One Good Guess Deserves Another.

James r. Keene is noted for his
ctvility. He is as polite to a poor man
as to millionaire. On this account
servants always hold him in singuIarly
high regard.
A broker, the other day, compli-
mented Mr.. Keene upon this trait.
With a smile Mr.. Keene said:
Il learned in my youth that it is
best to be polite to every one.
Il was walking in the country one
day in my youth, and on toward sun
down l lost my way. AS pIodded on,
tired and hungry, 1 me ia farm hand.
Jack said, what is the way to
Berenda|
THE farm hand looked at me with
frown.
"'HOw did you know he said, that
my name was Jackr
"'Oh,' said, I guessed it.
"'Then,' said the farm hand, guess
your way to Berenda.'"

FRIENDSHIPS.
Differences Between Those OF Men
and Those of Women.


and Those OF Women.
One difference between men and
women in their relation to friendship
Is that a mans friends like him in
spite Of himself; a woman's friends or
acquaintances care @ her because Of
herself, because of he, powers of agree
ability, her tact or her charm.
A man may be as grouchy as he likes
ON occasion. He may swear at his best
friend and treat him as cavalierly as
he pleaSes, yet that friend will wait in
patience for 1.-The old man to come
round" knowing we'll that beneath the
surface are a kindly heart and a will
ingness to share a last crust with him.
With her friends a woman may take
no such liberty. The kind heart and
the good intentions count for nothing
beside a WomanS bad manners and
lack Of taste in the treatment Of her
nearest and dearest, and condemnation
Is swift and sure. Nothing excuses her,
and she is rarely forgiven. Nor would
she expect to be forgiven. Not possess
ing that large patience undeniably nee
essary to friendship or the power Of
forgiving and waiting for the Crouch"
to blow over, she does not look for for
giveness when she has sinned against
these laws of a woman's making.
Rather she gives up her friend and
contents herself quite placidly with an
other. But then, as we said before, a
woman has no genius for friendship.

OF 5000 samples of food products
OF sixty-one different kinds examined
during the last year at the Connecticut
agricultural experiment station, more
than one-third were found to be
adulterated, according to the ninth re-
port, just issued. Certain articles,
such as flour, sugar, cheese, condensed
milk and tea, says the report, have
not been found adulterated in this
state. Most forms Of food adulteration
are innocuous, apparently, as far as
health is concerned, but are frauds and
consist for the most part of cheap and
worthless makeweights.

LILIES OF HEALTH and BEAUTY.

In a recent interview with Mrs. Lily
Langtry, she very wisely said:
"The fact that believe in the superior
force of mind over matter does not blind
me to the truth that the foundation of every
successful life is good health; that the key
health.
"A sick woman cannot be a beautiful
woman, nor can she be anything but what
we English call poor spirited woman.
"To great extent woman's beauty is
measured by her vitality-by her health.
WORK, Sunshine, Exercise, Water and
Soap, Plain, Nourishing Food, Lots of
Fresh Air, and Happy, Contented Spirit
there, as you say, honest and true is
my. working rule for youth, youthful spirits
and youthful looks"
One great secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys-
tenn and well-being. Every woman, young
or old, should kHOzO herself and her phys-
ical makeup. A good way to arrive at this
knowledge IS to get good doctor book,
such for instance as "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" by R Y. Pierce.

sending twenty one cents in one cent
stamps for paper-bound volume, or thirty
one cents for cloth bound copy, and adj

PREPARING TO DO
UP THE SAINTS
Commercial Club Billiard Players Get
ting into Form.

Five games have been played in pre-
liminary billiard tournament for Com
mercial club members to qualify for the
coming match with the st. Paul Com
mercial club. AS there are five entries
it will be necessary to play eleven more
games unless one of the quintet should
fall so hopelessly behind as to make
further playing unnecessary. 1t is
planned to end the elimination match
this week so that the first games with
the St. Paul team can be played between
Christmas and New Year. This con-
test is expected to develop a great deal
Of interest among the billiard enthusi-
asts of the two clubs. 1t is proposed to
offer as pirze a handsome trophy to
become the. property Of the club whose
representatives carry off the honors and
there will be several individual prizes
for high runs and high averages. 49,
Each club will be represented by
four players and each player will meet
each member Of the opposing team MAX
ing sixteen games in all. The. game
will be the fourteen-inch balk line on
standard tables. Two games will be
played off at each meet making eight
meets in all to be held alternately in
each city. Hence the tournament will
probably continue all the winter.

work has been brilliant, at times par

which is the high score up to date.

fusal of W. F. Dunn, the best cue in
the club to enter the tournament. He
declines for the reason that men con

barred from amateur matches. He
shows his interest in the contest by
presenting two fine cues, to be awarded
