ago a lady who was just going up
in It started back, saying, "Oh, there
is that dreadful man again!' and
tried to induce her husband to come
off it, too, but he refused and was
among the killed. The dreadful man"
to whom she referred she had seen in
a dream, which the niece Of the friend
who told me the story had heard her
relate a day or two before the acct
dent. 1t was of a funeral drawn up
at her door, so pompous as to produce
a great impression on her. presided
over by a big dark man in strange
sombrero hat This man she saw, or
believed she saw. in the lift, and the
coincidence terrified her from going
up in it.-London Notes and Queries.

Among the applicants answering the
advertisement of Klein & Klippert for
a stenographe" was Miss Rose Will
hams of suburban village. Both
partners were old bachelors, and when
the advertisement was inserted Klein
said to Klippert:
There will probably be a hundred
girls come tomorrow, and as l know
more about human nature than you
do will see them and pick out the one
we want
"But as | know more about StenOg-
raphy than you do it should be left to
me-" was the reply of the partner.
They wrangled over the matter for
ten minutes and then agreed that both
should receive and question the ap-
plicants. When Miss Rose entered the
Office each partner said to himself that
she would do, no matter whether she
knew anything about stenography or
not Each tried to impress upon her
mind the fact that he was fatherly
and kind hearted and wished to run
an orphan asylum. Klein wanted to
offer her $40 a week, and Klippert
wanted to offer SIS more, but they final
~ settled on SIS to start with. This
was S. more than they had intended
paying, and the bookkeeper wondered
II the well known economy Of the es-
tablishmeht was to fly out of the
window. When the terms had been
settled and the applicant had depart
ed, to reappear on the morrow, Klein
hitched about on his chair for a cou-
pie Of minutes and then said:
"As my room Is rather the largest
and lightest, am willing to make
place for the young lady. Did you no.
tee the lines of sorrow around her
young mouth? shall speak very gen.
tly to her."
'There Is fine, light space in my
room for the young lady," replied
Khppert, land will take her in there.

HOW TO CAGE A BEAR.

Lead the Way to His Den.
Escapes of animals from their cages
in geological gardens and menageries
are fortunately rare. When they do
occur the work Of recapture is set
about in a businesslike fashion, and

tured before anything is known out
side.
In the periodical issued by the man
agement of the Breslau garden an
amusing story is told Of an incident of
this kind. Some years ago. on a fine
autumn morning, just after the gates
were opened there vas a loud knock
ing at the pay window. and, in reply to
the inquiry of the money taker who
presented himself, man in a state of
great excitement scid tilt IS he was
walking on the Oder bank he had seen
through the palisading a large bear
loose in the grounds. Greatly obliged
to you, SIR" was the reply. 1--WE know
that already: that bear goes for a walk
every morning and returns to its cage
before the visitors come in"
The man went away quite satisfied
The official, who knew the real state OF
the case. at once ordered the gates to
be closed, and the director was at once
informed that the bear was loose. II
was q serious matter, for the bear had
killed the keeper in travelling menag-
erie and for that reason was sold to
the geological garden. Moreover, when
a mate had been put in with him she
soon fell a victim to his bad temper
While the authorities were considering
the best steps to take to recapture the
bear-for they were loath to shoot such
q fine animal-the keeper whose negli-
gence in leaving door unfastened had
caused the trouble made his appear
ance. His only reply to the reproaches
of the director for allowing the bear to
escape was. well, we shall have to
get him in again"
He went off to the storerOOm, filled
his apron with carrots and bread and
then sought the bear. When he saw
the animal he called out to attract its
attention and by throwing down food
enticed it to the back Of the bear dens.
Here the man entered through small
door by which new arrivals were put
into the cages. He was closely follow
ed by the bear, but reached the middle
Of the cage before it had scrambled
through the small opening. Then he
dropped on the floor the rest of the
food he had in his apron and made his
way out of the cage, which was at
once securely fastened in front and at
the rear. Thus the incident, which
might have had serious consequences,
ended happily for those on whom the
responsibility rested.-London Field.

