Held by Etiauette,

When Dom Pedro, then emperor of
Brazil, was entertained at the White
House, he had been told by confused
senator that it would be expected that
he, the emperor, should be the last of
the guests to depart.
The presidents wife, however inform
ed her other guests that they would be
expected to follow, not precede, the
royal party in leaving the house.
The result was that no one dared to
go for fear of breach of etiquette.
But at o'clock in the morning a tired
woman pretended illness, and the dead
lock was broken.
Great is etiquette, but common sense
Is sometimes allowable.

A New Departure.

The Chicago, Mil yankee & st. Paul
Railway has recently put in service on
its Pioneer Limited trains the largest
and handsomest dining car ever built.
1t is 81 feet in length from tip to tip,
and its. body is inches wider and
higher than the usual dining car. 1t
seats 80 people comfortably in movable
chairs, and has kitchen large enough
to permit the working of six cooks
which with six walters and conductor
make up the crew. The dining cars
heretofore in service did not provide
sufficient space to properly care for the
large number of patrons of the Pioneer,
so that it became necessary to have a
larger car. 26-3t

IN SEARCH OF A MOTIVE.
Justice Could Not BE Melted Out Un-
til the Difficult Problem
Was Solved.

There were seven men seated in
circle and an eighth standing up with
a rope around his neck when the
colonel rode up, relates an exchange.
AS he drew rein the leader of the seven
arose and said:
GLAD to see you, stranger. Perhaps
you'd like to assist in this necktie par
tyr"
Are you going to hang that man?"
asked the colonel.
For sure"
whats he done2"
"Stole that cayuse over thar. Yep,
wen hang him when we git around to
it. We've been discussin' the thing for
the last two hours"
"But what's the discussion?"
"As to his motive in stealth the cay
use. l contend that no man does any
thing without a motive, but just what
that cuss' motive was he won't tell,
and we can't fgger out. Mebbe you
kin help us Bit"
Why" replied the colonel, 81 should
say that his motive in stealing the cay
use was to have horse to ride"
"By John, but listen to thatl" ex-
claimed the man as he turned to his
companions. THAT was his motive, OF
course, and we've fooled away good
two hours over it. Yes, he wanted a
boss TO ride, of course, and now, as
thar is no other bizness before the
meetin', wen purceed to pull the rope
and execute iestice."

One would naturally think that the pack.
age dye business was small industry, but
there is more than one million dollars worth
of package dyes sold in the United States
every year.
One of the largest package dye factories
in the world is that Of the Putnam Fadeless
Dyes Co., Unionville, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To
put up this amount of dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes, think
of it, seven millions of envelopes laid length.
wise would reach distance of seven hun.
bred miles; if laid one upon the other they
would make pile of Putnam Fadeless Dyes
A. miles high. As each envelope has to be
handled five times before package is com
plete, the completion of three millions Of
packages requires that they be handled
thirty-fve million times. This of course
gives employment to a number of people
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone
employ almost a hundred people, 90 per
cent. of whom are young ladies'.
AS each package retails for 10c the weight
