WHY HIS EFFORTS TO SQUARE HIMSELF FELL TO THE GROUND. The little hours had crawled up to the comb of the roof of night and fallen -over until three of them were rolling down the far side toward the caves of morning, when a solitary footman might have been seen slipping into his own. house with his shoes in his hand. How needless, oh, how needless are oftentimes the devices of man“! How nugatory and void are oftentimes his chest painstaking efforts l His wife was wide awake and wait- ing for him when he entered the sanc- tified seclusion of their apartment. “ I was so afraid of waking you, dear," he stammered, as he let the shoes fall from his nerveless grasp to the floor with a couple of dull thuds so close together they seemed as one. She asked him in a stone-cold voice ‘where he had been to be getting in at that time of night. He thanked heaven for an opportuni- ty to explain, and he told her a bar- ‘rowing tale of business and delayed trains and telephones out of order and telegraph wires down and no messen- gers, that would have moved a heart of «marble. She never said a word as she looked straight at him. “ Do you doubt me? ” he said, as if indignant at the implied suspicion in iher silence, and then pleadineg : “ Do “you doubt me? Oh, Mary, how can you ?" Her face softened, and the fixity of her eyes relaxed. “ No, William,” she responded almost gently. “No; I do not doubt you. At first there might have been some doubt in my mind. but now, thank heaven, there is none! Not a shadow, William. and I’m as sure that you are lying as that you are standing before me i" Then William bowed his head in shame and turned up the gasâ€"at her requestâ€"so she could get a better look «It him.â€" Washington Star. 0-. Wasted Economy. “Alittle over one year ago," said ‘Smithson, “‘I made up my mind that I was smoking too much. It didn’t seem .to afi'ect my health in the least, but I "thought it Was a foolish waste ofmoney, and I decided to give it up.” “ A very sensible idea, indeed,” re- marked Brownlow. “ So I thought at the time. I figured ‘out. as closely as I could, how much I had been spending each day for cigars :and tobacco. That sum I took each day :and started a bank account with it. I Wanted to be able to show just exactly. how much I had saved by not smok- ing. ’ “And how did it work ?” inquired Brownlow. “ At. the end of 12 months I found that I had £55 in the bank.” " Good! Could you lend me "~- “ And a few days later,” interrupted ‘Smithsonâ€"“ last Thursday, in factâ€" the bank failed. You haven’t got a cigar about your clothes, have you ?"â€"- .Lmdon Fun. 0+. Depends Upon the Point of View. “ I have always looked at dentistry,” 'the surgeon was saying, “as a higher branch of the mechanic arts, but it isn’t a profession. What does a dentist do? He works in teeth. He is merely a skilled mechanic.” ' “ I never could see,” observed the dentist, “ why surgery is considered a profession. What does a surgeon do? He works simply in flesh and bones. He’s a thirty-third degree butcher.” Whereupou a physician joined them, and both agreed in saying he was noth- ing more than a glorified hospital nurse.

A postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning the paper does not. answer the law), when a subseriberdoes not take his paper out of the ofiice and state the reasons for its not beingtaken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publisher for payment. 2. If any. person orders his paper discon- tinued he must pay all arrest-ages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made. and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. There can be no legal discontinu- ance until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes u paper from the post-office, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the pay 4. If a subscriber orders his paper totha stopped at a certain time, and the pub. lisher continues to send, the subseriber is bound to pay. for it it' he take post-office. This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5.
