Dean Ramsay CT r not countenance profanity, but h, managed to tell some good stories of weakness which af. flicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol had invited 8 well-known character writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction Cf some business.

Elapplness and Luxury.

I believe that the popular Idea
 happiness Is to be able to live in lux. dry. have never tried 1t, but feel somehow that it would be irksome. There must be more zest in living the closer one gets to the rudiments or life. We hear women complain or aullness and see them searching through the days and years for some thing of real interest to fill their hearts and atone for the things of vbicb civilization has robbed them. The gentle village women whom knew in my childhood had no such anxieties.

young attorney for infringing on a pa
tent. The hostess of the White Horse
Tavern is in love with Seidler and had
reserved a room for him for the sum-
mer. Leopold, the head waiter has a
secret passion for the hostess and is
extremely jealous of young Seidler, so

insists on the old man taking another
room but he refuses to do this and

two friends at dinner. After Mr.. In
graham had helped them to roast
beef, he happened to glance at the
other end of the table, where his wife
sat, and observed to his horror that
the sugar bowl was the old one, with
both handles broken off, that usually
graced the dining room table on wash
days.
In vain he endeavored, by myster-
ious mods and winks, to direct Mrs.
Ingraham's attention to it. She eth
er did not see or would not see the
mutilated piece OF queensware, and
his patience gave way at last.

sharpness, "do you think we ought

company without ears on?"-Youth's

The senatorial primary atmos-
phere in Michigan has been mater
tally cleared up by two remarkably
clean cut statements addressed to
the Michigan Primary Defense lea
que by Senator Julius c. Burrows
and Congressman Charles f. Towns
! end-the two contenders for the Re-
publican nomination. Each state in
! language which is unequlvocal and
beyond all misunderstanding that they
want the next Michigan legislature to
stand by the result of the Republi-
can senatorial primary as shown by
the statewide result
Each declares that unless he leads
in the statewide total after the Re-
publican votes are counted on Sep
TENDER 6, he will no longer be a can
didate for senator.
If the friends of the candidates dis
play an equal measure OF strong good
citizenship, and honest Republicanism.
there will be no longer room to doubt
that the will Of the people as express
ed at the primaries, and as interpreted
by the statewide total vote, will be
accounted by the legislature and OBJ
served to the letter.
Candidates for the state legisla-
ture who have previously declared
their intention either of disregardng
the primary altogether, or of being
guided by the result in some home
constituency, cannot overlook the
splendid expressions from the two big
men who are striving for the next
Michigan senatorship. 1t should end
discussion on the subject. 1t should
be final. To all intents and purposes
so far as Mr.. Burrows and Mr..
Townsend are concerned-it is final.
This action OF the two candidates
for senator puts aside all possibility
OF mix-up and misunderstanding.
Before the statements were made the
possibility existed. This was proven
when Illinois tried a senatorial pri-
mary and when the will OF the people
was entirely checkmated because there
was no advance agreement on how the
primary should be interpreted
whether by the result In the whole
state or by the result I'm individual
districts. There is now no such
chance in Michigan.
Mr.. Townsend and Mr.. Burrows are
entitled to the widest and fullest com
mendation for making this result pos
sible.
