THE SCRAP

What He Needed. Chauncey Olcott once visited the wishing; well at Killarney with two plain, elderly spinsters. Beside the well eat an old woman, who looked up Into Mr. Olcott's face and asked: "Phwat are you wlshin for?" "What do yoiJ think I wish for?" he food naturedly Inquired. "Och. for a beautiful young: swatefceart, of course." He pointed to the two spinsters, who Stood at a little distance. "Don't you see I have two with me?" "Ah, thin, it's the grace o' God you're rishin for." THE 8WEETEST LIVES. Ths sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small. Are close knit strands of an unbroken thread Where love ennobles alL The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells The book of life the shining record tells. Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes After its own life workings. A child's kiss Bet on thy singing lips shall make thee glad. A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich. A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong. Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou renderest. Mrs. Browning. The Marshal's Advice. While Wilbur Nesbit was finishing his humorous novel, "The Gentleman Ragman." he was spending a few weeks in a country town in Indiana, lie had sent nearly all of the revised

Wilfred Hosford and his wife did not believe ln nicknames, nor did they intend their boy to have one If they could prevent it. "I was never known as Will or Willy," said Mr. Hosford, with dignity, "and I see no reason why my son. Wilfred Sawtell Hosford, should re-! celve either of those names or the still more objectionable one of Bill." Wilfred Sawtell Hosford was delicate for the first ten years of his life and received his education at the hands cf a grave young tutor. He grew stronger as time went on and at the age of twelve entered the public school. On his return from the first session lie was solemnly questioned by his parents. "The boys are going to like me, I Suess," said Wilfred eagerly. "They've got a nickname for me already." Mrs. Hosford shuddered, and the father looked stern. "Do you mean to say you enjoy being called Willy or Bill?" he asked ln his deepest tones. "Oh. they've got a better name than those," said the boy, with a broad grin. "The smartest fellow in the class, Sandy Lane, thought it up almost right off as soon as he heard my name. They're going to call me Saw-Hoss." The Confused Bridegroom." A bashful young man and his Intended bride drove to the minister's residence and ln the presence of a few friends went safely through the ceremony. On the minister pronouncing them husband and wife the young bridegroom did not seem fully able to meet the situation. The bride stood blushing at bis side, and he did not seem to realize that something needed to be said or done, but he was evidently intensely embarrassed. He stood an Instant on one foot and then an instant a the other, but suddenly a happy thought seemed to strike him and, grasping the bride's hand, he shook it heartily, exclaiming, "Allow me to congratulate you!" Ladies Home Journal. Foresight ed Philanthropy. "Some years ago, when I was United States minister to Turkey," said President Angell of the University of Michigan, "Greece was visited by a severe famine. A great wave of sympathy and pity swept over the Untted States, affecting the women particularly. They raised hundreds of dollars for the relief of. the sufferers With true YanNEW OPERAS Y "A Stubborn Cinderella." "The Yankee Prince." "Mary's Lamb." e PAUL E. WILSON, Phone 2074.

kee nu'sband -tljej? diu ot isend the money In cash, but spent it in buying vast quantities of cloth, which they made Into dresses for the Grecian women. One entire ship, I believe, was loaded by this outpouring of charity. I never was tired of referring In diplomatic circles to the generosity of my country women and for a time was the envy of the representatives of the other governments. "Shortly after the ship arrived and Its cargo had been distributed I had occasion to niake a trip through Greece. It was in the days when our ladies wore extremely large sleeves, but the style in Greece was not the same. You may Imagine my surprise and humiliation when I saw that the Grecian women had not known what the American garments were and had put them on their husbands for trousers."

