The Great
Temptation
"No," said the woman who was telling
the story. "1 did not have the
time to do as I did ? I took
the time. There was plenty of
good reasons why I should have
taken it.
"At least 17 insistent duties glared
at me from various corners of the
iouse. They glared at me accusingly,
as one who would willingly neglect
them. They glared at me indignantly,
as one who lightly assumed duties with
no idea of discharging them. They
glared at me pityingly, as one who had
been slackly brought up and . didn't
know any better. 13iit I turned .my
back on them all, dressed the children
and went.
"This is why I went. I had taken
a perfectly green girl from the intelligence
office end trained her steadily
for two months. I had trained her so
that she understood what I was saying
and could do the housework more
than fairly well. Any one who has
trained a green girl for two months
at a stretch knows that a rest cure-is
<lue the trainer, but I'll never be able
to introduce rest cures into my curriculum,
so I didn't.feei abused.
"^.nd then one Thursday evening a
tall, gaunt woman with a fairly good
knowledge of English appeared and
Stasia and she went up to Stasia's
room. When they reappeared Auntie
i , Wandaluski?for that was the gaunt
one's name?held Stasia's papier
mache suit case in her hand. Stasia,
clutching her month's pay, acquired
but two hours previously, brought up
the rear.
Stasia was about to leave, at
once!
"No, the work was rot too hard. No;
she didn't want more money. She wus
about to be married, and, as the girl
next door expressed it, I didn't even
know she 'v.as keepin' company.'
"She went In the middle of the
spring cleaning. She went when a sister-in-law
whom I had never met was
on her way from the Pacific coast to
risit me. The thr6e intelligence onices
^ which constituted the first aid to the
^^k^^miburbs could send u,c.pQ one for ?
r TvflfriTMTTi aged
^^^^hnd woice up sick.
"It was as I drank the tea that the
ST great temptation 1 nrcd its head.
BE? 'Isn't it a lovely day?' sail the great
temptation, enticingly. 'You ought
to be out of doors on such a day. Oh,
well. I know the work is.i't done and
you have no girl, but the work will
keep and tno worn: :? e;i o; km is.
/ "At this point the 'trios that J !:.-' e
mentioned before .?r'-. ! from tlieir
respective corners ar.d tried the effect
of vicherins ? e . eat temptation,

Mercy an Arab Showed.
Abd-El-Kader, who died in 1883, is ;
one of the noted patriots of Algiers, j
In 1833 when the Arabs rose up and
| tried to free themselves from the j
French Abd-El-Kader as sultan led his
i people against the French armies.
For fourteen years the war was !
j, waged, and though he had but few
followers, his methods of attack and j
ingenious maneuvers, together with I
' the wonderful power he held over his j
J people, made it necessary for the
French to send one hundred thousand
soldiers into that country before they 1
could conquer it. Before Abd-El-Ka- j
der's time the Arabs killed their prisoners.
He treated them kindly, as
guests, sending them money, clothes
and food.' Some women were one? !
captured and brought to him, and as I
he set them free he exclaime*d:
"Lions attack strong animals; jackals
.fall upon the weak."
Useful Article Missing.
Dr. William Tindall says that the
published accounts of the reputed antagonism
of a member of congress to |
the use of the toothbrush reminds him j
of an incident which occurred a number
of years ago on a steamboat which
$an from Galveston to Houston.
One morning, while the passengers
' were at breakfast, one of the travelers,
who was somewhat belated in
perfecting his toilet, and who, obvi
ousiy, was one UI muse wiiu me oumtwhat
unfamiliar with the etiquette of
the toothbrush, appeared at the door j
of his stateroom, which opened into ,
the hall that served as a dining room,
; and called out with a drawl such as
might have been expected from a
primitive denizen of the back country:
"Say, cap'n, wjiar'l I find the tooth- !
brush that belongs to the boat?"

i HAVE THREE KINDS OF MONEY'
Venezuelan Monetary Standards Must
Be Extremely Puzzlinz to Newcomer
and Visitor.
There are at present in daily use in
Venezuela three different systems of
monetary standards. One is that based j
on the bolivar (equal to 10.3 cor.ts) as |
the unit. This is in use by the government
in its reports and transactions
and is the official system, if it
-- - - .
may be so called. (Quotations in tms
system are in bolivars* and centinios, a
bolivar being divided into 100 centimos,
although the smaller coin in
this system has a value of 5 cen-1
timos.
The second system has the "peso 1
fuerte" or "dollar" as its unit, the I
units being commonly referred to sim
ply as "fuertes." This "fuerte" is!
taken to be equal to 5 bolivars and to
be divided into 100 centavos.
The third systejn has the "peso
macuquina," usually simply termed
"pesos," as its unit. This "peso" has
a value of 4 bolivars and is considered
to be equal to 80 centavos, and to
be divided into 8 reals, while the
"fuerte" is considered to .have 10
reals.
Some few of the mercantile> houses I
keep their accohnts with their customers
in "fuertes," but most of the establishments
render their bills in the
"peso."
When accounts kept in the last two
units are paid, they are transformed
into bolivars by manipulating by five
or four, as the case may be, payments
being made by Venezuelan currency,
coined gold and silver on the bolivar
* *- 1 1- * I J ~
uasis, or uuiik nuit;s isant'u uu mc
same system, although some foreign
gold is in general acceptance at conventional
rates.
Among the humbler classes making
their purchases at the market, an article
which would be worth 75 centimos
of a bolivar, or 15 centavos of a
"fuerte," will almost invariably be
quoted at "a real and a half," or a
purchase will be actually paid for by
offering 6 bolivars, 62V2 centiraos in
coin, while the seller has stated the
value to be "1VA reals."
