Embarrassing.
A superintendent of a Sunday school
relates the following true incident:
The title of the lesson was, "The
rich young man, and the golden text,
"One thing thou lackest."
A lady teacher in the primary class
asked a little tot to repeat the two
and, looking earnestly in the teacher's
face, the child unblushingly told her
" One thing thou lackest—a rich young
man."
A Fair Offer.
"Tommy," said the economical
mother to the boy with the loese
tooth, "I'll give you ten cents if you'll
let me pull that tooth."
The boy thought it over and then
went to his bank.
"The fun of doin* that is worth
more'n ten cents," he said. "I'll give
you fifteen if you'll let me pull one of
yo'urs."

How He Looked at It.
"Yes," said the author, "I got seven
letters complimenting me on that one
short story."
"That must have made you feel
proud."
"It didn't."
"What did it do?"
*Why, it only made me feel that I
didn't get enough for it when I sold
It."
His Curiosity.
"Does your wife work hard?"
"Well, she seems to, but I've always
been curious to know what she does
when I'm not home."
"Why?"
"Because when Ijim home she dust
every blamed room that I get comfort-
able in, and I can't think what 'here
is left to keep her busy."
Not His Usual Line.
Mr. Selph—She thought I was rather
severe, She said she didn't think
it was like me to talk of others so.
Miss Bitter—And it wasn't like you,
either.
Mr. Selph—Think not?
Miss Bitter—No; you generally talk
about yourself.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Ambition.
Too Early for Hirti.
'The conditions seem to be unfavor-
able," admitted the trance medium. "I
am unable to get any communication
from your late husband."
"Well, I'm not at all surprised," re-
plied the widow. "It's only 9 o'clock
now and John never <Jid show up till
about 2 a. m."
What He Is Giving Up.
"Are you giving up anything during
Lent?"
"Yes."
"What?"
''All my change every Sunday morn-
ing to help the children make their
Sunday school pledges good."
Some luxuries this life affords
Which few can understand:
His t;old one person fiercely hoards.
Another seeks command.
But he who most, since earth began.
Has been beneath the sway
Of one idea, is the man
Who wants to have his cay.
He gives small thought to raiment fine,
Nor asks where he shall sleep,
For Providcnce. he cloth opine,
A special watch should keep
O'er him. He hurries forth to rpeak,
Or writes both night and day,
No other pleasure does he seek—
He wants to have his say.
Perchance the hearth is dark and chill,
Perchance his coat is thin;
Perchance the larder fares but ill,
And coal forsakes the bin-
He still will scorn the marts where gain
Directs the toiler's way.
He smiles at hunger and at pain.
For he has had his say.
And if mankind should hear his word.
With feeling so intense
That earth to tumult would be stirred,
And deeds of violence.
He'll sit upon some burnt out pyre*
And sigh, without dismay—
"It isn't quite what I <!esi"e,
"But 1 have had my say!"
A Movable Feast.
Boarder—Why in creation did you
ring the breakfast bell at 4 o'clock
this morning?
Cook—The jpiHjxess heard it thun-
dering and told to hurry up and
serve breakfast before the milk
soured.—New York Weekly.
Dorothy's Dilemma

