A KEY TO INNER SELF. i J ) Found In th« CHo.c* of Adult Fiction For Reading. “If on know .n lull *m of fiction > adult-s like be-l you know something 1 of the dresnis and ambitions that ilu*y ne.er confide to a tiling soul,” I 1 odd i libriiriun who delights in , -tmlyiiig ilu* |e*r-onalitte» of the patrons of his library, “For in -taiue. there’s a young man who conies in hcPe for hook- of I lie most romantic sort, lu them there i-* al ways a mighty hero, who re-cues fair women and perform- deeds of ■ great valor and i* ofttimex sadly wi* ked. T iiis young man, I happen to i< reserved. pas-ive and c*n gage« little iu the world's activities. Bid I believe that if lie could make hiiu.-clf over he’d be one of the mad, daredevil .-oil. “Kvery week a young woman inine- in here to whom her friends al’Miv- apply the adjective ‘sensible/ Slit's supposed to l»e interested in .'•lily the practical tilings of life, but the fiction dm delights in is of the -ort where irresponsible, unreason ible voting women sweep everything iH'.ire tlmm. and I believe she is l secretly regretful that she is not of that type. A sharp, shrewd busi , or-.- woman friend of mine has cou ' fe-sed to me lhat her favorite books i are Iho-e in which the calm and i -Ample life i« depicted. She likes i gentle little essays also, and the way she sighed when she told me about it revealed to me that it was the life she would like to live if cir cumstances would allow her to. “There’s a little old maid who conics in here to take out bovs’ book*. She apologized a little one i dav, saving she always liked boys, although she never had any around her. 1 can just see that one of the cherished dreams of that little spin ster was marriage with a family of lw>ys growing up around her. A hustling business man who has not much time for reading always * houses some tender, graceful love story. I’ve talked with him some, and he admitted that the business world was far from satisfving him and that when he’d made money enough he was ‘going to live in a !*oetie atmosphere/ “Os course there are some be nighted people who will only read such fiction as is recommended to them by a person of authority. But just watch the people who have the courage to pick out their own books. You’ll find scholarly men choosing detective stories, self sufficient wom en reading tales of domestic bliss, doll-like inefficient women reading George Kliot and conventional young men and women delighting in tales of bohemian life. Os course f do not claim that the fiction a mum or woman reads is the key to his or her true character, but that it is an indication of another self, which has been kept in subjection.” —New York Tribune. Odd Combination. “Os course we know,” said the visitor, “that you can buy anything on earth New York and that everybody on earth comes here to buy. But some of the combinations of Iliings that yon find dealt in here by the same house do seem a little strange. For instance, 1 find here one wholesale concern whose special ties are dog collars and skates. Isn't that a queer combination? It struck me >o. but I didn’t ask how it came about because 1 didn’t want to know. No doubt 1 should have found it all simple enough. This concern, l suppose, either makes itself or it represent* manufacturers of these two lines of goods, and that’s all there is to it, but I preferred to en joy the novelty without looking, be hind the scenes. Large town, New York, aud 1 never come here with out discovering something new, or new at least to me.” —New York Sun. Dus and Legal Form. “Since it is ail over between ua, j Mis* Berkenhead,” said the young man, pale, but calm, “1 am com pelled to ask for the return of the numerous aud costly presents 1 have giveu you from time to time during the last aix months under the mis taken idea that I was your accepted lover and you were my affianced wife.” “No, Henry,” she answered, “you can’t claim them now. All you can do is to give me the neees-arv sixty days’ notice. By that time —er— perhaps confidence will be restor ed.”—Chicago Tribune. Th* Dog’* Chanco. In the barber's shop the scis«ors . clicked merrily away, and the bar ; ber's dog lay on the floor close be side the chair, looking up intently all the time at the occupant who was having his hair cut. “Nice dog,” said the customer. “He is, sir,” said the barber. “He seems very fond of watching you cut hair.” “It ain't that, sir," explained the barber, smiling. “Sometime- I make a mistake aud take a little (fieee «**lT a customer's ear!"
