He who invests money in an inn thinks he will "get more out of it. A patient man can win the admira- tion of any woman—except his own wife. When Adam discovered that he was shy of clothes he put on his thinking cap. Step ladders and alarm clocks have helped lots of people to get up in the world. You may say what you please, but it pays better to say what pleases other people. About the surest way to keep-your name before the public is to get it inscribed on a tombstone, Nothing jolts the average man quite so hard as the attempts ot a homely woman to flirt with him. When a man tries to unlock his front door with a'fountain pen at 2a. m., there’s another brain storm brew- g, The energy a small boy expends in a ball game would cultivate an acre of potatoes if attached to the end of a hoe handle. One of Them. A forelgn tourlst who had recelved permission to visit one of our large asylums for the Insane was surprised at the neatness, quietude and good or- der that prevalled within the institu- ¢/ tion. He asked If it was always like that, and the polite attendant who was showing bim through the bulldings sald It was. “We have what we call our violent wards, of course, but I presume you ‘would not care to see these.” “I think not.” “It 18 just as well, perhaps. They are rather mnoisy, although, of course, we exerclse the same care in providing for the welfare of the Inmates that you eee In this part of the Institution. We also have a sectlon where we keep the ‘Incurables.’” “These Inmates, then, are considered curable.” “Thelr cases are at least hopeful.” “I am greatly Interested,” sald the visitor, “but I will not take up any more of your time. You have other dutles to attend to, have you not?” “Yes, sir. This 1s merely one of my recreations. In one of the rooms In She mein bullding I am engaged dur- ing most of the time in pursulng what may be called my life work.” “Your life work? May I ask what that 1s?” “Haven't you heard?’ sald the at- tendant, In a tone of astonishment. “I am complling an index to Webster’s dlc- tionary.”—Youth’s Companion, For Shakespeare's Sake. There is something remarkably at- tractive for an actress In the rolling cadences of the Bard of Avon, and I do not wonder that so many players dream of playing his work. I think it was in Los Angeles some years ago that a young actor who was then be- coming popular decided that the time ‘was ripe for him to do Hamlet. What his mental process was in arriving at this decision I have of course no means of knowing, but an apocryphal anecdote was told of him the morning after his first appearance as the mel- ancholy Dane. It seems a friend ap- proached him and said: “How do you feel this morning?” “I have falled to get my whole mean- ing into the character. I shall never play Hamlét again,” was the reply. “Oh, but you must play the part once again,” remonstrated the frlend. _“And why?” asked the young actor despondently. “Shakespeare turned over in his cof- fin last night. You will have to do 1t once again, for you can't leave the poor chap In that position,” sald the friend. —Eleanor Robson in Bohemian, Wanted Permanent Employment. Old Sam had been for several days patiently sitting on the bank of the Rappahannock river near the dam, holding his shotgun in his hand. Finally he attracted the attentlon of a passerby, who asked, “Well, Uncle Sam, are you looking for something to do?” “No, sah,” answered Sam. tin’ pald fo’ what I's doin’.” “Indeed!” answered the stranger. “And what may that be?” “Shootin’ de muskrats dat am under- minin’ de dam,” answered Sam. “Well, there goes one now!” exclaim- ed the stranger excltedly, “Why don’t you shoot?” “S'pose I wants to lose my job, sah?’ answered Sam complacently.— Lippincott's Magazine. Racing at Ascot. Raclng at Ascot dates back a great aumber of years, and It is recorded that Queen Anne was the first royal person- age to patronize the fixture, in 1711. The first and second Georges were not “I's get- -~ | great patrons of the turf, but they bred race horses on a large scale In order to encourage their subjects, and George I1I. gave a plate of 100 guineas to be competed for. Ever since those times the great annual festival on the famous Berkshire heath has met with royal favor. Study of Man. The only school for the study of human nature is the world. The only text books are the works of men like Shakespeare, Hugo, Cervantes, Sterne and other students who learned In that school. But the effectual study of human nature demands from the student a vast fund of love and sym- pathy. You will never get admitted Into the heart of a fellow creature un- less you go as a friend.—Robert Blatch- ford in Clarion. Finance. The agreeable visitor, says Judge, smiled upon the son of the house and sald: “Willie, if you recite that poem your mother taught you I'll give you a penny.” “Not likely! I can get a nickel any- where for not reciting It,” Willie re- plled. Looked Suspicious. “Somehow I'm leary of Tompkins.” “Why s0?”" . “He's so polite.” “What's that got to do with 1t?” “I'm always afraid he’s stringing me.”—Mlilwaukee Sentinel. Demonstration.

The girl jumped at my proposal and upset the boat.—Harper's Weekly. ) All the Difference. “Society dropped the De Lacys be- cause they had a skeleton In thelr closet, I understand?” “No—because they didn't keep It there.”—Cleveland Leader.

