WHAT CHRIS LIKED.
Chris had bright red hair and
bright blue eyes. When he came
into the street -car, the March wind
had blown a racy color into his
cheeks, so that he looked like a very
bright boy,
He went to the front cud of the
car to put his fare into the box, and
when he came back, a young lady
was entering the door. Chris sat
down opposite her, and waited until
she had drawn from her puree the
httle black circle which was the
ticket need on that line. Before
she had even time to raise her eyes,
she saw a red mitten held out before
her, and dropped the ticket into it
with a pleased "Thank yon."
But before Chris could get back
again, his seat was taken. Three
or four passengers had come in, and
the car wile now quite full. The
pretty young lady had for a neigh-
bor an old woman with a brown veil
tied around her head, and who wore
a shiny alpaca dress, with coarse
black ]ace sewed in the sleeves.
She had placed on the floor a thick,
brown paper bundle, fully two feet
long ; and, of course, with such a
thing at her feet, she could net get
up very entity. So Chris offered to
carry her faro for her, and she
thanked him with a grateful smile ;
she had a 'very pleaeant Nice. It
took her some time to find her
pocket, and while Chris was waiting,
he collected tickets and five cont
pieces, pito like a young conductor.
The old lady finally handed him a
quarter, and, as, he had to get

time it WAS t0 let some of the pas.
sengers out ; and the young lady
looked up at Chris, and mentioned
to him to take the vacant place at
her side,
"I am very glad that you have a
seat at last," elle said, "for you lost
yours by your kindness to ms ; and
you have been kept busy ever
since."
"Oh 1" Heid Chris, "I like to put
money in the box."
"I think you like to be obliglug ;
don't you ?" asked the lady.
At this, the red color in the boy's
cheeps, which had grown n little
paler since he was sheltered from
the wind, became bright again. He
did not know what to say, but was
euro be ought to make some reply.
"I guess so," he answered ; and
then tried to let the young lady see
that he was looking very earnestly
at the store window in front of
vthioh they were etopping. But for
all that, ho saw a thin -laced gentle-
man come slowly in, and was in-
stantly on his feet again, saying
eagerly : "Hero is a seat, sir."
The gentleman looked very tired
and pale, and Chris thought he must
be just recovering from a sickness.
Of course, there was now another
fare to be paid, and he did it with a
business -like air, as of one quite ac-
ouetoneed to his work.
"Have I taken your seat 7" asked
the gentleman. "It was very kind
in you to give it up to an old man."
Now Chris had not thought him
old, though he looird feeble ; and
he was all at 01100 afraid that in his
haste he might have forgotten to be
polite. For, without knowing how
to put it into words, he knew that
We are seldom really kind when we
sot as if we think ourselves so.
"I like to stand and hold on to a
strap," said he,
Then his eye happened to fall on
the old woman's big bundle, he Bo-
gan to wonder whether it wore heavy a
and she had far to carry it, and e
whether, of ho should got off when w
she slid, she would not lot him take I el

Newspaper men have often been
asked by the inquisitive how ninny
hours they work. The Omaha Re-
publican thug answers the question:
—Newspaper men are the only peo-
ple who have no holidays. The
thing they are chiefly thankful for
is that there are no more than 865`
days in a year, except leap year,
and only 24 hours in a day. There
is some talk of n strike among the
fraternity for a redaction of hours
t0 seventeen on week days, and six
teeu on Sundays. At present they
are working eighteen and seveotoeu,
with n, half a day off once in Iwo
years. There's nothing like hav-
