The story is told by a former west
ern hotel clerk of the trials Of a
French head waiter with an unframed
Nebraska youth assigned to him for
service in the dining room. The youth
had been reared on ranch, but his
father and the proprietor of the house
were lifelong friends, and, as a favor
to the father, the boniface had prom
ised to give the boy chance. He ap-
peared in abbreviated jeans, and when
presented to the full dressed Partisan
who presided in the dining room the
latter looked him over and, with OBJ
vious misgivings, said, Il think he is a
little difficult" Nevertheless the re-
cruit was put into the garb Of the
guild and his zone of activity defined.
He was also impressed with the neces-
sity of prompt and unquestioning ODE
dience to orders. The dinner hour ar
rived, and the direction was given, go
to your station" Not his to reason
why, but blindly to obey, the yokel
waiter disappeared The hour was /
o'clock, and two and half hours later
he made his temperance and then ex-
planned that he had understood the
order, go to the station" He had
been watching the trains go by and
wondered what useful service he was
rendering. His connection with the
waiter corps was terminated, and he
became an assistant baggage wrestler
in the porter's room.

VANISHING JACkALS.

instinct Enables the Animals to
Make Themselves Invisible.
Marvelously successful in its work
Ing is the natural instinct which tells
the jackal how to efface itself from
sight when danger threatens. You may
accidentally surprise half dozen Of
the gaunt, gray-brown beasts trotting
across the open between patches of
jungle scrub in the east, but at that
very instant they cease to be there.
They are as large as fair sized dogs,
and the dry ground, though rough, is
clear, but you may rub your eyes and
look-there Is not sign of a single
jackal where moment ago you saw a
pack. If you draw close they will be
obliged to rise and scatter for shelter,
but from where you stand the illusion
is complete. The jackals have become
part of the surface of the bare brown
ground.
This miracle is achieved by the pecul-
lar adaptation of their coloring to that
of the surface of the sun baked soil.
Ages of evolution have brought about
this perfect accord between the jack
ais habits to its surroundings. After
the rains in India, when lush green
vegetation springs up everywhere and
food abounds in it, the jackals need
never show themselves out of cover,
but in the hot weather, when the land
is blistered brown, the jackals must
often wander far into the open to be
early at the feast upon the starveling
goat that has died on the dusty track to
the village.
There the matter might end, save
that sometimes, from the fiendish clam
or which the jackals make at night
when the heat renders sleep almost i'm
possible, you are tempted to teach them
to give your tent or bungalow a wider
berth on their way to and from their
feeding grounds.
This may have been the feeling of q

ed brown scrub. Sometimes he saw
one fit like shadow from cover to

glasses or half raised his rifle there
was not a sign of life or movement
any where.
So dusk fell, and another sleepless
night followed-not solely caused by
the jackals, for the earelessness of the

On the following afternoon, when his
solitary days work was done, he SAT
again at his tent door opposite the
brown slope, with its new disfiguring
splash Of black marking the scene of
the confagration. Presently, almost as
conspicuous as black beetle on white