It Served Him Right. Two Irishmen, meeting one day, were discussing local news. "Do you know Jim Skelly?" asked Pat "Faith," said Mike, "an I do." "Well, he has had his appendix taken away from him." "Ye don't say so? Well, It serves him right. He should have had it in his wife's name." Everybody's. A Bishop's Story. The late Bishop Fitzgerald once presided at the graduation exercises of a class of nurses. He told the young women a story. He said that during our war, with Spain a certain hospital bad a corps of up to. And Indeed It was said that sometimes a pretty nurse in this hospital would come to a favorite soldier and find him lying with closed eyes, as if asleep, and this note pinned on the counterpane: Too ill to be nursed today. JOHN SMITH. day. we met a young ship broker. The admUal clapped him on the back, wrung his hand and cried: 'Congratulations on your marriage, my young friend. No more sewing on of buttons now, eh?' "'No, Indeed; I wear a belt now. It keeps me so busy raising the money to pay my wife's bills that I have no time to sew on buttons.' " a Good Reason. The late King Oscar of Sweden once took part In a discussion when travelfoe Incognito in the smoking room of White bearded old eentleman sittlne at an adjacent table. He turned upon him. "You don't seem convinced by my arguments, sir," he said. "Perhaps you are a Monarchist." The white bearded old gentleman admitted that he was. "Then, sir, would you mind giving your reasons for preferring a monarchical form of government?" "Certainly," replied the stranger, who was none other than Oscar II. "The first and foremost reason is that I am myself a king." Love and Finance. "Oh, Henry," exclaimed his wife as she threw her arms rapturously about his neck, "I do love you so! Don't forget to leave me $25 before you go to town this morning, will you, dear?" "And this," muttered Henry, softly disengaging himself from her fond embrace, "this is what you might call being hard pressed for money." Lipton'a First Assistant. Sir Thomas Llpton started business with one assistant, a boy of fourteen. One day the lad was overheard complaining that his clothes were so shabby he could not go to Sunday school. Llpton took a small amount from his carefully hoarded saving and bought the boy a suit of blue cloth. The next day the boy didn't come to work, and Mr. Llpton, meeting his mother ln the street, asked her the reason. "Why, Mr. Llpton," she said, curtsying, "Jimmy looks so respectable, thanks to you, sir, that I thought I would send him around the town today to see if he couldn't get a better Job." Forgot to Put In the Baby. A young mother was walking with her husband on the Atlantic City board walk. Suddenly she gave a little cry of plemsure. "Ob, there Is nurse nurse wheeling baby." She ran lightly to the luxurious coach of leather, with Its swan shaped carriage and its rubber tired wheels, and pushed back the parasol that shaded the occupant from the sun. Then she gave a great start "Why, nurse," she cried, "where's babyr "Goodness gracious, ma'am! I forrot to put him ln." Two Readings. A young farmer who had great con ceit, little discretion 'and scarcely any education presented himself once at a Presbvterian conference and said he wished to be ordained as a preacher. "I ain't bad any great learnin'," he 6ald frankly, "but I reckon I'm called to creach. I've had a vision three nights runnin'. That's why I'm here. "What was your vision ?" Inquired one of the elders. tCii. L daaxnt t &. a, wind

