TortY-two Revolutions.


Thirty years ago, when visiting San
Domingo in an official capacity, he was
taken in hand by a newly appointed
Minister, who undertook to show him
around. Coming to the courtway of
a prominent building the guide point
ed to Il doorway and remarked, as
complaccntly as If he were indicating
the name of a street: THAT is where
our last Emperor was shot"
In the course Of his so1ourn he came
upon an aged man, held in high esteem
by the community because he had
been witness of quite exceptional
number of revolutions and lived to
tell the tale.
GLOW many have you seen" the
visitor asked.
"Forty-two," the patriarch modestly
replied.

1t used TO be the hall mark of the
well dressed woman that every portion
of her attire matched in color, so that
dress, hat, gloves presented perfect
harmony. 1t is no longer the rule. A
revolution has been silently effected
this spring, and there was evidence Of
it at the first race meeting at Long
champs. Variety is now the sign of
ultra smartness. The idea is to get
as many contrasts in tone as possible,
to make ones self a walking concert
of discord. For instance, 1t is the last
cry of elegance to wear a green hat
trimmed with velvet of violent hue
and large roses of tawny color. This
last tone, too, may predominant In
the hat and contrast with gowns of

A political lieutenant once announced

Senator Quay gave the man one of
his peculiar direct glances and smiled
slightly. Then he said:
You have broken this news gently.
You remind me of an lrlshman. This
lrlshman had great faith in his diplo-
macy, and one day, when boy was
killed at a quarry he told the men to
leave everything in his hands, and he
would break the news to the boys
mother as it should be done.
$50 he went home, put on a black
suit and a black tie, and he knocked
at the door Of the boys mothers house

Frnnlxlin's Idea of Nero.

whose fathers would like to tell All
about them II they dared, but who
fear the wrath Of their fellows ana
hold their peace. Franklin goes daily
to n Camden IN. j. school with his
older sister, who is in the eighth grade
and knows a lot about ancient history
and things which make wonderful
stories for the lad to hear. She was
telling him the other day all about
wicked Nero, who fiddled while Rome
burned, and the boy was duly im'
pressed. At dinner that night, in order
TO discover whether the knowledge
Unmarried had taken root, the sister
asked the boy: (
"Who did l tell you about to-dayT'
Nero" readily replied the young
learner.
WHO was he?" was the next ques
ton.
There was a bit of hesitation, but
finally the answer came out with
twinkle:
"Oh, he was Bird -
swell, what did he do?"
"Ate worms" was the unexpected
reply. which gave the tableful of din
ers something OF a shiver.-Philadel'
