PITH AND POINT.

Being worthless pays no dividends.
Keeping Il diary is nearly as hard
work as keeping dairy.
Being fayorably impressed is the
cheapest way we know of being good
fellow.
Nothing makes us quite so mad as
to have people say, What made you
do it,"
1t is terribly hard to impress peo-
pie with the Importance of aiding in a
good cause.
Every one realizes when he goes to
a photographers that he is not look
ing his prettiest.
1t is all right to do things for your
town, but first do things for Your
home and family.
We are all pretty easily pleased
when we consider that three or four
times a day we see exactly how we
look in the looking glass.-Atchison

Antiquity of Cheating.

False weights We're found in the

been exhumed. And false weights will
probably be consumed when the earth
drops into the sun and the heavens are
rolled together like il scroll Ancient
records and ancient statute books are
full of evidence that every modern
practical device down to adulterations
and crooked scales was familiar to our
ancestors of the plateau of Iran before
the migrations. Vice is the old in

Immigrant, received with reluctance
and compelled to fight for every inch Of

BUTTER WEIGHT.
what One Observer Learned From II
Visit to II Grocery.

Live and learn. l heard u respect
able looking, motherly soul. making
purchases for the family, say to the
grocer, BE sure to give me butter
weight, now, for I've been u long time
customer of yours Certainly, Mrs.
MacLaren," he replied cheerily, "you
are entitled to it if any one is" Yet
she bought no butter.
What is butter weight?'' l inquired
when she had gone. "W-hy, that's just
a little sop we hand out to some of
our old customers" said the salesman.
Instead of making an exact pound Of
anything they buy we make it frac
ton over, which tickles them nearly
to death. OF course we are particular
to let them see they are getting more
than their moneys worth; hence we
keep their trade
l next asked how the store made up
easy" was the reply, 'fbut as 1t is Il
trick of the trade l don't think we
ought to tell everybody" Perhaps
other customers receive short weight?''
IF they do, we don't let 'em know it,
Maybe your prices are just a frac-
ton over the market?" Never! We
sell cheaper than anybody" Maybe
your goods are Inferior" AT that he
Quailed.
Referring to dictionary, l learned
that butter weight is an allusion to a
custom of eXacting seventeen or eight
cen ounces or even more to the pound
of butter, possibly on the ground that
the water in it would soon evaporate
and bring the pound down to sixteen
ounces. In Scotland tron weight ttwen-
ty-one to twenty-eight ounces to the
pound) was used in buying butter

When Wagner Fled,

Richard Wagner. the composer, was
an ardent republican in 1S49. In the
archives Of Dresden there Is docu-
ment setting forth case of high trea-
son against the musician. He was ac-
cused of having written to friend a
letter proposing to turn Saxony into Il
republic. But whom shall we make
presidents" he asked. 81 see nobody
competent for the Office except our
present sovereign, Frederick Augustus
H. Frederick Augustus does not
seem to have appreciated the humor of
the suggestion that he should doff the
crown and content himself with the
dignity of republican president. For
this flash Of unconscious fun Wagner
had to bolt to Switzerland.

.Ihe official program for the Wood
men of the World picnic, which has
been distributed throughout northern
Clorado, is fair sample of TIE ordi-
nary work turned out by the Tribune
job department. Nothing flashy
about it, simply good business
print, the kind done here for busi-
ness people. If you want fancy
printing, say so, and you can have it
right here also. The Woodmen

pages, was ready for delivery two
days after the first line of type was
set. No other shop in northern

At about the same time Il polite ode
Of Po1e's refers 10 "a steel and golden

uries only, ana it was not until about
the end Of the first quarter of the last
century that metallic pens became
more generally in use. IN the Local
Notes and Queries" in the Birming-
ham Weekly Post definite evidence
has been given of steel pens as early as
1906 and more commonly in 1917, but
it was about 1873 and 1894 that the
great revolution came by which pens
were made by cheaper process-the
hand screw press which pierced the
pens from steel rolled into tube fash
ion and the Joint formed the slit, but
these required considerable labor to
shape them into pen form. The use
of the screw press belongs td the pc
riod of John Mitchell. Joseph Gillot
and Josiah Mason, but on ii careful
review of the facts it seems to be
clear that John Mitchell has the best
claim to be considered rs the original
introducer of press made pens.-Buffa-

WASHINGTON,
THE D. A. R. MEETING.

The regular bi.monthly meeting of Judea Chapter, D. A. R., was held at the home of Mrs William Church, on January IT, 1905, Mrs Ford Seeley, vice regent, presiding. The meeting open ed in the usual manner, the singing of two verses of America, followed by the Lords Prayer. The roll was then called, Il mem bers responding. Ow- ing to the omission of the regular meeting in November, there was much business to be transacted. A letter of sympathy for our Regent and Secre- tary at the loss of their home was sent by the Mary Floyd Talmage Chapter, and acknowledged by 'Judea daughters. MT Pickett's letter in response to a letter of condolence sent by Judea Chapter at the time of Mrs Pickett's death, was read. Three committees were appointed to take charge of three entertainments: Mrs William Church, Wersebe, to arrange for play; Miss Tousey, Miss Burhans, Mrs Russell Clarke, to open the Historical room and serve tea on January 2S; Mrs Jos eph West and Mrs Thornton Cogswell to give military euchre at the home of the former. Miss Lillian Tousey was appointed a delegate to the Ma tional Congress, Mrs Wersebe her al. ternate. At this, the first meeting held during the absence of Mrs Orlan- do Brown, our Regent, and Miss Fan ny P. Brown, our secretary, a vote of sympathy for them in the loss of their homestead was taken by the Chapter; the general sentiment of the daugh- ters being also one of regret at the loss in Chapter work entailed by their ab. sence. A letter from Mrs Kinny was read, thanking Judea Chapter for it's participation in the gift of the Con necticut Column. It was the unani. nous wish of the Chapter that Mrs Kinney De returned to the State Re gency. This finished the business fol the day and a0general and interesting discussion followed as to the compara
 tive merits of the training of daugh. ters of the present day and of previous century for efficiency as housewives and home-makers. As the 17th day o1 January is the marriage of George
 Washington and Martha Custis, an in
