At one of the clubs one evening Mr..
Montagu Williams met Lord -, who
had just lost his father. The young
lord was naturally melancholy, and
the lawyer proposed visiting a theater
opposite, which proposition was ac-
cepted. There WAS a slight fire in the
theater whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, like a rabbit"
out of the building. Returning leisure
ly to the club. Mr.. Williams found
there his young friend quietly smok-
ing cigar.
"What on earth made you bolt that
way? You seemed frightened out of
your wits mot a difficult matter, per-
haps). Don't you know that on such
an occasion if everybody got up and
rushed out panic would ensue, with
very likely fatal consequences? Why
on earth couldn't you sit STILL as | did
There was nothing serious the mat
ter" Upon this, with the most pat
ronizing air. the young gentleman re-
piled. ooh. yes, that's very well for
you. but you've not just succeeded to
a peerage and G2oO00 year"

hadn't been so much fuss made over
1t, as if it was Il bright thing for any

that | never said anything of the kind.
When you're kicked by mule, you're
not in frame of mind for consider

COLLEGE BRED WOMEN.
Do They Laok the Charm Of Manner
Men AdnIref

The question Of the college girl in So
ciety is Of equal importance with that
of the college man In business, for as
business is the vocation of most men
so 'society," using the word III its
broadcst sense and including in II q
the social relations, claims 50 much
OF the time Of many women that the
few who take to public careers can
safely be left out Of the discussion
They are exceptional cases and do
not affect the main point at issue. II
Is in her duties as friend. hostess, wife
and mother that woman usually finds
the larger part of her existence. and If
her attractiyeness and usefulness in
the discharge of these duties are i'm.
paired by her devotion to purely in.
telrctual pursuits most men feel and
express an unqualified dissatisfaction.
1t is asserted that many college wo-
men are found to lack that charm Of
manner and those graces Of eyeryda.
life which men desire and demand. A
woman may be learned. but if she can
not talk small talk. which is the lar
gest part of talk. if she cannot manage
a crowd Of men and women in her
drawing room. If she is without social
tact and if she has no interest and
skill in the small things Of ordinary
existence, but is continually leading
the higher life it is a sad bur iudis-
putable fact that her men friends viii.
to use their own low expression. pass
her up" They do not want that kind
OF woman.
In man all corresponding defects
would be excused for the reason that
his life work lies in other directions
This is perhaps exceedingly UNJUST;
but, like other things in this world, its
injustice is no proof that 1t does not
exist. 4 man who fails in his social
relations may still be useful person
Such is not the case with the vast ma
jority of womcn.-Chicago Tribune.

A Wild RIde.

A peasant was recently gathering
dry wood in a forest near Kastamuni
when bear suddenly appeared before
him. The frightened man sought ref
uge in the branches OF tree, which
broke, and the peasant fell at the feet
of the bear. Bruin was quite overcome
with surprise, SO much so that the
peasant who preserved his presence
of mind, was instantly astride the
beast, using his ears as bride The
bear tried Intellectually to throw him
and then, starting on wild rum issu-
ed from the forest and approached
village. The rider shouted loudly for
help, and in a few minutes the whole
population turned out armed with
guns and scythes. A crack shot fired
bullet into the bears head, and the
peasant was able to leave his mount
unhurt.-Kastamuni Turkey Official

Greenville Whiteleaf sat at his break
fast Friday morning scanning the col
umns of his morning paper. The TIA
bic girl entered the dining room in
time to see him tear a page from the
paper and, after kicking his chair aside,
hastily leave the room. From the mo-
ment of leaving his breakfast table I'M
til the closing OF the ward caucuses,
nearly a month later. the old banker
worked necessarily for the defeat of
Dick Dean and the success Of Jonas
Norden. Money was used freely, but
many of those who accepted it went
into the caucuses and, protected by
the secret ballot system, cast their
vote for the man who had dared to
say what he would do if elected. The
bankers protege was buried by a vote
of two to one.

A popularity of the Glove tree is that
every part of IT is aromatic though the
greatest strength is in the bud Be
sides the buds, the stems are gathered

handing one-tifth the price of cloves

that ground cloves can be purchased

than whole cloves.
