Penalty or Politene...

The "tradcsman" has his troubles as
well as his next door neighbor, the
"business man." One day last week a
wholesale fish dealer In Fulton market
was approached by a fashionably
dressed woman, who, after asking the
price, decided to buy pound of
smelts. Although it was not custom
ary to cater to retail trade. to be con-
genial he decided to oblige her.
II would like to have them cleaned.
If you please" she said.
The flshman cleaned them.
"Oh, yes," the woman considerably
remarked after looking them over.
will you kindly take all the bones
out?"
Certainly" said the man. But be
said things to himself as he went be-
hind the icebox and extracted the
bones.

ped the smelts in neat parcel, which
he handed the woman.
ct am so much obliged to you," she
said. "You see. my cat absolutely re-
fuses to eat fish IL they are bony."
AS the fashionably gowned woman
walked out the fishman said some more

Americans, odd erase.

Some Americans have an odd craze
for believing that the rightful heirs Of
British peerages are Americans kept
out of their own" One Of these queer
people asks me whether Jemima, the
heiress' Of the Macdougal line of Earls
of Tobermory, was not really daugh-
ter Of Queen Mary? Was not James
vi. son Of fat old Lady Reres, not
of Queen Mary? The present Duke Of
Tobermory is descended from the fifth
son Of the earl of 1715. But what be-
came of the fourth son? The peerages
say that he died young without off
spring. But did he not escape to
America" and is he not the Thomas
Robertson who married fair c0lonist
in 1730. and is not a. certain Robert
Thompson the son of this Thomas Rob
ertson, and are not his descendants

It was with volume entitled mod

works have done much to vivify ideals
of life and ennoble our standards of
conduct. Ruskin. however. was not

Beth looked curiously about the ball.
Behind the scenes had always been u
domain Of fairyland to her. The
thought that she was to witness re-
Learsal, and dress rehearsal at that,
syerpowered her.
1t was not ut all as she had pictured
Il. The long, low ceillnged hall was
very unlike the stage, and the mass of
properties and scenery thrown about in
apparent chaos bewildered her. A
huge bowlder lay AGAINST an Italian
fountain, and flower beds, stacked one
above the other, looked very unlike the
flower beds she knew.
Over in one corner group OF men
were pulling and hauling at girl
dressed as an Indian. In the center
of the hall half a dozen men were
struggling through some unfamiliar
music. and not far away heavily
built man was deliberately Sitting a
new leather coat into shreds and rub

aspect of newness.
