A rather refined story is told of
Senator Blackburn Of Kentucky, and
the late Senator Beck, which we give
without varnish.
Upon one occasion it was necessary
to test some old bourbon whiskey be-
fore shipping the simon pure to a fas-
tidious customer. The anxious dealer
bethought him of these two great men,
who were universally admitted to be
connoisseurs in the article, and beg
ged their Indulgence in the matter of
tasting the liquor. Blackburn swal-
lowed sip, smacked his lips, looked
a little bit critical, tried it again, and
then said: cit is fair-very fair-but,"
again smacking his lips, "It seems to
me [ taste iron in it," The dealer
looked discouraged.
Beck went through the same pro
cess of tasting and trying, at last ex-
claiming: "That's good-very good
but [ think I detect taste of Heather"
The Dealers face fell. But feeling
sure he had superior article he in
vestigated. After diligent search he
found carpet tack with leather cap
in the botto m Of the cask.

There is wise woman who can
smile at compliment, be pleased and
forget it.
That is wise woman who can smile
at an insult and never see it.
That is wise woman who can smile
when the little worries are coming
about and make of them little bits of
fun.
That is wise woman who can smile
when she gets up, and who can go to
sleep with smile, for in this way she
greets the coming day, and at the end
of it she has blotted out all the disa-
greeables.
That is wise woman who can smile
for her friends and her enemies; it
will keep the first, and it is the best
weapon against the last.
That is a wise woman who can smile,
no matter how she feels. She is wo-
man who has learned to rule not only
herself, but will gain domain over the
cook. And that means that she gov

Five months ago a small boy, with
several companions, was feeding one
Of the elephants at the Zoo in Schen-
ley Park, Pittsburgh, known as Gusky.
He handed her buns on a nail fastened
in the end of long stick. The boy,
for fun, jabbed the nail deep into the
elephants trunk and then ran away.
On Sunday last the same boy visited
the Zoo. Suddenly the elephant threw
her trunk in the air, and, trumpeting,
made a rush at the boy.
Keeper Andy Neelan seized pitch
fork and ran for the elephant, shout
ing, "Back!" For the first time in her
life Gusky refused to obey. She had
thrown the boy up against the side of
the shed and was rushing for him
with her trunk. In moment more
she would have trampled him under
her feet. The keeper thrust the fork
into her shoulder and forced her back,
saving the boys life. Gusky sank
back into her corner and gazed ap-
pealingly at the keeper, but she was
beaten.
The crying, frightened boy at first
denied that he had ever hurt Gusky,
but finally confessed. Neelan warned
him never to come there again, add
anywhere, you start to run, because
she'll be after you. She will know
you 20 years hence"

Rosegger, the Syrian poet, who is
battling with death just now, express
es the following thought on marriage:
off you think Of marrying a woman
remember you marry three creatures,
young one, middle aged one, and
an old one. Unless one or two die
before their time you marry a wife, a
mother, and a grandmother.
Gin her you marry lot Of people
you do not know. You don't marry
for to day, or for tomorrow, but for
life, and for all sorts of situations. If
she is gentle, and wise, and true, you
have bride, not only for the we'd
ding day, but for sickness, and pow
erty, and old age. For if she is only
handsome she will some day grow
ugly, but if she is good and true she
viii stand wear. Try to know her be-
fore you take her.
