his wife. 81 laughed so much that l

Funny part that was where the
man fooled his wife and was out
with another woman while the mother
of his children was at home telling
them what noble fellow he was, be-
cause she thought he was working
overtime for their benefit.
Il thought I'd die at the ridiculous
ness of it. l never saw anything in
my life that was half so funny. How
cleverly he pulled the wool over her
eyes, and what a fool he made of
her. Dear me, I have to laugh out
loud, even now, whenever I think OF
it,"
Eyes, it was great. I'm so glad you
enjoyed it. l suppose if | were to

BOOK PLATES.
Their Invention Came Half a Century
After the Printing Press.

1t was within half a century from
the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as Identifying
marks to indicate the ownership of
the volume.
Germany, the fatherland of printing
from movable type and of wood cut
ting for making impressions in ink on
the book plate.
The earliest dated wood cut of &C.
cepted authenticity is the we'll known
"St. Christopher of 1923" which was
discovered in the Carthusian monas-
terry of Buxheim in Suabia.
1t was to insure the right of owner
ship in a book that the owner had it
marked with the coat-of-arms of the
family or some other heraldic device.
Libraries were kept intact and passed
from generation to generation, bear
ing the emblem of the family.
The first book plate in France is
dated 1874; in Sweden, 1875; Switzer-
land, 1907; and Italy 1923. The earli-
est English book plate is found in a
folio volume once the property of Car
dinal Wolsey and afterward belonging
to his royal master.
The earliest mention of the book
plate in English literature is by
Pepys, July 16, 1858. The first known
book plate in America belonged to
Gov. Dudley. Paul Revere, the pa
triot, was one of the first American
engravers of book plates and design
er of great ability.

Superhuman Feat Performed Under

toiling slowly across Tennessee. The
advance-guard had bivouacked for the
night, with pickets in sight of the
enemy, guarding a bridge at the only
practicable crossing of narrow, deep
stream that coursed its way through
ragged bluffs. The author of "Old

was saved:
Delay meant destruction of the
bridge. for the commander of the
army could see that the enemy was
tearing up the bridge flooring.
"Dunkard," said the general. that
bridge must be saved at any cost.
