fifty years ago, to have postmasters

A Fine Collection.

At time when the art of enameling
Is being taken up by many talented
women artists, it is interesting to
know that the Queen of England has
a collection which bids fair to rival
that of the czarina, which is said to
be exceptionally fine. 1t is Queen
Alexandra who has had much to do
with arousing the popular fancy for
fine enameled jewelry, for not only
does she wear a great deal of it her
self, but she also gives many speci-
mems as gifts to her friends.
Her majesty's niece, the Princess
Louise Augusta of Schleswig-H olstein,
is an accomplished worker in the art
of enamels, and designs all her own
handiwork.

Decatur denied absolutely all the
statements of McCrary and Church
which incriminated him. The court is
thus left to decide between the testi-
mony under oath of the upper and
lpwer class men.
Other witnesses were introduced to
bear out the defenses theory that the
prosecuting witnesses were mistaken
as to whom hazed them.

tention and a desperate effort is being
made to save him. He is "a great
grandson Of the famous naval hero

promptly and carefully every hole is
filed up and every break mended, and
you will understand how small beast

fine system of roads is like man with

Conceit.

Conceit is essential to rapid advance.
ment-not overconceit, but conceit in
reasonable volume. The conceit Of
youth becomes the assurance of OLD
age. If you're master of your conceit,
you have back of you a slave Of unlim-
tied assistance. If conceit is your mas
ter, you're doomed to failure. But
don't cultivate self conceit. It's lusty
plant. Give it half a chance and 1t
will outgrow your self respect.-N. G..
Fowler, Jr, in "Gumption."
