In front of a confectioner’s shep in Paris there used to sit a womum with two wooden legs. She sold pictures and songs and played well on tke vio- lin. In 184S she was there, very pretty and dressed with a good deal of taste, and when Louis Napoleon, then mere- ly Prince Louis, used to go through the street nearly every day. he never passed without giving her something. She knew him and was also aware of his pecuniary embarrassments and his political ambitiors. One evening she said to bim. “Monsieur, I want to say a word to you.” “Say it. madame.” s “They tell me that you are a good deal cramped just now. I have at my house a comfortable sum which is earping nothing. Let me offer it to you. You will return the favor when you are emperor.” Prince Louix did not accept the mon: ey. but he did not forget the kindness, and when he became emperor he offer- ed ber a small annuity. The woman was as independent as she was gener- Mr. and Mrs. A. P. White, Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Marcum and Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Terrance. In the even- ing bridge will be played.

The famous Jobn Mytton once gal- loped full speed over a rabbit warren *‘to try whether or not his horse would furs were shipped to the state game and fish commission at St. Paul and Craig was taken before Judge Zaffke at Backusand fined ten dollars. Two unique features will charac- terize a Hallowe’en social to be .given by the Christian Endeavor society at the Presbyterian church, next Monday evening. The Hal- lowe’en feature will be novel as will also the method of serving lunch. No charge is to be made but the food is to be served on the dairy lunch plan which means that every one will help himself and pay accordingly. Many interesting stunts have been provided for. the evening. Two cub bears were shot and kill- ed in Clearwater county not far from Bagley a few days ago by W. C. Huff and A. O, Thompson. The first cub had strayed away from its mother and was brought down with one shot. Later, a second cub was seen with the female and it, too, was shot but as it was nearly dark the animal was left where it fell. —The men went back in the morning to get the second cub when they found that the old bear, which had escaped be- cause of the darkness of the night before, had “‘beat them to it” and carried off her dead offspring, fall.” The horse did fall and rolled over Mytton, who, with good luck, got up unhurt. Shortly after he attained his majority Mytton gave a dealer an order for some carriage horses and ‘went to see what the man had got for him. He put.one of the lot in as tan- .dem leader to *“try” it and with the dealer at his side drove out on the highroad. As they drove Mytton in- -quired if the horse were a good timber jumper, and; the dealer giving a doubt- ful answer to a query he did not ex- pect in respect of a harness horse, Mytton instantly said he must “try” him. Forthwith he drove at the turn- pike gate which barred the way before him. The horse cleverly cleared fit, leaving the wheeler, the gig and its occupants on the take-off side. Won- derful to relate, neither the horse mor the man was hurt. The gig, however, stood in urgent need of repairs.—Lon- don Stock Journal. Made Her Mad. “I thought 1 overheard you and yowm wife quarreling a little while ago What was the trouble?” “She brought home a new hat, and after putting it on she turned to me and said she didn’t believe it was be coming.” “Well?” “1 agreed with her.,”—Chicago Rec: ord-Herald. A One Sided Rule. Once when P. T. Barnum was tak. ing tickets at the entrance of his cir- cus a man asked him if he could go in without paying. “You can pay without going in,” said Barnum, “but you can’t go in without paying. The rule doesn’'t work both ways.” | dote. His Athletic Neighbor. A young man inmate of a boarding house had been disturbed night after night by the boarder in the next room doing things with a punching bag he'd rigged up in the room some way. At breakfast each morning the young man would look over the crowd and won- der who the bag puncher might be. but there was no one in sight but a bunch of women and eight or ten men with narrow chests and retreating chins. One night he made up his mind to knock on the bag punching room- er's door and ask him to put over his exercise until daylight when all the world's awake. The man might be small enough to bulldoze even with all his athletics. The door opened and there, clad in a tight fitting red jersey, was a robust, busxom woman of per- haps thirty summers. “And what @id you say to her?” the young man was asked. *I wi S rtled,” replied he, “that I asked what afterward seemed to me the most natural request 1 could have made. 1 asked her if she’d lend me a couple of matches.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Persistency of Colds. Why is it that we are so heavily subjeet to colds? Other epidemic dis- eases—measles. typhoid, scarlet fever. diphtheria—may get hold on us once and there is an end; it is not usual to have any of them twice. We brew in our blood immunity. The poison of the disease evokes ip us its proper anti- Our blood cells make a sort of natural antitoxin and keep it in stock, so that we henceforth protected se. A well vaccinated nurse, for example, works with safety in a smallpox hospital, where the very air is infective, but her blood is so changed by vaccination that the small- pox cannot affect her. By scarlet fe- ver, again. we are, as it were, vacci- nated against scarlet fever. The reac- tion of our blood against the disease immunizes us. No such result follows influenza or a common cold. We brew nothing that is permanent. We are just as susceptible to a later invasion as we were to the invasion that is just over.