"I'm an old man," he said slowly,
'and I've lived a long time longer than
BMatBtan Wtpo have lived as 1 ug as I
have, fur ther- 's nughty little in this
world that I oughtn't Id know that I
don't know, but there is oue thing 1
don't know and I've been trying to
learn it for iftj years, more or less.''
"What's that?" interrogated tiauialiel,
who whs but yet a beginner.
"Well, my son, its this: I don't
kn rW, and 1 don't believe 1 ever shall.
. h . it is t 'uit v. hen u man gets home at
S o'clock in the morning and finds he
hasn't his night key in his pockat he

hooji and keep on doing it for thret
tpiarters of an hour or more before he
wakes anylx-dy in the house; bat if he
pts thereat :t in the m 'r::in a. id has
his night ke' in his pocket and slips
it into the tock as still as a mouse
and turns it without a creak, and creeps
upstairs in his sock feet as still at a eat,
and geti. into his ro--m as noiseless as
the stars go to rest, he not only wakes
aphis wife, but next morning ware
body in the h. use is askiug him what
he means by coining in at that hour of
the night, and if he must come in then,
wh' doesn't he make less racket and
not disturb the whole country."
The old man. in an excess of emo
tion, gasped once or twice and began
to mop his brow.
'! i.at's what I don't know, young
man." he went on, "and I'd like to live
until yoa have lived just as long as 1
have, to see if yoa can find out, but I
don't really believe you ever will."
"I'll try." briefly remarked Gamaliel,
nnd those who know Gamaliel have a
sublime confidence that he has made a
noble beginning. J)etroit Free Press.
WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Mrs. Stanley is not by any means the
only fair canvasser in England who i:

of the voters f r her husband. There it
a certain crood conservative, CoL .
whose wife has been making variou
"friendly" calls among the cottagers o!
his district. She always expresses her
regret that the colonel cannot accom
pany her on these neighborly calls, but
says that ha Ml so pressed with Work
that he cannot, and that she desires P
leave his card. On one of these visit?
the brawny son of toil to whom the re
mark was Blade replied in heavy and
unnii-dukable language that since the
call was a merely friendly one, he
would be ph ased to return it at lirimm
ford manor, the candidate's residence.
Hut the experience of the colonel's wife
was Bkild in comparison with that of .
daughter ol a veteran ! ry in the north
A poor woman in the neighborhood h:t.
occasion to ask for a hospital ticket,
nnd being unacquainted with the ways
of aDUeiting the want to the candidate's
front door to apply. The maid bade
her wait and finally returned, saying
that Miai would ate her at the
bach door. The young ludy w:is in 11
gra-'i' iis and bes towed the ticket, bu1
addtd that one should never come b
thd front door to beg. A day or tWi
later the charming young laily knock .:
at a certain cottage, and. with th--most
winning of smiles, solicited a -for
her father. The woman who eam
to the door replied: "Well, miss, e
