Too many people mistake a wish
for an ambition.
A good man is never afraid of
being laughed at for doing good.
If you want to know if good
roads are a good thing, ask the
horse. _
As a rule a man is either very
sober or very drunk when he loves
his enemies.
Nothing pleases a grandmother
more than to have a man say "she
doesn't look it.”
It’s just as easy to boost as it is
to knock and you always have the
most people on your side.
A girl's kisses are like pickles in
a bottle—the first is hard to get
out but the rest come easy.
The man who lives up to his
highest ideals, will find his ideals
constantly going higher and higher.
When a pretty young widow
camps on a bachelor's trail, he's as
good as engaged or as bad as mar
ried. _
We don't know yet whether it is
true that the hobble skirt makes
women knock-kneed, but the sea
shore season will soon be open.
T. R. must be content to be the
third Lincoln, if we take the "Col
onel's" own word for it in 1908 he
said that Mr. Taft is the second.
The man who thinks he is so
smooth he can't be found out is al
ways discovered in the end. and his
fall is generally a pretty hard one.
One nice thing about doing good
is the fact that good is contagious
it spreads all over one's system
and one's friends are apt to catch it.
You never look as good as your
photograph says you do, and there
are other reasons to believe that
the catalogs are bound to misrep
resent the real articles.
Teddy Roosevelt claims to have
won the Republican nomination for
president. He should have said
the steel trust and its manager.Mr,
Perkins, are trying to buy it for
him. _
We heartily approve the plan for
the government to coin half-cent
pieces, as is now contemplated
When that happens the average
newspaper man may have some
money to jingh in his jeans.
;WAS HE a;
; HERO?
Had any of his chums been there to
see they would have jeered at the
Idea.
Floyd Grant, 25 years old, and of the
city, and one of the latest guests at
the Mountain Top house, has raised
his hat to the chambermaid on his
floor as he encountered her at the door
af his room.
It came about through a sort of in- '
stinct or intuition. He somehow felt
that he was in the presence of a lady,
and up went his hat. Two minutes
luter the elevator had landed him on
the office floor and he was puzzling
aver it a bit. The mystery was solved
an hour later when he overheard one
lady telling another that len young
women who were working their way
through college had taken places in
the hotel as chambermaids for the sea
son.
Ethel Davis, daughter of a widow
who was none too well oil, was one of
the ten. When taking the situation
the clerk of the hotel had said to
her:
"No airs, now. You are coming as
» servant, and you will be expected to
dress and do the work of one. You
can't be a college girl here."
At nine o'clock the next morning the
same young man came up from break
fast just as she was finishing his room,
ind looked in and saw her and raised
his hat and backed out.
Next day, in front of the elevator,
the hat was lifted for the third time,
and two young lady guests giggled and
he elevator boy dared to wink at Miss
Ethel. Her cheeks burned and her
eyes flashed, and she almost decided
to go to the management and enter
complaint. If there was a fourth time
she would do so.
There was a fourth time, but she
iidn't do what she thought she would,
rhe manager and hotel detective were
.n company with Mr. Grant when he
entered his room where she was still
lusting, and although he, alone, of the
trio lifted his hat, she was too con
fused to more than notice it.
"Miss Davis," began the manager,
with the voice and attitude of a mag
istrate, ‘‘a sum of money has mysteri
ously disappeared fiom this room this
morning. Mr. Grant rose earlier than
usual to take a walk betore breakfast,
and left a purse with $200 in it under
his pillow. When he returned it was
missing. You were on this floor and
must have seen him go. You also have
duplicate keys to the rooms.”
‘‘And I wish to say. Miss Davis," sal’
Mr. Grant, "that not the slightest sus
picion attaches to you. 1 merely re
ported the loss at the office.”
“But—but what is it?” asked the
surprised girl. “I didn't see the gen
tleman go out. I was not In the room
until a quarter of an hour ago. Sure
ly—”
“Miss Davis, you have duplicate
keys," insisted the manager.
