This was his third offense. The Gentle Rebuff. “Immeasurable are the rebuffs that the helpers of the poor, the seekers after charity for their suffering broth- ers undergo,” said a New York charity organization official. “A friend of mine, a Methodist minister in a small western town, told me the other day of his last rebuff, a not unkind one. Entering the office of the local weekly. the minister said to the editor: ‘T am soliciting aid for a gentleman of refinement and intelligence who is in dire need of a little ready. money. but who is far too proud a man tc make his sufferings known.” “‘Why,” exclaimed the editor, push- ing up his eyeshade, ‘I'm the only chap in the village who answers that de- scription. What’s this gentleman’s name?”’ ““1 regret,’ said the minister, ‘that I am not at liberty to disclose it.” “‘Why, it must be me,’ said the ed- ftor. ‘It is me. It's me, sure. Heaven prosper you, parson, in your good work.”” 5 - The Force of Habit. A certain accountant is'so devoted to his profession that when he has noth-. 1ng else to do he casts up his eyess -| with' their mouths which their eyes Life In Christiania, Many of the residences of Christiania stand villa-like in the midst of preity gardens, which in summer are full of bloom and give the streets a pecullar charm and sense of openness. Within. the people live simple, wholesome lives, kindly and hosplitable, with that truest hospitality which invites the guest to share in good cheer without ostentation or dlsplay. Dinner is at 3 or 4 o'clock, served by trim, fresh looking maids, and supper at 8, where, except on form- al occasions, the guest is free to forage around the table for himself. Host and hostess drink the health of each guest with the word “skaal,” replied to by the eyes over the glass after drink- ing. Adjourning to the drawing room, the guests thank both master and mis- tress of the house, and on the next meeting never fail to say, “Thanks for the last time.” One is everywhere struck by the frank and unaffected sim- plicity of the life and the straightfor- ward kindliness of the people.—H. H. D. Peirce in Atlantic, _— Dread of Marble Portraits. “One peculiarity of human nature that 1 am reminded of daily,” sald a sculptor, “is the disinclination of the average man to 100k upon himself re- produced in marble. The sight strikes him with positive dread. It makes him feel as if he were looking on his own lifeless body. For that reason It is difficult to persuade many persons worth modeling to sit for a sculptor. Frequently I am asked why most of my work is modeled after dead and gone subjects. The answer is that liv- ing people refuse to give me a commis- slon. The art of the sculptor differs there from that of the painter. Every- body likes to be painted. The sight of one’s face, one’s figure, one’s clothes, In a plcture evokes nothing but pleasura- ble emotions if well done, but to see oneself carved out of marble produces such an overpowering sense of death that many sensitive persons put off im- mortalization at the hands of a sculp- tor until they are really dead.”—New York Press. His Brothers. At the usual monthly petty sessions court held in a certain provincial town some weeks ago the following incident occurred: One of the local police constables had summoned a neighboring farmer on a charge of “having a number of asses wandering at will on the public road.” The defendant failed to appear, but his brother was present in the person of the clerk of petty sessions, who on hearing the sentence of the presiding magistrate, “Fined 2s. 2d. and costs,” rose to the occasion by replying: “They're my brother’s, your worship. I'll pay the fine.” He was shocked when his becoming exhibition of fraternal love for the asses was rewarded with an outburst of laughter.—London Graphic. Where the Shoe Pinched. It was easy for Mr. Randall to bear with his wife’s remarkable decision of character at all times, but her obstl- nacy he found most difficult to endure. “I can’t quite comprehend her,” he confided to his brother after one try- ing experience. “Many years as we have been married, she still surprises me. Why, all in the same day, some- times In the same hour, she will settle a disturbance in the kitchen, put the children just where they belong, adjust some matter in the church and then, when her judgment ought to be at its best, display the most astounding ob- stinacy In attempting to regulate my goings out or comings in. It's—it's In- comprehensible.” Moslem Prayer Rugs. Prayer rugs were evidently invented for the purpose of providing the wor- shipers with one absolutely clean place on which to offer prayers. It is not lawful for a Moslem to pray on any place not perfectly clean, and unless each one has his own special rug he 18 not certaln that the spot has nof been polluted. It does not matter to these followers of Mohammed how unclean a rug that-is on the floor may |- be, because over it they place the prayer rug when their devotions begin. An Eye Experiment. The two eyes really see two objects. If the two forefingers be held, one at ‘the distance of one foot, the other two feet in front of the eyes, and the for- mer be looked at, two phantoms of the latter will be observed, one on each slde. If the latter figure be regarded, two phantoms of the nearest finger will be observed mounting guard, one on either side. Answered. Two ministerial candidates named Adam and Low preached in a Scottish church. Mr. Low preached -in the morning and took for his text, “Adam, where art thou?” He made a most excellent discourse, and the congregation was much edi- fied. In the evening Mr. Adam preach- ed and took for his text, “Lo, here 1 am!” His Economy. Father—It’s only fair to-tell you that P'm pleased with your, economy this term. Your requests for money were too frequent last term. Son—Yes, fa- ther, I thought so, too, so this term I've had everything on tlck.