Balzac’s Cynical Words. When arascal is loved by an bonest woman, she either be- }comes criminal or he an honest man. Next to the pleasure of admir- ‘ing the woman we love is that of seeing her admired by others. Woman lives by sentiment, Where man lives by action. “As you please” is the wife's first word of indifterence. Money matters-cin always be settled, but feelings are pitiless. There are but few moral wounds that solitude does: not cure. A man should find all women in his wife, : There are sOme men who are always polite—they have gloved souls. Women are apt to see chiefly the defects of a man of talent and the merits of » fool. No man has yet been able to discover the means of giving friendly advice toa woman, not even his own wife. Lové, after giving more than it has, ends by giving less than it receives. Perhaps in nine cases in every ten the reports of alleged “race wars’ telegraphed from the South are mere pervisions of such com- mon brawls as are likely to occur whenever and wherever the con- nection is made between a mean |man and mean whiskey. They are christened “‘race wars” by men who know that! when s0 called they may be worth $5 éach, while if ‘they were called disturbances of the peace they could : not’ be marked at all.—_New York’ World, Is it possible that the World hag paused long enough in its mad rush for sensatioas to wake this diseuvare?

Taught Him a Lesson. He was a State street cable car conductor of most surly and disa- greeable temper. When a woman carrying altogether too large a bun- dle for her strength boarded the car, he grumbled a running five minutes straight about the perversity of hu- man nature in general and of the feminine sex in particular. A few ‘moments before he had viciously’ kicked at a newsboy who. dared stand on the platform while selling a newspaper. At Adams: street a portly military looking gentleman and his wife got on the car. ‘That is the smallest I have,”’ said the ‘tnilitary gentleman as he tendered a $5 bill for fare, The conductor growled again and grumbled inaudibly, but finally dug into his pockets for the change. First he gave, two silver dollars, then 90 cents—all in dimes—and then the balance in quarters. He seemed in an exceedingly great hur. ry as hé handed the quarters to his passenger. The other passengers no- ticed it too. Now, it so happened that in the change mado a very bad quarter was on the point of calling the sur.’ ly conductor back when he discov- ered the latter had handed him nine instead of eight quarters. That de- cided him to hold his peace. He wasn’t out in any event. They had ridden quite a distance when the conductor came back again. “Didn't I. give, you too much’ change?’’ he inquired frowningly and in a tone that plainly insinu- ated, ‘Well, you’re a nice fellow tc try to beat a poor conductor.”’ **You did,” the man said. ‘‘You gave me a very bad quarter which you were very anxious to shove on me, but as I could not possibly use it iY nM give it back to you. Hereit is,’’ The other passengers who had witnessed the whole: performance laughed outright, their, tantalizing sneers following the surly conductor to the door, which he opened and then slammed with /: bang. —Chica-}- go Chronicle. i ' § Don’t forget that [ am located in the Rialto’ ‘block with a full . ——stock of - ; ven My 'N | Co and see and be surprisedt {4 t ja wars on hand and sold at unable to get down.
