"I wish men di J not think I could
Jrink tenglasst'S of soda water and cat four
or five luncheons every day," sighed a
very jirctty girl at ono of the noonday
rests the other afternoon.
"If you wore a littlu bit homelier you
wouldn't havo liny trouble," replied her
companion, to whom the complaint was
made,
Ves, sometimes it is a detriment to be
nice looking," was the answer, but as she
gave herself a glance of satisfaction in
t lie mirror as she arranged her new sailut
hat she did not look as though she would
bo willing to give up ono bit uf her beau
)' 'Here I have been hunting a job for
a month," confided the other girl, "and
just because I am a plain looking girl I
can't get one."
The pretty one looked at her as though
to dispute this assertion, but as it was so
evident she thought better of her wish
to bo consoling and agreeable and ignored
the fact entirely by saying:
"Well, don't you sec that is why I
have all these itivitalions to eat ice cream
and to luncheou? Just because I hap
pen to have had a beautiful mother and
had the luck to have inherited her good
looks I have got te be pestered to death
by a lot of men I dou't care a soap of
my finger for."
"And you get a better salary than I
ever got, too," returned the plain girl.
"Oh, yes; that is one good thing. I
do get a salary."
'Well, it isu't fair," said the girl who
was looking for a position. "I am just
as good a stenographer us you are, and
I know I write faster on the machine
than you do, and yet I never get as much
by hull' a week as you do, and now I
can't get anything."
"Oh, d"u't worry; you will get s-oiuc-thing
prelly voun. All men don't want
girls lor i lu-ir looks alonu."
" Hut a glance in tlu day luncheon
chilis provided for the working girls ol
ChiiMo did not confirm her statement.
A s(r.ll near any one of these resorts,
wh. re so many stenographers and type
writers gather from 12 to 2 o'clock each
(by, will show that the greater niimbi r
of I he young girls ami women who have
chiw n this sort of clerical work as a
means of g iining their livelihood are not
only good looking; but many of them are
beautiful. And when one has business
with nny of the great mercantile houses
of Chicago the same thing is sure to be
notel, that the women who are employed
as am muesi'S are sure to be handsome,
well dressed ones. In the offices in the
Lio ird of trade sbuilding this is particular
ly noticeable, and in all the government
positions where stenographers are em
ployed one is sure, to find a pretty girl,
aud frequently a beautiful one.
TI UXKH DOWN UVMl".
When New York was sull'ering from
au epidemic of diphtheria, the board ol
health decided lli.il its presence was to
b attributed to the fumes of a kerosene
lamp tuined down low more than to any
other single cause. Whether or not this
be so, it eeitainly is a mistaken kindness
on the part of an indulgent mother to
allow a lamp to remain in a child's bed
room with the fl ime turned down. A
turned down kerosene lamp is a magazim
of dead. y gas, to which the strongest
lungs eannot be safely exposed. New

