TOMMY WAS A MAN.
A True Story of Self Control Relatsd
by a Chicago Merchant.
The following "really true" inci

of "Ben sick, Toumiij' he inaiu
tained a rimd silence. Ho worked
as hard a usual, &nd fLa&llj the
boy ceased to question him regard
ing his absence. Neither did they
insist again after his second re
fusal to accompany theiu at noon
for tho usual fire cent lunch of cof
fee and bismarcks, having corau to
the conclusion, as they expressed it.
that "Tommy bad a grouch."
One day tho manager was called
at noon to inspect a certain gradi
of paper in tho storeroom on tho
top fioor. As he and his foreman
wended their way through tho iiuga
rolls of paper they heard the sound
of low sobs. Silently they peered
down the loug aisles of paper rolls,
and finally in the corner of ono
narrow onw they saw the pathetic
figuro of a littlo boy. The aisle be
ing too tubelike for the portly form
of tho manager, ho bade the boy
come out.
It was Tommy Barret, his fac
flaming with embarrassment, his
checks tear' stained and dirty from
contact with tho grimy little hands.
"Why, Tommy, what is it fight
with ono of the boys?" questioned
the manager.
"No, sir," faltered Tommy, now
striving manfully to raise his voice
above the threatening Bobs.
"Then what was it?" The man
ager laid his hand on tho boy's
head reassuringly. Tommy bit his
lip for composure, then, dry eyed,
answered firmly, "My mudder died
last week."
The manager turned away us tho
chain of memory wafted him back
to bis own similar loss years ago,
when it took the united efforts of a
host of relatives and tho entire
community of a sympathizing mall
country town to comfort him with
chocolate drops, 'little pies" and
miniature express wagons. And
here, ho thought, was this littlfi
chap working in silence and con
trolling the misery of his heart until
he could steal away at noontime
and sob it all out alone among the
paper rolls.
"Have vou come up here before
to cry?" the manager inquires
when ho felt sure of his own voice.
"Yes, sir," Tommy answered tiiu
idly, adding apprehensively, "bui
don't fire me, sir I won't do it
again."
"Fire you!" tho manager ejacu
lated. "Well, I guess not. A boy

with a man s self control. loni'

su ranee.
"Now run and wash your face,"
the manager continued kindlv.
"You're going to lunch with me at
2 o'clock."
An hour later Tommy, with face
glossy from recent battle with
pumice stoue soap, was partaking
of a substantial lunch with his em
plover, who waxed cheerful, confi
dential, even chummy, to put the
bov at his ease. As they finished
the dessert he nominated and elect
ed Tommy "boss" of the twenty
four boys at the envelope table, but
not the slightest reference was
mado to the boy's bereavement, for
the manager understood the fine
ness of Tommy's feelings and re
spected them. Chicago tribune
Death For Kissing.
In ancient Egypt it was consid
ered ft high degree of politeness to
kiss one's hand and then place it on
the ton of th head.
Men of rank occasionally kissed
each other, but in the land of the
tiliaruohs no man ever dreamed o:
kiting a woman.
In Homo kissing was at one time
n Fcriou matter. If a slavo kissed
a free woman ho was liable to be
torn to pieces by wild horsea.
It was tho greet Cato who pro
mulgated a law making it a punish
able offonsa for parents to kiss in
the prcsenca of their children.

PREJUDICES.
They Don't Mind Close QuartersThe
Closer the Batter.
Of all the occupations known b
men, entertaining a prejudice Hi
the most absurd. Yet th prnctiwa
is almost universal.
The prejudice is usually uninvit
ed. He cornea in quietly, remove
his hat and coat, saunters up to the
guest chamber and pre xt res to la
coma a permanent feature of the
establishment. You entertain hiiu
royally, strain him to your bosom,
exhibit hiia proudly to evarv one,
fight for him, defend him aud par
petaata aim. Tet you do ntt tva
admit that he is present. "I an tar
tain a prejufkee?" you sy, with
becoming couoera. "Never !w
Birds of a feather flock togathar.
It therefore happeaa that if thuro
is one prejudice jvresent tliuro aw
also others. They always coiim in
unawares and taka their places si-
cntly and unobtrusively. Uut, ok,
how they hang together in an argu
ment!
A group of prejudices u invinci

Tho stronue Dart of prejudices is
that oro would think thoy would

Prejudices aro always bupy. If
thoy are not tampering with one's
eyesight they aro screening the
mind from the open putting
linds on aud making it dark
enough to sleop in comfortably.
A man can get insured against
almost anything else but prejudices.
Ie can insure himself against lire
and water and loss of life and acci
dents and depreciation in his prop
erty. Uut there is no company so
ortified that it would take tho risk
of insuring against prejudice. And,
then, no man would ever think of
taking out any insurance ugainst

to character, are never evicted.
