Mutual Confessions.
No stories are more trustworthy than
th se which people tell upon themselves
in m'
pi
oments of abandon to the merry
s. it of the hour. One eonfession
b gs forth another, and the chain of
la ghter lengthens.
Qn artist whose portraits are only less
familiar than hits charming illuetratiohs
which peep from the pages of our best
magazines, sat in his studio with a group
of gay friends about him a few evenings
ago. A casual remark started' a Whole
series of confessions. One of the guests
rebuked his host for keeping his top -coat
on during a recent "at home." He re-
plied, "To tell the truth, the sabject of
when to take off my coat is a matter of
dreadful anxiety to me. I went to church
one Sunday to sing in a choir that stood
in front of the congregation. Getting in
just on time, I pulled off my overcoat
and only discOvered by catching sight of
my shirt -sleeve that I had no coat on at
all. I had just bought me a reefer, and,
of course, wore no coat under it.
"My next experience was almost- as
bad. Going to a full-dress party I found
my overcoat too heavy and my spring
coat too light. Once more I adopted the
short, tailless reefer, tucking up my
dress -coat tails. An attendant removed
my coat upon entering the house, and
my host bore me with impetuous cordi-
ality into the midst of the room. Quite
forgetful, I made my bows here and
there until a series of well-bred smiles
and a vigorous touch upon my arm
brought my coat-tails to my recollection,
and I backed out of the room sn blush-
ing confusion,"
"If Harry wouldonly not pat on his
hat in church I wouldn't mind anything
else," said his wife, "but he goes to the
theatre so much oftener than to church,
and his bald spot is a trifle sensitive .1
suppose.'"Humph," replied the hus-
band, "I make a driveling idiot of my-
self saying over, `Keep your hat in
your hand till ypu get to the vesti-
bule! Keep yeur hat in t our hand till
you get to the vestibule ! through the
prayer and hymn and sermon; and then
when 1 step out into the aisle the bustle
makes me clap it on, and then 1 jerk it
off and get red in the face.
"But that is not so bad as to think one
is in church when one is at the play.
My wife is the daughter of a• minister
and had never been in a theatre until she
came to Boston with me, and. I was to
meet her and our hostess at the Park
Theatre one night. By some sa schance
I was late and flurried and disappointed.
The two ladies were ushered doWn what
seemed to the countrywoman an inter-
minable aisle to the third row Of stalls
from the front. My wife, as she sank
into her Seat, dropped her head at once
L' ; slevoutly upon the rail in front. At this
moment her companion gasped : `Sara,
what are you going to do?'`'I'ake off
my rubbers,' said the quick-witted
woman abandoning her prayers to clutch
at a ?out that was guiltless Of over-
shoe."
"That was not so bad a mistake as I
made in church," said one of the guests,
"when I was a bride in Penns lvania.

I had curly hair that frizzed a out my
neck naturally, but every one elae that I
knew wore false frizzes which called
1,1
tight at the back of the head. . o I had
a way of twisting my short hair p in a
bit of paper on each side for a few mo-
ments before going out. One Smaday
morning my young husband saw me pre-
paring to twist up and said waaniingly :
'Cynthia, you will certainly forget those
curl -papers some day.' No I won't.
have never never forgotten them yet,' said 1;
'but I will use big papers this time so
that I cannot help thinking of them.'
Up went my locks. When church -time
approached the cat tipped over a vase
and I was hurried off in a flutter of an-
noyance. By the time church was
reached, in my fresh gown and still fresh
wifely honors, I felt quite the centre of
attraction as I followed my husband up
the great aisle. During the Ion $ litany
I stood, and my idle young thoughts
drifted about until my eyes alighted.
upon a good Moravian Sister who wore
behind each ear a group of fito false
curls of such weight and size as never
grew on mortal head. 'There,'it mused
complacently; 'I wonder if ever I shall
.' Oh, ye gods! what had 1 done?