The western sky was glorious that
evening; purple and gold and crimson
and yet low, all mingled their colors to
make a glorious sunset. And the crim
son and purple and gold raysstoaped and
kissed the trembling grass aud the shin
ing blue hells, and touched each ripple
in the tiny stream till Aladdin's l'alaec
was not inure beauteous. Aud over it
all tied east a mantle of holy calm, like
a strain of silent music nut of one of His
heavenly songs, and the very breize
hushed its sighing and died away as if
afraid to breathe and spoil His work.
The bees busy hum was over for the
day and the last bird gave one Irightened
twitter, and then, as if afraid to be alone
spread his wings and sought a hiding
place in a golden fum bush; and the
rabbits and tiny field mice curled in their ,
nests and slept, and all things were full
of peace.
And many a lover turned his eyes for
a moment at bis sweetheart's whisper to
"look at the sky," and gazed and gazed
till he almost forgot the one he loved
was by his side; and to many a sorrow
bound heart the sight of Ood's linger
touching all things with glory, brought
calm and peace, as it spoke to them ol a
land of rest and joy.
But there was little of peace and joy
to be read there by little Elizabeth. Her
mother dying, bad left her an unwelcome
burden to the parish. "Only a (lypsy
child" people called her; so there was
nothing but drudgery and blows and
blows and beggary and glances which
spoke of anything but love of peaco.
So that glorious sky told of no love as
she went on her evening errand, for she
didn't know what it meant. But she toiled
wearily down the grassy path toward the
spring, where every tiny green blade
sprang up to greet the rosy light, and
stood erect, as if to try and see more of
the western glory than its fellows. And
then Elizabeth sat down to rest.
It was the only time in the day when
she could rest without the tetror of being
disturbed by auury scoldings or worse
but she dared not slay very long but
to night she was worn out from much
work and little to cat. So she sat her
down and rested her thin face in her
thin little hand, and put her sharp el
bo V, which peered blue ami bare through
her torn sleeve, on the sunset green turf
And then she gazed mid gaz 'd aeioss
the grass and the little wood and the tiny
rippling stream, away and away to the
bars of glory in the sky.
And the little blades of grass each
wept a tiny drop of dew as they lookul
at lux wasted young face and her tired
ejpressi in. And as she gaz 'd those
wonderlul bars ol light seemed changed,
so that she forgot her errand aud her
mistress. And if you had passed by
then you would have seen a look in her
eyes like that in the eyes of one who sees
wl at is is too beautiful to express. Eur
the crimson and gold seemed like the
gateway of a lovely palace all of scarlet
and blue aud purple and yet of none of
these. And presently the great gate
swung open as the colors changed,
and. One in white camo and stood
in the opeii gateway, and He hail a
crown of shining gold and he stretch
ed out His hand aud took hers, and
Elizabeth went with him gladly.
And the bars of crimson and g ild
changed, deeper and deeper, till at last
they laded away as alt thiiigs fair lieie
fade and the quiet night came in their
place, and the blinking stars like angels'
eyes luokcd don oil the sleeping grass
aud the little wood and the village too
and they blinked and blinked again as
they saw themselves iu ilio tiny stieaiulei.
liul Klizibeth's eyes still look on and
on into thodirk, dear niht, till at length
the crimson aud gold came back, but not
iu the West; and the stars, tired of blink
ing, shul tlo ir eyes as I ho round faced
sun el not I his luiii l up out of
the cast and combed bis golden locks
till tiny stream, d over hill and dale, and
over the little bill b bind I lie stream, mid
Ivll on the place wlere Elizibelh lay
last night, Hut she was not there. She
had gone through the golden gale, and
all that the sun found I ln io was her rags
aud p.ilu and thin, worn limbs which she
hud carried so bravely until she bid
theui down aud rusted for evermore.
And then by and by people gathered
round her form as people do, whispeiing
in hushed, sulemii tones, as if not to wake
her. Hut they need not have feared, for
it would need the voice of greater One
to do that.
And they told Elizibeth's mistress
that Elizibeth was "d,oai," for you see
they did "t know how Eliubcth hud
gone iu through those gales und left
death and drudgery behind forever.

I'ncle DiilT, hearing the noise, began
to pray; Aunt Saluda joined him fervent

fifteen cannon thundered together,
over beyond the bridge, and a flight of
.-hells in the air made a prolongod whir
ring noise, followed presently by a rapid
spluttering of musketry in tho woods at
the lower edge of the plantation. The
regiment went across the field at double
ipiick step, knocking over the fences as
they came in the way.
"Oh, good Lo', ef ye kin spa' de ole

Uncle Duff, but his prayer was interrup
ted by au explosion on both sides of the
river, lival batteries thundering at one
another, aud opposing lines of infantry
exchanging long rolling volleys.
Mrs. Earrow saw tho cavalry scurry
away from tlieir lurking place under the
river bunk and disappear in the woods,
while four or live heavy field guns, drawn
by panting and overworked horses, trun
dled rapidly along the red clay road, the
drivers whipping and swearing.
After a lew rounds there came a short
lull in the bombardment, during which a
singular serenity pervaded the uir and

' I 'lease state to the court exactly what
you did between 8 and ! o'clock on
Weduesdny morning," said a lawyer to a
delicate looking little woman on the wit

'Well," she said after a moments
reflection, "I washed niy two children
and got them ready fir seh-iol ami sewtd
a button on Johnny's coat and nietid.d a
rent in Nellie's dress. Then I tidied up
my sitting room and made two beds and
watered my house plants and glanced
over the morning paper. Then I dusted
my pari ir and set things to lights and
washed some lamp chimneys and combed
my baby's hair and sewed a button on
one of her little shoes, and then I swept
out my front entry and brushed and put
away the children's Sunday clothes and
wrote a note to Johnny's teacher asking
her to excuse him for not being at school
on Friday. Then I fed my canary bird

