"It's hard on a follaw, I do declare t" Said Tommy ono day, with a pout; "In eTerjr ono of the suits I wear Tho pockets are most worn out. They're 'bout as biz as the ear of a mole, And I nover hare more than throe; And there's always coming; a mean little hole That loses my knife for me. "I can't make 'em hold but a few little things Some cookies, on apple or two, A knife and pencil and bunch of strings, Some nails and maybe a screw, And marbles, of course, and a top and ball, And shells and pebbles and such. And some odds and ends yes, honest, that's all I You can see for yourself 'tisn't much. "I'd like a suit of some patent kind, With pockets made wide and long; Above and below and before and behind, Sewed extra heavy and strong. I'd want about a dozes or so, All easy and quick to set at; And I should be perfectly happy, I know. With a handy rle like that." Eudora S. Bumstead is St. Nicholas. JUT.. 'Tvo last my pepper pot1 said Deb orah, looking sharply about the kitchen. "I wonder if you've been up to any of your tricks, Jim?" Jim gav no answer except a toss of tho head as he slowly walked across the kitchen, but Deborah's quick ears caught a littlo chuclde aa he went out tho door. 'Til give it to you Bomi day, you young rascal, if you carry away my things!" went on Deborah, shaking her fist at the little fellow. "Whaf6 the matter, Deborah?' asked her mistress, coming into the kitchen. "Oh, it's that Jim! He's always up to mischief. It comes nateral to that gypsyish sort to be tricky and sneaky, and thero's no such thing as gettin 'em out of it." ' "If it's natural to them we ought to make somo allowance for it," said Mrs. Graham, with n milo, as sh& helped Deborah' io hunt for the missing pepper pot. "No use a-harborin' such, seems to me," said Deborah. "May ho so," said Mrs. Graham, "but none of us somehow seems to have tho heart to drive him away." "I have," said Deborah very decid edly. "Look-a-there now a everlastin' tease!" The two watched Jim as with a roguish twinkle in his small black eyes ho made lm way to where old Carlo as taking his morning nap under the lilac bush and gave him a 6udden poke. The dog raibed his head with a growl, hut Jim stood at a littlo distance, with a grave and innosent look at something on the ground. Carlo settled down again, and quick as lightning Jim gave him another poke. Up jumped Carlo, with a savage look at his tormentor, hut Jim stood in tho same place, half asleep, and Carlo lay down with a long drawn sigh. Jim kept it up until tho poor dog went to find a quieter place. 'Tvo seen him do that a dozen times," said Deborah laughing, "and I know he's hidden my popper pot Why, it ain't 60 long since I read a story about one o' that Bot must 'a' been first cousin to Jim I reckon that stolo a elegant breastpin, and it was laid to a poor young girl that worked in the family. She was disgraced and turned off, and Bver so long after it was found out that that creetur'd been tho thief. I've no use for such!" And so every member of the family could havo dechired, but no one would bo the one to 6ay that Jim must go. In tho courso of a long drive over country roads through a heavy storm tho farmer had found Jim drenched and half starved. Of course he brought him home, and after being warmed fed and made comfortable tho wild eyed, dark looking littlo vagabond had wisely set tled himself in such good quarters, and had since showed no desire to leave them. "You can como and help mo peel the peachos now, Marian!" called Mrs. Gra ham to her daughter. Marian came, loolring admiringly at the baskets of rosy cheeked, downy fruit on the great table, all of which was wait ing to bo made into peach buttor. "Is that your jwail ring?" asked her mother. "Oh yos. I was clearing my drawer and put it on to seo how pretty it looks and forgot it I'll tako it off." The protty lassio worked for hours over the peaches, paring, stoning, meaa tiring out eugar, stirring and tasting. At length she skipped up to her room to dross, but soon came running back with an anxious face. "My ring, Deborah! I left it on the corner of tho table hack here. Have you 6oen it?" "The land, Miss Marian! No, I ain't And I've just this blessed minute scraped up all tho peolin's and flung 'em out to the pigs." With tears in her eyes Marian ran out to tho lot m whicli the pigs wero kept, and searched eagerly. But tho grunters had made quick work of their luscious meal, and no ring was to be found. Moro slowly she went back, and looked about tho kitchen with a forlorn hope that tho ring might havo escaped. But Deborah's scraping had been vigor ous, and she went upstairs again with a woebegone look. "She's a dreadful careless littlo piece," paid Deborah, looking after her, "always h-leavin' her things 'round. But 1 ain't R-goin' to say it to her now she's a-feelin' Bo bad." "Ha, ha you thievin rascal! I've caught you at last, ain't D" Mrs. Graham and Marian hurried out at sound of Deborah's excited voice to see Jim struggling in her grasp. He was uttering short, angry cries and do ing his best to free himself. "I was justa-washin' my dishes," cried Deborah, "when this limb comes a-peek-in' and a-pryiu' 'round. 1 mistrusted ho was up to somethin', an' 1 kep' my eye on him and seen him pick up ono o' my teaspoons and enenk off with it I took after him, and just got hold o' him right hero see? Ho was just a-slippin' that Epoon into that hole fer to hids it!" Mrs. Graham looked curiously at the hole, a small ono near tno ground in mo weather boarding of the spring house. "Bring an ax and knock that off, Dob rab," sho said. Deborah did so and ths three bent ovur what they saw. 