The cancllemoId curls were things of
beauty beside the newspaper horns which
reposed behind my own ears ! I did not
dare sit down (for my husband had re-
proved me for doing that the Sunday be-
fore), until the litany was ended, and
those papers would crackle ifl I took
them out there. I lived through the
next few moments in a cold perspiration.
Never did I hear 'Let us pray' with such
devout thanks. I slid to my knees.
Two wrenching clutches transferred the
eurl-papers to my pocket, and a vicious
slab disposed of the scolding locks inside
my net. Then the funny side struck
me. I peeped between my fingers at my
husband only to see his mouth twitching
with amusement. He never mentioned
; the subject between us for months, but
the sight of a tight curl on any one's
,. neck will send a cold streak down my
apine to this day."
"Was that your own actual experi-
ence?" asked one of the fair guests some-
what to the astonishment of the others. •
no, not exactly," was
the blushing reply. "It really happened
to a friend of a lady whom I met on my
bridal tour in Pennsylvania. I ventured
to tell it in the first person as being
more interesting. Why do you ask ?"
"Because I was the bride wher went to
church in curl -papers !" was the astound-
ing reply. -
After a pause the real bride proceeded
to add to the stock of narrative as fol-
lows: "The last time I told a story was
at a summer resort. It was about an
awfully mean man who took his chil-
dren's pennies from them. When I got
through a young man sitting near me
arose and coldly said: 'Ma am, that
was my father.'
Please, Mister, Don't Have Me
Arrested.
"Yes, he may be a fraud—probably is
one,- replied the man under the white
plug hat as he replaced his change, "but
I made a mistake on the wrong side of
the ledger once, and I don't watt to be
caught that way again."
"How was it?"
"Well, I'm neither a Christian nor a
philanthropist. Fact, is, I'm -a pretty
hard-hearted man on the average, but I
nsed to be a little worse than I am now.
One evening, ,five or six years ago, in
front of this very store, a boy about
twelve years of age hit me for a dime.
He had tears in his eyes, a drawl to his
voice, and I spotted him at 'once for an
Imposter. He went on to say that his
father was sick and unable to work, and
that he himself had been down with a
fever and had no strength to look for -a
job, and I laughed in derision and told
him to clear out or I'd give him in
charge."
"It's an old dodge," observettstheman
who was smoking the corn -cob pipe.
"Exactly, but It may not always be a
dodge. I had a pocket full of silver and
I was too ornery mean to hand over a
dime. Supposed he wanted the money
for himself ! How contemptible in me
to begrudge that trifling sum to a little
chap who was certainly all skin and
bone and evidently needed a square
meal."
"But it would have been encouraging
vice," said the man with the check shirt
front.
"Bosh! There are men in this city
who are looked upon as shining ex-
amples, who cheat and swindle the peo-
ple out of a thousand dollars where vice
gets a shilling. This little incident I
have been relating went out of my mind
in an hour, but next day, as I was look-
ing over an old tenement with the
owner, who wanted me to figure on re-
pairs, who should I come across but the
boy of the night before. He was in bed
and raging with fever. ,In bed? Well,
he was tossing round on a heap of rags!
In the same room was the mother trying
to earn a few cents at the wash tub, but
not having the strength to work for
more than five minutes at a time. Also
the father—just alive with consumption,
and occupying a bed no better than the
boy's."
"Same boy, eh ?" queried the corn -cob
pipe man as the hard lines in his face
began to melt.
"The very same. There was a quiver
in his voice no one could forget in a day.
He was raving away of this or that, but
the father was quiet and inclined to be
cheerful. As I sat down beside him for
a moment after leaving a $5 hill in his
skeleton hand he said:
'God bless you for a good man!
When little Ben started out last night
we hadn't either light, fuel or food in
ethe house. He met some kind-hearted
man who gave him a dollar. It might
have been you. But ft:4' that money
God knows how we must have suffered."
