"Well, Uncle joe" 1 said as l got
ready to drive on, you and Martha are
both wrong, and there was no cause to

Yes, by thunder, we had! Write

"Of course"
"And it revolves, doesn't it,"

"Well, Henry won't have it that way.
He says it's as fat as pancake and
that it don't revolve any more than our

it, and as wouldn't give in to him he
won't take me to the circus. He says
the circus might revolve and pitch US

LAZY AND COLD FLOODED.
An Incident That Nearly Cost siE
Hugh Rose His Peerage.

Hugh Rose His PeeFage.
Lord Strathnairn was the most indo-
lent, lackadaisical, languid person who
ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central India and
winning the splendid victories that i'm
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree. One day when Sir Hugh Rose
he was entertaining a gallant company
at dinner during the crisis Of the mu-
tiny.
With the utmost sang froid be was
delighting those near him with one OF
his best anecdotes. In the middle Of 1t
his orderly entered and after saluting
exclaimed, 1--WE have captured 200 reb-
els, sir" To him the general turned
and, with that elegant courtesy Of
manner on which he prided himself,
serenely replied, Thank you, SER
geant." But the man still remained
Again interrupting his chief, he said,
"But what are we to do with them,
sir?"
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, "hang them, Of course" And he
resumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle Of another
story by the sergeant, who came in and
said, please, sir, we've hung the lot,
SIR" The general turned, bowed slight
ly and in the sweetest manner lisped,
Thanks, sergeant-very many thanks"
and then went on with his anecdote as
if nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears Of Queen
Victoria, and she was so angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

Woman and the Drink Habit

The latest statistics regarding in
'briety are such as to cause consider
lble alarm, and we have the more rea-
ION to feel nervous for our future

Statistics one gets no record of the
ver increasing number of women in
he middle and upper classes who are
Fictims to this terrible vice, says The
|Lady's Pictorial. Their friends and
MEDICAL attendants hide it from the
world in many cases it is carried ON
lecretly, and only becomes known to
Iiorrified relatives when there is no

tendency nowadays to raise scares and
ant that folks with a serious crusade
o preach dread to say all they know
est they should be dubbed 'cranks' or
hamper the desired reform by getting
nhiscreet followers in their train. But
here is no doubt at all that drunken
hess among women is an evil we shall

after looking over site about three
or four miles from your present reser-
voir and about 300 feet higher, we feel
as though We might be able 30 make
you a proposition to get you water
from wells to be pumped by air-lift TO
your reservoir. Would you be kind
enough TO let us hear from you II this
matter interests you? II Il does we
would like to take the matter up fur-
ther with you"
In reply. President Belts said that
the department was preparing TO build
a reservoir TO store 100.0000 900 gallons,
and unless they could guarantee an
equal amount It was hardly worth while
going into the matter. H. however,
they had any information on the sub

The Ever Popular Blouse

A popular fancy dies hard, and the
blouse still lives to defy its detractors.
For winter wear it is made OF white
cloth or white nuns yelling, and elaib-
crate insertions of Irish lace vie with
stripes of Russian embroidery for the
privilege OF trimming it. A remark-
ably pretty effect is achieved at very
small cost by the trimming OF blouse

a Moorish antimacassar, while the in

TO Have Good Complexion

To secure a nice, clear complexion,
bathe night and morning using warm
water and a good soap. which must be
thoroughly rinsed OF before drying.
Eat in moderation, avoiding all indi-
gestible foods, strong tea, coffee and
alcohol. Keep as CHEEKY and amiable
as possible, for nothing causes uglieI
Zines in the face than depression and
ill-temper. When washing the hands
rub them over with bit OF lemon, for
the juice has a cleansing and softenine
effect on the skin. Ilemon-juice. di-
luted with an equal quantity of water
is sometimes used to remove freckles
but for many people this remedy would
be too drastic and would cause a rasf
all over the face.

consists only of curling your toes under

hold one up is mystery but they do

What Fencing Does for Women

women is valuable in giving roundness
of form and grace and elasticity OF
movement. 1t is with this point in

health and strength, that the art Of
fencing has always been praeticed IN
Europe.
Stiff and gouty tendencies, rheu
matism and sciatica have often beer
overcome by the proper use of fenc

this country and many of its merits ar
totally unknown.