'Tin blessed if thtere ain't my pepper pot!" exclaimed Doborah. Moro than the pepper pot was there. Keys, nnils, ocrews, a button hook, a gunle?. and as they turned thorn over Marian gave tcici ui delight and snatched up her pearl ring. Then she made a quick rush for Jim, and hugged and fondled him until he bit her to moke her let him go, when he flew to tho top of the spring house, and stood there chattering his discontent at such rough handling. "You dear old crow!" exclaimed Marian. "If you hadn't stolen my ring off the table that day I never should have 6een it again. Oh, Deborah, you have pulled out half his tail feathers!" "Never mind," said Deborah; "they'll grow again." Sydney Dayre in Youth's Companion. Costly War Implements. Tens of thousands of pounds of capital have to be sunk ere a single 111 ton gun can bo manufactured. A particular reason for its being costly to make is that its uroduction consumes a great amount of time. To build such a gun takes as long as to build a first class cruiser. Yet another reason lies in the fact that thero are many and inevitable failures, which entail great waste of labor, if not of ma terial The 111 ton guns, without their mount ings, cannot be produced or sold to the government for much less than 15,000 apiece, tho 67 ton guns for less than about 10,800 or the 45 ton guns for less than 0,300, and the expense of firing these gnus, apart from tho wear and tear of the weapons, mouutings and ships, may bo judged from the amount of pow der and the weight of projectile used. In the case of tho 111 ton gun the full powder charge is 080 pounds of slow burning cocoa or &0 pounds of West phalian brown prism, and the projectile weighs 1,800 pounds. In the case of tho G7 ton gun the full powder charge of slow burning cocoa is 030 pounds, while the projectile is of 1,250 pounds weight In the case of the 45 ton gun the full charge of brown prismatic powder is 295 pounds, and the projectile weighs 714 pounds. The esti mated cost of one round from the largest gun is about S0,'from the second about 50 and from the smallest about 30; but tliis is the cost of powder, cartridge and projectile only. London Tit-Bits. HE VANTED THE EARTH. A San Francisco Butcher Who Let a For tune Slip Through His Grasp. For a Li g time after the bonanza ex citement the stock market in San Fran cisco remained quiet and inactive. More or less trading was done in Comstocfr shares, of course, but the market as a whole was quietly settling down to what appeared a "bedrock" basis. The Sierra Nevada and Union Consoli dated mines at the northern end of the Corastock group wer at this time par ticularly inactive, the former selling as low as fifty cents a share. Rumors, how ever, began to circulate about tliis time of a "strike" in the north end mines, and Sierra Nevada and Union began to climb upward. John Powers, a butcher, owned at the time of which I speak a binall shop at tho corner of Hayes street and Van Ness ave tme, and he somehow became imbued with the idea that there was more money to be made at stock speculation than in tho butcher business. Acting upon thi3 idea Powers, by mortgaging his business and borrowing what money ho could, scraped together a few thousand dollars, which ho deposited in the office of a Pino street brokerage firm. He wasn't particular, he said,as to what stock ho bhould buy, and finally settled on Sierra Nevada as being a good pur chase, leaving instructions with his brok ers to buy 100 shares for his account. This was done, and Powers was duly credited with the stock, for which had been paid 21 n shave. Meanwhile the rumors came pouring in from Virginia City about the great north end strike, and Sierra Nevada be gan to fairly jump forward, until it was quoted at $175. This would have satis fied any ordinary man, but not so Pow ers. Instead of selling ho gavo orders to buy more stock. In the course of the nrxt two weeks Sierra Nevada had readied $250 per share, and Powors, with 300 shares to his credit, was in debt to his brokers about 40,000. He could havo realized at this point a clear profit of over ?15, 000. His brokers begged him to sell, but Powers was obdurate. He was after a million, he said, and as long as his mar gins remained good the brokers remained satisfied. Powers then sold out his business en tirely and put up tho proceeds as addi tional margin. He began to look up fa vorable building sites for tho residence he intended to put up that, ho asserted, would "beat them 'nob heal' affairs all holler." Having, like a skyrocket, reached its highest point, Sierra Nevada now began to como down, at first slowly and then more rapidly oven than it went up. Powers had gone to tho country for a few days to look at a ranch he had in tended purchasing. His brokers had wired him to return, and ho had sup posed that it was because his stock had reached the $1,009 lim't, at which figure ho had left orders to sell. It was with a very joyous countenance that he greeted his broker, whom he met on tho street. "Well," said Powers, "havo you sold the stock?"' "Oh, yes," said the broker, "we had to. You see it began to fall, and to protect ourselves wo had to let it all go at 140, and you now owe us $750, which I hopo you can settle." "What?" fairly gasped tho astonished Powers. "Let it go at 140? And you say Tin in debt?" "Yes," replied the broker; "we told you to sell, but you wanted the earth, and I guess youll have to go back to your trade." When it finally dawnocl on Powors that the broker really spoke the truth he was almost overcome with grief and disap pointment He rallied, however, and if any one now wants a choice steak "Johnny" Powera. who works for a large market concern on Pine street, is just tho man to go to. He will probably tell yon that he ought to be and might have been a millionaire, but the quality of the meat will bo good just the hame. New York Herald. A Slllllonaire's Small Wages.

