Autographs and HoIoaraphs.

AN autograph said an antiquary,
is worth nothing while a Photograph
may be worth $1,000 or more. An au-
tograph OF a man is his simple sigma
ture His Photograph is one of his
signed letters. and its value depends
on its interest.
Some men are such fools that they
think autographs valuable and holO-
graphs worthless.
I know a man who found in his
grandfather's chest a lot of important
letters Of Franklin, Washington, Aaron
Burr. Hamilton. Andre and Jefferson.
He read these letters; then he burnt
them. first cutting out the signatures.
For the signatures he got so cents
apiece or Whereabouts. For the letters
in their entirety he would have gotten
from 500 to $500 apiece.
by this loss of about $4,000 the
man learned the difference between an
autograph and a Photograph"

A Clever Book.

Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard"
has found worthy successor in the
anonymous modern humorist who is
responsible for Poor Richard, Jr's
Almanack," published by the Henry
Altemus company. Philadelphia. For
the past few years more than half
million people have every week, been
laughing at this authors wit and
prohting by his pithy advice as it APP
peared on the editorial page of The
Saturday Evening POST under the
caption: Poor Richard Jr's. Philos.
ophy." Now, by means of what is
evidently a rigorous process of selec.
ton, the cream of these magazine ut
terances has been skinned and put
into book form, and 1t is book that
is well worth the reading, being a
storehouse of wit and wisdom and
quaint sayings. calculated to Danish

"Somtimes, when I give a dinner
party, l have one of these little pre-
pared lettuce beds in the center OF

grow, and when the time comes for
the salad course there is their salad
blooming before them. all ready for
them to pluck"

Deaths from X.Rays.

The death Of DR.. Weigel, a surgeon
Of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use Of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant Of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman Of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case Of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
Of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
TO save his life. The first removed
part Of the right shoulder; then a
part Of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause Of death, the disease being IN
known TO medical science, though IT
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple Of life. Dr. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy Of
Medicine and the American ortho-
paedic society.

TO THE CHEERFUL MAN.
HE Praises Sung in Cheerful Tone by
Cheerful Mr.. knozzleton.

shedding more sultriness all around.
Did you feel that breeze? says
the cheerful man, smiling, and as a
matter of fact there was the faintest
flicker OF movement in the air just
at that moment, and he caught it,
because he is receptive to all good
things; and he magnified it to all his
hearers by his breezy cheerfulness.
The cheerful man for me every
time-he makes life worth living;
and | like especially to see him
around in hot and humid weather.
But he's helpful at all times.
so many people are so easily de-
pressed; good people, but with only
narrow margin of courage; so that If
any little thing goes wrong they
think that everything's going to
pieces and the world is coming to an
end, but then
'Poohl says the cheerful man.
what's that and he actually laughs
at this little picayune trouble, and
just brushes it away and forgets it,
making the faint hearted to laugh
and forget il, too; and in time he
may bring the easily discouraged
man to acquire the blessed habit of
laughing at all the petty troubles
that pop out at us on the road of
life, and so driving them away, in
stead of gloomily letting them climb
| on him to ride on his back Good
man to have around is the cheerful
man.

says the disappointed man in the
fishing party, and you'd think from
his general castdownness that catch
ing fish was the main object of life,
and that if you didn't catch any, life
was a failure.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort.
Ocean City, has a tale to tell Of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst Of it was that he did
not know they we're sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening.
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said. was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told it TO an interested company:
You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just ike them"
