One Sure Sion,

A story illustrating the hard-head.
edness and sheer common sense of
the late DR.. McCosh, the noted dean
of the faculty of Princeton Univer-
sity, was told recently. He made
the acquaintance of a couple of
Scotsmen who worked as farm hands
on an estate near Princeton, and,
learning that they did not go to
church, hauled them over the Goals
for backsliding and induced them to
attend Sunday services regularly.
They were supplemented men, with
immense respect for the venerable in
structor, and they invariably ran to
him to settle disputes or to advise
them in matters of business. One
morning they appeared before him as
he was going to chapel, and told him
they had had a quarrel as to the sign
of hearing the first cuckoo of the
season. Jamie had said that it was a
sign that the one who heard.it would
speedily marry; Sandy declared it was
a sign that the hearer would get
speedily rich.
Its a sure sign of somethin', doc
tor. What may it be? Can we tell
u.s."
Yes said the doctor. ITO hear
the first cuckoo of the season is a
sure sign you're not deaf"
And he solemnly turned on his
heel and left them staring after him.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top Of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each enc with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

KING EDWARD IN London.
Stands Erect in The Landau, Bow
ing And Smiling.
APPARENTLY NOT FATlGUED.

London, Aug. s.-Judging by APP
pearances, the king not only will be
able to go through the coronation
ceremonies, but will be perfectly capa-
BILE of performing all functions of the
service without discomfort His re-
out any i'll effects.
When the train arrived, the king, ac-
companied by the queen and Princess
Victoria, stepped out of the car and
walked across a crimson cloth on the
platform some twenty yards, to his
carriage. The queen and Princess
Victoria entered the vehicle and the
king followed, apparently without
difficulty, and four royal servants
placed rugs about his knees. The king
stood up straight, as if he had never
had an illness in his life, took off his
hat and bowed to friends on the plat
form and to the crowds behind the
barriers. He seemed to be in the
greatest good humor and evidently was
delighted to get back.
The admiring comments of the crowd
along the kings route from Victoria
station to Buckingham palace were
mingled with expressions of amaze
ment at the appearance of his majesty
riding in an open landau and much of
the time bare-headed, he having re-
moved his silk hat. The king kept
continually bowling and smiling in
response to the cheers of the people
The long route via Grosvenor place
and Hyde park corner, and thence
down Constitution hill, was followed.
The king passed through a great sea
of waving hats and handkerchiefs as
he drove up to the palace. He was ap-
parently not fatigued by the excite
ment of his reception.

Wanted Too Much.

The late E. M. Reed was vice-presi
dent of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad in the palmy
days when that road was paying 10
per cent dividends. Reed was close
buyer and used all the arts and sub
tleties necessary to hammer prices
down to their lowest figure. One day
he was negotiating for an improve
ment in the way of a locomotive ap-
pliance, and after wrangling for some
time over the price said to the sales
agent:
How much will your concern make
on this transaction To which the
reply came, Ten per cent"
Great Scott" said Reed, you want
to get 10 per cent profit on this one
sale, do you? Why, bless your soul, it
takes our road a whole year to make
10 per cent"

WOES OF GERMAN OFFICERS.
Matrimonial snags in the Path of Kali
ser's Soldiers.

mdtTIfnOflidl 0ndSS III tne rain OF HaI-
ser's Soldiers.
AS censor of military marriages,
German Emperor William has defined
what manner of wedlock is permits
sible to Prussian officers and what
marriages are 'strengthily under
said His new order states that an
officer with SLIPS year must have a
private income of 1915 in order TO
marry. A district officer of gendarmes
must add private means of 1925 year
to a salary of $500 to win the privil
eye. Officers who haven't $3.50 pay
mustn't marry at all.
The kaiser's is the busiest matri-
monial bureau in the world. Each
officer who desires to double his
duties and halve his rights" must
state his prospective father-in-law's
business and tell whether the lady is
maid, widow or divorce, and in the
latter case why. Proofs must be in
closed of her income, education and
repute. If there is no obstacle, social
or military, the wedding bells may
then peal out their merry note
Interest rates upon such German
investments as the 'kingly and kaiser
ly'' bureau will accept are low A
young fellow practically must have
$4,000 to $4,000 in his own name
before he can think of matrimony If
the lovelorn one has not the cash
well, in that case he can give up mis-
commission and come to a country
where he may marry on nothing a
year if he likes.

STORY OF LUNCHEON.
Amusing Account of the Way Eliza
beth Jordan Was Outwitted..

beth Jordan Was Outwitted.
The following story is told about
Miss Elizabeth G. Jordan, whose new
book, Tales of Destiny has just
been published by the Harpers. When
Miss Jordan was working on the staff
of one of the chief newspapers in
New York she had an assistant whom
we will call Miss Q. One day Miss
Q ordered modest luncheon brought
to her desk, when Miss Jordan observed
it temptingly displayed during Miss Q's
absence from the room. Miss @ fail
ing to return, Miss Jordan raised
cover of one of the dishes, which prov
ed very attractive to a hungry woman
whose absorption in work had caused
her to forget her own luncheon. The
tasting of one dish led to the eating
of it. Still Miss Q did not arrive.
Miss Jordan seated herself and throw
ing care to the winds, ate the entire
luncheon, carefully replaced the COW
ers, and returned to her desk. Pres
emily Miss Q arrived and sat down
with an air of pleasant satisfaction.
Removing the covers one by one she
discovered her loss, and without re-
mark left the room. 1t was not long
before a waiter appeared at Miss Q's
desk bearing tray loaded down with
all the delicacies of the season, in
Guiding quail on toast To this sump-
tuOus repast Miss @ now sat down.
Meanwhile the waiter had approached
Miss Jordan and presented her bill.
She looked at the amount. 1t was
$3.50.
This was to be charged to you,
MN said the waiter.
Certainly" said Miss Jordan, con-
tinuing her work without the slightest
change of countenance.

What 1 didn't just like was the way
he went-not even waiting until four

then. They say he stepped into the

AS he went out again, they told me,
he met his little girl playing in the
yard with some children. He asked
her to go with him for a walk, but
naturally enough. she said she would

She never was much for her father,
anyway. He was quiet, you know.

to both of them. Her arms were

again.
Her face was very pale. He won

monotonous tone, 81 will tell you
something funnier, even than yourself.

Her voice had risen, but she care
fully modulated it again.
