A Pithy Reply.

The investigators whose names ap-
pear in the newspapers in connection
with Roentgen ray expert nents are a
good deal bothered by applications from
people who imagine they have bullets
or other unpleasant foreign substances
in various parts of their anatomy. The
story goes that not long ago certain
local scientist received the following
letter: Dear Sir:-I have had bullet
in my thorax for seven years. am
too busy to come to Cleveland, but
hope you will be able to come down
here and locate the bullet, as l am sure
the case is worth your while. If you
can't cone yourself, send your APP
paratus, and l will get one of the doc
tors here to use it. Yours truly"
Here is the local mans reply: Dear
Sir:-Very sorry cannot find time to
visit you Nor will be able to send
my apparatus. If you can't come to
Cleveland yourself, send me your thorax
by express, and 1 will do the best can
with it. Yours truly" - Cleveland

Tricks of Dress.

1t is very common trick with dress
makers and milliners to take the belt and
hat Innings which bear the stamp of the

infrequently guilty of the same deception,

The Ruling Passion.

The truth of that old saying about
the ruling passion strong in death was
exemplified the other night when the
manufacturer of a certain well-known
patent medicine accidentally fell out of
the window of large apartment house
near Central Park. The man was
picked up in an unconscious condition,
and the doctors worked with him some
time before he revived. AS he opened
his eyes and realized that physician
was bending over him he said feebly:
" doctor, have you-ever-used our
-pills?"-New York Sun.

The decision of the judges was made
and handed up to the president. He
advanced to the tro of the stage and
read it TO the audience:
" The judges, after carefully consid-

thought better of that, and no one, ex-
cept the faculty, to whom it was neces-

you that the man who resorts to dis
honesty is never safe from detection.
If your theft had not been discovered

The Prize Grafton.

The faculty of Brandon Academy had
offered prize for the best Grafton to be
delivered at the coming commencement
by any member of the graduating class.
This prize was to be a scholarship in
one of the best colleges in the country.
John Darryll's heart gave a great
thrill when the announcement was
made regarding the nature of the prize
to be given. If he could only gain it'll
He was poor boy. 1t had been hard
work for him to complete the academy
course. But by doing whatever he
found to do, outside of school hours
and patient, persistent study, he had
succeeded in not only keeping up with
his class, but in practically leading it.
He was looked upon as the member of
the graduating class who was most
likely to carry off the honors at the
coming commence ment.
His heart was set upon obtaining a
thorough education, but it seemed
probable that his school days must end
with the completion of the academy
course. But when the possibility of
securing a scholarship in college was
presented great hope took possession
of him. He could crafty his ambition,
perhaps, if he were to win that.
"I'll do the best l can to get it," he
said, bravely and hopefully. "That's
the best any one can do"
He had one rival in his class. That
rival was Robert Torrey, the son of the
one rich man of Brandon. He was a
fellow of good natural ability, but be-
ing rich mans son had interfered
with his progress in many ways. He
had not felt the spur of necessity, as
had John Daryl, and the result was
that he had become careless and lacked
ambition. He would go through school
because it was expected that one in his
position would do so, but not because
he cared very much about the educa-
ton which college course is supposed
to represent.
He recognized the fact that in John
Darryll he had a rival who was quite
likely to carry off the honors of the
class. He respected John, as did all
who knew the manly young fellow, but
that did not prevent him from cherish
ing feeling of jealousy toward him.
1t seemed to Robert that the honors
ought naturally to come to him, be.
cause he occupied social position
which the other did not. He did no,
care about the scholarship as a scholar.
ship, but it would crafty his pride to
win it away from his rival, and so he
made up his mind to secure it if it were
possible TO do 80.
81 suppose you're gOiug to try FOL
the prize?" he said to John one day.
Yes, l am, answered John, frankly
" You will, of courseY"
"Certainly," responded Robert "AnC
l mean to win, / give you fair warning
of that"

pleasant smiles that made his face at
