THEY Tigures Did—rugenerous Treaiment of a Tramp. A greasy -looking tramp who has lived in City Hall Park for three years, and whose feet have become as hard as rocks from the frequent rappings upon them from the clubs of the sparrow policeman, took four 5 -cent whiskies the other day and mustered up courage enough to march to the Mayor's office. He had a paper in his hand. The doorkeeper nabbed him and asked him what he wanted. "1 wish to see Mayer Grant," he said, loftily. "What about ?" "That's my business."

Digging Earth Worms. A man tells how to get earth worms without digging for them, says the St. Louis Globe-Dsmocrat. Take a strong stick, four or five feet long and sharp at one end, and go to some locality such as the backof a barn where the worms are sure to be plentiful. Drive the stick four or five inches into the ground with a hammer or stone, and then begin to twist it with a rotatory motion. Every few minutes hit the top a rap to drive the pointfarther into the ground and keep on twisting. In five minutes the worms will begin crawling out of their holes, and all you have to do is to pick them up and put them in your can. They hear the grinding and think it is a mole after them, and know that only on the surface are they safe. So they come out, those nearest to the sound making their appearance first, with every evidence of haste and trepidation. Sometimes they come up for a distance of 10 or 15 feet from the twirling stick; and. in pieces where they are plentiful, as many as a hundred can be literally scared out of the ground in this manner. Some people think a worm has no sense, and they may be right in general, but a worra knows that a mole is its deadliest enemy, and will come squirming to the top of the ground any time it hears a mole com- ing in iti3 direction. MRS. ULMER'S PLOT. Fad Ione Med as a Tod to Extort Money. MISS SAMANTHIA. ARNOTT wet going th be married. It Made quite a sensatien among the boarders—who had long looked upon her ia the light of a convenient necessity—when Mr. Bruce announced their en. gsfleMent, though tei be sure it was in many respects a very euitable match, They were both young, good.looking and honeetly in love with each other, but San- de was poor arid worked like a slave to !lave her mother servant hire, while Harry Brute was the fortunate possessor. of $100,000. He was perfectly sure, however, that his money was no object with Sande and that she loved him for himself alone, She was sosweet! me pretty 1 Stroh a good, loving, helpful daughter that he felt his heart warm towards her every time he caught sight of her pink cheeks and blue eyes. He inaisted that Mrs. Arnett should hire a strong, capable woman, eo that Susie should have leisure to go about with him. Then he took her everywhere, loaded her with presents and flattered her to such an extent that if she had not been one of the most sensible little women in the world, her lica.ci would have been completely turned. .As it was she took an innocent de- light in this surprisingly long holiday, the new and pleasant companionship. Matters might; have gone on thus indefin- itely had not an unexpected event ocourred. Nothing more nor less than the advent of a new boarder. Not only was she a etrikingly handsome woman, but she was also an old friend of Mr. Bruce's. There ws, more- over, a certain episode of their acquaintance of a peculiarly painful character, so painful, indeed, that he hod never men- tioned to Sansie that period to his life in which she was concerned. He would have accepted an introduction to her ignoring any former meeting, but she made such a course impossible by a very impressive gesture of welcome. Ah ! Mr. Bruce, I am delighted to meet an old friend," she said, with a dazzling flash of her dangeroue dark eyes. If Mr. Bruce shared her delight he said nothing to that effect, but, offering his arm, led her direct to the corner where Sansie sat, demure as a kitten and quite as watchful. "Mrs. Ulmer," said he, " this is my Sande. We are to be married soon and anybody in the house can give you all the particulars. I thought 1 would tell you that much myself, beoause I remember that you used to take a kind interest in my affairs. Sansie, I want you to be very good to Mrs. Ulmer, because —with a 'sudden evil inspiration—" she once did me a very great favor." For an instant anger and surprise flashed into her wonderful eyes, then they were lighted by a gay and careless smile. Why, so Idid," she said. "I had nearly forgotten; it was ages ago." Then she settled herself beside Miss San- sie with the manner of one who had come to stay, and began with malicious satisfaction to discuss Bruce in all possible moods