JIM'S WAIF 11V T.U 1. tiKANT. Down at Loiijj Ilrnncli on a warm miiinor day, a younjr man was enjoy- . iiiK liimself in the surf, together with two or three companions. They had nil come down from New York on a ; little "lark." ' Jim swam remarkably well and delighted his friends and the company at large by some of his per- j forniances. I lie Mas good-natured, too. lie ' took out several girls lie knew and helped them to float, and so made ! himself very popular. J Among others who watched him ' from (lie beach wa9 a poor woman ' with a baby. At last, as ho brought one girl back whom lie had been tcach ! ing to swim, she beckoned to him. "Young man," said she, ''could you ! not kindly take my little baby out and give her a dip in the surf? She is nuny and :i would help her." But Jim shook his head as he looked at the child. "I'm afraid of babies," he said. , "Never held one in niy life. It might slip out ot my hands and drown." i "No, I guess not," said the woman. "You can't hurt it, and the surf-bath- I I ing would help the little dear." Jim hcsitaled, then lie looked at the small, peaked face. "Give me the I iittle dear,'" said he. "But don't yon t budge, for if the young one should squall, I am going to bring it back to I you." ' "It won't squall," said the woman, j "It's net afcared." ! The young man look the child cau j tiously, as though it was made of , glass and might go to pieces in his j hands; but it did not. Neither did it j cry. So ho waded off with it, grasp : ing it tightly. At last he resolved to i give it a gentlo immersion. Far from being frightened, the baby seemed I pleased, and even ventured on a mild laugh. Jim now returned to the beach : and proffored it to its mother. J "The kid seemed pleased," he said. "It laughed." "Poor dear," said the woman. "She ; lias been very sick. Young gentleman, i your bath lias been a (iod-send to her. i Now you see you can't hurt her, 1 couldn't you give her another dip?" After a little persuasion, Jim agreed and went off with tho baby. This time ho joined his coinnanions. and amused himself with now dinniiisr. now floating the child on his hand 7 After a timo he wearied of this sport, and returned to the beach to give the child to its mother. But she was no where to be found! Horrified, the young fellow ran up and down the beach, unmindful of his scanty bathing suit, anxiously in quiring: "Whero's the mother of this child?" Nobody knew. Then evoryono bo gan to make merry at his expense. "Made you a present?" cried one. "A handsome legacy," sa'd anothcj'. "Hello, Jim," cried his companions, who, seeing Iho commotion, had come ashore, "what's up?" "Tho wretched woman has van ished." "You were green, indeed, to take tho brat," said they. "I'll drop it very soon," said Jim, setting it down on the sand. "No, you don't, either." said tho policeman on duly. "This beach is not to oe mado a foundling hospital." "But I don't want this baby," re monstrated Jim. "Can't help it. Take it up." And Jim was forced to obey. "You can take it back to town and carry it to tome charitable institution," tho official doigned to suggest. "What could liavo becomo of the woman?" cried Jim, in wild despair. Nobody know; no one had eeu her walk away. , Everybody thought it a fine joke, and everybody laughed except the. baby. Jim bad takeu it up a little roughly, and it began to cry. . .Theyonng mau looked about him, full of hotioi.?7--iK'0"'& 't't'. "Ladies," criod be, approaching a group of women. "For God's sake, ladies, take this thing! I can't do anything with it!" But tho ladies, with cne consent, refused. "No, indeed, they would uot touch it !" Wildly ihe young man ran up and down the beach. The strange woman was nowhere to bo seen. "Come, Jim," cried his compan ions. "Time we were dressing to go back to town." "Certainly, but what am I to do with this this thing while I dress?" I know," cried one kind friend. "We'll leave it at the dressing room after you have dressed." Jim caget 1 y agreed to this, but the man in c".ij,-ge blocked that little game. "Say, sir," said Jim, "I'll just leave this little one out here while 1 go iu and dress." "No, you won't, either," said tho man. "You take it in with you." Jim set the screaming child down on the floor while he mado his toilet. 'He tore his wet hair with rage. "Hush, you brat!" but it yelled the louder. "Oh, my goodness! This is dreadful!" "Jim!'' cried his friends from the next room. "Can't you make it hush? M utile it in a wet towel." "I wish to goodness I did know how they do stop them up! Dcuco take that woman! Where are my shoes ! iet oil' my shoes!" to the helpless baby lie pulled out (he shoes and rolled it on its side. "There now! It's fallen on my coat !" He continued to hunt up tho differ ent articles of attire on which the baby seemed to have a special faculty of falling, while it screamed so that it made his ears ring and his head ache. "I declare this thing is enough to make one mad !" At last he was dressed and saun tered out. "(o back and iret that child," said the dressing-room keeper. "I won't," said Jim. "I'mnotgoing to lug it to town." "You shan't leave it here. I'll call a policeman and have you arrested if you don't take it right