he added, examining the pretty bauble
interestedly.
"Here's something else," said the
third 'woman, balancing between her
Angers a pencil-like arrangement ex
quisitely chased and having a smooth,
oval bulb at eilhir end. "I wonder
what this is for?" And she glanced
ppealingly at the clerk.
"That's a glove-darner," he ex
plained, much amused at her perplex
ity. "And how much does It cost?"
"Eleven dollars."
The trio exclaimed In horror at this
revelation of extravagance and Mrs.
Mary Ellen remarked sternly that III
would supply her with gloves for two
years.
All three examined the glove-darner
critically, and then, pursuing their ln
Testigation, speculated in turn as to the
merits of the solid-gold thimble-holders,
emery-holders, needle-cases and
other articles that seemed curious to
them. Finally, when a finger protector
was shown, Mrs. Mary Ellen's patience
became exhausted.
"These idle women ought to be proud
to show a few needle pricks on their
forefinger," she exclaimed. "I'd like to
know how a little needle prick can
hurt."
She did not conceal her amazement
that so Insignificant, everyday affair as
a 'little round tape-measure could be
contrived to cost $7, and a small ivory
ease, equipped with tiny gold-handled
scissors, needle-case, thimble and bod
kin, the value of which was $100, nearly
took away her breath.
"It seems outrageous to squander so
many dollars on nonsense," she de
clared, energetically, as the party left
the shop.

A True Hear Story.
Stranger (tip In Maine) "I presume
you have seen a good many bears in
your time."
Hunter" 'Bout a thousand."
Stranger "I wish you would tell me
a bear story a true one, of course,
every detail exactly as It happened."
Hunter "Eh? Want a true bear
story? Wall, I swan! All right, I'll
give yeh one; but sho! you won't care
for It. Back In the sixties, about sixty
nine, I think, or mebby It was seventy,
I was walkin' along, not thinkln' of
anything in particular, except Josh
Peabody's chances of election Josh
and me were great friends when all
of a sud.ien, just as I'd crossed a log
over a stream, and sat down on the
further end of the log for a little rest,
I felt a jar, and, looking up, there at
the other end of the log, with one paw
on it, was the biggest, ugliest-lookin'
bear you ever see. I had my gun, but
it was empty, and I hadn't as much as
a bird-shot to load with Just going
home, you know. My huntin'-knlfe
had got lost somehow that same day,
and all I had was an old-fashioned
Barlow pocket-knife, a good deal the
worse for wear. Well, I looked at that
critter, and he looked at me for 'bout
two minutes, when I sort o' sidled off
the log and crept along up the stream
about twenty feet, meantime openin'
the old Barlow knife. I couldn't get
any further on account of a high bank,
a thicket of laurels, and the jagged
roots of a big tree that was blown over.
Well, there I stood, and there that crit
ter stood, me eyin' him and him eyin'
me, fer full ten minutes, when all of
a sudden . Mighty good cigar this
te."
Stranger "Yes, yes; go on."
Hunter "Oh! yes. All of a sudden
that bear crossed over the log and
walked away."

the back yards of neighbors with whom
he is upon speaking terms. As Johnes

Smith was the first neighbor to dis

the ball with: "Ah, there, old man, cut

called his pet cat over into its ow n yard
the chances were good for puss finish

cat came back.
Then Johnson came out, filled his
pipe, strolled up to the fence and in
quired: "What are you up to now, Johnes
cutting your grass?"
Johnes replied that it ought to be
evident to a man possessed of good
eyesight that he was doing something
of the kind.
"Well, there's no use in getting up
pish about it, is there?" queried John
son. Before Johnes could reply Neighbor
Allen had come upon the scene.
"Well, well, well," said he, "I'm glad
to see you working. Cutting the grass

"No. sir," shouted Johnes, "I'm white

Philadelphia Ledger: No climbing
rose ever introduced has attained such
widespread popularity in so short a
time as the Crimson Rambler. Al
though It was introduced this year, over
100,000 plants have already been sold.
To my mind the strongest point in its
favor is Its hardiness. A prominent
pose grower In the spring of 1891 set
out two strong plants In his trial
grounds. By fall they had attained a
growth of six feet. They were left
unprotected during the winter, and In
the spring he pegged down one of the
stems to the ground. It broke from
every eye, and in June he counted on
that one stem 320 buds and blossoms.

"You are too old for such things." That
Is all nonsense. There are genuine fairy
stories with no hint of a moral which
are the delight of every one who loves
good literature. The word love is used
purposely instead of like, for those of
us who love literature feel that the
characters are real, and many of them
are cherished friends. The next time

you will be laughed at go to the library

There is a story to the effect that
when Charles Dudley Warner was ed
itor of the Hartford (Conn.) Press, back
in tne sixties, arousing the patriotism t
of the state by bis vigorous appeals
one of the type setters came in from the
composing room, and, planting himself
before the editor, said: "Well, Mr.
Warner, I've decided to enlist in tbe
army." With mingled sensations of
pride and responsibility, Mr. Warner
replied encouragingly, that he was
glad to Bee that the man felt the call
of duty. "Oh, it isn't that," said the
truthful compositor, "but I'd rather be
shot than try to set your copy."
