Shaw's Little joke About Old Age.

The other day Secretary Shaw and Repre-
sentative Martin of South Dakota were
talking in the formers ONCE. At last Mr..
Martin rose to go and reached for his over
coat.
"Let me help you" said Secretary Shaw
and he held the coat while the representa-
tive slipped himself into 1t.
II am glad TO see that you are still
young" commented Secretary Shaw, with
a twinkle in his shrewd eye 1.-THE surest
sign Of approaching age in man Is his
refusal to receive assistance in putting on
his coat It's only the old men who reject
this kind OF aid"

Practical Advice to Boys

superintendent w NJ. Davidson of the
Omaha public schools addressed the boys
meeting at the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION building Sunday afternoon on the
subject of Opportunity"
A short musical program Was given be-

orchestra that was very enjoyable to the
boys. Following the orchestral rendition
Walter Hoffman of the Omaha High school
sang bass solo, Rock Of Ages
The lecture room was filed with boys APP
proximately of the ages of 10 to Is years
and they were attentive listeners through
out the proceedings.
superintendent Davidson said in part:
You do not get more out of an address
than You bring to it, 1t Is merely an eX-
change of experiences. Nothing is so
little thought of as advice. II Is so with
going to school; you get but little more

to do. but to be able to do something In

is to be something. Many go to school
to learn nothing; so when they go out into

Make up your mind to get an education

Many mothers do not realize the con-
cenience and usefulness OF a bath robe

does. The garment is very easily made

best choice of fabrics Trimming may take

Webster's Bill That Grew.

Daniel Webster was never noted
for attention to detail in business
matters. His well known failings
were often taken advantage of BY
INSCRIPTIONS creditors, who gave no
receipt for paid bills, simply because
they were not demanded. Webster
was well aware of this, but it seemed
to trouble him very little.
On one occasion a creditor pre-
scented a bill which seemed familiar,
and Webster asked, isn't this bill
pretty larger"
Il think not" replied the maker
of it confidently.
"Well," said Webster, handing
over the money, ssevery time have
paid that bill it has seemed to me a
trife larger"

Finger Nails Like Bird Claws.

To what extremes physical de-
formation, for the sake of comply
ing with certain fashions or as the
fulfllnent Of ascetic vows, can be
carried is explained by DR.. !. Ranke
of Germany in his anatomical trea-
tise entitled ssDer Mensch." He
demonstrates that in all lands GER
tain forms Of malpractice have been
INDUCED in. In old Peru, for in
stance, little children were placed
under a head press and their scalps
were shaped oblong. This was espe-
Ncially the case with the daughters Of
the mobiles and with the members Of
the royal families. The climax is
reached, however, in the case Of the
Chinese ascetic who is set apart as
holy man to serve in the joss
house, who does not perform any
manual labor and permits his finger
nails, with the exception Of those on
his index finger, to grow several
inches long. Finally they become
entangled and resemble somewhat
the claws Of an old bird.

It is quite common in FIJI and

arm or body certificate Of his births,
which is practically indelible. Tat
tooing is carried on in these islands
to an absurd extent, and it is the
practice to tattoo on the hand Of o
mother the date of her children's
births. Sometimes an enthusiastic
father will tattoo the date Of the~
birth on the child itself, and no mat
ter how long it lives the certificate
will remain easily decipherable. In
some adjoining islands every child
is tattooed almost from head to foot
on its completing its twelfth year.

Life In Gheel, Where Beloium's Ia.

Gheel is the name of little town
near Antwerp, where the demented
are cared for by the Belgian govern
ment. It is literally town of fools,
a town where fools dwell in peace
with each other, stroll about the
streets and take their MONDAY re-
freshments at the cafes. The town
ship shelters about 1,500 lunatics,
who are taken as dodgers by the
townsfolk, though all the dangerous
cases are passed on to outlying vii
lagos or confined in the asylum,
Gheel harboring only the harmless.
The treatment of the patients is but
a moral one, cures being due to the
kindness and tact Of the townsfolk.
The fees for taking in the "inno-
cents" as they are called, vary from
$50 to $500 year, according to the
degree Of luxury in which the pa
tient is kept. No matter how much
he pays, however, he is the spoiled
one of the family, for the people of
Gheel are said to understand the
management of insane people better
than any other known community
or institution. This is due to hun
dreds of years of experience handed

GREELEY IN A RAGE.
The Old Editors Election Figures and

The Old Editors Election Figures and
. Placid Proofrsader.
Horace Greeley was q crank on
election figures and knew exactly
how every county and town in the
state was in the habit of going. A
slight change in favor Of his own
party would fill him with satisfac-
ton. One day he came into the Of
fee overjoyed that the Republicans
had carried Westchester county in q
local election. As usual, he wrote an
editorial and put comparative Ia
BILE compiled from the Tribune al
manac in the middle of the article.
When the paper came out next day
the figures were misplaced, the Re
publican vote appeared in the Demo
cratic column, and vice versa, SO
that the comments did not at all fiji
the case stated. Mr.. Greeley came
down in a towering rage and in
whirlwind Of profanity demanded Of
the subordinate in charge whether
there was a proofreader on the pa
per and whether anybody inthe Of
flee had a grain of sense.
"Why, yes, Mr.. Greeley. You
know old man So-and-so is the
proofreader and has been for years,
But what is the matter ?"
Matter! Blankety, blank, blank
Matter! Why, some blankety, blank,

the old man as he shuff1ed upstairs
'1'll kick him out of the composing
room. l won't be made a fool Of in
this way"
Upstairs there was a, scene very
like that below, with the variation
that Greeley told the proofreader
that he ought to be kicked from one
end Of the composing room to the
other. With the proverbial placidity
of proofreaders and their provoking
readiness for such emergencies the
man assailed quietly went to the
hook, and, taking therefrom Gree
ley's own copy, held it under his
eyes, with the single remark, seRead
that, sir"
Greeley did read it. There was ST.
lence for a moment, and then his
face assumed look of mingled con-
tempt and disgust. Then he turned
around, with his back to the proof
reader, lifted his coat tails and said
loud enough to be heard all over the
room:
