YOUNG MAN TWICE MISTAKEN
Addressed as Salesman In Hat Store

Tip at Restaurant.

81 forgot to have my initials put In
a new hat that I bought last week"
said Mr.. Burlington, "and so passing
that way today, I stopped In at the
store.
"a little back from the door saw
q tall, straight, trinity attired young
man standing there, hatless, looking
toward the front, and to him said.
at the same time holding out my hat:
"'Will you please put my initials
in this hat?'
"'Well, I'd be glad to do that for
you,' the tall young man said, but
am waiting here to have the initials
put in my own hat And he said this
smiling, and with absolute good
humor.
''Then found a salesman who took
my hat; and when / ventured to ex-
press to the tall young man my regret
over having made such a mistake In
first addressing him he said 1t was all
right, and told little story of Il some

SERVANT" AN ABUSED WORD
President Of United States, Heads Of
Banks, Ministers, Physicians,
Are In Same Class.

II Is pity that we have allowed OPP
probrium to attach to the good old
word servant" opprobrium utterly un-
merited. Talk about "help," or the lat
est equivalent, "maid," used quite in
appropriately, says the Youths Com
panion, does not alter circumstances
In the least, nor Is there any reason
why we should wish them altered.
Every one who is worth anything is
servant. The merchant serves his
customers. If he serves them not wei,
they discharge him. The lawyer serves
his clients, the minister his parishion-
ers, the doctor his patients. The presi-
dent of bank is a servant. and so is
the president of railway. The presi-
dent Of the United States Is the hired
servant of the people Of the United
States, and few servants in any occu-
patton are more abused by their mas
tiers.
Service, well and faithfully per-
formed, Is the only real dignity, and
all the outward pomp and insignia of
rank are but badges of service, and
disgraceful If they are not earned.
Service Is life. 1t Is only when we
are doing something to serve the large
movement of the world what we are
entitled to live in 1t, that we really do
live in it. Life is measured by useful
ness. OF all the varied affliction that
swift-footed age can bring, none is
more oppressive than the sense of d.
mlnished capacity for service.
Not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, not to be served, but to serve,
is the utterance of the highest author
ity In spiritual matters. There is but
one disgrace connected with service of
any kind, and that is to serve i'll. Let
us perform whatever service falls to
us, large or small, high or low, with all
the zeal and all the strength that is in
us. Then we shall be sure that when
we depart we shall be missed, If only
a little; and there is no more solid
in the world than that.

GAMES OF SIAMESE KlDDlES
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay DoIlies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up in
: the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot of the ladder
for the house is built on posts-to a
large jar Of water with coconut

hands and rubbing them over her face.
she needs no towel, for the water is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for 1t Is
all shaved except little tuft on the
top Of the head, and that is tied In

which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried In the sun. Little images Of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls.
The boys of Siam are very fond of
pitching coins, and spend much Of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are In
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
AS the streets in Siam are almost
all rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and girls early learn to row, and pad
die their little boats almost as soon as
they learn to swim, which they do
when they are only four or five years
old.

cat, Puddles, emulated In his peculiar
way the fishing skill Of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. auckland
said:
He was the wonderfullest water

harbor, was Puddles. He used to go
out a-fishin' with me every night. Cold
nights he would sit in my lap while /

wrap him up In the sail and make him
lie quiet. He'd lay down on me when
was asleep, and If anyone come he'd

a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till went back and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat, and then he was quite happy.
When it was fine he used to stick
up at the bow Of the boat and sit a
watchin' the dogfsh. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive in and fetch 'em out,
damned in his mouth, just as If they
was a parcel of rats. He looked ter

in his teeth.

Il was called by the aboriginal inhab-
