His Wifj Gave Him What/
/ "or lor.g ::g<> Satan was hurrying
over his rounds in ihe regions below,
and his eye caught a new arrival. It
was a iuau with :i proud and haughty
air that would have put to shame any
king oil earth, lie strolled about, with
bis nose high and his chin out and a
sort of supercilious style. Satan stopped
and watched him. and tinally curiosity
won. and he tapped the follow
on the shoulder.
"See here, who are you. any way V
Any one would think froui your style
you owned the place."
"1 do." said the shade. "My wife

At Sat of Sun.
If we sit down at set of sun
And count the things that we have done
And. counting, find
One self denying uct. one word
Tha. eased the heart of one who heard
One glance most Kind
That fell like sunshine where it went.
Then we may count the day well spent.
Knew the Beds.
In the gray light of early morning u
trave'er In Scotland faced the Digbt
clerk resolutely. "You gave toe the
worst bed In the Inn!" he began. Indignation
in bis voice and eyes. "If
you don't change me before tonight i
hall look up other lodgings."
"There Is uo difference in the beds,
sir," the clerk replied respectfully.
The traveler smiled iroulcally.
"It that is so," he said, "perhaps you
wouldn't mind giving me the room on
the left of mine."
"It is occupied, sir."
"I know it is?by a man who snored
all night and was still at it ten tnin
utes ago. His bed must be better than
mine or he couldn't sleep at a maximum
capacity of sound eight hours on
a stretch." k
"The beds are all alike, sir. Thai
man has been here before, and he always
sleeps on the floor, sir."
Abbreviating a Name.
One member of congress employs in
writing a perplexing system of abbreviation.
which might be termed aNcom
bination of short and long bund.
Some of bis colleagues were one day
speaking of his craze for brevity, when
one said: "Blank has certaluly brought
his system to a tine point, but there
was a chap in my state. Kentucky,
who distanced all competitors in this
respect. His name was Will Knott,
and so keen was his mania for abbre
rUttion that in writing to friends he
Invariably subscribed himself 'Won't'"
Waked Him Up.
John Kendrick Bangs, t'ic author,
once attended a political meeting at
whit a he was the third speaker, follow!..g
two local spellbinders to whom
the crowd listened patiently in anticipation
of the "big gun" of the occasion.
.
The evening was warm, and while
ibo ?econd speaker was holding forth
, a fat man. occupying a seat directly in
front of the stage, yielded to the som
niferous influences and snored loudly !
"That's one on you." chuckled Mr.
Bangs to his fellow orator as the latV"v~
tci- ciosed his peroration and retired !
to his seat at the rear of the stage
"Now watch me wake him up!" '
Sure enough, scarcely was Mr. Bangs
well utidcM* way before the fat man !
opened his eyes, stared wildly for an
instant and bolted for the door!?Lip- j

A Commonplace Life.
"A commonplace life." *ie say. and we
sigh.
But why should we sigh as we say?
The commonplace sun in the commonplace
sky
Makes up the commonplace day.
The*moon and the stars ure commonplace
things.
The flower that blooms and the bird that
sings.
But sad were the world and dark our lot
If the flowers failed and the sun shone
not.
And God. who sees each separate soul.
Out of commonplace lives makes his
beautiful whole.

THE TOWN THAT
PUSH BUILT
IX.?The Foxy Shoe Dealer
THIS is the shoe man who found
In his hand the bill that went round j
'Mong all the people who advertised. |
He hired a man whose work he prized
And paid him with the jeweler's bill
From the hardware merchant's till,
Where it went when the clothing dealer
bought
From the furniture man, which the
clothier got
When to him the dry goods merchant
went
With the bill the butcher wisely spent
When his friend the grocer had settle- i
ment made
With cash the honest workman paid.
' MORAL.
The little story we've told is meant
To show yon clearly that money spent
At home will help us all and then
Return to the owner to spend again ?
That is. if dealers are also wise
And do not fail to advertise.
