The funniest incident of my trip was
IN sleeping car. 1t was in the morn
ing, when the passengers had got out
OF their berths, and only several sets
of curtains were drawn in front of
still slumberous persons. Suddenly a
foot was thrust out between two cur
tains. 1t was small, white and sym
metrical-not more than feminine
number three-and the merest bit of
ankle in sight looked soft and fine.
The men glanced at it from the cor
ners 81 their wicked eyes. The wo-
men9/depGecated the exposure. Then
awbold, hrazen fellow went right
Straight to the pretty foot, grabbed the
ankle, and flung the whole member
rudely into the berth.
He wouldn't treat his bride so, "
said woman close by. 1T must be
his sister"
Then the head Of a 1O-year-old
urchin emerged where the foot had
been, and a sleepy, angry, boyish
voice said: Look here, Sam, you let
me alone. Next time you ketch hold
of my foot that way I'll kick the giz-
zard out of you"
There was a subsistence of senti-
mental interest and a visibility of
mirth. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Not q Home for Invalids.

To be plain, the City of Mexico is
not the proper place for a prolonged
sojourn of invalid tourists. The robust
can do very we'll here for few weeks,
but even they would enjoy the winter
weeks in.lower level towns like Aguas
Calientes, Guadalajara, or little towns
like Orizaba or Cuernavaca. Here it
IS impossible to have fire in your ho-
tel room, as such thing is absolutely
unknown. A lamp will, it is true,
heat room sufficiently to take off the
chill, but this is not the way for an in
, valid to live. There are cities and
towns here where no need of a fire
Will be felt the winter through. For
those OF us residents who have gone
through the not wholly comfortable
process OF acclimatization and are
fairly robust, winter is quite differ
ent thing. Its cold is gently bracing,
the appetite, never sharp in tropical
latitudes, picks up bit, and one goes
about his business with more energy.
But L defy any man or woman of
northern blood to live here a few years
and have that vitality, that certain
vl1gor, that one possesses in ruder
chmes to the northward. There are
some correspondents who ask if a STAY
IN this city would be beneficial for
persons afflicted with rheumatism2"
Decidedly not. Anywhere in the
country but in this ancient town,

Coon Hunting,

There was sport IN the coon hunt for
our fathers. and in measure a mans
importance in some communities was
Judged by the number of coon skins he
could nail to his barn door after hunt.
Why the coon has come to be despised
by sportsmen in these latter days is one
OF those things about which the remark
has once or twice been made that no
fellow can find out. He is as cunning as
the fox and more difficult to trail He
is, moreover, the cleaneet of animals, and
eats only the most wholesome of food.
He should not be despised, surely, be-
cause he can be hunted only at night,
for in threading the woods in the dark
ness, following dogs that you cannot see,
and whose baying alone breaks the still
ness, there is most singular enchant-
ment.
Even in localities where coons are the
most abundant, nine out of ten Of the
present generation never saw one, and
few people know anything about them or
their habits. Although the coon prefers
the vicinity Of civilization as his habitat
he plans to keep aloof from the eyes of
men, and his habits render this an easy
task. By day he lies in out of the way
retreats, in the depths of hollow trees or
isolated creviceS and holes in the rocks.
He wanders forth only at night and al
though his foraging expeditions may take
him to the very doors of farmers, and
even within the boundary lines of vii
lagos, he never betrays his presence. If
more than one coon is brought to bay in
tree they will invariably be females or
mother coon and her offspring. The
scent the coon leaves on the trail is at all
times less than that of other game quad
ruped. but when the female is nursing
her young during the summer months
her scent is hardly perceptible to the
dogs, thus saving her and her litter from
manya race for life. The scent of the
coon grows stronger as the cold weather
advances, and through November and
December the dogs follow it with COM
paratively little difficulty. Philadelphia

Lacking in DelicacY.

The daughters of Henry W. Long
fellow tell the story of remarkable
request once sent to their father. Mr..
Longfellow, as is we'll known, was a
very kind hearted, generous man, and
when he received a letter from a
young woman in distant part of the
country, who said she wanted a piano,
and felt sure that Mr.. Longfellow
would be glad to encourage youthful
talent and send her one, the family
were really afraid that he would re-
spond; but he decided not to do so, on
the ground that q girl who was SO
lacking in delicacy and self respect
could not appreciate music. Boston

A Warriors Matrimonial Fate,

Walking along Lake Shore with an
old soldier, who had married thrice and
for money every time, had some new
and valuable light shed upon the ques-
ton, SIS marriage failure?" The war
rior takes an easy view of life. He is
inclined to think that women are not as
bad as they are painted, but that they re-
quire strong handling. "The marriage

Not an UnIuckY Number.