"I wouldn't have believed it of you, Rachel," said Mrs. Edmonstono plain tively. "No, I wouldn't, not unless Betsy Tacker. the manty maker, had told me; and Betsy she never told a lio no more than George Washington did." "Why, mother, what are you talking about?"' questioned Mrs. Thomas Edmon stono, untying the elder lady's bonnet strings and relieving her of a splint bas ket, a black silk bag, a waterproof cloak and an umbrella. "And I've como to see if it's true," added the old lady. "If what's true, mother?" "That you said you wished thero wasn't no such person as mmel" falter ed Mrs. Edmonstone. "Mother, you know I never could havo said such a thing," cried out Rachel. "Well, it wasn't quito exactly that; but Betsy Tacker sho heard you say j-ou wished there wasn't no such thing as a mother-in-law." "Oh!" cried Rachel, with a hysterical little laugh, "I plead guilty. I did say that But oh, motherl it was under Buch strong provocation, and 1 never meant you. How could I, when you havo always always been so good to me?" "I knew it couldn't be true," said Mrs. Edmonstone, setting herself in the easi est rocking chair and nodding her cap strings comfortably. "But how came you to make that as-tra-or-dinary speech, Rachel, about mothers-in-law in gen eral?" "It was Tom," said the young wife. "Ho was so aggravating!" "Thomas always was aggravating," said Mrs. Edmonstone, stirring the cup of tea that Rachel had brought her. "And what was it about now? Tho brealrfast cakes?" "Oh, you remember about tha break fast cakes, don't you?" said Rachel, with merry mischief nparkling in her eyes. "No, it wasn't the breakfast cakes this time; it was the shirts." "Tho shirts!" "Well, you know he said it was such a wasteful, extravagant proceeding to buy shirts ready made," explained RacheL "He said tho linen wns poor, and tho work regular slop shop style, and he declared you always used to mako his shirts at home, every stitch, before he was married." "So I did," acknowledged Mrs. Ed monstone, with a groan. "But that was in the old times, before you could buy such a good article as they have now." "Yes, but Tom don't make any allow ance for difference m times and cus toms," sighed RacheL "Ho wanted home made shirts, and home made shirts ho would have!" "And you made 'era?' "Ye3, 1 made xhem." "You wero a great goose," reflectively spoko Mrs. Edmonstone. "And and Tom swore dreadfully the first one ho put on" "1 don't in tho lea3t doubt it." "And he said they cet like meal bags, and that they twisted his neck around as if ho had just been hanged, and grasped him on tho shoulders like a po liceman! Oh, 1 can't tell you what he didn't say!" "Bless me!" said Mrs. Edmonstone. "Ho told me his mother's shirts set like a glove, and fitted him perfectly and why couldn't 1 turn out a shirt like those? And it was then, mother dear," suddenly flinging her arms around the old lady's plump, comfortable neck, "that 1 lost my head, and told him I wished there wasn't such a thing as a mother-in-law in tho world! And Betsy Tacker sat in tho sewing room altering over my dolman in the spring style, and I suppose she must havo heard me." "Don't mind it, my dear," said Mrs. Edmonstono. "No. i won't." protested Rachel. "But, oh. those shirts! Tvo been rip ping them apart and sowing them to gether again, and rounding off a gusset here and taking in a plait there, until I've got bo that I dream of 'em at night, and the more 1 try 'em on the worse they fit, and the more unreasonable Tom becomes. 'My mother never made such work of it as tliis!' says he." "Thomas forgets." observed Mrs. Ed monstono eovcrely. "And I'm sure if things go on like this," added Rachel, pushing her short brown curls off her forehead, "it'll end in a separation on account of 'incom patibility of temper.' " "No, it won't, ray dear," said the mother-in-law. Here, get me the pattern and some thirting muslin and a pair of scissors." "What are you going to do, mother?" eagerly questioned RacheL "Fm going to make Tom a shirt. But don't you tell him, RacheL We'll see whether it's Tom or the pattern that h&3 altered." Once more the mischevious light came into Rachel's bright blue eyes. "I wish all the world was mother-in-laws." she cried gleefully. "Why, why didn't 1 think of this before?' "One can't think of everything, child." Eaid Mrs. Edmonstone consolingly. Thomas Emondstone welcomed bis mo ther cordially when he came home from business. Tm eo glad you've come," said he. "Wo can havs some of tho nice old fash ioned dishes now. Rachel can't swm t get the hang of thrn, although shh1 always had your book of recipes to jrcid her." "Rachel's a good deal better cook t'or ever I pretended to be," said Mrs. EC monstone. "They have patent eeg beat ers and cream whippers and raisin seed ers, and all that sort of thing, now that they didn't have ia my day. I never tasted nicer bread than Rachel makes, and these pepovers aro just delirious." "You're just faying that to encourage Rachel," said Mr. Edmonstone, with an incredulous sinil "Things will run smooth now you've corse. Tktta one I comfort," "Oil.