and tenses, with an easy familiarity that well- nigh distracted her listener. At last, to hide the angry tears that were getting dangerously near her eyes, Sansie excused herself and left the room. Powerless to help, Harrel had watched with deep indignation the discomfiture of his little love; now he would have followed her, but Mrs. Timer claimed his attention so openly that he could not get away with- out positive rudeness ; so he suffered him- self to be half amusedand wholly astonished by the young widow's assumption of a long and friendly intima,cye Poor Sansie,however, could see nothing in the affair. She could not help Ham. ing Harry a little, and, much to his sur- prise, grew at times quite snappish with him. At first the idea that Sansie might be jealous struck him in the light of a huge joke. Afterwards, as a dim, masculine perception of the elder woman's attractions and fascinations dawned upon him, he took himself sharply to task. He knew his little, honest, true -hearted love to be worth a dozen aceomplished flirts like Mrs. Ulmer, and so one day, when he caught her quite alone, he told herthe true story of hisformer acquaintance with the lady. "It was years ago," said he. "1 was a young fellow, headstrong and romantic, she was pretty and in no end of trouble, all on account of being mixed up with an ugly piece of scandal. The women would not look at her and the men hardly dared to. "1 began by pitying her; I ended by falling in love and offering to marry her. "She accepted me gladly enough, and for a few weeks I lived in a fool's paradise; than, the very day before we were to have been married, she left me and ran away with Bert Ulmer. "He was a bad lot and led her a hard life, I have heard ; I rather think she is taking more comfort as e. widow than she ever did as a wife. I cannot help feeling a trifle amused when I see what a difference Uncle Hall's money makes. Without it I did not deserve even fair dealing and oommon courtesy; with it I am worth cultivating." "So I perceive," said Sansie, with much asperity ; then, with a sudden smile lighting her sweet, indignant face "was that what you meant when,you saidthat she once did you a great favor ?" "It was. I youlcl have told you before, but I was ashamed of the whole affair, and I did not know how the idea that 1 ever wanted another wife would strike you." "Very favorably, seeing you did not get her,' laughed Belisle. And from that time forward she held her own with the Widow Ulmer. Mr. Bruce could nob help an occasional twinge of masculine pride in the self-evident fact that this very beautiful •roman deeply regretted her youthful escapade. He had such perfect confidence in his own integrity and Sansie's devotion that he never avoided her in the least. One evening when most of the boarders were attending a concert and Sansie was so seriously indieposed ari to be confined to her room, he Settled himself to a solitary chat with Mre. Ulmer without any serious misgivings. To be sure, he would have left the parlor immediately when he found her its only occupant, but she requested a moment's conversation so directly that he found him- self in a manner compelled to listen to her. " Mr. Bruce," said she, sweetly flushed and tearful, "1 am going away in the morning; we may never meet again. Per- hap8 1 ought to let a dead, past rest in peace, but when I look at Seem and think of my own wrecked youth, my lips will speak." Bruce bowed profoundly; he could think of nothing to nay. "Not many years ago," she continued, "a girl young and fair as Sauget loved you just as well ; you won her heart and threw it back to her with acorn, crushed, weended, worthless. I bore it. Mad with rage and pane I married Burt Ulmer and listed. Sansie would die. The ansfluith that drove Things a Girl Should Learn.

She should learn how to make a pretty bow. She should learn—as she learned her alphabet—that a gentleinan should. always be presented to a lady, never a lady to a gentleman. She should learn that it is bad form to congrasnlate a bride at a wedding. One congratulates the bridegroom and wishes the bride happiness. She should learn that it is the worst of bad taste to appear thoughtful or absent- minded in conipany. She should learn, at table, to dip her soup front. her; to use her fork only in the fish course; to lay knife and fork aside when she passes her plate; to eat out of the side of her elation and to fold her napkin neatly, if she is in a private house. She should learn, when she goes driving, to sit upon a man's right, unless he is handling the ribbons. , And,, lastly, she should learn that in violatiug matters of etiquette it is just the same as in other misdemeanors.

