FIRST Silver Wedding.

According to q historian, this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. It was in the time of Hughes
Caput. Two of his most faithful serv-
ants, man and a woman, had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman, he said: Your
service is great, greater than the mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
a man, and therefore / will give you a
reward. At your age l know of none
better than dowry and husband.
The dowry is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you for five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you, then the husband is ready"
your majesty" said the old peasant,
chow is it possible that we should mar
ry, having already silver hairs?"
'Then it shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin Of the silver
wedding, custom which, spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known to the world.

Points ON a Lobster.

A lobster is found in the water, but
not always-in fact, some of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell a lobster by it's
actions. For instance, if young man
enters a crowded drawing room and
walks all over the feet of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes q lobster.
The fathers Of Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it is difficult to be a
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
It is an odd fact that many girls
seem to admire Holsters. 1t would
seem that girl ought to know better,
but she doesn't until she marries q
lobster. Then she tumbles.
HOLSTERS have no brains. If you
don't believe it, split a.lobster's head
open with an AK if you don't care any
thing about the Ak.
This world would be a much more
desirable abiding place if there were
no Holsters in it.-Ohio State Journal.

An East Indian Verdict.

In case in one Of our Indian courts
q Jury had before them evidence that
could not be in any way shaken. When
the concluding stage had been reached,
the following interchange Of conyersa-
ton took place between the judge and
his colleagues in the administration Of
justice:
Gentlemen, are you ready to give
your verdict?'
Eyes"
"What is your verdict?'
"Our answer is, sir. that you can dc
as you like with the men that have con-
fessed, but we acquit all the rest"
"But is it possible that you have
weighed the evidence?"
"Evidence like this can always be
fabricated"
"Do you find that as regards these
prisoners it has been fabricated"
evidence can be fabricated.'

In the School of Work.

Charles A. Dana of the New York

A Youthful Promoter.

a hOrseman had an amusing expert
-ence near the speedway few days
ago. He called to an idle newsboy to
hold his horse while he made a call on
n client On leaving the house he was
surprised to see another boy in charge
of the horse SO he asked:
CLOVIS this? You are not the boy I
left my horse with"
"No, sir. I jist spekilated and bought
him of the other boy for 10 cents. He
said as how you were only worth a
nickel, and 1 says you were good for a
quarter. SeeY
The boy got the quarter and went
around the corner, where the first boy
was waiting under an open window in
the home Of the horseman's friend.
"That's the way ter work the sWells,"
said the young Spectator to his COM
panion. EFF you had staid, he Woulder
cOughed up q dime. The bluff made
him ershamed to hand over less than

keep the eXtry cent for permotin dis

Restoring the Polish.

Says a housekeeper: 'My piano,
which had been covered with cambria
cover, was loaded with dust that had
sifted through the sleazy cloth. The
dust was too thick to be wiped off. 1t
should have been blown and lightly
whisked off first, but this my maid did
not do, and in consequence the CRIME
was wiped in for all l know with a
damp cloth. At all events the highly
polished surface was clouded over al
most to a gray, and 1 was in despair
until q friend suggested remedy. She
advised me to wiring as dry as | could
a piece of chamois from out basin
of water and rub the piano until the
chamois was bone dry. This l have
done and completely restored the pol
ish."

How 80 Treat a Cook.

Unto no department in life," says
Yuan Mel, a Chinese authority on
cooking, should Indifference be allow
ed to creep; into none less than into the
domain of cookery. Cooks are but mean
fellows, and ia day is passed without
either rewarding or Furnishing them
that day is surely marked by negli-
gence or careIessness on their part. If
badly cooked food is swallowed in 81
lence, such neglect will speedily be-
come a habit. Still, mere rewards and
Dunishments are of no use If dish is
good, attention should be called to the
why and the wherefore. If bad, an eff
fort should be made to discover the
cause of the failure"

Tennessee's Wealth of Oak Timber.


One of Tennessee's richest fields Of
natural resources is in it's forests. Most
of her timbered land is as yet virgin,
and at the top Of the list of the varie-
ties to be found is oak. That tree is
one Of the most valuable that ever
grew, and this state is more than usu-
ally rich in it.
Oak timber is practically indestructi-
BILE when not exposed to the elements
of the atmosphere. l mean that oak
timber can be submerged in the ground
or buried in the water, where the at
mosphere does not affect it, and it will
last for so many years that the man
who had put it there is dead and for
gotten by the time it has decayed.
It is a growing favorite, and deserv-
eddy so, in many ways Of manufacture
ing furniture and in finishing fine
houses. The price on it is always firm,
and every now and then it makes a
squirt and climbs up a point from which
it never will fall. If the forests Of this
tree to be found in Tennessee today are
here 90 years from now, this will be-
one of the richest states in the Union
Knoxville Sentinel.

WISCONSIN PICKINCS
Damaged by q Heavy Gale.

Kenosha, Wis, Sept. '10.-The heavy
northeast gale that prevailed over the
lake did a vast amount Of damage in
this city. All along the south part Of
the city the breakwater was badly
damaged and the force of the waves
broke through the Calkins pier leaving
a hole large enough to drive a wagon
through The pier was one of the
landmarks Of the city, and had been
used for many years as a resort for
bathers and fishers Other cribs be-
low the pier were carried away. The
government breakwater is not sup
posed to have been damaged, but the
officials have not been able to go to it
on account of the heavy seas. The loss
in Kenosha from the storm is esti-
mated at $1,000.
