Newspaper Page Text3 TRIEVID DY ) THE GENTEEL POOR. “OH, THE PITY OF IT!” ONE EXCLAIMS WHEN CONSIDERING THEM. Straining to Maintain a Position Beyond Their Means—An Anecdote About Peo ple Who Manage to Get Along and Get Along by Managing. Do you know that there is a class of people whosuffer and of whom the world pever haars? I mean those whom we are apt to call the genteel poor. They are always with us. In my life I have lis tened to a great many queer. stories about them, and they are really to be pitied. They are, many of them,gingle women of uncertain age, who are obliged to live on infinitesimal incomes and with an amount of style. They can’t bring their ideas down to the level of their for tunes. They have always been used to certain things, and they must have or at least appear to have them. They can live only in a particular part of town, no matter if the rent consumes the biggest part of their funds, and they must do other things in just proportion. How do they do it? Why, with an amount of in genuity that would be valuable in a bet . ter cause. ‘ ’ They “manage.” That is the word. The genteel poor ‘“‘manage” to get ulong and get along by ‘‘managing.” Take a case that I happen to know about. They were a pair of sisters who rented apartments. I am not afraid to assert that theylived on samples. They went from one grocer to another and collected, little by little, almost all the things they needed for their meager menage. Sample cans of soup furnished their table at many a midday meal, Their cracker jar was a wonderful mixture of different brands. They did so like a va riety, they said. Their bonbon dish was replenished in a way that seemed little short of stealing. They would make pe riodical calls at warious eonfectioners and a¢ each take a bit of candy from the plles that were exposed to view. Hidden in a bag, or in a muff if it was winter, the aggregate of this booty when taken home form‘@'aqtﬁte a dishfal and helped out at thefr afternoon receptions, whivh, in accordance with their ideas of hospi tality and the traditions of their family, they always gave during the season. I used to wonder how they felt when they knelt on Sundays before that gor geous shrine which they affected and gave the résponse to that solemn admo nition, ‘“Thou. shalt mnot steal,” but'l fancy they thought it was perfectly le gitimate. : They always dressed in black, ‘and 1 am sure I don’t know how they ‘‘man aged” their wardrobes. -T suppose the bargain counters helped them ont, and I fancy their gowns were sometimes made by a very swell dressmaker whom years ago they employed 4s & seamstress and introduced to theip-wealthy friends. By this the woman Wag enghled to get a footing, and no deit 0' gratitude prompt ed her to give them some hslp in the re construction of their wardrobes. But this was long ago. I wonderif the younger sister, who now occupies a position asvﬁe wife of a wealthy man, is aware that I know.all abeut.the gown -.she wore W en%vﬂﬁ;iﬁ:&g 'ktl?gpf&;fho tm,l.au.lc.ipﬂttegl ha}%ﬁw the . thraldom of petty economy. Idoubt it, but I do, and I am going to tell you. 5 The two women had been invited to a dinner given by a swell friend. The elder could not go on account of ill health, buti the: younger must. - Then came the questiocn of what to wear. Ev erything had been exhausted, and there was no money for a costume. At last, in despair, the younger woman opened a trunk filled with clothing from the rec tory—their childhood’s home. She had it! Within its depths there was the black silk robe that her father had worn. It was. hﬂ&V{ and of ‘beanti ful texture. Its ample folds would make a short skirt and part of a waist. _ While in a quandaryas to what would fill out the deficiency she saw beneath the velvet pall that had covered her fa ther’s coffin. . It-had been the last loving tribute of a sick parishioner. Here were the train and ancther part of the waist, ~ Did no thought of its association with the dead man'or réemembrance of the sol emn service return to her, you ask? Not a bit of it. Beneath it, crumpled up in many creases, was the crape that had. draped the altar. Behold what a co=- tume was evolved!. A long train of wvel vet over a skirt of heavy black silk trim med with folds of c¢rape, whose somber blackness served to make still whiter the neck displayed beheath the decollete cor sage. She waselegant indeed, and at the dinuer she played her cards 'so well that she captured an extremely eligible bach elor, and her struggles were over, But think of it! ‘I know you'll, say, “QOh, the pity of it!” ' * *° .

