an THE MODERN MAID. 4] AM aweary, mother dear, Enfeebled and o'er-worn ; I cannot wield a broom, I fear, Nor pull and husk the corn. Twould jeopardize my health to make The beds or can the fruit, Or help you dust, or sew, or bake, Ere I my strength recruit.” Thus spake the maiden, gave a cough, To strengthen her appeal, Then donned her bloomers and rode off Ten miles upon her wheel —RKichmond Dispatch. Oxe night, several years ago, there wasa fire in a com- mission house. The contents were almost totally destroyed, and the loss, as figured by the insurance adjusters, was quite large. After an estimate had been made a member of the firm brought in a claim for an additional loss, saying that a large number of egg cases had been burned. These cases had recently been shipped in, and the house was responsible forthem, After some haggling an extra allowance of $450 was made on account of these cases for shipping eggs. At least five years after that the member of the firm who had pat in the special claim called at the office of the in- surance company and said he wanted to ease his conscience SEISSOR) AT NvLLv§ a astoan item in the insurance adjustment. The egg cases destroyed had belonged to various shippers, and they had been induced to accept the loss, so that it was nothing more than right that the $450 insurance money should be returned to the company. This unusual exhibition of delayed honesty affected the insurance manager greatly, and he asked the commission man what had induced him to return the money after such a long interval. “Well, I'm going out of business,” was the reply, ‘and 1 want to leave everything square and in good condition.” A few days later the brother (who was also the business partner) of the man with the conscience came to the insur- ance office and asked ; ‘* Did my brother come around here the other day and pay you $450?" “Yes, sir; he refunded that insurance money which was paid under—under a misapprehension, as you might say. Is there anything wrong about it ?” “Oh, no, nothing wrong; only when he collected that money he had it credited to his personal account, and now he has refunded it out of the firm's money."—Chicago Record, “* Bero' de war” a negro boy who was sharply reproved for having stolen and eaten a turkey replied : “Well, massa, you see you got less turkey, but you got dat much more niggah !"— Youth's Companion. wos N WHO DID NOT, By Victoria Cros Boston: Roberts Brothers.
