When the ole world seems so gloomy en the skies ain't lookin bright, When it seems rz dark in daytime en ez tones aorne ez at night, It seems ez if a ray o' light's a kinder strug glin through When you think o' some ole fr iend you know'll shake the hand o' you. When you think about the dark spots o' the times that uster be, En gazin at the future all is lonesome that you see, There’s one time when your mind gits on to happy thoughts awhile, En that’s when metn’ry shows you that ole sweetheart's happy smile. So I jist don't keer how lonely past er future looks to yon, You'll alius find somehow the skies'll turn from gray to blue. You'll alius find them lightin up, don't keer how dark the day, En when they light you'll alius find it's love that shows the way. —Edward Singer in Cleveland Plain Dealer. HE KEPT THE SEAT. But It Was Worth What the Other Man Paid For It. A man who had not been to church for a very long time, says a London ex change, finally harkened to the persua sions of his wife and decided to go. He got the family all together; and they started early. Arriving at the church, there were very few people in it and m pew openers at hand, so the man led his family well up the aisle and took possession of a nice pew. Just as the service was about to be gin a pompous looking old man came in, walked up to the door of the pew and stood there, exhibiting evident sur prise that it was occupied. The occu pants moved over and offered him room to sit down, but he declined to be seat ed. Finally the old man produced a card and wrote upon it with a pencil' “I pay for this pew.” ‘‘He gave the card to the strange oc cupant, who, had he been like most people, would have at once got up and left. But the intruder adjusted his glasses and with a smile read the card. Then he calmly wrote beneath it: ‘‘How much do you pay a year?” To this inquiry the pompous old gen tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly: ‘‘Ten pounds. ” The stranger smiled as though ha were pleased, looked aronnd to compare the pew with others, admired its nice cushions and furnishings and wrote back: “I don’t blame you. It is well worth it. ” The pompous old gentleman at that stage collapsed into his seat. No DendheadN There. I heard a good story that comes from a little town in the northern part of the state: Among the members of the Methodist church at that place is an old railroad conductor who has been retired from the business for ten years or more. During the morning service at his church not many Sundays ago the old railroader was called upon by the minister to assist in taking up the collection —one of the stewards who usually helped in that work being ab sent. The retired railroader started down the aisle with the contribution basket and passed it around like an old hand at the business. Everything passed off smoothly until he came to a good old brother who had nodded himself fast asleep, and just as he was about to pass by him be was suddenly overcome by the force of habit acquired in his rail road days. Giving the sleeping brother a dig on the shoulder with the basket, he blurted out ‘‘Ticket, please!”—Ohio State Jour nal. Two Dear Seati. Sarah Bernhardt while in London dropped into a bookseller’s shop one morning. ‘‘l sold her quite a pile of books,” said the proprietor, ‘‘and she seemed pleased. As she was going out she took hold of my pencil and asked me something in French which I did not understand. Seeing that I failed to catch her meaning, she looked about on the counters, then, quick as a flash, she took up a volume of one of the very best sets of Scott, bound in tree calf, opened it at the very center, wrote something quickly, calmly tore out the leaf, handed it to me, smiled, and went out." The astonished bookseller looked at the leaf and discovered that Sarah had written a pass for two to her perform ance that evening! Magnificent, but it was not a cheap entertainment for the bookseller. The One He Mtnwed. “I was elected by the votes of eight different nationalities,” declared an east side aiderman as he tucked his thumbs in the armholes of his vest and struck an attitude. ‘‘That so? What were they?” ‘'lrish, German, Polish. English, Italian, French and Greek.’ “That's only seven. ” “What the deuce was the other now? There were eight sure.” “Americans,” suggested a reporter. “That's it. Couldn't think of them to eave me.” —Detroit Free Press. Poor BnnineMM. An old gravedigger who lived in a village at the foot of the Grampians was one day complaining about the dullness of times. “Man, John, is trade that bad wi’ ye?” said a sympathizing neighbor. “Bad!” returned John, bringing his staff down with an impatient gesture. “I liavena buried a leevin sowl this sax weeks. ” During the middle ages, when the aristocracy of Florence and Venice was so tyrannous to its dependents, mur der was considered as a small crime and poisoning was so skillfully effected that many people lived almost entirely on boiled eggs. In the river Llano, in Texas, islands of floating sand are sometimes