EDITOR WAS AFTER MONEY
Thought He Saw More in Sight Than
Could Be Made Through the
Profits Of An Ad.

While in a small town in Indiana
a few years ago Booth Harrington
had the misfortune to lose two val
liable bird dogs. Thinking to ex-
pedite their return, he went at once
to the office of the one newspaper in
the town, where upon his inquiring
for the editor he was informed by
the sleepy, tousle-headed Office boy
that the editor was out. He then left
with the boy description of his pets
with an alluring offer of $50 for
their return, and after giving ex-
plicit instructions as to the position
he wished the "ad." to occupy, he de-
parted.
Anxious to know whether the office
boy had impressed the editor with
the seriousness Of the matter, he re-
turned to the Office few hours later
and was again greeted by the boy,
VINO, the only occupant OF the room,
was perched on a stove dreamily
gazing out the window.
"Where's the editor ?" asked Tark-
ington.
The boy leaned over and spat out
the window, then slowly turned to
the author.
"He's gone out tub hunt de dogs"
he said.-Cosmopolitan

MODEST GEORGE MOORE.

81 WONDER" says the author of
ESTHER Waters" complacently in
"The Apostle" just published in
Dublin, eff Paul has ever been seen
by any man as clearly as he has been
seen by me-" He paints fancy por-
trait Of the apostle and this is part
of his picture:
"a man of medium height, about
five feet eight or nine, a round head
covered with dark curly hair, short
neck, square shoulders, long body,
thick legs, with some belly under his
girdle. His large luminous eyes
often look into mine, and sometimes
he appears with his shirt OPEN"
The description is vivid in detail,
but not, we think, in good taste !;
and was not st. Paul short sighted?

JOAQUIN MiLLER'S HOME.

Many years ago, soon after Joa-
quin Miller had settled in his pres
ent home, ''The Heights" 1 asked
him where he lived. His reply came
promptly: "Three miles east, one
perpendicular In that expression
you have a graphic, symbolic state
ment of Joaquin's mental habitat.
He lives nearer the rising sun than
most people and his normal dwelling
place is "a mile perpendicular" His
nest is on "The Heights" his eye
far seeing, blue, prophetic, keen,
kind; and his soul attuned, when he
sings, to the harmony of the spheres.

UNPOPULAR TAX.

Among other unpleasant taxes
there used to be a tax upon the Eng
fish hearth. In 1862 it was ordered
that "hearth money" 90 cents,
should be collected for each house
holder for the privilege Of warming
his feet. This, too, on each hearth
fire or stove in his house. 1t was not
a popular tax. 1t was hard to evade.
The tax collector was given power to
count the chimneys from the inside
of the house, and ,himneys, unlike
windows, cannot be blocked up and
concealed until the assessor has
taken their number. The tax was
collected with vigor until William
III. repealed it, Gin order to erect a
lasting monument of their majesties'
goodness in every hearth in the king

Man Who Succeeds IL Not He Who
Spends the Working Hours
IN Generation.

] Conversation has lost many a man
his job. The man who spends part
Of his working hours in conversation
{ decentralizes his energies, weakena
his ability to concentrate and pours
sand into the machinery Of the instr
tuition.
The man who puts "the punch"
into his work is not the man who
gossips with the man at the neigh
boring desk, or who hangs around
corridors and corner cigar stores in
dulging in idle conversation.
The man who makes the toilet
room of an office building a social
resort never gets to the top Of the
ladder. The toilet room orator may
be popular with the drones of the in
stitution, but it is always observed
that he has neither influence nor
money to lend. He is generally the
kind of man who tries to use "pull"
to get a raise.
Failure in life is the result of the
abuse of opportunity and malinger-
ing. 1t is the man who keeps busy
who keeps healthy, and only the
healthy in mind and body rise to the
top.
Some men are so busy looking for
help that they forget to help them
selves.
The only "pulI" that counts in
getting closer to the goal of success
is the "pulP that comes from per-
sonal effort on ones own behalf, abil-
ity and push.
The man who expends his energies
in expatiating on the merits of this
or that baseball club robs himself of
the energy required to seize opportu-
mites and advance.-The Mediator.
