PICTURED AN ORDINARY GIRL
Woman Writer Explains From What

w WHAT w lANI =NH'Slllo 'SHl was
Type She Drew Heroine.
Kate Jordan, the author of Time,
the Comedian was asked by a seek
er after knowledge why It was that
the modern school of women writer's
all take for their heroines a girl OF
backbone and of steadfast purpose.
THE girl heroine said this critic,
never discovers that she Is beautiful
until she Is 26,"
"My heroine knew just how she
looked, but she didn't care. After she
fell in love she began to care lot.
That is right and natural. You seem
to think women naturally are dishOn-
est. What less could girl do in COM
mon honesty than my heroine did?
Having money that she didn't want
on account of its associations, and
that she was not entitled to, she la
bored to restore il. Hundreds of men
are doing that thing every day, labor
ing honestly to repay their debts, and
yet You seem to think it remarkable
that a woman does It,"

Caller Accepted Commonplace State
ment Too Literally.
In many rural districts there is usu.
ally one accommodating man, who is
called upon, gratuitously, too, to shave
when necessary. those who depart this
life. The writer remembers this GUS
tom as in vogue at Plymouth, Me, a
small town off the railway in Penob-
scot county, and gentleman by the
name of Blanchard was usually sought
at such times.
One day an old gentleman hae
passed away and Mr. Blanchard was
sent for the messenger, being in a
hurry himself, thought the occasion
demanded more signs of activity on
Mr.. Blanchards part, and expressed
his mind to that effect to which he
received the reply: Well, he can
wait, can't he?"
Very soon, however the shaving Kit
was gathered up and start for the
work was made. When the house was
reached the daughter of the departed
one, thinking the call was made to in
quire her fathers condition, came to
the door and said: We'll, father has
gone"
Gone! Where in hi has he
gone? came over to shave him." re-
piled Mr.. Boston Herald.

STRICT RULES FOR DIPLOMATS
Venetian Ambassadors Hold Sternly
to Their Duties.

Venice was the leader in medieval
diplomacy and its ambassadors were
compelled TO keep close watch over all
Venetian interests in foreign places.
According to a law OF 1868 ambassa.
doris were not allowed to be accompan-
led on their missions by their wives
lest state secrets should leak out.
They must, however, take their own
cooks to avoid being poisoned. No
present could be received without the
consent Of the state After 1888 each
envoy was required by law to file a
written report Of his ministry with the
keeper of the archives Later it was
MADE unlawful for an ambassador to
hold conversation with strangers or
to write letters on political questions
addressed to persons not connected
with the government. So severe were
the regulations that it became a diff
cult matter to obtain the best men for
the foreign service. Fines had to be
imposed upon the appointees who re-
fused to depart for their posts.

to have a severe pain across my

caught me in the kidneys when

Did YOU ever try to trace out the origin
of familiar phrases or words which have
a special meaning?
Some have become superstitions, and
have been handed down through the
whole christian era.
The unlucky "spilling Of the salt is
supposed to have first occurred with an
i'll omen attached when j Judas accidental
by spilled salt at the last supper of our
Savior with his apostles.
Likewise, 13 at table is supposed to
have first received its fateful significance
when Christ and his y disciples last met
and dIned before His betrayal.
Giving the cold shoulder is an old Gus
tom which once prevailed IN France, of
serving a cold shoulder of meat when a
guests welcome had speLt itself.
And apropos of the veyed and veXing
custom Of tipping, over which others be-
: side our mutual friend Mr.. Box, have
waxed eloquent Gn vain, an amusing
explanation is given as to the origin Of
the term.
1t seems that several hundred years
ago English coffee houses had at the
doors of their dining rooms locked
strong box, secured with lock and key,
and into its mouth customers were eX-
pected to drop a small Tor large coin for
the waiter TO Insure Promptness. -
Gradually it became abbreviated to the
initials, and the word tip" became in

It was ninety feet long and twenty
five feet in thickness, and evidently
a whale from the mention of its blow

teeth there grew 10 his palate above
1000 plates of horn, hairy on one
side" The noble Englishman noted
that it had three bellies like vast

such force near Preston that $50 OF
them fell to earth. He picked them
