 Went in sane!'
 "Gracious. And Jimmie Bowles-'the little muskrat as you used to call him, who was so devoted?'
 Killed in an auto accident trying to save my llfe''
 Dear me! And your >eedy artist swain, who found in you the only GUS toner for his wonderful paintings?'
 Became waiter. and married an heiress!"

cARUSO AND THE CLOCK.

Herbert Corey in the Cincinnati Times
 Star.
 New York.-"Curses on the clock said the Cheyalier Caruso. He turned over uneasily in his bed at the Plaza. On the wall the big clock licked steadily. MT Caruso rose from his couch, secured a shoe, and with the heel of the shoe ham mered the face of the clock to a pulp. Wheels, springs and other jiggers draped the wall like spaghetti on a Christmas tree. MT. Caruso noted that the ticking had ceased, and went to bed. Soon he snored. Then there came a pounding on the door. The clock was but one on the electrical circuit which keeps PA other clocks in the Plaza going. When Caruso mashed his timepiece he put every other clock in the house out of business. The other 22 clocks were examined first, and by process of elimination the manage ment came to the conclusion that the trouble was in the Caruso apartment. A valet, a second man, "a butler and the fourth man, who can cook when the tenor needs an especial treat, tiptoed to the door, and shook their forefingers frantically at the electrician. "H-ss-ss- ssh they breathed sibiliantly. "Signor Carus is sleep
 "Yah-ah-ah," he screamed
 "Take away da clock. Curs-a da clock. Curs-a evvabod'."
 The electrician, stolid, had unlocked the remnants. He started for the door, his arms full of hardware.
 Don't you swear at me- dern you" he said truculenty.
 Caruso beamed with curiosity.
 "What-a that 'dern?" he asked. q mus learn to say that"

THE MoDESTY OF GREATNESS.

From the Boston Globe.
 Lord Kelvin, who has just died, and who achieved his greatest scientific dis tinction while he was still Sir William Thomson, said a year ago on the oc- casion of his 50th anniversary as pro- lessor of the University of Glasgow:
 q know no more of electrical or mag netic force, or of the relation between ether. electricity and ponderable matter, or of cherdeal affinity than knew and tried to teach to my students 50 years ago in my first session as professor" ( Thus did the man of genuine intellectual greatness express his sense of humility in the presence of the mysteries of na- ture quite as earnestly as Sir Isaac New ton when he said that he knew not how he appeared to the world, but to himself he seemed ito have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and divert ing myself in now and then finding . smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary. whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me

Outlook Rrinhtens.

Two of our furnaces have just been banked" said an official of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company last night, but they are only banked-not blown out. They will be started up again as soon as the holiday season is past.
 While there has been little demand for, iron duringN the past few months small sales are being made right along and the brisk inquiry now for 19JS delivery indicates an early return of activity. The outlook grows brighter every day."

TRUST MODESTY.

From the Chicago News.
 Beautiful lessons can be learned even from the lowly~octopus. For instance, when the American Tobacco company swallows a rival, hide, hair and boots, it does not boast of its wonderful ca pacity and powers of digestion, but shows sweet modesty by conceaiing the facts.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A voter can get very excited lover the consttution.if he has never read it.

Glancing around at the throngs of well dressed women, Hofmann expressed his admiration. For years and years" said he as something like tears glistened in his eyes, 'I have seen only men. It looks good to see so many beautiful faces and such lovely dresses. They must !. be all very rich to dress like that"
 Warden Frost tried to get an automo- bile at Columbus Circle to take the two around bit, but failed to find one. He then induced them to brave the subway again, and they went down to Twenty eighth street. The old men were shown bit of Broadway.
 'I have read about it and I've tried to picture it," said Hofmann, but 1t Is all greater than l ever imagined. l can't describe how it seems to me. must have time, time to think it all over"
 The two happy men were taken to No. 3i West Twenty eighth street, the home of the Volunteers of America. There they found waiting for them Mrs Maud Ballington Booth and A. V. Wadham of the parole board, and his wife The ex-convicts tried to express thanks, but their voices checked with emotion.
