point, lo'ing rcrcy Warburton,
xvlioni evervliody knows as a general
favorite, among men as well as women,
told some of his lady friends, the other
night, that ho would le charme 1
to dance "the germaii" with them
every night in the week, but that he
couldn't allbrd bouquets like the other
men. and if flowers were a prime re j
tiisite, ho wouM have to give up
dancing. lie said: "You know my
salary is small, and I have to dress tol
erably well, and. as it might seem, ex
pensively: iiiougn it is not -0 -ery ex-i
pensive in the long run to get the best

my friends that 1 appreciate their kind
ness, but I believe that they will respect
me all the more, if I confess my inabili
ty to in tir, honestly, what seem to be
necesary expenses for a hoe'ety man."
The notion was getting abroad that tho
ambition of all the gir s that wcro com
ing out was to get the largest possible
number of bouiiicts; also, no one was
consi lertd worth dancing with unless
he could provide his parln r with

see other young follows, who aro born
to wealth and luxury, spending x-ast
sums on mere fancies and frivolities:

play, an elaborate supper or an cxpen-

n score of other things, wlrch some
young xvomen seem to demand or ex
pect as natura' rights, simply because
omc young men. with more money than

In a small community like our own the
amount of money which a man on a sal

tolerably xvcll known, or very nearly

As we are xvriting for a purpose xve
may illustrate what xve wish to hint by
a true story. In a large city, not x'cry
far away, a young man lately held a po
sition of trust in an extensive houso.and
large amounts of money pas-od through
his hands daily. He had grown up in
the business from a boy, and had been
promoted for his cap icity and honesty,
until his salary xvas largo enough to
Support hirnseV, his mother and sister,
very comfortably. The family had been
poor for years, but they had kept up ap
pearances very well. The son xvas a
man of re'nrd" tastes, loved art, music,
books and Towers, dainty d nncrs and
the society of cult'vated people, every
thing which a man has a riht to enjoy,
ir he can hono-tly afford if. The small
house was exchanged for a larger one,
whose rooms were bright xvith pictures,
x-ocal with sxvect songs, and redolent
of the rarest roses. Friends xvere en
tertained hospitably, and the sister
placed under the caro of the best tench-

came. By one of those little things
win h some men call "accidents," and
others "providences," a heavy defalca

thousands of dollars. A systematic
process of embezzlement had bot-n go

skillful fixing of figures the 'oss falling

failure undermines tho popular faith
in tho almanac. The old reverence
for the astrologer anil the prophet still
survives when the predictions aro put

Mother Ship ton's direful vaticination
xvas printed it was universally believed,
and there are many people even to-day
who believe that it all ca-ro true in

the almanac as the almanac itself xvhieh
is icgarded with tho same cur osity and
awe that inspires tho African as he ap

Ingland ever knew who was the real
author of the old Farmers' Almanac,

doubt or the absolute correctness of its
weather statements, even at this late
day, would raise as groat a storm of in
dignation in that section as xvouM an

Fugitive prophecies for weathei

both the Dominion and the American

to go out on the date of his March

which thereupon snapped at him and
taught his finger, "the skin of which

bites from puppies were "worse and
more dangerous than from old dogs"
a fact, if it be a fact, by no means so
generally known as it should be. If
puppies' bites and scratches be more
dangerous they are certainly far more
common, especially if a "graze" of tho
skin can be called a bite, and it ap

is sufficient to induce hydrophobia." St

a diamond weighing thirty-seven
pounds, which Ifc o'l'ered to sell me in

t'on that even the Africans don't appre

This morning a lady from Oil City
went into Tiffany's great jewelry store
and said she desired to purchase a dia
mond. "I understand sol'ta're diamonds are
the best, Mr. Tiffany," she said, "please
show me some of them."
"Hereisanico s litaire." answered
the silver haired diamond prince.
"How do you like it?"
Putty well," said the lady, revolv
ing it in her fingers. "It slimes xvoll;
but are vou sine it is a soliUiire, Mr.
Titlany?"
Why, of courso. madame."
"Wall, now, if you will xvarrant it to