—London Spectator, The Festive Codfish. A correspondent of the New York Post says that the codfish frequents “the tablelands of the sea.” The cod- fish no doubt does this to secure as nearly as possible a dry, bracing at- mosphere. This pure air of the sub- marine tablelands gives to the codfish that breadth of chest and depth of lungs that we have so often noticed. The glad, free smile of the codfish is | largely attributed to the exhilaration of this occanic altitoodleum. The cor- respondent further says that the “‘cod- fish subsists largely on the sea cherry.” Those who have not had the pleasure of seeing the codfish climb the cherry tree in search of food or clubbing the fruit from the heavily laden branches with chunks of coral have missed a very fine sight. The codfish when at home rambling through the submarine forests does not wear his vest unbut- toned as he does while loafing around the grocery stores of the United States. —Bill Nye. A High Priced Fricassee. Lord Alvanley, a noted wit and high liver in England a hundred years or so ago, insisted on having an apple tart on his dinner table every day throughout the year. On one occasion he paid a caterer $1,000 for a luncheon put up in a basket that sufficed a small boating party going up the Thames. Being one of a dozen men dining together at a London club where each was re- quired to produce his own dish, Alvan- ley’s, as the most expensive, won him the advantage of being entertained free of ¢ost. This benefit was gained at an expense of $540, that being the price of a simple fricassee compesed entirely of the “noix,” or small pieces at each side of the back, taken from thirteen kinds of birds, among them being 100 snipe, 40 woodcocks and 20 pheasants—in all about 300 birds. — B Our Eccentric Phrases. Why. do we always talk of putting on a coat and vest? Who puts on a coat before a vest? We also say put- ting on shoes and stockings. Who puts on shoes before the stockings? ‘We also put up signs telling people to wipe their feet when we mean their boots or shoes. And a father tells a boy he will warm his jacket when he means to warm his pantaloons. We are a little eccentric in our phrases at times. % An Odd Epitaph. The following epitaph is to be found in a cemetery within seven miles of New York’s city hall: Reader, pass on; don’t waste your time O’er bad biography and bitter rhyme, For what I am this crumbling clay in- sures, And what I was is no affair of yours.

A well dressed man was standing outside a bookseller’s shop in Charing Cross road closely examining one of Balzac’s works illustrated by Gustave Dore. - “How much is this Balzac?” he asked an assistant outside. “Twenty-five shillings.”” was the re- piy. “Oh, that’s far too much. 1 mustsee the manager about a reduction.” con- tinued the prospective customer, and. suiting the action to the word, he took up the book and went into the shop. Approaching the bookseller, he took the book from under his arm and asked what he would give for it. *‘Seven shillings highest offer,” he was told. The offer was accepted, the man took his money and left. “Well,” queried the assistant later, after the man had gone, “were you able to hit it off with the gentleman, sir?” “Oh, yes. T managed to get another copy of that edition of Balzac for 7 shillings.” Then the bookseller went out to lodge a complaint with the police.— London Telegraph. A Victim of Leprosy. “On my travels in Venezuela,” said a New York man, *I stayed in a hotel with a young man in whose family there was the taint of leprosy, though he apparently did not have it. One night sitting at dinner he became an- gry at a waiter and brought his hand down on the table with full force. He instantly realized that he did not feel the blow and sat looking at his hand. his face whitening with horror. ‘Give me your knife, Bob, he said to his chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in a frenzy and stabbed the side of his hand with vicious cuts from finger tip to wrist. You may not know that lep- rosy appears in the side of the hand, numbness being a sign. The man did not feel the cuts, He arose from the table. knocking over his chair, rushed out into the courtyard of the hotel, and we heard the quick tang of a revolver shot, telling us how he had conquered the leper’s curse by ending his life.”— New York Times. He Could Wield an Ax. 'The skill of the old Maine shipbuild- ers in the use of the adz and broadax was wonderful. One old time yarn is of a carpenter who applied very drunk at a shipyard for employment. In or- der to have a little fun with him the toreman set him to give a proof of his skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with no chopping block but a stone. The carpenter accomplished his difficult task without marring the keen edge of the broadax and showed the foreman a fieatly made bolt. Then he brought the ax down with a terrific blow that shattered its edge upon the stone. 1 can hew fust rate on your chopping block.” he bhiccoughed, *‘but I'll be blamed if I can make the ax stick in it when 1 git through.” The story runs that the foreman lost no time in em- ploying such a workman. Judges' Wigs. The wig is only worn by English barristers to give them a stern, judi- cial appearance, and no one can say that it fails in this respect. The cus- tom was originated by a French judge in the seventeenth century when, hap- pening to don a marquis’ wig one‘day, he found it gave him such a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to get one for himself and wear it at all times in court. This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view that not only If you always use Calumet Baking Powder, because it al- ways gives best results, with any kind of flour.
