a gesture. "I think can secure some

John Gordon did not answer, and

suddenly:

Of small Importance compared with his

deepened with every moments absence

Of life work. 1t was only characteris-

details of his life no matter what oc-
Cured. John Gordon was the last man
In the world to withdraw into sullen
or moody isolation on account Of great
private trouble or sorrow.
But he longed for sympathetic coun-

voiced another fact Of his nature, the
fact of his affectionate trust in friend

Helping q Sculptor,

7
When Macmonnies, the American
sculptor, was young man working IN
Paris, FalgsIere, the famous French
sculptor, on one occasion entered his
atelier and found there a beautiful
Diana that had been for months ION
the stocks" and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself.
Falgufere became so absorbed in the
work before him as to forget that it
was not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs of Diana this
way and that, to punch her in the ribs,
turn her queenly head-for she was
then only in clay, Of course, and sus-
ceptible to impressions until at last
be had produced the very pose he de-
sired, "There, my friend; 1 like her
better so,' he cried and skipped out of
the studio.
He had really intended to do Mac
monies favor and had indeed paid
him the greatest compliment of which
he was capable. but the young sculp-
tor was in distress, for on comparing
the remodeled Diana with a photo
graph Of Falguiere's statue of the
same character he found the French
man had unconsciously made prac-
teal replica of the other. . Macmon-
MES did not rest until he had restored
his statue to it's original pose.

A Literary KleptOmaniac.

Among French writer's no one car
ried the profession of the literary brig
and to such an extent as Nine. de Gen.
lis. In 1880 her evil ways brought her
into the courts Of law under very dis
creditable circumstances. Bout, the
publisher of series Of manuals, en-
gagged her for the sum of ZIG to write
Manuel Encyclopedique de Fen
fance." The manuscript, which had
been paid for. was on the point of be-
ing printed when it was discovered to
be an exact copy of book of the same
kind published in 1920 by NJ. Dasscha.
do not find it easy to understand the
audacity Of writer who would perpe-
trate a fraud Of such enormity or the
imbecility which would suppose that
it would not easily be detected.
Another time she contributed to a
Paris newspaper a feuilleton which
turned out to be close reproduction
of romance printed some twenty
years before. Surely the poor woman
suffered from literary kleptomania.-

Reason and Instinct.

A certain north country miner was
particularly proud of a clever little
dog he possessed. At times he was apt
to claim little too much for his pet,
and one morning a neighbor was en-
deavoring to point out the difference
between instinct and reason when an
amusing interruption occurred.
A seedy looking tramp turned the
corner, and the dog, without so much
as word from his MASTER sprang into
the road and offered battle.
'There you are" laughed the miner
as the dog snapped and snarled round
the heels of the tramp; '''e don't like
the look Of the chap. That's instinct
Suddenly the tramp turned and kick
ed the dog into an adjacent field.
'There you are" calculated the min
er's friend grimly. "The chap don't
like the look Of the dog. An that's
reason."-London Tit-Bits.

price asked was too small. 1t was like
this: had jumping toothache, was
nearly wild with it, when I went to
the shanty where was told there was
dentist. A rough looking fellow told
me that he was it, and I asked him to
draw my tooth. He looked me over,
got his forceps fastened on my tooth
and yanked it out after a couple of
hard twists.

The Inventor of the Cork.

Don Perignon, a poor blind monk,
first thought Of cork for bottle stop
pers. He was employed in a royal
monastery as overseer Of the extensive
vineyards, being himself a manufac-
turer. Indeed, it is said he discovered
by experimenting with wines and
grape juices that highly effervescing
beverage known as champagne Ne
cessity in his case was doubtless the
mother of his inventing the cork stop
per, for his champagne must have
needed a better stopper than was then
used-merely bunch of fax soaked
in oil. If he was the first to put a cork
into bottle, the world is indebted to
him, since its impermiability elastici-
ty and lightness render it invaluable
for this use.

Practice and PreachinS.

When the late Bishop Hare was pre-
siding over Methodist Episcopal
church in New York city, a large re-
ception was given in his honor, to
which a brother of his, a lawyer, who
closely resembled the bishop, was in
vited.
During the evening a member of the
conference who had never met the
bishops brother approached him and,
shaking him warmly by the hand, said:
"Good evening, Bishop Hare. I
greatly enjoyed the sermon you gave
us today. 1t is just what this church
needs.''
'You are mistaken in the person."

to the bishop on the opposite side of
the room, that is the man who preach

His Quaint Suggestion.

A Frenchman, who appears to have
been of thrifty turn of mind, con-
ceived the idea in 1873 that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found a way of
preparing them without cleaning them.
and on this he took out letters patent.
Apparently he had some slight misgiv-
ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention,
and so in his claim he makes this
parenthetical entry:
! Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer at
first, but he soon gets used to it.
