LIBERALITY IN MORAL CODE.
Too Many OF the Great Financiers Of
To-Day Are Believers In the Idea
Of the Brazllians.

Joseph Widener, a young Philadel-
phia millionaire, was entertaining a
party of Anglo-Americans at luncheon
at the Ritz, in London.
The day was mild and sunny, and
the French windows Of the beautiful
restaurant stood open on the green
park and Piccadilly. A Limousine glid-
ed swiftly past Devonshire's house, a
wellknown American millionaire sat
In the sumptuous car, and Mr.. Wild
ener, nodding toward the man, said
to his neighbor:
THAT is Bonns. He made 10 mil.
lions last year."
rs he honest?" the neighbor, an
Englishman, inquired. Mr.. widener
lanughed.
We'll, Lord john" he replied.
"Bonns' moral code resembles that
imputed to the Brazilians. It-er-
is liberal. 1t countenances many
shady things.
In Brazil, you know, in introduc-
ing a friend to your banker, in recon-
mending him to a business associate
and so forth, you show the highest
confidence in him--a confidence that
can go no furher-when you say:
This is my friend. For all he
steals will be responsible.

ENDED ALL SHOW OF DIGNITY
Mr.. Newlywed's Extremely Modern
Form Of Introduction Broke
the Ice at Once.

They had been married only two
weeks and were going to spend the
evening with friends. They we're to
meet friends Of their friends there. II
was expected that there would neces-
sarily be show Of dignity when the
bridegroom and the bride arrived. All
Of the company was there and sitting
around looking It's sweetest. A
BRIDE always makes dignity essential.
It happened that the bridegroom was
the particular friend Of the host. The
latter never met the bride. She was
coming into an entirely new circle.
II was expected that when the Newly
weds arrived that Mr.. Newlywed
would stammer and blush when he
introduced Mrs. Nevlywed as his wife.
Not so for this boy. He sauntered in
preceded by the dignified bride. Ev-
erybody in the parlor bristled up.
But 1t wasn't to be a bristling affair
at all. Mr.. Newlywed simply swept
around, caught the host by the arm
and led him before the bride.
Dave, meet the old lady" he said.
Dignity exit. Everybody laughed
and got acquainted in a hurry. The
good-natured Introduction of the host
to the bride loosened up the strings
of social stress. "The old lady" found
herself among friends.

ITO take down dozens of letters in
long hand is a queer experience for an
expert stenographer," said the New
York young man with pencil and
note book. But that was what I did
when held hospital position. The
letters were written for the charity
patients. My work was supposed TO
be confined to the superintendent Of

his own letters expressed a wish for
an amanuensis l was put on the Job
owing to my facility for picking up
and transcribing languages. Almost
a third of the letters / wrote in the
wards were taken down in long hand.
Many of the patients OF Polish and
Russian birth had a dread OF short
hand. AS soon as they saw was
dealing in mysterious dots and dashes
they got scared. They felt sure that /

fidget SO in order to pacify them /

WORRY OF THE DRUG CLERK
Curious Mania Some People Have for
Getting Medicine Prepared and
Not Taking II.

The woman left the prescription
and said she would call for the med.
icine in half an hour.
"I'll bet FIVE dollars she won't" said
the clerk. "She Just looks like the
kind that gets medicine put up for
the fun of the thing"
Il didn't suppose there was anybody
foolish enough to take her fun that
way" remarked the next customer"
"oh! yes, there are such people, lots
Of them," said the clerk. seldom a
week passes that we do not put up a
prescription that is never called for.
Why in the world the people who thus
neglect their remedies after ordering
them compounded will go to the trou-
BILE and expense OF consulting a doctor
is more than / can figure out. II they
don't want to take the stuff prescribed
they certainly don't have to, but they
might at least have the grace to come
In and take II home after we have
gone to the trouble to prepare IL, and
not throw IL back a dead loss on our
hands. Why, I've got regular morgue
back there for the repose of uncalled
for bottles OF medicine. keep the
stun indefinitely, hoping that in case
the customer has not been carried off
by sudden death she will show up
again some time and ask for the bot
tie. II happen to know the delin-
quent's address send 1t around c. o.
D., but people who make practice of
ordering medicine that they never In
tend to take are not apt to leave their
card with the druggist"

CURRENT VERSE
Italy.

Italy.
Our Italy's the darling Of the earth-the
treasury piled
with reveries of gentle ladies, flung
Aside, like raveled silk, from life's worn
stuff
with coins of scholars fancy, which
being rung
On workday counter, still sound silver
proof
In short, with all the dreams Of dream
ers young,
Before their heads have time for slipping
off
Hopes pillow to the ground. How oft,
indeed,
We all have sent our souls out from the
north,
On bare white feet which would not
print nor bleed,
To climb the Alpine passes ard look forth
Where the low murmuring Lombard
rivers lead
Their bee-1ike way to gardens almost
worth
The sight which thou and see after
ward.
From Tuscan Bellosguardo, wide awake,
When standing on the actual, blessed
sward
Where Calico stood at nights to take
The vision Of the stars, we find Il hard,
Gazing upon the earth and heaven, to
make
A choice Of beauty.

OF withered gust-caught leaves, sereneiy
high,
Toss in the windrack up the muttering

The leaves hang still. Above the weird
twilight,
The hurrying centers of the storm unite
And, spreading with huge trunk and roll
ing fringe,
Each wheeled upon its own tremendous
hinge.
Tower darkening on. And now from
heavens height
With the long roar of elm trees swept
and swayed,
And pelted waters, on the vanished plain
Plunges the blast. Behind the wild white
fash
That splits abroad the pealing thunder
crash.
Over bleared fields and gardens disar-
rayed
Column on column comes the drenching
rain.
