OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A "KEEM

Quality Every Man Insists He PCS.

A sense Of humor Is somethinE

have no reverence. they will illtreat
their wives. outdo their neighbors-
VIII own up indeed to every crime in
the calendar, but not to being devoid
OF sense of humor.
And. moreover. the sense OF humor
belonging to every man Is invariably
keen" The most stolid. phlegmatic
person. who never gets near enough to
the point of Joke to throw his hat
upon it. will tell you. with tears in his
eyes. that he never would have been
able to live through all the things he
has lived through II it hadn't been for
his sense of humor.
The worst offender however, is the
one who makes a business of exploit
ing this universally assumed trait. He
takes you aside in kind of joyous
confidence.
Il couldn't begin to tell you" he de-
clares. "all the funny things I see.
don't know why it is"-this with an
air as If 1t were a heaven-sent gift,
which he. modestly. is in no sense re-
sponsible for-"but anything funny
real funny-appeals to me. II could
only remember to set them down. But
somehow l never think of 1t at the
time"
He then proceeds to tell you of an
incident that happened to himself
personally. You have heard the story

it. But you wouldn't let your friend

Why is 1t that a man, modest In

And you ought to see the poetry she

You don't wait. You love dear
Mabel-at distance. You sneak

heaves in sight you put your helm

BROOM THAT HOLDS THE DUST
Clever Arrangement by Which OIL 10
Distributed to the Straw
Fibers.

A new broom, which is said to be
dustless. has hollow handle designed
to be filed with kerosene. and the oil
saturating the broom corn has the eff.
fect of making the dust particles ad.
mere to 1t. instead OF floating through
space. The receptacle is filled from
the top. and light floor oil may be sub
stituted for coal oil where the latter
may be found preferable. The handle
is light steel tube with tight cap
on the top end and the oil is fed down.

idea OF a narrowing tale Of the pho
tographer hanging to the edge Of q
cliff or the top Of a tree. with the old
eagles clawing out pound chunks at
every swoop. Few eagles possess the
mad ferocity pictured and magnided
by sensational story tellere. When we
first scra mbled over powders Of the
canyon up toward the nest l saw the
old eagle slip quietly from her eggs
and skim out over the mountain top.
When strapped on the climbers to
ascend the tree l had one eye opened
for trouble. But each time we visited
the spot the parents silently disap-
peared and stayed away as long as We
cared to hold possession. They kept a
watchful eye. however. from the blue

TWO TRADE SECRETS.
One IL jealousy Guarded In China
the Other In Turkey.

One 10 Jealously Guarded In China,
the Other In Turkey.
There are two trade secrets" said
an artist, that the outside world, 1t
seems, will never learn. One il a Chi
nese secret-the making Of the bright
and beautiful color called vermilion or
Chinese red The other Is Turkish Sc
cret-the inlaying Of the hardest steel
with gold and silver.
Among the Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guarded
well. Apprentices. before they are TAX
en- for either trade, must swear q
strong oath to reveal nothing Of what
passes in the workshop. These appren-
tees, Furthermore, must belong to fam
lies Of sta nding, must pay 4 large sum
by way Of premium and must furnish
certificates Of good character and hon
esty.
You have seen damascened steel, Of
course. and you have seen vermilion
or Chinese red. Remember the next
time you look at these two things that
their secrets have been guarded invio-
lably and have been handed down
faithfully from one generation to an
other for thousands Of yearA-Chicago
