Ex-Queen Isabella OF Spain. is the

mas ter of her household, the duke OF
Castro-Torento. to send the man a
sum OF sl0G, with the assurance that
henceforth her majesty will provide

1t isn't every one who cherishes
his grandmother so he keeps her in a
safety deposit vault That's the way
a Chicago man does. however. His
grandmother died some years ago,
and left instructions that her body be
cremated and held forever by her
grandson and his descendants. He
complied with her wishes so far as
the cremating went, but after he had
her sealed up in a neat little jar he
didn't know what to do with it. His
wife said it gave her the creeps just
to look at it. Nobody seemed anxious
to have it around. and so after trying
many plans he at last got permission
to put it in a safety vault in the city
hall where he is an employe.

a False lara.

The latest Pennsylvania romance
is to the effect that Chester lady,
prominent in society, was spinning
along the Darby telford road on her
bicycle when a sudden sneeze sent her
false teeth flying over the machine.
Instantly dismounting, she searched
in vain for the missing molars, and,
reluctantly remounting the wheel,
pedaled homeward. The loss worried
the lady. whose social functions were
numerous. and as her teeth had often
been admired. new set meant social
oblivion for several days. While her
pretty brow was drawn together in
perplexity she noticed an excrescence
on the tire ard, dismounting q second
time, she was surprised and over

like burr in the pneumatic tire,
which they had punctured. This
story is probably not true. The BIZ
cycle does many wonderful things;
but it is not likely that it goes rolling

teeth and restoring them to their
owners.
