"How couM you make up your m!ml to send Jle?sle to boarding school?" was asked of a devoted mother, says a. writer in the Iew York Tribune. "1 thought you always saM you would never part from her?" "tk I did," returned the other, "and so I always thought, but I have sent Iies.ie away for the sole reason, that X wish pome one ese to say 'don't' to Ikt instead of myself!" There i3 a Rood deal of concealed wUJom Li this th-rple Utile speech. Constant rexr.ImUra and criticlviis, fuch as the moat aTTectionaio children are apt to generalize under the title of "naming," strain "the relations between parent and child. The children often become callous or indifferent, or, what is even v.oree, grow to dread the of:-rcitated admonition?, and are more at eae, and therefore hafpier, away from thdr cMers. And yet -youn people are so ignorant of moral distinctions, and of the world and lis usages, that even rhe most exemplary have to "be f requcntly admonUhed and taught tho difference between thi3 and that. "What Is Jack doing, Maud?" said one of Du Maurier's pretty young mothers In "Punch." "I do not know, mamma," returned the littlo one.

The profit on the weekly board bill 13

ing" energy pent In trying to provide for

the wants of the guests. A boarding-house

keeper's labors are unceasing. Seven days

in the week, early and late, she strives against many discouragements for the email profit left to her credit, and It surely would

be a very small mattf?r on the part of her guests, even if they cannot lighten her la

bor, to seek not to add to It.

Of course, there are two sides to every

question, and especially to the boarding-

house question. "While the guests are often at fault In the unpleasant relations that cften occur, it must be admitted that the

other side of the question Is not always

satisfactory, especially when extravagant charges and poor service are taken into

consideration.

If you look around you will also find that thoso who have been used to aflluence, but who board from necessity, are the ones

who, usually prove the most satisfactory guests, and who- h-ave the courtesy and tact

Don't tret indignant because you can't al

hour.

Don't prow restless and cross if you are

not attended to the moment you take your

rlace at the table.

Don't discuss the affairs of your hostess with the servants.

Don't question the maids about the other

guests In the house.

Don't discuss your private affairs at the

tarue.

Don't make your hostess a repository of all your troubles. Don't try to become Intimate with the

other boarders. .

Above all things, don't listen to or repeat

the gowip that usually floats about. Mind

your own affairs and you won't be so apt

The Man' Side.

other fide to the etcry. It i3 In favor of the

Benedicts who have served a3 targets time

and again for feminine criticism on the sub

ject of these matrimonial lapses.

To be sure. If a man has a goodly-sized

bank account In the background, either in

difference or thoughtlessness must explain

hi3 failure to live up to his past record in

the matter of lover-like attentions, but the average brother, in taking to himself a mate, feels keenly the doubling up of expenses In every detail of daily living. Then

It is that the practicalities of life push to the fore.

Instead of stepping in to the florist's on

his way home (o dinner, he must pay a visit to the grocer and hand over hard cash for a

mixture of Java and Mocha.

The vision of a tender smile upon the pre

sentation of some glowing Jacques vanishes before the grim certainty that their counterparts in silk upon a spring chapeau are yet

to be paid for.

And that feminine sweet tooth! Hardly

It is mighty little encouragement to a

Pots for Gron-lnjr Plants.

Ladies Home Journal.

The decorated stone pots so largely in use

in drawing rooms for growing plants need

to bo selected with care. They should not

only be adapted in coloring to the plants they

are to ihold, but there should be a harmony

in the Jar3 themselves, as no matter how beautiful each Individual one may be, If there is incongruity In the coloring the whole effect will be displeasing. Even' an unedu

cated eye .would detect the inharmonious effect without being able to discover the

cause.

Plain jars are best for flowering plants,

while palms look well in those which are

ornamented with figures in relief. Leeds

ware Is inexpensive and the colors are clear and exquisite, thoso In deep yellow and pale

mother of so lovely a daughter. "So gifted.

bo wonderful, so sweet," was heard on all

B'des. "Well, and so it ought to be," burst forth the mother finally, "for it cost more

than 57.000. Of course." as her listeners gave a little gasp, "I don't mean to insinuate that I regret having spent that much

money upon my daughter far from it.

much more than $7,X, what with the year of study abroad, and that, too, simply her

A pretty entertainment given for the benefit of one of our hospitals consisted of

a march and three sets of dances given by

a number of young people. . For the first

dance the costumes were those worn by

hospital nurses and house physicians. The second sot, called a jowder and patch dance," was a minuet. The dancers wore

old-times dresses and powdered hair, with p!e ity of patches to add to their fairness.

The third and last dance was that of char

Twenty Garter.

Philadelphia Times. It was at a swell wedding that recently took place in New Jersey. The bride became the willing martyr to the superstition that brides anl bridesmaids have delighted in for generations. Whoever receives the garter that a bride Jias worn upon her wedd.r.g day, runs the saying, shall herself become a bride before the year goes out. A8 the Orange weddlug, therefore, where there were eight bridesmaids and a dozen or more girlish assistants, requests for the bride's garters proved so many as to be emtanassEut the briie was an original as well an obliging young woman, wio thought it

character of head surgeon of the village repair shop can mend anything from a watch to a Jigger wagon, he doesn't boast of hL acquirements. But as to his height

he feels that he can safely lay claim to be

men have come and seen him and braced shoulders and chalked with him on his

shop door until the scratches on the inter

So, by his request, Mr. Kelley was passed in. The circus giant stood on the vantage ground of an ascending slope; he wore a bearskin cap. high-heeled shoes and

had his shoulders padded elaborately. But even under the disguise the bystanders could see that he was not a fair match for the local giant had he stripped off his plumage and "come down off his perch" on the embankment. Mr. Kelley. dressed for

the street, measures from the pround to

ever grown. He is symmetrical, too, weigh

post weighing pounds. Several alleged

Professor can hardly be charge I with hav

egraph operator, who ticked off a warning to hi companion with a fork or a buncstarter or some other convenient apparatus, such as is not employed In telegraphy. Regularly every seventeen months that

story is circulated. Regularly as tides or

taxes or the departure of Mr. Anson for

Hot Springs with a club of sure pennant winners. When It .was first born operators

derided it and hooed at it. That was in

its infancy. They refused to hold it in

their arms or chuck. It under its chin in a

spirit of approval. Then It came again, when It hid reached the age of walking

and of cutting teeth and of breaking things destructible. The telegraphers shooed it away and would none of it. It advanced to the periods of youth, young manhood, respectable middle .age, and finally passed

on to senility.

