Men in this country are doing it every day.” “You don’t say so! manage it?” “By marrying, famous women!” How do they How It Was Becoming. “That dress is becoming, my dear,” sald the man who thinks he is a diplo- mat.

He used to stand on the hearth rugin the smoking room, says Walter Crane in his “An Artist's Reminiscenc of Robert Louis Stevenson, the center of an admiring circle, and discourse very much in the same style as that in. which he wrote. It gave one the im- pression of artificiality rather—I mean his manner of speaking and choice of words, as if carefully selected and cul- tivated. If a remark was offered by one of the company he would perhaps accept it and turn about, much as a conjurer does when he borrows a hand- kerchief or a hat from some one in his audience, or perhaps he would work it into his next sentence, returning it to his interlocutor improved—wrapped in silver paper, metaphorically speaking. His personal appearance was quite as unusual as his speech—a long, pale, thin face and lank hair, quick and pen- etrating eyes and a rather sardonie smile. The world in general, especial- ly in clubland, wore white shirts and collars as a rule, but Stevenson sported black ones. A Queer Ad. “An Italian with a piano organ was turning the handle of his machine rap- | idly, but not a note was to be heard. I stopped at once. What on earth could be the matter?’ The speaker, an advertising agent, smiled. “Finally,” he said, “I went up close to the man. “‘A breakdown? I asked. “He pointed to a small placard on the organ’s front, and I read: “‘The interior of the instrument has been removed. The relief that in con- sequence you experience is as nothing compared with that which immediate- 1y follows a dose of Sure Cure CaughJ Mixture. “It was an original ad.” the expert ended, “and I followed it up. From what the Sure Cure people told me, I found that the same ingenuity and money put in legitimate newspaper| advertising would have brought 50 per | cent more returns.” —New Orleans Times-Democrat. A Lion Tamer’s Secret. The . boarhound growled, and the great yellow lion leaped back in fear. “The lion could kill the hound,” thej trainer said, “but he doesn’t think so. He thinks the hound could easily kill him.” “Why? “When the lion was a cub this boat- hound, full grown, lived in the cage with him. The big dog could, of course, lick the little cub, and the cub therefore feared and respected him. Now the cub is grown up, but he stiil thinks the hound is the better. W¢ rear a cub with a full grown hound in this way for a reason. The hound is * protection to us trainers afterward when the cub is grown, for thien should he become rambunctious one look from the dog will send him, subdued and ashamed, slinking off to the cage’s far- thest corner.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. The Story of Zero. The word “zero” is from the Spanish and means “empty,” hence nothing. It was first used for a thermometer in 1795 by a Prussian named Fahrenheit. By experimenting with snow and salt Fahrenheit found that he could pro- duce a degree of cold equal to that of the coldest winter day. It happened that the day on which he made his final experiment was the coldest that anybody could remember, and, struck with the coincidence of his scientific discovery, he hastily concluded that he had found the lowest degree of tem- perature, either natural or artificial. He called the degree “zero” and con- structed a thermometer graduating up from zero to boiling point, which he numbered 212 and the freezing point 82, One of Three Things. Fred Jones, 2 man of no small di- menslons, was a popular conductor on the Boston and Maine railroad, making daily trips between Boston and Plym- outh. One day several years ago while collecting fares he encountered a man under the influence of liquor who would not show a ticket. After reason- ing in vain with this passenger Mr. Jones said, “Now, see here, you'll have to do one of three things—give me a ticket, pay your fare or get off and walk.” “You’ve -(hic) got to do one of three things,” was the reply—‘“eat less (hic), hoop yerself (hic) or bust.” His Nerve. Speaking of a Wall street operator, & broker said: “The man’s nerve is ame ing. It shocks me. It reminds me of money lender to whom a friend o mine, a great rider to hounds, once re- sorted. ““Yes,” said the mone,’ lender, to my embarrassed friend, ‘I will renew your note,- but only on one condition, sir— namely, that during the nest paper chase at Lenox you scatter from your bag these 5,000 pink slips bearing my name and the words, “Money advanced on easy terms.” Is it a go, sir?'” The Alternative. A Frenchman applied to a local offi- clal for a passport to visit Klatter- wingschen, in Switzerland. The func- tionary, who was not a fellow of any geographical society, studied in vain with the spelling of the place’s name. | Then, unwilling to confess his difficul- ty, he blandly asked, “Would you as Hef visit some other town?” i Hopeful Gleam. Mrs. Becky—Dear, oh, dear, my cold’s getting worse and worse! I'm getting so I can’t talk. I wonder what I'd better do? Mr. Becky (absently)—For goodness’ sake, don’t do anything!