| Mr. S miners, Bachelon : :
[Copyright, 130S. by T. C. McClurv]
Oao Juue morning Mr. Smlthers,
bachelor, sut looking out of the win
dow as he smoked his after breakfast
cigar. In an open window across the
street a girl's face suddenly appeared.
She had a birdcage In her hand, and
she looked all arouud for a uall to
hang It on. While she was looking for
the nail Smlthers was looking at her.
He saw a vision of loveliness, aged
about twenty, and while the bird was
hopping about on lis perch Smlthers'
heart was hopping about In his bosoin.
Even before the girl had disappeared
In search of a hammer and nail he
realized that he was close to that state
termed "goneness."
The girl began operations with the
hammer with a great show ol' confi
dence. In her Inuocence she supposed
that a nail could be driven into a brick
as easily as Into a liuuk of putty, -and
she paid for her Innocence by pound
ing her linger. When she uttered a
cute howl of pain and dropped the
hammer to the sidewalk within an
inch of a pedestrian's head and then
stuffed the bruised digit Into her mouth
to suck away the pnln the bachelor
fairly groaued In sympathy. After a
moment she disappeared, but his heart
went with her. The Idea came to him
to run across the street, Introduce him
self and pour out his sympathies, but
after combing his mustache and put
ting on his hat he decided uot to.
However, he set himself to watch
for her reappearance, and, though it
wajj three long hours before he caught
sight of her again with a m hite rag
around her linger, he did not feel that
he had wasted his time. She looked
i across >U him, and he thought he saw
a longing for sympathy In her face,
lie therefore waved his band. It was
in no sens* an act of tlirtation 011 his
part. Ills sympathies went with the
wave. It was the same as If he said,
"Poor little orphan girl, but 1 pity
you." The girl drew back, and Snilth
ers blew her a kiss. Not the slightest
Idea of tllrtlng entered his mind. He
was simply conveying by signs what
he couldn't put Into words and yell
across the street? "Never mind, little
girl, you'll Ix? happy yet."
That afternoon the girl and the Au
ger and the rag walked out together.
So did Snilthers and his sympathetic
heart. . After being charmed with a
view of the young lady's back they
passed lior and were still more charm
ed with a view of her face. That face
was ethcral, tender, affectionate. It
hail the longing look that comes to the
face of a girl left all alone in the j
world and two weeks behind on her j
rent to a hard hearted laudlady. Smith- ;
ers might have found excuse to raise i
his hat and say something about the
weather, but a peanut man pushed his j
cart against his knees and sent him
sprawling, and all romance was driven
out of his soul for the next three or
four minutes.
That same evening as Smlthers sat
by Ills window smoking the same
brand-- and wondering how much he
would have to pay a waiter in a res
taurant to write an ode entitled "The
Sore Fingered Angel" the girl appeared
at her casement. She sat down and
looked up at the starry heavens and
leaned her sore finger on the sill to
rest It. She didn't see Smlthers at
first, but when he thought he detected
tears lu her eyes and a quivering of
her chin he thrust himself forward to
let her know that there was at least
one human being lu this world who
felt for her.
The same raj; and the same finger
nnd the same girl walked out next
day. Smithers was on the watch, and
he walked out too. Nothing was fur
ther from his thoughts thau "mashing"
or flirting. That was something he
had never done in his life. After fol
lowing the girl four or five blocks and
thinking up just what words of sym
pathy to address her with he over
hauled ht> and raised his hat and
was about to get off his little speech
when a' big. lusty fellow without the
least romance In his soul took him
by the scruff of the neck and ad
dressed him for a momeut in words
of fervid eloquence, while the girl
with the s?re linger stood by with a
pleasant and expectant look on her
face. Her expectations were realized
?that Is, Mr. Smithers was shaken till
his teeth bit his tongue. Then he was
made to perform strange antics with
his heels, while his legs would kluk up
and then straigheu out again in a won
derful wajs. Before the big man was
through with him his collar and tie
were torn off. his coat ripped beyond
repair and his hair badly mussed up.
lie could not afterward swear that he
was also kicked and cuffed, but he
felt" reasonably sure of It. What hurt
him more than the kicks and cuffs. If
hn got them, was the pleased and
complacent look on the girl's face dur
ing the continuous performance and
(lie -words of the big man when he
had finished tnvlng:
"There, you weazened faced, lop
si' on 1 tiered son of .1 gun. If you ever
d;ire to look at my wife again I'll
hx>ak your neck like a plpestem!"
