Never at a LosS.

An English nobleman was recently
visiting New York and at a dinner
there he told, apropos of self conf
dence, a story about young English
statesman. @sef.'ti
This youth" his iordship said,
sought to get on. He works hard and
nothing ever feaZes him.
"Ie wanted recently TO push a bill
that had little support from his own
party. A friend. however, said to him
in warning voice:
"'But suppose, my boy, this bill
should cause your party to throw you
oVerboardP
"'Well. in that case, old chap he re-
piled, I'm quite sure I'd have strength
enough to swim across to the other
side Washington Star.

the ash barrel but because you plan TO go
through them some day and decide which
are worth mending and which are beyond re-
pair. One of the trifies you can do any time
like looking through your doilies and de-
termining which can be caught up with a
stitch or darned and which are only At to
be laid aside for old linen. Your towels and
bed clothing need a similar inspection, and
when you have done 1t there will be a parcel
OF worn pieces that would be boon to some
invalid, but the work or putting II up and
sending it off is one of those miserable /" lit
tie things " you will give the 60 by!