Young Men rail to Know a Good Thing VW hen They Fiad It. From the Pliladelphia Times. Millionaire Jacoh Tome, president of the Ce~il National bank, Port Deposit, Md., thoughtlessly left a package con taining $60,000 in his seat on leaving the Baltimore-Oxford express at Port Deposit last Thursday. ¥r. Tome had been in Washington during the day sell ing “'some bonds, and accepted the pay ment in cash, which was carefully wrapped up in order not to create sus picion. On his arrival at Port Deposit he left the car, but forgot the package. At the the same station the Port Deposit Musical and Dramatic Association boarded the train. One of the young men noticed the package, and gave it a toss to a companion, who returned it. The valuable ball was kept in motion until Rising Sun was reached, where they expected to perform that night. Captian E. L Gilligan, conductor, no ticed they left the package that had afforded so much amusement, and pick ing it up stepped to the rear platform of the train and shouted to the young m:n that they had left their package, and would have thrown it to them, but the train had passed too,far from the station. " A PREVIOUS LOSS. At Nottingham Conductor Gilligan received a telegram from Mr. Tome to take charge of tlie package he had lefu on the seat and return it to him on his arrival the next day at Port Deposit, as it contained 60,000, The package rested in the safe of the express car‘over night *and was del versd next morn ing' M 3 v i ~ Mr, Tome is 84 years of age and trans ‘acts business as formerly, but this act ‘of forgetfulness' will put him on s guard.

He entered a Sixth avenue L car and sat :down ‘opposite two pretty girls. He un buttoned his English topcoat and pulled ~ap his well creased trousers. He felt around -his collar and. adjusted his tie f and stud. He pulled out a gorgeous silk bandanna and mopped his brow, smoothed his silk hat, heaved a sigh of relief, leaned back comfortably and then looked complacently at the two shy crea tures. His eye eaught that of the young er, and he smiled approvingly. = “QOh; May,” she said in a stage whisper to her companion, *“just look at the man acrossifhe misle.” . bu e The amiznal in quostion pificked . its CATETT : . “What furnishing house do you sup pose he is advertising?” A dude left the car at the next station. It was the same dude, only ke didn'§look &0 complacent ngg prk Recordery - _ Thé tramp had called bt ahouse where. there had beena party the night before and had been given a very good meal at the kitchen table, with the lady of the hotise ‘subéi"x”x’l'f’éé”ﬁﬁi‘ﬁg'f’ﬁé feast. She was a good hearted woman, and thinking the wanderer might appreciate a dainty she had added a dish of ice cream to the menu, She put a spoon; beside it, and in’ a minute or two he was ready for it and ghe stood by to note his enjoyment, : “I beg your pardon, mum,” he said as he picked up the spoon, “will you le kind enough to give me a fork to eat thig . creamn with?” and the good woman almost collapsed.—~Detroit Free Press. K His Planets. A young gentleman was passing an ex amination,in physics. He was asked, “What planets were known to the an cients?” Eie Ry i «“Well, sir,” he responded, ‘‘there were Venus and Jupiter, and’—after .a pause —¢] think the earth, bat I am not quite certain.”—London Punch.

An interesting story of filial devotion is told of a Deering citizen Wwho, 48 « young man, followed the sea and visited many foreign lands, settling down b home some 30 years ago, never haviug slept out of his own house but 10 nights since that time. During all these years he has never failed every day to call at the neighboring house of his aged par ents in the early morning before going to his work in Portland and on his re turn at night, He always: finds his fa ther and mother ready to greet him. He always says “Hello” in his chicery voice, and the old man replies, “We're here, John.” That is all, but 30 years of that every day is vastly more filial compan ionship than falls to the lot of -most fa thers, and fortunate indeed is the moth er whose fond heart never looks in vain for the daily visit of her son!—Lewiston Journal. : . A Railroad Through the Sea. An interesting experiment is about to be carried out at Brighton in the shape of the construction of a marine railway for the purpose of connecting Brighton with the little village of Rottingdean, some three or four miles to the eastward, The rails will be laid on the solid rock with concrete and at high water will be covered by the sea, which, however, will not affect the carriages, the latter being supported on a framework that keeps them high and dry. At this part of the coast the cliffs are high, and tue beach is practically inaccessible, so that no boat ing traffic will be inperfered with. The cars will be moved by electricity, like those now in use along the eastern fore shore of Brighton.—London News. A Modest.