The following curious story serves
as an illustration: "A soldier in the
time of William and Mary was tried
by court martial on a chargc of hay
ing fallen asleep at midnight when on
duty upon the terrace at Windsor
He denied the charge, and solemnly
declared (as a proof of his having
been awake at the time) that he heard

were made by several persons that the
clock actually did strike thirteen in

A Dangerous DRUG.

II one-half of what the doctors are
saying all over the country is true,
there may soon be a greater need of q
temperance reform among the women
than there has ever been among the
men. Strong drink, however, is not the
monster by which the women may be
enslaved, but a strong and poisonous
drug equally baneful in its effect.
This drug is antipyrine. The chemi-
cal name for it is acknowledgements
zini, but as it is rather long and
might not be easily pronounced by
ladies who are not photographed ex-
perts, it has been called simple antipy-
rine, and appears as such in the med
cal books
It is white powder, slightly bitter
and soluble in water. Until about q
year ago it was prescribed for fevers
only, but a French medical college
recommended it for headaches and
other pains and disorders, and in this
way it has gained its grasp on so
many thoughtless and nervous wo-
men.
In Chicago and many other places
it is said that the habit is gaining with
alarming rapidity, for the women take
it for every i'll, and cannot believe
that its soothing effect can have any
evil result until the habit is thorough
ly fixed upon them.
1t produces different results under
different circumstances, and, like
many other preparations, varies ac-
cording to the size of the dose. In
large doses it has been known to pro-
duce complete relaxation and at the
same time loss of reflex action and
death. In moderate or tonic doses it
often produces commissions It's effect
as stimulant seems to be very much
Like that of quinine, and the physi-
clans say that they do not understand
why it should get the hold on women
that it does. Buffalo Courier.

PANDORA's OPAL.

When Hope was left to muse alone
Within Pandora's box deserted,
Whence all the other sprites had flown,
The world was sadly disconnected.
And more than all the luckless maid.
Whose eager hand had wrought such foIly
Beside the box she idly stayed
And yielded to her melancholy.
But while her tears, unhindered, flowed.
Impatient Hope, alone UNDECIDED,
Begged freedom from her strait abode
With promises of comfort needed.
Pandora yielded, raised the lid,
And gentle Hope spread wings Of pity,
And by the kindly deeds she did
Cheered young and old, in field and city.
But ere abroad she took her flight,
Beside the maid she fingered signing,
Ii pity Ger a tear drop bright,
That on her slender hand was living.
Her duttering wings of myriad tints
Hung DER the drop, and when she vanished
An opal, in the sunlight's CLINT,
Lay shining, and the tear was banished
And so, through all the changing years
An opal speaks to us OF sorrow,
Butye Of hope that stills our tears
And bids US wait brighter morrow

An Absent Minded Man.

Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in the
suburbs went in store on Walnut street
to make a few purchases. The only
Light In the store was candle standing
on the counter near the money drawer.
After making his purchases he handed
the proprietor bill, and after returning
him the change the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange some
thing, when suddenly he was left in the
dark. He started toward the counter,
and, cropping around it, found, not the
candle, but the change 1t struck him
then that probably the man, in a fit of
absent mindedness, had taken the candle
instead Of his change. He started out
after him, and, catching up with him,
saw that he had the bundle in one hand
and the candle in the other. After apol-
ogizing for the mistake the,stranger took
his change and gave back the candle

Many Beautiful Women.

The women of Aries, France, are re-
nowned for their beauty, which is of a
peculiar type. 1t is remarkable proof
of the isolation of each little commun-
ity in an old nation like this that one
inconsiderable city should have had
for ages popularity of this kind.
certainly never saw SO many beautiful
women and girls at once as those that
thronged the streets and filed into the
churches on Sunday morning, all re-
sembling each other; dark, liquid eyes,
full lips, finely nodded features,
crowned with an abundance of black
hair, set off by becoming head dress
with long velvet lappels. They are
said to have Saracen blood in their
veins. l should rather judge it to be
Spanish from their experimentation.

Pathetic Even If Humorous.

There is almost as much pathos as
humor in the following story of an
Albany boy of tender years: Shortly
after his mothers death, he, with his
father, visited her grave, being car
ried there by a horse which his father
had recently bought. The father,
standing apart from the grave, was
naturally in a contemplative frame of
mind, and the boy, being unable to
stand the oppressive silence any
longer, lifted his childish voice and
said: MA, we've got new horse. y

Durham Mustard.

Mustard was little known at English
tables until 1929, when q Mrs. Glenn
ents, residing in Durham, began to
grind the seed in mill, and to pass
the -four through several processes
necessary to free it from the husks.
She kept her secret to herself for many
years, during which she sold large
quantities of mustard throughout the
country, but especially in London.
Here it was introduced to the royal
table, where it received the approval
of George l. From the circumstance
of Mrs. Clements being a resident at
Durham it obtained the name of Dur
ham mustard. San Francisco Argo-
