A Snap. Let us show you the best cot- tage in town for the money, Terms given. Ziegler & Ziegler Co. Schroeder Block. Peacock Plumage. However much milliners may ad- mire the plumage of the peacock and however much they may desire the money it brings. superstition prevents many of them from using it. “Rather than give peacock feathers house room 1 would lose my best cus- tomer,” one milliner declared. “Ihave done it more than once. Women who want their own materials made up have hmu,ght peacock trimming, and when 1 pomnvely refused to handle it they went away angry and looked for somebody else to work up their pea- cock feathers. But no doubt they had a.long chase, because two-thirds of the milliners feel just as I do about peacock feathers.” “But why?’ asked a woman who ;arrled a peacock feather in her hand ag. “It’s bad luck, that is why,” said the milliner.—New York Sun. No Paprika In Her Bones. A Hungarian restaurant in New York became famous for its culinary triumphs, and many visitors to the city became acquainted there with the mysterious dishes produced in Hunga- rian kitchens. In one of these parties several years ago was a young matron from the far west, who, anxious to ex- tend her culinary knowledge and see- ing how her husband relished one of the courses of the meal, asked the head waiter for the recipe for the dish, “I can give it to you, madam,” was the courteous reply. *“but you can’t make it.” “And why not?” asked the sightseer. “Because you must be Hungarian. It might come right for an Austrian, but an American” never. You must have paprika in your bones.” And, taking that high ground, the request was refused.—New York Tribune. A Humble Hero. Every student of history remembers Captain Perry’s dispatch after the bat- tle of Lake Erie. a sentence terse and yet glowing, “We have met the en- emy, and they are ours.” Every one remembers the great and significant result of the fight, but few perhaps have heard of one humble worker who served his country just as truly there as if he had been on deck amid shot and shell, earning glory as well as the reward of a good con- science. Just as the ships were going into ac- tion the mate of the Lawrence said to Wilson Mays., who was ill and uxfit for setrvice: “Go below, Mays; you are too weak to be here.” “1 can do something. sir,” was the stout reply. “What can you do?” “I can sound the pump, sir, and let a strong man go to the guns.” Then he sat down by the pump and thus released for active service a man who had more muscle, and when the fight was over there he was found with a bullet through his heart. Barred the Red Heels. Once actors used to say that they were going “to study a part for per- formance;” now the saying is that one “gets up in a part,” which may be one of the reasons why there were once more studied performances than there are now. As an example of how much can be safely left to.the intelligence of even tried actors is the case of the Napoleonic¢ play that Charles Frohman was once rehearsing. In the midst of the dress rehearsal an actress of sup- posed all around experience, ‘ cast for one of the Paris street denizens, one of the mob of revolutionists, was dis- covered gayly decked out in patent leather shoes with jolly red heels. “No. my child,” said Mr. Frohman, “not red heels and a revolutionist too.” “But they look ever so much prettier and give color to the scene,” persisted the actress. “That may be,” continued Mr. Frobman, “but the mob did not wear red heeled shoes; get your color With a red handkerchief or from your makeup table. but not with red heels.” Successful Trap Shooting. Aim your gun a little above the shed protecting the titaps. Give the call “Pull.” Do not get rattled. Get your bird as it is going up or at its maxi- mum height and then fire, aiming about six or eight inches ahead and a trifie below it. The tendency is al- ways to shoot too high. not allowing for the speed of the descent. Above all things fire, even if you know you are going to miss. There is nothing so disconcerting or fatal. to the poise as to allow a fairly thrown target to get altogether away without shooting at it at all. When calling “Pull” put some ginger into it. *Bark it,” an old trap shot used to say. Don’t falter it, as though apologizing for being alive. It hurts your confidence and rattles the trap pullers. If you stand with your gun ready and mumble “Pull” three or four times before the target is thrown. the chances are overwhelming that' you will miss.—C. Q. Peters in Outmg Justice at All Hours. Despite their preference for a repub- lican form of government, the French are in some respects a conservative nation. A Paris contemporary discov- ered that one of the doors of the pa- lais de justice is left ajar throughout the night. This door has never been shut since March 4, 1618, when Louis XIIL ordained that it should remain perpetually open “So that my subjects may be able to ‘seék justice at’all hours of the day and night”” How- ever, an enterprising ‘journalist who .presented himself at the door in the ‘small’ hours of thé 'morning. was promptly ejected by a watchman, And when he gquoted the ordinance of 1618 the reply was, “If you don’t clear off you'll find yourself coming in by the prisoners’ door tomorrow.” A Financial Deadlock. “Who is that man who has been sit- ting behind the bar day after day?” inquired the stranger in Crimson Gulch. “That’s Stagecoach Charley. He's in a peculiar predicament. He went to town last week an’ got his teeth fixed. Then he come here an’, bein’ broke. ran up a bill on the stren’th of his $7 worth of gold 'fillin'. Charley weon’t submit to havin' the nuggets pried out. an’ the proprietor won’t let him git dway with the collateral, an’ there you are. "—Washmgton Star. THe Trouble. “Have you explained the germ 8YS, tem to your children? Everythlng should be on a practical basis these days” 3 “No,” replied the old fashiomed citi- zen. “It seems inconsistent to tell ’em not to believe in fairies and then-try to get ’em to believe in microbes.”