How she Made a Profit.

In Paris q gentleman who is very
fond Of fine paintings bought for $4,000
francs a work entitled The Bride OF
Abydos' and was congratulating him
self on becoming its possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money In this Manner.
How can avoid scene" he asked
himself. "If l say that the painting
cost $4,000 francs, there will be an
awful time, and SO I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 1000"
BY this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
a beautiful work of art for the nonoi-
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south of France, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
his wife met him with beaming coun-
tenance and said: I've done a good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 1900 francs? Well. sold
1t yesterday for 4,500, a clear profit OF
1900 francsr'

Flowers of the Cranberry.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers
Of June is the blossom of that time
honored concomitant of roast turkey,
the cranberry. While. however, every
body knows the berry, few are ac-
quainted with the flower, for the peat
bogs where it blows in the choice fell
lowship of the stately pitcher plant
and the golden club and of many
rare orchid are quite remote from the
beaten paths of travel. The cranberry
plant is a small, slender, somewhat
trailing shrub, with the neatest or
evergreen leaves, from amid which a
few threadlike stalks lift their nodding
flowers When fully expanded the
pink lobes of each con 4lla are curled
back like lily's, and from the heart
of them the compressed stamens pro-
trude in the shape of spear point or
beak. The imaginative may see in
this long beaked little blossom a re-
semblance to tiny cranes head
whence some hard pressed etymologist
has thought to derive the word cram
berry-that is, crane-berry.-'Country

DEMOCRATS
IN CONVENTION
(Cotinued from Page One.)

delegations who were loyal in SYM
pathy and sentiment to Mr.. Shannon.
The announcement of the defeat of the
amendment inspired another fmNas-
stoned plea by Judge Rouse for the
Wilson majority to ''tote fair with the
vanquished but patriotic minority.
He designated the action of those who
demanded Wilson committee as un-
Democratic, disputed their right to at
tempt to usurp the organization of the
convention, and repeated the pledge
made in his address of welcome, on be-
half of the Democrats of the south, to
met the north at the dividing line with
an unparalleled majority for the par
ty's nominee, whoever he may be. The
speech, evoked much applause. 1t was
replied to by Tom Parish, who declared
that the course proposed by his side
had been established by precedent.
An unwarranted and useless fight
was again prevented by Dr. Ford of
Maricopa. who raised a flag of truce
and appealed to his side to capitulate.
Without further ado that course was
pursued, and the following committee
on permanent orgaiZation and order of
business was selected:
George Meek, Cochise; George W.
Glowner, Conocino; W. P. Morrison,
ella; A. M. Elias. Graham; D. J. NJ.

string further time, the report of the

Shifting the ResnonnfhiIitr

An Irishman who traded in small
wares kept a donkey cart, with which
be visited the different villages. Or
one occasion he came to a bridge where
a toll was levied.
He found to his disappointment he
.had not enough money TO pay it.
A bright thought struck him. He un-
harnessed the donkey and put it into
the cart. Then, getting between the
shafts himself, he pulled the cart with
the donkey standing in it on to The
bridge.
In due course be was hailed by the
toll collector.
Hey, man. cried the latter.
"Whaurs your tolI?"
"Begorra,' said the Irishman, just
ask the droiver."

Hard lessons In Good Manners.

School chaff is wholesome in most
cases. but it may cramp what should
not be cramped. AS to the chaff which
a man gives and gets at a university,
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. Lit must do good, and it
has not the opportunity of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive it. The quiet
man who wishes to read or to think
apart need hardly ever come into con
tact with his fellows unless he so
chooses. The staggering or bump
tious man, the opinionated man, the
offensive man-these are certain to bo
chaffed, and the chaff usually goes
home; not at once perhaps, but it usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness is
often very salutary weapon. 1t is
certainly one of the most valuable in
struments of English education. In
deed 1t may seem strange thing to
say, but it is surely true that contin-
ued experience of calculated, formu-
larized and well intentioned rudeness
teaches people to be polite.-London
