say the encouraging word that, like hot

If speaker mentions u wrong date do

on the speaker is belittling, and you
have no right to underrare aAy one.
Chatter about anything you will but

Even so disagreeable a habit as gum

A guest was washing his ring Ill a

seen at the turn in the pipe, but was
out Of reach.
The clerk of the Auditorium annex,
in which the accident occurred, ap-
peared on the scene. He was equal to
the emergency. He called bellboy and
sent for a package of chewing gum.
When 1t was brought, the boy chewed
gum as he never had before. Then put.
ting the soft, plastic qu;d on the end
of long lead pencil, be reached fol-
the diamond. His aim was true. The
diamond stuck in the gum and was
brought out safely.

present conflict in the sister kingdom

It is to the Salic law that the king
dom Of Hanover is indebted for the loss
of its independence and for its absorp-
ton by Prussia with all the disad-
vantages which that entails, economic,
political and social. Had Queen Vic

Hanover would have been enjoying at

poem in his honor, full of all magma
bic eulogies, such phrases as the sage
orderer of battles, - the great silent
man. etc., constantly occurring. He
sat quiet while this great composition
was being read out, and when it was
over he smiled calmly to himself and

we had not conquered, the poem would
