left young mother gasping
Mr*. O’Leary’s Well-Meant Word* af
Compassion Contained a Meaning
That Shocked.
There are still two opinions con
cerning red hair She was a very
proud young mother. All the old mas
ters had never painted such a bam
bino, had never imagined such a cher
ub as hers. Quite simply she be
lieved it. And the baby’s hair was red
It did not occur to her that red hair
was anything but completely and whoL
ly admirable. The little shining cop
per colored head seemed to her the
sum of all that was radiant and love
ly
‘‘I’ve come for the baby’s wash,
ma’am.”
It was Mrs. O'Leary, the washer
woman,—a raw boned, dejected soul—
who spoke. Evidently there was for
her no inexpressible glory shining
amid the blue and white draperies of
a bassinet. How hard the world was
on some women! So thought the
young mother and proudly drew back
the cover from the baby’s nest.
“Come and look at my little daugh
ter,” she said. “See, she has red
hair."
A flash of some strong feeling—
could it be compassion?—illumined
the dejected features of Mrs. O'Leary.
The proud young mother felt her
hand gripped in a grasp of Iron, and
a warm Irish voice sounded in her
ears.
“There, there," It said soothingly
“Don’t you fret. Don’t you fret You
can’t never tell w-hat they look like
when they’re small. Some of em
grows up into real good lookin' girts.
They do that!"
LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS
Some Truth In Assertion That Prt»
ent Generation Consider* Too
Many “Wants" as "Needs."
A woman who has been observing
people and things has come to the
conclusion that the expense of living
today i3 largely due to individual in ,
dulgence. People want so much
more than they formerly did, or at
any rate, if they wanted it before
they often did without it, for expo
Slency’s sake; but now, she says, to
want and to have go hand In hand
without regard for expediency. Thi*
woman says: “My idea of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost ol
living Is that people are not temper
ate in supplying their three principal
wants, namely: food, clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over
abundance on clothing. Others in
dulge themselves in rich foods that
are absolutely unnecessary. Still
others like to live in fashionable
quarters and neglect their food and
shelter. A person to be happy must
preserve a balance in all things. One
must be temperate with regard to
food, clothing and shelter. Live in a
respectable but not ultra-fashionabts
neighborhood; wear standard clothes,
not the latest Paris fashions; eat
good, substantial food, not rich, tasty
delicacies that cater only to the pal
ate, is my parting advice."
Yes, She Probably Would.
"Does anybody ever kick you to
the nose?" said the ass.
"Aye, does th re," said the spider;
"you and your like that are always
walking on me, or lying down on me,
or inning over me.”
", ell, why don’t you stay on the
wall?" said the ass.
“Sure, my wife is there," replied the
spider.
"What’s the harm In that?" said
the ass.
“She’d eat me," said the spider.
"Have you got a wife yourself now?"
"I have not," said the ass. "I wish I
had."
"That’s a bachelor's talk." said the
spider; “all the same, we can't keep
away from them."
"If your wife was an ass sba
wouldn't eat you," said the asa.
"She’d be doing something e(se.
then,” replied the spider.—From
James Stephens “The Crock of Gold.*
That Vacant Chair.
Perhaps It is more sad when x chair
Is vacant in life than in death. Men
make a feast. Many who might belong
at the table are not there. Death has
not claimed them. What the world
votes to be failures has kept them
away. In the race as it is run they are
the laggards. Perhaps, in our reckon
lag they will never win. Had you
noticed how in the next generation
their children almost always arrive?
The poor man’s son 1^ the rich man
of tomorrow and the children of “fail
ures" are the country’s future succes*
es. There Is an ebb and flow of for
tune which must "tirely reconcile us
all to the rhythm of being. Who dares
estimate life by a single generation?

Story of Hohenzollsm Ghost.
It was a Prussian royal wedding of
four centuries ago that gave to the
tradition of the “white lady," the fa
mous Hohenzollern ghost. The Bar
grave Albert loved a young widow of
tho house of Orlamunde, but once
thoughtlessly remarked that thetr wed
Ilng would be “impossible until four
ayes are out of the way." He allured
to his uncle and brother, but she
thought he meant her two little chil
Iren, whom she accordingly murdered
irlth a knitting needle. The horrified
Ubert forsook hei asd married So
phia of Henneberg, whereupon the err
ng widow, want nutd, died and ever
liaoa has haunted the royal palaoas