up and get away from hero." Remembering his late encounter with that official, Jim angrily obeyed. When they learned that he had to take it with him to town his com panions all forsook him and fled. In its dripping 6tato the lidle creature was most detrimental to his good clothe:!. The angry Jim tried to hold it at arm's length, and so nearly let it fall. And thus ho elicited a run ning tire of comment from the by standers. "Y'ou'll kill that child fooling with it that way," said one. "Ugh! The brute!" cried another. "The poor innocent!" as the baby be gan to cry atresh. "It's all very well for you to talk that way," retorted the angry Jim, "but none of you would do any better in my place." "Sure, I doubt ef they would do as well, the spalpeens," cried an old Irish woman. "Sure, ihe crayther is cowl I Here, I'll give you me onld shawl," and removing a faded article of ap parel from her ample person, she pro ceeded to wrap the waif in it. "Couldn't you just take it to town with you," suggested Jim. "'ou have so much more experience in the hand ling of this sort of article than I have." "No, indade! Ntver a bit will I letch it! Git away from here, you young spalpeen I" She shook her fist at him, and Jim retreated. No sooner was he on tho boat than Jim deposited his charge on a sofa in the cabin, and hid himself in a remote part of the steamer. But one of the boat officials soon hunted him up. "It's not my baby," cried the bad gered Jim. "How not yours, when you brought it on the boat?" I it's "Don't its mo. Go this instant and get it, or I'll liavo you arrested when we reach town." The wretched Jim was forced to oboy, and resume his hated load amid tho jeers and jokes of tho passongei s who had been his fellow bathers on tho beach. By this time the enraged baby had become unmanageable. It ecrcamed with rage and refusing to sit down itstiffened itself so that it slid off his kneo. The wrotched young mau was ready by this timo to throw it over board. 'Ladies," said lie, turning to a group of femiulnei near him, "for God's sake take this child and make it bush, for I can't.H m "Sir l". cried one, haughtily; the otheri answered with a atony stare. Turning from this stiff upper crnst, he appealed to a motherly-looking Irish woman. "Fail h an" be jabbers, no," she an swered promptly. "Don't play off your ttiricks on me, young man!" AVhile Jim had been absout on this begging tour some one had appropri ated his seat, so he now paraded dis ciusolatcly about, every one whom he approached shunning or jeering him. Suddenly some one touched his arm and turning he saw a young lady iu deep mourning. "Here, let mo hold your baby for you," said she. "O, thank you, madam, God bless yon," cried the wretched Jim. She made room for him on tho seat beside her. "Mind, Gertrude," said a lady on the other bide of her, "he may run off and leave vou iu the lurch." "No, I expect not," said tho lady, half smiling. She took the haple.-s baby, and as she set it on her lap, to Jim's astonishment it cea-ed crying, "l'oor little creature!" said she, wip ing its tear-stained face with her handkerchief. Then she tried to straighten out its clothes. "Why, it's wraiging wet!" Jim hurriedly explained the situa tion. How shameful! 1 heard those men laughing about il," motioning to ward a group watching them. "Yes, the wretches! 1 feel like fighling Ihe whole lot." "This child is hungry," and opening her lunch basket the lady took out a piece of soft bread and fed it to the baby with the remainder of a bottle of cold tea. Thin comforted, the waif b.'gan to look about, and its joy was complete when its benefactress gave it aetiickeu bone lo suck after getting Jim to scrape it clean with his pocket knife. In its rapture it began to coo, and its new friend replied to its remarks iu baby talk. "You certainly know all about babies," said I he delighted Jim. "I've lost mine, and the remem brance of my thirling makes my heart go out to all other babies," she suit'. "()!'' cried Jim, eagerly, "then wouldn't you like to take this one?'' 'No, indeed!" cried she, pushing it off. "No one can ever take my An nie's place !" "Xo, to be sure, madam," said the young man, hastily. "Of course not; it was bru'al of me to suggest it. But please help me with this one till wo get to town." When the boat landed at the wharf the baby was fast asleep. Wrapping it well in Ihe oltl shawl, slit; laid it iu his arms. He held it gingerly and then took his way over tho gangway to (he elevated road. After some thought, ho determined to go home a ;tl let his mother ar range with some charitable institute for its reception the next day. The horror of his parents when tho voting man came on them with his strange burden language fails lo de pict. "l'oor boy," cried his mother as lie hurriedly toltl his title. "Well, who would have thought you such a fool!" said bis father. "Don't speak of it!" said Jim, "but (his is a lesson to me. I'll never touch another baby as long as I live." "Come, conic,'' cried hi.s mother, "make no rash promises." She now took the waif in hand and fixed it off comfortably foi the night. The next day a rich and childless friend, calling and hearing the story, , determined to adopt