It was the Dominie's turn to tell a
story. "Or you can sing a song if
you prefer," suggested the Judge with
a suave air.
"Or I dare say you would accept a
cake-walk," returned the Dominie, as
he arched his eyebrows and looked
around at the company.
"We'd prefer it," said the Colonel
promptly. "I'll touch up the piano
with a little ragtime."
"I refuse to gratify your scandal-
ous wishes," replied the Dominie
stoutly. "I'll not enly tell a story, but
I'll see that there is a moral tacked
on as becomes one of my cloth."
"Can't you give us the moral first,
then we won't have to be dreading
it?" asked the Judge.
"Yes, I'm willing to do that. The
moral is: Beware of selfishness, lest
you be hoist with your own lyddite
shell. It all happened up at my town
last fall. There's a widow living
there who has three daughters, very
estimable young ladies, but, alas, the
two older are* exceedingly selfish.
They are both somewhat farther along
in life than the average unmarried
woman—I don't know how old they
are—I hope I'm too much of a gentle-
man to know anything about a lady's
age—but just for the sake of the
story we'll call one of them slightly
over thirty and the other slightly un-
der. The third daughter I'm willing to
come out boldly and call twenty—
we're on safer ground when we get
down in that neighborhood, you know.
And better yet, this girl is one of the
most unselfish creatures in the world.
She is, in fact, a most charming girl
in every way, with a pretty face and a
quiet, unassuming manner which
never fails to win with its simple
charm. If she has any failing it is
that of too great humility and an in-
clination to allow herself to be im-
posed upon. But probably this has
been brought about largely by her be-
ing constantly domineered over by her
older sisters. There is, I believe, a
sort of unwritten law among women
that daughters must marry in rotation
according to age, though instances of
rebellious younger sisters who marry
before ' their elders are common
enough. But certainly in this case
Dorothy, which we'll name the young-
est, had not the least idea of ever
doing anything so improper. It might
seem to her that her older sisters had
had a fair chance, and that they
were unconscionably long in getting
out of the way, but still she was pa-
tient and willing to wait.
"Indeed, Dorothy was very closely
looked after, by her mother and older
sisters, and little opportunity was ever
given her even remotely to contem-
plate the idea of marriage. It was
not -until last fall that anything in
the guise of a man was allowed to
approach within hailing distance.
Then she was given thfe privilege of
receiving some circumspect calls from
Under the tre« on the lawn.
a neighboring young man named Har-
ry Lambert. He's one of the best
young fellows in town, only a year or
two older than Dorothy and altogether
desirable in every way. During the
fall he was accustomed to drop
around Sunday evening and spend an
hour with Dorothy on the front porch
or sitting on a bench under a tree on
the lawn. Her mother approved,
though the older sisters were accus-
tomed to sneer and to question the
propriety of the proceedings. Though
you must not gather that the older
felrls had no attentions—far from it.
Mr. Edward Edgewater has been reg-
ularly paying court to Elizabeth, the
oldest, for a number of years. Mr.
William Jackson has been doing the
same by Ruth, the second daughter. I
don't know why, but the progress qf
Jrfessrs.. Edgewater and Jackson has
been exceedingly slow. They havfi
called with clocklikc regularity every
Sunday evening, but the joyous wed-
ding bells have refused to ring.
"So during the fall things ran on
as I have indicated, each cf the young
men finding happiness in the com-
pany of the lady of his choice every
Sunday evening. But with the ap-
proach o£ cold weather the prospect
for Dorothy changed. The porch or
the lawn were all very well under the
soft influence of the harvest moon—
perhaps preferable to any other place
—but the austere November mcon is
another thing. Right here I ought to
mention that the v/idow's house,
though comfortable, is far from large.
It accommodated Elizabeth and Ruth
very pleasantly for courting purposes,
but there was really no place for an-
other. So there was nothing for
Dorothy but to throw herself on the
generosity of the others, and beg them
to share with her, since Sunday even-
ing was the only time 'that Harry
could conveniently call. She went to
Elizabeth first and laid the case be-
fore her, and asked for the use of
the parlor occasionally—perhaps- once
a month. The cider girl proved colder
than the November moon. She re-
plied in effect, that she was in the
habit of entertaining Mr. Edgewater
in the parlor each Sunday evening
and that she had no intention of giv-
ing it up for a chit who ought to be
in short dresses. Hardly! Dorothy
had better go back to her dolls.
"Poor Dorothy wiped her eyes and
sought Ruth. This lady was dumb-
founded. The idea! She was accus-
f'lndade, Oi'll not. "
tomed to see Mr. Jackson in the din-
ing room each Sunday evening, and
she thought she saw herself giving it
up to a minx who ought to be wear-
ing her hair in a long braid. Oh, yes!
Dorothy had better go back to her
dolls. Dorothy had a quiet cry, then
she bethought her of Maggie. The
kitchen was not just the place to
receive Harry, but—any port In a
storrc; so she sought out Maggie.
"The loikes of that! Well, I never!
And me in the habit of receiving
Afficer Donovan here ivery Sunday
noight, with the consint of the'missus.
And him a proper young man, and on
this beat, and that.his only noight off.
Indade, Oi'll not! Oi'll give notice
first! It's a wonder that Miss Dor-
othy don't go back to her dolls!"
"Poor Dorothy! She retired to her
own room and had .a good cry. Fate
was against her; there was no hope.
It was Saturday; the evening paper
predicted a cold wave. There was a
little touch of snow on the ground the
next morning. Dorothy cried some
more. This was really all there was
left for her to do.
"But next evening Harry came. He
had feared the worst, and was pro-
vided with his Winter overcoat and a
pair of heavy goloshes. Dorothy put
on her winter cloak and took her muff
and together they spent an hour
tramping briskly up and down the
path beside the house. Their teeth
chattered considerably, but they'man-
aged to carry on a conversation, and
to some purpose, as appeared subse-
quently. At the end of the hour Harry
said good-night at the front steps,
passed out the gate, sneezed furioUsly
three times and hurried home.
"The next afternoon Dorothy and
Harry called at my house. Harry
asked me to marry them then and
there. Dorothy told their story, and
explained that they had not intended
to be married for a couple of years,
mainly out of regard for the feelings
of her sisters, but that now there was
nothing for them but to be married
or give each ether up, which they
could never, never do. So I married
them.
"The marriage, I heard, produced
some excitement in the widow's house-
hold. Elizabeth and Ruth are re-
ported to have said things, especially
when they got a note" from Dorothy
while away on a little three-day wed-
ding tour, asking them please to look
after her dolls, and see that they
were fed regularly and put to bed at
seven o'clock. Messrs. Edgewater and
Jackson were also said to have been
rendered thoughtful by the occur-
rence, and when I met Officer Dono-
van on his beat the next day I no-
ticed he seemed preoccupied. So If
you haven't forgotten my moral you
see where it comes in. Be generous.
At least, don't be too selfish."
Pcomote Cotton Culture.
Five million dollars has been sub-
scribed so far in England for promot-
ing the cultivation of cotton in Brit-
ish cclonies and Egypt. One part of
the scheme is to send out a large num-
ber of overseers *and experts in cot-
ton growJjjg to Instruct the natives
till they are familiar with the
process.

The seas of Japan, Okotsk and Bell-

The, Olive In California.
Only in recent years has the olive
bocome a considerable factor in the
fruit producing regions of California.
The olive seems to be especially
ildaptecj to California. The tree itself
is u slow growing evergreen of great
longevity and productiveness. In
some of the older countries about the
Mediterranean, trees hundreds of
years old and sometimes twenty feet
and more in circumference have been
reported. When grown naturally the
tree attains a height of 40 feet or
more and has a rounded form. The
leaves ate small and lance-shapet)
dull green above and silvery beneath.
Though the olive was grown in Cali-
fornia by the early Mission fathers,
It is only within the last twenty years
that it has become of commercial im-
portance. As yet the growers of
olives are experimenting with the soils
suited for it, and have many things
to learn. The industry is somewhat
checked by the sale of cottonseed oil
for olive oil. Olives have to have a
temperature that never falls below 20
degrees, and succeed best where the
lowest temperature of the year is not
below 43 degrees. The trees are well
suited to Bandy lands rich in potash.
