etc, and quite likely give away many
little tricks of the trade. From his
lofty and assured position he can af-
ford little generosity. An illuminat-

sented NJ. Marcel by his English al
mirers.
The very latest cure for nervous
troubles, insomnia, etc, is the puzzle.
Professors, Judges, officials of the most
dignified class are investing in dozens
of these, and all the puzzle makers are
working overtime to keep up with the
demand. A new puzzle is snapped up
almost before it is fairly finished, and
a specially popular puzzle is a gold
mine to its inventor just at this time.
People going away COR the Summer
lay in their stock Of puzzles as they
We're wont to do their reading matter. A
public official who suffers from insom-
MIA has dozens of these puzzles. When
he wakes up at or Il. M, as wide
awake as an owl, instead of tossing
around on his bed OF attempting TO
read, he sits up and works out puzzle,
and in few minutes he is so sleepy
he cannot hold his eyes open. and
spends the remainder of the night in
dreamless slumber. Doctors are CIV
ing these puzzles to their patients with
great results. The "Where-am-P' puz-
zle seems to be master favorite. and
goes off like hot cakes at the places
where it is sold. Get busy, you bright,
wide-awake young people, and invent
some catchy little puzzle, which will
stand just as good a chance as any of
bringing to you pecuniary reward.
Large ears standing out well from
the face are not beautiful to look at,
but like many unattractive but worthy
things in life sometimes fill the bill,
to speak colloquially, as nothing else
possibly could. Charles e. Lloyd. a
cigarmaker of Alexandria, Va, has
been given by nature a pair of par
ticularfy large, outstanding ears which
have been more or less of a trial to
him. Little did he think that he
would one day owe his life to them, or
to one of them. But such is indeed the
strange truth. The other day, for some
reason not given, he jumped into the
river and was about to sink within a
few feet of the wharf, when Caps
Davis leaned over and Selling him by
one of his well-developed ears dragged

the shore. He didn't seem to particu-
larly appreciate having his life saved,
but he had the decency to give the
credit to his useful but not ornamental
aural appendage.
Think of never having missed a ser
mon, prayer meeting. Bible class, La
dies Aid, or Sunday school in 20 years,
not even once. 1t seems incredible.
but this remarkable record is claimed
for Mrs. Adelia Everett, of Hebron,
Me, who dropped dead recently on
returning from Sunday night service.
Mrs. Everett was 81 years old, and the
little Baptist church of which she had
been a member in such remarkable
good and regular standing was built
when she was only II years old. She
was of course, blessed with remarka-
BILE health and strength, but even when
she wasn't feeling well she would
go to church, tho she had to be carried
there. At the time her only child was
born it looked as if her remarkable
record would be broken, but no ordi-I
nary woman was Mrs. Everett her
fame as a church goer, etc, was estab-
lished, it had Travelled far and wide,
and nothing but death could keep her
from the performance of her religious
duties. She became so hysterical when
Sunday morning came at the very
thought of missing service, tho only
four days after the birth of her son,
that they Just had to take her to
church, and it didn't hurt her bit.