The story runs like this: 'Two telerra-

phera were sitting in a (saloon, barber shop,

hotel office, harness shop, grocery), talking of old times. One related to the other that

he had one enemy in the world whom he

dreaded, for the villain had sworn to take

that he was sending him a telegraphic mes

shot the newcomer."

TELL A GOOD ONE. . If people must tell telegraph stories, why not tell truthful and reasonable ones such as are susceptible of proof? For Instance, why has nobody thought, it. worth while to tell the world about Tanquary's dog?

There, is a narrative, beautiful, chaste and

instructive, and one to which every opk A . i T r m

eraiur oa me uenver & iuo uranae, irom Denver to Pueblo, will swear. The facts

are simple and elevating. Tanquary was an

operator at Graneros, Col., a metropolis, made up of a freight car, set off to one

side of the road for use as a telegraph of

fice and the house of the section foreman. Sundry coyotes and other wild fowl raised their voices in insurrection In the night, and the sand and rocks baked and quivered

in the day. And Tanquary got lonesome.

Perham sent him a dog. A mean-looking

""' minsieu oreeumgr, mostly bad and with a tali of the length, breadth and thickness of a banana. But he was welcome to Tanquary. who didn't even hav

an occasional txamp to shoot at, or any

umtr permissible- means or re axation Tanquary taught the dog to go to the section foreman's house, where he boarded and fetch his lunch, although at first tho

dog was inclined to make a Roman hniMv

of the food, causing Tanquary much irri

tation ana ratipue rrom beating him. The operator taught the dog to stand on his head, to leap sidewise, to chew tobacco, and some other accomplishments Anri r

his own account the dog secretly set to

worn to learn other things, of which Tanquary knew nothing. The two were much

auacnea to eacn otner, as Is the case al

ways wun people or similar habits. So much so that when Tannuarv went on hi

customary semi-annual trip north to see if

weaver was sun tnere, and help to renovate, reconstruct and paint it, he took the dog along. They had sundry adventures which may be passed over In sil

sorrow, and finally brought -up in a poker

game uenmu a caroer snop in W auzee

street, inree utter strangers having decided

iu Kamer in me teiegrrapners six months' salary. They played with great energy and unceasingly, until the railroad man had reached the dregs of his pocketbook. He looked about him in sorrow, and his eyes fell on his dog, which had taken a position on a chair across the room and which seemed to be much interested. .'If.,?'0A people are Prts," said Tan, "you'll let me put that dog in against a dollar s worth of excitement and we wll' go it a little longer." Then he told of the accomplishments of the .dog. and put him through a few tricks. The dog seemed to be worried about it, and you could see he was not at all satisfied with his new duty of masquerading as a Jackpot. The three sports, being satisfied with the animal's educational advantages, acceded to theon-

,erator s request. ,

THE MYSTERIOUS FRIEND.' Whereupon the came became one of life and death. Tanquary, after the draw, found himself possessed of two kings and the same number of tens.. All but one of the strangers fell by the wayside, and Tan was getting worried about the single opponent he had, for the fellow had held up three cards. The operator weighed his hand, looked at It," felt it, and tested it by all his other senses, for he didn't want to fritter away his dog on nothing. Suddenly he heard a sound as of the falling of manna. His telegraphic ear caug-ht from some mysterious source these Morse characters: .... .... . ... .. , ... . ..." Tanquary was one of those men who did rot inquire into the whys and wherefores of Providence, When & miracle was performed, the purport of which was to inform him that the other man was bluffing severely on deuces, he accepted it without cavil and played back with all his strength The result was that he garnered S2.Jsa on that pot and was staked for the next deal They started In again and Tan got three kings. He was inclined to bet like an amateur in - the hands of a tout at a race track, but suddenly across his organ of hearing came the low, sullen statement: . . .. ... m ... . . . . . . . . .. - t Tanquary cast a hurrUd and startled g.anoe about to see If the angel and minister of grace would make himself visible as well as audible, but saw nothing of the kind. Nevertheless, he threw down his king3, losing 10 cents. On the next hand he reaped 112 on a .soirlt manifestation by telegraph of .a pair of fives in one man's hand, a bobtail flush in that of another, and two pairs, kings up, in that of the third, while he himself had three small threes. As the night progressed the operator grew in wealth, until one by one the three sports fell by the wayside, and In the gray of the morning the man from Grane ros gathere4,up $1,743.00 and rose to go. "Well," snarled one of the three foemen, the last to succumb, "I hope that now you have money enough to buy that infernal dog of .yours some grub. He has been standing up there on that chair wagging his measly stub of a three-inch tall and pounding against the -woodwork with it all the night in anticipation of the feed your winnings would buy him." Tanquary looked up in a rather startled way. for a great truth was dawning upon him. It was true.. The dog had stood for five hours on the chair to the rear of the other men, and the operator saw that fats' small, stiff tall was sandwiched between two uprights belonging to the back of the furniture. As he looked, the tali took on action and this message was borne to him:
