WhippletoD pat It, and in wbicb tbe children may be likened to a varied assortment of oric-a-brac wbicb serve to decorate (or demolish) tbe boose. Be it as it may. tbe Wbippletons possessed tbree of these objects d'art, as also & neat little home on 8taten Island within easy reach of the ferry, which the head of the family utilised in order to get to his office in New York. There in the great city he earned his daily bread, or rather helped other people to obtain what they bad earned by tbe aid of the law. for be was an attorney; and he bad prospered to such an extent that his \ wife was no longer obliged to dispute dressmakers' bills and his bric-a-brac shone and broadened under tbe nutritious influence of pork and beans and other delicacies of like nature. At this point, in order to Inculcate in their progeny a taste for music, and as their modest household had not yet assumed the dignity of having a piano located in one corner of tbe parlor, the Whippletons resolved to purchase one of those necessary instruments; for, though neither could play even a ragtime symphony without tbe aid of a pianola, they thought that the children could not fall to all become Paderewskis just by looking at tbe piano, and Imagining what sweet strains it could produce were it ever opened and played upon. For the acquisition of tbe instrument it wan agreed by tbe husband and wife that tbe latter should seek the assistance of a young lady friend, who was a good musician, having arrived at the stage where she could pronounce Wagner with a true German A aamIiI afvl/vA*# a nlnnA IUVUI, 1UU w UVI WVUIU oci^vi ffiauv with a good tone and tbe other necessary qualifications. Urs. Wblppleton THOUGHT IT WAS FITS. rlsited her friend and made an appointment to meet ber at a down town music store the following Wednesday, and the little family was in the great est excitement over the contemplated purchase. When the all-important day arrived Mrs. Whippletoa arrayed herself in her best, gave a cursory glance at her purse, wherein she thought she remarked a $5 hill and some small change, took her little boy Harold by the band and sallied forth to meet her friend. The latter was on band with unwomanly promptness, and the two set to work in company with one of the salesmen to choose the piano. Instrument after instrument was tried by Miss Schubert, as her musical friend was named, and when at last they found one that suited tbem It was lunch time. The thought then occurred to Mrs. Whippleton that since ber companion bad been so obliging about aiding her to select her upright, it would only b< just to invite her to lunch. This she did. and Mis* Schubert gradcusly accepted the offer. As they were preparing to leave the tore Mrs. Whippletoo, by way of precaution, again looked into ber pnrs? to see if she bad sufficient money to pa; for the prospective repast. When abe unfolded tbe bank note, which shi bad taken for a five before leaving the bouse tbat morning, she gave <i gasp of dismay?it was only a one! A further search brought to light the Imposing sum of thirty-five cents, and Mrs. Wbippleton, disconcerted, won dered bow hearty an eater Miss Scbu cert would prove herself to be. Ai Mh'Sfa iiiir" ^ ^ . i20ki< for herself, she felt hungry enouch to eat a full dollar's worth alone, 1 she resolved to curb this untimely ; ..site and content herself with as little as possible. "My dear Miss Schuln-rt where shall we lunch'?" she asked carelessly. Inwardly hopiug that her friend might say it did not waiter, so she could conduct her to some modest cafetier. "Why. 1 don't know. I'm sure." replied the other; "supposing we go to PureeU's." Purcell's! One of the most expensive places In the elty, where you pay fifty - * -I V.. cents ror a gia*s tu water auu im- }? ?liege of sitting down! Aire. TVhippleton felt a cold chill creep over her body, and her own appetite vanished as If by enchantment "Yes, PurcelTs is a good place." she affirmed faintly. 8he was commencing to be somewhat suspicious of Miss Schubert, and she recalled to mind several stories which represented musicians as a half-starved class who could devour untold quautlties of food as often as they happened to have the opportunity. But hoping for the best, she plucked up new courage?perhaps Miss Schubert was an exception! ?