"Ye" blamed fool!" said a voice: "move out o' t way!" and Jake Bur roughs big frame pressed through the crowd, ladder In hand, which ho straightway reared against the bouse end, and buckets of water soon passed up in quick succession. Inside, Mrs.' Keary, her thick voice strained to its highest nasal extremity, kept up a discharge of small shot at every suggestion of helpfulness from those" she looked upon as unwarrantable Intruders, as she oscillated in j rapid jerks be tween her oven and the tiny counter where the children' were crowding, bent on making heoric attempts to save the candies at ait costs. ' Seeing tbe fire in spite of all their efforts was spreading on the roof several men strode in to rescue the furniture. ' .

"Come, Mis' Keary come," be said, "else you'll be burnt up." Mrs. Keary still hung back, but a crackling overhead and a sweep of blinding smoke and flame convinced her at' last that the house was being burned about her ears. Utterly re gardless of danger to ' herself, she flashed round and darted to the stairway and was half way up and creaming: "My feather beds an' pillersl- Why ain't nobody reskled 'em?" before Jake seized her, dragged her back and out into tbe road away from the burning mass. . Outside, red and angry like a rui fled hen, gown and apron wet with the dripping water and face smudged with the blinding smoke she had met on the stairs, Mrs. Keary stood like one at bay.'

First TTas Ails ta Csrss.s.y m &atar Kabsnaaasf Drnty I -aU. m aUbbs IVs tray ta Cp A good story is told by ono of the elerksof a hotel near the treasury on a bride and groom who were here a few days ago from a western state. The clerks at this hotel hare ac quired a national reputation for their ability to "spot" bridal parties im mediately on their arrival. It ap pears to make no dlfleremce how calm and composed the groom may endeavor to appear, or how absolute ly at home the bride seems, the clerks have some means of ascertain ing that the couple has not been traveling in double harness very long. .When the bride and groom referred to arrived at this hotel the other day, the clerk on duty hap pe4pd to notice that the gentleman paid, the cabman who brought him from the depot two fares. The lady, of course, stopped in the parlor, while the gentleman walked up to the desk in the office and ner vously wrote his name on tho reg ister. The clerk waited a few seconds to see whether the guest had any ad ditions to make on the book, and then Inquired, politely: "Haven't you forgotten some thing?" "How's that?" said the man, his face Pushing and bis head drooping low on his breast, "Are you traveling alone now?" questioned the clerk, smiling sig nificantly at the embarrassed guest. "No, of course not." stammered the man, as he grabbed the pen again. "How very stupid of me!" And he added the words "and wife" to his signature on the, register. "You see," continued the guest, "this is the first time I ever wrote that, and I am not used to It yet." "Oh, you 11 catch on to these little things before long," replied the clerk, as he assigned tbe couple to the bri dal apartments, "and then youll wonder how you ever managed to live singly so long." j In another uptown hotel a groom recently became very indignant be cause the clerk ; insinuated that he was a newly married man. "How did you know I had just been married?" thundered the angry guest, who thought he had success fully concealed the fact from every body . "Oh, I didn't know it," replied the clerk, calmly, "but the chambermaid said she swept up a quart of rice off the floor of your room this morning, and I noticed a lot of white ribbon tied to your trunk when the porter carried it up to your room yester day.'

Whan Attention Is Called to Some thing Wrong About Her Dress. If there is anything more exas perating than another, and one par ticularly calculated to turn tbe milk of human kindness into gall, It Is the ungrateful, ungracious behavior of people who are told In all kindness that some part of - their dress is out of order. It would seem that no one could possibly feel otherwise than grateful for such a hint, yei everyone knows how, more than once, the well-meant word concerning the one sided bonnet, the yawning placket or the ripped braid is met with flash ing eyes and scornful words. This would appear to be a chance for the "do as you would like o be done by" maxim to be put Into force; but many a conscientious woman has vowed never1 no. never to take a chance ot another such snubbing as followed her , last .well-meant en deavor to help a fellow mortaL Last week, a gentle, sweet-faced woman stopped a feminine shopper on Tre mont street who was trailing a yard of skirt braid at her heels with: "Pardon me, madam, the braid on your dress is dragging. May I pin It up' for your Did the woman overwhelm ber with expressions of gratitude? Not she! She fixed a stony stare upon the speaker and said, in the tones a Vers de Vers might use In addressing a presuming scullery maid: "You need not trou ble yourself. I don't wish to have It f)inned up." Then . she swept on, earing the . conscientious woman, pin in hand, and with a deep red flush painfully burning on ber gentle face. Whertthe lady recovered her breath she registered a vow that. If she were forgiven this offense, never again would she do another good natured thing. Boston Courier. In the beginning God made Adam out of the earth, but he did not make Glus-kabe, (the Indian, god). Glus-kabe made himself out of the dirt that was kicked up in tbe crea tion of Adam. He rose and walked about but he could not speak until tbe Lord opened bis Hps. God made the earth and the sea, and then he took counsel with Glus kabe concerning them. He asked if it would be better to have the rivers run up on one side of the earth and down on the other, but Glus-kabe said:. "No, they must all run down one way." Then the Lord asked , him about the ocean, whether It would do to have It always lie stilL Glus-kabe told him "No!" It must rise and fall or else it would grow thick and stagnant. "How about fire?" asked the Lord; "can it burn all the time and nobody put it out?" Glus-kabe said: "That would not do, for If anybody got burned and the fire could not be put out they would die; but If It could be put out then tbe burn would get welL" , '. ' So he answered all the Lord's questions. Abby L. Alger, In Pop ular Science Monthly.' living In the mountains of this county is a family with a singular lostory In a matrimonial way. The father owns a little farm and four daughters, or did own the lat ter. A man named Phillips about fifteen years ago married the eldest of these daughters, and after a few years of married life the lady ran away with the husband a sworn en emy. He procured a divorce from her and wooed the second sister and took her home; but the next day tho woman turned up at home and said she wouldn't live with Phillips, and after a time succeeded in getting le gally free from him. Then the third sister, undaunted by what had gone before, married the husband of her two sisters. Soon after this the fellow was sent to the penitentiary for an offense that kept him there three yearn, d when he came out he found that his wife's fickle fancy had strayed while he was absent and had fixed Itself upon a neighbor, John Callahan. By law she was entitled to a di vorce from ber husband, as he was a convicted felon, so, getting it, she married her lover. In tbe meantime the first wife had found that the man with whom she had eloped would not marry her after Phillips had divorced her and returned home. Then Mrs! Callahan wandered back to her husband, for her has band number two would not support her. So In this way the old man had once more his four daugh ters on his hands and Phillips was still free, . The youngest daughter was now about eighteen, and she also fell a victim to the fascination the man Phillips appears to hare exerted orcr them all at first and, becoming In fatuated with him, consented to marry hlnv Phillips went to the father for the fourth time to ask for a daughter's hand and was told that be might hare her on condition that he kept her. Phillips promised that the cere mony was to take place the following night, when the ex-wives, 'growing jealous, armed themselves and awore that the marriage should never take place; so Phillips rode to town and wore out a warrant against the sis ters, telling of their threats. The women were sworn then to keep the peaoe, but Phillips thought tt pru dent, however, to run away with hla bride to Kentucky and marry her there. This time his venture seems to have terminated happily, for be has three children and is prospering. Philadelphia Times. NAPOLEON AT HIS TOILET. How the Or. at &ol4r Prared for Hit. Dailv Work. .