seen. Purchase of ancestors. Neither n Difficult Nor an Expensive Operation In London. Persons are constantly calling at the heralds’ college in Queen Victoria street in quest of coats of arms or ancestors. In addition to that ancient oak paneled hall there are shops In the streets of London, gay with heraldic marvelous mediaeval birds and beasts, where pedi grees can be purchased and shields pro cured, with supporters, quarterings, crest and motto complete. When W. S. Gilbert playfully alluded to “ancestors by purchase,” he probably did not realize that ho was making a smart hit at tho traffic in crests and shields. Tills is how it is done: A clerk keeps a kind of stock reference book, giving the names of various county families and par ticulars of their heraldic bearings. “Your name and place of residence, please,” says the clerk. “Brown of Camberwell,” or “Jones of Wardour street.” or “Smithof Mile End,” replies the applicant. “Ah, yes; Wardour street is in Middle sex. Jones of Middlesex. Oh, hero it is, a lovely arms too! Azure, three balls of Lombardy or crest, an empty purse, vert; mottoes, ‘L’enipirc, e’est la paix,’ and ‘Keep off tho grass.’ ” “Think I've a perfect right to it?” asks Jones of Middlesex, with an assumed care lessness. “Oh, most decidedly!” replies tho clerk. “We'll make you a lovely sketch of it. Only 3s. (id., that's all. Thank you, sir.’’ “Nobody can touch mo for wearing it?” pursues Jones, with a growing fear of ar rest for petty larceny. “Nobody at all,” says tho shopman. ‘‘Fay tho annual tax for bearing arms, and nobody can touch you.” That is correct. On tho principle of the great Wackford Squeers, that a man may call his house an island if he pleases, there being “no law fig’in it,” so a man may call certain arms his own and apply tho same decoration of his note paper, signet ring and wheelbarrow. So that some em inently respectable heraldry, originally granted perhaps for some desperate valor amid the steel clash of Cressy or the ar rowy showers of Agincourt, is passed off in this matter of fact age for a miserable 3s. 6d. to “Jones of Middlesex.” But tho college of heralds is the only place in the British empire which can grant a man arms by royal letters patent. It cost Colonel Slipway £683 to Obtain arms and ancestors that did not belong to him or his family. At the college of heralds the extreme expense of a genuine coat is just one-ninth of that sum. Seven ty-six pounds ten shillings is the highest fee the college may charge, and this in cludes stamp duty and a vellum scrool with the royal sign manual affixed there to. Nor may the college charge a fee for any information unless it states that fee before giving the information. Tho man who goes there knows exactly beforehand what he will have to pay. The bill is not being constantly added to by disinterred lead coffins or initials on belfry beams. “But can any one walk up Queen Vic toria street, entar the little courtyard, ascend the stone steps and plank down £76 10s. and get himself a coat of arms?” The Daily Mail representative asked this question at the college. No, was the answer. Before being granted a coat of arms a man must prove he has reached a state of life in which arms can be suitably borne. The proof is loft entirely to the discretion of the Duke of Norfolk, earl marshal of England.—Lon don Mail. Bound to Get the Rubbers. They tell a pretty good story of a sport who entered a Lynn shoe store one day last week to purchase a pair of rubbers to pull over his needle pointed shoes. He was told that no rubber was made that would fit such shoes, and he asked what he could do, and the proprietor told him that the only thing he knew of was to cut off about two inches. Another customer came in and occupied the attention of the proprietor, and the next the latter saw of the needle toed man was when he reappeared from the work shop, which is in tho rear of the store, With two inches cut off the end of each shoe, and inquired if he could find rub bers to lit. Tho proprietor didn’t know what to say, but fitted tho shoes with rub bers, and tho young man without com immt paid 60 cents and departed, appar ently satisfied.—Lawrence Sentinel. Freaks of a Jury Wheel. Pittsburg people are ruminating over a jury wheel mystery. In the drawing of tho petit jury for the November term of the United States circuit court there was taken from the wheel the name of Coroner Heber McDowell, placed in the wheel 16 years ago while Mr. McDowell was a con stable in Pittsburg; also tho name of John G. Reading, Jr., that was put in the wheel over 11 years ago while he was a law student at Williamsport. Mr. Read ing is now a leading Pittsburg lawyer. In contradistinction to tho names that have been in tho wheel so long and undisturb ed 26 of the 48 at the recent drawing were among those put in the last time the wheel was filled. The wheel always contains 300 names. When a jury is drawn, as many names are substituted as are taken out. —Philadelphia Press. Equal to the Occasion. Grace, who lives in Tioga, is barely 5 years old. She was in the front yard the other day when two of her small admirers climbed over the fence. She recognized her duties as a hostess, but the end of a stick of lemon candy remaining in her hand was too small to be divided. Tommy was in the lead. He is a chubby young ster, with an insatiable longing for pie. Bis chum wears long curls and is fonder of fairy stories than anything else. Grace was aware of their limitations. When Tommy ran up, she proffered the eagerly accepted candy to him. Then she turned to his chum with a radiant smile. “But I’ll div you atiss.”