the baby. Sho has done a good part by it. This was years ago. The waif is now a tall girl in her teens and very pretty. Jim is still unmarried, is still called a young man. And he now takes a lively interest iu the waif. Atlanta Constitution. j Just What a Toddy Blossom Is. The lodtly blossom on the nose has been for years an affliction to the ama to.ir inebriate. Usually he is interested as to tho philosophy of the symptom. It is very simple. The skin that covers the nose is very full of little blood vessels, highly vascular as we say. Alcohol weakens the nerves which control the circulation of the blood. Thus an accumulation of blood at tho end of the nasal organ closes up tho mouth of one of the liitlo sweat glands which arc found all over the body, so the perspiration fails to escape from the pore that is ordinarily open. It forms a clot, and naluro seeks to re move the clot by inflammation. That makes a toddy blossom. Long con tinued indulgence in an excess of al cohol occasions a general clotting of tho tweat glands, which results in a swelling of the nose, so that a man's proboscis may eventually assume the appearance of a sweotbread, through fatty enlargement of the degenerated tissue. This is the final stage. 1 A Model of Neatness. "Noodles is certainly the neatest fel low I ever knew about his personal habits," said Snoopkinsat the Platypus Club one afternoon. ' How so?" One of the other men in the group, about the little table at the east front window put the query and Stioopkins replied : "Well, I mean that Noodles is an orderly iu his ways. You know very few men have any notion of putting thing? away. But "he really has. "Such things as what?" "Why, clothes. At all events, I was thinking of them in particular. I have roomed with a good many fellows in my time, hut of all of them Noodles is the most careful man as to the manner in which he puts his things away when lie goes to bed." "'low does he do it. dear boy?" "Well, you know the average man when he undresses walks around the room and throws his coat in one corner, his trousers in. another, hi necktie and foliar in one place, anil m on, distrib uting his garments without regard to "rdt-r. But with Nood!.-s it is different. He perambulates the bedroom as he disrobes, also, but he chucks his things in a pile iu the same spot. No matter where lie t".kes off a garnient he waits until ho has got around to the same corner again before be depoMts it. That's what I call neatness. Don't you'.'" Three Lanterns. A somewhat vexatious law iu China eonir!s every doctor, after dark, to hang up in front of his house as many lighted lamps as he has sent patients into the next world. One evening a Kmo;oan, who was staying in l'ekiuon business, set out in search of a doctor for his wife, who had been .'tiddenly taken ill. He called at the houses of a good many, but was deterred by the large number of lamps exhibited before each. At length, after tramping about for several hours, lie came to the house of it doctor, where only three lamps shed a melancholy li'jht over the entrance. Our happy Hiropean dashed into tho house of this excellent man, wakened him, and took him off to his lodgings. "I presume you are the best practi tioner in this city" lie remarked to his companion as they went along. "What makes you think so'.'" "Because you have only three lan terns hung over your door, while your colleagues have tlo.ens displayed on their house fronU." "Ah, is that the reason?" ca'mly asked the tloetor. "The fact is, I only lately set up in practice, and have had but three patients." A Suggestion. The most severe rebuke I ever got from the Bench, said an American lawyer, was from one of those typical Western judges who had determined that it was time to introduce a little more of the formality of the Kast in court than lie hud formerly insisted on. It was my first case in court, any way. I had gone out there about as green as they make them, and had purchased a half interest in the practice of a sharp lawyer, who immediately retired from practice in that town ami made me a present of the remainder of his busi ness when he felt my money safe in his pocket. So I was thrown on my own resources, and was soon floundering so deep in legal quagmires that the judge felt called on to interpose. A few months before he wouM probably have poured out some choice abuse tin my head, and would have offered to light nie if I did not like it. But now he was standing on formality. "Young man," he said .impressively, "the best thing you can do for yourself and for your client will be to hire a lawyer." 1 did so. In Its Concentrated Forir. "Doctor," said the tired looking caller, "I believe a trial of Doctor Koch's lymph would do me good' "Your lungs, sir," replied the phy sician, "are perfectly sound. Y'ou need no consumption cure." "But I have a tired feeling all the time." "A kind of indisposition to take any active exercise?" "Yes." "Or any other kind of exercise?" "Yes." "Or to do anything. like work?" "Um-yes." "What you most need, sir, is the : lymph of industry." i "I bolicve you are right, doctor," said the caller, rising languidly. "I'll, live on honey for the next thirty days ; and see how itgoes."
