Ing credence Mr.. Bodley when writ
ing his France" experienced the force
of this In curious way. He shut
himself up In France for years TO get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One of his
trials arose over some question Of elect

book. Later being invited by an ex-
perienced mayor to be present at a
poll over which he presided, Mr.. Bod
ley put the question to him and re
ceived a quite different reply. Finally
the author referred the point to a
senator Of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.-St James Gazette.

sHREWD SCHEME OF MOTHER.
No Roseate Postcard Without Its
Thorn of Suggestion.

Z Harold's' mother-well call him
Harold-went abroad a month ago,
leaving Harold under the somewhat
unsubstantial control of his elder sis
tiers.
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of
final leavetaking she had not ceased
to lombard him, Harold's mother
was far from sure that her efforts
would have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before she
landed on the other side she had de-
termined on q course Of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most covet-
Gus of picture postcards and had
looked forward to harvest from his
mothers trip.
He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And, whatever else it bore in
the way of inscription, there was not
one which failed of this introduction:

public house near Chestnut ferret Of
long experience was matched with an
old lop-eared buck, the property of the

The ferret made straight for the rab-

the ferret bodily against the waihs-

ApPETITE AND THE EMOTIONS.
Why Shouldn't One Eat, Even Il Very
Happy Or Very sad7


The following really happened on
board pleasure steamer in the
Kyles Of Butte. A young honeymoon
couple were sitting side by side, gaz-
ing on the lovely scenery around
them.
Isn't It heavenly, George? she
murmured. Il feel thrills all over
me-"
Then without pause, as If still
carried away by the Inspiration of the
moment: Dearest, If there are any
left, l think would like chocolate"
No good reason exists why spiritual
emotions should not make one
hungry. The bride who demanded
sweets was wiser than a girl who once
remained starving and inconsolable in
her room after the departure Of her
lover for India.
At last an amateur Hebe ventured
upstairs with a cup of coffee and a
plate of toast. Yielding to persuasion,
the afflicted maiden was induced to
eat and drink and began to look some
what less detected.
Il believe ! was dying for some
