It was late when George returned,

He put the dishes away, locked up

Whe he had gone half a block he re-

Many are the stories still told by

Moore the celebrated English drum-
mer's determination to get orders. He
would not be denied, says Samuel
Smites. If refused at first, he resorted
to all sorts of expedients until he suc-
ceeded.
On one occasion he sold the clothes
off his back to get an order. A tena-
cious draper in a Lancashire town re-
fused to deal with him. The draper
was (juite satisfied with the firm that
supplied him. and he would make no
change. This became known amongst

wore, asked. "What bethought of it?"
"It's a capital coat." said the draper.
"Yes, first-rate; made in the best
style by a first-rate London tailor."
The draper looked at it again, and
again admired it.
"Why," said George, "you are

to you."
"What's the price?"
"Twenty-five shillings."
" What? that's very cheap."
"Yes, it's a great bargain."
"Then I'll buy it," f-aid the draper.
George weut back to his hotel,

1. The most common is, perhaps,
over-eating. A physician lately said:
"Most persons eat four-times as much
as they should."
The proportion seems very large, but
an eminent British physician of a former
generation said almost the same thing,
— that one fourth of what w e eat goes to
sustain life, while three-fourths go to
imperil it. Another physician wittily

much apathy on the part of the public,

At last a gentleman tendered a sov-

chill through the form of the repentant
man.
"Jl is like death!" said bo. Oh,

He again returned to the piano and
played the piece his wife |u\ed v well,
ami again grief overcame him. Heavy
sobs rent his heart, and leaning upon
the instrument, he allowed the tears to
flow unchecked.
A pale face looked in at the open