— Pittsburg Post. A Useful Reflection. The optimist was reciting some of the numerous articles in' his creed. Finally he came to the end. “Oh, there is one more, after all,” he said. “On the days when I reflect how lit- tle I really amount to I cheer myself by remembeling how much I expect of ‘others.” Her Age. “I understand that heiress Jobbins married was rather old. What was her age?” “I guess as far as Jobbins was con- cerned it was heritage.”—Baltimore American. Heart Trouble. “Faint beart never won fair lady.” “Faint heart has no business to try to win anything: faint heart ought to see a ductor.”—New York Press. e T e e e e e e e e Know the 8tars In the Dragon? ‘Winding in and .out between the stars of the Great‘and Little Dipper is the constellation of the Dragon. The tip of the taif“lies between the pole star in the Little Dipper and the pointers in the Great Dipper, but much nearer the latter and only a few degrees below the pointers. The rest of the constellation, ‘outlined with faint stars, curves downward and around the Little Dipper, when with a final coil it terminates with the two. bright stars Gamma and Beta, which mark the head of the Dragon, or, in fact, its eyes. Aratus in describing the constellations speaks of the Dragon as “with eyes oblique retorted, that askant cast gleaming fire.” Its leading star, Alpha, near the tail of the Dragon and halfway between Mizar (the middle star in the handle of the Great Dipper) and the lowest star in the bowl of the Little Dipper. is known by the name of Thuban. Four thousand years ago it was the pole star.—Mary Proctor in Chicago Tribune. Does Your Cat Cough? Poor pussy! As if the immemorial charges against her -of keeping us awake o’ nights and of eating canary birds whenever she gets the chance were not enough, the doctors have just discovered that for years she has been responsible - for- the ‘spread of diphthe- ria. Dr. G. J. Awburn of Manchester, England, having traced an epidemic of this- disease in a suburb of that city to a pet cat belonging to one of his patients, has found, after much clever investigation. that all cats are pecul- iarly susceptible to diphtheritic affec- tions of the throat. He has therefore recently been warning all families who own cats to watch them carefully and if they develop coughs to forbid their being hugged and petted. Dr. Awburn further recommends that if the cough persists and the cat begins to grow thin to have the animal de- stroyed at once. The only really safe way, he says, is to let the first wheeze be pussy’s death warrant.—New York World. Left to a Worse Fate. The business man was sitting in his office thinking of starting for home when a suspicious looking person came in with a leather bag in his hand. “If you den’t give me £5,” said the visitor, coming at once to the point, “1 will drop this on the floor.” The business man was cool. is in it?” he asked. “Dynamite,” was the brief reply. “What will it do if you drop it?” “Blow you up!” “Drop it was the instant com- mand. “My wife told me when I left home this morning to be sure to send up a bag of flour, and I forgot it. I guess it will take just about as much dynamite as you have there to prepare me for the blowing up I'll get when she sees mr" “I'm a married man myself,” said the dynamiter and quietly slipped out. —Illustrated Bits. “What Shied at the Price. A mnoted painter said at the Aft club in Philadelphia. apropos of picture prices: . “I am glad there are not many buy- ers like an ‘old farmer in Center Bridge. A very distinguished etcher, sketching in.Center. Bridge. made a study.-of. the farmer’s barn. The farmer .happened to appear and said he’d like to have the sketch. . “‘Ef ’'tain’t too dear, he ndded cau- tiously. | . *‘Oh’ said the etcher, who makes $12,000 a .year. ‘I won’t charge you anything for the sketch, but’— “His eye lighted on the pigpen. “‘But I'll tell you what. You can give me one of those nice little pink sucking pigs there.’ “‘Why, man. said the tarmer with 3 frown, do ye know. what ‘them pigs is .worth2 . They’re worth a -dollar apiece.’ ”—Exchange. . Strong on Length. Richard. Carle engaged .as cook a Swedish giantess ‘who proved unsatis- factory. ,On departure she asked for a written testimonial. and Dr. Carle presented her: with the following: “To whom it may concern: I have lately had in :my employ Hulda Swan- son. who was engaged to cook for a family of three and do such other things as would be possible when not cooking. . Under this head might come a little dusting .and dishwashing and answering the doorbell. Taking all these things into account, T wish to say that Hulda is absolutely the tallest cook I ever saw.”—Success Magazine. e The Poet Again. He had ong hair and a pensive look. He wrote a poem entitled “Why Do 1 Live?” He signed it Augustus and sent it to a magazine, The editor wrote him as follows: “My dear Augustus, the reason why you live is because you sent the poem by mail instead of bringing it person- ally.”—Paris Modes. A Harsh Order. On the ‘beach near an English town a sign bearing this legend was nailed to a post: “Notice.—Any person passing beyond this point will be drowned. By order of the magistrate.” A Great Help. Scribbler—I understand your wife is nad no idea she was literary.

