"I think it iw perfectly dreadful," be gan the girl with the pale blonde hair, "the heartless way aome girla have in regard to men! They don't seem to cam about anything except the money a pian haa! " "I know it," agreed the young wom an with the curliug lashes. ."All they want la a good time. Take Frederick Rlngle, for instance." "I whh just thinking about him," said tho blonde gjrl "Hi U the best looking fellow we know and yet he al ways gets the short eud of it because ho can't spend money like the other*, and he lias such a hue character." "Hut character won't tuko a girl to the theater," said the girl with curl ing I ashes. Qf course 1 am at present speakiuK from most girls' point of view. Ab for me, 1 appreciate a man's true worth. I'm Just as glad to see Frederick as any one! I ? ?" "Why, Daisy!" cried the blonde girl. "I was there myself when you broke a date over the telephone with Fred erick because some one else had asked you to the opera!" "Well, that's different !' declared the young woman with curling lasheB. "Frederick wau merely going to call on me, but the opera 1b an education, and one should seize the chance to enjoy It whenever possible!" "I always make a point, of asking Frederick to my Sunday night teas," declared the blonde girl, "i think It really is more of a compliment to Invito any ono Informally like that than.jto a dinner. I've always won dored if Frederick's dreea suit was really his or Just rented. Of course, that's nothing against him, only ? " "A man of real fine feelings would hate to wear a rented suit, I should think," interrupted the other. "It's odd that Frederick doesn't get on faster In business. Sometimes 1 "He Is a Very Fine Man." think ho must have a weak spot in his nature. Maybe ho is cut out for ono of these unsuccessful men!" "Perhaps," agreed the blonde girl. "Ho really is too handsome to amount to much. I've always felt that about Frederick. Yet he has such a way of looking serious as though he were planning great things!" "I think it would be an awful mis take for a girl to get interested in him," said the young w.oman with curling lashes. "He never could af ford to run a house properly, and think how his wife would have to dress! Yet, of course, he is a very fine man!" "Ho has such high aspirations," sighed tha blondo girl. "Of course, I understand that he can't afford tc bring one Ave pound boxes of candy. Still, it would be nice if he could ? " "That was why you ditched him in favor of Tom Walsh," suggested the girl with the curling lashes. "Tom seems to have credit with a candy fac tory. However ? " "Why, the very id?a!" cried the blondo girl indignantly. "I have every respect for Frederick! But I certainly am not going to miss a chance like Tom Walsh out of foolish sentiment! Do you realize what dividends his fa ther gets from his mine? Anyhow, I think it unkind of you when you know it's hopeless, and Frederick had been dropping in pretty often. ' fI had to give him a hint." "Ho camo just as often to see me!" declared, tho girl with curling. lashes. I'm sure I've always tried to bo nice to him, but I think he might havo had better sense than to persist in stick ing around whon Mr. Nippert was calling! lie seemed to think he had just as much right to be in there as a man who could buy and sell him GO times over! Sometimes I think Fred erick is pubhing!" "There certainly is Bomething crude about him,' agreed her friend. "Maybe it is the result of the narrow, retired life ho is forced to,Jead. I presume he means well. He ? " "GirlB!" cried a third as she dashed in. "Havo you heard? Frederick Ringle has been appointed secretary of his company at a perfectly shame ful salary, it's so big ? and is going to take charge of tho Paris branch!" Tho blondo girl recovered first. "Dear Frederick!" she murmured. "I always thought ho was made for great things! I believe I'll telephone him to ccmo to dinner tonight ? he'll want to see mo before ho goes away!" "How fortunate," cried the girl with curling lashes, "that/ I hadn't asked anybody to the club dance! I'll ask Fred! I always knew something like this would happen! It just serves the girls right who have treated, him so badly because he hadn't plenty of money! I hope he will realize that I have always been his friend ! Chi Mfo Daily News . i Police Duty Left to Bur?h?r*. In the eighteenth century the whole safety and order of Glasgow, Scot land. were intrusted to the unpaid and reluctant burghers. Kvery cltl sen who wan between the years of eighteen and sixty, and |>aid a yearly rent amounting to $16, had to take his turn at guarding the city. "On touch of drum." says a writer, "th<* g?ntlr roan was at his pout at ten at night, and strolled with weary tread and yawning gait along the Trortgate and Hltfh strc et, and up the pitch dark lanes, of winter nights till four in the morning After that hour the city was wtthout a police.*'! ; v ? All Work for Man's Advancement.. The long quest for the source of the Nile, for the northwest passage, for tho north and south poles; yes, and the ancient eearch for the "elixir yf life," "perpetual motion" and the "secret of life," have for us this grand significance tl>ey all point to tho fact that In the mind of man there Is a deathless ambition to know and to do to fathom the depths of the unknown, to conquer tho uncon quered, to add more and atill more to tho sum of Its knowledge and achievement. Wisdom of Quiet. More than half a century of exist ence has taught me that most of tho wrong and folly which darken earth 1h due to those who cannot possess their souls In quiet; that most of tho good which saves mankind from destruction comes of life that is led in. thoughtful stillness: Kvery day the world grows noisier; I, for one, will have no part in that increasing clamor and, were i( only b$r my silence, I confer a boon on all,? From the Private Papers of Henry Hyccroft, by George Glsslng. Amazing Notice. s A traveling revivalist placed the fol lowing rather astounding notice on the bulletin board at a country school house on his arrival; "There will bo preaching here tho following Wednes day eve, Providence permitting, on the subject: 'He that believeth shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned' at 3:30 in the after noon." ^ V Action Better Than Indecision. Sometimes we must simply do the thing we have to do and think about it afterward, Or it may be better not to think about it afterward. Action iB the great solver of doubts, the great key to liie's problems. Too much thinking and debating pnd discussing only confuse the issues. For Burned Hands. For the burns, more or less severe, that happen so frequently in the kitchen, it is well to keep on hand there a bottle filled with equal parts of linseed oil and lime^Hter. Shake the bottle well before application, and keep tho burned parts from the air by covering with lint or soft linen. Surely in Hard Straits, Phyllis accidentally discovered a doll that her mother had concealed in a trunk in readiness for the "little lady'd birthday. The following day?at dinner she surprised the family by remarking: "I'm' trying, so hard to forget something I want to remember that I don't feel very hungry." Y ' Need for Books for the Blind. ' It is estimated that there are about one million blind people under the pro tection of the British flag who are only able to read with their fingers. The Braille books are an inestimable boon, but so expensive as only to be enjoyed, without some practical assistance, by the well-to-do. His Knowledge. "I forgot to sign my examination paper with statement that I neither gave nor received help," said the Yalo student to, the professor in mathe matics. "Not necessary," answered . tho professor. "I have just been look ing over your paper." Character and Capacity. The impression produced by char acter is after all more permanent than that produced by capacity. It passes into other lives and Js fruitful as an influence long after the results of capacity have perished in the using. ? Selected. Useful Proverb. "Do you," he asked, "believe in early marriage?" "Well," she replied, "I used to, but I am willing to say that at present I believe 'better late than never' may be applied to marriage as well as to some other things." Worldly Wisdom. "In choosing a wife one should never judge by appearances." "That's right. Often the prettiest girls have tho least money." Remarkable, Indeed. "Strange things, dreams are," said J. Puller Oloom.
