Wha The Gentleman Thought.

A highly respectable but simple gen.
tlennan discovered the other day that
he had left his umbrella somewhere.
He had visited three shops, and he
felt sure it must be in one of them.
So lie started back and visited all
three in turn.
"It has not been round here" he
was told in the first shop, and he
shrugged his shoulders a little and
went out.
At the next shop the same response
was made He shrugged his shoulders
still higher and went to the. third
Cne.
There the umbrella was waiting,
and was promptly handed over to
him.
"Well," he exclaimed, with satisfac'
ton. II must say that you are more
honest than they are at those other
shops. ."-Tit-Bits.

NOT a Nervous People.

So much has been said of American
nervousness-of the stress of business
life in this country and its common
effects of shattered nerves, insomnia,
mental deterioration, insanity, physl-
cal breakdown and suicide-that most
people accept it all as established, and
nobody stops to examine whether it
be true. Also it is assumed that
Americans as rule are so much IN
love with the accumulation of money
that they take no time and have no
care for the enjoyment OF their
wealth. The first foreigner to place
lis own observations against the wide
spread opinion is Ludwig Max Cold
berger, prominent German who
spent eight months in the United
States with his eyes open and his
mind alert. He denies that the
American business man is nervous
wreck and that the race for wealth
has robbed him Of his capacity to en-
;cy anything but money making. On
the contrary, while one sees endless
activity and ceaseless industry "and
always industry" still "the nerves of
the industrious ones are of steel and
not to be shattered. ."-Phtladelphla