I wonder if the would re- gard the position so desirable if I alarmed her the letter, the infamous letter, that gave you year freedom, and made me Mrs. Ulmer ?" " Yoe speak in riddles," said Mr. Bruce, coolly, " but I hardly think Unit Miss Arnott would care to look over your °or- srespondence." That is because you think this is de. stroyed," said she, taking from the bosom of her dress a note, soiled and yellowed by age, broken in the folds, a rumpled, dis- reputable bit of paper. "1 do not wish to threaten," she went on more quietly. "You were fase to me, you may be to Miss Arnett, but I have not the heart to injure you, I have said enough, too much, perhaps, and I know that I have kept this wicked letter too long. Take it, destroy it if you please ; I know that if I wore a man I ehoulcl wish to." . She handed him the paper, open. He took it mechanically, glanced at it, read it from beginning to end, his facie growing set and stern. It was an infamous letter, written in his handwriting, signed with his name. "Dolly Ulmer," he mid, "as sure as there is a heaven above us I never saw this thing before. I could not write like that to any woman, and in these days I loved the very ground you walked on." In those days 1 In those days 1" she cried, bitterly. " Yes, Dolly," he said, sadly ; " that is the worst of some things they can never be righted. I am sorry for you, sorry for myself ; if I could find the person who did this I would thrash the life out of him; but I cannot put time back five years, and I would not want to if I could, because these very years brought me Sansie." " Sansie ! Sansie 1" eaid she ; " your heart is full of Sande ! for you are a man, and men change, but women never." Mr. Bruce was profoundly moved. There was silence for a moment and then she went on, all the passion and pain of years trembling in her voice. " Oh, Harry, Harry 1 look at me once with no sneer upon your lips, with no con- tempt in your dear eyes. What man could resist such an appeal; moreover, he owed her something for all the sorrow and disappointment that had come to her through him. So when the trembling lips tempted, and the dusky eyes entreated, he took her in his arms and .kissed her as in the old days. At this inauspicious moment fate, in the person of Sansie Arnett, opened the door and walked steadily towards them. Her face was very white, but she did not seem at all surprised or embarrassed. In one hand she held a long, dark garment that trailed behind her as she wallre'd, and in the other several curious slips of payer. "Mrs. Miner," said she speaking in a low, quiet tone, "as you he, taken the trouble to allow Mr. Bruce that very clever note, I thought he might like to see other and lees perfect copies. To forge a letter which vilifies no one but yourself is not a State prison offence ; call yourself a widow and try to extort money from a man who has never injured you only proves that you are scheming and dishonest; but the private detective in your room has found evidence of other and more punishable crirnes. A police officer is wait- ing outaide to arrest you; but becomes: you once did Harry a great favor I am ping to try and help you. Take this cloak, pass from here into the dining -room, down the cellar stairs and out through the bulkhead. Once in the back yard you can easily slip away." Mrs. Ulmer never spoke, but all the high color faded out of her face, leaving it gray and corpselike. She caught the dark garment from Sansie's arm and glided like a shadow from the room. When they heard the cellar door close softly Sansie turned to her companion. "She is a wicked woman she said, "and no more a widow than am. Her husband sent her here to make money out of her old acquaintance with you, and I rather think if that deteceive upstairs had not disturbed her little game she would have played it successfully." Then, with a toss of her pretty head, she left the room, not banging the door behind, but shutting it decisively. Mr. Bruce, crushed', bewildered, over. whelmecl, dared not call her back. To tell the truth, however, the young lady was not one-half so angry as she ap- peared to be, because, womanlike, she placed all the blame where most of it belonged—on Mrs. Uhner's handsome shouldsre.

(meaning the tender passion) should have turned a methodical rnann! methodicalness to his own undoing, as nearly happened in the case of Mr. George Peters. Love should have nothing to do with a man during beelines hours. There ought to be a placard to this effect hanging up in all well -regulated business houses. ' " ' ''''''''''' • er s love are rogues e y '"s• the management not to think of the adored object between the hours of 9 A. la. and 6 re M. "By Order." : ''' ..,...,........••••••••••.• .1.•••1. Now George Peters was a very, very methodical person for so young 1118,11. When a letter got into Peter's hands it went through a certain routine and the answer departed from him to the copying -book, and from the copying -book to the envelope, and the envelop, letter and all, with kudos - tires marked, went into the letter -box with a regularity that nothing but the office isle* could emulate; and even that, the clerks said, was not as regular as Peters, for they claimed it was always fast in the morning and mighty slow in pointing to 6 o'clock. It is little wonder, then, that Peters stood high in the confidence of old man Bentham. Bentham was Bentham Brothers & Co. There were no brothers and no com- pany—that was merely the firm name—it was all Bentham. Perhaps there once were brothera and perhaps there was one a coin• pany, but that is all ancient history, any- how and has nothing to do with this stratly modern story. And it did not in- terfere with the fact that old Bentham's name was a lovely thing to have at the bot- tom of a large cheque. The clerks never speculated on the proba- ble effect of love on Peters, beoause it never occurred to them that such& thing as Peters falling in love was within the bounds of possibility. Love, they argued, was not an article that can be docketed and ticketed and referred back for further information, and entered in the day book and posted on the debit and credit side of a ledger, so what on earth could Peters do with it if he had it. Manifestly nothing. If they had known as much about human nature as you or I they would have surmised that when Peters did fall it was time to stand from under. And who should Peters fall in love with but the very woman of all others whom he ought never have given a thought to— in other words, pretty little Miss Sadie Bentham, if you please. It made Peters himself cold when he thought of it, fer he knew he had just as inuch chance of getting the 'moon or the laureateship as the coneelit of old man Bentham. The Clerks always said that it was Miss Sadie who fell in love with Peters, principally, I suppose, because she should have known better, and I think myself there is something to be said for that view of the matter. Anyhow, she came to her father's place of business very often and apparently very unnecessarily, but the old man was always pleased to see her, no matter how busy he happened to be. At first she rarely looked at Peters, but when she did flesh one of those quick glances of hers at him poor Peters thought he had the feVer and Ague. He understood the symp- toms later on. I don't know how things came to a climax; neither do the clerks for that mat- ter, although they pretend In. Besides, they are divided in their opinions, so I think their collective surmises amount to but very little. Johnson claims that it was done over the telephone, while Farnam says she came to the office one day when her father was not there and proposed to Peters on the spot. One thing the clerks are unanimous about, and that is that Peters left to himself, would never have had the courage. Still, too much attention must not be paid to what the clerks say. What can they know about it? They are in another room. Peters kuew that he had no right to think about that girl during business hours. He was paid to think about the old man and his affairs, which were not nearly so interesting. But Peters was conscientious, and he tried to do his duty. Nevertheless, the chances are that unconsciously little Miss Sadie occupied some small portion of his mind that should have been given up to the concerns of Bentham Bros. & Co., and her.presence where she had not the slightest business to be threw the rest of his mental machinery out of gear.

