How He Kept His Bed

The Rev. Daniel Isaacs once al1ght-
ed at an inn to stay the night. On
asking for a bed he was told he could
not have one, as there was to be a ball
that evening and all the beds were
engaged.
AT what time does the bah break
up?" asked Mr.. Isaacs.
About 8 in the morning, sir"
"Well, then, can I have a bed until
that time?"
Eyes, certainly; but If the bed is
asked for you will have to remove"
VERY WE'LL" replied Mr.. Isaacs
and away he went to get between the
sheets.
About 3 o'clock in the morning he
was awakened by loud knocking al
his chamber door.
What do you want?" he asked.
How many are there Of you in
there?" inquired a voice.
There's me, and Daniel and Mr.
Isaacs and an old Methodist preach.
En-" was the reply.
Then, there's plenty of you" An6
the speaker passed On, leaving Mr.
Isaacs to enjoy his bed.-Clevelan6

St. Pierre Still Desolate.

There is absolutely no truth in
the report printed recently in a num-
Der of American newspapers that St.
Pierre, Martinique, is being rebuilt"
said Chester w. Martin, Of the Ameri-
can consular service, stationed at
Bridgetown, Barbados, to the Wash
lngton Herald. IA
II visited St. Pierre not long ago."
said Mr.. Martin, land the only houses
that 1 saw there were two houses
which were put up by the French
Government and are used by the gen.
darmes. The French Government has
cleared up and excavated the scene of
desolation and laid bare the streets,
but there is no intention of rebuilding
so far as I am aware"

over lace or jetted net would be ap-
propriate, for the simpler one tucked
silk is always pretty.
The blouse is made over a fitted
lining, and consists of fronts, backs
and chemisette portions. The fronts
and backs are tucked becomingly and
the waist is closed invisibly at the
back. When the fancy sleeves are
used they are arranged over Innings.
The plain ones can be finished in any
way that may suit the fancy.

Railroad Pronunciation.

A conductor and a brakeman on a
Montana railroad differ as to the
proper pronunciation Of the name
Eurella. Passengers are often startled
upon arrival at this station to hear
the conductor yell: you're a liar!
You're a liar!" And then from the
brakeman at the other end of the
car: "You really are! You really
are!"-San Francisco Argonaut.

New Dinner Gowns.

,Jeweled girdles, suggesting medi-
eval modes, are in evidence. They
are six inches wide, made Of cloth of
silver or gold. They start over the
bust and are carried above the waist
line. Cabochon and colored stones
Of all sort are attached. If care be
shown in selecting the colors, these
girdles are very effective OF white and

Sailor Blouse Hint.

For a sailor blouse it is pretty to
introduce a little bit of gold. Those
which show the embroidery on one
arm, band on the other, and work on
the shield and stars on the collar of
pale blue are very attractive. Yellow
or white always makes a pretty sailor
suit. Pink is not, as a rule, so
effective, and green or violet is never
used. For a young girl nothing is
prettier than these sailor suits.

BLOW TO THE SOIL SURVEYS
WORK DECLARED TO BE OF LIT
TIE VALUE TO FARMERS.
Testimony of College Professors Be
fore the House Committee
on Agriculture.

A serious blow was given to the plan
for the continuation of soil surveys by
the Department OF Agriculture when the
executive committee of the Association of
American Agricultural Colleges and En-
pertinent Stations appeared yesterday be-
and testified that the work as now carried
on was of little value TO the farmer. This
aroused the southern members of the
committee. particularly Representatives
Lever OF South Carolina and Hefin of
Alabama.
Last year the southern members were
able to procure a continue ton of the ap-
preparation for soil surveys only after a
stubborn fight, and the testimony today is
regarded as adding to the task before
them this year.
Members of the executive committee
who criticised the present work of the
bureau of soils of the Department of Ag-
riculture were DR.. w. X. Jordan director
of the New York agricultural experiment
stations; DIR. II. c. White, professor of
chemistry of Athens, Ga; DIR. w. +.