ng in the sky, an' in the middle 6f it was two great letters P. C. I knew that meant Presbyterian Conference, an' here I am." There was an uncomfortable pause, which was broken by an elder who knew the young man and was well acquainted with the poverty of his family and the neglected conditions of their farm. "I haven't any gift at reading visions," 6aid the old man gravely as he rose from his seat, "but I'd like to put it to my young friend whether he doesn't think If s possible those two letters may have stood for 'Plant Cornr " Just One More Kiss. A dear old citizen went to the railroad station to see bis daughter off on a Journey. Securing her a seat, he passed out of the car and went around to the car window to say a last parting word. While he was leaving the car the daughter crossed the aisle to speak to a friend, and at the 6a me time a grim old maid took the seat and moved up to the window. Unaware of the change, the old genfleman hurriedly put his head up to the window and said, "One more kiss, pet" In another instant the point of a cotton umbrella was thrust from the window, followed by the wrathful Injunction, "Scat, you gray headed wretch!" Ladies' Home Journal. A Reserved Chair. His grandmother told him almost every day that he was a naughty boy and that the devil would get him and throw him into his lake of brimstone. One morning the little fellow came down to breakfast looking pale. "I had a bad dream," he said, "and I thought I went to that place that grandma tells me every day I am surely going to. When I reached there the old devil was throwing the children in the fire, Just as grandma told me he would do, and there were rows and rows of chairs and people all sitting on them taking their turns. I spied a big one on the back row, and I got down on my knees and began to crawl under the other chairs to reach this seat in the last row when the old devil saw me and said: 'Come back here. Tbat chair is for your grandmother.' " SAIL. ON, O UNION! Thou, too, sail on. O ship of state! Sail on, O Union, strong and great! Humanity, with all Its fears. With all the hopes of future years. Is hanging breathless on thy fate. We know what Master laid thy keel. What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel. Who made each mast and sail and rope. What anvils rang, what hammers beat. In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope. Fear not each sudden sound and shock. Tis of the wave and not the rock, 'Tls but the napping of the sail And not a rent made by the gale. In spite of rock and tempest's roar, In spite of false lights on the shore. Sail on nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee! Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. Are all with thee, are all with thee! Longfellow. The Banker and the Poet. "This minor poetry seems futile to me," the banker said, sneering. "Anybody can turn it out A lunatic can write minor poetry. It's only a question of rhymes." "You sneer at rhymes," interjected the fat and bald poet "Give me a rhyme for 'lounge.' " The banker thought for three min utes, but in vain. He was stumped. "Try me again," he said. "A rhyme for 'sylph.' " Again the banker failed. "A rhyme for 'wasp.' " "Nothing ' doing," said the banker after a long pause. "'Gulf,' 'mouth,' 'hemp,' 'pint puss.' " "By Jingo," said the banker, "I can't think of a rhyme for any of those words!" The minor poet tried him with "bilge." "depth," "wolf." "with," "volt," "scarf," "sauce," "fugue," "bulb" and "bourn." "I'm stuck," confessed the banker. "Minor poetry is harder than I thought It's a wonder to me you fellows are not paid more." "We don't care anything about the pay. It's the glory we are after," the poet answered, with dignity. "But I have been tricking you. For the words that I gave you there isn't a rhyme In the English tongue." Philadelphia Bulletin. Mark Twain Pleads Innocence. Eugene Ware of Topeka recently wrote to Mark Twain: "I picked up your last volume. I read it clear through from cover to cover. It was like a bobtalled flush I could not lay it down." Mr. Clemens answered as follows: "I am an old brass bound, copper riveted, fire assayed Presbyterian, with seventy-one years experience in unworldliness, and I don't understand your metaphor. But I know it was Intended as a compliment and I make it cordially welcome." A Mark of Respect. Andrew Carnegie was entertaining a Montenegrin prince at Skibo castle. The morning after the prince's arrival a party of guests set out in a huge motor car for a long run, and as they whizzed past an inn a great crowd of highlanders rose from the benches before the inn and saluted. The prince seemed amazed at the highland dress. "Why," he asked, "do these men go bare legged?" "It Is a local custom," said Mr. Carnegie, "a mark of respect for you, sir. In some places people take off their hats to show honor to distinguished visitors; here they take off their trousers." His Country. An Irishman was returning to his own country after a long absence, and as the green hills and valleys hove in sight he became very enthusiastic. "Hurrah for Ireland!" he cried. An Englishman pass lax exclaimed

( A well known American writer automobiled through Scotland and at a hotel ln the highlands was treated with Incivility by a waiter. Accordingly he complained to the manager. The manager sought out the waiter, a raw boned, red haired highlander. "Dugald," he said, "the American visitor accuses you of inattention and insolence. What have you to say?" "It's no' to bo expecklt that a self respectin' Scot could wait on him wf civeellty. Wasna it he that said we took to the kilt because our feet were too large to get through trousers?"