"Do let Tom havo a reminiscence of the old days while you are here." "Well, just as you children say," con ceded the mother-in-law good humor edly. Sho remained a week at her son's house, during which period of time Tom was all exultant compkicency. "This," said he, "is something like living. I feel myself a boy again when I taste these apple fritters." "Iheyro not bad, said Rachel, who had made them with her own skillful hands. And sho helped herself to a lit tle of the sauce. "And why don't you learn my moth sr's knack of making such pie crust as this?' demanded Tom. "There is no dyspepsia here!" "I'm glad you're pleased." said Rachel, with a guilty glance at her mother-in-law. "Oh, by the way, Tom, the last of the set of shirts is finished now. Will you put it on to-morrow?" "I suppose so," ungraciously uttered Tom. "Will set like fury, 1 dare say, like all the rest of them!" "You might at least give it a trial." "Didn't I say I would?" still moro un graciously. "Those shirts will bo tho death of me yet," he added turning to his mother with & groan, while Rachel sat steadily observing the pattern of the table cloth. Tho breakfast sat smoking on the ta-' ble next morning when Mr. Edmonstone came into the room twisting himself as if ho were practicing to bo a human corkscrew. Mrs. Edmonstono glanced timidly up at him. "Don't it fit, Tom?' sho questioned. "Fit! Just look nt it. will yon?' he re torted. "Fit! Hangs like a window cur tain around my neck pinches my wrists like a pair of handcuffs! I feel as if I were in a strait jacket" writhing im patiently to and fro. "Oh, I might havo known it beforehand you haven't an idea what the word fit means. I wish, mother.you could teach this wife of mine how to mako a decent phirt!" "Thomas." said Mis. Edmonstono solemnly, transfixing him with the glistening spheres of her spectacle glasses, "voure not very polite. I made that shirt"" "You, mother!" "Yes, 1 myself. Just as I used to mako shirts for you in the olden time? that you'ro always sighing after. I've been working at it ever sinco I've been in the house. Throw away the pattern, Rachel, and don't waste any more time trying to make your husband's shirts," she added. "It's an economy of time and temper, as well as of money, to buy them ready made. It's Tom that's in fault, not tho work. And as for the cooking you've been praising np so elo quently all tho time I've been here, I haven't touched a pot or a pan. It's all her your wife's -work So much for imagination. Oh, jrou needn't hang your head so sheepishly j'ou'ro neither better nor worse than other men," went on Mrs. Edmonstone. "And I never Eaw the man yet that didn't need to hear a wholesome truth now and then. You've got the beat and sweetest littlo wife in the world." "Mother," pleaded Rachel, trying to put her hand over the old lady's mouth, but Mrs. Edmonstono resolutely per sisted. "And it's my advice to you to try and treat her as sho deserves "' "1 I don't know but that I have been rather cranky of late." said Tom self consciouslv, "now that I come to think of it." "Crank! I should think so," said tho old lad-. "I'm sure I don't know what the world's coming to. Here's little Georgy toddling around with his wooden cart The first you know ho'll be telling his wife about tho wonderful successes his mother used to make in this, and that, and tho other thing. Wo'vo all got to come to it." "And Georgy '11 be right," said Tom, who after all had a magnanimous streak through him. "What a crab I've been all this time. Hang the homo made shirts! I'll buy 'em out of tho store next time! Kiss me. Rachel and you, too, mother! Aiid be sure you let me have a dish of scalloped oysters when I come home to dinner." The oysters Rachel cooked. He ate his breakfast and departed. And when he was gone young Mrs. Ed monstone looked with shining eyes at old Mrs. Edmonstone. "Oh, what a nice thing to have a mother-in-law!" said she fervently.
