NOT ALTOGETHER A WASTE
Westerner's Own Experience Proved
That Some People Read High.
Placed Signs.
For half a day u ninu from the
west lind been stumbling through
downtown alrcols , studying the sky
line of high buildings.
" 1 guess you don't hnvo anything
like that out your way , oh ? " snid a
New York acquaintance.
" \VoVo got the buildings nil
roght , " said the westerner , "but we
have no people who arc auch blamed
'ools as to paint , their namca on
he tenth-story windows. All the
ligh buildings in this town have the
lames of business firms spread over
he windows clear up to the top
floor. They don't do that in any
other city in the United States. Out
west we'd cull it a foolish waste of
uoney to paint the names higher
ip than the fifth story. They don't
lo any good above that. Nobody can
see thi'iu without putting bis neck
out of joint looking skyward , and
very few people feel inclined to tlo
that. "
"You did. " said the Now Yorker
Iryly. "Possiblj * our business moil
uul sign painters find it to their ad
vantage to cater to the curiosity of
fellows like vou. " X. Y. Time * .
FRANKNESS IN INVITATIONS.
Among curiosities which are
models of frankness is I be follow
ing :
"Lord and Lady Spencer request
I be honor of company at
dinner at half after six o'clock on
. An answer is particularly
desired. Nobody waited for after
seven o'clock. " On main- invitations
the lime was of course stated and
"A polite answer requested , " or
sometimes "A reply would oblige1
but the letters " 1 ? . R. V. P. " were
hardly over used at this date , their
first mention being in 1781 , on the
card of Lord and Lady Kerry , says
the Windsor ilagaxine. Indeed till
quite recently "An answer will
oblige" was the most general formu
la , and it is only in the last 30 years
that the French form has been at
all generally adopted in this country.
HORSE KNOWS NUMBERS.
Whenever the fire alarm sounds
in a certain Chicago engine house
nn intelligent gray horse , one of the
veterans in the service , assumes n
listening attitude , and seems to count
the strokes. If it is the number that
will call him out he at once
starts , as much as to say "I'm ready
for action. " If some other number
is struck bo leans over and nibble ?
the car of his mate in a manner that
says , "It's nothing to us , old chap ;
we're not called for. "
The firemen say that that horse
counts just ns accurately as a per
son could. It surely looks as if ho
did , and he never makes a mistake.
JUST OUT OF THE TUNNEL.
"Jacky. dear , do you know you
kissed ino on the nose Just now ? "
"Oil , dear ! that was entirely out of
place , wasn't It ? "
WHY SHE WEPT.
A man accompanied by a womai
applied fora marriage license. While
the document was being prepared
the woman began to weep.
"What is the matter ? " inquire *
the clerk in surprise. "You ougb
not to cry on the eve of so mucl
happiness. "
"It isn't that , sir , " sobbed the
bride-elect. " [ was jiiaj : thinking o
my first husband. He only died las
Friday. "
THE DANGER.
"Do you think the railways are
ready to take the public by th
throat ? " asked the alarmist.
' Certainly not , " answered Mr
Sinus Hurkor. "Nobody carries hi
pocket book in his throat. "

The sermon at St. Thomas
church Sunday evening was one
of the best ever listened to in this
city. Rev. Neidc is certainly a
scholarly man and a fine speaker
and that he is appreciated is evi
denced by his constantly increas
ing congregations. Not only was
the sermon fine , but the music
was of the very best. Beside the
regular music , Miss Jessie Paxton
sang a beautiful solo. This was
Miss Paxton's first attempt as a
soloist , and her effort was a
revelation , as she possesses a
voice not only sweet , but power
ful. On next Sunday evening
Miss Paxtou has been prevailed
upon to sing for the offertory solo ,
"Shepherd Divine" by Jerome.
