An immortal Grafton.

The funeral Grafton Of Pericles Is
pretty nearly what was actually spo-
ken. or else it is the substance of the
speech written out in the historian
own words, says James L ID Rhodes
in The Atlantic. Its intensity of feel
ing and the fitting of it so well into the
situation Indicate it to be living con
temporaneous document, and at the
same time 1t has that universal appli-
cation which we note in so many
speeches of Shakespeare.
A few years after our civil war a
lawyer In a city of the middle west
who had been selected to deliver the
Memorial day grafton came to friend
of his in despair because he could write
nothing but the commonplaces about
those who had died for the Union and
for the freedom of race which had
been uttered many times before, and
he asked for advice.
Take the funeral Grafton Of Pericles
for a model" was the reply. Use his
words where they will fit aud dress up
the rest to suit our day"
The orator was surprised to find how
much of the Grafton could be used bod
lily and how much, with adaptation,
was germane to his subject.

A certain congressman went nome at
a very early hour in the morning. He
had made a night of it with some
friends. He knew that his conduct
would be considered reprehensible by
his better half. and so, as he assembled
the steps of his modest home, he rack
ed his brain for some plan TO avert the
lady's wrath. As he entered the hall
he saw an umbrella. Instantly 1t oc-
Cured to him that the umbrella might
be his salvation.
He carried the umbrella up stairs.
Seating himself on chair In the cor
ner of the bedroom, he raised the rain
guard over his head, and then he
coughed loudly. His wife awoke and
saw in the dim gaslight her liege lord
sitting solemnly under the raised UNI

What are you doing?" she asked In
natural surprise.

him from a Caudle lecture. He is wor-
rying now, however, to find an equally
effective act for the next time he stays

as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about as
on every hand and we are con-

Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.

people buy comb honey" said a
man from the country, believing that
the fact that 1t is sealed by the honest
little bee precludes the possibility of
fraud The fact Is that the bees of
many professional honey ralsers do
nothing the livelong summer but pack
glucose into their hives from an open
barrel that is left standing close by.
The bee will not search fragrant flow
ers the livelong day for a trifling
amount of pure honey when he can get
glucose. The honey men see that there
is plenty of glucose handy, and instead
of one pound of pure honey they aid
the bees in putting ten pounds of glu-
cose on the market.
Human Ingenuity has not devised
way for making and sealing the honey
comb, or the bee would be dispensed
with altogether. In handling the glu-
cose the bees give 1t honeyish flavor.
and If you complain to the bee man
that 1t is not as sweet and sticky as 1t
should be be will tell you that ii is the
earl, crop and that the heavy rains
make 1t thin
81 know a man who keeps 80 hives
of bees on the roof of his store In the
city. and by hustling up plenty of gln-
cose he gets enough honey out or the
buzzng slaves to do a wholesale bust
ness in honey. Why. his bees never
saw n flower and would shy at hon
eysuekle If they happened to come near
one. He will not even let the poor
things have a recess to get drink OF
water, but keeps a pan of fresh water
near the hives for them to drink

fight with Jem Belcher the English

pistols. The two met by appointment,
but their seconds, unknown to them.
