Like many another famous man both

exhibited, al least In early life, @ great
reluctance TO settling with his credit
Ors. When he was appointed bishop OF
Autun by Louis XVI. he considered
6ne new coach TO be necessary to the
proper maintenance OF the dignity OF
that Office. Accordingly a coach was
ordered and delivered. but not paid FOR.
Some time after. as the newly appoint
ed bishop was about to enter his coach,
he noticed strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days until al length Talley-
rand. addressing the stranger. said:

Salad Eating Good Sense.

Even men are progressing gastronom-
ically. Scientific dietetics has at last
revealed TO us the fact that the woman
who eats salad on a hot day In July,
August or September Is displaying
sound gastronomlc sense, says What to
Eat. The long haired dreamer In the
restaurant may have been nineteen diff
ferent kinds OF fool upon every other
proposition in life, but he knew what
TO eat on hot day. The human ami
nal needs grass or Its equivalent In
summer. With their oil the salads sup
ply everything a man physically needs
in hot weather. All the civilized races
of the world are salad eaters, but Amer
leans eat less than do any other people.
1t is not sign Of mental decay or NOR
al degeneracy for man to eat salad; II
Is gastronomic sense.

AN OVERWORKED PHRASE.
Rhe Expression 'sHe Took Him Life In
His Hands"

"The expression he took his life in
his hands always struck me as being
very foolish" said a bright young gen
. tleman, and | have often wondered
why SO many persons persist in using
1t when they want TO speak OF eXtraor-
dinary dangers. Now. extraordinary
danger is one thing and the simple,
commonplace thing Of taking ones own
life In ones hands Is an entirely differ
ent thing.
Il work In a big building. There are
Il steam engine and a mammoth boiler
In the basement. Whenever | enter
that building, If they are running the
engine in the basement, | take my life
in my hands. | get on the elevator on
the fifth floor; | take my life In my
hands. | go out OF town; the car
may tumble over trestle somewhere.
/ walk along the street; sign may
fall on me. | make my way across the
thOroughfare; who knows but what
street car or vehicle of some sort
may not run me down? | cross the riv-
er; may l not suddenly find myself in
the swlrling stream and sinking for
the last time? If | walk along the
street, may not a brick or a loOsened
cornice come crashing down upon me?
There are a row and a shot or two on
the corner; may not a stray bullet wing
me: And So on.
''PessimiSmF No. Logic. That's all
1t just shows the difference between
taking ones own life in ones hand
and the matter OF confronting extraor-
dlnary danger. These risks are ordi-
nary, plain, old, everyday risks The
fireman who dashes into a burning
building to rescue a child, the fellow
who grabs the bride Of runaway
horse, the hero who Will plunge into
the river to save some person who Is
about to drOwn-these are the persons
! who confront what | would call eX-
traordinary dangers, and the worn
platitude of saying Of one Of these he
took his life In his hands would not
fit the case because there would be in
the act an element Of heroism which
would place it much above the com
monplace. New Orleans Times-Dem

AOYT'S JOKE ON M'kEE
How the Playwright Had Bit OF
Fun With His Manager.


ON one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching a performance from a
box, where he was seated with some
friends.
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that q
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
Tell him | can't come out-I'm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned in a moment to
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee, who again sent out word
that 1t was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent In the
message that he was an author and
had a play that he wished Mckee 10
read Immediately.
This incensed the manager, who said
to the usher:
Tell that fool out there that this is
no time TO bring play to be read.
Get him out of the place. won't see
him. | won't read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and informed Mckee that the
man utterly refused to go without see
ing him, and that he must be granted
an interview, also that he was quite
a sure that the manager would not only
read his play, but he would also pro
duce it, and added that he would bet
$1,000 that Hoyt & Mckee would be
only too glad TO get the play.
At that Mckee became furiously
angry, and, excusing himself TO his
party, left the box with the intention
of personally inviting the persistent
| author To begone.
where's that idiot who insists Oh
seeing me-" he asked OF the treasurer
at the box office. Then the treasurer
! pointed to a man standing in the shad
ow with a roll of manuscript under
his arm.
1t was Hoyt, with his newly finished
| play, which he handed to Mckee, who
| said to those present:

had been perfectly fresh when he sold
it, and for days he puzzled in vain over