"Might have been me ! When I re-
membered how I had repulsed that boy
the thought stabbed me like a knife ! I
was trying to say something to cheer the
• dying man when the fever -stricken lad
sprang up, evidently recognizing my
voice, and cried out: -
'Please, mister, dou't have me arrest-
ed). Don't let 'em lock me up! I'm
telling the truth—I ain't lying!'
"He came right over and got hold of
me and I tell you if ever a man was
..broken down it was this very individual.
I left twenty-five dollars there when I
went away and I sent a doctor round,
but inside of a week father and son were
dead. One died blessing me, and the
last words of the other were an entreaty
to me not to call him a fraud and have
him locked up. That's why my hand
goes down for the chink when man or
boy strikes me for change. I'd rather
give a thousand dollars to frauds than
have another honest boy die with my
refusal grinding into his soul."
A Texan's Ide .
The writer of this paragra h recently
had a talk with an intellignat business
man from Texai,- who was himself a
drinker. The conversation had been
upon the subject of high license. The
Texan had said. that he was emphatically
opposed to it. "If it is right for one
man to sell liquor," he said,' it is right
for another. I don't believe in this
idea of shutting down on the saloon
keepers who haven't money and driving
all the business into the 'hands of those
who ',can afford to pay i$500. ' If saloons
are a bad thing, you ought to shut them
off altogether. That's what I am going
to vote for tliis fall.", In reply to the
inquiry what he himself ,would do if
prohibition were adopted; he replied,
"1 am going to have my own private
jug in my own,private house. Because
I don't always .act right is no reason
why.I shouldn't vote right. A great
many drinking men in Texas feel in
just the same way. If the vote were
taken now, prohibition would carry the
$tate."—News,
A Boy who Understood Polite-
ness.
A class of boys in a Board School
were being examined orally, not very
long since, in Scripture. One of their
special subjects of Scriptural study, for
the year, had been the life of Moses.
What would you say was the general
'character of Moses ?" a.slced the inspector,
-" that is to say," added he, "what sort
of a man was Moses ?" "He was meek,"
said one boy; ; "brave," answered an-
other; "learned," added a third boy.
:" Please, sir, he was a gentleman,"
piped forth a pale faced, bright-eyed,
neatly dressed lad of eleven or there-
abouts. "Gentleman !" repeated the
official, with a look of unmistakable sur-
prise, "what do you mean ?" The well-
behaved little boy promptly replied, in
the same thin, nervous voice, " Please
sir, when the daughters of Jethro went
to the well to draw water, the shep-
herds came and drove them away, and
Moses helped the 'daughters of Jethro,
and said to the shepherds, 'Ladies first,
please, gentlernen."—London- Christian

Prohibition.
The following from the Toronto Tele-
gram has at least the Merit of novelty:
Either the,people Of this country are
in favor of .prohibition of the liquor
traffic or they are not. If they are, why
should not prohibition be made the law
of the land, and if they are not, why
should not every man be compelled to
drink a certaih quantity of liquor per
day ?, Here is a question worth think-
ing over if "'it be fair that a sirnple
majority of the people of Canada shall
say to the minority "not one. of you
shall drink e. drop- of liquor," why
-should it be unfair for the majority,
.the cases being reversed, to say to the
'minority "each of you shall drink at
least a tivart de beer every twenty-four
hours ?" This would, be rather awk-
ward for the minority, to be sure, but if
we are to settle these questions by
numbers then the minority must be pre-
pared to submit to the majority.. A I
majority that attempted to "put a law of
that kiud in force would have an un-
pleasant time of it, and before the earth
'had revolved twice on its own axis there
would be a revolution and .civil war. A
bishop once said that he would rather
see every. man in England drunk of his
. own free will than kept sober by act of
parliament, so highly did he esteem the
principle of individual liberty. But we
all know that the world would be better
without liquor, and that if the temp-
tation were removed there would be few
