Departing Visitor Meant Well, But

De Jinks always wanted to say the
right thing, but somehow he never
could. He had been spending couple
OF weeks in Wisconsin town. and on
the evening set for his departure met
Miss De Vercy, very pretty young
lady, to whom he had been introduced
when first he arrived in the place.
"And are you going tonight, Mr.. De
Jinks?' she said. "I'm so sorry we
haven't seen more of you during your
stay"
Pray, don't mention it," he re.
turned with an excess of gallantry.
Indeed it has been all my fault, Miss
De Vercy."
A few moments later he saw his
mistake, but could find no chance to
atone for it, until, as he was about
to leave for the depot, one of his
friends suggested:
"You haven't said Goodbye to
Miss De Vercy, have you?
Here was a chance that was not to
be lost Turning to the fair damsel,
with the sweetest and most gracious
smile, he said:

and landed on his chin. His head was
thrown violently against the sharp

stood, cutting an ugly cash. He threw
out his hands awkwardly-the first
blow was followed instantly by one
from the right hand, reaching him on
the side of the body about two inches
above the waist He dropped forward,
falling --eavily to his knees. The
blows had been delivered straight
from the shoulder, with the whole

the chiffon veil, '<get up. I've. given

DINNERS TO BUSINESS MEN.

Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by Employers.
Twenty years ago the president OF
big company, the owner of a big
business or industry, would as soon
have thought of asking his subordi-
nate heads of departments to spend
the summer at his country home as
of giving them a formal dinner once
or twice a year. Now the formal
dinner-giving practice is so common
that it is almost taken for granted
The big corporations of the country
give annual dinners to heads of de-.
partments which cost thousands of
dollars. Even mercantile firms, small
in comparison, are in the habit of
meeting their chief employees around
the dining board.
There are several reasons for this
interesting development. In the first
place, Americans are learning to en-
joy the formal dinner, with it's elab.
crate menu, it's wine and. it's speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more
and more to realize how much of his
success is due to his heads of depart.
ments Oftentimes he gives them an
interest in the concern or corporation,
and Immediately they begin to work
for the concern as well as the com
pany. Anything that will bind them
closer to the employers interests is
not overlooked, and dinner once in
a while is one of these.

that the strange adventure which I
am about to relate took place.
when that memorable struggle be-

abroad. After the campaigns we had
passed through life in the army was

I'VE We're encamped in a lonely
spot in Alsace. Within our lines, near
the camp, was situated a large build

services of the students had been
brought into requisition, either as SOL
diers or surgeons, and the fOrsaken
building had been left to care for it.

Being so near the French camp, it
seemed strange that the chief officers
did not use the deserted college for
their headquarters. But the place had
a gloomy, forbidding look. and pre-
sumo none of them cared to occupy
it,

American officer like myself, that we
should move. into the college for the
night to shelter ourselves from the

"'No, thank you,' he replied; I'd
rather sleep on the wet ground under
q leaky tent than in a building ten