There is q sad look about her eyes, as
If she had some great grief, and
shall not expect her to do much work"
They disputed for half an hour over
the point, and next day Miss Rose
was given the hall between the Office
rooms Of the partners. 1t was
gloomy, contracted space, but she
made no complaints. Each partner
had made excuses to address her half
a dozen times when it came half past
IL o'clock. Then Klein passed into the
room Of the other and said:
"You seem to have lots of business
with the new girl this morning. If you
are not more careful she will become
afraid Of you"
II was going to say the same thing
to YOU" was the prompt reply. II
have simply been treating her in a IA
therly way. 1 think she has lost her
natural father. and that's the reason
she looks so sorrowful."
"But she will expect me to invite her
out to lunch. I am the senior partner,
you know"
"But 1 was intending to do that
courtesy myself. It belongs to the jun
Tor partner"
"But l contend that it would look
forward in you. Remember. she is a
very timid girl
81 shall be gentleness itself. You
with your brusque way would certain
~ brighten her."
They went out into the store to
argue the matter out, and it took so
long to do it that Miss Rose had gone
to her lunch when they returned to
ask her, to go with both. The partners
felt that the other was to blame, and
at half past o'clock, in order to get
even with Klippert, Klein called the
stenographer into his room and die
tated letter and then said:
Miss Williams, your work has prov
ed so satisfactory that your salary is
raised to $1S per week."
She expressed her thanks and back
ed out, but scarcely had five minutes
passed when Klippert called her In to
asl, If she was satisfied with her sal
ary and to add before she could reply:
"You take hold of the work so well
that shall make your salary $40

His Denomination.

A man who had been playing golf
with a clergyman heard him swear
two or three times under his breath.
Suspecting the lapse, he could not be
sure of it until one monosyllable
came out with unmistakable clearness.
After he had finished the match
friend Of his said: II saw you play
ing just now with the Rev. Mr.. Dash.
OF what denomination is he?" "Some
people say he is a Congregationalist,"
replied his late opponent, ''but I should
call him a Profanitarian." -Argonaut

1fnl anything except as to strict bust
ness"
Klein had been in the habit Of leav-
ing the store every afternoon at half
past 4. On this occasion he hung
about until 5. Klippert and the en-
ployees left at half past 5. Klippert
sauntered after the new stenographer
to see what car she took. He had just
ascertained when he encountered his
partner. They eyed each other sus-
piciously for minute and then leo.
Each had a ready excuse on his
tongue. Next morning at the store
the senior partner called the junior
mariner into his room and gravely
said:
"NIr. Klippert, l should be grieved
TO know that you were following Miss
Williams to the car, but the more I
think Of it the more suspicious your
conduct appears"
But what were you doing there"
was promptly asked.
Business unconnected with the
store called me to the spot"
Same here"
"Um!'
"Umw
81 would suggest that neither Of us
ask the young lady to lunch. She
might misconstrue our action" =
"Just what 1 was about to suggest.
We will go out together. as hereto
fore"
But things ranked in the mind of
the senior partner. AS a matter OF
fact, he had gone to the car half an
hour ahead Of the girl to make sure
that she took the right one for home
the swamps and become a victim Of
the Black Handlers. The junior part
ner had come upon him and wronged
him in thought. He did the only thing
he could think of to get even. He
called Miss Rose in and raised her sal
airy to 500 week.
The Junior partner was not at all
satisfied with the situation. He had
followed the stenographer to the car
to see that the bookkeeper, who was
known to be a masher, didn't do the
same. There he had met his partner
and been looked at diStrustfully. In
wronging him the partner wronged
Miss Rose and he called her in and
dictated fictitious letter and added:
81 am pleased to say that our work
was never so well done before, and /
wish to inform you that your salary
has been advanced to $25 per week."
Miss Williams came to her place on
Wednesday. On Saturday afternoon
there was a half holiday. On Satur-
day afternoon also Mr.. Klein met Mr..
Klippert in the village where the
stenographer lived. Each was saun-
tering about when he met the other.
They came to a dead stop and giared
and scowled. Each wanted to ask the
other what he was doing there. but he
didn't ask. Klein finally took Kip
pert by the arm and walked him to
the car, and when both were seated
and headed for the city he said:
"Klippert. it's hard times in bust
ness"
"You betr'
1--WE don't need a stenographer."
"Not in the least"
1--WE can save that $25 per week"
every cent Of It,"
"And we will do iii"
1--WE will"
And on Monday morning Miss VIII
liams received a letter from the firm
that owing to her inexperience her
services would no longer be required.
