Absurd and Perllous.

Congressman lands desired to IL
lustrate the absurd and perilous posi-

honesty had been exposed.
"There, before the crash came" he
said, "the man stood tottering and
swaying, pale and scared; and, though
I pitied him, had to laugh at him be-
cause his position was so ludicrous.
HE reminded me of the Indianap-
oils barber who got drunk one busy
Saturday afternoon.
This barber, heavy with eighteen
large, cold glasses of beer, lurched
into his shop at the end of the ball
game, put on his white coat, seized a
razor, and began to shave a patron
whom the apprentice had just lathered
up.
"As the barber shaved away he held
onto the patrons nose.
"'Hang it, the patron said. What
are you about, anyway? Let go of my

bit of 1t. II did I'd fall down."

Pad for Fountain Pen.

A business woman who finds 1t nee
essary to carry fountain pen wraps
it in a piece of chamois and thereby
saves her handkerchiefs and other
feminine effects from many an ink
stain. However, the chamois soon be-
comes saturated with ink, stiff and un-
pleasant and must be renewed often.
A better case can be made of inch
wide ribbon lined with stockinette
rubber cloth and packed with bit of
absorbent cotton at the leaky end of
the pen. This will keep the pen al
ways dry to the fingers, as the cot
ton can be changed without trouble
and the case itself need never be
soiled.
II you have male friend who is ad-
dicted to the fountain pen habit, you
can endear yourself to him by present
ing him with such a case, and thus
saving his short ribs from many an
inky bath whenever he happens to put
the pen upside down In his waistcoat
pocket.

DEFEAT is UNFORGIVEN
Unfortunate Leaders in War Never Given Chance

Madrid. At one time he was one of
the most mighty Of the French mar
shals, and his tunic blazed with gold
lace and jeweled orders.
He had risen from the ranks, but
misfortune came to him when he start
out to meet the Germans as leader of
half a million men. Accompanying
him to the front were innumerable
Wallets, grooms and secretaries, yet he
came back to Paris, not as a mighty
conqueror, but as a broken, friend
less man.
He had, in the eyes of the republic,
disgraced himself, and popular preju-
dice drove him from his native coun.
try. He went to Madrid, and fell
lower and lower down the social
scale until he became practically a
beggar, both in language and habits.
Not touch of his former greatness
was shown by the ex-marshal as he
waddled in a purposeless way about
Madrid.
A French journalist met the broken
man once, and in reply to question
he said sadly, when l was French
marshal l was the republics slave,
now l am free man; but the price of
freedom is vermin and a crust of
bread!"
A general who became a barber was
the leader of the Persians whom Sir
James Outram crushed just before the
Indian mutiny broke out. The shah
degraded him, and after several more
or less exciting adventures he came
down to be a barber at Bagdad.

and as he welded his razor he related
his many exploits.
Admiral Villeneuve, who was beaten
by Nelson at Trafalgar, was never for
given by Napoleon, and he became a
homeless wanderer, living at cheap
and even disreputable hotels.
His income after his disgrace was
said to be under $500 year, and when
he died he was heavily in debt.

the contrary, and there are several
instances of Russians, once shining
lights in barrack rooms and naval
dockyards, who have taken leave of
life, both obscurely and tragically.
1t was not long ago that famous
general, at one time honored all over
Russia, died by his own hand at a
German gambling spa. He had erred
during the Russo-Turkish war of 1877
7S, and in consequence the troops
Under his command had met with an
unexpected disaster.
After the war the general left st.
Petersburg in disgrace, and, under an
assumed name, took up his residence
n Germany. He dissipated his for
tune at gambling places, and when he
1ad come to his last penny he became
a "handyman," eking out bare ex-

jobs, and distributing bills.
Being unable to recover his self
respect and manhood he sought re-
lease by suicide He shot himself at
gambling spa, and when his body was
searched not single coin was found
upon him.
Again, leader of the Russians dur

poverty in an attic in the Latin quar-

at Inkerman, and his commission was
taken from him.
He went to France and led a DO.

a good income by composing musical

The lieutenant bowed to his comrades,

Waste of Nerve Energy.

So many people needlessly and
recklessly waste their nerve energy.
They drum the chair or the desk with
their fingers or tap the floor with their
toes. They hold their hands. They
sit in rocking chair and rock for
very dear life. If they write or sew
they get down to it with vengeance
and contract their brows and wrinkle
their foreheads and grind their teeth.
If they have an unusual task to do
they contract and comfort every mus

work perhaps required but one set Of
muscles or perhaps the mind only, as
the case may be.
