Dying to order is one of the most sacred customs of the American In- dian. Many years ago Standing Bk went to Major James McLaughlin, the author of *“My Friend the Indian,” and said, *Father, mmy wife will die today, and she wants a coflin from you.” The major asked him what the ail ment was, and he replied: “Just nothing but that she heard the ghosts calling and must go.” Somebody bhad told her, it turned out, that she was sick, so she had “painted for death,” and all her rela- tives had gathered about to bemoan her—and incidentally divide her prop- erty as soon as she was dead. There was no use in the major’s arguing about it, so he had the coffin made. In many cases those ‘“painted for the music-lovers and gave: such ‘en‘Ldeath" are actually bullied into dying. tire satisfaction as Robert Meikle and Frank Lloyd on their recent visit to the city. Asa singer of the good old Scotch, Meikle gets home first; his equal has never been heard here. He puts heart and soul into it, he looks it; he feels it —and he makes it contagious. He makes! friends. Whether on the stage or off, whether singing Annie Laurie or passing the stanes down the ice to the bottom, he wicks in and lies close to the boitom of your affections. Lloyd is the fun maker. His siog- ging will always be remembered by those who heard it, because he, too, makes you feel good with yourself and the world. Why, the first thing Lloyd did when they hit this office was to make our Smiler smile. And the harder Lloyd laughed the heart- ier Smiler smiled, until it became very funny. Smiler is a long, lank sack of bones put up like a dog which we keep in our office to climb over and dodge around. He isn’t much to look at or to handle, but he has a heart as big and warm as he is long, and he knows when to smile. When Lloyd is around is one of those times, and Smiler knew it— just as the rest of us knew it. They will be back next year.” Just to “keep you fit,” a few doses of Tubbs Bilious Man’s Friend, now and then, does wonders. Saves bad feelings and doctor bills. Your sat- isfaction or your money back. 50 cts. and $1.00. City Drug Store. but Mrs, Standing Elk was still too vigorous. Finally in despair she car- ried the coffin into the house on her own shoulders, and several years later the major saw it still standing on end in her house. Shelves had been fitted into it, and it was doing duty as a cup- board.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Improving Americans. *“Nothing is fised but the certainty of change." said Goethe, and we know that the future American will repre- sent a change. He may be taller or shorter or thinner or fatter than the American of today, but there is noth- ing in the existing state of society— and we use society in its broad sense— to indicate that he will not be better in many ways. Contidence in this is based largely on the evident determi- nation of the American of today to leave our Institutions and our ideals better than he found them. KEvery American, pative or foreign born. wants his children to have a better ed- ucation than it was possible ‘for bim to secure. He waunts to have his chil- drev live in a community of higher standards and ideals than he has: he wants betterment in local, state and national conditions, and the result of the want will be,improvement and a demand by his children for still great- er improvemeut.—St, Paul Pjoneer- Press. Ancient Gardens. The Egyptians were conversant with the art of landscape gardening, though they had to contend. with the flatness of the land. Water. however, as an adjunet was often called inte play, for there was the inexhaustible Nile. We have' three plans of their gardens, as the one found in the tomb of Meryleat Tell el Amaron, which gives us the perfect ideax of how a grand garden was laid out. We have, too, pictures of Egyptians reclining on chairs and fishing in these artificial lakes. e e 1 i —— . Hoyt’s Hospitality. It was the habit of Charles H. Hoyt, the dramatist, to Invite almost every- body he met to come up and spend a few weeks with him at his summer home in New Hampshire, One night Hoyt, Bert Dasher, W. H. Currie, Frank McKee and several other house guests of Hoyt were sitting on the veranda of Hoyt's summer house waiting for dinner. The train had just arrived, and they saw an old farmer and his wife coming up the path. “Who are they?’ asked Hoyt. *“1 never saw them before.” 5 “The dickens you didn’t,” replied Currie, “That is that old chap and his wife you talked to over at Spring- field and invited to visit you.” “Oh, well,” said Hoyt, “maybe they are just coming in to dinner. They will take the night train bgek.” Then he looked again and saw the hired man behind the farmer and his wife wheeling a big trunk on a wheel- barrow. “No, by George,” shouted Hoyt, “they are here for a run!” And they stayed a month.