"When I was connected with the
hotel at Lake Mlnnetonka several years
ago," remarked a hotel man, "we had
as a regular summer guest a woman
from the south who was remarkably
stout, weighing something over 200
pounds. One day she called a bell boy
and inquired:
" "What do they charge for a bath ?
" 1 don't know,' said the boy, 'but
I'll find out.'
"After being gone a ahort time the
boy returned and said: -
" 'Seven cents a pound,'
'What!' 1 ,
' " 'Seven cents a pound,' sold the boy
a second time, while the woman's face
became scarlet as she made her way
to the clerk's desk. : '-
"1 want my bill,' she exclaimed.
T have been grossly Insulted and shall
leave your bouse.'
"She stated her grievance, the boy
was sent for and explained:
"'She asked me what they charged
for bass. I told her I didn't know,
but would find out I asked the stew
ard and he said 7 cents a pound,'
"As the ludicrous blunder of the boy
dawned upon them both the clerk and
the guest made the hotel office resound
with their laughter." AOIwaukee Sen

sketches of Balaklava with "a vacant
stare," curtly remarking, "It is all
wrong." . Still Simpson persevered and
was rewarded In the end "with the ex
pression of Lord Cardigan's highest ad
miration." "The real truth was," he
adds In his simple way, "that In the
last sketch I had taken greater care
than In the first two to make his lord

HER CLEVER SCHEME.
Tha Blond1! Neighborly Act Waa All
For Nanght.
The blond neighbor never had called
before, so the brunette was somewhat
surprised to see her. "
"We've been neighbors for some
time," remarked, the blond after the
first formal greetings had been ex
changed. -
"Almost a year," returned the bru
nette. '
"Long enough," continued the blond,
!so that either of us might reasonably
call upon the other to do a little neigh
borly act"
"Either of us might,!' admitted the
brunette guardedly.
"And we really ought to be friends,"
persisted the blond. "We can be ox
great assistance to each other at times."
"It's (juite possible," the brunette con
ceded, still guardedly. "Is there some
thing you wish to borrow?"
"Oh, dear, no," answered the blond.
"I thought perhaps you were just out
of coffee or wanted a little ot my best
china and silver to help out at a little
dinner or something of that sort."
"Not at all," said the blond. "I was
thinking of your children. You have
several, I believe." ,:
"Four," was tbejeply. .,
' "And they cry some and occasionally
play leapfrog and other noisy games."
The brunette became haughty at
once. No woman cares to have a stran
ger cast reflections on her children.
"Oh, that's all right," the blond has
tened to explain. , "So do mine. All
children are noisy, and the only thing
to do Is to take advantage of their noisi
ness. Now, tomorrow morning about
10 o'clock a tall man with a black
beard will call at my flat, and if you'd
watch for him and set the children to
crying or playing leapfrog or making
a great racket of some kind"
. "Mdamt" '
.. "Don't you understand yet?" persist
ed the -blond,; ignoring the indignant
interruption. "The man with the black
beard is the new landlord, and he's
coming to see me about renewing the
lease. Now, if you and your children
can only make yourselves out to be se
riously objectionable neighbors - don't
you see what a chance it gives me to
force a reduction of the rent? And
later, when your lease expires, I'll do
as much for you.1 What! You won't!
do It? Well, I don't blame tha men for
saying that most women have no head
for business." Chicago Post

A Rare Case. -
There has Just occurred at Madrid a
case that is extremely rare, if not ab
solutely unique, In criminal annals
that of a man imprisoned on the charge
of murder and - being sentenced to
death and afterward reprieved with
out bis knowing it The man, named
Jose Espero Cuelur, had, In circum
stances of great provocation, murdered
a faithless sweetheart, and, although
he was in jail, trial for the crime had
been conducted without his being pro
duced or even knowing that tha case
had come on. - Even when sentence of
death was pronounced nobody deemed
It his Immediate duty to Inform the
person most : concerned. ; One 'day,
some time after, reading a newspaper
that had been allowed him, Cuellar
there read the announcement of his re
prieve and, petitioning to see the gov
ernor of the prison,. learned for the
first time all that had happened.

It was Saturday night, and owing to
the temporary absence of his wife it
fell to Mr. Brown to attend to the
usual process of giving his eight-year-old
son a bath and putting him to bed.
Hff had left his evening paper with a
man's reluctance and had hurried mat
ters along with more speed than the
little chap was accustomed to. How
ever, he endured it all without a pro
test until It came to the prayer. It was
his habit after "Now I lay me" to ask
the divine blessing upon a long list of
relatives and friends, calling each by
name.
"Please God," be began, "bless papa
and mamma, grandpa and grandma and
Aunt Edith and Uncle George and"
