home was very simply furnished.
She said, we have no business liv-
ing in this expensive neighborhoo6:
we couldn't do it, in fact, only | rent
rooms enough to more than pay the
rent. Now three of my four room
ers are out of work and do not
know how long they will stay. The
latest blow is that Will has been
given months notice. The COM
pany is retrenching and he is the
! newest man in the office. What we
are going to do can't imagine
"Aunty, when | saw that girlish
wife and mother in such trouble /
was all broken up. Then she went
on with her story, saying:
You know my people opposed
my marriage. l was only nineteen,
just the age when a girl knows more
than she ever will again, and she
laughed, her voice breaking in a
half sob. SO l refused to listen to
, reason, and-well, we ran away and
were married. 1t about broke my
parents hearts. Why are girls SO
blind?' she added IF | had been
willing to wait till Will got on his
feet, got something ahead, they
would not have objected, l am sure.
When they saw / really loved him,
that would have been enough. 1t
was my happiness they had at heart.
The shock broke mothers health. and
father had to wind up his business
at loss and take her to California.
If can only keep them from know
ing how things are with US / can
stand it all right, but after all the
trouble have caused them already
l simply can't tell them of our finan-
cial straits. Will feels about it just
as do. He says he's simply got to
make good to Justify my choice Of
him. Nothing short of baby's suffer-
ing will make me apply to them.'
"1sn't life hard?" added Gertrude
thoughtfully, as she finished the
story.
Eyes, very hard for most of us, but
If it develops us it hasn't failed of
its purpose. Probably nothing else
would have developed the loving
thought of her parents. Like most
girls, she was barbarously selfish,
intent on having her own way, come
what would. hope she won't make
the mistake of breaking down her
health with insufficient food and
overwork. That would give the fin

old lady.
"But you can see how her pride
would suffer, if she had to appeal to
them for help" returned the girl.
THAT'S it. l hope it will not be
left to pride to decide. She owes it
to them to let no permanent injury

SEVEN RULES OF LIFE.

IF your Office is in a skyscraper you
see lots of funny things-firtations
and even fist fights-on the fiat roofs
below YOU" said man whose busi-
ness eyrle is on the thirty-first floor
of the Singer Building.
About / o'clock last Saturday after
noon I spent an interesting 10 minutes
watching through my field glasses-1
always do keep 'em on my desk-one
OF the prettiest prize fights that ] ever
saw. 1t was an amateur AFFAIR, OF
course, but I've paid many $5 note
to see worse.
Il had finished my ways work and
everybody had gone home. ! was gaz-
ing idly out of the window across the
roofs when | saw half dozen men
appear on the broad graveled top of
the Silversmith's Building. One Of
them carried a pail of water, another
had an armful of office building tow
els. Two of the other four appeared
to be the spectators or promoters Of
the affair.
"1n jiffy two of the men stripped
off their upper garments until they
stood in their undershirts and trou-
sers. The men shook hands in the
regulation style, and then they waded
into each other hammer and tongs.
One of the bystanders held a watch
and the other refereed the fight. The
rounds were two minutes long and
there was action a-plenty every Sec
ond The batlers did not know much
about boxing. They appeared to be
clerks who had decided to adjust some
grudge by force OF arms. What they
lacked in skill they more than made
up in the savageness OF tie attacks.
There was no holding on. no run
ming about or sparring for wind 1t
WAS just punch, punch, punch. Inside
the first minute blood was flowing
from each mans nose. and when the
Initial round was ended they were
pretty well out of breath. There was
no need for the seconds to fan them
with towels or spray water over them,
for the wind was blowing brisl1ly.
Their faces were bathed hurredly. and,
the one minute of intermission over,
they went at pummeling each other
again.
THE fight lasted for four rounds
and then a lucky swing sent one OF
the contestants to the grass-T mean
the gravel. The referee counted him
out, and the remainder OF the bucket
OF water dashed in to his face brought
him to. All the fight was gone out
of him, and the two men shook hands
most amicably and put on their coats.
Then everybody vanished into the
building again. l am going to stay
at the office every Saturday afternoon
in the future to see if l can get any
more such free entertainment New

DR.. P. ]. O'Connell, city physician,
found he was suffering from cold and
exposure. He gave him some medicine
and told him to keep quiet by the big
stove until he felt better.
"Just wandering, me and the
horses" he explained, "go from town
to town. Play my hand organ for the
children; sometimes l sing little.
Out In Kansas and down in Old Mizoo
everybody knows George Knapp"
He said he had lost his money, lost
his crops and finally decided to take
the wagon and team and go from place
to place as a minstrel. Then came the
cold weather. They heard him singing
during the night. At 4 o'clock they
looked in. He was dead. DR.. j. Davis,
coroner, ordered the body taken to the
undertaking rooms. The old man had
said he had some relatives who lived
near Wellington, Mo. He was rs years
old.

of them died at about the same hour
that the master passed to the beyond.
