After lunch there came the ride

Gwen nodded and ran toward the

for yielding so easily, yet she was glad
when in the evening the putting of the
launch broke the summer stiffness and
Ted guided the beat alongside the

THE FRENCH MEAL.
Its Greatest Charm Is the Cheerful
Table Talk.


Table Talk.
After all, excellent as are the dishes
and the order and manner of their serv-
Ice, the table talk is perhaps the chief
glory of the French meal.
1t is no unusual thing to hear our
countrymen and countrywomen, espe-
cially our countrywomen, refer to eat
ing as necessary evil, like the pre-
scribed dose of noisome medicine; as
an altogether bothersome business to
be disposed of as quickly as possible,
with an air that is sour, aggressive,
disguised. languid, patronizing, dream
full, whining or discouraged, according
as 1t springs from dyspepsia, puritan
ism, interrupted hustling anaemia, af-
fectation, esoteric philosophy, disap-
pointment in love. or honest WEAKNESS
with a hard and monotonous daily
round.
Such a sentiment would scarcely be
uttered in France, where the attitude
toward the table is universally cordial
and respectful, and 1t could not be
taken seriously If 1t were.
The French writer who said, 1.-The
table Is the sole place where one il
never bored during the first hour"
voiced perfectly a national feeling

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

If you believe in fortune telling any
body can fool you
After some people have done their
duty they act as if they expect people
to cheer
If you are disagreeable, people
will hate you There are no exceptions
to this rule
When a man is compelled to make
an effort to be good natured, he should
see a doctor at once.
Every man is occasionally against
this propose lion He can't afford to,
and he can't afford not to.
If the attention of those you are talk
ing to wanders frequently that is a
sign that you are not talking well and
are talking too much.
Some people think they are all right
if they don't steal But there are many
other things you must do, if you want
to stand well with your neighbors.-

a prominent lawyer in Ohio, who
was very eccentric. always rubbed his
hands and Went through several other
movements before speaking. One day
while in court "a younger lawyer. after
seeing him 90 this several times, got
up and did it, too, in very slow and
deliberate manner. and, after saying
what he was going to. sat down,
whereupon the older man got up and
said, "That young man acts like good
lawyer but he talks like a fool"

A woman entered a well filled Broad.
way surface car. She was reasonably
young, fairly well dressed and good
looking but she walked with a deep,
painful limp. As she clutched for a
strap half Il dozen men arose hastily
and offered her seats. She took the
nearest one and sank into it with a
look of relief. The other men resumed
their seats, and the car sped merriiy
on. Half a mile farther uptown the
woman slgnaled the conductor to stop,
and as the car slowed down she arose,
walked jauntily out and stepped off
the car with the nimbleness of a
schoolgirl
The man whose seat she had been
occupying looked first amazed, then
sheepish, as the other passengers be-
gan to grin at him, then joined in, as
becomes an American when placed in
trying circumstances
She's an actress at one Of the

wit of a scotch Lunatic.

This lunatic asylum story comes
from Glasgow: Two councillors of that
city were taken over a large asylum
the other day by one of the patients,
a safe man. He had led them to a
room to display view from a win
dow, when some one shut the door,
with its self acting lock, and the three
men We're prisoners. The patient alone
preserved his composure. While the
councillors clamored to be released be
remarked:
''If | were you l would be quiet"
No help coming. the councillors grew
desperate. Beads of perspiration stood
on their brows. and they fairly yelled
''If l We're you" repeated the patient

the visitors

You don't come in. Tommy did the

Corllss, aged is years was arrested to-
day at Fayston charged with shoot
ing Henry Tracy in that town We'd
nesday night. Corliss practically has
admitted the shooting, but there is a
suspicion which further investiga-
ton may determine. that others be-
sides Corliss, who is not considered
bright mentally. arc implicated in the
crime. An autopsy on tho body was
performed this morning by Or. b. II.
Stone OF tho State laboratory of hy-
giene at Burlington to determine, il
possible, whether the excessive use OF
intoxicating liquor had anything di-
rcctly to do with Tracys death. Tho
result of this autopsy has not been
made public. Corllss took his arrest
coolly. His neighbors state that he is
much below mediocre in ability and
intelligence and they are slow to at
tribute to him any intention of shoot
ing Tracy.
