When Brander Matthews went to his
club one evening, according to the
Bookman, he went to the letter box
and looked through the compartment
marked IN" and found therein a very
peremptory dun from d tailor. Mr..
Matthews was puzzled, rs he had had
no dealings with the insistent tailor,
until he again looked at the envelope
and found that he had unwittingly
opened letter belonging to another
member of the club; so he put the bill
back in the envelope and returned it to
the compartment. AS Mr.. Matthews
was turning to go he noticed the mem
Der for whom the bill was intended
coming toward the letter box. A min
ute later he came into the reading
room, where Mr.. Matthews was sitting
with several others. Taking from it's
envelope the bill, he read it attentively
for a few minutes, sighed, tore it into
bits, then, with wink and the leer of
an invincible conqueror, commented,
"Poor, silly little girl"

Leaves and CoIors.

Bright colors assumed by naples
sumacs and ampelopsis during the au.
tumn months are the result of the oxi'
dizing of the color compounds, or color
generators, Of the leaf cells. Long pro
tracted cool weather is most favorable
to the production of autumn tints, and
slight frosts that are not severe enough
to kill the cells hasten the display OF
beauty by producing an engine that
brings forth the bright puppies, oranges
and reds. Leaves containing much
fannie acid never give bright autumn
tints, while those containing sugar give
the very prettiest.

The Dangers of Fox Hunting.

Crowds "go hunting" but few ride
to hounds, so statistics are absolutely
useless. OF the thrusters, the ones who
come to grief least, are the sportsmen
who keep their eye on the leading
hound and try to land on his tail every
time. The golden rule is: Throw your
heart over first, and then you and your
horse and the leading dog and the fox
are certain to be in the same field. II
