It's Worth Remembering.
That gossips never secure
' ' ' '
'permanent jobs.
That happiness is found only
when you look within , not with
out.
That love may be ever so great ,
but must also be wise , to grow.
That a fool is never so foolish
that he may teach another fool
something.
That to be poor without losing
selfresppct or a sense of enjoy
ment is a fine art.
The kindness of any true sort
must be expressed in terms of the
recipient , not of the donor.
That capability marks some
men , and importance others , but
that indispensability attaches to
none.
That friendship which is gen
uine may invarible be recognised
in that it is neither jealous nor
selfish-
That indolence among the rich
is more to be condemned than
ignorance among the poor.
The rich know better.
That intellectual worth is most
clearly shown in , , the complete
and accurate , knowledge of one's
own capabilities.
That mediocrity , provided it be
persevering , accomplishes more
than fitful talent. Hares and
tortoises still run races.

One of the unique methods of
combating the catalogue house
evil of which the country mer
chant has been complaining for
the past several years has been
evolved by D. W. Reid of Falls
City , Nebraska. The plan in
short is this :
Mr. Reid goes to a town and
interviews the local merchants ,
getting certain ones to pledge
that they will sell articles of cer
tain values and class at the same
price the catalogue houses will
sell them for. These agreements
he makes in the form of a pledge
which he supplies to the local
papers of the sections in which
he is working in the shape of
four-page supplements.
The three pages of the supple
ment not given to this pledge is
given over to exposures of the
mail order business and the stand
ards of their goods.
The feature of the mail order
business for the past few years
has been publicity , and Mr. Ried
is combating them with their
own weapons , and is taking this
means to get this publicity into
the homes where the mail order
house is getting its support.
lie has carried the war into
the camp of the enemy and they
have not been loath to make it
merr } ' for him as a consequence ,
a large amount of correspondence
having been sent out over the
country to try and counteract
the influence of the Reid cam
paign. The catalogue houses
have paid little attention to the
wails of the jobbers in convention
but the } ' seem to be able to give
a good deal of attention to the
new scheme which is bringing
this system against themselves.
Mr. Reid is accompanied by
Mrs. Reid who is working with
the ladies in different localities
on the evils of the formation of
soap clubs. Des Moines ( Iowa )

A MAID AND
A METHOD
By TROY ALLISON.
( Copyright , by Dally Story Pub. Co. )
He finally managed to get his
cigar lo working satisfactorily , and
stretched himself comfortably on
the grass.
She leaned back against the trcq
trunk and watched a squirrel busy
on u neighboring branch.
Harrington noticed thai aho
seemed to Imvo entirely forgotten
his presence , unless thcro was merely
! a comfortable consciousness of the
'fact that ho was there if she needed
him the knowledge that she had
nothing to fear from n chance tramper
or theovcrfearcd snake possibility.
It was rather an nuusnal thing
jfor a woman to bo forgetful of Hart
( ringlon ho could not decide wlioth- .
jer the situation interested him or
ipiqttcd his masculine vanity.
"When you Imvo satisfactorily ex
amined the trees , the squirrel , the
water falling over those stones , and
'Imvo ' formed your opinion conccrn-
jing the entrancing horizon , " ho said
in n slightly injured lone , "wouldn't
iyou like to talk to mo pome ? "
She took oil' her hat and laid it
[ on the grass beside her with a sigh
of satisfaction.
"None of those things are more
interesting to me , Diogonos , than
'
'the study of you , 1 assure you , " her
lips curled with a teasing smile , and
there was n touch ot fun in her eyes.
"Sometimes 1 almost conclude
ithat 1 positively dislike you , " ho
said , amiably , taking long puffs at
his cigar , "I never cared much for
women but in this ease there is a
stronger element , f believe it almost
approaches being dislike.
( She wriggled bor blonde bend into
( i more comfortable pose against the
tree trunk and beamed upon him as
jf he bad said something truly grati
fying.
"It's an achievement Diogones to
have inspired you with a strong fecl-
jng of any description I'm prond
of myself. "
"You have such a confounded way
of pouncing upon a fellow's
thoughts and holding them np to

ns easily as a chemist can analyze a
patent medicine. Didn't you know ,
Miss Burton , that women ought to
make themselves or attractive
it's uncanny for them to go in for
psychology , analysis or vivisec
tion. "
"Attractive ? 0 Diogones yon
arc awfully lacking in manners
T was taking solid comfort and con
tent in the belief that the powers
that be bad made me .attractive
and was amusing myself with your
so-called vivisection merely as a

pher , that you arc not fitted for the
gentle ways of polite society if it
didn't hound slangy , I'd Kay : 'Hack

Diogone-s enjoyed PO thoioughly ,
wasn't it ? "
He was , by degrees , working him
self into an exceedingly bad temper.
"Miss Burton , did yon know that
blonde women had always enjoyed
the reputation of being fools more
or less ? " ' be asked , hcathingly.
"All of which leads to " she in
terrupted with elaborate innocence.
"The fact Unit it's lime you de

"Your climaxes are strong , " she
smiled , admiringly , "that idiot Dar-
rell or yon Don't you recognize
u certain similarity to Tope in the
way you construct your sentences ? "
"It's impossible to make a climax
after Darrcllho snorted , "it would
bo an impossibility lo find a bigger
idiot to name after him. "
"Hverylhing , my dear man , de
pends upon the point of view , " she
pinned on her hat , and turned to
wards the path leading to 'the hotel.
That afternoon Harrington lay ,
half asleep , his magazine over his
face , in the shade of the bushes Unit
grew back of the summerbouse.
"Virginia you are acting shame
fully , " ho heard DarreU's voice.
So be called her Virginia , did ho ?
And lu > allowed it !
Virginia evidently enjoyed the
idea of acting shamefully for he
heard a little ripple of merriment.

MOTHER BIRD IMPRISONED.
A remarkable mode of incarccra- |
tion is practiced ly the hornbills ,
birds with immense bills and horny' '
crests , which inhabit southern Asia ,
the Malayan islands and central and' '
southern Africa. In most , if not *
all , species the brooding female ia
walled up in a hollow tree and fcdJ
by her mate. She remains confined
in her prison until the eggs are
hatched , and in some species until
the young birds are able to fly.
Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of flight , aa
she has moulted or , at least , shed
all her wing feathers during her
captivity. Hut the male is inde
fatigable in providing for his fam
ily , and is said to work so hard that
he is reduced almost lo n skeleton at
Hie end of the brooding season.
TRIBUTE TO CHEF.
The late John Price Wetherill of
Philadelphia had the reputation of
giving the best dinners and serving
the best wines of any Pennsylvania i
Mr. Wetherill had a certain odd ,
quaint humor. At a dinner that he
gave last year the fish course was un
usually good. He praised his chef
ardently , concluding : "But he is
best of all with fish. Why , he pre
pares fish so exquisitely that from
the frying pan they give him admiring - '
ing and grateful looks. "
