When the brisk stranger came in he made for the office railing and stood #napping his fingers impatiently while the young lady in charge finished an- swering-a telephone call. “*Can 1 see Mr. Smith?" interrupted the caller. ¢ “What do you wish to see him about?" asked the young lady. *1 did not come in here to answer questions.” snapped the caller. *1 came to ask ome. 1 have asked it. ‘What is the answer?” Abashed and puzzled by the caller’s attitude, the young lady stammered: “Mr. Smith always sees people in matters which interest him.” “That is not the information I aeek ¥ quibbled the caller festily. “If you do not wish to answel a civil question, say so at once.” Here Mr. Smith in person came out of his private office, having overheard the talk. “I am Mr. Smith,” he said. can 1 do for you?" *I' am ' introducing a work”— began the caller, but Mr. Smith interrupted. *1 asked you a civil question. Why don’t you answer?” *“Well, you can buy the work. That is what-you can do.” "What if I “can?’: demanded’ ‘Mr. Smith. *1.can do wany things that I never do.” 1 did not expect to be insulted when 1 called.” remarked the visitor sulkily! “Your expectations are immaterial,” retorted Mr. Smith. *T cannot give any time to them.” Perceiving that he was meeting his own fire, the caller turned and fled. *1 want u copy of that work,” sigh- ed Mr. Smith. “If the fellow had been rensonable and civil I should have dealt with him.”—Philadelphia Ledger. “What Great minds are wills, others only wishes. —-Gormnn Proverb.

Old Senator Nesmith of Oregon, one of the first settlers of the state; used fo tell this story: At the time when Oregon was admitted as a state.and the first legislature of the state met Nesmith, who was a4 member, posgess- ed himself of a copy of a book on parliamentary .,pro- cedure. ‘This work, which was at) the time probably the only one of its'sort | west of the Missis- sippi, he . studied diligently and: by the time of the first session was well up in the rules ot de- “s1T DOWN, YOU pate, ¥ooL!” At the first meet- Ing of the new legislature a motion ‘was introduced and speedily carried, but on the second measure a dispute arose, and for three days the state leg- islators wrangled and debated. Finally on the third day Nesmlth ‘who had watched the proceedings with- out even opening his mouth, decided it was time to use a piece of his par- lamentary procedure, so he rose.and moved the “previous question.” . There was a moment of silence fol- lowing this motion, and then amid a shout of derision the speaker cried: “8it'down, you fool! We passed the previous question three days ago!” T8 Rest In Flight.

