u ImUer and dependent on a tn.ild, but
iio, disposed to be uppish on that ac
count. The other blushed anil pulled

lier lingers, sas the Han Francisco
Examiner.
"Wo (lino at fi-IJO." she went on.
The big woman looked slightly sur
prised. "Early dinner, yea, ma'.ini." was all
Blie said, but the little woman wished
jslie had made it at least 7.
"Yes, early," she said. "Mr. Mr.
that is, my husband prefers It. He Is
rather old-fashioned in some was."
"Yes, ma'am," said the bis woman
find the little one felt herself forgiven
and pitied.
"We breakfast at S and my husband
doesn't oome home to lunch, so you
would have time to do most of the
sweeping," she went on, more easily.
"Of course you have hardwood
floors," said the bit; woman, curiously.
"Well, no. We have hail matt lass put
down. We rather like them belter."
"Do you hire a man to beat the runs?"
"Why, there are not very many Just
two, I believe not big ones. It would
hardly bo worth while," tnld the little
woman apologetically.
"Yes, ma'am," In a tone suggestive
of Daghestans In the kitchen and Por
Blan tapestries In the china closet.
"I should expect to have some of tlm
washing done at home," the little
woman continued. There was a whole
French laundry In the surprised lifting
of the other's eyebrows as she asked,
deferentially:
"You mean the flannels and stock
ings?" "Yes, nnd well. Jii3t a few other
things. The laundries are so hard on
otio's lingerie," with a smile that the
big woman politely rellected.
"Would you expect mo to wait on the
door?" she asked.
"I think you'd have to, when I was
out or anything," said the little woman
with Bomo hesitation. "If I were right
there I wouldn't mind openinK it ray
wolf occasionally. Of course you would
have your pvptilng out."
"Two evenings and Sunday afternoon
is what I've been accustomed to," said
tho big woman, quietly.
"Yes, certainly. That would suit me
perfectly well," the little woman hastily
agreed. "Tuesday night we alvas go
to our whist club, but wc could arrange
about any two other nights, and I'm
not even sure we are going to keep up
tho whist club."
"Would you want much rough work
done, washing windows, and that?"
asked the big woman, glancing down at
lier neatly gloved hands.
"Well, tho windows, of course." ad
mitted the little woman, "hut not much

"Then you don't cook by gas or elec

"Well, it's a cooking stove; No. 6, I

"No. C hasn't much room on It, but I
don't supposo you'd want more than
live courses for dinner when you hadn't
company," said tho big woman, con
siderately. The little duo gasped
Blightly.
"Oh, no; not more than four or live,"
hIio agreed. "My hiihhand sometimes
likes to havo Just three. He is fond of

"Yea, ma'am," said tho big woman,
with generous compassion.

THE CLEVER WOMAN

That Ititrttly 1'um.
"I wish I were clever "
The woman was charmingly dimpled,
wore a Fieneli gown, was the mistiiMS
of a luxurious establishment and was
dispeiHli'g tea to afternoon rnllen In
cups of iricelecs f.tteiue. says the Now'
York Herald.
'Women who write." had been the
subject on the tapis, and the letnirk
was u delicate compliment to the wom
an to whom she handed the lea. She
was a successful writer successful to
the extent of making a good Income
as the fruit of unwearied Industry. She
hail never known the delights of dia
monds or her own carriage, or a box
at the opera. She sometimes spent a
haul-earned $."i for a drive, but there
was neither Itixtity in the cartlage, not
swiftness in the steeds, and she was
conscious all through the drive that
when she went hack to the olllco she
would write something about the coun
try in the spring or the lloisani of fall
foliage and flowers with which the sub
urban resident could decorate his houso
and table.
If she took a $1! seat In the opeta
house she rarely lost herself complete
ly in the music, as she would have
liked to do, because skeletons of para
graphs on theater hats and theater
manners, on loveis who make love In
the stalls as well as on the stage and
a thousand other things for the next
day's paper llitted thiough her mind.
She never bad a Fieneh gown; on the
contiary, she walked ten blocks nnd
tilmbed seven stoiles to llud a dress
maker who would make, though at the
same time mar, her one gown for 510.
Her modest house was prett and alio
was even quite fatuous for her petllei
foupeis, at which one sometimes met
eminent and always delightful people,
but only herself and her one maid knew
at what cmt of peisplrlng brow and
smutched litigeisand aching hack those
dulntv little dishes were evolved.
So there was almost icverenco In her
tones as she teplled:
"My dear, you are the clever woman;
you are far more clever than (Jeorge
Eliot. The i eally smart woman Is not
the one who makes her own dally
bread, even though there be a Nessel
rode pudding tin own in now and then.
It Is she who, without raising her
hand, can cause all this luxury to be
laid at her pietty saiiu-shod feet. It
is like eating a Delmnnlco dinner nnd
lamenting that you arc not the chef
who cooked It. Not the woman who
works hut she who gets all there Is in
life without working, Is tho really
clover woman.
"May there not be two kinds of clev
erness?" said the woman who came to
make her adleiix.
ONLY ONE LOVED HIM.
Niiinloiin' Potter-Mother Hail n Trim
AfTiTtlon for Mini.
Masson states ill his memoirs of Na
poleon that the "Littlo Corporal" blt
teily regretted that no woman had ever
really loved him. Even Mine. Wnlo
wska married as soon as Napoleon was
sent to St. Helena, proving conclusively
that her course of action was prompted
by the love of her country, and not for
any tenderness that Bhe may have felt
for the great general. Nevertheless, If
Napoleon was a failure as a "lover and
husband," according to Massou he suc
ceeded in retaining tho adoration of his
foster-mother to the end. The deeprst
affection existed between Mammuccia
Caterina and her nursling. She -.ame
to Paris to see him crowned emperor,
and when told by Napoleon to ask him
for any favor, begged that she might
be Introduced to the pope. Tho old
lady so amused his holiness with ac
counts of her "garcon," as she was wont
to call the emperor, that ho forgot in
her society the dlfllcultles of the situa
tion. Mammuccia Caterina nearly died
of grief when she heard of her garcon's
downfall. And nothing could bo more
forcible than the terms with which she
denounced Marie Louise for not follow
ing Napoleon Into exile. Mammuccia
Caterina, despite hor great age, was
preparaing to go and comfort her gar
con at St. Helena when she died. Dur
ing his prosperity Napoleon heaped
favors upon her and her family. To
day her descendants bear the title of
barons and are received in the best
society of Paris. Their family name is
Saverias.

