He looked at tbelr snot y blossoms, And marked with obatrvant eye, That bla flowers were sfcdly drooping, For their leaves were .parched and dry. "My Utiles need to he watered," The Heaven iy Master said: "Wherein shall I draw it for them And raise eaob drooplpg head?" Close at bis feet, on tbe pathway, Empty, and (rail, andamaU, An earthen'vessel waa lying, Which seemed of no nse at all. Bat tbe master saw ana raised It, tfrnm tn? dust In wbl&b 11 lay, And smiled as be gently whispered, "Thi^sball do my work today. It Is bnt an eartben vessel. But It lay so close tome; v It Is small, bnt It Is empty, > Which is all lt^ieeds to be." So to tbe fountain be took it, And filled H to tbe brto. How glad was tbe eartheD vessel To be some use to hlnit He ponred forth tbe living water Over bis JHlies (air, ? Until bis vessel was empty, And again/be filled 11 there. He watered tbe drooping lillies Until they revived again, And tbe master saw win pleasure, That bis labor bad not been vain. His own band bad drawn tbe water / Whiob refreshed the thirsty flowers, Bnt be used tbe eartben. vessel, To oonvey tbe living (bowers. And to itself it whispered, As be laid it aside one? more, "Still will/I lie in his pathway, JuBt where I did before. . Close wonld I keep to the Master, Empty wonld I remain, And perhaps some day he.may use me To water bis flowers aaaln." / , i' -?"] .Letter to Judge Hill. Abbevillf, 8. C.

HOTEL KEYS. fhty Are Carried Off by Gaevta VW Forget to Olw* Them Cy, "Oar key fitter Is one of the most Important men on our staff," said the manager of a large New Orleans total. "He if kept busy every day of the year, and sometimes he Is so rushed with pNrk that he has to call la an assistant. It Is no exaggeration to say that he averages , from 25 to 80 keys a day.H "Bat I would suppose^" remarked listener, "that eren a Dig hotel would acntiinA * a# Irava It* iKa nnnf 4UUC m PU iHV Br?vy V* Ml WkfV WIMW of time." i "So it does," replied the manager, "if the public would only let it Weep 'emj but it won't It would astonish anybody sot in the business to know how many guests walk off with their room keys when they leave the house. When the average man gets ready to depart, he packs his valise, locks his door sad then goes direct to the cashier's wicket to settle his bill. When that formality is sttended to, he is generally in a rush to get to the depot and Is quite apt to forget that he has omitted to return his key at the clerk's desk. That, at any rate, is the way I account for so much abeentmlndedness on the subject The clerk doesn't discover that ./the key is gone until the chambermaid applies for jt to cleai/up the room, which la probably an hour or two after the I guest has taken his departure. Then b nothing remains but to call in the key 1 fitter and tell him to prepare a duplicate . as auloklv as he can. "Formerly the hotels tried to guard i against this innocent kleptomania," the I mnnayr went on, "by having their keys I made very large ana cumbersome ana attaching them to enormous metal tag*, ' the idea being to render it impossible to pnt them in one's pocket. To that end they were probably a success, but they were such an unmitigated nuisance otherwise, and guests complained so bitterly , at the annoyance of handling them, that they were generally discarded. You will * still find the plan popular in the country, ' however, and in small houses that hare no locksmiths on the premises, and oaly a week, or so ago I dropped into a quaint little establishment where the keys were attached to brass disks fully as large as dessert plates and serrated at the edge like circular sswb. ' I "At present most of the big hotels use i a modest metal check, stamped with their \ address and a request to forward through the mails if accidentally carried off. All I that IsA necessary is to attach a & cent 3 stamp to the tag and drop the key in the J nearest letter box. Incidentally I may . say that about one man in 80 takes the trouble. But, aside from the room keys carried away by guests, a vast number of all kinds disappear through the mysteii ous efeannels to oblivion that exist in all e large hotels. They vanish, and fhafs : the end of it?keys to furniture, wardrobe 3 keys, closet keys, bathrctom keys, keys to - the help's lockers, padlock keys from the outside storerooms, big coal banker keys, , gate keys and keya of every Imaginable rise, shape and style. They are continually missing and bare to be replaced If a lost key tarns ap later, the daplicatt is carefully ticketed and laid away la $ drawer set aside for that purpose. Bat they seldom tarn up.

An old man whosjt hair and beard were I cut in a chaste, ntfa! design appeared in 1 one of the table d'hote restaurants the other day. He bad his wife with. him. i That was more than the old lady could say of her hearing., She was almost stone deaf, which gave everybody a chance to find out what splendid lungs her husband had. The meal was luncheon. The price which the old man was asked after he had ordered two meals was 75 cents. "Seventy-five cents 1" he exclaimed. "You don't mean apiece?" "Yes, sir." "Gracious!" He thought it over a minute or two. Then he looked at his wife as if consider>'ng whether he should try to get the dreaded news past the old lady's tym-l panum. Evidently he gave it up. But he did what he could. When the first course came on, he leaned over and shouted in her car: "Eat all you can, mother! I'll tell you why after, awhile!"?New York Sun. Got His Tips Direct.