It appears that some stewardesses on the best liners running between Liverpool and New York make from £20 to £30 per month. The average tip varies from 10 shillings to the modest half crown, although occasionally five pound notes change hands. “It is quite true,” says a stewardess in a London paper, “that ladles are not nearly so generous as gentlemen. I worked like a slave one trip, night and day, wait- ing upon an exacting millionaire’s wife and children, but they left the ship without giving me even ‘Thank you. 1 know one stewardess, though, who received £25 as a tip from one of the Vanderbilts, who had his servant standing by him with a satchel of sov- ereigns, from which all the stewards and other attendants recelved some- thing. The most generous people are military and eclvil officers homeward bound from India. Sometimes a rich gentleman passenger falls in love with a stewardess and marries her. But fortunes from tips are rarely made, al- though a comfortable competency 18 frequently secured in this way.” Ma s of the World, Simple words, short maxims, homely truths, old sayings, are the masters of the world. Great reformations, great revolutions in soclety, great eras in hu- man progress and improvement, start from good words, right words, sound words, spoken In the fitting time, and finding their way to human hearts as easily as the birds find their homes.— D.

AR o The' Landlady’s View. “They say a carrier pigeon will go farther than any other bird,” said the boarder between bites. ““Well, I'll have to try one,” sald the lrnndludy. “I notice a fowl doesn’t go lar.” Good In Everything. The late Sir Wilfred Lawson, well known es an English temperance re- former a8 well as a wit, invariably took a cheerful view of life and con- duct. In conversation with him one day an ardent person ralled forcibly against the practice of christening vessels with champagne before being launched. Bir Wilfred did not alto- gether agree and said a good temper- ance lesson might be learned from the practice. “How can that be? demanded the other, “Well,” replied the baronet, “after the first taste of wine the ship takes to water and sticks to it ever after.” The Rivals. “My work,” remarked the baldhead- ed dentist, “Is so painless that my pa- tlents often fall asleep in the chair while I am operating.” “Hum! That’s nothing,” retorted his rival. “My patients nearly all insist on having their pictures taken while I am at work in order to catch the expres- slon of delight on thelr faces.”—Lon- don Express. POLICE ARE BAFFLED Another Brutal Hurder of Little Girl in New York City. SERIES OF ATROCIOUS DEEDS Authorities Inclined to Belleve That a Maniac ls at Large Who Is Pos- sessed of an Insane Impulse to Kill ‘Women and Children, New York, Aug. 2—The excitement caused in this city by the recent atro- clous crimes against women and chil- dren was greatly increased during the day by the discovery of the body of an eight-year-old girl in the cellar of an East Side tenement. The child had been ussaulted and then murdered. There were marks on the throat indi- cating that perhaps the little one was strangled. The body of the child found was identified as that of Katie Dritch- ler, the daughter of a German waiter. She had been missing from her home in East Thirteenth street since one week ago. The body was found in the cellar of the tenement house at 203 First avenue, only a block distant from the child’s home. It was lying on a strawberry crate, where it ap- parently had been placed several days ago, and its condition revealed the frightful treatment to which the child had been subjected. The suspicion that the child was ohoked to death, taken in connection with the murder of Sophie Kohrer and of an unidentified woman by strangula- tion, leads the police to believe that there is a maniac at large in the city who is possessed of an insane impulse to kill women and children by the same methods. An examination of the body showed that the Dritchler child was killed in exactly the same manner as Sophie Kohrer was murdered. Deeply imbed- ded In the flesh of her neck was found a hair ribbon, probably taken from her own hair, drawn tightly and knotted. CANNOT DODGE SUIT. Transfer of Assets of Powder Com- pany Will Be of No Avalil, ‘Washington, Aug. 2.—The depart- ment of justice has issued the follow- ing explanation regarding the suit re- cently filed against the so-called pow- der trust: “Under the laws of Delaware the stockholders of a corporation can bring about its dissolution by filing their unanimous consent with the sec- retary of state. This Is what was done by the E. I Dupont De Nemours Powder company of Delaware, which 18 one of the three operating com- panies in the alleged powder trust. The dissolution of a company does not, however, under the laws of Dela- ware prevent it from being sued, neither does it prevent a receiver be- ing appointed. “The Christian names of five or six of the many individual defendants were unknown to the department on July 30 and these will be inserted by amendment of the petition. “The department has been informed that there had been a transfer of the assets of the dissolved company prior to its proceedings in dissolution. If so it may be necessary when the bill is amended to bring in whatever con- cern may have taken over the assets as an additional p: n NELSON IS DEFEATED. Britt Gets Decision In Twenty-Round Fight. San Francisco, Aug. 2—Jimmy Britt of San Francisco gained the de- cision over Battling Nelson of Hege- wisch, IIl, at the end of twenty rounds of as fast and pretty a fight as has been seen in San Francisco in many years. At no time was either man in danger of a knockout until near the end of the last round, when Britt’s right and left swings and uppercuts, which he landed one after another at will on Nelson’s face, all but put the Dane down and out. Nelson did the greater part of the leading from start to finish, but he was outdone by Britt In cleverness, ring generalship and everything but gameness and ability 1o take punishment, Refaree Welch, after announcing his decision, gave Nelson only two rounds out of the twenty—the second and the seventh.