> i<ut at n miit lUKJf vrvrc M>VH evuivu at ? -?? table, Mrs. Wbippleton at the bead, with ber friend and Harold on either side. On the way to the restauraut tbi latter bad pressed his stouiacb convulsively several times and informed his mother how hungry be was. Harcld was not one of those spiritual boys who live on the simple diet cf thought; on the contrary, a full plate of substantial food usually disappeared with amazing rapidity under the well directed attacks of bis knife and fork, and be often wanted more. This appetite. upon which his mother had previouslv looked with pleasure, was now liable to prove fatal, so she despairingly thought, but she did not dare to say anything to him for fear of attracting her friend's attention. "I think I will take some lobster a la Newburg," suddenly remarked Miss Schubert, after consulting the bill of fare "Mamma, what is that? I want some, too, said Harold, impatient to begin. Mrs. Wbippleton's heart sack within her, and she made a rapid mental calculation. The menu said: Lobster a la Newburg, 75 cents. Three times 75 equals $2.25?no, that was impossible. "No. Harold, that is bad for your stomach." she said, turning to her son. "I myself am not very hungry, so I will just take a chop and there will be enough for you, too, Harold." "But, mamma, 1 can eat two chop* alone; I always do at home " TUe boy's voice broke off suddenly as be felt bis mother's foot descend with force upon bis own under the table. "Won't you have anything else?" Inquired Mr*. Wbippleton, addressing her friend and not heeding Harold's walls. "Why, yes; I think I would like some French peas." returned the other. Another mental calculation: Lobster, 75 cents; chop. 50; peas, 25; total, $1.50 ?the Rubicon was passed. Mrs. Wbipyleton was desperate and she resolved to d'e eating bravely and trust to Providence to pay the bill. "I guess I will take soipe French peas also; and you had better have some, too, Harold?tnree orJers of peas," she said, turning to the waiter, "and you might make It tiro portions of chops instead of one." Throughout the meal Mrs. Whippleton was apparently the gayest of the gay, but while her lips smiled and her eyes beamed benevolently on her friend her heart was heavy, and she wondered bow it was all to end. If she could only, by some mental process, transfer a few of her husband's greenhacks into her own little purse, bow she would rejoice. But. alas! that was impossible, and the account was steadily mounting upward. Every few moments Miss Schubert would order something else; she appeared to have been fasting for weeks just for this occasion, and every time she sent for a supplement, Harold would conclude that be would like some cf the same. His mother let bim go on in bis mad course, for she felt that the crash might as well be a big one as a small one. Finally, after finishing with peach ice cream and charlotte russe, the time for settlement arrived, and Mrs. Whip pleton prepared herself for the shock. But just as sbe was ou the verge of desperation, a w-.ll kuown voice sounded in ber ears, and a man's band was laid upon ber shoulder. With a cry sbe looked up and saw ber busband. Heaven had pitied her and hud sent a messenger to release ber from her predicament. As she arose and greeted him sbe whispered softly In bis ear: "Dear, dear Ueorge; you have come in the nick of time. Here, pay this bill, for I only have a dollar and thirty-flve cents." Her husband looked at the account, which bad reached the Olympian heights of $4.75, and with a side glance at Miss Schubert, who was standing a Tew reet away, engaged m puiung on ber gloves, be asked in a low voice: "But wbnt would you have done II I bad not come';" Mrs. Wblppleton reflected for an instant before replying, and then said, calmly: "I guess I would bave borrowed it of Miss Scbuitert. But after inviting ber to luncb it would not bave been very nice to a*k ber to pay tbe bill, would It'?" i "Hardly," responded ber husband, as be slowly walked up to tbe cashier's desk.?W Evans Barnes, In tbe Chi tagj Record-Herald.

I Don British Fanning Tmj f I An apparently flourishing farmei I was asked the other day by an Inquirer Into the state of British agriculture, what his usual profits were. He made the unexpected reply that he had not made n penny for five years. What he meant was that lie had put nothing by. lie had kept his horses and his carriages, gone about when and where be would, and lived, as they say, well. All these personal and household expenses were not reckoned, but be was solemnly of the opinion that his five years' farming had shown no profit This method of economic reckoning Is still occasionally found among farmers. Borne of them keep no account of personal or even household expenditure, and there are others who spend too much on luxuries. It Is by avoiding this mistake that several laborers who hare risen to be fanners have succeeded where the farmer born has failed. It is commonly acknowledged in the Midland counties, where farming Is not more posperoas than Id other places, that the "working farmers" earn a good living. Those who fail are either poor farmers or under* take farms of a greater extent than they can personally supervise. This experience bears out Mr. Elder Haggard's contention that the encouragement of fifty or sixty acre holdings would In nearly all places confer a benefit on the community. It Is absurd that ground rented at $5 an acre should oot pay its way adequately.?London Globe. It TTu Monkey.