Guiding the Doctor. The blacksmith, who was long on the ‘wisdom of his trade, but short on medi- cal lore, sprained his wrist one after- | noon and lost no Hme in hustling to the office of a phy- siclan. The doc- tor examined the wrist ' and then " took a small bottle from a shelf, but found it empty. “James,” said he, turning to an assistant, “go up- stairs and bring me down a couple of those vials.” “What's that?” exclaimed the pa- tient, suddenly showing large signs of emotion. “I was merely asking my assistant “NO YOU DON'T, DoC!” to bring me down a couple of vials |. from upstairs,” answered the doctor. “Files!” cried the blacksmith with a look of determination. ‘“No, you don’t, doc! If that hand has got to come off you will use a knife or a saw!”’ Wanted It to ¥eep On, Richard Mansfleld, the actor, had not much hair, and this fact was_com- mented on to -the actor by a lady whose friendship permitted personal allusions. “Why, Mr. Mansfield,” said the lady, “you are losing your hair all the time. You'l be bald if this keeps on.” “Keeps on, madam?’ queried the actor, ‘putting his hand on what re- mained of his hair. “My daily prayer is that this will keep on.” A Mark Twain Story. A friend of Mark Twain once asked him if he remembered the first money he earned. “Yes,” he said; “it was at school, and a' very painful recollection :it is too. There was a rule in our school that any boy marking his desk, either with pencil or knife, would be chas- tised publicly before the whole school or pay. a fine of $56. Besides the rule, there was a ruler.. I knew it because 1 had felt it. It was a darned hard one too. “One day I had to tell my..father that I had broken the rule and had to pay a fine or take a public whipping, and he said: “‘Sam, it would be too bad to have the name of Clemens disgraced before the whole school, so I'll pay the fine. ‘But I don't want you to lose anything, 80 come, upstairs.’ “A few minutes later I came down ‘with a bad feeling and the $5, and 1 decided that as I had been punished once and got used to it 1 would not mind getting the other lcking at school. So I did and kept the $5.”: An Untamed Marquis. The father of the Marquis of Bute had an amusing experience in:the neighborhood of Rothesay. He met & eockney traveler who asked to be di- rected to a certain place. Deceived by the marquis’ accent, the visitor took him for a southron and took occasion to make supercilious remarks about the barbarous islanders of Bute.‘ He said, “Blime me, I suppose you’re like me, an Englishman?’ “No,” responded the marquis; “I'm a native of Bute, this island.” “Good graclous!” exclaimed the Lon- doner, in amazement. “Then who in the dooce tamed yer?” Lord Bute assumed a flerce expres- slon and, ralsing a ponderous cudgel he was carrying, said angrily, “Who says I'm tame?” The alarmed cock- ney turned and fled.—Pall Mall Gazette. ARMORER'S TOOLS. Fine Relics of Ancient Times In New York's Art Museum. Very few people are aware that in | the heart of modern New York is a complete armorer’s shop, writes B. A. Suverkrop in the American Machinist, It is In the basement of the Metropolf- tan Museum of Art and is equipped with a complete outfit of. over 600 ar- morer’s tools. Many of these are very old, having descended from master to man or from father to son through many generations. Their workman- ship 18 excellent. Where steel faces have been welded to iron bodies the welds are clean and perfect, and the . junction of iron and steel is distin- guishable only by the difference in lus- ter of the two metals. The tempering of the steel faces seems to be good and uniform, as nei- ther cracks nor dents are apparent.’ A cursory glance at these tools will at once apprise-us of the origin of many of our modern sheet metal workers' implements. The working faces of all the tools are highly polished, so that they do not ‘*grip” the metal being worked, which it is free to “slide” to the shape desired by the armorer. Every collection of ancient armor re- quires technical care for its upkeep. The objects must be kept free from rust, occasionally remounted, and from time to time restorations must be made to preserve these priceless specimens. In order to carry out this work the mu- suem has arranged the.shop referred to so that these necessary operations may be carried on. The armorer’s tools once belonged to Daniel Tachaux, but are now the property of the mu- seum. Mr. Tachaux brought them to this country when 'he came’ from Paris is 1909 to make some repairs in the museum’s collection of armor. The outfit consists of over 600 tools and includes nearly 100 kinds of stakes and . a great variety of hammers, swages. etc. A Mixed Quartet. Among other curious things I have bheard was a quartet sung simulta- uneously in four languages, writes a reminiscent contributor to the New York Sun. It was Clara Louise Kel- Jogg’s company in ‘*Martha,” Miss Kellogg sang in English, Brignoli in Italian, a German woman in German and a Frenchman in French. The au- dience never noticed the confusion of tongues. Just the Reverse, “Beating- the sword .Into a plow- share?” inquired the tourist pleasantly as he halted at the door. “Beating a plowshare into a sword,” responded the energetic blacksmith. “I ‘manufacture war relics.” — Louis- ville Courier-Journal.

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. ‘ “I was taken with dlarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, per- suaded me to try a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarr- hoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it T was cured: “It’also-cured-oth- ers that I gave it to,” writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably be cured by one or two doses of this rem- edy. For sale by Barker’s Drug Store. —Adv. AGGRESSIVE BASEBALL MoGraw's Scheme Is Go as Far as You Can on Every Play. " ‘Writing on taking a chance versus playing it safe in baseball, Hugh . Fullerton in the American Magagine says: % “It remained for the New York EGiants to develop the ‘take a chance’ style to its highest form since the days of the old Baltimore team. Probably no man understands or realizes the weaknesses and strengths of the Giants as well as does the little general who leads them., He knew that to win a championship the team must score many runs; must, in fact, score an ab- normal number. He knew that speed was the chief asset of the team and that to win he must utilize the best asset-to the limit. : The olgect of hav- ing fast men on the bases is not so much to have them steal as it is to force the other team to throw the ball and throw it quickly. One. mo- ment of demoralization of a defensive team is enough to lose a game. Me- Graw’s ailm was to make opposing teams beat themselves by hurrying their plays. He reverted to the Balti- more system of ignoring the number of times a-runnmer is caught trying to steal, provided some one steals or takes an extra base at the critical mo- ment. ' “Get on! Get a base on balls: get hit: get anything, but get on. And once on, run! Go as far as you can on every play. “That, in brief, sums up McGraw's system of attack, and its success has been demonstrated. While no official .statistics are to be had, I believe the Giants are caught stealing much more frequently than are the runners of any other team. But they lead in stolen bases. and their running netted two pennants. In one game that I watch- ed five Giants tried to steal against Archer. The Chicago crowd went wild as Archer threw all five out, one after another, as fast as they started The sixth reached first and started without hesitating. Archer threw wild, the runner raced on to third, scored on a fly ball and eventually New York won the game by one run.” Cause and Effect. “Waiter, this coffee is nothing bnl thick, liquid mud.” “Yes, sir: certainly, sir! It was ground this morning!” —London An- swers. Caught a Bad Cold. “Last winter my son caught a very bad cold and the way he coughed was something dreadful,” writes Mrs. Sarah E. Duncan, of Tipton, Iowa. “We thought sure he was going into consumption: ' "We bought just one bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem- edy and that one bottle stopped " his cough ‘and cured his cold complete- ly.” For sale by Barker’s Drug Store. —Adv.
