My wife laughs at me during the breakfast quarter-of-an-hour when, in my hurry to catch the next train, I hit my boiled egg too gently with my knife and the shell has to be picked away in pieces. What we need in this hurry-up land is a lot of hens that will lay eggs with shells of equal .tbickness. Then a man can get onto the stroke and stop this facetious levity. The fellows who have to live in the city flat, always pretend to like it Immensely, joking the suburbanite on chasing trains and wading through the ilmud to the post ofilee. Let 'em joke. Poor devils, they don't know the eostasy of being awakened every morning by a meadowlark.

Women still clean house in the same old way they did in old Pharaoh's time. - They still leave tacks on the floor and buckets of water where baby is sure to tall into them and sweep the stairs down. No one seems to have yet thought of 1eeving the water on the floor, putting the tacks in the pail and sweeping the staird tip, throwing the residuum out of the garret window. No one over sends the windows down to the laundry or puts eau do tcologne -on the .mop. But some dlay there will arise a reformer in skirts and these things will be attended to. Pertopolls Pest, What's the Girl's Name? Last week while Arthur Johnson was cutting hay one of his horses lumped over the mower tongue and tell down. Before he could get the horse up the tugs and several straps on the new harness had to be cut, out Arthur is pleased that It was the work harness, for he needs the buggy harness!--Oklahoma Exchange.

A little hope cane crying to my heart And I in tender pity let it in Aind thought to-morrow it will then do part; I would postpono the work I should begin tUtil my guest was gone. Why should I start The work that life had planned, so sure to win ? Yet when to-morrow came hope lingered 1h still, T And though I hinted I had work to do It hung around and bothered me until . A month had passed. The little hope it grow To be a part of my existence till I asked it to remain a year or two. My work was put aside, some other day I would begin it, other days would dawn. To-day a game of chance with hope I'll y play, To-morrow - well, to-morrow's never al born. 'Twas plain that little hope had come to stay And then I turned my head and-hope was gone! -Charles E.Nettleton, in N. Y. Herald. Roderick Dhu. ]Roderick Dhu was a mongrel dog. Yellow and rough was he; Ah! but his heart was the very best Ever a heart could be! One of his ears had a rakish tilt, One hung dejectedly down, Shading the deeps of his kindly eyes, Honest and bright and brown. Itoderick Dhu had a tuil unique; Straight for an inch it grow. - Then to the side in a Jaunty curve Euclid himself ne'er knew. Every urchin for miles around Itoderick loved him dear; Itaggedest jacket ne'er clasped the "kid" Roderick held in fear. I Roderick Dhu closed his loving eyes Many years ago; Over his grave drift the orchard blooms, Mingling their rose and snow. Friend of my youth, though in man hood's years Wealth and renown are mine. Never hath heart, since my mother died, Loved me with love like thine. A Song of Riches. I've a dollar in my pociket An' will wealth o' health I'm blest, An' me piture's in a locet.t On it pretty colleeni's breast. At' I'll be as rich the-nmorrow If the )Lord contlinues kind.

Ye have spoke the word that's bound ye, Kate machree, to be me wife; Here's two arms to put around ye An' to work for ye for life, An' to make a home that's pleasant, Ay! an' fit to have yo in. Faix, there's no time like the present. Katie, dairlin', to begIn. Then, through fait- an' stormy weather, If we're dacint here below, S ,hure,. we still may be together In a thousand years or so. --T. A.-Daly, In Catholic S9tanmdar. * The Garden Deautiful.
