Mistook Feather For Insect.

Growing out of a misunderstanding
IN a figure of the german, strained re-
lations existed between Miss Guard
and Carruthers. Next morning, in
church, Carruthers was thinking "
the situation, planning some delicate
of modifying his sweet foe.
While mentally perfecting the details
of the scheme, he felt an insect on
the back of his neck.
Steadily the thing advanced, and
he could almost feel the touch Of each
separate leg as it marched over the
sensitive skin. His first impulse was
to smash the creature then and there,
but he took a momentary pleasure
In seeing how long he could endure
the sensation with mastery stoicism.
At last he made a fierce backward
grab for the marauding bug, and found
in his hand the dainty feathered hat
of Miss Guard, whose pretty head had
been bent in prayer.
The strained relations still exist

Literal Obedience.

A young teacher who was graduated
from the Normal School was asked to
substitute a higher grade than her
own. She was a little nervous over
the temporary promotion, and was
anxious that everything should go off
in the usual good order. While in
structing the class in composition she
said: "Now, children, don't attempt
any flights of fancy. Don't try to i'm
itate the things you have heard, but
just be yourselves and write what is
really in you"
AS a result OF this address one lit
tie boy turned in the following compo-
sition:
"I amt goin' to attempt no fits of
of fancy; I'm just goin' to write what's
in me and I got a hart, a liver, two
lungs, and some other things like
that; then I got a stummick, and it's
got in it a pickle, a piece Of pie, two
sticks Of peppermint candy and my
dinner."-Chicago Journal.

Is the Novelist Born or Made.

I There Is an interesting symposium
IN The Young Man on the subject OF
SLOW to Become a Novelist" from
which. however, the aspiring romano
LIST will not derive very much encour-
agement. Mr.. William LIE Queux leads
Off with the expression of opinion
that a wide and diffuse knowledge Of
the world is one of the first essentials
10 success in fiction. Lucas Malet is
o~ld-fashioned enough to believe that
the novelist is born, not made. while
Mrs. w. K. Clifford is pretty much OF
the same opinion, and Ellen Thorney-
croft Fowler systematically re-
marks that writing IS like flirting,
II you can't do it, nobody can teach
you to do it.
Mr.. Gilbert Parker is Of opinion
that .icticn writing al be learned
but not taught, and Mr.. E. F. Benson
thinks that there are only two indis-
pensable gifts for a novelist-an eye
for dramatic situation, and the power
of putting down in plain English what
he sees. Mr.. w. w. Jacobs cOntrl-
button is characteristic. Cali the adj
vice In the world would not make
novelists of some people; a similarly
large quantity Of advice of another
kind would also fail to prevent others
from attaining success in hat direc-
tion."-Pall Mall Gazette.

 "It having been brought to the attention of the department that certain persons have sought to place strained construction upon the department circular, No. AS, under date of May z, 1902, the fol- lowing explanation thereof and supplemental instructions are here by issued:
 "The language employed in the circular referred to is as follows:

 "There is no warrant in this lan- guage or in any ruling of the de- partment that justified the import ation of cigars, spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in any other quan- titv or manner than provided by law, where there is anything in the circular to warrant the exemption of merchandise as such from duty. The statute used this language: Wearing apparel, articles of per sonal adornment, toilet articles and similar personal effects"

FIFTY YEAR OLD POLICY

Cancelled Because Man Made Wrong
 Statement About His Age.
 Chicago, Feb 6.--Because Thomas Chalmers, of the firm. of Fraser & Chalmers, made a mistake in his age a life insurance company has can. celled policy on his life issued more than fifty years ago. Mir Chalmers has brought suit in the superior court to have the company's action annulled.
 When MT Chalmers in 1851 was. as he says in his bill, "a workingman fol. lowing his trade as a machinist," he took out policy for $210O. giving the date of his birth as June 4. 1920. A few years later his daughter visited his old home in Scotland and. consult. ing the parish register. discovered that the date of her fathers birth was June 14. 1818.
 MT Chalmers took out another policy for $2,000 with the company in 1866 and in filing his application gave his correct age. He continued to pay the premiums on his first policy, he says after the second policy had made the company acquainted with his true age Finally, in 1901, the policy was can. celled.
