A clever girl, who would make a sensation in society if fate had been a little more kind to her in a material way, lives on a fid? street and is a constant source of amusement and Joy to her little circle of friends. She Is in"r; she is compelled to turn and return her gowns; trim and retrim her bonnets and make ail sorts of little sacrifice, and all because fate decreed that her father should be a quiet, unambitious, conscientious, dreaming sort of a fellow, instead of a bustling, moneymaking, successful merchant. This girl has brains and gxd looks, and. what is better, originality, but she Is compelled very often to walk because she has no car fare. She amuses herself with all forts of things that other girls seldom think of. Her latest exploit Is e class of Chinamen, Into whose wooden heids she Is endeavoring to inject a faint Idea of the Iii litatlorus of the English language and incidentally the Christian religion. In her class, on a recent Sun-day, she was giving Chlng Fol an object lesson on the wonderful creations of God. "See, Chlng," she naid, "see this beautiful rose. God made this rose. He made it to look pretty and smell sweet. God made nil things, Chlng. He made you and He made me. Now tell me, Ching, who made the rose?" Chlng grinned and said: "God, He makee lose." ' "That's right, Chlng. Now, why did He make the rose?" "He makee lose to look pretty and smellee sweet." "That's right. Who made you, Chlng?" "God makee me," replied Chlng. "He makee me to look pretty and smelie sweet." She Is endeavoring to teach the Chinamen a few other things, but will let personal fttmiles with the rose rent for a while. Kansas City Star.
