Irouble-M akinu.

Trouble-making is an older industry
than the manufacture of steel. Cain,
the trouble maker, got into action be-
fore Tubal Cain, the iron worker; and
Eve got Adam into hot water long be-
for the boilermakers' union began
business.
There are three brands of trouble,
imaginary, borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists of rail-
road accidents, earthquakes, fires, sui
cides, diseases like the patent-medi-
cine man makes, the poorhouse, death,
and the grave, carefully mixed and
taken after a late dinner, or a drop in
the stock market
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get
from our relatives. Its principal in
gradients are visits, borrowed money,
birthday presents, advice and expec-
tations. But the real article is pro-
duced as follows: Put the sandals of
endurance on your feet, take your life
in your hands and follow by turns
the how-to-be-happy philosopher, the
preacher of physical culture, and the
apostle of diet-Puck.

JONES PUT UP A SUBSTITUTE.
And incidentally Got Reputation as
AfterDinner Speaker.

IF there is one thing l hate" re-
marked Mr.. Jones, 'it is after-dinner
speeches. Well, once 1 found myself
at big banquet, where / knew very
few of those present. To my amaze
ment and horror, toward the end of
the festivities, the POSTMASTER fixed
his eyes upon me-
We have with us tonight /
heard the old, hated formula roll out
unctuousiy from his lips-and then
my own name-'Mr. Jones, the we'll
known etc.
THE POSTMASTER concluded, but
made no move to get on my feet. l
felt paralyzed; my tongue was seeking
to climb through the roof of my mouth.
And then the guests, from all sides,
began yelling: Yes, Jones, Jones!-
which is Jones where is Jones?'
"a brilliant idea came to me. Sit
ting close beside me was little man
who dearly loved speechifying. Like
a fash 1 jumped to my feet. Jones?
Why, here's Jones!' l cried, and
clapped the little Demosthenes on the
shoulder Then 1 yanked him to his
feet, murmuring in an ominous soto
voce: Don't give me away; speak

HE spoke. And, in the guise of
myself, he made a most successful
little grafton. There was loud ap-
plause and much shouting Of What's

Dancer VIII Still Be Braved-

A medical journal in issuing a warn.
ing against kissing tells of young
man who was inoculated with a seri-
ous illness by friendly kiss from a
young woman. He, in turn, kissed his
dancee, the journal in question neg
Letting to state whether she knew of
the prior kiss. The fancee kissed her
girl friends, they kissed their sweet
hearts and everybody got sick In an
other case a tuberculous young woman
kissed her sweetheart, and both died
within the year. But in spite of these
awful warnings and advice about
either nonosculation or antiseptic
osculation, kissing in the good old
fashioned way will continue popular

ACTED UPON BY SUGGESTION.
That Thought May Produce Blister on
Hand, Is Medical Fact.

It is not generally known that
thought may produce a blister on the
hand or an ulcer on the foot, as well
as many other actual physical
changes in ones organism which are
little short of miraculous. have no
doubt that st. Francis of Assist re-
ceived the stigmata of the cruciflxion
on his hands and feet as historically
described. l have no doubt, because
its possibility has been put to the
proof within the past few years, and
by friend of mine whom l will name,
Prof. Kraft Ebing of Vienna told a
young woman he would place a small
fly plaster upon her which would pro-
duce blister in a few hours. He
actually only put a postage stamp
upon the skin, without her knowledge,
and covered it over so securely with
bandages that she could not interfere
with it. The blister appeared as sug
gested.-Frederick Peterson, M. D., in

Legal Amenities.

Several decades ago there lived in
Charleston, w. Va, Judge noted for
his boorish manners. A very finical
lawyer whom he especially disliked
was once trying case before him, and
all the while the barrister spoke the
Judge sat with his feet elevated on
the railing in front of him hiding his
face.
Exasperated by this the lawyer
queried
May 1 ask which end of your honor
/ am to address"
Whichever you choose" drawled
the Judge.
WELL" was the retort, Il suppose
there is as much law in one end as
the other"

ONE THING LACKING
WHAT SPOILED THE PLEASURE
OF THE CLAMsAKE.

William Harris, Andrew Mack,

Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Hapgood Burt

by Mr.. and Mrs. Mason Peters and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Williams
II was a real old-fashfoned Long
Island bake. Not one of your gas
range bakes, but a genuine one, with
spring chicken and green corn and
sweet potatoes and seawood and hot
stones and tarpaulin cover and all
that. o, this clambake was right or
it wasn't any.
NOW, don't eat anything until you
get at the CLANS" said Mr.. and Mrs.
Peters.
Yes, save a little cozy corner for
the CLANS" urged Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liams.
So the guests obeyed orders They
arose early in the morning and toyed
with rowing machines and health lifts
and other such laborious inventions to
get up an appetite, and then abstained
from food to be sure that hunger
would be where they could lay their
hand on it when the bell rang down
at Douglas manor.

as he held his head back and let his

miles out to sea at the gray early
morning. l rowed the boat We went
to catch the fish. We didn't get a
bite. No, I've never been at a real
clambake, but | was at that bluefish
breakfast l forgot to say that l rowed
those four miles back on the deep
blue sea, too"
Down at Douglas manor everything
had the hustle of preparations. The
spring chickens had all been sprung,
the green corn was on hand the sweet
potatoes and the seaweed and the
tarpaulin and the other things were
Mr.. and Mrs. Peters and Mr. and
Mrs. Williams got in the auto and
went down the beach to the mud flats
They were going to dig the clans
themselves, so as to be sure they
would be fresh
They worked away in the mud for
couple of hours while the tide was out
and gathered about bushel or more.
Then bic; sunburned native came up
and wanted to know whose clans they
were digging.
''Anybody's," said Mr. Peters.
mot much; they're NINE" said the
native, and he produced a deed to
show he owned the mud fiat. He
would not sell clans. He wanted his
clans. He took the basket and scat
tered the bivalves far and wide Then
he ordered the trespassers off his
ground
By this time the tide was in again
for the day. There was no real Rhode
Island clambake. There was an ach-
ing void in several empty stomachs.

house and kicked himself

when there were only three of the

Islands for Sale.

1t may perhaps be of interest to
some of your readers to hear that in

small islands at present on the
market.
Among these may be mentioned

about seven days by steamer from
Samoa, and both planted with cocoa
nuts.
Last year | visited the New Heb

eral islands for sale, but these are not
so healthy as others, fever being

Of mine assured me not long ago that

obstinate in small things, and, in fact,
what we call unbusinesslike.-

The Cycle of Fashions.

Progress follows the line Of ad-
