Greeley Knew the Word.

Dan Lawton was the only printer
who could read Horace Greeley's
handwriting well enough to put it
in type. He used to boast he could
read the great, wondrous scrawl a
mile away. One night the boys in
the composing room put up job
on him. They took two roosters and
made them walk around on u new
ly linked form and then run over ten
sheets of copy paper. The foreman
wrote over it in Greeley's well known
scrawl, "The Plain Duty of Con-
gress," and put it on old man Law
tons hook. The old printer picked
it up, swore little, remarked that
they had to shove the stuff off on
the "old man." as usual, adjusted
his spectacles and began sticking
type. The other printers watched
him for a few minutes, but beyond
an oath or two he gave no sign.
Lawton went on setting type until
about half way through the copy"
Then he was stuck. He took the
copy over TO the foreman and asked,
"John, what word is that?
81 don't know" replied the fore
man. "lou know | never could
read the stuff"
Lawton took the sheet down to
Greeley and pointed out to him
particularly awful scrawl of the
ROSTERS feet and asked what word
that was.
Greeley looked at it for moment
and replied, with frown, Simeon

The Dentist and the Alligator.

Roy Farrell Greene, the president
of the American Society of Curio
Collectors, told at a dinner of dem
lists an appropriate story.
"a dentist" he said, "was once
travelling in the east, and in the
Ganges his boat overturned and he
was obliged to strike out for the
shore.
Gas the dentist swan sturdily
through the muddy water an enor-
nous alligator suddenly rose up be-
fore him. The alligator opened its
enormous jaws, and the next instant
would have been the dentists last,
only-just in time-the man hap
pened to notice the great reptiles
sharp, white teeth, and an idea
struck him.
"He drew probe from his pock-
ct, and, pressing it into the alliga-
tors gums, he said:
"Does this hurt you"
"The alligator screamed with
pain. and the dentist, amid its great
agony, made good his escape" -

Judge Holmes of the superior

A Feat of Strength.

Most boys will be interested in
the assertion made by an English
paper that ANY fellow of moderate
strength can lift boy about his own
weight in one hand" These are
the instructions:
Ask the boy YOU are going to lift
TO stand in II corner of the room
perfectly stiff with his hands at his
sides. Place your left hand fiat
against the wall for support, and
then bend down and place your
right hand under his foot. Then
gradually straighten your body, and
up he will come if he keeps his legs
and body perfectly rigid.
''Try to lift light boy first" the
instructor blandly adds. But here
is pastime boys of any size can try.
In fact, the taller the experimenter
is the more the spectators will enjoy

HaIlam's Portrait.

OF recently published portrait
of Arthur Hallam, inmortalized by
Tennyson's in Memoriam," a
writer says; 1T dates from the pre-
Photographic days, of course, but it
does now show signs of the fiattery
so common in portraits of that time.
The face that bore those azure
orbits heavenly WISE those ethereal
eyes, is pictured as rather gloomy,
rather lowering, that of a somewhat
heavy youth. This head was Ten
nyson's hostage to heaven through
out the stress of philosophic doubt
and was so half century later,
when the aged poet died in the faith
that his boy friend was not dead,
but alive"

Try This Coin Trick.

Put a coin on the floor and tell
your friend you will place him in
such a position that he cannot pick
it up with his mouth. The boy who
tries to pick it up must go down and
rest on the floor on one hand and
both feet. the other hand being
placed on the hip. The coin is then
placed between the thumb and the
forefnger of the hand on the floor.
The candidate must then bend for
ward and pick up the coin in his
mouth, feat he viii find impossi-

WHITES CAREER.

Coun, Witte is not a man Of hum
bic origin, according to the By

He was born at Tiflis on June II
(29), 1919, and his father was di-

maternal grandfather, General An

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Suggestions as to the Proper Trsatmsn.
Of Beddina.

