LEM MADE A HIT.

The Offire Boy Comes to the Rescue of the Editor at a Criti- enl Moment.

"Lem," said the proprietor of the Po- b'ck Clarion, "let's wake up."

"What's the matter?" asked the office hoy, as he wiped his hands off on his

"We're gittin' behind the times agin. We ain't keepin' up with the percession. We've got to give our readers something "tp to date."

"Somethin' about Admira: Dewey," suggested the boy.

"That's the idea. Let's write up a Int uf ancedotes about prominent fo.ks for nur next week's issue. Maybe it'll dn the circulation good."

"Every family in town takes the pa- per now. And puttin' In anecdotes won't make 'em par up."

"Well, it'll look well, anyhow, Ynu go to work, and I'll see what arrange- ments I can make ahoui a load o' wood that a hig advertiser has promised me." He was ahsent an hour, and on his return Lem laid on his desk a proof slip containing the following: A GOOD OXE OX DEWEY. When Admiral Dewey first went to the Naval academy he was a very young mat. As he grew older day by day, he began to get whiskers which he was oh. ged to cut off. For this purpose he was accustomed to use a razor. Anoth- er student, who was also a young man. came in and found the future admiral shaving. Of course, young Dewey did Dot kn w he was going to be an admiral then. But then if he had known it he would no doubt have joked familiarly with those around him, just the same. Such is the delightful simplicity of his character.

"What are you doing?" asked his class mate.

"Cur''ng off my whiskers." "Du: you haven't any whiskers yet." "\'). L'ut I expect to razor few." Li'''e did young Dewey dream that he would wake up to find his words thus what an American boy can dn if he will only try.

"Lem," said the editor, as he looked at the office boy over his spectacies, "that's great. Write some more of 'em. That sounds just like the real thing." -Washington Star.

Naked Apples Glazed. This is a pretty, though simple, dish.

WOMAN WASHES SOCKS.

Chleago Wife Clenny und Mends Friends' Fancy Hose und Hund- kerchlefs for n Living.

A young married woman of Chicago residing on the North side bas recently kept herself busy with'an occupation which promises to be successfully re- manerative, says the Chronicle. Her 'husband was unfortunate, which ue- cessitated the sale of their home and most of the furniture. The remaining furniture was placed in .u small house. The clever wife had two rooms left un- furnished save for a gas stove and a ta- ble she intended to use in her business. When settled in her new small quarters she sent letters to her friends and ac- quaintances intimating her desire to undertake the washing of their fancy bandkerchiefs, laces .of all kinds, sill stockings, wnistcoats:and all dainty articles that could not be Intrusted to the usual laundress. In a very sbort time she had more work than she could undertnke single-handed, so she em- ployed the services of a woman, whom she allowed to wasb :the articles and do any of the rough work, while she de- voted her spare time to the careful iron- ing. Very soon the-energetic wife was earning quite a sum of money in a quiet way. The rooms devoted to the occupa- tlon were kept quite apart and the fam- Ily put to no Inconvenience.

A New African Town.

The Westminster Gazette tells of an English night editor who found in a dispateb this information: "The Boers have taken umbrage," and who wrote for it a displayed beadline, starting off in this style: "Capture of U'mbrage by the Boers." Ile tried to pad bis dis- j the wheel two bours, till two o'clock, patch by giving an account of the lo- ention of L'mbrage, but was unable to find a down of that name in the gazet. trer. It may be observed that the ex- ploit of this night editor throws or- dinary newspaper blunders into the shade.
