her dreams of a higher more luxuriant atmosphere from which alas 1 ahe had awakened to the realities of a life of toil but lucys heart was tighter than asual for a generous friend was even then sitting in the adjoining room with her old uncle and through the partially open door she could hear his voice do you think abnar parke i would let my fathers old clerk the man who had broken down and grown gray in his service suffer from want before i went away i was almost as poor a yourself butnow that i have succeeded in amassing a little money lam going to make you comfort able yes i know lacy

marrying a j dressmaker j the drop game is frequently played j by thieves iil city banks whv some customer of the bank is counting tli money which he has drawn a stranger calls atten- tion to a bill winch has apparently been j dropped by the- depositor the customer loops to pick it up and on regaining his feet generally finds some if not all of the i money which he lias been counting gone j together with the stranger the following i story ii told of how ex- senator darid davis once outwitted a wouldbe thief tlie judge was making a deposit at a washington bank and stood counting a l large pile of money at a desk a well- dressed young man stepped up and with a bow and a smile said judge you have dropped a bill sore enough there lay a j clean crisp genuine twodollar bill at the depositors feet thank you blandly answered the judge placing his ponderous right boot over the bill on the 1 floor and calmlyresuminghiscountiug thesharper taken aback by the coolness of thejproceed- ing disappeared and the judge was 92 i ahead bv the transaction wnat she said a rather fast young mau becoming enamored of a pretty girl finally decided to make her a formal offer of his hand and heart all he was worth and then he hoped to be indulged in loverlike demon strations the young lady being so far coolly indifferent in her manner toward him he attributed this to maidenly reserve for it never occurred to him that she wasnt in love with him he cautioasly prefaced his declaration with a few questions for he had no intention of throwing himself away did she love him well enough to live in a cottage with him wa3 she a good cook and bottle washer did she think it a wifes duty to make home happy would she consult his tastes and wishes concern ing her associates and pursuits in life was she economical could she make her own clothes etc the young lady said that before she answered his questions she wonld assure him of some negative virtues she possessed she never drank emoked or chewed never owed a bill to her laundry or tailor never stayed oat all night playing billiards never hung on the street corners and ogled giddy girls never stood in wth the boys for cigars and wine suppers now said she rising indig nantly i am assured by those who know that you do all these things and it is rather absurd for yon lo expect all the virtues in me while you do not possess any of them yourself i can never be your wife aud she bowed him out and left him on the cold doorstep a madder if not a wiser man wise words childhood shows the mau as morning shows the day nothing is so
