PALMER DENTIST Miles Block Evening;Work by Appointment Only Submitted to the Touch. “1 suppose all of us have our little vanities,” says James Hamilton Lew- is of Chicago. *“When I was a mem- ber of congress I was called out into the corridor by a stranger who asked, ;:s this Colonel James Hamilton Lew- 2 “‘Plain Mr. Lewis, at your service,’ 1 replied. “‘Well, Mr. Lewis,” he replied, ‘I was 80 struck with a speech you made in the house last week that I went to the document room to get a copy for my- self and for another friend. They charge five cents for a copy, and I haven't a cent of change. Can you let me have the money to buy two coples? “Now, I had not made any speech, and they do not charge five cents nor any cents at all-in the document room: but I gave him the dime he wanted, and reproached myself afterward for my stinginess. Such an artist at flat- tery ought to have had a quarter, at least.”—Chicago Record-Herald. »How Romans Took Their Food. The Romans reclined at their ban- quets on couches, all supporting them- selves on one elbow and eating with their fingers from dishes placed in the center of the table. Each was sup- plied with a napkin, and knives were used, though it does not appear that every one was supplied with one. Nothing, it would seem, could be more fatiguing than to partake of a repast In such an awkward posture or less conductive to neatness, it being almost Impossible to keep the hands clean even with water supplied by the slaves or to prevent the food and wine from falling on the clothing and the draper- les of the couch. This manner of eat- ing disappeared during the dark ages so far as the couch was concerned, but the peculiarity of taking food with the fingers from a common dish con- tinued afterward for more than 1,000 years. He Wanted to Know. There was a small crowd at the soda counter when a tall man rushed in and pushed an empty bottle over the drug counter. “Acid!” he whispered, excitedly. “Ten cents’ worth of acid, and quick!” The soda water crowd began to sit up and take notice. “What's he going to do with that acid?’ demanded one. “It's a secret,” answered the drug clerk, othing unusual, I hope.” “Well, rather.” “What! You mean to say he is go- fog to take that acid?” “Oh, no! Listen. There is a silver wedding at his house tonight, and he I8 golng to test the presents as fast as his friends bring them in.” And then and there they voted him the meanest man in, town.—Chicago News. The Inspiring Bagpipes. It was at a seaside resort, and along the board walk came marching a band of highland bagpipers in full costume. They were tremendous fellows, but their musie, to my untutored ears, was ke the squealings of forty stuck pigs. Yet I have never heard strains to com- pare with theirs for arousing a desire to die for one’s country. 1 think bag- plpe music must have been fashioned back in the old days by some demon of perversity out of the whistle of ar- rows, the clash of claymores, the neigh- ing of war steeds and the shrieks of the dying. When I hear it I think of the wheel of fortune, the car of Jug- gernaut, the mills of the gods and the inquisitorial rack and screw. It whirls along with a ecyclonic rhythm that sets the feet to tramping and the blood to boiling.—Robert M. Gay in At- lantie, A Scandal Spoiled. “Of course he and his wife seem de- voted to each other now,” said the jealous Miss Gaussip, “but do you think she will always be so true and all that?” “Well,” replied Miss Kidder, “I have reason to know that only last night he had occasion to set a trap for her.” “Ah! Do you know, I suspected something”— “They more than suspected. They knew there were mice in the house.”— Philadelplia Press. The Lamp of a ’s Life. Dr. Holmes said the lamp of a man’s life has three wicks—brain, blood and breath—and to turn down any one of them makes the other two go out. The wounds a man will survive and even disregard so long as his head, heart and lvngs are unhurt have long been one of the wonders of war his- tory. The Burden of Golf.

