SHE TAUGHT HIM TAcT.-The late
Louis Fleischmann, the millionaire
baker, not only distributed food to the
poor men in the bread line" he had
established in New York, but he also
got these men employment. He went
among them and conversed with them
and the delicacy of his questions to
them, and the care he took not to
hurt their feelings was remarkable.
One day a reporter complimented
Mr.. Fleischmann on this tact OF MS.
The philanthropist said:
"The more unfortunate and wretch
ed people are, the more sensitive they
are; the more easily they are wound
ed. The public does not bear this fact
enough in mind.
And vet it is a fact that is continu-
ally being proved-sometimes pathet-
cally, sometimes humorously. 1t was
proved humorously to friend OF mine
last summer in Scotland.
He was making a walking tour. He
was climbing mountains and viewing
lakes and torrents. One morning on
a quiet road he met a young woman
tall and comely, who walked bare
footed.
Surprised, my friend stopped the
young woman and said:
"Do all the people hereabouts go
barefooted%
"She answered:
"'Some Of them do, and the rest
mind their business.

WHY THE PREACHER OBJEcTED.-A
story Of an eccentric Wesleyan minis
ter is too good for the "erasure of OBJ
livion.' One Sunday he caused some
surprise by declaring that he did not
in the least object to people sleeping
while he was preaching.
A few minutes later he and his hear
ers were disturbed by the loud snor-
ing Of a man just below the pulpit.
"Give him a tap on the head" said
the minister. This was done, ineffect-
ually. Give him another" came the
order again. Still the man slumber-
ed. But at length, by dint Of much
tapping and shaking, he was recalled
into abashed consciousness. You are
making a wretched noise" roared the
minister, leaning over the pulpit edge.
81 don't mind you sleeping. but you
are preventing other people from
sleeping!"-London Telegraph.

ON WINNING A WOMAN.
Herbert keIeey Enumerates Thirteen
Ways of Courting.


The New York Journal recently pub
lished a symposium of opinions as to
"The Way to Win a Woman" Her
bert Kelcey, who, with Eff1e Shannon,
has lust scored an enormous success
in Taps" at the Lyric theater, sug-
gested the following thirteen methods:
/. Be considerate Of her in small
things. Small things make up a wo-
mans life.
2. Remember always that every
where in the animal kingdom kind and
not sex makes difference in brain.
3. Need her and let her know 1t.
Women understand best that 1t Is
more blessed to give than to receive.
4. Let her feel before, and partic-
ularly after marriage, that she is more
important than your business. You
wouldn't care to be supplanted in her
thoughts by constant musing over that
$317 that slipped through her hands
yesterday.
S. Before marriage kiss her as
though she were your wife-afterward
kiss her as though she were your
sweetheart.
6. Never abuse her confidence. Her
faith in you is capital, which you will
have to invest many times.
T. Compel her respect. Respect Is
the mother, and admiration the father
Of love.
g. Take an interest in her affairs.
You would be hurt IL she took no in
terest in yours.
9. Devote at least a quarter Of the
thought to entertaining her during a
lifetime that you would devote to en-
tertaining her pretty sister half an
hour.
10. Don't nag" Men nag as much
as women, and vaccination, the slow
scrapping away of the skin, pains
more than the quick incision OF the
surgeons knife.
IL. Remember that she Is the better
half of yourself, and ito thine own
self be true"
IL. Be generous, not lavish. When
she is your wife, she is your partner.
Never compel her to ask for money.
A woman feels dependence as much
as a man would.
13. have devoted as much atten-
ton to the subject of winning the
woman you have won as to winning
the woman you haven't. 1t Is more
important to keep the love Of your wife
than to create love in the object or
your attentions Eternal vigilance Is
the price Of eternal affection. Never
say to yourself. i've caught the
car" You may fall off.

THE VICTORIOUS FLEA.-One Of the
justices of the United States supreme
court dined with Washington family
who are ardent advocates Of a vege-
tartan diet. In the course Of dinner
which consisted, says the New York
Evening Post, of all the delicacies OF
edible plant life in season, the hostess
undertook the conversion Of her beef

But despite her arguments, which
were cleverly based on the chemical
constituents of various kinds Of food
the jurist was not convinced.
But surely, Mr.. Justice" she said
finally, you must admit that vegeta-
rianism means strength and ability
when you remember that the rabbit
which feeds wholly on vegetables, can
make such great leaps over the ground
from hiding place to hiding place"
True, madam" answered the dis
tinguished man gravely, "but we must
also remember that the minute Great
ure for which naturalists claim the
ability to jump more times its own
length than any other belongs in the
class of pure carnivora."

