NOT MUCH TROUBLE TO WRITE
Some Proper Names That at Least
Have the Distinguishing Merit
Of Novelty.

In the Zuyder Zee there Is a bay
called Y, and Amsterdam has a river
Y, while, strange to say, in quite an
other part Of the earth, in China, the
same brief name is given to town.
Elsewhere in the fowery kingdom.
in the province of Honan. there is a
city called Z, and in France there is
river and in Sweden town reioic-
ing in the name of A.
Proper names of this brief nature
are not, however, mOnOpolized by
places; instances are on record where
individuals have been similarly named.
Some years ago there was shop kept
on the Rue de Louvan, Brussels. by
Theresa 0, and there is a Nine. O in
Paris, who is well-known as the pro.
prietor of a popular cafe.
An amusing incident is recounted in
connection with the impressment into
the military service of the son Of one
of the members of the o family. The
young man could not write. and so
signed his name on the military pa
pers with a cross, it not occurring to
him or to any of the officials how
easily he could have written his name.

REALLY NO PUZZLE AT ALL.
Erudite Editor Arises to Explain Why
Women Descend From Street
Cars the Wrong Way.

at makes us tired wrote the editor
of the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
when we see some city newspaper
wondering why it is that a woman al
ways gets off a street car the wrong
way. There amt no mystery about it
at all. Our wife explained it to us
years ago, and she never rode on
street car but once in her life, when
she was visiting relations in Kansas
City. A woman gets off street car
backward because she naturally grabs
her skirts with her left hand That's
constitutional with a woman Then
she has to grab something with her
right hand TO hold on 10, and that's
the railing at the rear end of the car,
so when she steps off she has to face
the wrong way. You can't break
women of that habit unless you make
them get off on the left side of the
street car, and if you did that it's just
as likely as not they'd be contrary
enough to grab their skirts with their
right hands But there amt nothing
strange about the way they get Off
now. Blamed if we don't think some
times that some of the stupidest men
in the world is working on the big
city papers. Chicago Tribune.

May Cure Snoring, Too.

"Tve found a cure for nightmare,
said the man who will eat despite his
subsequent sufferings when | go
to bed at night | slip a string through
an empty spool, secure the spool
firmly so it will not slide, and then
tie the string around my waist in such
a way that the spool comes in the
middle of my back. The result is
that if | try to turn on my back In
my sleep l lie on the spool, and I
can assure you IL wakens me
promptly.
mo. it isn't pleasant to be wakened
in that way, but it is better than hav-
ing to go through one of the diabol-
ical nightmares from which l have
suffered for several years"

PREMATURE AGE NOT NORMAL
Mankind, Not Nature, TO Blame for
lnfirmites that Tend to
Shorten Life.

II is not a crime to grow old if you
do so naturally and gracefully. In
fact it is most creditable, and highly
honorable.
However. it is a crime TO grow old
beyond your years. To do so you
must abuse and mistreat yourself. Ma
ture never intended that any one
should grow old prematurely, but to
mature and ripen normally. and re-
tain the natural senses and tastes un-
til the machine finally runs down and
stops.
Infirmity is never sent upon any
one, but every one who ages prema-
turely, or grows infrm must take the
blame to himself. Infrmity, which is
physical weakness, is invited, en-
ouraged and maintained, and it
comes not except in answer to dis
tinct and oft-repeat9d invitations.
1t is true that with centuries of i'll
breeding, with selfish culture and
wrong living, it is but natural that
there should be many physical and
moral detectives, but the tendency is
so strong toward the normal that it
does not take long to get back to the
right way
This tendency to the normal is we'll
marked and quite noticeable in all
the kingdoms Of nature
The daisy is beaten down by the
storm, but how quickly it RECEIVERS!

by clod, but when the hinderance is
removed it soon Strengthens up. The
twig may be bent and finally grow
into unnatural form, but it's branches
point upright and their fruit is good

NOT YET READY FOR COFFIN.
He Was Not Dead Comparatively
Easy to Believe.

On a recent jury day in the First
district court stolid-looking German
presented to Justice Joseph a certii-
cate from the commissioner of jurors.
After a rapid glance at the document
the justice ordered the man TO raise
his right hand and administered the
oath.
Your name is Herman Kaufman?"
Yes, your honor"
This paper" continued the court,
requests me to excuse Herman Kauf-
man from jury duty on the ground
that he is dead. Now, remember that
you have sworn to tell the truth, and
think we'll before you answer Are
you dead?'
Moo, your honor" was the Devil
dered reply Il don't think l am"
You claim that you are alive?"
Yes, your honor"
THAT will do. Now take this paper
back TO the commissioner of jurors -

missioner examined the certificate ii

dead Please investigate. and, if his
testimony be false, have him indicted

ordered - MUzzIe Rooster

In Mount Vernon, one of the SUBJ
urbs north of New York man was
arrested the other day because his
rooster had disturbed his neighbors
by growing at the break of day. AL
though there is no ordinance in the
village which prohibits the keeping of
chickens on a mans premises, the
owner of the aforesaid rooster was
found guilty of maintaining a nuis-
ance and warned to keep his rooster
from growing early in the morning
like ether ROSTERS in less sensitive
neighborhoods. Now the amateur
chicken raiser has the choice between
muzzling his rooster or exchanging
him for one of "crowlsss" brand.

Those Frail Boats.

Long Island coast that | read the

yachtsman, Il was panied to notice
in one paper that the crew left the
schooner in a 'frail boat the said
craft being properly described in the
Press as the ships long boat. know
that is the conventional phrase to de-
scribe a vessels small boat, but as |
read it | wondered if the 'frail boat
writer ever had seen one of those
ponderous fabrics of oak called the
ships long boat? Or if he ever had
tried to haul a 14-foot yawl off a
beach after il had been left high and
dry by the tide? Such a job on a
hot July day probably would cure him
forever describing even such a boat
as frail."

IN DEFENSE OF THE PlLL0RY
English Writer Shows Some Good
POINTS About This OId-Time
Form of Punishment.

Perhaps one of the few really demo

certainly more humane than our sys-

ing humane has nothing 20 do with
being democratic. You may have hui

as you may have humane and inhu-
name despots
The point is that the pillory was

cruel, it was because the people were

Sometimes they did. The argument
about the old public punishments cuts
both ways. The publicity was an ad
ditional risk for the government as
well as an additional risk for the pris-
oner, and this is specially true of the
executions for treason. 1t was no
small thing that half a million men
might possibly treat as a martyr a

murderer; that the prince had to con-

Clothes.

There are promotions in life, which,
Independent of the more substantial
rewards they offer acquire peculiar
value and dignity from the coats and
waistcoats connected with them. A
field marshal has his uniform; a
bishop his silk apron; a counsellor his
silk gown a beadle his cooked hat.
Strip the bishop of his apron, or the
beadle of his hat and lace, what are
they? Men, mere men. Dignity, and
even holiness, too, sometimes, are
more questions of coat and waistcoat
than some people imagine.-Charles
