All That Was Left.

A young married couple took q late
train for Washington, intending to
spend their honeymoon in rambling
through the corridors of the capitol,
Congressional library and other public
buildings. The porter was awakening
passengers at an unusually early hour
that morning, and long before tho
train reached Baltimore he had them
up. The groom told his bride that he
Fould leave his coat and hat and re-
tire to the smoking compartment Of
the train. He went out and met a
friend. who asked him back into an
other car In order that lie might meet
Il friend of his. Soon the conductor be-
gan making his rounds and taking up
tickets. The young bride referred him
to the smoking apartment, where, she
said, her husband would be found. A
moment later the conductor returned
and informed her politely that the
bridegroom was not to be found. The
other passengers We're startled by a
loud shrek.
MY husband! Oh. my husband!
Don't he alarmed, madam" said the
conductor reassuringly. Nothing has
happened to your husband. He is
probably In Baltimore. We dropped
two sleepers at that point" And that
was why friends of the young couple
who went to the station in Washington
to meet them saw only the bride cling.

A Good Job.

"The late Andrew McNally of our
well known publishing firm once had
occasion" said Chicago lawyer, "to
consult me about an infringed copy

there would be no trouble about cor

poor man, and every week or so she
used to come to the village rectory
with pheasant or hare to SELL The

time the pastor bought of her Then,

The next time the girl called lie said
to her sternly:
"It is good, fresh game you bring,

pheasants and hares honestly?'

1annled Bank Accounts.

at is remarkable" said an old bank
employee, chow few people keep their
bank accounts absolutely correct. AT
ordinary times this failing is not con-
spicuous, because books are usually
balanced when there is still credit
to the depositor's account. When the
balanced book is received with the
vouchers the usual discrepancy Is
found after much labor in an omitted
entry, either deposit or check or in the
form Of an error in addition or sub

What the Lunatie Thouoht.

A clergyman was suddenly called
upon, away from home to preach at n
lunatic asylum, and he decided to make
use of a favorite missionary sermon of
his.
After the service, us the clergyman
was leaving the chapel, one of the in
mates stepped up to him and said:
''rhat was n good sermon You gave
us, sir"
The clergyman was pleased and re.
piled:
81 am glad you liked 1t. What part
in 1t especially interested you"
Where YOU told about the mothers
throwing their infants into the Ganges."
YES" said the clergyman, shat is
very sud, but it is true, and we must
do our utmost to enlighten those I'M
happy people, that they may turn from
the error of their way"
YES, indeed" continued the lunatic.

Norway superstitions.

So drenched is Norway with old leg
ends and fairy tales and a-pervasive
intimacy with the supernatural that it
is impossible to understand Norwegian
character, especially as expressed in
Norwegian art without some compre-
tension of the spirit world. for the
world of the sailors and fishers Of the
white northland, the world of the peas
ants and simple country folk, is in
habited by savage, wicked elves and
spirits. Everything is controlled by
its own demon, who must be propitiat.
ed IL life is to go smoothly. Even the
weather is controlled by various de-
mons, and the COMFY Films, with their
pretensions of magical power, have
reaped n rich harvest from the SUPER
stitious Norwegians, many of whom
still buy fair weather from the Can
Finn by the sackful. Whoever has
known a Norwegian fisherman has
heard Of the Draug, that demon Of the
sen who rides in half boat and who
Is warning of swift and awful death.

Arabian Hypocrisy.

available cash they can lay their hands
OH is by no means degrading. But
even here subtle dialectic comes into
play The Arab must always have
right Oh his side for in studied and
complex hypocrisy he has nothing
to learn from us. If an Arab would
rob his guest-I am speaking from per-
sonul experience-he will first talk at
length on the subject of honor, hospi-
tality. and so forth. He will gradually
work the matter round as to why you
are travelling. throw out suggestions
that spies, enemies and intruders can
not claim hospitality, suggest that he

whether he ought not to detain you as

brain he might describe as the least he
could accept with honor or the most
he could extract without danger to
himself"

Small Bet Nohlx Paid.

Lord Falmouth-who bred horses,
knew all about them and had had for
trainer that paragon, John Scott-never
bet but once. He had a promising
FLY, Queen Bertha, and she was the
favorite for the Oaks in 1862. She had
apparently fallen off in condition, and
her owner put no confidence in her.
Falmouth was inclined to scratch her,
when Mrs. Scott, John Scotts wife,
spoke up for her fayorite. "I'll lay
your lordship sixpence she WINS" said
Mrs. Scott, laughing. For once Lord
Falmouth broke his rule never to bet
and exclaimed, Ozone, Mrs. Scott!
So Queen Bertha, with Tom Aldcroft
up, appeared at the post and, thanks
to the brilliant riding of her jockey.

first place. Lord Falmouth paid his
bet to Mrs. Scott in noble fashion. He
procured n brand new sixpence from

monds and mounted as brooch and

Primarily the galleon was but
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony of fate she became, almost from
her inception, n center of the iiercest
fighting. Square rugged and high of
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
of waist, with massive bulwarks and
forecastle, and poop three and four
decks high, she possessed a picturesque
appearance, but little of sensible naval
architecture. The stem was clumsy,
broad and blunt and smashed heavily
through the waves to the great detri-
ment of speed. This and the towering
stern presented such surface to the
wind that the difficulties of steering
We're quite formidable, and six or eight
men ut the wheel We're not unusual.
The method In this apparent madness
of marine construction was tire land
lubber's instinct, still strong in men Of
the sea OF those days, to reduce all
naval maenuvers to the stand up and
knock down tactics of the land fight on
n common platform.-John C. Fitzpat-
