More Reenectful.

Among the stories told Of Charles
Lever, the witty novelist, Is one which
concerns the days when he was British
consul at Triest.
He had accompanied his daughter TO
London for a little social enjoyment
and had neglected to go through the
formality Of asking for leave OF alb
sence. On his arrival in London he
was invited to dinner by Lord Lytton,
who was delighted to see him.
When he arrived Mt Lord Lytton's
house, his host said: "I'm SO glad YOU
have come! You will meet your chief,
Clarendon"-the minister Of foreign af-
fairs.
The novelist, much embarrassed, be-
gan to give reasons why he must tear
himself away, but before he could
make his escape Lord Clarendon was
announced and almost at once espied
him.
"Ah, Mr.. Lever" he said blandly. II
didn't know you were in England-in
fact, l was not even aware that you
had asked for leave Of absence from
Triest"
"No-o, my lord" stammered the nov
elist, disconnected for a second, but no
more than that; mo, my lord, thought
1t would be more respectful to your
lordship to come and ask for it in per-
son!-Youth's Companion.

studies In Small CHANGE.

"It takes all sorts Of people to make
carful," said the conductor Of a
Market street trolley car. "If it wasn't
SO exaspcrating, it might be amusing
to study the methods different people
have Of paying their fares.
"For Instance, there's the man who
never carries his small change loose
in his pocket for fear Of losing some Of
it. He has little purse, and it takes
him longer to fish out q nickel, especial
ly If he has gloves on, thnn it takes q
woman to collect five pennies from the
various compartments of her pocket
book. Then there's the follow who
hates 10 break a quarter or half do:-
lnr and goes through his pockets look
ing for IN elusive nickel. On the other
hand, some men will invariably offer
q So bill and sometimes SIS bill, and If
you refuse to accept 1t they will fork
over cent piece with the reluctance
Of much abused individual.
"There is one old chap who rides
down with me every morning and who
has never yet given me a tarnished
coin. He always has pocketful Of
brand new nickels. think he must
get them from the subtreasdry."-

Twelfth Day Customs.

The festival OF Twelfth day has an
unfamiliar sound to most Of Us, but for
many years the night of Jan. 6, IL days
after Christmas, has been commence
rated with special services. This day
is in memory Of the visit Of the magi
to the child Jesus, their journey being
supposed to have occupied that length
OF time from the appearance Of the star
until their arrival at the manger.
1t is known as "old Christmas" dat
ing from the old style calendar still
used by the Russian church. In every
European country this day is remem-
bered with gayety. In the Isle Of
Man barn dances" are given, every
parish hiring fiddler.
In Germany Twelfth day !s called
'Three Kings day" and in France
"Bean Kings day."
The feature Of Twelfth day ls the
baking Of cake which contains one
bean. When the cake Is cut and the
pieces divided, he who ends the bean
In his slice is declared king, and he
must arrange all amusements until the
following Twelfth day, when the new
king is chosen.

A Rusaian sleigh Ride.

A N0b1I1n SAeIBA ktt0ee
George Fuller vigorously describes
his first sleigh ride behind a trio Of Rus
sian fiers: "After spending two weeks
In st. Petersburg In company with the
general in charge Of the imperial stud
I proceeded to Krenovol. which is 800
miles southwest of, st. Petersburg. We
were met at the railway station with
the reg iation winter conveyance, q
low sleigh. with three horses hitched
ab-east, G trotter in the center and n
runner on each side. Then commenced
the journey to the stud. and never
will forget that trip. After we were
seated In the sleigh and were comfort
ably wrapped up In the fur robes the
driver. who drives his team standing
upright. gave an Indian warwhoop. and
NC vert on.

Patience and sympathy.

There is nothing harder FOR young
mother than to find herself suddenly
so placed that she is unable to come
and 60 freely. as was her wont IN the
early married days before the baby
came, while the father comes and goes
as ever and is not tied down at all.
The father must be very patient and
sympathetic while the mother adjusts
herself to this new lie nf here, Sc g
sweet woman soon will learn to do, for
IL he is thoughtless here he ia plant
ing seeds Of failure which will grow
to gigantic proportions. He must keep
in touch with the mother In these days,
that they may walk together later and
all through even to the end.-Ladies'

A Historic Flag.

The South Carolina Veterans will
take to the Confederate Reunion at
Louisville, May 30 to June 3, the fa-
nous flag of the Palmetto regiment.
The flag probably has moro interest
ing history than any flag in the coun-
try. The flag was presented to the S.
Z. regiment by Gen. Scott at the City
OF Mexico, to be carried in lieu Of the
tattered banner which had been pre-
sentHd to the regiment by the ladies
OF. Charleston in 1916. It was the
hrst dag planted on tie walls of the
City of Mexico, having been hauled
up by the South Carolinians three
hours before any other division enter
ed tho city.
The historic flag was loaned to the
End S. Z. regiment in the late war aud
carried to Cuba. 1t was hoistcd over
MORO Castle. The flag is probably
the only one in the United States tn at
was carried in the two foreign wars
that the United States has engaged in
and it is the only flag that has beer
hoisted over the capitals of the tw,
countries with which the Unite,
States went to war. 1t was brough
back from Havana in powder sacl
and returned to the Palmetto regimen
survivors.
The original flag Of the regimen
was stolen BY Sherman comman,
when it passed through Chester, S. G
Chattanooga Times.

One Against the Mean Nan.

A capital Joke Is related of q man
who positively made q fine art OF

often did, lie would keep railway por.

and then purposely defer the much de.
served perquisite till the starting Of the
train made Its payment practically i'm.
possible.
One morning. however. when about
to journey to Birmingham, he executed
this maneuver once too often on the
same man.
"Dear; dear, am so sorryp he said
as the train gave q lurch forward. 81

"And I'm rale sorry, too, sir" was
tho porter's dry retort. "I quite forgot
