Sought to Make an Impression on a Man la Need of Employment Refused
woman who Tried to , j.h t. M.h with th Dn-
Avold Him.
The young man who occupied a seat
on the bench in the comer drug store
seemed well satisfied with himself. He
had pulled his trouser legs well up to
preserve their careful crease and was dis
playing a generous section of gaudy
stockings above his low-cut patent
leather shoes. His hat was pushed to
the back of his head to give full effect
to a parted bang that looped on each
side over his forehead. His turnover
collar pressed well against his chin and
was decorated in the center by a dimin
utive plaid bow. His cuffs were large and
glossy and he seemed conscious of every
one of these details and to approve of
them perfectly, relates the Chicago
Daily News.
Tie had just lighted a cigar at the
swinging gas jet over the counter and
its smoke seemed to annoy the woman
who was also seated on the bench, wait
ing for her car. Perhaps it was the
smoke and perhaps it was the general
effect of the young man.
A puff of smoke floated over to the
woman and she coughedcoughed loud
ly and pointedly but the strene com
placence of the youth was in no wise dis
turbed. He turned around a little
stiffly, because of the collar and the in
dignant look that he received ought to
have been enough for him. It was not.
however, and the woman rose and
walked to the other side of the store.
At that moment the door opened and
a stout elderly woman with several
bundles and three children entered and
made for the bench. The young man
did not move at first, but one of the chil
dren kicked againBt him with her
swinging feet and he shifted a little, re
adjusting his trousers. The action drew
the child's attention to the stockings
and she pointed to them. "See, mam
ma!" she cried.
"Yes," said the matron in loud, cheer
ful tones. "They're pretty, ain't they?
Look at the little red flowers In 'em.
Ain't they sweet? Like sister Maggie's
fancy bag, ain't they?"
The other children slid off their seats
to obtain a better view of the gorgeous
hose. The young man turned a little red.
but continued to smoke. The woman
who had left the. bench seemed pleased
and Interested.
"And see the pretty, thlny ahoea."
continued the stout woman.
The children drew a little closer to
the shoes, and ganed at them In open
mouthed admiration.
It was too much. The young man rose
and.evadingtheeyeof the grinning drug
clerk, left the rtors. As for the woman
who had left the bench, she bought a
lalf-pound box of chocolates and gave
them to the children.

A London preacher had an interesting-
experience not long ago with a hun
gry man. The mendicant explained
that he had found it absolutely impos
sible to yet work, lie had. applied ev
erywhere, always to be turned away,
and at lae nothing- remained for him
but to beg from door to door for the
food that was necessary to keep life in
his body.
The clergyman's heart was filled
with pity. The poor man seemd to be
honest, and after being furnished with
a good meal he was asked whre a mes
faee would reach him. He gave an ad
dress and went away.
Then the Drencher sat down to think
the matter over. He knew of no work
that he could find for the man, but he
decided o invent a job.
Accordingly the next day the preach
er sent a message to the luckless man,
aying:
"Come at once. I have a position
for you. We need a man to clean our
school houss and keep it in order."
He received an immediate reply as
follows:
"Sorry I es n't come. Ihaveo march
with the unemployed to-day Would
to-morrow do?"