I don't m'nd bny'ng it for my daughter

and took her parasol to

one. 1 "on't mind lakin' 'cm all so as
to make a big solitaire cluster for mv

be a real solitaire." smilingly rcplcd
Mr. Titlany, and then the head of tho
house went up to his private office, and
in the presence of four hundred clerks
sat down and xvrote his official guaran
tee that the diamond named xvas a gen
ii ue solitaire. As the lady bore the
ceitifieatj from the big jewelry palace,
she observed to herself: "There's noth

Tut that evening her fiendish hus

"and then this beautiful woman," said

"O dear!" said the great jeweler,

They wore coming, for chool bad
n t been out three tn nutcs. and none '
of them had gone far from it There
hail been trouble in tho little ached
hou.se of late, an I Bill Hcndcr3 had
been at the oottom of a good deal of. l.
It wa not altogether because he was
no very bad a boy. but he frit it a I ttl

I ullied for his blunders byo very snia'l
a woman ai the school trustees had
choen for a-teacher that winter. It
might have been d. Cerent if there had
been any boy a little taller to e him a
good example, but all the tall I oj s
were attending school at the Academy.
Thus Hill was left to settle the difficul
ties in his own way. and he had not
yet been able to ett'e them at all. for
little Miss Variik refued to have mercy
oti his mistakes of anv kind. W h.xt
made it worse was that she told him.
three cr four times a day, that she was
his best friend, and wanted to help
make a man of him.
Bill could have stood a great many
things better than he could that, for he
felt that he was quite near enough to
be ng a man to be .sent to the Acauemv.
There were other boys in the District
School, but none of them were largu
enough to interfere much with Hill, and
he bad his own way a gtxxl deal in any
out-of-door matters. There were note en
any large girls, but there was a perfect
.swarm of small ones, and MissVarick
had somehow persuaded them all that
she had come among them as n sort of
guardian angcL
That was why there was such a sud
den silence along the lower lienches.
and such a buz after it that afternoon,
when Hill Henderson rouudly de
clared: "1 won't spell it again!"
"Vou won't, William? Did you say
1 won't'? Spell it again, sir."
"I won't. I don't mean to let any
woman boss me."
Spell it. sir
Bill held down his head sulkily, but
ho did n X o en his lips a':tin in rejdy
to Miss Yariek s further n'mar s, of
which th -re were many, except nt the
end of them, when he again blurted
out:
I won't bo kept a'ter sclioo', neither
not by any woman. "
He had not been looking at the rows
of little faces on those 1 cliches, anil if
he had it would not have o curred to
him how many little women wtre sit
ting there, not one of them fonipariu;
in 1 oint of size wilh even little Mi.vs

Particularly he had failed to see tho
look of wrath in the black eves of Pollv

William Henderson about th s half nn
hour before ixhool opens to-monow
morning."
There was a Found of someth'ng to
conic in the clear torn s of the school
ma'am's voice, and Hill's head was still
hang'ng a little when he slouched out of
tho door, and liegan to trudge along the
road toward home.
"Now. girl, let's pelt him."
It was Polly Burbank s shrill treble
that he heard saving that, and she had
a snow-ball ready-n ado to show what
she meant. It was not a very b g or
hard one. but it hit him just under the
left ear. and Kate Sullivan M owed it
with another that went into Irs neck.
At any other time he m'ght have set to
work and snow-balled back aga n. but
he knew fomehow that Mis.s Varick was
watching the fun from the w ndow. and
that she heard Polly Burbank limit

They grew worse and worse as he
walked faster and faster, and he was
thinking whether or not it would pay "

If Bill had run just then, it would have
looked as if he were trying to catch a
ride on that very cutter, and he could
not bear the thonght of that. He
walked as fast as he knew how. but so
did ail the other boys, and by common
