''No," aihvvered the man, "wh.it nliyiild

"I duti't know mid I don t care; that

I don't know aujthiu about that

Then the C!inti:iii did what nonie pco

The coin was duly handed over and it
was not lonr dufure the one who had

"Vou did not lake it, did you, Juhu?"
anxiously imjuiivd tie wife.
'Ves, i Inn 1 did," unwered l)er hus-

''Ves, forecrtain it was the devil; it

It soon happened as the preacher in

Accordingly Juhu went uud tound

lie is a familiar figure in almost every
business house the old clerk. White
haired, lliiu, with eluUms (hat are always
uf decent blaek and sertipulously brushed
he has sat behind the same desk or stood
behind the same uounter fur dear knows
how tn any years, growing thinrit-r and
older as the lime went by. .Some
times we meet him in tho early morning
going down to ulhvo or store, walking
tht) s .me route be has trod fur -! or .'Kt
years with a regularity so perfect that
the very policeman on the heat might
set bis watch by his tuuvemeuls: Often,
late ut night, when we ure goiug home
from the theater we see him through the
iron grouted, window still bending over
Ins lodger, for lie works slowly uowduys
aud must work overtime to make up his
accounts. His eyes are growing dim and
he fumbles with bis glasses, his hands are
losing their trick of deft peumauabip,
aud bis bruin its swiftness, He docs Dot
uodcrstuud it, but the fly boys all about
him, young enough to be his sons, ru-di
through their tasks and are out ami
gone while he is still laboring over bis.
Slowly but surely it is being bunie in
on him that he cannot compete with
them.
Iu the manager's ofliee he is already
becoming a problem. Customers have
begun to complaiu of his tdowuess. A
mari not intentionally cruel, called out
that be wutited somebody who was alive
to wait on him, out that old fossil. A
woman complained that he had not
matched a s imple and asked why they
kept blind people. The oil clerk beard
them, audit sounded like tho knell id
bis own lorehijiling thoughts. Ho kouw.s
that the time is uomiug when he must
go. Ho has seen it happen before with
others. First be will bo retired to some
oilier department, with less work and
loss pay. They will remember for u
time the many years of faithful service
in which be has seen the firm grw from
small beginnings to prescut, wealth.
1 hen alter a tune they will lorgct
even that, and one day when he h is been
slower than usual or sjiii ; mistake has
passed unnoticed by his dim eyes th.'y
will send for him to come to tho presi

so be bungs about the store after be is
dismissed, walking by it through sheer
force of habit. To others it a eimuiiu

is the mausoleum where lies buried his

A negro's juicy appreciation

recent occasion when u lady wilh whom
the narrator acijuaiuicd paid a viit to
NewOrbani. She told him tho Mory.
She was walking down Chartius sireii
curly one iiinrninu', iuiending to vi-it the
ci lebrati d l'rt neli market uf the Crescent
city, and on her way .she nu t a very old
colored man coining frmi the opposite
direction, evidently from the market, as
he was carrying in one han 1 a posuui
and in the other a small split wouden
basket uf sweet potatoes. The old man's
face was beaming witb ggod nature, and
wreathed in smiles of anticipatory plum
ule.. He looked ho joyously into the
lace of the lady that she, too, iMuId llut
help but smile at him, whereupon he
held the possum up alul't aud said, ' (Jood
eatiu missy, gi(uJ ealiu." She stopped
for a uiumcut, looked at the eh iidiike,
happy face of ibe old negro nnd said,
o you like possum, do you? '
"Like p i-suill missy! I I.)WS p 'S-UUI.

Well, then, tell me haw you cook it,"
she said.
The old man set tho possum aud po
tatoes down on the pavement, or as they
call it io New Orleans, the ''banquet,"

began witb: l-oW, duti't you novel

Mary had a little lamb

Andeverywhtr'' that Mary went

Its fleece is1 still as white as snow,

And, now she'd rather walk three

Than face that lamb alone.

Margaret Ogilvy void d the umittered

confessed, wil.li a -jiiaintness ull her own,
how she would have liked it bud this or

IJreatiiess, to be siir.1, is u it roved alone
in the smoke of battle or in the dangers
uf warlike adventures, but fur all lhat it
is iu times of war that we see tho great
est uf all spMaelrs among men that
of one. who counts his life ns nothing
when ho can lay it down for the sake of
another.
War brings us many evils, but it gives
us many ideals ideals like guiding stars,
to which the new ;cneraiiuii u ut hitch
their chariots or perish. How can the
mothers of today resist them? How can
they look to antliini: else from their
sons? How can they be without lhat
gladness whieh nj lices when u son is
born into tho world? For just such u
possibility lie in their uwu babes the
uuwelcume babes, tho babes lhat arc
dreaded, the babes that nro never talked
about as lay in those who have lived to
prove their greatness today.
Among certain orthodox Jews every
woman looks to the possibilities of her
being the mother of that redeemer who
has beeu promised to lu r race, and gov
erns her life iu accordance. Perhaps if
among us the possibility uf our children,
being built id' such hi roic stutT as that of
which llobsju and his fellow vulunteeis
weteiuado were ufteiierin tho mother's
heart, wo would hear less uf the tired
ones, the impatient, the bowtd, the re
bellious, ur even the ignorant. Harper's
