said Jinx, as he stopped to kiss his
wife good-by before starting for his
Office last Monday morning.
So far as Jinx' remark went 1t
landed properly, but as Mrs. Jinx at
the moment of the aiming of the kiss
took a sudden notion to turn and as
certain IL it was possible to see her
self in the mantel mirror across the
hall, the kiss drew a moist line across
her starboard cheek, lodged beneath
her ear, and exploded innocuously in
her back hair.
"And what In the world is Bill
ken?" queried she, turning in a light
ming effort to catch the already un-
puckered pucker of Jinx lips.
You don't mean to say that you
don't know what Billiken Isl A

AS Jinx took backward step back

AS he, marched into the house to re-
make his toilet Mrs. Jinx was tactful
enough to refrain from all remarks.
Il must get a Billiken or take out
some accident insurance." gritted he
when once more on his way. with
a Billlken on my desk this morning
would have been an altogether differ
ent affair"
As Jinx slipped into his office coat
and approached his chair he stopped
at the sight of an impish little figure
perched by the side of the letter tray.
who put that Billiken there?" he
demanded.
mister Dingbustit, where your wife
trades, sent 1t to you with his com
pliments Saturday after you went
home" explained the office boy.
"And it has been on my desk since
Saturday,"
"Yes, sir"
Carefully Jinx lifted the Billiken be-
tween the thumb and forefinger OF his
right hand, tiptoed TO the window and
dropped it on a mohentum gathering
night of II stories to the sidewalk
below; then turning to retrace his
steps he fell over the wastepaper bas-
ket, knocked a hundred-dollar type
writer from its spider-legged' desk to
the floor.
As the wreckage was being restored
to order the elevator boy left his cage
long enough to run across the hall and
inform Jinx that a concealed assassin
had hurled a Billiken at his, Jinx',
partner as he was about to enter the
building, and had hurt him SO badly
that he would probably be laid up for
a week.
Jinx looked at the gazelle-eyed
stenographer for a moment, con-
sidered the youth and purity OF the
Office boy, clinched and unclinched his
hands. and said: "oh, fudge!"

TREATED As A GOOD FRIEND.
Intimate Association Between the Arab
and His Horse.


II is most interesting to note the
way the Arab treats his faithful
friends So Injured, indeed, is the
Arab pony by long usage and descent
to the manner of life in the desert
that even my own pony positively i'm.
proved on the treatment and l never
saw him so fit as when he came back
from the trip.
II the Arab and his horse are by
legend closely allied, they are in
point of fact even more intimately
connected. His mount is his first
thought, and at all times by far the
most interesting topic of conversation.
He is ungrpomed. unclipped, unhal
tered. for the Arab prefers to shackle
him by means of two ropes, a short
cord connecting the fore and hind fet.
locks and a long line lettering him
above the hind fetlock to a peg in the
ground. Thus he can move about OF
roll at leisure, and should there be
any rough herbage at hand can for.
age for it. Perhaps one of the princi.
pal reasons why the Arab so excels at
long journeys is that the never worries
himself nor does he ever distress his
mount unless there is real cause to
do so. He simply continues a steady
walk all day and hardly ever gallops

shed to the imposing palace which now stands on Richmond Hill.
 Proximity to London-the Star and Garter is only eight miles away, and the drive runs through Richmond park-has always been one of the at fractions of this Richmond hostelry. Second only, in fact, to its unrivaled situation has been it's accessibility. But the motor habit, it may be assumed has not helped it in these recent years. A drive to Richmond by coach or carria ge represented just a sufficient distance for comfort and convenience. Today the motor car takes people further afield, doubtless to the gain of hostel ries much more remote from town. But whatever the changes of locomotion or of fashion, the Star and Garter, with its command of one of the most ad- mired landscapes in England and it's position on the very verge of one of the most beautiful of the royal parks, boasts assets of which any passing phase of public fancy should be pow erless to deprive it. At any rate, the folks who bid for, paid for and carried away yesterday that which heretofore had formed part of the equipment of this suburban Mecca, were in no sense laboring under the impression that they had acquired relics from forgotten shrine. What they rolled away down the hill was to them just old-tine fur niture, and nothing more.

A Puzzle for Cupid.

From the Ladies Home Journal
 A young man named Jamie had been calling quite often where there were two sisters of nearly the same age II was a sort of joke to the girls as to which was the attraction, as he invarl- ably asked for both and divided his at tentions impartially. One evening when he called only one of the girls was at home-by 'arrangement-but, as usual, he asked her to sing, as they were all fond of music. In a spirit of mischief she sang: Take Me. Jamie, Dear.,' which left him rather breathless, but smiling. A little later the other sister came in. bright and bewitching. and upon being requested to sing she sat down at the piano willingly and sang: If Jamie Asks Me to Marry Him, What Shall l Say?'

Tall Men In Contest.
.ba St Paul Djsnatch

From the St. Paul Dispatch
 A singular rivalry has arisen between two Montana towns as to which possesses the tallest family.
 Libby, in Flathead county, professes to have more tall people than any town of it's size on the continent Ten members of one family have combined height of almost 60 feet. The father weighs 215 pounds and is 6 feet 21s inches tall The mother weighs 225 pounds and is , feet inches tall. The first son, feet 21a inches tall, age 21 years; second son. feet inches, age 19 years The head of this proud family is Herman BoclSman.
 Red Lodge calls attention to the fact that in that city four members of one family are taller than any four members of the Bockman family. w. A. Talmage is feet AZ inches tall; Earl Talmage, age IS years, is 6 feet inches tall; FL mer Talmage, age 19 years. 6 feet "A inches tall, and Nathan. the youngest, who is only 12 years of age. measures feet inches. Then the average height of the father and three sons will unques- tionably compare with that of any other family in the entire country.

STAR AND GARTER INN.
Famous English Hostelry Ruined By
 the Motor Car.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
 Bucks and dandies were as much at home on Richmond Hill as in Piccadilly or St James street, while actresses re- garded dinner at the Star and Garter as a votive offering of infinite recom- mendation. Even maiden aunts, conscious though they may have been that they were perhaps not doing quite the correct thing in taking their nieces to dine at the Star and Garter, were yet disposed to congratulate themselves on their cour- age. They could at least plead that the place was under very distinguished pat ronage. The directors of the Bank of England. for example, made it their habit to dine there, and no more staid or solemn people could be wished for. Some of the great city companies, also, have been known to give the go-by to their own chefs and their own cellars and to drive down to Richmond to enjoy it's views, and to sample some of the noted brands for which the hotel vaults were held in re- pute. Above all, perhaps, the Sunday dinners were the thing. On one Sunday in July, 1851, no fewer than 560 dinners were served at the Star and Garter. This, of course, would be about the time of the great exhibition. but the average number of Sunday dinners at this period was as high as 320.
 In it's latter days the Star and Garter has prODaDly not been aDle to SuStalH these statistics, and this although in 1864 the house came under the control of the limited liability company, which proceeded to erect a costly ex tension, parkwards, with a stately dining room to connect the two build ings. Some six years later the older part of the hotel was destroyed by fire, but a spacious pavilion, ballroom, and banqueting hall rose up three or four years later, the extension building be- ing thenceforth reserved for residents. The extension itself was, however, de- stroyed by fire in 1888, and from it's ashes there sprang up in the following year the present handsome pile of buildings. It took. in short, just 150 years to effect the transformation from what was little more than a wooden
