' "It I had such a trip in prospect I should be so happy that I I but .then I suppose nothing of that kind can ever come to poor little me." : "From India the probabilities are that .1 shall go to South Africa, stop ping off at Cape Town. Then I shall proceed northward, perhaps to Lis bon." "Lisbon! Oh, I never hear the name of that place without a thriU. It some how always seems so romantic to me. t think that of all the cities of Europe Lisbon is the one I would prefer to "From Lisbon, according to the itin erary Ixhave laid out for myself, I shall go to Madrid and from Madrid to Rome." "Won't that be glorious! I cant understand how yon are able to talk about it so calmly. I can't tell you now I am longing to take such a trip as that If I were told that I might go if I were ready to-morrow, I would be ready." "After I leave Rome I may go across to Constantinople, but "I shall cut. out that part of it if I can, and go straight- to Paris." "Yes, I think I should do that, too, if I had my way. Somehow I never felt much interest in Constantinople. I should prefer to put in my extra time in Paris or Berlin or London." It's probable that I shall have to spend some time in England perhaps six months or more." - "I cant think of anything that would be more agreeable to me than that. How I should like to Journey down English lanes and loiter by those hedges that I have so often read about And than London! Think of actually being there and not having to wake up and and that it was only a dream!" r "Yes, it would be pretty fine. I gather enjoy traveling myself. Of course, I shouldn't want to have to do It all my life, but a year or two of it will, I think, be a good thing for me. it is likely to broaden my ideas," I "That la Just the way I feel about It And then it would he so interesting to always have jone wao whom to talk about the aights and the an that" , "Wan, It would be rather tan to feavn It arranged that way.

"I think I may safely assert thAt the average woman haa today a finer lit .erary taste than the average man. It used to to different Women used to read nothing but the 'Duch ess,' Mrs. Southworth, Bertha M. Clay and writers of that class. Now they, read Howeus, Joseph Conrad, Kipling, Wells, Mrs. Wharton, Hardy, W. W. Jacobs, George Meredith and ao on. "So much for my average woman patron. My average man patron reads Conan Doyle, Hall Caine, Rider Hag gard, Winston Churchill writers of the popular class. 1 suppose It ia the higher education and the greater freedom now allowed women that have improved their liter ary taste ao tremendously." Several Things. "There's a young man," said the firm, "who seems to have something in him" "Tea," replied the chief clerk, "I Just saw him taking a drink of un altered water." Chicago Record-Herald. Horse Had Manners. One of St. Johnsbury's best-known .(characters and one who has had name and fame perpetuated by having a likeness of himself and team printed on a colored post card, Is Orville Law rence, formerly associated with the 4ate Russell Sage on Wall street in the .early fifties, but being less fortunate than Mr. Sage he has become reduced in circumstances, and now drives -around town in a more or less dilapi dated looking outfit, says a writer in the Boston Herald. sOrville's wit is keen and he always has an answer ready for any of his friends who attempted to chaff him. One day Orville appeared driving a horse which interfered badly, and, like its driver, had evidently seen bet ter days. A prominent business man of the place accosted Orville with the re knark: "Say Orartlle, your horse seems to interfere some!" to which Orville promptly replied: "He ain't lnterfer Ing with your business, Is he?" Rigors of Alpine Winter. . . The situation in Switzerland, owing to snowstorms, is much worse than is revealed by the scant telegrams leav ing the country. The state of things has rarely been ao bad at this time of year. The uplands already lie two yards deep under snow, and the mountain villages of Simplon and other villages are absolutely cut off from the rest of the country. An attempt has been made in the leglslaature to induce the government to keep these passes open all the year, but the cost was declared to be prohibitory. From Berne in the beginning of the week several diligences were long overdue, and their antral was await ed with anxiety. A number of peas ants who had gone with cattle from the valleys to the uplands had also been caught, and were quite unable to descend, while efforts to reachthem Involved much danger. Wise A hOnd street musician, reports a Chinese paper, stood on" the shore of n river, pussled how to cross the stream. He implored an oil dealer, who happened to come along, to as sist -him. The on dealer had pity- on the helpless man, took him on his shoulders, gave him his money hag to hold and carried him across. When he deposited his burden on the other shore the bund man refused to return him his money bag. raised a noise and declared that the money waa hia pcopeitj. 'The matter came before the Judge, and each man aald on oath that the money belonged to him. The Judge finally ordered the bag of money emp tied Into a water tank, and then eud- announced that the oil dealer the owner. When naked for the for hia decision, he declared that the money of the oft dealer certainly show traces of hia and.

