CHANGE YOUR NAMES.

A western paper suggests that some of the players in the big leagues change their names for the convenience of the scorers. and sug- gests the following:
 Hoblitzell to Hobbs.
 Covalesky to Coval.
 Konetchy to Koney.
 Jacklitsch to Jack,
 Abbaticchio to Abbey.
 Hoelskoetter to Hoster.
 Higginbotham to Higgins.
 Cornelius McGillicuddy changed his name to Conney Mack. Why shouldn't the above bunch be con- siderate of the dear public which makes their salaries possible?

Penanee For piscourtesy.

Nicholas l., car of Russia, was the
type Of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession of terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to soften
his disposition or to render him less
imperious. But, rough and harsh as
he was, Nicholas had a measure of
chivalry in his disposition. He would
not tolerate under any circumstances
an insult offered to a woman. AS the
car was driving through the streets
of st. Petersburg he caught sight of
an officer of his household in the act
Of upsetting an old beggar woman
whose hands were raised in n prayer
for aims The official was quite I'M
mindful of the august witness Of his
net and was rather pleased when, a
few hours later, he was summoned to
the imperial presence. Nicholas soon
undeceived him and in the presence of
q dozen courtiers cut him to the quick
with his indignant reproof.'
'Enough!'' said Nicholas finally.
-'You will walk up and down that cor
ridor all night, and every time you
turn you will say in loud voice: I
am puppy! am puppy"

The Barber Hit Il.

On one of his visits to London
Joachim, the great violinist, entered a
barber shop for a shave. The barber
did not know him and eyed his flowing
locks with the air Of man who knew
just what he would do to them when
he got his customer in the chair
"Hair cut, sir?" he demanded, with a
tone that called for an affirmative an
swer.
The virtuoso signified his perfect sat-
isfaction with the length of his hir-
suite adornment.
'Just a little long at the back" the
barber insinuated as he adjusted the
cloth.
Joachim explained that he liked it
that way, and the tonsorial artist was
silent for awhile.
Rather thin on top, sir" he said,
conveying his own idea that to sacri-
fee length to thickness was poor policy.
But Joachim glared at the barber and
tossed his lionlike mane. The barber
scraped away for awhile in a moody,
discontinued fashion. But it was hard
to discountenance him.
"Better let me trim the edges for
you, sir. Just half an inch all around"
Joachim remained firm, however, and
then the barber, losing what little tact
and ingenuity he had, vented his feel
ings in the most scathing expression
Of contempt that suggested itself to his
tonsorial mind with:
"Well, of course, If you want to look
business but your own"

Old Time Drunkenness.

In reviewing 1.-THE Early Married
Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley"
the London Spectator comments on the
light in which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century. There was a christen-
ing of twins and rejoicing among the
neighbors tenants and 1aborers. Gall
the guests, says Maria, were as
drunk as / ever had the pleasure Of
seeing any one" Among the laborers,
however, "that extent Of intoxication
was not reached which causes men to
be swine.'
Lady Sheffield, who received this ac-
count Of the festivities, replies: 81
would have given a great deal to be
present. There is nothing / love so
much as such sort Of festivities, where
one has the satisfaction of knowing
that one makes ones friends happy as
well as drunk" In London, she de-
clares, "when you give ball you af-
front many people, please few, make
many drunk and yourself miserable"

Profitable LITIGATION,

On the boundary line of two farms
in an Austrian village there is a large
gooseberry bush, from which the two
farmers have for years gathered the
product. what grows on my side is
mine, and you may have the rest" was
the agreement.
Three years ago the neighbors had
misunderstanding, and this came to
climax when the gooseberries became
ripe. A lawsuit followed, and appeals
were made to higher judicial bodies.
The final decision has just been re-
corded in an Austrian paper.
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side of the line, just as it was orig
inally, but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half to
each litigant. Each farmer had to
pay 225 krone. The yearly yield c
the bush is worth about one-half krone,
and the judge told the fighting farm
ers:
with good luck it will take you only
300 years to make the bush pay. Take
good care of it."

what love really meant! But, no;

parently blind to her growing indiffer-

The fact that their betrOthal was a
family affair and as yet unannounced
would have made it easier for her to
have told him the truth and thus
broken off the engagement, but GER

1t is only to true that to re-
frain from showing affection
makes the wife miserable.
She does not care for presents
or lavish attention; she wants
those little tokens such as
may be given even in a look,
which will prove her hus-
bands love. We wish some
of the good things that some
men are saving up to say con-
corning their wives after they
are dead could be said now.
A man will spend 1925 to
buy cut flowers for his dead
wife's coffin, when if ne had
spent 25 cents for a bunch of
flowers for her when she was
alive, she would have tainted.
You wait until she is dead
and then get some preacher
to tell how good she was.

on his lips.
He opened his clinched right hand
and disclosed the curious little ring
which Helen had returned to him. AS
he looked at it his full lips stiffened
into straight, hard lines. He lifted his
hand, and there were a fash of gold
and a sparkle of flame before the
jewel disappeared in the oncoming

grimly. Then he turned and walked
briskly toward the railroad station.

The need of some place to
drop down for a moment and
forget things is a crying one
in most homes. There ought
to be enough sofas around to
accommodate all the family.
Five minutes rest will pre-
vent many a family row, and
how can you get rest if you
have to pull shams Off the
bed and roll up the overlid?
A shabby old lounge where
you can get at it is worth it's
weight in gold; and you won't
want to die half SO many
times if you make use OF it.
The looseuing of the tension
for ever so few minutes may
save your reason some day.
Don't 60 out and try to walk
off your worries; don't tell
them to your friend, either.
Just throw yourself down on
the sofa for a little while:
shut your eyes and pretend
you have no care. The wor-
ries will be lighter before
you realize it, your brain will
be clearer and your heart
stronger to meet those that
press closest.
