Miss Edith stepped from the c:i
trance of tlio tenement house. Hail
overcome by the reeking odors oi
t lie place she had just left, she lean
ed against the area railing, oblivious
of the chattering, shrieking group
of small children playing in the
gutter across the street.
Presently their shrill shouts at
tracted her attention, and she
watched them intently. They seem
ed to be playing some game. On
the top of a garbage box, standing
at the curb line, sat a wee and dirty
faced boy, attired in a pink under
shirt, a blue calico skirt and a vest
of his father’s, at least twenty sizes
too large for his gaunt little shoul
ders. All about him in the gutter
were gathered a dozen or more lit
tle girls. Each of them was armed
with some instrument of torture.
A majority carried pins and needles,
one or two hairpins and the lender
and largest a long hat pin. They
were “ taking turns" sticking their
respective weapons into the tender
leg of the baby of the garbage can,
“ The little fiends 1” said Miss
Edith aloud and rushed across the
street to stop the torture. As she
came near she heard the girl with
the hat pin cry out, “ I went in de
furderist dat time!”
“ You wicked, wicked children!”
cried Miss Edith. “ What do you
mean by abusing that poor little
child?”
The “ poor little child” on top of
the garbage box looked up at Miss
Edith and grinned complacently
through his dirt. The rest giggled
aggressively.
“ Don’t you know you might lame
him for life?” she demanded.
“ Aw, go an,” said the girl with
the hat pin finally. “ It don’t hurt
him none. He’s got a plasker cask
on his leg. See?”— Chicago Trib

A minister was in the county jail
having a talk with the prisoners.
He is a kind hearted old gentleman,
and he wandered about shaking
hands with the unfortunates, at the
same time giving each a word of
encouragement.
Finally the minister reached the
top tier, and there he found
darky doing some work along the
range. As it was Sunday, ihe min
ister asked him why he was work
ing on that day. The darky re
plied that the work had to he done
and he thought he would do it when
he had a good opportunity.
“ How long will you he here?”
asked the man in ministerial garb.
“ Well, I dunno, boss,” replied the
colored man, continuing his work.
“ Do you think it will be long?”
“ No, I guess not, boss.”
“ Are you serving time for disor
derly conduct?”
The darky drew himself up to
his full height and replied, with
considerable dignity: “ No, sah. I’zc
no common criminal. I ’ze a high
way robber.” — Pittsburg Press.
T a lk .
Talk is the ultimate basis of po
lite society. Money is the main
thing, of course, but only as it talks.
In business or politics talk is a
mere utility; in love, a superfluity.
But in polite society talk rises to
the plane of the Boze arts.
It is a boor who talks when he
has something to say. The true
gentle studies never to have any
thing to say and is thus able to talk
freely all the time without fear of
violating the proprieties.
Only scandal mongers are suffer
ed to talk shop in polite, society.
Talk is cheap, but a couple of

His balloon had gone high enough,
but the wind had carried him a mile

him out. He struck the ground

A crowd quickly gathered about
his prostrate form.
