ishy one yesterday to a company at the
Sherman House, and as those present did
not even smile it may be recorded as a
fact. Mr.. Johnson owns trout stream
and also bulldog. Just what The bull
dogs connection with the trout stream IS
was not made clear TO the reporter. Yet
he could imagine a chsgrined angler
making his escape from JohRson's stream
with the canine chewing the after part
Of his trousers.
On this point Mr.. Johnson said moth

the dog hOlld c-scn usu. 11e canine
knew ali the bogs and holes where the
trout secreted themselves, and was often
noticed TO creep along the bank of the
stream to such pisces and shove a stone
in the water, frightening the fish from
its repose. As the fish would dart out
into the stream the ball-dog would spring
at it and very often come to the surface
with the fish in his mouth. Mr.. John
son said the dog had paths beaten al
around the banks ofthe stream where he
had travelled from bog to bog pursuing
his amusement.-Br0oklgR Times.

Lemon Juice for the Complex
ion.

Daring this time Of year the Aandsand
face should be carefully cared for. Peo
pie Of light complexion usually suffer
greatly during cold weather from chap
ped hands and fOces. There are many
preparations for sale at the drug stores
for chapped hands AMI ali are good
enough, but q very simple way to keep
the hands from ehapping or becoming
sore is to rub them with the juice Of
lemon. Then wash them well, rub in
little vaseline or glycerin, and powder
them well with starch.
The lemon juice removes all little par
ticles Of dirt from the pores and also
whitens the skin. The occasional use Of
lemon Juice on both the face and hands
will beey them white and soft, and pre-
vent the necessity Of washing the sew
eral times a day with soap. Use soap
sparin5iy on hands, neck and face during
cold weather, and Use only the best, with
tepid waser.-Intergiew in s., Louis Gl0be

Some famous compliments have been
paid to members Of the sterner sex, and
one Of the most gracefully turned vas
that uttered By Roileaus who when the
virtuous De SEesmes, President Of the
Parliament Of Paris. was elected Academ-
ician, congratulated him in these terms:
4 have come to you. sir, in order that
you may congratulate me on having you
for one Of my fsllow-academicians."
To be eulogized when dead IS more Of
ten the lot Of man than to he praised in
life, but surely a quainter compliment
was received by Talleyrand. for when his
demise was announced to one Of his
acqUsintanees the latter exclaimed.
He must have had some good reason
for dying think viii be at least i'll
myself" and forthwith went 70 bed
Yet another compliment toa dead man
was uttered by the Marchioness Of -
who, when told that the celebrated
physician Borden had been found dead
in bed, exclaimed: ~Ah death was 50
afraid Of him that he did dot dare attack
him except when ne was asleep"
Even the stern business Of war has not
prevented the exchange Of compliments
between military men, and Of these none
better deserves quotation than one paid
BY Hannibal to Serpio. While discuss
ing with Scipio on the subject Of great
military commanders he said that
Alexander was first, Pyrrhus was second,
and himself third.
