WHY HE WORE THE RIBBoN.-Mrs.
Robert ]. Burdette tells story about
the white ribbon which is the sign Of
total abstinence, says the New York
Tribune.
There are some persons" said Mrs.
Burdette, "who don't wear the white
ribbon with sincerity. They wear It,,
perhaps, about as hypocritically as 1t
was worn by an employe Of certain
brewer.
"This employe, after years Of dis
sipation, appeared one day at the
brewery with the white ribbon on his
breast. Nothing was said to him, and
he wore the ribbon for some months.
Then one day the head of the firm,
happening to notice the mans badge,
approached him.
why, Frank he said, 1T is strange
to see you a brewer, wearing the white
ribbon
"Tt does look strange, SIR the man
admitted.
"'Well,' said the brewer, why do
you do it?"
at is like this said the workman.
I wear the ribbon because it makes
men like to tempt me; and when I'm
tempted l succumb, SIR"

THEN IT WAS AUNTIE WHO SPOKE
An Eighth avenue car was bowling
along uptown when a gust Of wind un-
tremendously lifted a straw hat from
the head of one of the male passen-
gers and sent it whirling down side
street, says the New York Press.
"Oh, look, auntie," exclaimed a small
boy on the seat behind, as he nudged
the woman next to him and pointed at
the hatless and bald-pated passenger:
THAT mans lost his hat. Why don't
he stop the car and go after it?"
II don't know, DEAR" replied the
woman, unless it is that the straw
hat season is over, and the gentleman
doesn't mind losing it,"
well, auntie, is your hat on good
and tight?"
Yes, dear, why do you ask"
"'Cause II it blowed off it might take
your wig along with it, and then you'd
look just like the man wouldn't you"
But at this point the little boys
auntie whispered something in his ear
that made him stop suddenly, sit up
straight and stop talking.

A CoMMENr.-"During southern
tour" said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Il
attended church one Sunday morning
in quaint little wooden meeting house
where the pews were Of unpainted pine
boards.
1.-The minister was q good man, a
sincere man, a really eloquent man,
but he had contracted somewhere an
unfortunate habit Of believing. He
beloved like a bull. His voice shook
the rafters. The sound overwhelmed
the sense and it was often impossible
for very noise, to get at the mans
meaning.
HE was especially loud during the
prayer. l never heard such an up
roar as filled the little building while
this southern minister prayed. After
he was through, little girl on my left
gave a sigh of relief and 1 heard her
whisper to her father:
Father, don't you think that if he
lived nearer to God he wouldn't have
to talk so loud?'"

FENCE POSTS BECAME TREES.
Domestic Plants as Wonderful in
Growth as Those of the Tropics.

Domestic Plants as Wonderful in
Growth. as Those of the Tropics.
People talk of the wonderful growth
Of the tropical Jungle" said traveller
last week, but they rarely think Of
the wonderful vitality and swift
growth of our domestic trees In this
country.
There Is the poplar, for instance.
Rip branches from a tree, thrust them
into the ground without any care
whatever, and inside Of three months
every one Of those branches will have
sent out q mass Of roots and be devel-
oping into a tree.
Il have just passed through thick
ct Of poplars in New York State where
trees of about fifteen feet in height
stood so close together that a man
could barely push his way between
them. They were all flourishing,
healthy young trees with thick trunks.
ITO my surprise, learned from my
guide that this whole little grove had
sprung up from branches stuck into
the ground after windstorm had
torn them from other trees along
the road.
"A still more wonderful tree Is the
catalpa, known to most boys on ac-
count Of its long bean, which some Of
them use for smoking after 1t is dry.
The catalpa has such a remarkable
vitality that even a tree which has
been cut down and sawed into lengths
again and again, has been known to
strike root and sprout, and finally grow
up into good trees.
II saw a fence in the Middle West
that consisted of a straight row OF
beautiful catalpas, each Of them near
ly twenty feet high. The row was so
mathematically straight that I Won
dered how the trees had grown so, es-
pecially as the row was nearly half q
mile long. So I rode over to them
and discovered that barb wire was
stretched from tree to tree, evidently
as a division fence. Later I met the
owner Of the land, and he explained
to me how the trees had come to grow
in so perfect line.
"'About ten years ago. he said, I
wanted to raise a barb wire fence
along the line Of my property, to pre-
vent my cattle from straying. g.! went
into the woods, and we chopped down
lot Of small catalpas, about sapling
size. We chopped the roots off, leav-
ing a pointed end at the base, and
sawed the crowns off clean, thus MAX
ing stakes about eight feet long.
These we drove into the ground In the
row that you saw, and attached our
barb wire tn them. Inside Of six
months every stake had begun to
sprout, and since then the fence stakes
have grown into trees.-Washington

At the Newport horse show Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt declared that a
horses teeth did not make AN infalli-
BILE guide to its age, and that they who
depended on the teeth alone were apt
to fall into grievous error in reckon
ing the age of horses.
Don't count too much on the teeth"
said Mr.. Vanderbilt, "or you will go
as far wrong as the rich San Francis
can, who decided late in life to set up
a racing stable.

advice. He knew livery stable keep

I tell how old they are? don't want

"The liveryman said it was by their
teeth that horses ages were told. He
intended to go into the matter little
further, but the millionaire, hustler,
hurried off.
HE hurried off, and the next day a
fine coach horse was submitted to him
by dealer.
, "How much do you want for this
animal?' he asked.
"'About $780, the dealer answered.

RACES AND ODoRs.-Abbe Hue tells in
his account Of his travels in China that
when he had so completely mastered
the Chinese language and so trans
formed his personal appearance that
he passed for a native of the country
he could not deceive the dogs, which
detected him by their sense Of smell
and invariably barked at him as he
passed by. He further states that the
musky odor which may be observed
in articles imported from China per-
vades the whole country and is one
of the distinctive marks Of the Chinese
race. A Japanese doctor Of medicine
returns the compliment on the behalf
Of the oriental by declaring that the
occidental races have an odor that Is
not agreeable to the Asiatics, though in
process Of time they get so accustom-
ed to 1t that they do not notice it.

was alone in the store, waited on him,

prietoI told him. all right and took the
package back. The negro left the
store and Mr.. Frlerson closed his doors
and locked them. but had no more
than started to his residence than he
was pounced upon by the negro, who
began vicious assault upon him. Mr.. |
Frierson defended himself as best he !,
could, but the negro jerked long

plunged it into the merchants right |

in length two and a half inches below
the nipple, along the right side,
under the arm. The cash went to the
bone. The assailant then ran away.

home and the officers were telephoned
