Beat the Bank.

Willy Westport inherited lands
from fond parent, and that was
about all, Willy is what is known
as swarm article" by his friends,
who are collection of the same
sort. He is a bicycle enthusiast,
with passion for decoration that
cannot be quenched. All through
the summer he dazzled other riders
and started horses by his variegated
and flashing wheeling clothes. AS
he fills the comparatively humble
position Of bookkeeper, the style and
evident responsiveness Of his raiment
was a wonder to those who were
dazzled thereby. And this is the
true story thereof.
When Willy inherited his lands he
made haste to sell portion OF them
for which he received $l400 cash
Like a dutiful son, he gave one half
or 500, to his mother. He went to
his employer, who is known as a
"solid business man." and asked his
advice as to the disposition of his
half.

ployer.

he produced in quick succession
green, blue and violet sweaters and
golf stockings. About this period
he arrived in society. His high
collars threw his head into the air
like horse with tight-check rein
His neckwear made bright spots in
the landscape, and his clothes were
the envy of the town. He began tc

Since the introduction of the Tibet
goat into France the cashmere shawl
has been initiated with such wonderful
exactness that it is hard to detect the
imitation from the original, says the
Chautauquan. Experts say, however,
that the genuine India shawl can be
detected from it's having less even
ly woven web and also from it's brighter
colors. It is likewise said that the bor-
der of the real India cashmere shawl is
invariably woven in small pieces, which
are sewed together and the whole bor-
der is afterward sewed onto the center.
1t is a mistake to think that the shaWls
are manufactured in India in the form
in which they are sold here Generally
the borders and centers come out sep
arately and are put together in sizes
and often in patterns to suit the Gus
toners.
A number of shawls sold as '.real In
dia' are actually manufactured in
France. Persons familiar with both
articles say that the original is softer
than the imitation and that this soft
ness arises from the way the thread is
spun and partly also because the Tibet
goat deteriorates when removed from
it's native hills.

YEAST OF LONG DESCENT. !.


Goes Back OF Cronaweli's Time.
Mrs. Barbara Curran, who lives near
East Orrington, Me-, has a stone crock
on shelf in her cellar which is filed
with yeast, and both the crock and the
yeast came over from Ireland in her
possession in 1916, says the New York
Sun. ts=.
She came to America when girl, and
brought the yeast as present to an
aunt, who lived in South Boston. The
ieaven was renewed with freshly
scraped potatoes three times during the
voyage on the sailing packet that
brought her to this country. When
she found employment as a cook in a
Boston boarding house she took. this
yeast along and kept it alive and Wig
orous until she was married in 1853 and
went to live in Medford. Before the
war her husband moved to East Orring-
ton and took up the farm wherehe now
lives. Though they were poor and had
much hard work, the yeast was never
allowed to die out or get stale. The
crock in which it is kept is a hand-mold-.
ed brown earthen vessel, holding about
two quarts. It was made and baked on
the farm of Mrs. Curran's father, who
rented place near Galway. Mrs. Cur
ran says this particular kind Of yeast
has been kept alive in the Norton fam
lily since before the time Cromwelps
soldiers came along and found her
great-great-grandmother making bread
for the troops of King Charles T., and
hanged her to an ash tree in front of

HI DROPPED HIS PIPE.
And the LOSS Naturally Caused Hi


. And the Los4 Naturnlly Caused HIM
Some Annoyance.
One AFTERNOON last summer was
] standing on the great suspension
bridge just below Niagara falls look
ing at the great cataract and admiring
the wonderful colors OF the green and
blue river 200 feet below. Several work
men were engaged in painting the
bridge, andI became interested in their
operations. Il required no little en-
gin,eering skill to rig up an apparatus
by which to enable painter to traverse
the giant guy rope cables which radiate
from the center of the bridge, fam
shape, toward either end of the struc-
ture. A painters platform four feet
square was suspended from one Of these
cables by q trolley arrangement, a
grooNed wheel running on the cable.
BY means of rope attached to this
wheel a man on the bridge could draw
the platform from the river bank the
terminus of the cable-to the bridge
above, and as the platform passed along
the cable a workman sitting on a COM
mon chair on the platform would paint
the great iron rope above his head and
behind the trolley wheel
I was especially interested in the
work of a Swede, who, perched on
small platform, was painting one of the
Canadian braces. He had begun at the
end OF the cable on the Canadian shore
far below, and had been pulled up the
cables steep incline toward the bridge
until perhaps two-thirds of his journey
had been completed. There was abso-
lutely nothing but air between him and
the seething river 200 feet below; but
there he sat, on a swinging platform,
methodically plying his brush and com
placently smoking short clay pipe.
How it happened don't know. But
the man on the bridge suddenly let the
rope slip out of his hands. There was
sharp cry of alarm from the startled
painter as the platform began to spin
down the incline, with constantly in
creasing momentum. It seemed as if
the poor fellow must inevitably be
dashed against the rocky precipice and
tumble into the river mangled corpse.
The slack of the rope on the bridge,
however, became entangled around
brace and the perilous descent came to
q sudden end. The flying platform
stopped with a jerk. The chair, pail
of paint, a brush and a clay pipe went
sailing into space. The painter caught
a corner of the platform just in time to
save himself from following them
Two minutes later the platform had
been pulled up to the bridge, and the
Swede was given chance to stretch
his legs again in safety. The man on
the bridge had not word to say. He
was as pale as a corpse and tremb1ed
like asleaf. But the Swede did have
something to say, and he said it with
out the slightest tremor Of emotion in
his voice. "You,' he remarked. Gay
tank you skal laind me your pipe. Laik
big fool Ay drop NINE" - Chicago