"1 don't know the initials. Irfere's the letter." Peters was stricken. He was appalled -- dumb --blind. The words, "Darling Potts'," danced lifore his eyes. He felt his hair beginning to rise. The book did not fall from his hand simply because he held it mechanically—methodically. Old Bent- ham roared; then closed the door so that the clerks would not hear his mirth. "That's one on you, Peters. It's too good to keep. I must tell that down at the club." "1 wouldn't if I were you, sir," fetid Peters, elowly recovering his eenses as he saw the old man had no euspicion how the land lay, "No, I suppose it wouldn't be quite the square thing. But of all men in the world, Peters—you? Why do you elope? Why not marry her reepectably at the church or at home? You'll regret going off like that all your life." " Miss—the—that is—prefers it that way." "Oh, romantic, is she? I wouldn't do it, Peters." "There are other reasons." "Father or mother against, as usual, I suppose.

No, no ! that was Johnson. Peters is in my mem, you know. No, the red.headed man is Farnain. He's in the other room. Peters has the desk in the comer. Seaidest fellow on the street. Ever so much older than I am—in manner, of course. The last man in the city you would suspect of being in love. Well, he wrote "—and so Mr. Bentham told the story. Sadie kissed him somewhat hysterically when he promised to say a good word for Peters, and said he was very kind- hearted. "Besides, papa, you ought to have a part ner in the business. This is no company, you know." "Bless me, child, what has Peters wed- ding to do with the company? He is taking the partner, not Inc. I can't take Peter into partnership merely because he chooses to get married.' Oh, I thought that was customary, said Sadie. There was no elopement after all. The clerks say that it was the conscientious Peters that persuaded Sadie out of it. But as the old man found he had to give way, it came to the same thing. "Sadie," the old man said, "1 think ru Change the name of the firm. I'll retire aria it will be after. this Bentham, Hus- band & Co.' "—Luke Sharp, in Detroit Free Press. It is very generally admitted now that the sprightly Miss Sadie managed the whole affair. No one who knew Peters would ever have given him the credit of proposing an elopment—" accuse him of It," as Johnson puts it. She claimed that while she could manage her father all right enough up to a certain point, yet in this particular matter she preferred to negotiate with him after marriage rather than before. She had a great deal of theoldman's shrewd- ness—had Sadie. He used to say he would not like her as an opponent on a wheat deal. Then the clerkesay—but hang the clerks! What do they know about it? As Farnam truly remarked, casting a gloom over the rest as he spoke: "You may say what you like about Peters, but you can't get over the unwholesome factthat none of us has got her." The gallingness of this undoubted truth was that each of the clerks thought himself a better -looking man than Peters. Well, to come to the awful point where Peters' methodicalness nearly upset the apple.cart. The elopement was all settled, Peters quaking most of the time, and he was to write her a letter giving an account of how arrangements were progressing. It will hardly be oredited—and yet it is possible enough when you think what a machine a methodical man gets to be—that Peters wrote this epistle to his girl on his desk and put it in the pile of letters that were to be copied into the, old man's letter -book 1 The office boy picked up the heap at exactly the usual hoer, took them to the copying press, wet the thin leaves and squeezed them in the love letter next to the one beginning : DEAR Sin: Yours of the 23rd received and °entente noted. Peter got the corner -curled letters, still oamp, and put them all in their right envelopes and Sadie got hers in due time, but did not know enough about businees correspondence to know that her first love letter was written in copying ink and had been through the prem. Next day 'when old tram Bentham was looking over the leaves of the previous day's letters he suddenly began to chuckle to himself. Old Benthain had a very com- fortable, good.natured, well-to-do chuckle that Yeti a pleasure to hear. Even Pam almost smiled as he heard it.
