He receives, there fore, frequent gratuities and is ex ceedingly prosperous. This in spite of tbe fact tbat he has one of tbe greatest capacities for for getting of any one to be met with even among the employees of a boarding house. What, then, is the secret of his repu tation for being a reliable rnanV One boarder has studied the problem and gives the answer: "He never refuses to execute a com mission, is always apparently attentive to any order given him. and wheu the angry boarder blows him up for his failure to do what he was told he takes it meekly and stoically. "He seems such an easy mark that the boarder goes on and on with his abuse until he feels that he has gone too far. Then he grows ashamed of himself and slips James a quarter. "'Thank you. sir,' says James, and they both feel better, and the boarder remarks, 'James is a pretty good boy after ail.' "—New York Herald. Suggestive Criticism. Robert Henri, the noted artist, said at a luncheon in New York: "It isn't wise for a painter to be too frank in his criticisms." I know a very outspoken painter whose little daugh ter called at a f/iend's house and said: " 'Show me your new parlor rug, won't you. please?' o "So with great pride the hostess led the little girl into the drawing room and raised all the blinds so that the light might stream in abundantly upon the gorgeous colors of an expensive Kirmanshah. "The little girl stared down at the rug in silence. Then as she turned away she said in a rather disappointed voice: "'lt doesn't make me sick!'"—Min neapolis Journal. Not Intended. He was a budding author, and his wife, determined that his train of thought should not be trammeled by domestic worries, said to the new maid: "Now, Jane. If you want anything always come to me. Never go to Mr. Bookmaker unless 1 am out." A few days later there was a knock at Mr. Bookmaker's study door, and in reply to the usual "Come!" the new maid, fresh and pretty, appeared. "Please, sir." she said. "Mrs. Book maker said I was never to disturb you unless she was out:'' "Well?" said Mr. Bookmaker inquir ingly. "She's out. sir."—Lippineott's Maga zine. On the Opening of the Oyster. To open aii oyster properly requires (a) knack; (bi a strong wrist, and (c> an oyster knife. It is useless to try to open an oyster with prayer. And even the most experienced poker player can not open one with a pair of jacks. Can openers and cold chisels are equally ineffective. And to try gelignite would be simply to make oneself look foolish Therefore, the best thing to do—you having made sure that the brown bread and butter and the lemon are handy- Is to ask Charles to open you a couple of dozen.—London Globe. Wasted His Time. "How is your boy getting along since he graduated?" inquired the Wood street man. The Smithfield street man sighed. "Poorly." said he. "That boy was too frivolous at college." "Wouldn't study, eh?" "Didn't go in for the right things. Went in for rowing instead of baseball. What chance has he to get on a fat salary roll?"— Pittsburgh Post. A Distinction. "Yes." said the determined looking woman. "I might manage to hand you a bite to eat if you'll saw and chop a good pile of stove wood and bring in a few buckets of water and chop the weeds out of the garden and fix up the fence."

"Mabel's graduating essay consisted of a thesis on the theory of throwing the spitball. Nobody ever thought ten years ago that a girl could do any thing like that."—Kansas City Journal. Perhaps He Had Forgotten. "What 1 object to about baseball." said the other man. "is its intense an tagonisms. its bitterness and its vio lent language."

Land of the Automat. Germany might almost be called "the land of the automat." Automatic de vices of all kinds are popular and are used for a thousand purposes. At all postoffices stamps and post cards are sold by automatic machines; at the railway stations platform tickets and suburban tickets are sold by automats; automat restaurants, where one can se cure a glass of beer, wine or liquor, a sandwich, square meal, cup of coffee, chocolate, etc., by dropping a coin in the slot, abound everywhere. Every city of 15,000 or 20,000 population and over has from one to several hundred such restaurants. At railway stations automata sell chocolate, candy, picture post cards and even a little kit of "first aid to the injured" containing a few drops of pain killer, bandages, needle, thread, etc. Ten pfennigs in a slot opens the door of toilet compartments, delivering a towel or piece of soap. A coin in a slot obtains a cigar, a tune from a mechanical music box. a pair of shoe strings, a collar button, a visit ing card, name plate for suit case, tells one's fortune or weight, etc. —United States Consular Report.

The river bed is to be straightened and Lima's entire water front altered Rock lined bottoms will be blasted, and the stream, which hith erto has been an eyesore to the city, will be converted into a pretty inland park lined waterway. An Inspiring Experience. A lady who must certainly have been related to the late Mrs. Partington re cently returned from a seventy day tour of Europe.
