S1VeetheaYt or Wife?

A TOURIST in Brittany came
to Quimper, and he found in
the place beside the river an
old woman selling trinkets.
What is the price of this ?" he
asked, taking up an antique ring
of silver and sapphires. rs it
for your wife or your sweet
heart?" said the old woman.
For my sweetheart" Fifty
francs" Fifty francs! Non
sense !" And the tourist turned
angrily away. Come back !"
said the old woman. Take it
for ten. You've been lying to
me, though. You have no
sweetheart. Had the ring been
for her you'd have bought it at
once without regard to its
price" 81 will take it." said
the tourist, smiling; there are
the ten francs" So the woman
wrapped the ring up. "But you
haven't wife, either" she
grumbled. eff it had been for
her you'd have beaten me down
to FIVE francs. Oh, you men! !"

One Reason

THERE may be two reasons
for a thing, both equally true,
and it may be the height of folly
to attribute the effect to both.
A gentleman to whom art was
a strange thing asked a friend,
to whom the ways of its votaries
were more familiar:
"Why does Conneray stand
off and half-shut his eyes when
he looks at the pictures he is
painting? l was in his studio
the other day, and he made me
do it, too"
That's simply explained" re-