Air your bedding thoroughly
every morning and you'll not only
have better health, but the bed will
be fresher and more comfortable.
in addition TO this daily airing put
The mattress, pillows, blankets, com
forts and pads out in the sunshine
At least once week and let them air
for half a day. If possible find
time TO gently whip the pillows and
mattresses with a light stick or rug
beater, for some dust is bound to
collect during weeks usage, and
this--which is unhealthy if allowed
TO accumulate-in time breeds
germs besides taking elasticity from
the feathers and making the hair
filling in the mattress dull.
Many housekeepers are careful to
change the bed linen and take pride
in keeping it snowy white, vet they
do not pull the beds apart often
enough. Careful women not only
daily air all the bedding, but dur
ing the weekly summing the springs
are taken out, busted and wiped of
with damp cloth.

The Oldest Subscriber.

There is controversy on among
the readers of the New York Herald
as to who is the oldest subscriber.
The honor appears to belong to
Nicholas Quackenbos of Chicago,
who has read every issue since 1910.
His father, DR.. Quackenbos, was
then a subscriber, and the boy de-
voured the tiny sheet every day
when it came from the basement
print shop in Ann street. He be-
came subscriber himself in 1914,
and the other day he sent his sixty
first successive annual subscription
TO the Herald office. Mr.. Quacken-
bos is eighty-one years old.

Wearers Of Unsuitable Headaear.

There Is no sense in attempting to
argue that hatchet faced man
looks well in wide brim hat or
moon faced man in a dinky little
derby with narrow brim; also men
with large ears must acknowledge
that they ought to select their lids
with a view to minimizing their de-
formity. Having reached this point,
the next thing to consider is the
work of education that must begin
at once for the wiping out of this
evil that printers would call "wrong
font" hats. Municipal ownership,
rate regulation, foreign missions and
Tom Lawson fade away into insig-
niticance when compared with this
important reform.-Milwaukee Sen

Plants and the Moon.

Camille Flammarion has been
making experiments in Paris to see
whether the moon exerts any inAu-
ence upon the growth Of plants, ac-
cording to the legend. He made
different sets of paintings at dates
which corresponded to the different
phases of the moon, using peas,
beets, carrots. potatoes, beans and
many other vegetables of the ordi-
nary kinds. The results were ex-
tremely variable, and no fixed rule
seemed to govern them. The plants
appeared at periods which had no
connection with the moons phases.

April 3 and arrived in New York on
April %. The ship was lost on the

was purchased by the Masons,

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How the Days Of the Week Came by
Their Names.

Sunday and Monday are named
from the sun and the moon, Tues
day fer the god of war trlw or Tyr,
son of Wooden and frigga, the earth
mother. Wednesday should be Wo-
densday, for it is named in honor Of
Wooden, the king of gods; Thursday
for Thor, the greatest deity of
northern mythology. They used 10
say when Thor threw his wonderful
hammer the noise of thunder was
heard through the heavens. Thor
was the only god that could not
cross from earth to heaven upon the
rainbow. lie was so heavy and pow
erful the other gods feared the bow
Of promise would break beneath his
giantlike weight.
Friday was sacred to Frigga,
queen of the gods. and not, as the
little girl said, because on Friday
they always had their fish fried.
Saturday comes from Saetcr, the
god of harvest.

If YOU don't use bath bag in the
daily self Tubing toss handful of
wheat bran into the water before
you take the little plunge. The
bran will soften the water and act
as an emoliient for the skin. Never
use alkali soap, because it is an eff
caeious enemy of CRIME. 1t isn't
the thing for the bath, since it is an
efficacious enemy of the euticle. Use
soap that isn't harsh. A soap that
makes the flesh smart is sure to dry
the skin and make it turn unlovely.
Use the best soap distinguished with
vegetable oils.

Cleaning Felt Hats.

A black felt hat may be cleaned
with ammonia and warm water, but
light hats must be cleaned with oat-
meal, heated and applied with
brush. A white felt hat is cleaned
with equal parts of powdered pipe
clay and -four. Rub the powder
over every part of the hat and then
brush thoroughly, There is nothing
better for cleaning light colored felt
hats which are only slightly soiled
than dry cornmeal rubbed on with
piece of clean flannel.