Easy Money. A vender one wintry day entered a cafe and sid to a man who was reading a newspaper and drinking hot lemonade "Won't you buy a calendar, sir? The new year is close at hand." "No; I don't want a calendar." But the vender persuaded him to buy one, which he paid for and ordered it to be delivered to his wife at his home, a short distance away. Going to the house, the vender said to the wife: "Your husband, madam, sent me from the cafe with this calendar, which he wishes you to buy for his desk." The woman paid a quarter for the calendar, and the vender returned to the cafe where her husband sat While he was trying to make more sales there the husband went home, heard of the trick that had been played on his wife and him and, ringing up bis butler, snld furiously: "Go down to the cafe at once and bring up the calendar vender you'll find there." The butler found the vender busy with a customer and delivered his message. But the vender, banding out another calendar, said: "Oh, I know what your boss wants. He wants a calendar. Have you got a quarter? It will save me the trip up." Taking the calendar with one hand and extending a quarter with the other, he hurried back home. Her Denomination. "I'm sorry. Tat but I cannot be your wife," said Bridget after Pat bad proposed. "Why not?" asked Pat, with a tone of sadness in his voice. "Well, Pat, I suppose I must tell you the truth I'm a somnambulist" "A what?" "A somnambulist." "Sure, and that won't make any difference. You can go to your church, and I'll go to mine." Judge's Library. Heredity. "Your daughter plays well,' a woman said to the mother. "Yes," was the reply. "She does have a fine touch, and it's no wonder, for she loves the piano and never tires of it Ye see, she's a great taste for music; but, then, that's oly natural, for her grandfather had his skull fractured with a cornet at a picnic." Conducting by Illustration. ' Once Dr. Hans Rlchter, the famous London orchestral conductor, not satisfied with the rendering of a scene from "Tristan and Isolde," stopped the rehearsal and asked for more dignity ln the playing, adding that Isolde was the daughter of a king, not of a cook. On another occasion, while rehearsing Tschaikowsky's "Romeo and Juliet" music, Rlchter was by no means satisfied that the needful warmth of ex pression had been obtained. "Gentlemen, gentlemen," said he, "you all play like married men, not like lovers." The other day, while rehearsing a Mozart symphony in which the first violins had a number of delicate trills and turns to perform, these were played too heavily for Rlchter, and he exclaimed: "Please, gentlemen, pianissimo! Queen Mab not suffragettes." Grant the Philosopher. Mrs. Grant once asked the general to discharge their old coachman, who had made a botch of some simple errand. "Well, mother," replied the hero of Appomattox, "if John could do everything you wanted him to do and do it right he would not have to be our coachman." What It Tasted Like. The men were at dinner one day, and the orderlies were hurring backward and forward with steam in e nails of soup when Lord Wolseley, passing by, stopped one of them and determined to see that the food provided was up to the standard be required. "Remove the lid from that pall," he said to the man. The man removed the lid. "Now let me taste that," be said. "But plaze yer" "Let me taste it I say." Before the man could say or do anything Lord Wolseley got a spoon, dipped it Into the pall and tasted it. "Disgraceful!" he exclaimed. "Call that soup? Why. it tastes like nothing in the world so much as dishwater." "Plaze yer honor, that's exactly what It Is." Unusual. "She is always talking about her mince pies. Did you ever see anything unusual in them?" "Yes. I saw a shoe button in one once." The Sensational Collector. The doctor was in church. He occupied a front pew. The church was crowded, the preacher preaching eloquently, and a perfect silence reigned. But suddenly a man dashed in at the door. He held up his hand for the preacher to pause; then he cried: "Is Dr. Henry Smith here?" With all eyes centered upon him. Dr. rieury Smith rose slowly in his front seat and turned round. "What Is wanted?" he said. He had the grave, weary air of a man who Is almost overburdened with the respon Elbilities heaped upon him. "Are you Dr. Henry Smith?" "I am." "Well, doctor, I am Cache & Co.'s new collector. When will It be conyenient for yon to settle that little ac-