An ea't ruder, who hnsa alx-year-old

markable question which the youngster
llrcd at him a few evenings ngo.
"Papa," he said, "do you think this
has been a good winter for leo down
in tho bad placo?"
Tho father looked at the serious lit
tle face and checked the Imptilso to
laugh.
"My dear boy," he gravely remark
ed, "why do you want to know?"
" 'Cause," tho youngster replied,
" 'cause Johnnie Whlto said that when
they cut this winter's Ice down thero

itnocked the ashes
out of her pipe on tho hearth of tho
kitchen range, which to us children
was a preliminary sign that old "Tilda
held in reserve one of her reminis
cences of her life on the Old Carter
plantation, near tho city of Charleston,
and of the civil war.
Wo children, my sister and I, used
to love to steal down to her especial
domain in the gloamlug. and tease for
a story of that enchanted land ot (low
ers, nnd especially of those battles
fought near the Carter place, and of
which the old negress was an eye wit
ness. Hcnlllng lier pipe, and settling her
self In her easy chair, she continued:
"I jes' done recolmemberono inoa'i ob
dem yarns, but It's erbout how my ole
missus hop Decoration Day all by her
lone self, an' how she done put posos
on one grave fur Ilftecu long years
afore sho found out who do poah young
fella was."
Here old 'Tilda stopped and lighted
her pipe, puffed away with a retro
spective glance at us two girls, as wo
crept closer to this oracle In ebony, and,
having stimulated our curiosity, she
continued:

There Is far too little relation main
tained between Independent'" Day and

quence of the other, and the celebra
tion of both should be observed with
due solomnlt as well as with comely
and hemming rejoicing. A sacred ser
vice to begin tho day, a service of
thanksgiving, of giaud and npproptlato
music, then with thecongtegatlon pour
ing out Into the highways and byways
of the earth, the spirit of peace and
good-will might be nieiged Into a feel
ing of Joyoiisuess and a giving way to
all foims of bibulous iipnrl and Inno
cent amusement. We have In one ot
these das honored our forefathers
through whose wise and determined ef
forts the country was established, and
in the other we have remembered thosu
who rescued us from danger and saved
us for a gteat and glorious future.
These dayii are the red-letter days in
the American calendar -Impressive be
cause they aie reminders of great strug
gles, because they made our present
condition of existence possible; happy
because we know by them, and what
they typify, that the spirit of patriot
ism, tioir-sacrlllce and the great and all
eDinpiehenslve spirit ,ft divinity that
was oilglually planted' in the hearts of
men has neither been dimmed nor ex

And they and theirs in timo will stand
Bcsldo our graves and hero relato
How we had fought to save tho land,
Now giown so powerful and great,
That Kings and Czars boyond tho aea.
Quake at the namo of Liberty.

Wo know not, Comrades, what'a

If for our land waits good or ill,
But not till faith In God Is dead,
Shall evil trifle with tho will
Thnt nerved our brother' arni3 to

And win for Freedom, Truth nod

So how nmong tho memories,
Thnt round these graves rcionslvo

And pledgo again each Union heart
Shall be, though helpless elso to do,
To Flag and Country always truo!
