By CLARISSA MACKIE

They had both arrived at the front
door at the same instant. The maid
mad carried their cards away in friend
~ unison on the silver plate, and the
two young men sat in the drawing
room and glared at each other across
the space that separated them.
Neal Winfred was handsome in a
blond way. and James Standish was
quite as good looking at the other ex-
treme of dark eyes and hair. In char.
acter there was not much to choose be.
tween them. They were both straight.
forward, clean hearted young men. and
they both loved Geraldine Stone to des-
peration.
Geraldine was happy medium of
bronze brown eyes and hair, and fate
might have chosen her as foil for
either one of her suitors. For months
they had haunted the house. doggedly
calling on the same evenings. each one

People who were present smiled at
the little passage of arms which took
place between two young ladies at
luncheon. One of them, a bride, shak-

A story of Whistler's ingenuity in
getting rid of troublesome neighbor
is told by A. ]. Eddy in his "Recollec.
tions and Impressions" Of the famous
artist. While residing in Venice an
elderly countess moved into an apart.
ment immediately below that occupied
by Whistler. Her noise, fussiness and
goings to and fro annoyed the artist
very considerably, so much so, in fact,
that he made up his mind to drive her
away. An opportunity presented itself
one very hot day. The countess put q
Jar of goldfish ON the balcony immedl'
ately beneath bis window. During her
absence Whistler tied bent pin to a

TO turn and then dropped them back
into the jar again. When the countess

A POOR TYPE OF CITIZEN.

The Good Man Who Lives by and Ex.
elusiveIy For Himself.
I know certain type Of man who
poses as a good citizen, says Bert
Walker. He breaks no laws. lives
morally, pays his honest debts and Is
never tangled up in lawsuits But he
lives of himself, by himself and for
himself only.
When q call is issued for volunteers
to take hold Of the car Of progress and
give lift he never answers. When
calamity has befallen people in GER
tain locality and charitable humanity
flies to their rescue he is never one OF
their number. When money is needed
to gid the spire Of public enterprise
his name is never on the list. When
he sees some neighbor stuck in the
mud he goes around to avoid him. In
fact, were he standing on the shore
and should observe the ship Of state
fast sinking in the surf, never life
line would he throw. He didn't bore
the hole In the side Of the vessel that
let's in the water, SO 1t is none of his
concern what happens.
But were all mankind made Of this
kind Of clay have you ever thought
what would happen? There would be
no churches. no hospitals for the sick,
no institutions for the unfortunate nor
rest rooms for the weary. Civilization
would roam in jungles and the strong
est would rule He is not good citi-
zen, but gets mad If you say so.-Kan-

Who Bides His Time.

Who bides his time day by day,
Faces defeat full patiently
And lifts a mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortunes be,
Or poverty. The paltry dfn,~,
1t will grow golden In his palm
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time, he tastes the sweet
OF honey In the safest tear,
And. though he fares with slowest feet,
Joy runs to meet him drawing near.
The birds are heralds of his cause,
And. like never ending rime,
The roadside blooms in his applause
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel wrought
With crimson berries in the leaves.
And he shall reign a goodly king
And sway his hand Der every cline,
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.
