There were three of them, amd each
wore m tailor-made suit and half
masticated caramel. They came hur
rying and akurrying up to the ticket
seller's window, and he shut his teeth
firmly together and braced himself
against a pillar for what he knew was
coming.
"Are there any good seats left for

"Yes'm. Here are three "

"I just think it's mean.

"Ob, they're too near the stage.

"Yes. indeed. I'd rather be too far

"Wish we could have a box."
"Wish wo could."

"Do you? I like to be a little nearer

"Doorin' de past fortnight." said (
Brother Gardner, as the ameeting

Waydown Bebee then spoke as fol

and he said:

Whalebone Howker, being asked for
his experience, gave it as follows:
"I was de honestest man in Detroit
until a merchant sold mo two cotton
undershirts fur all wool, an' one of his
cash boys beat me outer twenty cents
of de change. On dat samo day my
pound of coffee wa hort an ounce an'

down an' counted up dat I started life
wid fo' hundred dollars an' had been
reduced to about sixteen. I went out
dat night an' stole a bar'l of salt from
a grocer, an' befo' ten o'clock next day
dat werry man had trusted me fur fo

Shindig Watkins. Pernambuco John

Jones, all spoke to tho same point, de
claring th:it strict honesty was tho
highway to tho poor-house.and Brother
Gardner then said:
' "I ar' not a bit surprised. My owa

At the house, by mutual consent
every unpleasant subject seems to be
dropped oat of sight und mind during
meals, and although nothing better
than a "dinner of herbs" frequently
graces their board, there is always
"contentment therewith." No worries
aro ever discussed at Mich times. Even
a dish that has i-uffcred at the hands
of stupid Grctchen. instead of being
greeted with frown and ill-nwtnred
criticism, becomes a theme for fresh
jollity.
But what a different atmosphere at
the Rawleys. Mr. K bemoans his
losses, his expenses or hi debts, scolds
his sons, nags his daughters and com
plains of the food. Mrs. R , who
doesn't believe In letting "a man have
every thing his own way." laments
that her house is smaller and her fur

who Hvo across the way. She dis
cusses the shortcomings of her servants
and the disobedience of her children,
and the children, not to be behind
hand, indulge in many a side squab-
