Wrinkles In Letter writing.

Good form OF writing notes or letters
has been changed considerably, remarks
the Chicago Chronicle. You must nc
longer have a margin at either side OF
your page, nor divide what you have tc
say into paragraphs, but write it con.
tinuously. You mustn't write on eact
side OF the sheet, one after the other
just as they come. Use the front pay,
first, then turn it over and fill up tht
back. Ii you still have something lett t
say, attack the other side of the from
page, writing crosswise from top to bot
tom, and so on down, filling both the in
side pages. This, according to an emf
nent authority, is considered to he tin,
incest way among the incest people >
That settles it. Neither must YOU dat
your letter at the upper right-hand, cor
ner any more; put it at the lower left
hand corner at the end of the letter
Write it all out. The economy OF tint
and space implied by the use OF figures il
offensive to good society. In an informa
note, however, you will he permitted I,
express the year in figures, but the dal
of the month never.

Large Shop.


Among the stories told of early Cali
fornian days is one which gives re-
markable picture of a blacksmith shop.
In the days before roads had been
laid out and sawmills built black
smith settled on one Of the river bars,
and, erecting forge of clay and stones,
set the anvil on a big tree stump, which
he had sawed low for that purpose, and
did thriving business sharpening the
picks and drills of the miners
He was himself miner and did his
blacksmithing almost entirely at night.
Not knowing when his claim might
fail or be disputed and be forced to
move on to another place, he did not
think it worth his while to build reg
ular shop
One day two of the miners left the
bar for town some 20 miles away. AS
they came into the main trail leading
to the blacksmith's haunt they met a
man leading horse which had lost a
shoe and was stumbling badly.
Strangers, said the man in a weary
tone, 'can you tell me how far it is tc
the blacksmith's shop? My horse has
lost a shoe, and he's mighty lame.''
well, now," said one of the miners,
leaning forward and smiling in mos'
encouraging way, "don't you be TO,
givin up. You're in the blacksmith
shop now, though I'm bound to tell you
it's about three miles before you'll
strike the anvil. Youth s Companion.

Hear the owl hoot and the mocking bird

Under no obligation to caucus resolves,
On your own dunghill you are King.