A Personal FAVOR OF THE COURT
One Of the most picturesque figures OF
the New York bar was the late Thom-
as Nolan, lawyer, whose witty re-
torts furnished subjects for merriment
at many a lawyers gathering. Now
Nolan was at one time counsel for
Door widow who was suing con-
struction company for the death OF
her husband. The case had been
placed upon the day calendar, but had
been frequently postponed, and Mrs.
Moriarity by the time she had made
her fifth call was in an exceedingly
disturbed frame Of mind, consequent
ly the tones Of Nolan's rich brogue
were more than usually fervid as ne
fought against the sixth adjournment.
81 am sorry" said Justice Dugro'
but your opponent has shown me
good cause for the adjournment, Mr.
Nolan, and the case will, therefore
go over until tomorrow"
VERY we'll, sor," said the barrister,
sweetly, but might ask wan person
al favor Of this coort?"
Certainly, sir, with pleasure"
"win your honor kindly step down
to my office and just tell Mrs. Mortar
ity that you have adjourned the
case?"-Success.

HE HAD SUFFERED No HARM.-Dr.
Edward Everett Hale tells story of
a New York clergyman who had re-
ceived a call to a fashionable suburb
of Boston. A gentleman who had in
his employ two English grooms acci-

versation between the two servants:
1t appears that the first groom, who
had for some time been endeavoring
to get the second groom to attend
service at the church presided over by
the New York clergyman, said:

Remarkable Story From India Of Lit
tie Animals Fight with Cobra.
One sultry afternoon a gentleman
who was staying in India was lying
in a hammock swung on the veranda
Of his bungalow. He was willing
away the time eating fruit and bis
cults, when all at once he saw little
sharpnosed, bright-eyed creature all
covered with smooth fur and looking
something like a bandicoot rat and
something like a squirrel, come creep
ing slyly along the floor. He threw II
a bit of banana, which at first startled
it, and it acted as though it was going
to run, but pretty soon it seemed to
think better of it, and turned back and
snapped up the morsel. The gentle
men grew interested and gave 1t some
biscuit crumbs, which 1t ate, by de-
grees becoming more familiar and In
clined to make friends. Just then
some one approached and the creature
ran away.
Then the gentleman was taken very
i'll with a fever, and one day when ne
was just beginning to recover he sent
his servant away and composed him.
self to take a nap. Just as he was
about to doze off into dreamland ne
saw a horrible sight. Describing It
he says:
Creeping into the room from the
veranda, coil after coil, was a huge
hooded cobra, the deadliest snake In
all India, more than seven feet long
and as thick as a mans arm. For q
moment 1 was fairly dumb with hor-
ror, and then, although knew 1t was
no use, I instinctively called for help;
but my voice. was so weak that II
couldn't even have been heard In the
next room.
ION came the snake, rearing up Its
horrid spotted hood angrily. and blow
ing out its head, as it does when II
means mischief. 1t had already got tc
the foot Of the bed, and was just pre-
pairing to crawl up when heard
skirr of tiny feet across the floor, and
saw my squirrel-rat friend, little
Tommy. The brave little fellow never
hesitated for a moment, but went
right at the cobra like a tiger, ano
gave it bite that drew blood like the
cut of knife"
The upshot Of the matter was, Tom
my and the snake fought duel, ant
upon its victory depended the life Of
the sick man. Again and again the
rat-squirrel attacked the reptile, bit.
ing and biting, and always escaping
the enemy's blow, until at last the rat
squirrel actually bit off the snakes
head. But just as this happened, tht
snake in its fioppings knocked some
glass off a table and the attendants ir
the house, hearing the crash, came
rushing in.
AS it turned out, the little rat-squir'
rel was a mongoose. These creature:
are the greatest serpent killers in the
world. Thus this gentleman, by max
ing a pet of the little mongoose, hac
found a friend that actually saved
his life.-Pearson's Weekly.

All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-

the germs, wherever they are. And
when the germs which cause a disease
are destroyed, the disease must end