TAKING ANOTHER NAME.
Nothing In the Law That Prohibits
Making a Change

Nothing In the Law That Prohibits
Making a Change.
Custom has made it almost univer-
names Of their parents said an at
tache of the local court the other
morning 1T seems natural that it
should be so. Nevertheless there is
nothing in the laws of this country
prohibiting q mans taking another
name, and no legal penalty is attached
to his doing so. There is always, how
ever, a possibility of its being attended
with Inconvenience and perhaps loss to
himself.
There is a way by which a man
may change his name with the sanction
Of the law, and that is the only safe
way But the law requires him to as
sign some good reason for the change
Men have assigned various reasons for
wishing to change their names. Some
times a man wishes to drop his right
name because it is of foreign origin
and difficult for an American tongue to
pronounce. This may injure him In
his business, as there Is such a thing
as prejudice even In this free and
enlightened commonwealth; or his
name may have in English an absurd
or even vulgar meaning and subject
him to unpleasant jokes; or 1t may as
sociate him with some notorious crimi-
nal or be the counterpart of some name
which history made infamous; or 1t
may be misspelled and consequently
mispronounced on his entry to this
country.
Frequently infants are left orphans
or abandoned by the father after the
death of the mother In that case it is
a frequent occurrence for relatives or
neighbors to take a child and adopt it,
giving it their own name. In that case
the party desiring to adopt must apply
by written petition to the court Of the
place in which he lives asking leave to
adopt the child and change it's name
to that of the petitioner The order
allowing the adoption and the change
of name must be filed with the court
so that the real parentage of the child
may be subsequently established if
necessary.
when an adult applies for leave to
change his name he must give his place
of birth, residence, age and whether
he is married or single and whether
there are any judgments against him
or outstanding commercial paper in the
name which he seeks to abandon. If
in any of these cases the court is salts
fed there are no Objectionable reasons
the order is permitted granting a
change of name. The order must be
filed with the clerk, and thirty days
thereafter the new name may be as
sumed. The granting of the notice
must within ten days thereafter be
published in a newspaper designated
by the court
THUS the law protects the person
who for good and sufficient reasons de-
sires to assume name other than his
own. The order Of the court being re-
corded, all the rights of the individual
which may subsequently accrue to him
under his. original name are preserved,
his identity being under the law fully
established. "-Washington Star.

Some DrOu Answers and Ready Wit
From Hotel Walters

OF stories Of Irish hospitality Mr..
Macready had full supply; also Of
hotel attendants and the peasantry.
On one occasion he asked the girl in
attendance for poached eggs. She
looked a bit nonplused at first, but
after a little hesitation replied, There
are no poached eggs in the place, sir,
but l think l could get you some
poached salmon
In poor little cottage of two rooms
he saw a married couple and seven
children. Hearing a baby cry, he
asked to see it and explained that he
took an interest in babies, having one
at home. The infant was produced
for inspection, and the mother asked
proudly, "Is yours as big as that,
sir?" To which he replied, II think it
is little bigger" Instantly the IN
stincts of the mother were reused,
and, tossing her head, she said: $50
well it might be- That's only half Of
ours; the other half is with God. We
had twins"
At hotel one Of the party asked,
"Have you got any celery, waiter p
mo, sir" was the significant answer
81 relies on me chances" That man
deserved an extra tip. On another oc-
casion the dinner was especially good
and well served At the conclusion
one of the party remarked, You're an
angel, Pat" 81 am, sir" assented Pat,
"but l fly low"-London Telegraph.

1T has given me more pleasure than
anything that ever happened In my
whole life" he said simply.
She gave him one quick glance and
hurried into self justification.
Il have always been timid," she said
in an intense whisper, 'and l was so
mortified when l would get nervous
and fail in my recitations. The minute
you asked me a question every thought
seemed to leave my mind. 1 got more

I determined you should know 1 was
capable of having a thought. That
wild scheme of writing you anony-

I'm so-very-sorry" And the professor
heard the sob In her voice.
He answered earnestly: I'm glad-I
shall be eternally glad-if you tell me l
need never give up those letters. They
have become part Of my life"
The girls eyes grew wide with emo
ton. He gazed at her wonderingly, try
ing to understand how he had failed to
recognize her before. Now she seemed
some one that had been In his life for
ever. He had been lonely, and he re-
membered that she herself was an or
phan, that after the close Of the term
she would take up the burden of teach

'I-you mean that you want me to
keep on writing to your" she asked
shyly

anly companionship Of my letters"
She gasped in establishment
''But l thought you believed me stu
pid. couldn't recite my Greek to you
decently to save my life"
The professor looked into her star
tied eyes and laid his hand on hers.
II don't care If you couldn't tell
Greek from Chinese" he said solemnly,
deriding the hobby of years
But don't you think me a frivolous,
doll baby kind Of girl?" she question
ed timidly.
He leaned over and touched her fair
hair with all the reverence Of a child
who has never before owned a golden
haired doll.
Il think you are the sweetest thing
on Gods EARTH" he said, pressing his
lips to her hand.
