On one of these awfully cold nights
a man was Fastening across the public
square with his overcoat buttOned up
to his chin. He was rather anxious to
know what time it was, but he was too
lazy to open his coat In order to get at
his watch. Just then he saw q well
dressed man approaching and he re-
marked to himself: "This is cinch.
I'll cen ask yon genteel stranger what
time 1t is, and he will unbosoIn."
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was When he
came up the man who wanted to know
the time removed his hat politely and
said, "Sir. do you, know what time
1t is p
The stranger paused, removed his
right glove, unbuttoned his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttOned his under
coat and finally pulled out his watch,
while the chill wind cut into his I'M
protected chest Holding up the watch
so that the light would shine upon its
face for an instunt, he glanced ut it
and growled:
'Yes."
Then he passed on without another
word-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HUMOR or THE DAY
Hair Combinq Time.

Oh, dear. Oh dear-this hair Of minei
It's long and thick and curly,
And people seem to be possessed
To comb it late and early.
And. oh, my goodness. how 1t hurts!
That comb goes yanking through it,
And when l whimper mamma says:
why, child, I've got to do it!
Your hairs all snarled and tangled up.
Stand still. you silly goosie!
Now, If you jerk and whine like that
III have to spank you, Lucy!"
/
And that's the way 1t always goes. Z.
My curls are such a bother i.
I wish my hair would go away -.
And leave me bald. like father. ~

I'd like white and shiny head.
With hero and there some stubble.
I'd throw that old comb half mile
And stop this endless trouble.

Way Above Her.

It was during the rush hour last Sat urday night. A man and a girl got on a Euclid avenue car at the public square and succeeded in getting a whole seat Then the car filled up, and the standee opposite that seat couldn't help hearing a part of the conversa- ton. which was low. but i1npassfoned. The young man appeared to be plead ing for something; the girl was evil dently demurring.
 "PIease.'' he whispered, but she shook her head. At Fortieth street he was still begging. and then she grew firm-nay. naughty.
 Mo- she said ''I cannot. 1 might, Harold. but your station is too far above my ownT'
 We took that for false humility, but the event proved that she spoke the truth, for she got off at Fffty-hfth street, while he went on to One Hun dred and Fifth. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Tea Drinking as an Art.


 Hot China tea, neither too strong nor seewed, should be drunk slowly. Some people put a clove or two in their cup of hot tea. Sugar candy is often used instead of lump sugar, and there are sugar bonbons that dissolve quickly in tea and are popular.
 Some hostesses have their own sugar Jumps made with special coloE1ng and 1avoring to suit their individual tastes. There are balls of4white fondant strong ly favored with lemon or orange juice; others pink. favored with rose; violet, favored with Violets, and green balls that have maraschino cherry inside. Tea to be iced should be made rather stronger than for drinking hot When it has infused seven minutes pour it frSm the leaves and sweeten to taste and then stand it in refrigerator for seven hours. Serve in dainty glasses with a spoonful of vanilla cream on the top or else drop a small lemon wa ter ice into the glass.-London Mail. {

First use ot the peIlar MaT.t.


 The earliest known occurrence of the in print is in an American arith- metic, Chauncey Lees American Ac- comptant,'' published in 17e7 at Lan- gingburg. This fact was pointed out fin 1899 A recen4 writer again calls attention tp this arithmetic and then. with sweet simplicity of mind, con veys the idea that this publication constitutes the true origin of the dol lar mark. By this mental short cut be saved himself the drudgery of a research which. incur case, has ex- tended over several years. After 1900 the symbol began to be used freely, both in print and in writing. On Sept. %. 1902, William A. Washington wrote a letter OH the disposal of part of the bottom land above the Potomac, be- longing to the2esta tel of George Wash ington. In this letter there is mention of ''$2O.'' .'$3O'' and '-$4O' per acre. In this article it has been esta blished that the is the nneal descendant of the Spanish abbreviation ps for 'spe- sos,'' that the change from the flores cent ps to was made about 1775 by English-Americans who came in busi- ness relations with Spanish-Americans and that the earliest printed 5 dates back to the year 1T97.-Professor Flo rian Cajorf in Popular Science Monthly.

 They passed into the atelier. where the sculptor gave a few reparatory touches to the figure.
 Some days later she invited another sculptor to dinner. Again the atelier was visited. Not bad: not at all bad" {" said this artist. and generously gave the figure a few useful touches.
