Ropted NV the Word Police.

One of the Broadway bcggars, the old
woman who pretends TO be selling match
es, was standing in front of restaurant
late last night as cab drove up. She
hurried toward the vehicle. Three men in
evening dress Jumped out, and the old wo-
man held out her right hand with box of
matches, while her left hand was extended
for aims. She said never word, and the
two men who alighted first passed on with
out noticing her. The third man stopped
to settle with the cabman and then start
ed to follow his companions, who had en-
tered the restaurant.
The old woman still had both hands ex-
tended, and the man put up his right hand
TO wave her aside. He didn't touch her,
but the old woman saw her chance TO make
a strike. She fell on her back with groan
and began to moan.
ooh, shame to push poor old womanl
she cried, none too softly, pointing at the
man i'm evening clothes.
He stammered an apology, forgetting for
the moment that he had not touched her.
The old woman kept on grooming as she
slowly got on her feet. Several people had
collected and had begun to sympathiZe
with her before the man in evening clothes
recovered his presence of mind. Then he
remembered that he had not touched the
beggar and promptly denounced her as
swindler and said that he would have her
arrested the moment policeman appeared.
The effect on the old woman was magical.
She stopped groaning, darted around the
corner and hurried toward Sixth avenue.

said one of the charming middle aged
women of the period whose looks belle

JOY arrOgating 10 themselves the wisdom
and experience of age. And l have
reached that period of life she continued,
"when / can look back and see results and
note how seldom those who are born with
silver spoons in their mouths, as the say
ing is, have the silver fork when they are

Der who were the jeunosse doroe of my

fashionable existence year by year without
pleasure or profit.
"Another thing l have noticed from my
vantage ground of lifelong experience is
that, if only as a purely worldly maxim,
honesty certainly is the best policy. Many

as if he had walked honorably before all

Fhe Pull OF a Mustard Plaster Is Not In

wilkins complained of not feeling very
Eell. His landlady asked for the symp-
toms.
"Oh, she returned, put on mustard
plaster and youll be all right in the morn
ing"
He took her advice. He went into a
near by drug store and asked for "a mus
tard plaster.
The clerk took one out and began to
wrap it up.
"Say, that's sandpaper. want mus
tard plaster!'
The clerk explained that it was n mus
tard plaster; that the old plaster of the
mince pie pattern had gone out of style.
"This is just as goodY' queriod the
doubter. cts hot all right, l SUPPOSE"
Don't worry about that" smiled the
clerk meaningly ringing up cents in the
cash register.
wilkins was sleepy when he got home.
He was sleepier than ever when he had
crawlcd into bed with the clammy plaster
on him and big towel backing it up close
against the cuticle. He dozed perceptibly
as the plaster warmed up.
"Ill go to sleep" he thought. "lf 1t
gets too hot, I'll wake up"
Eyes Ill-wake up-if gets too hot"
Mr.. wilkins was snoring, and clock
away down the hall was striking 10.
1t was 80 o'clock in the morning when
wilkins began to feel the return of CON
seriousness.
1t was mixed and confused with n dream
in which he had seen miner standing
over him with pick and felt that great
hole was heing dug through his ribs.
wilkins snorted turned over and writhed
with grmace. Then he pulled the cloth
ing far from him, sat upand said, ugh !!
At O'Clock he was in the drug store
again. He was bending over to keep his
clothing from touching him.
The right clerk was still in charge, and
he grinned broadly.
LET me see the place" he suggested
even before wilkins spoke.
There was brilliant parallelogram,
by Z inches, just under the third button OF
wilkins vest, and as the air touched 1t

you'll have to be very careful or you'll
have bad blister there" said the clerk.
"Blisterl Say, can stand it, Tell me
the truth. How deep is that holeP"
"Nonsense. Go out and get a big, soft
linen handkerchief and I'll fix you up. :"
wilkins paid 80 cents for the handker-
chief and 20 cents for a cool, mussy paste,
which the clerk smeared on one side of It.
CHOW, if you let your flannel next to
that YOU may pull the hide off with 1t, "
warned the clerk in parting.
And wilkins walks down these morn
ings to keep the elbows of wabbly street
car passengers out of his ribs.
"Feels as if l was all boarded up on
one side" he conides to his friends.
Incidentally he says that mustard plas-
ter isn't such cheap remedy after all

Crete and It's Natives.

The peculiarly favorable position of the
island, situated at the junction OF three
continents, as il were, and commanding
the coasts of all three, has invested it from
the earliest times with an Importance such
as neither Sicily, Sardinia, nor Cyprus,
although much larger in area, ever at
tanned. While forming in prehistoric times
n stepping stone for Egyptian and Asiatic
civilization i'm its progress toward the
shores of Greece, Crete remained through
out antiquity singularly free from any
close political connection with Egypt, Asia
or Greece. This insularity is to this day
one of the marked characteristics OF the
Cretan people, and without accepting the
view that they are the purest descendants
extant of the Hcllenes of the eighth CEN
fury b. c., we must regard them never
theless as one of the most interesting
branches of the Greek race.
Unfortunately, the gravest defects OF
the ancient Greek character were nowhere
SO pronounced as i'm Crete, and we are tod
that its history throughout antiquity was
one continuous chain of civil strife, car
ried on with savagencss and bitterness OF
animosity exceeding all that was known
i'm the rest of Greece. This political de
pravty was attended by such degeneracy
of morals as to render the name of Gre
tan" synonym for nearly every vice.

Stories of Brahms.

Anecdotes about Brahms show the de-
parted composer to have been somewhat
unamiable companion. His wit was brill
liant, but cruel, and its direct object could
rarely join in the amusement il created.
One story begins with the statement that
as performer Brahms had an extremely
hard touch. This once led musician who
was accompanying him on the cello to ex-
claim, 81 don't hear myself. "Ah," re-
piled Brahms, "you are a lucky fellow. I"
When he left tho room after a lively even
ing among friends, he used to remark, IF
there is any one present whose feelings l
have not hurt, l trust he will receive my
humble apology"
Brahms never could bring himself to
produce an opera. IF / composed one
which failed, 1 should certainly have a
second try" he said to pressing friends,
"but cannot make up my mind to the
first. To me the undertaking seems much
the same as marriage" The latter insti-
tuition found no favor in his eyes, and he
lived an isolated existence, recognizing no
kinsfolk New York Times.