The girl grew so weak that she sat
down. She was looking first at one
and then at the other, and her trem
bling lips w'ere trying to frame a ques
tion or protest when Mr. Grant sud
denly started and said:
"What an absent-minded idiot 1 am!
Why, 1 tossed that purse into my
trunk before leaving the room, and
there it is, fast locked, as we all can
see! Miss Davis, we came simply to
question you as regards others. The
house is full of guests, and there are
two or three on this very floor that we
might be suspicious of. I am sure 1
beg your pardon for the trouble we
have given you."
“But was it thought I took the
purse?" demanded the girl as her
voice came to her all at once.
"Surely not."
Miss Davis gave notice and the
next day she left the hotel. She felt
!hat she had been suspected, and she
could not stay. Mr. Grant touched his
hat to the new chambermaid who was
also a college student, but thought of
the other. Some one had got his
money. He had deliberately lied to
shield Miss Davis. The pursp could
■iot have been produced had the man
ager asked that the trunk be unlocked.
The question was not as to the girl's
honor, but whether she believed he
lied for her sake.
One morning, a week later, Mr.
Grunt arose at an early hour for an
other stroll. From his position be
j hind a bowlder on the mountain he
saw a man leave his room and walk
along the balcony of the Are escape
and enter another. The second room
belonged to the young man.
Half an hour later the robber-guest
was under arrest and had made a
written confession. That same day,
with a copy of the confession In his
pocket, the victim started for the home
of Mrs. Davis, a hundred miles awry.
The "chambermaid” opened the door
to his ring, and as she looked
into his eyes she asked with a weary
smile:
“Have you come to arrest me?"
“No, but to talk with you and your
mother. The real thief has been found,
and 1 have b#s confession here with
' me.”
“Then you lied when you said the
purse was in the trunk, believing me
guilty, you lied!”
"believing you innocent, l lied!”
"I—1 don't know—it’s all so queer.”
■ sobbed the girl, with her face to the
| wall.
"Not a bit queer. All plain as day.
I'm going to ask your mother if 1 may
pay my addresses to you, and some
time, when I know you love me, I shall
ask you to be tay wife. Wouldn't be at
all queer if we should be at the
: Mountain Top next year as man and
wife.”
BOUND TO LAND SOMEWHERE
Mr. Manheim's Roundabout Way to
Find Some Place Where He
Could Get “Rights.”
There may be a little exaggeration
In this bit of alleged court news from
the Troy Times, nevertheless, the tale
rests upon the important fact tl at
wives need no longer complain that
the law fails to protect them again t
their husbands. The “rights" of wo
men in this respect seem more secure
than the “rights” of men in the corre
sponding ease.
Simon Manheim, holding ice to the
side of his head, appeared in court
and demanded a summons for Mrs.
Manheim.
“I am a goct husband." explained
Simon, “but mine vife is peevish. See
vat she dit to me.”
The clerk expressed sympathy at
the state of Mr. Manheim's eye, hut
declined to i.-stie the summons. “Tlii -
court." said he, “is for women that
are not supported by their husbands.
Go up stairs to the police court.”
Mr. Manheim went up-stairs. The
magistrate looked at him coldly. “This
court is for wives who are abused by
their husbands,” he said, “not for hus
bands who can’t take care of them
selves.”
Mr. Manheim, obviously puzzled,
started downstairs again. He called
on the clerk of the court of domestic
relations. “Aber I don’t take care of
mine vife, do you git me?” he asked.
“We surely do." said the clerk.
“Here’s where we do full justice to
women, but we don't care a white
bean for men.”
Mr. Manheim started out. In an
hour he was back in the police court
under arrest, but with an air of men
tal repose. The magistrate wanted to
know the charge against Manheim.
“He threw a stone through the win
dow of the Woman’s Rights Club
room.’' said the policeman.—Youth’s
Companion.
HAD TENDER SPOT FOR HORSE
Washington and Grant A’ike in Their
Fondness for the Noble Friend
of Mankind.
