The Watered Mlltea.
A beautiful lesBOn ia taught In tb
following poem, wfcflch in the sermoi
nn Rundav momim? Dr. Watson B
Duncan, of tbe Methodist church, ha<
occasion to use, an{bn account of it
truth and sweetness we take pleasur
in reproducing it: *
The Master stood Id bli garden
AmoDg the lllllee ?o r^ir,
Which bis own right hi nd had planted
And trained with the- .eaderest care.
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." /

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

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. Tbey have gone to
the limbo of lost pins, \last season's birds'
nests and the snows of yesteryear."?

v Bat ill You Cu, Mother!
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.

waiter was practically running i syndicate
on the strength of remarks relating
^ to the mining transactions the milllonslre

Wright discovered It that syndicate be1
