They all vanished like mists before the son when I saw Georgie when she came forward to meet me in the splendor of her magnificent beauty. We were alone. I took her in my arms, and, giving myself over to the force of a passion that overwhelmed every other feeling, I swore to her I loved her as never woman had been loved. Some days went by. One evening on my return from town Georgie inquired archly, "you must be growing tired of being my lover. How much longer do yon think you oan play the part a week?"

One day he was passing the offlc of a well-known hair restorative establishment on S ttt to street, Chicago. His partner, Mr. Benham, was with him and said S "We ought to get an advertisement out of this establishment. Opie looked in and saw a family of country' people inside, xu get uxor you ngut now, jattt - t he, and in he -walked.

Upie waiKed up to the manager, and putting out his hand, warmly said: "My dear sir, I have come a long way to thank you in person and to show yon what your restorative has done for me." Here ha took off his old black slouch hat and shook out his long and wonderfully thick, fine hair. "There, sir," said he gratefully, look at that. Four months ago, you remember, I was as bald as that electric lamp up there." "What did yon do for it?" put in the interested countryman. "Used this restorer four dozen bottles of it according to directions." The upshot of it waa. the countryman took two dozen bottles and went bis way.' "There," said Opie to his partner, "now you talk business with this man, and I guess youll et a pretty good advertisement out ofhim. ' When the manager learned who Opie was he said: : "Yon can put me down for the biggest ad in your paper and send in your bill when you please." Washington Post Scenes lit Coal Kegieng. The homes of many coal-miners in Pennsylvania are said to be dirty, and no large? than ordinary goat-sheds, so poverty-stricken are the laborers. Host miners in Pennsylvania coal regions are foreigners, and are pronounced to be specimens of the lowest types of humanity. Women and children aresubjeoted to barbarous cruelty by those acquaintances whom they number as friends. The children born in the mining; regions either grow up to be criminals and assassins or are killed before they grow up by their drunken fathers ana brothers. The Pennsylvania laws provide fair schools for them, but their parents axe so poor that they can't send their offspring to them. . Miners are never -paid for their serv ices in cash.

Too much of either of these easily becomes nauseating, and in some cases causes sickness, but. the former class probably rarely.

The Same Name. Borne years ago a very rich resident Of Boston a several-millionaire, in faot was considerably bothered because there lived in town a mail whose name was exactly the same as his Barton Tucker, we may call it at a venture. After he had stood it a good while, Mr. Barton Tucker, the millionaire, sought out his nam -sake, and found that he was a teamster,. and a poor man at that. "Is your name Barton Tucker?1' asked the millionaire of the truckman, who had just completed taking the feed,bags off his horses' noses, and was preparing to move On, "That's my name, sir," said the truckman. "Well, it's my name, too. I came to see you and make a proposition to yon. Yon see, your letters come to me, and I dare say some of mine have coma to you, which isn't pleasant for a man of my responsibilities. Now I want to ask yon a plain question.'' "Fire away!" "How much money would it take to induce you to go before the Legislature and get your name changed to something else?" The truckman gave a long whistle, and then he said with a big oath, if the truth must be told as he mounted his seat: "It would take a darned sight more money than you've got, Mr, Barton Tucker 1 Git up!" Then his conveyance lumbered away down the street, leaving the millionaire to reflect that a poor man's name may be as dear to him as a rich man's.

In a ride of ten miles this morning, occupying thirty-five minutes, four young women, just aoross the aisle from me, occupied the entire time in discussing the wording of a telegram which they designed to send. One of the four had left her wallet behind, and desired to telegraph for it to be sent after her. " 'Now, we must get it in ten words,' said one. 'Let's see. Go to top bureau drawer in my room, get pocketbook, take to train' . " 'That's too long,' interrupted another. 'You don't need to say in my room, for of course your drawer is in your room.' 'Go to top. bureau drawer, get pocketbook " 'Purse, say pursa' " 'Go to top bureau drawer, get purse, take to train " 'You want to say something about being in a hurry, so they will deliver it at once, right off.' 'Get purse from top bureau drawer, take train, please deliver. How would that do?' " 'Why not say fiaste, or immediate, or hurry?' "And so they went on and on and on to the end of the chapter, until the people about them oonld think of nothing else save top bureau drawers and pooketbooks, and they did not cease until the train ran into the station at Boston.
