Polite Bows,

George and Henry Grafton, to fill
their time during vacation and to
make a little money, set up a candy
and popcorn store with their parents
permission in an unoccupied shop ON
the village street.
"Now," said George, I'VE shall have
a good many ladies among our Gus
toners, and it won't do to let the
men smoke in here"
"Oh, no." said Henry, we'll put up
a big sign, NO smoking allowed.'"
Il guess we'd better be a little more
polite in our notice." said George, sc
that we sha'n't offend our smoking
customers"
The boys put their heads together
to invent a polite "no-smoking" no.

Divorce Statistics.

The most unhappy period of mar
riage, according to French divorce
statistics, is for the period extending
from the fifth to the tenth year.
After that the figures drop rapidly.
Only % per cent. of couples seek
divorce between the tenth and twen-
tieth years of unions. Only one pair

The Smallest Man.

Bcbe is supposed to have been the
smallest man who eve lived, says
the Philadelphia Record. He was
born by a peasant woman in Lorraine
just $50 years ago. and was called
Bebe because the first few years of
his life he could %articulate only "b-b."
The day of his birth Bcbe was smaller
than his mothers hand.
Ten days afterward he was taken
to the village church to be baptized,
in his mothers wooden shoe, because
he was too tiny to be carried safely
in her arms. During the next six
months the same wooden shoe served
as Bebe's crib.
When Eebe was about I years old,
King Stanislaus Lesczinski of Poland
made him "court dwarf" At the
time of his introduction to court life
Bebe vas twenty inches tall, and
weighed eight pounds. He never grew
larger.
Bebe had Il sweet little voice, a
good ear for music, and nimble legs.
He could dance and sing with the
best of the Kings courtiers. He
was very useful as a table ornament
at all the Kings great banquets. His
most famous appearance in this
rather curious role took place at a
dinner which Stanislaus gave to the
ambassador of a great power. In the
midGH of the table was an immense
sugar castle.
Shortly before the guests o s to

and a knight in full armor stepped
out with a drawn sword in his right
hand. All the guests thought the
knight must be some wonderful au-
ltomaton which the King had obtained
from the skilled mechanics across the
Rhine. He wasn't, however. He
was non other than little Bebe. He
walked around the table, shook the
sword in the face of every guest,
saluted the King, and then turned
back to the castle entrance, where he
assumed the position of sentry.
At a signal from the King every one
at The table began to lombard him
with smallsugar balls. Bebe hurried
at once into the castle, locked the
door, mounted the tower, and pre-
tended to return the fire by setting
off a lot of perfumed explosives.
In Paris a lady of the French court
had been holding him in her lap be-
tween the courses of a court dinner.
Suddenly she rose to leave the room.
Her first step was accompanied by a
shrill cry from the FOLDS Of her gown:
"YOur majesty, your majesty, this
lady has stuck me in her pocket and
is running away with me-"
The voice was Bcbe's. He was i'm
mediately dragged from the court
lady's pocket and placed under the
guard of two pages, who were in
structed by King Stanislaus to watch
him day and night.
To drive away melancholy Debe was
married to Therese Souvray, a dwarf
of about his own age and slightly
greater stature. That was the last
drop in Bebe's cup. Two week after
his marriage he lost his mind. He
ceased to talk entirely, ate little, and
spent most of his time in his crib.
His honeymoon was barely up when
he died at the age Of 81. His wife,
Therese, survived him forty-Swo
years.