—London Tit-Bits. Lucky. Smith—Just missed running down an old lady with my auto. Jones—Bah Jove, you're a lucky dog! Smith— Bure. I just had it painted last week. —Chlcago News. Little Food. Student—Something is preying on my mind. Professor W.—It must be very hungry.—Yale Record. Found the Set. This story is told by a man who dis- likes nothing so”much as to be asked questions: “My little girl is very fond of sea. shells,” he said, “and, having been called to Atlantic City on business one day, 1 took advantage of the oppor- tunity to run down to the beach to see £ I could pick up a few. I was stroll- ing along the sand, gathering a few dhells and-pebbles, which I placed in ‘my handkerchief, when along came one of those old idiots who ask questions could answer. He smiled upon me and sald: ‘Fine day, isn't it? Are you gathering shells?" “‘No, T snapped back, saying the first thing that popped into my mind; T'm looking for a set of faise teeth I lost while in bathing.’ “He expressed his sympathy. and then his face lit up as his eye caught sight of a pink and white object on the sand. ‘Well, I declare! Here they are now!' he exclaimed, and, sure enough, he picked up a set of false teeth lying right at his feet. I was too surprised to do anything but grab them and put them In my pocket. The fun- ny part of It is that I never had a tooth pulled fn my life. 1 wonder whom that false set belongs to.”—Philadelphia Record. He Believed the Boy. A judge was explaining to a young student friend the intricacies of evi dence. He lllustrated well the case of conflicting evidence—how when the statements of two witnesses are op. posed the more probable statement is to be accepted. 5 “Usually In conflicting evidence,” he sald, “one statement is far more proba- ble than the other, so that we can-de— cide easily which to belleve. It is like the boy and the house hunter. A house hunter, getting off a train at a sub. urban station, said to a boy: “‘My boy, I am looking for Mr. Smithson’s new block of semidetached cottages. How far are they from here.’ “‘About a twenty minutes’ walk,’ the boy replied. “‘Twenty minutes!’ exclaimed the house hunter. ‘Nonsense! The adver- tisement says five.’ “‘Well, said the boy, ‘you can be lleve me or you can believe the adver. tisement, but I ain’t tryin’ to make no sale’ "—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Dish of Tea. In reference to a note about a “dish of tea,” it may be mentioned that “dish” throughout the eighteenth cen- tury was a colloquialism for cup. In fashionable houses at first, and for long, tea was drunk from a cup with- out a handle brought from China. The vessel was termed a dish. When the Chinese cup was first copied by Eng- lish potters, the convenience of a han- dle was added. The saucer also was brought from China. It received the name because of its resemblance to the English saucer, a platter in which {sauce was served. The familiar gibe, “saucer eyes,” was originally inspired by the sauce saucer long before Lord Arlington gave the first tea party in England in Arlington House, where Buckingham palace stands, at the Res- toration period.—London Chronicle. Destructive Music. A member of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Opera House tells a story that he had from one of the musicians attached to the orchestra there. It appears that a friend of the wife of the musician had during a call on the latter inquired as to the hus- band’s taste in musical matters. Among other things she wanted to know what operas the musician ilked best to play. “I don’t know much about dot,” said the better half, who was at the time busily engaged in darning an old shirt, “but I do know somet’ings. Voteffer he likes I like not dos Wagner operas. Dey sounds vell enough, but dose clothes—ach! He neffer yet comes home from dot Wagner opera dot he haf not torn a place in his poor old shirts. I brefer the Italian operas.” A Dangerous Feat. For a feat of dexterity and nerve it would be difficult to surpass that of the Bosjesman of South Africa, who walks quietly up to a puff adder and deliberately sets his bare foot on its neck. In its struggles to escape and attempts to bite its assailant the poi- son gland secretes a large amount of the venom. This is just what the Bosjesman ‘- wants. Killing the snake, he eats the body and uses the poison for his arrows. Where Ma Was Strict. Little Girl-My mamma is awful strict. Is yours? Little Boy—Orful. Little Girl—But she lets you go any- where you want to and— Little Boy— Oh, she ain't strict with me. Little Girl-Then who Is she strict with? Little Boy—Pa. Wasteful. Grasper (a very careful man)—No, I should never allow my daughter to marry a journalist. He always wastes one side of the paper. And still less should she wed a poet. He doesn’t even go to the end of the line. _ Suited the Case. Tom—Here! You've started your note to Borroughs “Dr. Sir” Don’t you know that sort of abbreviation is very slovenly? Dick—No, sir. “Dr.” is all right in this case. He owes me mon- ey.—Kansas City Independent. Result of Early Training. Cobwigger—In what way does New- rich show that he isn’t a gentleman? Merritt—By paying cash for everything he buys.—Tailor. Just praise is only a debt, but flattery is a present.--French Proverb.