—Cleve- land Leader. Long and Short Story Writers. Which are the great short stories of the English language? Not a bad basis for & debate! This I am sure of —that there are far fewer supremely good short stories than there are su- premely good long books. It takes more exquisite skill to carve the cameo than the statue. But the strangest thing is that the two excel- lences seem to be separate and even antagonistic. Skill in the one by no means insures skill in the other. The great masters of our literature, Field- ing, Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and Reade, have left no single short story of outstanding merit behind them, with the possible exception of Wan- dering Willie’s tale-in “Red Gauntlet.” On the other hand, men who have been very great in the short story, Stevenson, Poe and Bret Harte, have written no great book. The champion sprinter is seldom a five miler as well. Poe is the master of all. Poe is, to my mind, the supreme original short story writer of all time.—Conan Doyle in “Through the Magic Door.” Yosemite Versus Grand Canyon. Yosemite for a home or a camp, the Grand canyon for a spectacle. I saw a robin in Yosemite valley. Think how forlorn and out of place a robin would seem in the Grand canyon! What would he do there? There is no turf for him to inspect, and there are no trees for him to perch on. 1 would as soon expect to find him amid the pyramids of Egypt or amid the ruins of Karnak. The bluebird was there also, and the water ouzel haunted the lucid waters. The reader may create for himself a good image of Yosemite by thinking of a section of seven or eight miles of the Hudson river mid- way of its course as emptied of its waters and deepened 3.000 feet or more, having the sides nearly vertical, With snow white waterfalls fluttering against them here and there, the fa- mous spires and domes planted along the rim, and the landscape of groves and glades, with its still, clear, wind- ing river, occupying the bottom.—John Burroughs in Century. His Apology. A recent refusal by a member of the English parliament to withdraw “one comma” of what he had said about a member of the government recalls the fact that Richard Brinsley Sheridan once declined to punctuate an apology. In the house of commons one day Sheridan gave an opponent the lie di- rect. Called upon to apologize, the of- fender replied: “Mr. Speaker, 1 said the honorable member was a liar it is true and T am sorry for it.” The insulted party was not satisfied and said so. : “Sir,” retorted Sheridan, “the honor- able member can interpret the terms of my statement according to his abil- ity, and he can put punctuation marks where it pleases him.” Poets’ Licenses. The poet was sick at heart. He just had submitted one of his very best productions to an unfeeling editor, who had: rebuffed bim in these gentle words: “l wish there was a law about poets’ licenses like the dog license law. If I had my way a poet would have to take out a license every year and those who didn’t would be killed.”—~ New York Press. Her Little Composition, A class was reciting in a school. “Who can give me,” said the teacher, “a sentence in which the words ‘bit- ter end’ are used?” Up jumped a little girl excitedly. “1 can, teacher. ‘The cat ran under the bureau and the dog ran after her and bit ber end.’ " Method In His Generosity. My busband .is awfully good na- tured. I gave him a beautiful box of cigars for his birthday, and he ‘only smoked one himself and gave all the rest away to his friends.—London Opin- ion Strong Evidence. “What makes you think he had been to a drinking party?”’ “He came home,” sobbed the young wife, “wearing a phonograph horn for a hat”’—Louisville Courier-Journal, Always Happens. " A man who goes around with a chip on his’shoulder will finally encounter as big a fool as he is and there will be a fight.—Atchison Globe. The sense of smartness is sure to make a man shallow. . —mmar : .City\‘ Drug' Sfore's - Christmas Specials | Select Your 'C_hriStmas Wants from This List FOR THE LADIES Silver Toilet Sets. ...$2.00 to $15.00 Gold Toilet Sets. .. 3.00 to 12.00 Ebony Toilet Sets.... 1.00 to 6.00 ‘Walnut Toilet Sets... 2.00to 5.00 Rosewood Toilet Sets. 1.00 to 6.50 Jewel Cases—Silver.. 1.25to 3.00 Jewel Cases—Gold... .75to 5.00 Jewel Cases—Leather 1.00 to 6.00 Triple Mirrors....:.. 75 to 3.50 Hand Mirrors.. .10to 5.00 Manicure Sets.. .50 to 5.00 Music Bags Fancy Wisk Brooms ‘Writing Sets Stationery Traveling Sets Perfume Atomizers Post Card Albums | Handkerchief Boxes Glove Boxes Puff Boxes Desk Novelties Palmer,s Xmas Perfumes 10c to $10 Toilet Waters.... .. 25¢c to $2 Brushes and Combs Pictures e v Photo Holders e Novelties of all Kinds BOOKS..vvnnuunnnnnnnn.. 25¢ to $1.25 Hudson’s Xmas Candies 10c to $2.00 | FOR THE MEN l Shaving Sets.......... $1.00 to $5.00 Collar and Cuff Boxes. .75to 3.00 Collar and Cuff Bags.. .50 to 2.00 Safety Razors..... .. 1.00 to 8.50 Smokers’ Sets... 4.00 Tobacco Jars 555 3.50 Fancy Pipes.......... . 3.00 Hat & Clothes Brushes .35 to 2.50 Necktie Boxes.. 2.00 Fancy Ink Wells. i 75 Desk Novelties.......
