The Old Royal Palace Is Now an Art
Gallery and Museum.
Versailles is about twelve miles from
Paris. but all the intervening country
is built up, and it seems almost as if a
distant part of the city.
Here was one of the great royal pal
aces much frequented by the kings and
especially by Louis XIV. and all those
who came after him. It's gardens and
forests are beautiful, and the old pal
ace is now kept as an art gallery and
museum and filed with pictures and
statues, much of the old furniture for
merly used by the royal occupants re-
naming as when they used it. Some
of the most dramatic events of the
revolution occurred here. The entire
property belongs to and is cared for
by the government of France and is
open to the public without fees.
Twenty-Five miles north Of Paris is
Chantilly. the ancestral home of the
Prince de Conde. the great Conde,
which in olden times We'd with the

The Game Of Cricket.

Cricket dates from the reign of
Queen Elizabeth and had its origin in
FOUNDERS and stool ball. Lord Chester
field was the first man of weight to
take it up seriously and Eton the first
public school. In those days scores
were notched upon tally sticks, the
ball had heavy cross seams, the bats
were curved, and the federS stood al
most in Indian file. The early laws of
the game had their inception at the
Star and Garter inn, Pail Mall, and
one of the few of these original laws
which obtain today is that Of the
tossup. The wickets were twenty-five
inches high and the ball six inches in
length. The first county match was
when Kent played England in I'LL,
and on this occasion vast sums Of
money changed hands.

He BROKE A SPRING.
And the Owner of the Wagon Was
Grateful For tho Truth.


In small southern Indiana town is
liveryman who has ideas of his own
about conducting his business.
Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to set over
ground in hurry, had one of old
neighboring town. Part OF the way
was over q corduroy road. The drum
mers business detained him longer
than he expected, and when he finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at lively pace. Final
ly, when he struck the corduroy road,
he felt something snap and knew that
he had broken Il spring on the buggy.
He saws visions of having to make
the damage good to old Henry. When
he reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
Henry. l broke spring. How
much do 1 owe you?"
How did you break 1t, Gus?" asked
the liveryman.
Driving like the dickens over a
rough road" the drummer answered
frankly.
"Then you don't owe me anything"
"Why, how's that"'
WELL that's the first time l ever had
a spring broke that way. It's a new
way o. breakin' them. All | ever had
broke before was broke drivin' easy

Troubles Due to Legacy.

We have never known any good to
come of legacy. Henry got $500 in
the mail one day, and his troubles be-
gan on the spot. He bought horse.
The horse kicked one of the children
and ran away, breaking up an eighty
dollar buggy. Henry sold the animal
for half what he had paid for it and
bought him an amber stemmed pipe
and a gasoline route with the remains
Of his fortune. The first day out he
bit the stem of his pipe in two, the
falling sparks set the gasoline afire.
and the wagon was entirely consumed.
To comfort himself Henry got drunk.
and that night he fell off the bridge
into the creek. running his best suit
of clothes. When the legacy got
through with him he was $33 in the
hoe.-Newark News.

Let's of Ways In Which It Can Be
Made to Amuse Its Owner.
Having a stop watch" says the
man who has just bought one. reveals
q whole lot of ways of amusing your
self that you'd hardly think of before.
since I've had a watch I've been
able to while away a lot Of time-not
a pun, either. For instance, walking
in the city where the numbered blocks
make calculating easy, / am continual
ly holding the watch on my pedestrian
efforts.
II figure first how long it takes me
to walk block. Going at top speed
so that some folks think I'm mad, l
have been able to do lightweight yards
in twenty-nine and .two-fifth seconds,
or about seven miles an hour.
Then, of course, l time all interme-
diate distances up to mile. I've
learned pretty well just what four
miles an hour means, and l want to
tell you that folks who speak so glibly
about doing that ought to hold watch
OH their performances to see what it
means.
THE other day got up few sprint
races between some boys just so
could time their running. find
there's lot Of fun. too, in making
imaginary bets with myself how long
it will take me to catch up with some
one else walking in the same direc-
tiOn or how long it will be before q
car gets to certain crossing.
also a stop watch is a great thing
for timing how long you can hold your

most effective Of war time speakers.
Every occasion illustrated his elO-
Quence and demonstrated the quick
ness Of his repartee. At one meeting
he was frequently interrupted by a
blackguard at the rear of the hail. who
kept shouting, why don't you go
yourself?" For a time Mr.. Chandler's
deafness prevented him from catching
the exact nature of the interruption,
of which he had been for some time
conscious. At last Mr.. Chandler
caught the words of the disturber.
Then, in the mildest accents, which
emphasized the force Of the words, he
said, Young man, If my ears were as
good as yours and as long as yours l
shouldn't be here tonight!'

The former was followed ut the lower
end and smeared with wax to receive a
piece of cotton or tinder. which when
pressed into it adhered. The tube was
closed at one end. Placing the piston
at the top of the tube. with smart
blow he struck it down and imme

In the making over of an old house,
as also in building a new one, it is al
ways a good plan to have the door
ways in the rooms on the first floor
made unusually wide, almost as large
as the rooms themselves, for in this
way a greater sense Of space and airi-
ness is given even when the house is
not large Portieres may be hung in
these roomy doorways to keep away
drafts and to give a certain privacy,
but in warm summer days and also
when entertaining large number of
persons the portieres may be drawn
back and almost the entire ground
floor thus transformed into one large
