"Thanks, very mucb! Iffow, Miss Fosdick, in commencing your work as a stenographer for the iirnj of Popliu & ton, it is necessary for me to In­ struct you HS to your duties. I have charge of th ' house's correspondence --entire cnargc. My name, Miss-Fos­ dick, is Hippie." "Yes," Mr. Hippie," $be gifi 're­ plied meekly. "In the first place," Mr. Hippie went on, leaning back in his chair so as to expand his chest to its utmost capacity, and twisting his mustache with both hands as he spoke; "in the iirat place, I always Insist oh my stenographer's taking me down ver­ batim et literatim. 1 -suppose you know what that means. It's Latin," he addea, condescendingly. ;"Yes, sir." "Well, Miss Fosdick, 1 'have bad 'the house's correspondence in my J hands for several years, and both Mr. Poplins have eome ito rely implicitly •upon me. Inaeed, I do not really see how this department could move •along without me." The girl's gray eyes looked at the indispensible clerk with an amused twinkle. "I think I can say, Miss Fosdick," the young man proceeded, as he set­ tled himself more comfortably in his chair, "and 1 think I can say it with­ out the slightest egotism or desire to boast, that I have made the letters of Poplin & Son famous throughout the business world as models of English composition and ornate diction." The cierk watched the countenance of his new assistant closelv, to note the impression of his words. Miss Fosdick nodded understand- ingly and smiled. It was a sweet smile, for she could not smile any other sort had she tried. "Those are the reasons why I al­ ways insist on absolute accuracy on the part of my stenographer. I do .not permit even the alteration of a single word or any other change what­ ever. I trust you apprehend me clearly."- , ' : "Quite so, Mr. Hippie." "Then we will begin." \ Mabel Fosdick's first day's work was perfectly satisfactory to the hypercritical correspondence clerk. He found himself taken down with unvarying accuracy. In the tran­ scribed letters, too, the words were 6pelled all correctly. She . never struck the wrong character on her machine--a fault so common among typewriters, and one which some­ times helps to make type-written communications resemble Egyptian hieroglyphics Thanks to Miss Fosdick's skill, Mr, Hippie's specimen's of orate English composition went forth into the busi­ ness world more faultlessly^than ever. and aided in making smooth the rough places of commercial epistolary communication. Tbe tlrm of Poplin & Son had been served by a masculine typewriter, but the style of the correspondence clerk had become too oppressive for him and he had resigned. This was ex­ actly what Mr, Hippie wished, for he longed for a typewriter with laughing eyes and golden hair, upon whom to lavish his flowers of language--such a being as he had read about in tbe funny papers. At last h£ had found one to suit him, after much examina­ tion of applicants, in the person of Miss Fosdick. Everything went on with apparent smoothness for about a month. The members of the firm noted with ap­ proval the modest demeanor of their new typewriter, and the other male ; ^ vou rather -- er -- important, clerks in the establishment envied fhaVe been thinking of you almost | constantly since you went away two j days ago, and I wanted to--er -- ask you MBSSBS.

Your obedient servants. POPLIN St SOK. Hippie turned alternately red and white while his employer read this letter in icy tones, and said nothing when it was concluded. The occas­ ion did not seem to be one for the dis­ play of ornate English composition. After a painful pause the senior member of the firm went on: "Mr. Hippie, I think I'll attend to the correspondence of this flrni here­ after myself, and what love-making it is necessary to do to the typewriter I will also look after. The cashier will give you your salary to date. Good morning, sir." "The idea!" exclaimed Mr. Poplin to his son, the junior member, half an hour later, when he had laid the whole matter before him. "The idea that a womanly and modest girl like Miss Fosdick should be so grossly mis­ treated in my establishment exasper­ ates nie. She's pretty ari<| sweet, and (altogether admirable. " "i rather admire Hippie's taste," said the son. * "Oh, you do!" exclaimed the father. "Then I suppose I have done wrong in discharging the scamp, even when he knew his attentions were distaste­ ful to the girly" "No, father, you did quite right. Of course it would not do for that sort of thing to continue" "Of course it wouldn't It would be persecution of as sweet a girl as I know." "Why, you are not in love with her yourself, are you, father?" "1? A widower of fifteen years' standing? The idea! Can't an. elderly man defend a helpless young woman without su4h an imputation as that?" . "Oh! certainly." Then the conversation dropped. Old Mr. Poplin was in love with Miss Fosdick, nevertheless, and he resolved to ask her to be his son's stepmother on the first opportunity. He thought, moreover, that be would make that opportunity when she should report for duty. Miss Fosdick returned to the store at the appointed time and proceeded straight to the privata office* The eider Mr. Poplin was alone. "Good morning, Mr. Poplin,' said Miss Fosdick with her sweetest smile. "Oh, it's you, is it?" Mr. Poplin re­ plied, raising his eyes above his news­ paper; ,4sitdown, Miss Fosdick, please. Before you take the lid off your type­ writer I have something--er--to say Hippie his pleasant duties. One day tbe elder Mr. Poplin sent for Miss Fosdick to come iuto his private office, "Sit down, please," he said, when she arrived; "I have here a letter from my friend Mr. Shaw, of Shaw & King, who snys that a communica­ tion from this firm contains much ir­ relevant matter." Poplin looked over his glasses at Miss Fosdick, and found her blushing, with her eyes cast down. He asked, not unkindly: "Did vou write a letter to that firm lately?" "Yes, sir." , "Then you know Its character?" •Yes, sir. 