The Danger. “It is always dangerous to try to get something for nothing,” remarbed the wise guy. “Yes, you might get what you de- serve,” added the simple mug.—Phil adelphia Record. - pocuous.’t Antiquity of Shorthand. Bhorthand is apt to be luoked upon as an essentially modern art. The'| predecessors of Pitman—Byrom in the eighteenth century, Mason In the sev- enteenth—are dim and distant figures beyond which it seems useless to ven- ture. Cicero dictated his orations to his freedman, T. Tullius Tiro, and was inconsolable when temporarily deptiv- ed of his services, He complained in a letter to a friend that, while “Tiro takes down whole phrases in a few signs, Spintharus (his provisional sub- stitute) only writes in syllables.” We need mnot, however, suppose that the “notae Tironianae” were actually in- vented by the freedman in question. As M. Guenin points out, the Romans created very few of the arts of peace, contenting themselves, as a rule, by copying from the Greeks. M. Guenin, however, indicates the banks of the Nile as the cradle of the art.—T. P.'s London Weekly. A Benevolent Censor. A trio of young ladies spent some weeks last year at an out of the way village in the mountain region. They found the village postmaster a quaint old character, whose ways were as ori- ginal as they were startling, so that the daily trip to the postoffice became a real event. “Is there any mail for us, major?’ asked one of the young ladies as she appeared at the window one morning. *“No; they ain't a thing for you all this mawnin’, Miss Mary,” was the re- ply. “They wasn’t nothin’ come for you but a letter that looked like adver- tisin’, an’ so I opened it, and sure enough it was jest some advertisement about somethin’ or other, and I says to myself, says I, ‘Now, Miss Mary don’t want to tote such stuff ag that home with her,’ and so I throwed it in the waste box.”—Youth’s Companion. Snuff and a Crook. Robert Pinkerton once told a story of his father, the founder of the de- tective agency, which illustrates the elder Pinkerton’s caution. A noted criminal was detained In Pinkerton’s Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton left the room and when he returned took the precaution of holding a re- volver in front of him ready for use. He saw the criminal standing by the door with a snuffbox he had picked up from Pinkerton’s desk in his hand. “This is good snuff,” affably re- marked the crook as he took a sniff. “For the eyes or the nose?” asked Pinkerton, who knew that the crook had intended to blind him in an effort to escape. “Well,” remarked the criminal, “I'm sorry to say that the nose gets it this time.” ! Appius Claudius. Appius Claudius, surnamed Caecus (the blind), was a Roman statesman who lived during the third century be- fore the Christian era. He wasa Ro- man censor, 312 to 308, and consul, 307 to 206. He commenced the Ap- plan way and completed the Appian aqueduct. From his Roman juris- prudence, oratory, grammar and Latin prose date their beginning. He abol- ished the lmitation of the full right of citizenship to landed proprietors. In his old age he is said to have be- come blind, whence his cognomen “Caecus”” He was the author of works in both prose and Verse, of which almost nothing is known. No Pure Water. Owing to the extremely solvent pow- ers, pure water is never found in na- ture, the nearest approach being found in rainwater, which,as it is formed in the upper regions of the atmosphere, is the purest that nature supplies, but in descending it brings with it what- ever impurities are floating near the surface, which in the neighborhood of cities are always numerous; hence per- fectly pure water is hardly to be found, even the artificlally distilled being only approximately so. Where to Begin. “Look here,” gald the reforming hus- band; “we must have things arranged in this house so that we shall know Just where everything is kept.” “With all my heart,” sweetly an- swered his wife, “and let us begin with your late hours, my love. I should very much like to know where they are kept.”—Stray Stories. A Boomerang. “Call that art!” exclaimed a would be critie, pointing to a painting in a studio. “If that daub is a work of art, then I'm an idiot!” “The latter part of your statement,” rejoined the artist calmly, “would seem to furnish conclusive proof that it is a work of art.” Rivals. She—John is a very considerate sort of fellow, isn't he? He (the rival)— Oh, yes, very! He has that keen tact and loving sympathy which a chauf- feur displays toward a helpless crip- ple.—~Life. Blank Verse. Poet—You published a poem of mine last week. . You pay according to the kind of verse, don't you? Editor—Yes. George, give the gentleman a blank check.—Judge. A Good Reason. “What makes you think, sir, that 1 _will not be able to support your daugh- ter?” “Well, T haven’t been able to my- self.” Tightly Tied. “That man’s moaoey Is all tied up.” _“Poor fellow: Can't get at It, eh?" “Oh, yes. All he has to do Is to untle his money bag.”~Judge. The Serpent’s Venom. A physician while talking with a group of friends remarked: “It iscom- mon to hear people speak about poi- sonous serpents. Serpents are never poisonous; - they are venomous. A poison cannot be taken internally with- out bad effects; a venom can. Venoms to be effective have to be Injected di- rectly into the circulation, and this is the manner in which the snake Kkills. Their venom taken internally is in- (S Healthy children gleep soundly.

