HER PET AVERSION.
The Reason One woman Is Afraid -
Her Bathtub-

az know q good many people are
afraid of i bathtub," said woman,
but not in the way that I am. I am
not afraid of the water after L am in
the tub. It's getting in and out l am
afraid of. though water in bathtub
has been deadly, too, TO some L knew
of man once who was drowned IN
his bathtub. Many man has drowned
in his bathtub. but know the widow or
this one. and that was what brought 1t
home to me Whenever they intro
duced her they whispered, Her hus-
band was drowned in a bathtub.'
1T seemed to me a sort of disgrace
to her, that way of dying. If he want
ed to drown, why didn't he go 10 the
river? If he didn't do it purposely.
then it was the fault Of the bathtub,
and that makes it a dangerous thing, 20
my notion.
Il knew another man who was seri-
ously injured by n bathtub. He was
great friend of mine. He had prom
ised to help me in lot of ways. with
my work and one thing and another
Then he was taken very i'll. He was
upon the verge OF recovery and had
written me he was coming to call in
a day or two. when 1 got word that he
had fallen in the bathtub or on It'll
have forgotten which. or maybe it fell
on him-and had broken three ribs.
81 never get in or out of my bathtub
without thinking of him and his three
ribs or without being afraid I'll fall
on the edge of it and knock out all
my front teeth."-New York Press.

No Plot.

The actor, rounded up in Russia
with a bunch of others, retained his
composure while his compa Mons in

A BEGGAR OF kHIVA.
He Was Noisy and n Thing of Shreds
and Patches.

and Patches.
In an open square, where the dust pail
forbade sight or breath, l directed my
steps toward the source Of throbbing
roll that ceaselesslv wove itself in with
the noise of voices and the pattering of
unshod feet of beasts. AS l neared it
the noise became detached from the
hubbub, a distinct and individual thing.
which insistently claimed attention and
made the very notes in the air dance
to time Under a willow tree by the
water ditch that defined the square sat
n bent old man, unbelievably ragged.
So torn were his many khalats that
they did not seem like constructed gar
ments at all, but strings Of tatters and
tags collected and hung on his fat.
weak body. His head was bent on his
breast, and his eyes were half closed.
On his stomach was wooden bowl,
with skin drum head stretched across
it, and on this drum head he beat in
cessantly with his knuckles and his
fist. The motion was so automatic and
deadly regular in it's recurrent changes
that 1t seemed almost as if he were a
clockwork figure set at the edge Of the
busy market to record the passage Of
time. I flung some coppers on the
brass begging tray by his side and went
off, unconsciously adjusting my steps
to his beating. He made the trivial
barter and the driving Of laden animals
seem vapid and futile, and my bit of
charity sickened me- 1t was as If I
had happened along and patted Socra-
tes on the back.-Langdon Warner in

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
zach Part OF the Larger Ones Is
Made by Specialists.


Artificial flowers were invented bv
the affairs and shrines were up to the
end of the eighteenth century decorat-
ed with artificial flowers. laboriously
put together of paper, parchment and
other stiff materials. In a Venetian
warehouse the most wonderful pro-
auctions of natural flowers are eX-
hihited in glass cases, and in many
cases. not only the richest and most
brilliant colors. but the very scent Of
the Covers has been stolen from ma
ture, for some Of the artificial flowers
are stepped in the perfume distilled
from the flower which it represents.
Last century 4 Swiss invented ma
chine for cutting out the leaves and
petals. but II can only be used for the
smaller kinds. such as are wanted for
hyacinths. lilies of the valley aud 9th
er small flowers. In larger petals the
irregularities Of manual work are pre-
ferrcd 10 the stiff and correct forms
produced by machinery. This material
OF which the petals are made is woven
in special factories The scissors and
other tools used by the girls employ
ed As well as the presses in which the
veins are traced on the leaves are Of Il
shape specially adapted 10 the work.
Each part Of flower Is made hv spe-
cialistS. In one room. for instance
only stalks of flowers and leaves are
made; in another. fruits and berries OF
all kinds are cast if they are wax or
blown II made Of glass. The clever
est workers are employed In making
blossoms of the single petals and bou-
quets. wreaths and garlands of the sin

THE MASTER KEY THAT UNl0CkS.

The door that leads to success is business education. Success is achieved by the one who sees clearly the goal of his object and goes straight to it. Ability has never yet lacked opportunity, neither has it remained undiscov- cred. A great many business men are anxious to secure the services of a good book-keeper, stenographer, or a general office assistant. To meet the busi- ness mans requirements, the ap- plicant must be thorough and practical. To this end and aim we put forward our best efforts and because of our good teach ing and superior methods we give our students a better training in three or four months than they can get at other schools in five and six months. Bear in mind, it is only few steps from Hills Business College to a good pay ing position. Everything is high grade and right up to date. With us you learn bookkeeping by keeping books. Our system of shorthand is the best and the shortest in the country. It is simplified, and easy to learn. easy to read and write and is practi- cal. Big summer reduction. Our $1O0 combined scholarships are now $60; $75 scholarships are now $50; $50 scholarships are now $25, 35 and $40; telegraphy $25; mail course in shorthand SEQ or $5 for five lessons.