— Some -men dress quietly and others loge thefr collar buttons.—Dallas News. ! Gave It Up, A friend of the writer recently made application 1 publie appolntment fix o small & b town, and, thinking that his ¢ of success would be greater 1 le judiclous canvass- Ing, he resolved to eall upon a few of the town councilors, in whose hands the appointment Iny. Of the civie dig- itavies' position in private life he Tourneying to the town ired a cab at the rail- 4 roquested the jehu to take him to Councilor Bisset's, the treasurer. 'The councilor was found in his blacksmith's shop shoeing a horse, “I'll see somebedy of more impor- tance than this, anyhow,” said the can- didate to himself, and, turning to the driver, he said, “Drive me to Councilor Maitland's office.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local joiner's slhop. This was worse even than the smithy, and in despair he ejaculated: “Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir,”” replied the cabman. The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare and disap- peared, resolved to leave his fate in their hands without prejudicing them in any way in his favor. — London Standard. When Life Was Little Valued. The 223 capital offenses which the old English law recognized as punish- able by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes but murder crime in England, as well as every- where else all over the world where the death penalty has been modified, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Traveler. Edmond Burke said that he could in his time obtain the assent of the house of commons to any bill that car- ried the death punishment. A man’s life was not very valuable in those strenuous days. If he scratch- e his name on Westminster bridge, if he wore a wig or false mustache or any other disguise on a public road, if he cut down a young tree, if he stole property worth more than $1.25, if he had been transported for crime and re- turned a day ahead of the expiration of his term of punishment, if he wrote a threatening letter, if he stole a hide from a tanner’s, for any and all of these things and for 200 more than these he was hanged by the neck until he was dead. Loading Freight by Cards. “I don’t know whether the practice is still kept up in the far south, but I remember how tickled I was at seeing the method used In loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some while ago,” said a railroad man of St. Louis. “A lot of strapping black fellows will be on the job under the supervision of a white man, who will be issuing or- ders with great volubility. ‘Put this aboard the king of diamonds; take this to the ace of hearts; load this on the ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs, and so on, and then you’ll notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tacked on it some one of the fifty-two cards composing a full deck. The Sen- egambian loafers for the most part were ignorant of letters and figures, but every man of them knew the paste- board emblems which he had often handled in games of seven up. That next to craps is the chief diversion of the colored sports of Dixie.”—Balti- more American. Crusl Spring. The talk in the village hostelry had been on the subject of vegetable freaks, but at length 1t veered round to goats. “Did ever you keep a goat, Bill?" Inquired a gray whiskered gentleman in a corner seat. “Did I ever!” answered the littie man addressed with rustic familiarity. “I bought one last Christmas what mearly brought me to the work’us. Eat anything, from tins o’ blackin' to flatirons, that goat would. Lucky thing for me the spring killed it.” “I didn’t know the seasons affected goats,” observed the gray whiskered gentleman. “Who's talkin’ about seasons?” came the Teply. “It was the spring of our alarm clock what ’e made a meal of one day as done it!"—London Express. Generally the Case. “I wish you would mention this to Jinks. It is highly important.” “I'll mention it to him today.” “But how do you know you will see him today ?” “I'm bound to bump into him. I owe him money.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press. No Mercy. 5 Mistress—Sarah Jane, what has hap- pened? Sarah Jane—Oh, mum, I've fallen down the stairs and broken my neck!

Preparing For Dinner, One of the residents of the town of Idvor was noted for his parsimony. ‘| Let us call him Mr. Wiggles. There ‘was an_old major in Idvor who sald to his valet one evening, ‘Go and tell the cook to get me ready a chop and a poached egg.” ‘“Pardon me, major,” said the valet, “but have you forgotten that you are dining with Mr. Wiggles tonight?” - The major frowned. “Yes,” he saild, “I had forgotten It.
