Sir Algernon West tells this story in
his "Recollections:" One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had very
strident, loud, rasping voice, called on
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to Mr.. Gladstone, to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an M. p
who, he said, was very anxious to see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of we'll
known peer who was most DESTROYS to
have word with him. Again the lat
ter said he was too busy to see him
just then. In another minute the man
again came in with huge card saying
the lords mayor and sheriffs of London
wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West
very urgently in the next room.
Sir AlgernOn apOlogized to Sir George
and went out to such great dignitaries.
When he got out of the room, the office
keeper startled him by saying, ''There
amt nobody here, sir, but 1 was afraid
mailman had been shown in to you
by mistake, and 1 wanted to warn you,
sir"

Do You Eat Out or In?

The number and variety of knives
and forks that now grace we'll equip
ped and formal dinner table may we'll
dismay one unused to such a variegat-
ed display of cutlery and silver. There
are forks for the oysters, for the fish
and for the roast and forks as we'll for
anything else that may be served.
There are also knives to correspond to
the forks that may be needed. These
implements that social convention de-
crees to be necessary to convey food to
the mouth are usually laid out in for
midab1e rows on either side of the
plate,
The other evening a simple western
maiden at her first eastern dinner sur
veyed her supply of knives and forks
with growing trepidation. Her COM
mon sense told her that they were laid
out in the regular order in which it
was intended that they should be used,
but nothing in her experience had
taught her which was the right end of
the row to start in with. Finally, in
despair, she sought help from her next
door neighbor, prominent physician
''Say, doc" she questioned anxiously
as she pointed at the offending objects,
''do you eat out or in?"-New' York

Camp Douglas Range, Wis, Aug. IA.

Camp Douglas Range, Wis, Aug. IA
The men Of battery A, First artillery
of Milwaukee, performed a feat Sat
urday night that has probably not been
attempted by any other national guard
battery in the country-that of going
into camp in the dark and during a
storm. They arrived at the station
here at 10 a. M, just as the close of
the most terrible thunder storm of the
season. They went to work at once
to unload their horses and artillery.
1t required twelve minutes to get
their horses out of the cars and fifteen
to unload the cannon. The start was
made at once for the reservation.
though it was so dark that the road
was almost indistinguishable. On ar
irving at the grounds the cannon were
parked" and the horses Dicketed.
Then, near dawn, the tents were
pitched and the camp was made.

Broken Brio a HracS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
49, Is pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the so, call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 a month throughout the country.
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not &C
cept any off hand, advicefrom druggist.
If you are at al handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti-
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

A Spree ON Sixnence.

An excellent Scotchman had for 81
years brought home his full wages
every week, says the Newcastle eng
land Chronicle. Once at the end of the
period he gave his wife siXpence less
than the full amount This so distress
ed the thrifty woman that she went to
consult the meenister on the subject.
He tried to comfort her by saying that
sixpence in 81 years was not large
amount.
'It's ma the money am thinking Of"
she replied, ''but am fearing that Mac
has been taking to drink and betting,
maybe, and other worldly pleasures

In the f"sawdust towns the small
boys have exceptional facilities for
learning to turn somersaults and hand
springs in the great beds of sawdust
that surround the mills. Soon they be-
gin to try the more difficult feats they
see done in the shows that visit the
towns. After school hours they tun-
Bile until it is time to go home and do
the chores" From out of them all
there generally rise two or three boys
who get the knack of the acrobatic
