Every one knows that Australia and
New Zealand are trying many of the the
cries of social and political reform, gov
eminent ownership, the single tax and
other equally radical experiments. But
who knows how they are working in actu II
practice Theorists and doctrinaires have
written many books on the subject, but the

perienced observer has not been heard

Hon. Mrs. Green and Hon. Mr.. Choate

|
Hetty Green tells pretty good story on
the Hon. Joseph Choate, now American
ambassador to England, says the New York
| Herald.
On account of her great wealth, defend
ing lawsuits has been one of Mrs. Green's
speeialities. In one of the sui's against her
some time ago Mr.. Choate was counsel for
the other side.
The case had been we'll argued, the test
imony was in and the point reached for the
argument to the jury. 1t was time for
Mr.. Choate to make his speech.
During the progress OF the trial Mrs.
Green had kept away from the court room
in order to avoid the service Of papers !;
however, her interest in the trial was not
allowed to lauguish. The mind that had
made millions got to working and turned
out clever scheme to outwit the learned
Choate-"The Cherub," she called him
Disgusting herself effectually, even to
her face by covering it with a heavy Span
ish veil she slipped into the court room
and seated herself in conspicuous place
there.
The scholarly and eloquent Mr.. Choste
started upon bis address to the jury. 1t
was brilliant, as Mr.. Choate only knows
how to make such an address.
Now was the time to hurl at them the
grand climox-the gist of the whole case
rolled up into a pyrotechnic display of
words He hurled, but Mrs. Green was
on bis trail. just as he reached the psJ-
Geological moment, right In the midst OF
bis highest flight of oratory, Mrs. Green
pulled out large pillow sham and began
to slmper and sob violently.
The effect was ludicrous. Judge, jury,
spectators-the whole court room suddenly
centered on Mrs. Green, and with difficulty
the court could prevent burst of laughter
at the comical situation. 1t broke up the
jury completely, and Choate's fine climax
and impressive peroration were lost in the
general distraction.
That was just what Mrs. Green had ex-
pected and planned.

programs of elaborate music that will only
permit of few appropriate remarks by the
pastor, and feel the liveliest satisfaction
when they see large congregation of reg
ular absentees assemble to enjoy, free Of
expense, the first class sacred concert that
has been provided for their entertainment.
Convinced that extra inducements must
every now and then be offered to bring
these people out, the pastors become as
keenly alert as theatrical managers for
special features that they can introduce to
sugar-coat the religious pill and make the
services bright and interesting.
Still the root of the trouble is not in the
services or in the pastors, but in the Sun
day morning nap that nothing disturbs I'M
til the church bells break the trance which
would otherwise extend to noon.
When the church bells toll for the last
time there begin to be signs of life about
divers and sundry habitations which indi-
cate that the inmates are rallying from a

Dear Sir There is going to be, from

we know of it good in 10; and we know no
Emit-it seems to be likely to last es long as

The painter that uses this paint will get all
the business he can do.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. 1t looks
as good as any costs no more and is ready
no tinting or mixing to do.
The zinc is ground in with the lead by ma