WHAT TO SAY.
One is always expected to say some
thing when looking for the first time on
a now baby, and as it is neither kind nor
safe to tell the truth uud say that the
little, red pudgy creature don't look like
anything, we give a list of unpatented
and uncopyrightc.l remarks to used on
such occasions:
"Well, i-n't he cunning? He looks like
you!"
"I think he's going to look like his
fuller'"
'Hasn't he dear little lingers? Do let
me s 'c his little toes!"
'Nn'l he lalL'e?''
"Isn't he a tiny darling?"
"How blight he seems!"
' Did you eVi r see such a sweet little
mouth?"
"1-n'l heju-t too sweet for anything?"
"The dear little darling! I never saw
so young a baby look around so."
'O please, please, let llio hold ll i 111 just
a minute!"
Any and all of these remark are war
ranted to give satisfaction just as they
have been giving satislaeti, hi from time

"Speaking of practical jokes," said a
drummer at one of the hotels the other
night, "I was the victim of one of the
most embarrassing I have heard of for a
long time. It was during my first trip
south, aud not being familiar with the
people in this part of the country I
thought I had found a really sociable
place when three young 'swells' of the
town with whom I bad been talking the
evening before asked me to go with them
to a dance that was to be given at a
female seminary a few miles from this
city. 1 had been away from home for
some lime, and not having bad the
pleasure of being in the company ol
young ladies I was fairly delighted at
the idea of spending a pleasant evening.
"I told them I would be pleased to
go, and after hurried preparation we
started. The young men laughed at the
idea of my paying anything toward the
carriage hire, and I felt that I bad never
been iu the company of a more hospita
ble set of men.
"When wc arrived at the place, the
dance had already begun. We left the
eaniage in care of a negro man and en
tered the ballroom. Of course I felt very
strange at first among so may strangers,
but my companions seemed to feel quite
at homo und insisted that I should meet
some of the young women at once. One
of the young men took me by the arm
and led me across the room to where
there sat a young woman who was rather
pretty and had an cxtrctuely neat appearance.
"Alter receiving an introduction to
her I sat down and started a cotiversa-
tii.n. Soon she was talking at an aston.
ishingly rapid rate. I became rather
interested in the girl, but was very niucli
surprised to learn that she was the
twentieth daughter of a wealthy farmer,
At last she began to talk and laugh so
loudly thut I began to feel a little
etnbatra-sed and asked her if she did nut
want to dance. She was on her feet in
an instant, and we had danced a few
steps when she suddenly yelled out at the
top of her voice: 'Don't! Don'tl Oh, don't
hold me so tight! I urn full of dyna
mite.' And she uttered a yell that mad
the cold emus run up and down my
back.
"I turned her loose in an instant and
slood simply horrified. I I'eit like swear
ing when the other people in the room
only laughed and went on dancing. 1
did net know what to do. I knew 1
had done nothing I should not nave
done, intentionally at lea.-t, but I started
up to her with an apology, when one ol
my companions came up with a young
woman on his arm. Ho gave me mi
introduction to her and asked me it 1
would not dance the next set with
her. I did not feel like dancing a bit,
but there was no way of getting out ol
it, so I told him I would. While wc
were sitting down waiting for the next
dance she told tile she hud been married
1 I times aud had 1,11011 children at
home. I thought she was just trying to
joke me and asked her where she lived.
She said she lived ill lu.ivt.ii. I knew
something was wrong wi'h her, and 1
made up my mind right there that 1
would not dunce with her. I asked her
to excuse me a moment, and without
waiting for a reply rushed across the
room toward the door. I thought to
myself that if I once got on the outside
I Would ni'Vir allend another 'swell
dance' iu Kentucky.
" I had got within a few feet of the
door when un old woman ran up and
threw hi r arms around my neck. She
yelled out that I was her lost son, who
ran away from lioinu Hill years ago,
when 1 was a mere child. I tried to
tear myself awny from the woman, and
she laiuted at my I'eel. I made a dart
for th" do,. r, and when I leached the

persons carrying lit r ufl'lhe floor. I was
dazed. I cxpeeti d to be urresled every

him il'lhcio was not a train leaving that
place soon. He said there would be one
going to Louisville iu about an hour,
and I concluded to wait around the lit
tle station until it w is' ready to leave. I
do not remcmbei lo l ave ever beard a
more welcome sound than the whislle ol'
that train, after spending an hour in
silent misery. I reached niy hotel in
this city shortly after midnight, but
could not sleep. 1 had learned tm I he
train that I had been lo an insane
asylum ball, and I was as mad as a hor
net. "The next morning tho young ineu
came around to the hotel and apologized,
and now they are the best friends I have
in this cilv." Louisville Courier-Journal.