As he was standing there a well dressed man accosted him, “Young man, do you want to earn $47” he said. “Four dollars!” gasped the unfor- tunate, to whom the sum sounded like a million. *Lead me to it”" he said. “Come along.” said the stranger as he led the way across the bridge. The young man followed, a new hope gleaming from his eyes. The stranger led the way to a room on a side street off Walnut. “Here we are,” he said. “Well, how am 1 going to earn those $47” asked the young man. “Well, you see, I'm a little hard up for cash.” said the stranger. “and I'm going to sell you a pair of five dollar shoes for a dollar!”—Philadelphia Press. —— The Parson Bird. Among the feathered inhabitants of New Zealand there is a bird called the parson bird, or tui. It is about the size and shape of a blackbird, but has a palr of delicate white tufts at its throat and is a glossy dark green oth- erwise, which looks black in the sun- shine. 1t can be taught to crow, to speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides these tricks, it has a repertory which is not often equaled by any other feathered songster. At vespers it has a note like the toll of a bell or the clear, high note of an organ. It can mimic every bird in the bush to per- fection. It will break off in the mid- dle of an exquisite melody and indulge in a strange melody of sounds which are impossible to describe, but if you can imagine “the combination of a cough, a laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing of a pane of glass,” it will be some approach to the idea. Where He Made His Money. Years ago a gentleman settled in the south of KEngland and became. very popular in the neighborhood. The county families could never discover how he had made his money, but were satisfied by his solemn assurance that it was not in trade. Nothing could exceéd the ordinary gravity of his demeanor, which indeed caused him to be placed on the commission of peace, but now and then, without any apparent provocation, he would burst into such a laugh as no one ever heard before except in one place. ‘Where they could have heard it puz- zled the county families for five and twenty years, but at last he was be- trayed unconsciously by his own grandchild, who, after a visit to a trav- eling circus, innocently exclaimed, “Why, grandpa laughs just like the | g, clown!’—James Payn. Poor Pay, Poor. Preach. Once upon a time there was an In- | dian named Big Smoke. A white man, encountering Big Smoke, asked him what he did for a living. “Umph!” sajd Big Smoke, *“Me/ preach.” : . “That so? What do you get for preaching?” . “Me git ten dollar a year.” “Well,” said the white man, d—d poor pay.” “Umph!” .said Big Skae d—-d poor preach!” So runs the world—poor pay, poor “that’s “Me Eating Crow.” The term “eating crow” comes from an ante-Revolutionary story. A soldier of an English regiment stationed in Virginia shot a pet crow belonging to a farmer. The latter entered a com- plaint with the colonel, who sentenced the soldier to eat the crow. The farm- er was left alone with the soldier to see that he did it. After the soldier had consumed a portion of the bird he took his gun, presented it at -the farmer and told him to eat the re- mainder of the crow or he would shoot. him. This was the origin of the eat- ing crow story. . Didn’t Awe Him. The members of a Greek letter fra- ternity from a southern university were being shown through the library of congress. They were apparently stricken dumb with admiration of the beauties of the building. But the at- mosphere of awe was dissipated when one of the party, a red headed youth, exclaimed fervently: “Gee, fellows! Wouldn’t this make a dandy frat house?’—St. Louis Re- public.