It was a funny notion, of her to ask me to look at the even ing star every night at the same time she did and think of her! She's worth thinking of all right and I rather like her sentiment about the star. It'a very plain that she thinks a lot of me. Sometimes I have a notion that the best thing I can do is to be kind to her and give up my bachelor ways. When a nice little thing like her appreciates a fellow and Is so fond' of him well. It sort of goes to his head. 8he wanted to know the other even ing why I objected so seriously to matrimony. I don't object to it. I approve of it for some people. I be lieve that occasionally It is even suc cessful. But her Idea about a man's loving only once is all tommyrot I consider that Idea an unwarranted be littling of his sentimental capacity. However, it'a all right for her to have those ideas, and I like her to keep them. A man becomes a bachelor by selec tionat least, only the- undesirable ones have it forced upon them, and no doubt they deserve their fate. By se lecting a wife so much younger than I am I can be sure that she will look up to me, think as I. do on all subjects and idolise me generally. It is best so. When she gave me that crocheted necktie last evening, her eyes danced with admiration as she held it up to me. She seemed pleased, too, when I They Have My Blessing." told her I would put it away and never bring it before the gaze of a cold and unappreciative - public How pretty she looked! Her eyes are the color of the sea. l This smoke is gradually getting the upper hand of me. It gives a fellow a subtle suggestion of mingled memories of moonlight and stars. I'll stop think ing of her. She Is so naive. I met her at one of the stores -yesterday and she asked me to go with her to buy something for a birthday present for -a friend a gentleman of whom she was very fond. It was evident that I was the friend, for no one could doubt the story written In those Innocent blue eyes. t We went from neckties to fobs, to umbrellas audi back to neckties. The clerks were very attentive to us and' she shyly said: "They think we are sweethearts." I couldn't help telling her that I waa proud to have them think so. - It almost staggered me, though, when she pouncedon a mustache cup labeled "From a Loving Giver." She asked me if I didn't think that was a nice sentiment and I declared that any man would stay awake nights to read it So she bought the cup evi dently forgetting that I always wear a smooth face. However, I shall treas ure the gift I think I may as well go over there now and, if the propitious moment ar rives, who knows but to-night may see her happy and me bound with rosy fetters? WeU, I didn't stay over there long, anyway. I feel that I have narrowly escaped with my life and my free dom. The Uttle girl was not at home. Her mother said that she was at the thea ter with her fiance that puppy Ben- I suggested that they were rather young. "They have my blessing." said she, "and you know the heart is never too young nor too old to heed the cry of love. Even I if the right man asked me" It was not the words so much aa the look that accompanied them that terrified me and drove me into the street with my overcoat on my arm. I felt sure of one thing I didn't care to be "papa" either to the little girl or to Benson. I am beginning to understand the onslaughts, of women like her who lay snares for the unwary feet of unsus pecting bachelors. And at least I am safe from receiv ing that foolish cup.

And how on earth did they know what you needed? And why did they do It and" "Smith A Smith sent some of them," Interrupted, the red-headed girl, happily, "and Jones company sent others, and Brown & Green sent others and I paid for them aU my self. You see, it was this way, I have been working in this stupid old town for ten years, denying myself every thing I really want because It's too expensive, and putting money in the bank and saving up every year for Christmas and then spending all I've saved on a lot of presents and dps and things for others that v I couldn't afford for myself I had just a hundred dollars in the bank this year, and I drew $50 of it out to go and buy Christmas presents with, and to distribute round among the boarding house servants in tips. I wasn't looking forward to the holi day season very joyously, because nobody ever sends me anything I want and I'm so poor and pinched for weeks afterward that the season of good will is only a miserable tragic farce with me. "Well, I started down to the shop with that money and my list in my pocket Here's the list now:' Five .dollars for father a new smoking jacket Five dollars for mother a dress pattern. Fifteen dollars In trinkets to be distributed among brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts. Ten dollars for Jack a watch charm. Five dollars for charity to folks. poor . Five dollars for Uttle tricks for girl friends. Five dollars for tips. - "While I was looking for father'a smoking Jacket my eye feH on this green silk petticoat I became fascin ated.

O. D. I reflected that tf I had a change of heart or my conscience hurt me I could send it back again and any I did not want ft But the madness had got into my blood. I went to look for aome black gloves for Aunt Elinor and I came away with these long white ones. I hunted for cheap handkerchiefs for Cousin Kate and walked out with this duchesse thing. I sought stockings for my oldest sister, Carrie, and came away with this box of silk dar lings. I waa just about to buy some sachet for my chum Bertha when I saw the extract bottle here done up In a velvet box and fell. When I got home that night I waa horrified to find that I had spent nearly the whole of my hundred. I rushed down to the bank- next morning, clinched my teeth, shut my eyes and drew the rest of It out Then the things began to arrive. Oh, it waa glorious; Just nke the visits of 1 had most longed for. Every time the doorbeU rang my heart went pity-the- folks at home. But I never was so nappy in my nfe. They say virtue is it'a own reward, and I believe it But the rewards of sin and selfishness un confined, unlimited, unbounded. I never had such n Christmas in my life. "I sat down and wrote sweet letters of cheer and comfort to all the dear creatures at home. I told them how hard I was working and that I had decided to give no Christmas gifts this season and " "But Jack!" broke in the other, "How did you explain it to Jack?" "Oh, I picked a quarrel with him. Ill make it up on New Year's and it wffl be all the sweeter. Anyway, it Isn't wise to let a man think you are too fond of him. I believe the watch charm would have been overdoing it don't you?" "And the servants!" persisted the other girl. "Won't they make your life torture for a year?" "Not at all. You -see, I was tired of that place, -anyhow. So I just stayed there untU Christmas waa over and then I moved." At a child's party lately one boy created quite a sensation in his efforts to outdo the others. They were play ing "Button, button, who's got the but ton?" and presently, after a very con fusing hunt the mother of the Uttle hostess said: "No one seems to have the button. Now, who had It at the beginning of the gamer "I did!" exclaimed a Uttle girt. "To whom did yon give it?" asked the lady. "Tommy Jones, ma'am." "Tommy, to whom did yon give it?" Silence. "Speak up.