—Philadelphia Record. A Picture of Dune. In private life Duse dresses almost en tirely in white. She wears no corset and docs not make up her face even for the stage. She has beautiful black hair, but she bundles it up anyhow ami is quite proud of the one snow y white lock that sweeps across her temple. As to her char acter, this is what a great friend says: “She is a charming woman, sincere, brave and good. Her conversation, when she chooses to speak, is startlingly brilliant, but she is one of the saddest women I have ever known.” Balfour on Dlwraeli. Miss Lubbock unco remarked to Arthur Balfour that she would like to hear Dis raeli’s conversation. “You need not do that.” he replied. ‘You have only to imagine a brazen mask talking his own novels. ” A LIFETC.

They Were Requested to ('all and Steal Valuable lldrloums. A man rushed into the business office of one of the daily papers and stopped at tho advertising window. There he secured a pad of paper and a pencil with a string to it. He wrote and erased, and then tore up what he had written, chew ing the fragments savagely while lie made another copy. “There,” he said at last, as he thrust the paper into the hand of tho advertising clerk, “count the words and tell me what they will cost for one in sertion. I reckon that will fetch them. ” This was the advertisement: “Burglars are requested to call some night this week on Mr. and Mrs. Eras tus Brown, Ash court. A door and win dow will bo left open and every facility offered for removing the spoils.” “But this is a very unusual form of advertisement, ” said the clerk, with a troubled look. "I don’t know whether to put it under tho head es personal or educational. What is your motive, may I ask?” “My motive?” said tho advertiser, “is to get rid of an awful incubus of inherited truck without any responsi bility fastened upon me. I might burn the house down, but in that case I would bo expected to save the heirlooms or perish with them. Say, young man, were you ever the victim of a legacy?” “No,” said the clerk, with a friend ly grin. “What a funny question.” “No old maid aunt ever died and left you a dozen battered silver teaspoons that had come down from Oliver Crom well?” “Never!” “Lucky chap! Never had a solid sil ver punch bowl bequeathed to you by a bibulous old uncle who was a disgrace to the family while he lived, but prom ised to return and haunt you if you didn’t entertain his comrades once a year out of that bowl?” “I should say not.” “Nor a great-grandmother who left you a silver soup ladle with a coat of arms of some unknown dead and gone ancestor which must be placed under your pillow every night for safe keep ing?” “No,” said tho clerk. “I belong to plain, everyday people, and we haven’t a coat of arms to our backs.” “Be thankful, young man. You little realize what a blessed lot is yours. To crown our misfortunes, another relative died in Paris last week and left us her diamonds. But I draw the line at dia monds, and so does my wife. We take turns now sitting up with the silver. After the burglars come and clean us out we shall begin to live. Put that ad vertisement in a good place, and I’ll let you know if we hear from it. S’long. ” —Chicago Times-Herald The Ohl Time Stagecoach. In 1762 there were, strange as it seems, only six stagecoaches running in al) England, and of course these were the only public vehicles for travelers. Even these were a novelty, and a per son named John Cresset thought they were such a dangerous innovation that he wrote a pamphlet against them. “These coaches,” he wrote, “make gen tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neces sity. Nay, the conveniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be in the wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such a habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after.” Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this day.—Exchange. A Natural Query. “I am getting up a little article about men of wealth, ” explained the reporter, as he entered tho great merchant’s office, “as a sort of lesson for the young men of today. Would you mind telling me tow you got J ur fir-f al start in life?” “Not at all, not at all,” replied the old man pleasantly. “Do you want the truth, or the regulation biographical ro mance that is ordinarily used? It's im material to me.” —Chicago Post. The Meanest Man. “Aixiut the meanest man I ever knew,” said the steady liar, “was a fellow over in Indiana.
