Tamed the Box Office Man. A theater box office man whose seats were all sold days aliea” was turning away disappointed patrons more than gruffly when a man who had watched the process with glowing ire reached the window. •‘Selling any more seats this season?” be began. The ticket seller answered with a stare. The question, quietly but firmly repeated, finally received an affirmative answer. "Give me two." “When?" growled the seller, recovering. "Any time.” said the man. The seller was almost too crushed to ask “Where?" "Anywhere." replied the man. "How much?" whispered the seller, his voice deserting him. "Any price." said the man. The tickets were transferred in an awed silence, and the line of purchasers that had overheard smiled benevolently at the noticeably tamed man in the cage,—New York Post. Antiquity of Proverb*. Proterbs existed long before book*. In the earliest times they served as the unwritten language of morality and have been passed down through the generations. In Africa there are numerous quaint proverbs. Among them are: "He who dives on dry land will scarify his face.” "Two people cannot sit down upon the point of the same thorn at the same time." In the Transvaal the proverb. "Beware of a silent man: he has a brass band in his mouth,” is often beard. Holmes on Shelley. Shelley vaporized everything in his glowing crucible, but there was gold at the bottom of it. When 1 look at him spreading the starry wing* of his fancy over his chaotic philosophy he seems like a seraph hovering over the unfathomable chasm, whose blackness is the abode of demons.—" Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” Her Reasoning. Wife (at the costumer's i—Which shall 1 have—this coat at 40 marks or ; that one at 70? Husband—l bare only | 40 marks with me. Wise —Oh. well. | then, we'll buy the seventy mark coat on credit and then you can buy me a sat with the 40 marks.—Lustige Blatter. Crushed. “If I could only die and leave you well off." be said after they had had their first quarrel, "I would be glad to go.” "How." she cruelly asked, “could you die and leave me otherwise than well offr-Chicago Record-Herald. He Was Willing.

A good, kind man unfortunately married a shrewish wife, and the woman changed bis nature. One morning after his wife had called him a good for nothing loafer and snatched his breakfast away be started off, hungry and sore, for work. A sour looking woman entered the car he was on. She got into a violent dispute with the conductor over her change. Finally, red with rage, she looked about her wnd said, “Is there a gentleman in this car who will stand by and see a lady Insulted?” The hungry man whose nature had been spoiled rose eagerly. “Yes, madam." he said; "I will.” The Nature of Love. Love is the’river of life in this world Think not that ye know it who stand st the little t’nkllug rill—the first small fountain. Not until you have gone through the rocky srorees and not lost the stream; not until you have gone through the meadow, and the stream has widened and deepened until fleets could ride upon its bosom: not until beyond the meadow you have come to the unfathomable ocean and poured your treasures into its depths—not until then can you know what love to.— Henry Ward Beecher. Takes No Chance*. "Remember." said the kind elderly

gentleman. 'that you may be president of the United States" “Yes." answered the tx>y whose father is connected with the race track, “but look at the population of this country. I’ve only got one chance in millions. I ain’t playing any long shots like that.” —Washington Star.
