Butler Lodge will work the Third
degree on several candidates to-night. t
G. Washington Gladstone. says that
if something does not turn up in the
police line soon he will arrest himself
on the charge of vagrancy. ,
After a long wait for business to pick
up the police arrested Charles Beard
for vagrancy, and Justice Barrett this
morning gave him 30 days in Bridge-
port jail.
Alarge audience should attend the
production of the ‘ ‘Fast Mail” at Musm
Hall to-night. The piece is very high-
ly spoken of by the pressand its pre-
sentation upon the stage is said to be
unusually fine.
The trial of Lewis Sheldon charged
with an assault on baggage-master Jack
Cashow, was held before Justice Bar-
rett yesterday afternoon. Sheldon
pleaded guilty and was fined $1 and
costs, which he paid. Cashow was then
tried on a counter charge made. by
Sheldon and was found guilty and fined
37 and costs, which was paid.
About twenty cf the officers and pri-
vates of Co. K Monday evening ired
a ’bus and started for Norwalk. armory,
where Company D gave a ball to the
belles of Norwalk. The ’bus left at
7:30, says the Bridgeport Standard,
each member of the militia wearing his
large army coat, and being armed With
a tin horn, instead of the regulation
gun. To judge by the sudden flashing
of lights in the windows of honest
Southport farmers, and by the startled
expression worn by faces surmounted
by a nightcap, which were thrust from
the windows, these early retiring peo-
ple were much more afraid of the tin
horns carried by the soldiers than they
were of muskets. The members of the
party did not return until early in the
morning, after enjoying themselves
hugely.

-Patortamiliuag’rakes; Their Boy 03, not. : . '
. Hands for Jusb One Day.. I j
A. Chicago wife and mother had a
proud moment the other day. It was
the sequel to-r‘n'any humiliating occa-
sions when her husband had remon-
strated With _her concerning their in-
fant son James. Every mother will
recognize the conversations which took
place at these times. .
“Mary,” her husband would say,
glancing up from his paper, “you
shouldn’t put Jimmie off in that way.
You ought to'answer all his questions. I
You musn’t say _ ‘I don’t know.’ It
ought not to seem too much trouble to
.explain to him the' things he asks
,about.”
“Yes, Alfred,” Mary 'would say
meekly. ' ‘ . .
Having been at home all day during
the entire four. years of the infant’s ex~
istence, while her husband had seen
the child only for an hour now and
then of. an evening, Mary felt that
_much’ might be said on the question.
but' she refrained. Now, it came to
pass that one day not along ago Alfred
{announced cbndescendingly that he
was going to take a. day off and escort
"Mary and Jimmie to the fair. He felt
that he was doing a 'prodigious thing,
gand .he showed what he felt. ' Mary
Ewas properly impressed. Jimmie, too,
ievinced much joy. That morning Mary
said to her husband:
3 “Now, Alfred, I’m just going to turn
{Jimmie over to , you to-day. You an-
iswer his questions and explain things
to him.”
“All right!” exclaimed Alfred .glow-
ing with conscious virtue.
They were going down to the grounds I
3on ~_the “whaleback” steamer, and, for
{five minutes or so after starting J im-
,mie sat perfectly still, petrified
by the new experience. Alfred
was aggressively complacent. He
said that Jimmie was. a model
of good behavior; no trouble at
all. Never saw such a. quiet child; it
,couldn’t be any task at all to take care
‘of him every day and all day. Mary
:bided her time. So did Jimmie, but
not for long. Very soon, he said in
,his infantile drawl, and with a man‘
nor that was childlike and bland:
“Papa, if we should meet a whale,
how would the whale know that this -
boat wasn’t another whale?”
Alfred looked blank. _
“Why—er—why———” A pause. “Why
—-—why,” then brightening up. “Oh,
he’d see the smokestack on the back
of this whale, don’t you know? That’s
it. He’d see the smokestack.”
Jimmie waited a minute. Then—
“Papa,” he Said, “how would the
whale know that it didn’t have a
smokestack on its owu back?”
Alfred hasn't answered that question
yet, and Mary has received no further
gdvice on bringing up J immie.—-N. Y.

A WASTE‘FUL ECONOMY.
The Low-Priced Service of Many Home!
an Extravagant Item.
The first and greatest of wasteful
economiesis low-priced service. There.
by you waste not merely your substance
but yourself. The woman whose mind
is made up that she “will not pay more
than twelve dollars a month,” usually
finds life a long procession of “girls” in
the rough, who each wing away as
soon as drilled into some semblance of
efficiency. No doubt it is irritating not
to reap where you have. sown in
troublous tears,- but stop and think a
bit.' You were not wholly disinterest-
ed. You taught and trained, wrested
with ignorance, fought and overcame
sloven ways, not as » a. missionary, but
for your own sake, in the hope that
after awhile you might sit at ease amid
orderly comfort. What though it is
through your effort that your servant
is more valuable, recognize that com-
fort and peace of mind are mighty
sufficient returns on the investment,
and do not grudge her 'a few dol-
lars more. Honesty, capacity, trained
intelligence have la. distinct market
value. At the 11' best rate they ceme
much cheaper t an doctor’s bills or
months of running away from the
fiend nervous prostration. Reflect, too
that by not paying you are sole suf-
ferer. Plenty of other people will. To
the girl it is merely a change of homes.
She would be something more than
human if she did not feel and obeythe
impulse to better her condition. Put
yourself in her place and see if you
would be willing to work for less than
you could get by merely crossing the
street.
In the other case of a girl who never
outgrows the twelve-dollar stage it is
safe to say she is dear at any price.
When at last she grows intolerable
take stock of her reign. Count the
cost of her in moth and rust and sloth,
in wear and tear and breakage. and
see if beside it higher wages do not
sink out of sight. Take account also
of, nervous strain, of family jars and
bickerings whose root was in the
nether household regions, and it will
not need the bills of butcher and baker
and candlestick-maker to convince you
that your cheap servant cost you a
pretty penny. ———-Ha.rper’s Bazar.
