A GOOD DAY FOR BEANS.
Wbj Voting Man Sympathize with
the llaker'i Wife.
"How much do you bhIc for beanaf
inquired a wm all boy of the baker's
wife.
"Twenty cents a pan; give you
back five cents when you return the
pan," answered the woman without
looking up from tho squashy matter
that she was stuffing into cream cake
tihcllH. It took her about half a seo
imd to make her answer.
The boy had hardly gone before
young woman in a blazer suit came
in.
"WiU you please tell me," said
thia woman, "the price of jour
beans?"
"Twenty cents a pan; give you
back five centa when you return tho
pan." answered the baker'a wife 3
the scooped a heaping spoonful of
slufih aud drove it spitefully into one
of the shells.
"What's them beans worth T de
manded a hungry looking man, whose
appearance indicated that he was in
th furniture van business.
"Twenty cents a pan; give you
back five cents when you return the
pan," answered the baker's wife.
"Good morning, madam," said an
old chap with a white choker; "beau
tiful day, madam."
"Yes," said the baker's wife, "nice
air today."
"Kind of air to give a man an
appetite," suggested the parson.
"Yes, I should think so," assented
the baker's wife.
The old man looked about the store
a minute, and then going up in front
of the baker's wife he asked, "Mad
am, will yoa kindly tell me the
price of those appetizing beans in the
window?"
A 6hade of sadness passed over the
fair face of the baker's wife, but she
answered as before, and without a
sedbnd's loss of time, "Twenty cents
a pan ; give you back five cents when
you return the pan."
"I should think you'd go crazy over
those blamed beans," said a young
man who was having coffee and cakes
at a little table in the rear of the shop.
"What's that?" demanded the bak
er's wife sharply.
"I said that I should go crazy if I
had to fool with those old beans as
you dQ," said the young man,
"So would I if it kept uplike
this aU the time," the baker's wife
said. "But it don't. Beans go in
Btreaks just as everything else does.
I may not have another inquiry for
beans this whole forenoon."
She had though. Before the young
man had finished paying for the coffee
and cakes a tall, lank creature, in a
faded calico wrapper, had been there
asking, "How much's your beans?"
and the baker's wife had told her:
"Twenty cents a pan; give you
back five cents when you return the
pan." New York Times.
The Sallora Memory.
A grizzled old seadog Bat on the
Btringpiece of a Delaware avenue
wharf one evening recently and dis
coursed wisely upon maritime top
ics. "Pilots have kind o' one sided
kind o' memories," he said. "You
know they get paid so much per foot
draft, and so when they pick up a
nice big deep water vessel with a
full cargo why she pays 'em hand
some. And yet they hardly ever re
member the names of the vessels
they take up and down the river and
bay, and you'll hear 'em yamin to
gether and talkin about 'that 11-foot
brig or that 15-foot 6-inch ship
or that four masted schooner the
the the, oh, hang it, the one that
drew about twenty-one foot and
steered so all fired hard.
"Why, I know one old pilot wholl
spin good yarns all day long and all
Dight right on top of that, and tell of
what happened to him on fifty ves
sels, from sloop yachts to whalin big
clipper ships, and he'll never men
tion 'em by any mark except what
water they drew when he had 'em in
charge. Pilots is mighty important
men, but their memories is awful
warped for names." Philadelphia

been feeding on the mice, or field
voles, with which our pastures are
plagued. A Moffat lady who had
got a present of trout from a friend
living near Evan water was the other
day surprised to hear her domestic
scream, and on inquiring the cause
found it was due to the presence of a
vole in the stomach of a half pound
trout. A gentleman angling in Mof
fat water caught a pound trout nea
Bodesback, and on cutting up the
fish found a whole vole in its stom
ach. The voles run to the streams
in dry weather, and many of them
are drowned. It will be strange if
the trout has to be classed with the
hawk, the owl and the weasel as a
'natural enemy." Dumfries Courier