'One moment,please. Mr. Poplin," Miss Fosdick interrupted him to say, '-'you must pardon me, but I have come back to work." "Eh? What's that?" '•No, sir. Fact Is, I--that Is--your SOB, sir--has done me the honor to-- to--propose, and--ana " "The sly young rascal!" ejaculated Poplin, not giving her a chance to finish. "Well, I suppose I'll have to be a father to you, and I will say I am proud of my new daughter." Then he thought: "I wonder if she really suspected "What h.eyou to say about .t?» * "I wrote it down just as Mr. , - Hippie dictated i/t, sir." ••So I suppoatfd, after reading it; but is it not m,ther unusual to insert in letters extraneous remarks made during dictation?" "He has always insisted on being taken down verbatim et literatim, sir," the pretty typewriter went on, with some confusion; "and really, sir, Mr.*Hipple has annoyed me so The Youngest Brit I nil Soldier.

Next thing, perhaps, we ^hali have a decision from the same source that the Dutch never iwned Hohand. In 'cftleaT' more^.fUl In "smaller towns and in tho coontfy, the value of some regu)ar physical drill is evident. In respect to wholesome surround­ ings the county hoy or girl ts much the more fortunate. The greater purity of the .air, though valuable, is perhaps not so much responsible for the better average of health found in the country as are the varied occupa­ tions. which give rise to a robust and symmetrical physical development. Coming from an examination of the crowded conditions of many city schools, one ceases to wonder at the necessity fbr the city's recruiting its ranks from a rural population. Boys with imperfectly developed bones re­ sulting in deformed figures, girls with stooping shoulders or curving spine are anything but rare. For such children something must be done. It seems absurd to over­ burden the brains of children who have so little physical strength. Such a course favors disease of both mind and l>ody. For some of the mental training imposed upon such children physical drill should be substituted. One hour --two hours, if necessary--might i>e taken from the schOoi hours and de­ voted to muscle, building exercises. Under » competent trainer and leader such exercises develop the greatest amount of result in the shape or en­ larged muscles, ami what is equally important, thev lessen nervous de­ velopment, »9 is evidenced' by less craving for excitement Many schools are already equipped with such arrangements, and the re- sixths nave li065 most gratifying. Every public school in every large city should be provided with appoint­ ments for regular physical exercises and drills. The time apent in exer­ cises ot this kind shows more muscle- building result than the same amount of time spent in some laborious occu­ pation demanding the use of certain muscles only; in fact, these exercises correct errors of unsymmetrical de­ velopment that exclusive occupations induce. For girls especially such exercises are valuable. Girls are as capable of developing muscleas are their brothers, and they are no less womanly for be­ ing possessors .of muscle or for know­ ing how to use it --Youth's Compan­ ion. 1 1 11 How Th*y Were Married. A reporter for the St. Louis Re­ public has been talking with the wife of "a popular preacher" al>out the marriages which have taken place at the parsonage. She has witnessed a good many, some of them attended with highly ludicrous incidents. Qne day, she says, ,a fine-looking young farmer, roughly dressed, with an ox- whip in his hand, knocked at the door and was shown into the parlor. There he laid his whip upon the mantleplece and proceeded to make known his errand. •'I say, parson," he began, with some embarrassment, "if I was to flgger roun' to day till I got things fixed to my notion could I come up here 'long with a girl an' git mar­ ried?" • "Certainly," said the minister, "certainly. What seems to be the trouble?" "Wal," answered the farmer, "I've got my license--that's all ready; I got it more'n a week aga An' now I've got a place to git married at. That's two things. But I ain't said nothing to the girl yet She's in town to-day, though, an I seen her in a store a-buyln' some things an' I'm goin' right down an' ask her." He took down his whip, flung it over his shoulder and went out of the door and down the street The min­ ister and his wife laughed but the wife went often to the window and peeped out to see whether the ex­ pectant couple were in sight More than an hour passed; she had nearly given them up; but at last they appeared--the girl, as the par son's wife expressed it, "a perfect little