It is geverally more exasperating than when the sender forgets altogether the stamp he should have inclosed, for then, at least, it is not wasted. Even the most extravagant of us seldom have souls above saving a stamp, foritis, strangcly, far dearer tous than the two cents it repre- sents.

An Elderty Woman Whose Benev- o} > ~ Rel Was Mispl +% 4 Her Motherly Instinct Lea Her Into a Grievous Error—Why an Undersized Man Was Offered a Seat in Her Lan. ; there 1s a woman on the West side who still shudders when she thinks of a blunder she made one day in a Summit street car, says the Detroit Free Press. She is an elder- ly woman, with sons old enough to attend the high school, and is of a mild and benign disposition. She does not see well without her giasses, and to this she attributes her mis- fortune. . About eight o’clock in the even- ing of one of the very cold days she had a seat in a Summit street car. It was crowded with shoppers and men going home from work. Stand- ing in front of her, with his back turned to her, the other passengers saw avery short man. He was hav- ing a very hard time keeping on his feet as the car lurched from time to time with the slack of the “‘cable.” He was too short to hold to the straps, and the best he could do was to hang to the man iu front of him. A look of sympathy passed over the benign-looking woman’s face as she witnessed his struggles. When the car rounded the curve at the cor- ner of Ninth and Washington streets it gave a frightful lurch. The little man was taken off his guard, and landed squarely in the woman’s lap. He tried to rise as fast as he could, and excuse himself, when to his surprise and horror, he felt that she wus holding him where he was. He tried again to get up, but she held him tighter than be- fore. ' “That’s all right, little boy, sit still,’”. she said kindly, with a smile. Passengers were staring in amaze- ment at the unusual spectacle, and the ribbon-counter girl in the cor- ner of the car tittered audiably. The undersized victim began. to squirm, but his captor attributed it to his bovish embarrassment. It was only when he turned his big round eyes on her and said, in a deep bass voice: ‘*Will you be kind enouzh to let me go, madam?” that she discovered that she bad made a horrible mistake. She had taken him fora mere boy, and her mother- ly instinct: had: asserted itself at seeing him stand upin acrowded car. Her confusion was paiuful to wit- ness. She stammered a few words of expianation, which the short man was too rattled to reply to. The passengers were cruel enough to laugh, and they both looked as though they wished themselves far away. At the nearest corner she got. out, her cheeks. still crimson with mortification. _The short man took her seat, jammed his hat down hard over his: forehead and buried himself in-his newspaper. - - Pie A Bevy of Birds at a Hotel. A queer coincidence was the cause of considerable merriment in the day. Early in:theday 'D. Sparrow, of New York, registered and was as- signed to his room. Within an hour T. J. Quail, of Gloverdale, Mass., spread his name upon the register, and he, too, went to his room. In the afternoon C. A. Partridge, of this city, registered for dinner, and he remarked that if any notes came for him the clerk should hold them. The next afternoon L. R. Forrest, of Albany. N. Y., registered at the hotel, and all mail that came to the three men was putin his box. ‘‘It was the most appropriate place for it,” said Mr. Parker, adding: ‘‘This reminds me of an annual game din- ner.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