Hut Smithers looked again. The
"j !rl" had come closer, and he saw
th :t che was a woman of forty, with
friH'kles on her face and two moles on
her chin, and that there was no look
of longing In her face and no tears of
homesickness ir her eyes.
"Doctor," said Jie as he entered the
office of an occullst an hour later,
"what's the matter with my durned
eyes?" ?
"Why, man," was the reply after an
examination, "you can't tell a white
man from a darky ten feet away!
It's the worst case of near slghtedness
I ever saw." M. QUAD.
Humor and Philosophy
By DUNCAN M. SMITH
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
Whon n woman says, "And that's all
there Is about It," let no man be de
ceived lu thinking that an end has
been made to much talking./
Each mother
thinks she has
the dearest baby
In the world, and,
as a matter of
fact, none Is
cheap.
The tiros of re
senliuentvare, on
ly too apt to be
the precursors of
the ashes of re
pentance.
Some people Rive :*ou a good hand
shake. and others forget to add the
hand.
It Is generally best to keep on good
terms with yourself, oven If you hare
to fall out with people you don't like
to do It.
The girl who spends her time mak
ing angel cake and potato salad In
stead of castles in Spain will do better
execution In after years.
It Is hard to catch the drift of some
people, aud whea.you are succcssful it
is so heavy and waterlogged that It is
of not much account.
There are people who arc too pleas
ant and too courteous to be really
good.
The prevalence of "easy terms" bar
gains proves the plenitude of easy
marks going up and down the land.
Easy Road.
A fellow lias to work like sin
And ncvor stop for play

Living In Hopes.
"I notice that Susie is going wtth the
big, blond German."
"Yes; t hoy seem to be very fund of
each other."
"Are they engaged?"
"She doesn't know, but she hopes
they are. You see. she cannot under

take chances site answers 'Yes' to
every question lie asks."
The Modus Operandi.
A girl.
A HWtrl
Ot smiles and eyes;
A swain ;
It's plain
Her lovo he'd prize.
A laugh;
He's half
Bereft of sense.
They drift;
She's miffed
And says he's denso.
A gulle
Ful smile.
He's in the snare.
A sigh,
Roply?
She lands him fair.
An Improvement,
It was a hot day, aud the Judge' was
tired. The long drawn out trial had
come to au eud, and it became time to
charge the jury. Tl:o Judge was Just
about to begin his weary task when
ho was seized with an Inspiration.
Calling a bailiff, h;> told him to lead
the Jury down to the drug store and
have them charged at Hie soda foun
tain.
It made a great hit with them. p.M
the Jury, much refreshed, retired i >
their room and speedily brought hi n i
intelligent a verdict as though tlto
Judge had talked to them for an hour
How Should He?
"I notice you are keeping company
with Miss ltlchdad."
"I have wet the lady."
"Fine family."
"Yes; they are rather nice people."
"Regular bluestockings, aren't tb?y?"
"Really, I couldn't say," said the
young man, blushing deeply.
Didn't Want to Aggravate It.
"You look as shaky as a woisiouC
dray horse."
"I'm Just about sick abed."
"Why don't you see a doctor?"
"I feel bad enough as It is. He
would charge me money and just fmako
me feel that much worse."
Long Way Round.
"He spent all of his money trying
to get cured of dyspepsia."
"Aud it did hftfi no good?"
"Oh, yes. It did! He 'had to go to
work then, and that cured litnu."
Explained.
"What does It mean when they say
a man had his leg pulled?"
"That he had moro. money thfia
