A PATRON OF ART.
■
Ht Was a Good Bluffsr, but Os Wlnt I
Called His Hand.
Peter de Wiiit, the Ktigiish land- j
a<npo painter, whs aecustorm-d each !
year t<> have a semiprivato show of j
his pictures la-fore sending them to the j
| Water f’oior society's exhibition. On
, such occasions Pis fi-i. ads frei|ucntly j
j bought pictures, whii-h. of course, up- j
p ared at the puolic exhibition marked t
j "Soid."
Among the painter's friends was a (
t wealthy man who wanted to appear a
. patron of art and at the same lime to j
| keep his money. He managed Ibis by
i loudly admiring die paintings already
j sold. He was always a bit too late to
i buy the pictures tin t pleased him most
‘ and. having seen them, he could never
; content himself with less beautiful]
works.
J He Wint at last suspected the mail's i
; sincerity, ami when the next show day
j came round be concluded to test him. j
! After plenty of time had been allowed i
1 for I»e Wint's friends to make their j
• purchases, the rich man arrived. As |
j usual, his eye soon fell on two “per- !
j feet gems" marked "Sold." Turning to j
; the artist, lie said, “Now, He Wint,]
■ those are exactly the things I should ;
I like to possess; what a pity they are
! not to be had.-’
I “.My dear sir." said the painter, slap
| [ting him on the hick. "I knew you
| would like them, so f put the ticket*on
| them to keep them for you."
A LESSON IN THRIFT.
* —.
I How a Young Man Can Lay tha Foun
dation of an Old Aga Income.
In “The Family's Money" in tlit*
i American MagH/.ine a father asks his
son why he iloes not increase his iu
! come every year in the following man
! uer: “Suppose you save $-50 a year, or
aliout $5 a week. You could do that
and not suffer. Invest Mint money In a
sound <5 per cent security. Imring the
second year it will earn for you $15,
| giving you an increase of *1.-5 a
| month. Add your interest gain to the
i principal, and at the end of the second
' year you will have $515 working for
| you.
j "At the close of the fourth year you
will have a capital invested of $1.(KJ2.
I which during the tilth year will give
! you $05, or more than $5 a month. Of
I course each year is adding to your
principal and your income. When the
eighth year comes to an end you will
I possess capital of S'j.-iTO. which during
1 the ninth year will earn $14$. or more
j than $1'-’ a month, and that is not an
amount to laugh at.
"At tlie ciul of the twentieth year
1 you have $n.l$P. which dining the fol
j lowing year will earn $55o. or more
1 than $45 u month. When that year
I closes you will possess capital <•( prac
tically sio.tKio. which will gi'e you an
income increase of $i>s> per annum, or
$50 a mouth.'’
Boys and Girls.
The difference is apparent early. A
boy lias as* much fun in stoning a eat
as a girl has in hunting for violets.
' A boy's curiosity is directed to the ice
i box; a girl would like to see what is in
tin* top bureau drawer.
A girl can give the impression when
away from home that her parents are
I wealthy; a boy cannot.
A gil l is never so young that slie will
, reveal to guests at a party that the
I spoons are borrowed; a boy child never
'1 grows so old that he fails to.
.! (Jive a boy a dollar, and he will eat
! it: give his sister one, and she will
wear it.
When brothers fight it is over the
p larger share of pie. When sisters quar
rel one has worn something belonging
to the other without asking permis
sion.—Youth's Companion.
A Woman Did It.
; A lesson to landlords is this. A wo
| man did it. She wauled the house pa
pered. The landlord talked about the
paper shortage and took his rent and
: went.
The nest month when he called he
found the house beautifully papered.
He was pleased and said so. The wo
man smiled. She walked to the wall
and moved a picture aside. Beneath
the picture was a grimy square of the
old paper. The woman had papered
around every picture in the house. As
she paid the month's rent she guve no
tice that she would move the next
month.—Philadelphia North American.
Gratitude!
' An unusual form of testamentary
gratitude is recorded in the diary of
Henry (ireville. "A man who had spent
! much of his time in tisbing left,a direc
1 tion in his will that as he had derived
i much nourishment, us well as pleasure
from the fish he had caught at Cbertsev
; it was onk’t fair to tile descendants of
those fish that he in return should be
come their food. He therefore desired
that his body should be cast into* the
: Thames at Chertsey.”—London Tattler.
Had to Say Something.

with his employer’s daughter)—Is Mr.
Cashleigh in? Butler—Yes, sir. Jack
Timid (horribly disappointed)—WeTi,
