sing New Under the -.

I wandered to the circus, John. !
sat beneath the tent and saw the man
from Borneo, likewise the tattooed
gent. I heard the toothless lions howl,
while men in spangled clothes stepped
fearlessly into their dens and whacked
them on the nose. I saw the sacred
elephant spout water through his trunk,
the salamander eating lead and other
melted junk. l heard the merry clown
get Off the jokes we used to know when
we We're boys together, John, some 20
years ago. The same old horses wad.
died round the same old kind Of ring,
the same old comic vocalists proved
that they couldn't sing, the same old
hippopotamus was grunting with dis
gust, the same old Persian OK was
kicking up the dust, the same old
rheumatic acrobats crawled painfully
round, and the ossified contortionlst
was crawling on the ground and ladies'
rode barebacked steeds to music sad
and slow-the same old girls we used
to see some 20 years ago.-MinneapolIs

Died Rather Than XIII.

The responsibility Of taking human
life under any circumstances Is tremen-
dous. Unsuitable as it may be to kill
in self defense, we cannot but admire
the wonderful self control Of an Ar
menian who preferred to die rather
than live with blood upon his hands.
1t was during the horrible massacres
in Armenia. A native, says the Rev.
George H. Hepworth, was employed
in one of the railroad stations. He
was standing on the platform when
the mob approached. A Turk, who
knew the man to be a faithful serv-
ant, handed him q pistol, saying:
1T is an outrage. Take this and de-
fend yourself. It is good for six Of the
rascals."
The Armenian took the weapon, hest
tated for q moment, then handed 1t
back with q groan.
II can't do it, he said. II had
rather die than commit murder"
In less than ten minutes he was
a bruised and bleeding corpse, and the
fiends had started ON the track Of an
other victim.-Youth's Companion.

watched her husband light his third
cigar.

I would get Il divorced"
"Well, now, really, John, dear, what
do you call smoking, anyway"
"Why, inhaling tobacco smoke, Of
course"
"But | really don't understand your
objection to cigarettes" said she. Now
just look at this room; 1t is blue with
smoke. | have inhaled that into my
lungs for the last six years. 10 be sure,
you have held all the cigars, but then
nc really, what Is the difference?
Why would 1t be any worse for me to
hold a cigarette In my hand while ]
inhale the smoker"
cts Of no s trying to tell YOU
there's no arguing with a woman"
said John sarcastically.
"There's a little use in arguing with
some men, though" said his wife.
He didn't ask why, but she told him,
just the same, that 1t was because Of
the satisfaction Of coming out ahead

Love Of LieSer Not Hereditary.

Love OF LiQvor Not Hereditary.
Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study Of
Inebriety In England, came to these
conclusions: He held most strongly
that a direct transmission OF the taste
for alcohol never occurred. or
he accepted very fully the fact that
certain " diseases ana degenera.
tons involving certain altered and
weakened inhibitory powers are trans.
mitted from generation TO generation.
These. however, did not always as,
sumo the same form, the manifesto
ton Of the effect often taking on very
different characters In different gen.
eratiOns.
But whatever character they assum-
ed the result as regards alcohol vas
Inevitably the same, and until far more
evidence was brought forward than
had yet been presented he should
strongly maintain that VIVA was 80
often spoken Of MS an Inherited taste
for alcohol was an inherited weakness
and lessened self restraint affecting
many other things besides drink and
that a direct transmission OF the taste
for alcohol from parents to children
In a constitution otherwise healthy did
not occur. AZ with tuberculosis, the
disease was not transmitted, but only
the weakly and unbalanced condition
Of the tissues .-London Hospital.

Though He Knew Him.

DIR. Conan Doyle Is a methodical
worker and a hard worker. He pastes
up over his mantelshelf n list of the
things he intends to do In the coming
six months, and he sticks to his task
until It IL done. He must be a great
disappointment to his old teacher.
When he had finished school, the teach
er called the boy up before him and
said solemnly:
Doyle, l have known you now for
seven years. and know you thorough
~. am going to say something that
you will remember In after life. Doyle,

WY CATS Wash AFTER EATING.

-.--------- 81
You RAY have ~nctias!, little friends.
That cats .GaY't wash their faces
BEFORE they tGt, as chi!lren do,
In all good Christian places.
Well, years ago a famous cat,
The pangs Of hunger feeling,
Had CHANGED to Cd , Il a fine young mouse,
Who said as he u squealing:
GAIL genteel folks their faces wash
Before they think Of eating!"
And, wishing to be thought we'll bred,
Puss needed his entreating.
But when she raised her paw to wash,
Chance for escape affording,
The sly young mouse said his goodby
Without respect to wording.
A feline council met that day
And passed in solemn meeting
A law forbidding any cat
To wash till after eating. Outlook.

A certain Dyersburg woman assured
her husband she never told him a lie
