NOrah's Two Pictures.

This story is related by Brooklyn
woman: my cook, Norah, appeared
in my room the other day with a pic
ture which man at the basement dool
was endeavoring to sell to her. It was
a large one of the Shanghai species
bright in color, and put up in snowy
lacquered frame. Norah explained that
she was about taking up rooms for hel
father and mother and thought she
would like few pictures, and wanted
my judgment on the wisdom of pur-
chasing this one. As it was a pleasing
combination of mountain, valley, river
and ruined tower, pretty in color and
restful to the eye, told Norah thought
she could venture to take it at its price
1915. An hour later l had occasion to
visit the kitchen. Norah's two tables
were set against the wall and on each
rested a picture. She saw me stop and
look at them. i took the two for five
dollars, she volunteered. They were
all he had left and he sold them cheaper.
Ibid you want two pictures alike,
Norah? asked.
alike, is it? Alikel Are they alfke?'
said she, as with eyes and mouth wide
open she approached and gazed at them
searchingly. And so they are the very
same, and niver noticed it at all, at all,
and me looking at them all the tonne
this hour past. Indade he was a smart
and deceivin fellow to be cheating a
poor girl in the likes O. that. Niver
moind,' she went on hopefully, I'll hang
one in the front room and the ither in the
back, and if | say nothin nobody else1l
be any bit the wiser than was meself. ="

An honest Swede tells his story in plain
but unmistakable language for the benefit
of the public. "One of my children took
severe cold and got the Group. l gave
her teaSpoonful of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and in five minutes later [ gave
her one more. BY this time she had to
cough up the gathering in her throat.
Then she went to sleep and slept good for
fifteen minutes. Then she got up and
yomiled; then she went back to bed and
slept good for the remainder of the night.
She got the Group he second night and l
gave her the same remedy with the same
good results. / write this because |
thought there might be some one in the
same need and not know the true merits

The "seven" in Neck ver,sbr~.

In a recent study of the anatomica,
structure Of the neck was struck witt
the remarkable fact that men and ami
mails alike are almost invariably pro
vided with seven neck vertebr@ or seq
ments. Man thus possesses this number
In common with the giraffe, whose ex
traordinary elongation of neck is pro
duced, not by the introduction of Other
yertebr@, but by the greater length OF
the normal number-seven. The only
exceptions to this rule of seven are found
In two species of sloth, one of which has
six and the other nine vertebrse, and in
the sirenia or ''sea cow" species OF
whale, which is also provided with six
segmented elongation or extension of the
spinal column.
In view Of the fact that the seven in
vades every department of life, is it any
wonder that the orientals have founded
a regular system of philosophy based up
on that mystic number?-St. Louis Re.

Coons, Bees and Dance

~o~ASt AWE
When boy had couple
for pets. They were passions
of honey, and one evening IN
on beehive. There was a b
house that evening, and they
pie had just become deeply int
"the lancers" when the coon
little busy bees mixed. The
lasted one round. The coons
they were outclassed and ..u,cu W
come home. They did SO, and brought
half bushel of industrious bees with
them. AS they entered the sitting room,
squalling with pain, they looked like
great black balls.
The ball was full dress affair, and
by the time the coons had taken a couple
OF turns around the room, shedding bees
at every jump, everybody-including
the grandams-was dancing. The
guests hustled out of doors, only to meet
the rest of the bees coming in. They
had all sworn out search warrants for
those coons, but were content to take
substitutes. They crawled down in the
corsages of the ladies and up the panta-
looms legs of the gentlemen.
They swarmed on bald heads and bare
shoulders. Fine ladies rolled on the car
pet in Partisan gowns and men stood on
cushioned chairs and shook their fists at
heaven! Everybody seemed possessed of
frantic desire to get out Of their
clothes, and all the time those miserable
coons were running around under chairs
and climbing over sofas, shedding bees
by the handful. There was no second
dance; everybody appeared to think one
number enough.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat,

Bargain Counter Flags.

Persons who are disposed to purchase
kpensive American flags should count
lie stars. Enterprising tradesmen are
orking off thousands of old flags which
went out of date when the six new states
were admitted in 1889 and 1890. The
patriotic wife of we'll known news
paper man greeted her husband at the
dinner table the other day with the glee-
full assurance that she had secured a
splendid bargain" She had bought a
handsome silk flag, worth perhaps five
or six dollars originally, for two dol
lars. "There must be some thing the
matter with that flag" said her hus-
band. "Oh. no, quickly responded the
wife. II examined it very carefully. 1t
is perfect"
"Did you count the starsr' asked the
husband.
"No, l did not" answered the wife
somewhat obviously.
The stars on the flag were counted,
and it was found that they numbered
thirty-eight. eff you had bought that
flag four years ago for two dollars,
Maggie, you would have got more than
your moneys worth" said the husband,
"but now it lacks just six stars of being
an American flag. New York Times.
