Mortimer Menpes. the artist, in his

we visited 4 dealer who owed him
money, and Whistler would receive d
check. Once the check was not handed
to him in what he thought 4 sufficient

dealer: This is careless Of YOU. You
push this check toward me and You
do not realize what Il privilege it is to
be able to hand it to the master. You
should offer it on Il rich old English

dealer borrowed Il gorgcously embossed

why They are Dotted and How the

The dot oyer the "i' originated In an
accent which was put over the letter
when doubled or placed next a gu" a
practice traced back to the eleventh
century. In the twelfth century the
accent occurs in the combination Of
81" with other letters, and in the four
teenth century the accent was changed
to a d0t-first instance in MSS. 1927
which became universal when printing
made it ~inconvenient to retain both
forms.
Originally "T' and j" were modified
forms Of the same letter. In the If
teenth century the 81" at the beginning
Of q word was heightened and orna-
mentally turned to the left, while in
the middle Of a word 1t was unaltered.
Both forms were dotted, and after the
initial 81" became "j," a separate let
ter and a consonant, it still retained
its dot. This is limited usually to the
small a." but abroad it may be seen
also over the capital letter.-Londor

king AHfonso'A Bet,

When the king of Spain was at Heres
he greatly admired a horse belonging
to Senior Rjvero, one Of the notables Of
the town, who at once presented him
with the animal. The king refused the
gift, but the other day at the pigeon
shooting at the Casa de Campo, near
Madrid, a match was arranged be-
tween the king and Senior Rivero. The
stakes were, on the kings side, a gold
piece of 100 p~esetas, and on Senior Ri
vero's a souvenir Of Heres.
Like a skillful courtier Senior Rivero
lost and sem the king the horse which
he had so much admired as a souvenir
Of Here's. The king could not refuse
to accept, but he at once sent the senior
one Of the best horses in the royal
stable in exchange.-London Sketch.

Those who Court 1t.
"When acquaintanceship ripens MO
friendship, something serious has come
into ones life" writes Mrs. Henry
Graham in the Onlooker. Il don't Inn
that any one can or ought to afford TO
have more than one or two really init
mate friends. If love has gone with
friendship-that is, If the gates OF
paradise have been opened to you, anu
the guardian angel has sEeathed his
flaming sword and admitted you
through the p~ortals-then you must
have given everything. and you nave
very little left to give. a man can
have a man friend and g woman q
III because there are places where
men meet men and women meet Wo-
men alone, neutral ground where the
other sex cannot enter because of Its
limitations. and there real friendship
may live and thrive on the crumbs
which fall from the rich mans table.
For friendship implies something Sc
rious. You must give Of yourself, your
real self. and once given it cannot be
taken back. One has n right to give
up a friendship unless the other per
son agrees or unless it has become at
absolute impossibility, and even Their
all the obligations of it may survive
while the delights of it die"

A nightmare was supposed by our
ancestors to be the Saxon demon Mara,
or Mare, q vampire which sat upon the
s~leeper's chest and was regarded as
the guardian Of hid treasure, over
which it brooded, as a hen over her
eggs, and the place where it sat was
termed the indus, or nest. When any
