PUT ON TO A NEW WRINKLE.
City Salesman Learned Something
About Regulation Of Watches.

after carrying a watch for 80 years
! have Just learned something new In
watch lore" said the city salesman. II
don't know Whether 1t Is true or not,
but an old Matchmaker told me. I
bought watch Of him the other day.
It was a cheap watch. He said:
"What pocket are you going to
carry your watch in-the right or
leftT
II told him the left.
"'Then, said 10. I will regulate II
for the left
II asked what difference It made,
and he declared that a watch runs
faster on the lek side than on the
right, so to keep It from gaining time
he regulates 1t accordingly. In hns
watches the difference is hardly worth
considering. ba< In watches Of cheap
make like mine 1t is very noticeable.
I asked for q seientific reason for this
variation. He could give none; said
he only knew II was true, and then,
whether he was taking or not, he pre-.
tended to regulate my watch for the
left pocket"

A LEGAL Triumph.

question at issue was the Identification

and battery. For some time the law.

"You say the assailant had black
hair?"

what is the color Of my hair?"
continued the attorney.

The Lost Leisure.

Leisure is gone-gone where the
spinning-wheels are gone, and the pack
horses and the slow wagons, and the
peddlers who brought bargains to the
door on sunny afternoons Ingenious
philosophers tell you, perhaps, that
the great work Of the steam engine Is
to create leisure for mankind. Do not
believe them; 1t only creates a vacuum
for eager thought to rush in. Even
idleness is eager now--eager for
amusement; prone to excursion trains,
art museums, periodical literature

HARDsHlps ENDURED BY TRUTH.
Why She Took Up Her Abode at tho
Bottom Of Well.

II am Naked" said Truth. and shiv-
cred. Come here" said the CRATER,
''and l will dress you as you should
be dressed" And 30 Truth was rugged
out In the garments he provided for
her. She presented sorry figure, and
many people took her for an efigy.
Looking at herself In the glass. she
discovered that something was wrong.
And 10 she flung aside the garments
and started forth once moro. ''i
Il am still Naked" she moaned.
"As IT," cried the Scientist. II hadn't
been waiting all these years to show
you just how you should be garbed."
And so he caught her, and fitted her
out with a complete wardrobe. 1t GER
tainly looked alluring. Truth was
fetching in the extreme. She looked
so convincing that she was almost
ready to believe she had now become,
through the force Of outward appear
ances, the real thing. But alas! Her
colors did not wear. As fast a. her
clothes were made for her by this new
tailor they faded. And 20 once more
Truth stole away and denuded herself.
"Still Naked she murmured.
A theologian came along.
"And So" he said, perhaps you Will
be ready now TO believe that ! can i'm.
prove your appearance" And hs
promptly logged her out in surplice
and stole and put solemn mask on
her face.
Truth stood It as long AZ she could.
II am suffocating," she exclaimed
at last, and tore of the mask and the
ether robes and started to run away.
Come here" said Good Society,
"and l will give you precedence over
the mighty"
But Truth shook her head.
Sorry" she replied, but I have q
permanent engagement at the bottom
Of we'll. No one will trouble me
there, as there are too many germs"
And so Truth found herself at last.

FIGURES IN ARTISTIC ROMANCE.
Church Altar Piece the Center of In
teresting Love Story.

There is perchance no more roman

Fra Filippo Lippi for the little nun,
Lucrezia Butt, and romantic, too, is
the history of the altar piece painted
for her convent church in Prato Fra
F1lppo, who had been commissioned
TO decorate this altar. asked the alb
hess to allow the timid nun to stand
as his model for St Margaret The
abbess consented (this circumstance
itself speaks for the curious manners
OF the times), and thus in the long
hours of posing and tete-a-tetc an in
tlmacy sprang up between the pair.
Upon the occasion of a church fete
and under cover of the crowd, Fra
Fflippo carried off the no longer nm
willing Lucrezia and she went 10 dwell
in his house, where her son Filipino
was born. The affair caused much
talk, even in those days, the more so
that several of Lucrezia's sister nuns
followed her example and FIlippo's
house became the center of revolt
The pope's Intervention and that Of
the powerful Medici were finally in
'voked with the result that Luerczia
and her companions were forced to
return to the convent, and by curt
GUS irony of fate they We're put to do
penance before the very picture which

DUMMY DISHES FOR sANoUETs.
Are Used to Give Impression of Prod
i9al Display.

Cardboard cakes and other similar
delicacies are, it seems, no longer con
fined to the stage, and at many func
tions requests for a portion from a
particular dish might cause great CON
sternation.
The use Of these dummy dishes is
increasing very much, for at many Of
the public banquets for which the tick
cts are almost ridiculously cheap it
would not be possible for the caterers
to'supply the great show Of delicacies
and dessert which are exhibited on the
buffets for so little payment, if they
were real.
They provide. therefore, q certain
amount Of real food--poultry and
game-and judiciously place dishes of
dummy food among the real. to give
the impression of prodigal display.
The walters alone know exactly
what they may safely attempt to
carve, and what 10 leave alone; and
the most ohservant guest would have
difficulty in distinguishing the real
from the counterfeit.
Nothing is more deceptive than the
fruit at some functions. What are
those luscious dollhouse peaches with
such a perfect bloom on the dishes?
A bite into one of them would bring
cruel disillusion.
Around, perhaps, are arranged real
bananas, apples and cheap grapes. but
the big black dollhouse grapes are also
frauds.
The caterer cannot help himself His
supporters love a show, hence he must
provide it as cheaply as possible.