beauty, and as neat as a pin." "I had lots 'o trouble a-findln' her," said thes farmer by way of explana­ tions, and then they stood up and were married, while the bride seemed hardly to know whether to smile or to weep But when the ceremony was over and the minister's wife said something to her about it's being so sudden, she answered, while tears brimmed her eyes:, "But you see, uia'am, I've loved Jim ever since I can remember, and he was just too stupid to find it out" ' - 5J? $ . - ' ,. i The Natural Gait of Home**- TO "Speaking of gaits," said a cattle­ man to tbe delegate, "did you kno w that in its native state the horse has but two gaits--the walk and gallop? All others, such as the trot, pace, can­ ter, fox-trot, rack, and singie-foot are acquiredand artificial. True, a colt ill be born thjEit may pace on the day of its birth, but vou will find some of itsancestors have been taught to pace. I have cliased and captured wild horses in their native wilds and know this from observation. 1 never saw a wild horse trot A queer differenoe between wild horses and domestic is exhibited in breaking them. Now a wild horse tries to dismount his rider by pitching and bucking and it is the aim of the trainers to make him run. Get a wild horse to running straight ahead and he is conquered and will io a short time become docile. But with domestic stock just the opposite is the case. A tame horse tioeg not buck as a rule, but want? to run " Let him run and he :s ruined. The philosophy of the business is plain. The idea in both casos is t 4 bend the will of the horse to the riT-r'sdesire. The wild horse runs sferaiuht ahead because he is cowed artd afraid of his rider, and has despaired of throwing him. The tame horse because he has no fear at the rider and imagines he Is escaping. He is made to go slow quietly only through fear ahd respect Thus, you see. the wild horse runs to slav­ ery, while the tame horse runs to free- dafflfl.'"-r-Cincinnati Times-Star, Donbti'nl Benefits.

' Ban An? ot the Saper*tm<HB% af^Yw* If oath B«en Fulfilled? From time immemorial it has been considered good luck to find a four- leaved clover. Some have said that the discoverer of one was certalrf to become wealthy and wise; others, that tbe fairies would grant him every wish; and others, that tbe little magic leaves could show where gold was lying buried in the earth. And cer­ tainly there does seem to be some­ thing very wonderful in the fact that, in a lame field containing millions of little plants furnished with groups of tree leaflets, there should be only one or two of the four-leaved variety. I do not mean that some varieties of clover bear leaves all in groups of four or five, for this is not the fact Per­ haps one four-leaved clover will grow upon a plant that has fifty threes, al­ though occasionally several fours or fives will be found in a bunch ot the same plant As a general thing, three leaves are nearly of a size, while the fourth is somewhat smaller--though this does not always follow. I have seen several in which the fourth leaflet is borne out on a separate stalk. Five-leaved clovers occur almost as often as four. Freq uently fours and fives are found growing together. Some say that you must not pick a five-leaved clover--it will neutralize all the good luck brought by a fou r Others assert the direct contrary and say that it is very much more potent for good than the four-leaved stalk. According to one legend, only the bolder of a five-leaved clover can be admitted to the fairy-court Several pretty stories describe the fortunate one as standing out on the grass at midnight, holding up the matric wand, and presently finding himself wafted away on invisible wings to; Elf-land. '• Aside from the widespread interest, attaching to" the duplication- of the, leaflet clovers seem special favorites of poets and romancers, it is said that when St Pa trick was preach­ ing to the unconverted Irish some of them ridiculed the idea of the Trinity. For answer, he caught up a trefoil from the sod, and told them chat here was a leaf exemplifying three in one. Hence the three-leaved clover, or shamrock, was adopted as the na­ tional emblem of Ireland. Some say that the common wood-sorrel (Oxali? acetoseUa) shares with the white clover the credit of b^ing the true sham­ rock. One authority says that this oxalis is a native of Ireland, while the clover is of comparatively recent introduction. In a song by the Irish poet, Thomas Moore, the shamrock-- whether oxalis or clover he does not say--is mentioned as "Old Erin's na­ tive shamrock." As I said at first, the discovery of a four-leaved clover was regarded, even centuries ago, as an omen of good luck. And in a poem by Robert Her- riek, who wrote a short time after Shakspeare, is a meution of "lucky four-leaved grasse:" and, In another very old volume, , it is soberly stated that, "if a man walking in the fields finds any four-leaved grass, he shall, in asmall while after, find some good thing." Several mentions to the same effect are made in the writings of other poets. I nope you will have a hunt for magic clovers in the sweet-smelling summer fields; for 1 find, in that charming occupation, "luck" suffi­ cient--even when no "lucky four- leaved grasse" rewards my search.-- Margaret B.

