He REPLACED THE SHOES.
Took the Collector Who Was After
the Payment of Bill and
Had Him ShOd.

A prominent professional man of
Milwaukee formerly had the reputa-
tion of being slow in his payment of
small accounts. He made considerable
money in the practice of his profession
and a more frugal man would have
saved money, but he was thrift1ess and
Indifferent to money obligations in
true ratio to his brilliancy, says the
Sentinel.
He owed a coal bill among other
debts, and the coal dealer perservered
in the effort to get the money. He sent
his collector time after time to the
office of his gifted debtor. The col
lector was always received with ex-
IRENE politeness and shown every con-
sideration except money considera-
ton.
The genial person who owed the coal
bill would glance at the account rem
dered," nod his head in thoughtful
affirmation and. say that he believed
the bill to be regular. He did not deny
owing the money. 1t occurred to him
that the account had been standing for
some time. Had it not? The collector
would acknowledge that it had. That
being the case, it was all the more I'M
fortunate that the collector had select
ed such an unfortunate time for his
call. However, the collector would
doubtless be around again, sooner or
later. After this had been going on
for about two years the coal dealer
lost his temper. One day he sent his
collector with bill on which was writ
ten:
please settle at once. My collector
has worn out pair of shoes running
after you to get this money"
The brilliant professional man read
this communication and then said:
'sHumph! That's a shame. Come
with me-
He took the collector to shoe store
and bought him six-dollar pair of
shoes and had themcharged to his own
account. The collector is now wearing
out that pair of shoes in fruitIess visits
to the professional mans office.

TWO TALES OF TACT
How a Couple of Bright women Mar
aged to Smooth Over Two Un-
fortunate Situations.

Henry Loomis Nelson, in his article
in the Century, on Washington So
ciety, tells these anecdotes of the
capital as representative of the light
and shade of official life:
Madam said an old diplomat at
his own table, ST have some bonbons
here from Paris. They have medal
lions of the potentates of the world,
and have had your rulers face
stamped on one of them. Is it not
a good Iikeness?" And he handed
chocolate to the woman on his right,
who, for reasons of her husbands,
did not like the new president.
eve have no rulers in this coun-
try" said the gracious guest, throw
ing the chocolate under the table.
The hosts attention had been at
tracted elsewhere, and he did not see
the insult, but he was made aware
of something by the silence which
followed. However, before he could
know what had happened, a young
woman's voice said to the butler:

Mrs. c. dropped? 1 want to look

One day delighted and awkward
new statesman was taking tea at
the house of clever woman, and

mind, his hostess broke it's mate, say

''Never put these cups on the table

dent DR.. j. II. George, who conferred
the degree, came to Miss Fenshaw he
remarked with much feeling: "This

Florence A. Fensham is a native of
East Douglas, Mass. When she was
very young her family moved to AL
bany, n. Y, where she was brought
up. At an early age she showed I'M
usual mental ability. This spirit was
fostered by her parents, who gave her
every possible advantage. In this
country she has been a student at Cor
nell and at Harvard, afterward going
abroad to study>in the University of
Edinburgh and afterward studying
theology at Mansfield college, Oxford.
under Dr. Fairbairn.
After completing her course of
study at Oxford, Miss Fensham went
to Constantinople, where she occupied
the chair of biblical literature and
comparative religion in the American
college for girls in this oriental city.
She also holds the important position
of dean of the college.
Ills SOlIGSC LII SILlS Is the OuI-
growth of a high school founded in
Constantinople in 1871 by the woman's
board of missions for "the thorough
education and Christian culture of
girls in the orient" The growth of
the school was so rapid and its work
so important that the institution was
incorporated as a college by the legis-
Iature of Massachusetts, in 1890. In
1894 an imperial trade was granted the
college by Abdul Hamid H., assuring
its permanency by the official recogni-
ton of it as an educational institution
in the Turkish empire.
Miss Fensham has thrown herself
heart and soul, into her work, in which
she is great enthusiast.
"The object of our work." she ex-
planned, sis to give the higher Chris,

English, and the facility with which
these eastern girls acquire it is really
remarkable"
During the whole period of hel
study at the Chicago theological sem
mary, Miss Fensham held the ''higl
honor scholarship" which is awarded
to the attainer of 95 per cent. in every
branch of study. 1t is a remarkabl,
and noteworthy fact, however. tina

WOMAN WINS DEGREE.
Miss Florence A. Fensham, First
Woman Bachelor of Divinity in
congregational Church.

When Christianity and the Christian
church were given to the world the
promise was: "Your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy." This ideal
of Christian womanhood has been a
long time in evolving. Modern condi-
tions, however, make it increasingly
possible for women to follow the
CLEAN" where it may lead. The num-
Der who have been led into the min
istry of the church is vet small, but
more and more are the Scriptures be-
ing verified in this respect.
Miss Florence A. Fensham, of Con-
Etantinople, Turkey, has achieved the
signal distinction of being the first
woman in the history of the Congrega-
tional church to receive the degree of
bachelor of divinity. This honor has
just been conferred upon her at the

NOT so DANGEROUS.
American Countries Not So
Bad as Pictured.

Mr.. William C. Agile, who has spent
many years in South America, upsets
many old notions about dangerous
reptiles. When he first went to
South America, he writes in his
pamphlet on Eastern Peru and BO-
livia," he had the conventional pic
lures in his mind of men being
crushed and swallowed by anacondas
and boas.
Years ago, he says, I read an ac-
count written by naturalist of
these monsters in their native state,
coiling and uncoiling themselves like
lightning, and coughing and kissing
with such a roar as could be com
pared only to the exhaust of pow
erful steam engine.
What 10 the truth about these
mysterious reptiles? I have asked
nearly every native L met in the
South American countries if he had
ever seen a boa or an. anaconda.
Most of them had not. To those
who had, I put the question:
''What Go they look like?"
And TIE answer was always:
''Their movement is very, very slow,
and they are not ferocious."
met an anaconda on the Upper
Maranon, a great black and yellow
snake, all coiled up. I drew my re
volver and fired at the coil. Instead
of the terrible commissions of which
I had read, the coil rolled over, re-
manned stationary moment, then
rolled back and lay as before. I
fred again. The coil sank slowly
in the water and disappeared.
These snakes can easily be do
mesticated. Some men ran upon
an anaconda in the woods near a
rubber camp. They threw a fish
net over it and brought it to camp,
where they let it go. 1t crawled
away into the river, but came back
so often and crawled around the
yard so much that they got tired
of looking at it. So they put it in
box and sent it to Iquitos. We
measured it; it was just "a feet 6
inches long.
From all have been able to~learn
about these reptiles, 1 believe they
belong to the same harmless species
as the bull snake of western prai-
ries, and will harm nothing that lets
them alone, except such small prey
as they require for sustenance.

How many girls there are, and for
that matter men and boys as well, who,
without going actually color-bIind,
yet seem to lack the power of judging
whether certain colors blend, or
whether two colors, or combinations
of colors. will harmonic when placed
in iuXtaposition. For instance, to an
inexperienced and not specially
trained eye it is no easy matter to say
whether trimming will match a ma
terial in which, perhaps, seven or eight
colors are employed in various proper
tions, or what is the dominant color in
another material that consists of
medley of colors. The following lit
tie device, which is only hOmely adap-
