Pine Nut don't know enough to lift their
hats to a woman ; and as for manners,
one would think that they had never had
mothers." The recollection seemed to
affect Jimmv's eyes and consequently his
nose, as his thoughts went winging back
wards to his boyhood's days, and his
feelings overcame him. Slowly his right
hand sought mechanically his waist

of his bluo woolen shirt and wiped his
eyes. Then he blew his nose, and re
turned his impromptu handkerchief
again to its case.
A SiiihII Fire.
The alarm of fire turned in about !5:30
this morning was caused by a small
blaze starting in the Pacific Corset Fac
tory, corner of Washington and Second.
Night Watchman Wiley discovered the
fire and at once turned in an alarm.
The fire started from a lot of ashes taken
up in a wooden box and left in the room.
Tho floor burned through for a distance
of seven or eight feet. The worst dam
age was done to Van Norden's jewelry
stock, situated directly beneath the fire,
which was filled with cinders and dirt,
and got s thorough dranching on top of
it.
There is a legend that the first brush
wick-e-up built by Adam after he left
the garden of Eden was destroyed by
fire, Eve having carelessly taken tho
ashes up in a soap box on wash day.
Since that time the same thing lias oc
curred many millions of times, but there
are some people that seem to bo incapa
ble of learning that live coals will set
fire to a wooden box. Fortunately the
damage is light, but this is entirely a
matter of good luck.

night, kept by a most estimablo lady
, who had just arrived from "the states."
; It was quite late, the cook and servants
were in bed; but to "Jimmy's" request
; for something to eat she could not turn a
deaf ear, to she placed a lunch in the din
ing room and waited upon him herself.
"Jimmy" was polite as a French danc
ing master, and at once struck up a con
versation. "I suppose," said he, "you
find society quite dltlerent bere from
that you have been accustomed to in the
East." The lady gave assent. "That's
what I miss more than anything else,"
he continued; "I could stand the work,