Jin Persia truthfulness is at a pre­ mium, as the English resident soon discovers. For some time after his arrival he is the victim of his ser­ vants, of the tradesmen, and, indeed, of the natives in general. As Doc­ tor Wilis says, he buys experience more or less dearly, but having bought It he is able to correct liis mistakes one by one. Gradually he takes root in the country. He "hits it off" with the Persians. The solitary makes friends, --real friends, not mere acquaint­ ances.--and strange t:> say, these friends are often from tbe priesthood, the most fanatical among the Mos­ lems. And these Oriental friends always confess that what originally attracted them to their new ally is the strange fact that an Englishman doesn't lie. In Persia, 4he great hot-bed:of lies and intrigue, a man who doesi not lie is indeed a phenomenon. Very soon the Englishman is invited to din­ ners, to marriage feasts, even. to pic­ nics; for he is a lion, and the Leo- hunter exists, even in Persia. Little by little the influence of "the man who tells the truth" begins to spread; disputes are referred to him; for is he not the only judge in the place who does not hunger for a bribe? An unpaid arbitrator, he "embodies the iaw" in many a knotty dispute. There are no fees in his court, and tbe reference being by mu­ tual consent and purely unofficial, there can be no appeal. fzffw ONE ENJOYS Both the method and results when Sjrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys­ tem effectually, dispels colds, head* aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

No critic is so severe as is the master of th^establishment and a slight wrinkle will caUse him to-order the taking apart of the bodimand the making it so that H fits like) the proverbial glove; the same cj&re is shown in fitting a skirt, and at the really good tailor's a long- train cloth skirt, unless it were for evening or bouse wear, is not even considered. Among the prettiest of tbe new materials iter the cloth gowns are those showing very light backgrounds with hair lines or checks of a darker shade upon them. The hair lines are rather newer, and are almost invari­ ably seen on a smooth surfaced cloth. White is shown with a hair line of dark brown, dark blue, gray, purple gad, oddly-enough, emerald jfrfeeni TENNIS0N. The poet Tennyson was fond of his pipe, but he was exceeding suscepti­ ble to the charms of pretty women, whom he was willing to grant any favor to. In his later years'he had the reputation of being morose and discourteous, especially to strangers, but this was because he was so bored by them that they became a'veritable annoyance. He once had an Ameri­ can arrested and fined because the latter in his zeal had climbed the poet's favorite tree and cut off a large branch which he was going to fashion into a walking-stick as a memento. How many people would be willing to stand admiration to go at such lengths as this. The poet's death was caused by his own imprudence. He went riding insufficiently clad, took cold, and it settled upon his kidneys, as all colds do to a greater or lesser extent The result was an attack of pneumo­ nia, which proved fatal to him. Pneumonia can be cmed by the use of REID'S GERMAN COUGH AND KID­ NEY CURE, because this great remedy at once incites the kidneys to action, and thus relieves the congestion of the lungs.

Hnx, Court, Walker county, Georgia, thinks, enough of German Sjrntp to send us voluntarily a strong letter endorsing it When men of rank: and education thus use and recom­ mend an article, what they say v/crth the attention of the publik.