The disposition of ti e 1. to Presi
dent Grant to talk horse was a great
cause of offense to certain prim peo
pie. If they had consulted history
[hey would have learned that horse
alk was also a characteristic of that
distinguished soldier and fine old Vir
ginia gentleman, George Washington
by name, declares a writer in the
Army and Navy Journal. “I found.”
wrote the artist Gilbert Stuart, “that
it was difficult to interest Washington
in conversation while I was taking his
portrait. I began on the revolution,
the battles of Monmouth and Prince
ton, but be was absolutely dumb. A!'t
or a while 1 got on horses. T had
touched the right chord.” Washington
was then president of the United
States and resided in Philadelphia,
where he had a stable of six and twen
ty horses. lie used to say that he
needed but one good quality in a
horse and that was to go along, for
he could always keep his saddle, pro
vided the animal could keep his legs.
After the surrender at Appomattox
Grant had not a word to say about
the stirring events through which he
had just passed, but as he sat over
his campfire that night he turned to
his quartermaster and said: “Ingalls,
do you remember that old white mule
So and So used to ride in Mexico?”
Of course, under the circumstances.
Ingalls was prepared to rememb r
that or any other experience that
pleased his chief. He probably would
not have cared, however, to remember
just then the disastrous speculation
in raising potatoes in which he was
Grant's partner when they were sta
tioned together in Oregon.
Financier Insists on Rest.
There is a celebrated financier in
Wall street who can never be got be
tween three and four o'clock of any
fine, warm, sunny autumn afternoon.
He will not even see more celebrated
financiers then. The great public is
told that he is “very busy.” But to in
timates there is no secret about it.
Regular callers ask for Mr. So
and So and then watch the office boys.
One listens at the private office door.
Another listens at the te eplione board.
“Can you hear him?" asks the boy at
the door. “He’s not stirring." “Yes,
I hear him,” replies the office boy at
the switchboard. “He's still snoring.
It's very clear today.”
The financier sleeps in the sun which
pours through a great window. His
bed is a long couch. Near it is a tele
phone with receiver down.
Refore he sleeps he takes off his
boots. When the office boys hear him
bustling around to put on his boots
they know that in a few minutes call
ers may get their names sent in.
Caesar and the Empire.
The reason “why the Roman em
pire succeeded the republic” was that
there was felt to be an urgent need ot
a strong central power. For many
years the republic nad been desolated
and the cry of the whole people was
for peace—peace almost at any price
Now, peace could he secured only by
the ascendancy of a single man. rul
ing with absolute and irresi: tible
sway. So the people acquiesced in the
change. They even hailed it with joy.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair, but most men
were pleased with the revolution
which made Caesar supreme. Not
that they wero monarchistic at heart,
but that after the devastating strife
they wanted peace, even though it be
at the sacrifice of some of their liber
ties.

SOME EXCUSE FOR
mule;
But Ranch Hand Had Poor Opinion of
Any Other Living Thing That
Made Same Mistake.
“Recently," writes attorney Karl R.
Smith of Somerton, Yuma county,
Arizona. “1 was obliged to remain at
a primitive southern Arizona ranch
over night, and at tibrwit dusk 1 was
‘given a quilt, a clean sheet, and a pil
low and told to take them to the top
i of a 20-foot alfalfa stack and make up
my bed. Knowing the condition of
he country, I clal not murmur, and
| climbed the pole ladder to spend the
night. I never enjoyed a better night's
rest at any hotel. At early dawn l
raised my head and saw two yearling
mule colts feeding at the edge of the
stack. Wo exchanged glances for a mo
ment, while the mules’ ears showed
keen astonishment. Suddenly I rose to
my feet, and in doing so the white
sheet clung to my shoulders, where
upon the colts ‘lit out' down the lane
is if the Angel Gabriel were de
scending to take them to ce’estial pas
turage. While at the breakfast table
I related the incident, which was much
enjoyed, but no remarks were made at
the time. As one of the ranch hands
was passing out of the door he said in
a subdued but distinctly audible voice
that it was the first time he had ever
hoard of a lawyer being mistaken for
an angel, and nobody but a mule w ould
have made such an error.”
