A, Ane,.nt uog story.

A delightful dog story has been ex-
humed from the misty past and Is now
preserved i'm the records OF an old
court at southampton, England. III
dates from 1857 and must be told in
the quaint terminology of the period:
Item we present Vt at the TYNE OF our
sytting ther hath ben complaint made
of another dogg, betwene a nasty *
q mungerell, of Peter Quoyte's which
hath stronng QUALITIES by himselfe,

The Guil1otine.

The machine employed In French
public executions has the reputation
OF being the invention OF DR.. Guillotin,
but the machine was used long before
the doctor had seen one. All he did
was to publicly encourage a preference
for this means of death as being pain
less. and In consequence some one. un'
happily for the doctors humanity
named the machine after him. The
guillotlne was really prepared by a
German mechanic named Schmidt I'M
der the direction Of DR.. Antonine Louis
and hence at first was called q lou
isOn'' or ''louisette."
And here Il may not be out OF place
10 mention the cognate error that Gull
lotln was its first victim. He nearly
became n victim of the revolution, but
he escaped. and after the ending OF his
political career ne resumed his duties
as q physician and became one OF the
founders of the Academy OF Medicine
In Paris. He died May 26, 1914, aged
seventy-slx. but the French revolution
died twenty years earlier. The first
man executed by the guillotine was q
hlghwayman. who died in 1902.

But, Dick, I've let the girl out for

Qufcfed the Barber.

A distinguished senator from the
northwest stroled into the barber shop
IN the senate wing one day for shave
The chairs were all occupied The
statesman, seeing this. started to go out,
with the idea of returning little later
but the head barber Of the tonsorlal
parlor sought to detain the senator. lie
called after him IN rather strlden'
tone:
You're the next, senator"
The northwestern senator wheeled
about, assuming a sad smile, placed q
hand over his fast pulsating heart as
though the throbbing there pained him
and said to the head barber.

OF that any oftener than you can help
| understand fully that | am tabled
but permit me to enjoy what peace
may until the blow falls"
And the occupants of the chairs
chuckled under their soapy masks

The Name Tuxedo.

The Tuxedo coat got It's name from
the fashionable colony - Tuxedo, and
the original mime Of the place was
Duck Cedar. Lots Of the old natives
still call 1t Duck Cedar. George Tida-
bech. one Of the original settlers OF Tie
country, named the place. The lake
was then much smaller than It IS now
and was simply known as the fish
pond. One day old Tidabech and his
sons had gone there TO shoot game.
The ducks were very plentiful; numer-
Gus cedar trees were growing out or
the rocks along the shore.

the old man. Let rs call it Duck

So Duck Cedar II was and continued
to he for many years until the name

Picking a Way Across a Mountain.

Picking n way is good fun. You must
first scout ahead in general Then you
determine more carefully just where
each hoof Is TO fall. For instance, 1t Is
d question of whether you are TO go
above or below Il certain ledge. You
decide on going below because thus
you will dodge little climb and also
rather slippery looking rock slide.
But on investigation you find. hidden
by the bushes, q riven bowlder. There Is
no way around it. So then retrace your
steps TO the place where you made
your first choice. The upper route
again offers you an alternative. You
select one; it turns ont well; forks
again. But you discover both these
forks utterly impracticablc. 50 back
YOU must hike TO the very beginning
to discover, If you can. perhaps third
and heretofore unconsiGcrcI chance
Then, If none are good, You must east
In review the features Of all your little
explorations III order 10 determine
which best lends Itself TO expedicnts
This consumes time, but it is great fun.

ain at the time Of the rule OF the
Danes, before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded in driving them from the
land. Owing 70 the assassination OF

pledged in wine. and hence the custom
Of drinking healths.

Most Of our states have flags. some
of them very peculiar ones. These are
carried as the state colors Of the mill
tia regiments. Our own is too familiar
to need description. THE white stand
ard OF Massachusetts" has been seen
in the forefront OF many battles. New
York displays buff flag. and the state
banner OF Maryland bears on ground
of blazing yellow the arms aDd motto
OF the Calyerts. The heraldic design IS
so disposed as to give Maryland's flag

It Is more suggestive Of the pictur-
