She made no move to recover the money, but when the conductor came In to collect her fare she pointed with tho tip of her handsome parasol to the coin. "I dropped my faro," she said snappishly; "pick it up." The young conductor looked her In the eye for just a moment and then, stooping, he picked the coin from between the slats on the floor covering.

When a woman has uothlng else lo do. sho remembers a lot of sewing she hits long negluctod. Men are usually willing to arbitrato only when tho chances aro thoy would be whlppod in n light. If there Is anything lu the pru-ex-istetico theory, what a lot of rabbits there were many years ago! Ask anyone about a sick person, and they usually will, reply: "Sho Is a little bettor, but awful weak." Don't look at tho President of any of the bunks, the heads of tho wholesale houses or big retail stores, or the lending lawyers to find out about the latest style In clothing. Hunt up tho boys who are on a salary of $7.50 a week. You havo to be healthy to bo polite. Don't sulk; sulks affect the liver. Nothing pleases a farmer more thau to "call" n town man's bluff. The little mean tricks cuuso more trouble than the big ones. The best missionary work a girl can do is to help her mother. There are more varieties of bad luck than of any one other thing in the world. , A shrewd man without money is a better investment for a girl than a fool with money. As a man gets older it takes him longer to warm up to a good time, and longer to got over It. How tendor and devoted a young man Is to an old lady, when a pretty young girl Is looking at him. When a woman goes to the trouble of getting up a big dinner it is too bad to disappoint her. A man will fall In love with tiny clover woman who will treat him as though he were abused. When a man manages an amateur show, or has a new baby at his house, ho says: "Well, it is the last time." If a woman had her way. she would watch what her husband sees aud hears as carefully as what the baby oats. v Quit trving to fool people; you can't do It. Besides, why should you want to fool people? Thero is something disreputable about every attempt to fool people. A woman's heart never ronlly flutters with Joy until her pastor tells her he has missed seeing her at church. The girls should take care: A lot of the young boys who pose as candy kids develop later In life into lemon drops. If another man gets a higher salary than you receive. It Is probably because he Is worth more. Employers do not pick out men to pay good wagos to because they have curly hair. This may bo depended upon: A girl who has her picture tuken with her dress cut vory low will kiss strange boys. Some way. people always laugh when they hear a man has bought a dog. As a rule, a maz, wants to try a dog before ho will let you glvo it to him. There Is a good deal of talk about women not getting th'lr rights; but who sit at home In a cool room these hot afternoons in Mother Hubbards, with ice water handy ? Is It the men? Mothers should examine the sleeves In their daughter's dresses. If they aro smashed flat It Indicates that the young man In the case Is a hugger, and the girl should have a chaperon. When there is a spot on the tablecloth at the guest's place, and the hostess ofTers no apology lo him, It is time for the guest to take tho hint and go. The average girl brought up In a religious family has the same fleice desire to become a missionary that a boy has to go out West and fight Indians. The real dread of men is not tho devil, but old age An old gentleman, who Is considerably past 70. yesterday worked 12 hours on a farm below town picking peas. He managed to onrn 02 cents. He needs a pair of shoes and is working to earn ihm. When a woman sits down in the audience and hears her daughter read hor coitimei.cement ess&v . sho marvels at the self-control shown by the Spins around her. who are plainly restraining themselves from gnashing their teeth in envy. Every man has the feeling that he Is "tied down." nnd It irritates him. Sometimes It Is an Imaginary obligation to a friend, an acquaintance, or a member of his family. Women have the same feeling, and the whole trouble originates In the fact that people aro too dependent upon each other. If you are going anywhere, go alone; don't be tied by the feeling that you must call for half a dozen people. If you want to do anything that Is proper and within your rights, do it; don't lie "tied" by the feeling that you must first explain a very Intiocent action to every acquaintance you have on top of the ground. Atchison (Kansas) Globe.

Orchestral Oversights. The snare drummer happened to catch a selection that called for thuse of half a dozen or more Instruments. To make the shift from one lo another he had to hustle In a fashion that nightly impressed persons sitting near. When he had finished the lively operation he was pufitng and blowing nnd the persplrutlon was coming out In streams. A man just outside the orchestra vail leaned forward and, pointing to the score, remarked. "That was good work, old man, but you missed one place." "I did!" responded the drummer I surprise. "Why. I thought t played everything that came my way." "No," the other resumed, "you didn't do everything, and I saw the leader glance at you.
