A Rainy Day Hint,

Ever notice how many men hang on

day 2" inquired a Harlemite.
mo? Well, they keep them to dry
their shoes. There are nearly a score
of clerks in our Office. and on fair days
they leave their newspapers in their
trains or boats. but when the streets
are wet they keep them.
Every one except the old fashioned
fellows who wear overshoes puts his
morning paper under his desk and
plants his wet boots on il. Remarkable
thing how the paper, being more alb
sorbent than the leather, extracts the
dampness from pair of shoes. In halt
an hour the wet papers are kicked
aside. and the clerks have avoided the
discomfort of working all day in wet
shoes. New York Times.

His First and Last.

An amusing story is told Of Masse-
nets solitary experience with a gun.
1t was when he was q PriX de Rome
musical student ut the Villa MediciS,
which has given to the world so many
composers. He bought a brand new
gun and a beautiful dog. which ran
between its new masters legs at the
first shot and nearly precipitated a
disaster. Somehow Massenet was al
ways late with things that either flew
or ran; but. noticing a pike basking
near the edge Of pool. he fired at the
fish and killed it, afterward returning
to Rome with it on the end Of his gun

free tickets are not always rewarded

est check to an artistic career is to be-
come a fad with the so called smart

can resist the temptation to seek il.
