Theirs. FIRST SUCCESSES.

Alwaya Went Straight to the HearA Of
|. Affairs.
Theirs great achievement at AK was
in winning a prize offered by the acad-s
envy for an essay on VauYenargues,
says the Ghautauquan. The way in.
which this prize was secured was char
acteristics OF Theirs. He wrote one es-5
say which would have been successful
but for the fact that it was known to-
be his. The essays were sent anony-s
mously, but Theirs had been unable to-
refrain from reading his to literary
society. The royalists on the commit.
tee, knowing its authorship, were UNI
willing to grant it the prize and post
poned the decision. Theirs at once
wrote another in a different style,
which Mignet copied and sent anony-5
mously. This essay won the prize, and
the whole town laughed at the clever
scheme. The money which he received
enabled him to go to Paris. He had
hoped to practice law, but found he
had not money enough to be admitted
to the. Paris bar. He tried unsuccess-
fully writing, fan painting and the du-
ties of private secretary, but earned
barely enough to keep from starving in
his garnet. Finally he got chance to
write for the Constitutional. The
editor, to whom he had an introduce
ton, had thought to get rid of him by
asking him to write review of the
salon for that year. He supposed that
Theirs must fail in such a task. The
artistic taste which had been developed
at AK made his review literary event.
While doing justice to David's great
service to French art in the past,
Theirs urged emancipation from the
letters with which David had bound
the French school, and in contrast
called attention to Delacroix, then an
unknown painter. This single article
did much for French art, and also Sc.
cured the author a good position as
journalist. For this he was eminent1y
fitted, as he was clear headed, went
right to the heart of affairs and always
wrote with his audience clearly before
his mind. These same qualities were
afterward prominent in his speeches.

J Tarrlng and Featherin =.

$ In German journal the origin q.
the English and American practice st
tarring and feathering is traced to the
boisterous bishop Of Halberstadt, who,
being at war with the elector Palatine
in 1923, caused all the nuns and friars
of two monasteries to be turned into i
large hall naked, their bodies being
oiled and pitched and in this situation
they were Obliged to tumble promiscu-
otlsly among a vast quantity Of feath-

AN ENGLISH GALLANT.

He Was Very Gorgeous in the Eliza
bethan Days.
CHANGING across the surface of every
day life in the Elizabethan days of ro-
bust manhood, it is interesting to no.
tice the lively childlike simplicity of
manners, the love of snowy, brilliant
colors worn by both sexes, and to COM
pare these charming characteristics
with the sober habiliments and re-
served manners Of the present day,
says the Nineteenth Century. Here is
an example of the man of fashion, the
beau-ideal of the metropolis, as he sal
lies forth into the city to parade him
self in the favorite mart of fashionable
loungers, St. Paul's churchyard. His
beard, if he have one, Is on the wane,
but his mustaches are cultivated and
curled at the points, and himself redo
lent with choicest perfumes. Costly
jewels decorate his ears; gold brooch
Of rarest workmanship fastens his
bright scarlet cloak, which is thrown
carelessly over his left shoulder, for he
is most anxious to exhibit to the ut
most advantage the rich hatchings Of
his silver-hilted rapier and dagger, the
exquisite cut of his doublet (shorn of
its skirts) and trunk hose. His hair,
cropped close from the top of the head
down the back, hangs in long, love-
locks on the sides. His hat, which was
then really new in the country, having
supplanted the wooden cap or hood, is
thrown jauntily on one side; it is high
and tapering toward the crown and has
band around it, richly adorned with
precious stones, or by goldsmith's
work: and this gives support to one of
the finest Of Dlumes

How Flox Fought the Ants.

Aunt Martha's pantry was full of
ants. They crawled in the cakebox,
they skipped in the sugar-barrel, and a
person was never sure when slice Of
Aunt Martha's delicious bread was cut
that half-dozen ants might not fall
out of the little yeast holes. No one
know where they came from or how
they escaped after they had filled them
selves with the good things. Half a
dozen times Aunt Martha had taken
everything out of the pantry, washed
the shelves, put on clean papers and
looked carefully for some hole through
which the ants might steal, but she
would no more than get the dishes back
again than the pantry would swarm
with ants.
IT'S enough to try the patience Of a
saint" she said to Uncle Matthew. Il
declare 1 don't know what I'm goin'
to do
At that Flox piped in with her merry
voice:
What will you give me to clean
them all out, auntie?" she said.
why, my dear, If you'll conquer
those ants I'll have party for you and
invite the Hill girls and the little
Coopers and any of the others that you
care most to see.''
Floxz had come down from the city
the day before to spend three weeks on
the farm with her aunt. She had been
preparing all summer for a good time,
and now that it was here she was en-
joying it as hard as she could.
Its mammals way" she said to
Aunt Martha, but she wouldn't tell any
more about it.
The next day she climbed up in the
barn where the boys were drying their
walnuts and brought down an apron
full Part Of these she cracked open
and placed, meats and all, in a low tin
pan, which she set on the pantry shelf.
Then she placed little paths of wood
up to the edge, so that the ants could
cl:5ab in. The next morning you would
have been astonished to see that pan
1t fairly. sWarmed with ants-hundreds
and hundreds of them, and they were
running up and down the pathways
so that they nearly crowded one an
other off, F'lox emptied them all out
together, and, after cracking a new
supply of nuts set the pans again the
next night. This time she watched
carefully and her sharp eyes found a
very little crack near the floor, where
the ants came through. She stopped
it up and then caught in her pan oil
walnuts every one Of the remaining
ants.
There, Aunt Martha" she said;
1--we done my work
Aunt Martha examined the pantry ur
and down and couldn't find a single
ant. ,ls
Well" she said; "I'll do my work,
and the very next week Flox had he1

Names for Girls.

l used to know an Englishman who
had a fancy for short names, made nm
chiefly of vowels. He lived in Portu-
gal, and gave to his six children the
names OF Ava, Eva, Iva, Ova, iva and
Viva. Poor Ova used to be- fearfully
leased by some Etonian cousins, and
had her name declined in all sorts Of
dreadful ways to her great mortifca-
ton: She was "bad egg when they

he would explain that he had to hurry
out of town; that the roll contained at
least $1,000; that the loss would surely
be advertised and a reward of at least
SlO0 be offered; wouldn't the gentleman
advance as much as the reward was
sure to be and take the roll? The gen
tleman usually fastened to accommo-
date the finder, only to discover later
that the $1,000 roll was simply a wad
of paper with a $40 bill wrapped
around it. This, says Reed, was known
as pigeon dropping and the opera
tors as "pigeon droppers." !

A Bows Clever Invention.

There is clever boy in one of the
big skyscrapers downtown who will
some day invent himself into a for
tune. This boy sits at desk from 9
in the morning until 8 o'clock in the
afternoon and makes entries in a huge
ledger. At each entry he has to turn
the pages, and this necessitates the use
of blotter to dry the ink which he
has just used. Taking the blotter up
from the table, placing it aside before
the page is turned takes a good deal
of time. This boy thought about it
