FRIDAY DECEMBER, 19, 1913 &—— The ——e Scrap Book —— The —o Scrap %ook Cause of the Coldness. In his reminiscences James Stu- art, a former lord rector of St. An- drews’ university, tells a story of a Fifeshire man who was helping him with some engineering work in an English town. One day he mentioned to Mr. Stuart that he had changed his lodgings, and Mr. Stuart ed why. “There’ kin o' cauldness sprung up between me an’ the man [ was lodg- in’ wi’ afore,” d. “How is that [r. Stuart asked. “Weel, they sole very curious words here,” he said. “What kind of words?” Mr. Stuart asked. The man explained that in Fifeshire they spolke of “the ribs of a grate,” not “the bars,” and he went on: “It just eome nboot this way. 1 was sittin® wi’ & bit chisel in my hands afore the fire, and I wanted to soften it in the fire, so I said to the wife, *Will ye just let me put this in yer ribs? And wi’ that she gled a skirl, an’ in comes her man, an’ she says tae him that I want it to pit my chisel in her ribs. So there’s been a eauldness between him an’ me since.” Makings of a Man, I¥ you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting, too: If you can wait and not Le tired by walt- ing . Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies; Ow, being hated, don’t give way to hating. And yet don’t look too good nor talk too ‘wise. . . . . . . .

Repartee of Begging. A traveler in London was set upon by a persistent Irish beggar, a shift. less looking tellow, but with the blar- pey wagging tongue of one gifted. The Deggar followed the traveler, mouth- ng sweet nothings and lies. “An’ sure, yure riverence, it wasn't that I was ever like this,” he said. “It's often I've heard me mother say that we was noble by rights an’ that one of the family once wore the crown of Ireland, sir."” “Well, what do you want?’ asked the traveler. “Would you have the crown back? I can't give it to you.” The Irishman sidled a bit closer. “An "arf a crown 'd do, sir.” He got it—New York Post. He Had the Most—Perhaps. A comic actor who had been engaged to entertain a family party at an Eng- Hsh country house proposed at the conclusion of the performance a little game of his own. Bach of the com- pany, himself included. was to stake half a crown. and the pool would be T Fosarty ‘1 HAVE THREE. taken by the person who possessed the most of the articles which he (the comedian) would inquire for. On his assurance that he would take no mean advantage, but run the same risk as the rest, all the members of the party congented, and between £3 and £4 was soon laid on the table. The actor add- ed his piece to the pool, with a cun- ning smile, and then said: “Now, which of you ladies and gen- tlemen happens to e the greatest number of false teeth? Deathlike silence ned for about a4 minute, then a burst of laughter, in some cases hearty and in some cases forced. “I have three,” continued the actor, pulling them out. *“Who has got more?”’ The comedian took the pool. No Division. Some time ago, a congressman said, the teacher of a public school was try- ing to impress matters of finance on the youthful mind, and after question- ing several of the pupils she tried Jim- my Smith. “James,” said she, “tell me the de- nominations in which the money of the United States is divided.” “I don’t know, Miss Mary,” replied James after much thought and much squirming. A “Don’t you know, James,” persisted the teacher, “how the money your fa- ther brings home on Saturday night is divided?” “'Tain’t divided; Miss Mary,” was the prompt reply of. the frank James. “Mother takes it all.” — Philadelphia Telegraph.
