"Come," he said, "tell us all about

For reply the abstainer reached into

Marian was in a room with her
mother, where she saw upon the wall
the illuminated text: "What is Home
without a Mother?" Spelling it out
she said: "Mamma, why don't they
put the answer to that conundrum up
there?" "'What is the answer?" asked
her mother. "Au orphan, of course."
answered Marion with great satis
faction. "I guessed it easy."
Freddy was sent by his mother on an
errand. In a few minutes he returned,
his face pallid with fear. "Why. Fred

smile Fred answered: "There's a dog

thought I would come back and tell
you to let nurse go with me and take
Sister Nellie, so she could see the dog.

Mabel was sitting on the floor play

to her: "Mabel, put down your doll
and come and shell these peas." "Oh.

me do everything, and won't let me do
any thiug!"
Upon Benny's return from his first

Another dialogue began with: "I

"I am so glad." the companion girl
exclaimed. "I was so afraid he would
never get over his affair with me."
In oue iustance an exchange of con

He was an elderly gentleman with a

in hoisting a heavy safe into the lifth
story of a larf building on Chestnut
street last Saturday afternoon, says the
Philadelphia frr.s.i.
After gazing fill" some time at the

"Will you let tin' speak to you a

impatiently. "Hold on. Dan. Now,
then, what is il?"
Do you think it is safe to attempt

Certainly! I know my business."
"That's all very well, young man;

What JIih Cargo Was.
One of the best stories Joe Jefferson
tells of his early barn, storming days,
says the Albany Ai'ius, was of the
time when the company, under the
management of Sol Smith got stranded
in a little Mississippi town, and didn't
have enough money to reach the next
stand where it was to play. Luckily
it was in the summer time, aud the
river was full of II at boats plying to and
fro with produce and live" stock. It
was a case of going the whole hog or
none. So Sol Smith, who was an
eloquent old actor, finally prevailed on
the skipper, who was going down the
river with a load of hogs, to give the
actors free transportation. It may be
imagined that the trip was not enjoy
ably spent in such unsavory company,
but actors were not as particular in
those days as they are now. One
evening the llatbo.it passed a palatial
fiteamer, the deck li'led with elegantly
dressed southern iadie.s and gentlemen.
T he captain 'tailed the skipper of the
flatboat: "Wha! boat is that?'' "The
Marv Ann Jenk in of Uinitnierpsort."
"And what kind of a cargo have you
got 011 board?" i. not inii'-h of a
one only hogs ami actors." The roar
of laughter that went up from li;e deck
of that steamboat at this announcement
must have made tin- engineer think
The Ufii-wliiiii ;irl.
The whistling girl does not corn-
monlv come to a bad end. Quite as
often as any other girl she learns to
whistle a cradle song, low and sweet
and charming, to the young voter in
the cradle. She is a girl of spirit, of
independence of character, of dash and
flavor; and as to lips. why. you must
have some sort of presentable lips to
whistle; thin ones will uot. The whis
thug girl does not come to a bad end
at all (if marriage is still considered a
good ocupatiou). except a cloud may
be thrown upon her exuberant young
life by this rascally proverb. Even if she
walks the lonely road of life, she has
this advantage, that she can whistle to
keep her courage up. But in a larger
sense, one that this practical age cau
understand, it is not true that the
whistling girl comes to a bad end.
Whistling pays. It has brought her
money; it has blown her name about
the listening world. Scarcely has a
non-whistling woman been more fa
mous. She has set aside the adage.
She has done so much toward the
emaucipaption of her sex from the
prejudice created by an ill-natured
proverb which never had root in fact.
But has the whistling woman come
to stay? Is it well for women to whis
tle? Are the majority of women like
ly to be whistlers? These are serious
questions, not to be taken up in a light
manner at the end of a grave paper.
Will woman ever learn to throw a
stone? There it is. The future is in
scrutable. We only know that where
as they did not whistle with approval,
now they do do; the prejudice of gen
erations gradually melt3 away. And
woman's destiuy is not linked with
that of the hen, nor to be controlled
by a proverb perhaps not by any
thing. Harper's Migazine.
Moonshine Whisky.
Whisky made by moonshiners seldom
becomes a week old. and very often it
is drunk warm from the still, having
the effect of broken glass on the palate.
It is frequently adulterated, tobacco
being added to make it bite and rattle
weed to make it bead. In the moon
shine districts almost everybody drink
men and women, old aud young and
the mountain boy on pleasure bent
carries a quart bottle of the stuff. Re
package of snuff, aud a six-shooter.