Price, 26c., sold by druggists every- Wwhere and by Facts About Giants. That very few-of the giants who have ever lived have been healthy or well formed recent researches prove beyond a doubt. All we know about Goliath is that he was very tall, but in the second book of Kings we read about another glant. who had more fingers than an ordinary human being, and, according to modern scientists, this is Invariably a token of degen- eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a glant who was so tall that his body filled two beds at night, but whose legs were so weak that he could hard- Iy stand upright. William Evans, the gigantic porter of Charles L, had little strength, and Cromwell’s porter, an- other giant, ended his days In a luna- tic asylum. Finally, O’Brien, the Irish giant, has been described as “an enor- mous sick child who grew up too fast.” Another Fake. “Did you see the ‘lightning calcu- lator' in the sideshow?” asked the old farmer in the wide straw hat. “By heck, yes,”” drawled the other ruralite, “and he was the biggest fake in the show.” “How was that?” “Why, thar was a thundergiorm go- ing on while 1 was in the tent and when I asked him if he could calculate where the lightning was going to strike he just gave me the laugh.”—C.icago News. An Ominous Symptom. “A good wife is heaven’s greatest gift to man and the rarest gem the earth holds,” remarked Mr. Jarphly the other morning. “She Is his joy, his Inspiration and his very soul. Through her he learns to reach the pure and true, .and her loving hands lead him softly over the rough places She is"— “Jeremiah,” said Mrs. Jarphly sol emnly — “Jeremiah, what wickedness have you been up to now?” In negro households, especially in communities where negroes form a large portion of the population, It fre- quently happens that the woman is the head of the family, being not only the breadwinner. but also the discipli- narian, and in that capaclty on occa- slons she regards her putative lord and master as subject to her will. ‘This at least was the assumption of the col- ored woman who was a party to a lit- tle scene enacted In the office of a jus- tice of the peace. A man had been arrested on the charge of beating and cruelly misus- ing his wife. After hearing the charge against the prisoner the justice turned to the first witness, “Madam,” he said, “if this man were your husband and had given you a beating would you call in the police?” The woman addressed. a veritable amazon in size and aggressiveness, turned a smiling countenance toward the justice and answered: “No, jedge. If he was mah husban® an’ he treated me lak he did ’is wife Ah wouldn’t call no pliceman. No, sah; Ab'd call de undertaker.” Youth’s Companion. Flexibility of English. English is not only, as Richard Jef- feries asserted, the most expressive and flexible of tongues, but also, in Swinburne’s opinion, the most musl- cal. He proclaimed the lines— Music that gentller on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes to be unmatched for melody in any language. And few would venture to contradict such a master of music and tongues. But surely French ranks next on the roll of languages. For clearness of diction it is unrivaled, and, thanks to its abundance of vow- els (close on one for every consonant) it flowes rhythmically from the tongue. Against Westley’s dictum, that French is to German as a bagpipe to an or- gan, may be cited a saying of another famous divine, Dr. Dollinger, “L’Alle- mand n’est pas une langue, mais ceux qui parlent ce jargon se comprennent entre eaux” (German is not a lan- guage, but those who speak this jar- gon understand one another).—London Chronicle.
