Lady Stanley and the Bootblack Who
Wanted to Know.
Lady Stanley— : so much better
known to her countless friends as
Dolly Tennant—before her mar
riage to Sir Henry Stanley devoted
a great deal of her time to art, and
especially to an inimitable depicting
of the small street arab, the lads
and lassies of the ragamuffin order.
For the purposes of these pictures
she used to seek models in all grades
of London boy life, and among her
sitters was a little bootblack, who,
in addition to being her model, was
also her humble but devoted ad
mirer.
One afternoon she invited him
and some half a dozen of her little
friends to a grand tea party in Rich
mond terrace.
The children gathered round the
table, awe. stricken at the lavish dis
play of cakes and tarts and the sub
tle sweet creations of the pastry
cook which the kindly hostess had
provided, but it was noted that the
bootblack was not absorbed in the
contemplation of the good tilings,
but kept his bright eyes fixed on the
mail servant, who, dressed in the
Tennant livery, ornamented with
shining brass buttons, was. attend
ing to the wants of the small guests.
The bootblack never took his eyes
off him/ but watched him without a
wink till, in the cQurse of his duties,
the man withdrew from the room
for a moment. ' Then, edging up to
Lady Stanley, the bootblack in a
confidently aside said: .
“Miss, what’s yer bruvver wear
. them buttons for?”
The Judge Was Compassionate.
A certain judge who once presid
ed over a criminal court was famous
as One of the most compassionate
men who ever sat upon the bench.
“DON T CRY, SAID THE JUDGE.
His softness of Heart, however, did
not prevent him from doing his
duty as a judge. A man who .had
been convicted of stealing a small
amount was brought into court for
sentence. He looked very sad and
hopeless and the court was much
moved by his contrite appearance.
“Have you ever been sentenced to
imprisonment?” the judge asked.
“Never, never!” exclaimed the pris
oner, bursting into tears. “Don’t
cry, don’t cry,” said the judge con
solingly, “you’re going to be now!”

In late years men have made
fortunes out of the tailings of
goldmines. The mills in which
the ore formerly was crushed and
the crude processes then in use
allowed a large percentage of the
precious metal to escape, and
that loss amounted to some cases
a fortune. The stomach is just
like a stamp mill in this respect,
that when it is not in perfect or
der it allows the escape and waste
of much of the precious nutri
ment contained in the food. That
loss when continuos means the
loss of man’s greatest fortune,—
health. Science offers a remedy
for this condition in Dr. -Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It
corrects the “weakness” of the
stomach, prevents waste and loss
of nourishment, and puts the
stomach and organs of. digestion
and nutrition into a condition of
health which enables them to save
and assimilate all the nutriment
contained in the food which is
eaten. In all cases of constipa
tion the use of Dr. Pierce’s Pleas
ant Pellets will speedily and per
manently cure the disease.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
How the New Office Boy Fooled HI:
Erhployer..
“I never felt so cheap before it
my life,” declared the well knowi
business man. “I am a great stick
ler for honesty, and I simply wit
not have any one around me ol
whom I have the least suspicion
and when I find a man that. I knotf
I can trust I regard his honesty as
a valuable asset and pay him ac
cordingly. The result has been thal
I have gathered around me a force
of employees of whom I am justlj
proud, from the janitor up to the
cashier. The other day my old of
fice boy left me, and I was obliged
to hire a new one.
“Out of the numerous applicants
I selected a bright and honest ap
pearing boy and put him to work.
The the old question arose. Was-
he honest ? I am old enough to re
alize that appearances are some-,
times deceitful, and I resolved to
test the boy in a mild way. So one
night when I departed for home I
left a nickel prominently, displayed
upon my- desk. After reaching
home I felt sorry for what I had
done. I realized that by my act I
had been placing temptation in the
boy’s path and that there was little
to excuse my plan, so I was very
much relieved the following morn
ing to find the nickel where I had
left it. Then I saw there was some
thing there that I had not left, and
that was a bit of paper upon which
the money lay and upon which was
written in the new boy’s hand the
inscription, ‘To be left until called
f<3y.’ I’ve got a smart lad in that
new boy; too smart, I’m afraid.”

Failed on the Test.
“No, Mr. Whipcord,” said the
Boston young woman rising. “It
is useless to. urge me. I had begun
to hope that we were congenial, but
I see my error. I cannot marry
you. I could never endure the
daily companionship of a man who
pronounces gen-e-al-o-gy ‘ge-ne-ol-
o-gy.’ ”—Chicago Tribune.
Hopeful.
“Do you think that literature is
on the decline in this country?” '
“I don’t know,” answered Miss
Cayenne. “If half the books are
as clever and convincing as the ad
vertisements of them, I should say
that we have entered upon a re
markable era of genius.”-—Washing

Honey In the Statue.
The heroic equestrian statue- of
Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Va., is
believed to have hundreds of pounds
Of honey concealed inside of it. For.
months bees have been going in and
out of the parted lips of both the.
human and. the animal figure. The
insects were first seen there last
summer and doubtless have been
making honey ever since. There is
v no way to get inside either figure
without doing irreparable damage,
hut fear is entertained that vandal
hands may make the attempt.
A New Scene In the Show.
The audience at a theater in
Portland, Or., became habitually
impertinent between acts and fre
quently hissed when they thought
the delays were needlessly long. At
length the manager hit upon a way
to pacify them: Once in each per
formance during the most elaborate
change of scenery he kept the cur

the stage hands worked as fast as
possible, Th.at part of the show
has become-popular.
Too-Much Electricity. •

comes within a hundred feet of

thunderstorm he is m a state of.
constant agitation. He attributes

mother two months before his birth
was struck by lightning.
