PASSING OF AN OLD FRIEND
Ubiquitous Roller Towel Will Be
Missed, Though II May Not Be
Greatly Mourned.

They have cut their whiskers out
in Kansas and put colytic shower
baths into their houses, they have
ceased wearing their boots to bed and
have made the public drinking cup
a felon, but still their passion for mil
liant bacteriology remains insatiate.
Its latest victim is the roller towel
that dropping but romantic relic Of
simpler days and braver men. Kan
sas calls the roller towel pathogenic,
and sees in it's mysterious folds the
Garden of Eden of all germs. 1t is the
father and mother, says Kansas, of &C.
zema, ophthalmia and dandruff. 1t
abrades and inoculates the human
hide. 1t spreads pestilences and of.
tends the eye. 1t is immoral, and, be-
ing immoral, Kansas has made 1t IL
legal.
A triumph for asepsis, but Water
loo for romance! Who will forget
the noble uses of the roller towel in
other and happier years? 1t was an
essential ornament, an integral part,
of all ancient inns, taverns and or
dinaries; it adorned all old-time print
ing Offices; it was known and loved
by judges, juries and learned counsel
in country towns. The passing strang-
er employed 1t to remove the clay of
travel from his boots, the dust of the
road from his face; 1t had it's regular
customers, it's loving clients, it's de-
votees. That was before the day of
shoe shining parlors. Turkish baths
and other such degenerating luxuries.
The roller towel served all purifying
purposes. 1t was the one cleansing
angel of frowsy world.
Eugene Field and Bill Nye were full
of anecdotes of famous roller towels.
Field used to tell of one in printing
iwth ink and silicates that 1t gave out
musical note. Nye claimed for one
that he loved that it had been used
by a printer of his acquaintance to
stab a copy chopper. Mark Twain,
in his palmy days, had similar tales
to tell.
But enough of all that. The roller
towel is done for. Printers now mop
their brows with aseptic gauze; even
lawyers fear bacteria. In few years.
perhaps, the roller towel will be a
rare thing, a curious antique, to be
gaped at by loafers and honeymoon
ers in museums. People will speak
Of it as they speak to-day of the rab-
bit foot, camomile tea, the pulse
warmer, medicated lingerie, the hair
cloth sofa, populism and all the 9TH
er dear things that were but are not

Helpinu the Minister.

A Scotch preacher had in his con.
gregation an old woman who was
deaf. In order to hear the sermon
each Sunday. this old lady would seat
herself at the foot of the pulpit stairs.
One day the sermon was about Jonah.
and the preacher became very rhetor-
ical.
"And when the sailors threw Jonah

lowed him up. Was it shark that

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one Of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
A good many people we're surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but If the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
liness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. 55

Uncxpected Recommendation

One day, when Lord Thurlow was
very busy at his house in Ormond
street, a poor curate applied to him
for living, then vacant.

ing brow. Don't you see I am busy
and can't listen to you?-what duke or
lord recommended you?"
The poor curate lifted up his eyes
and, with detection, said he had no
lord to recommend him but the Lord
of Hosts.

chancellor, "the Lord of Hosts!-I he.

Some Luxurles Needed.

Those stern economists who are
pointing out that the people of small
means ought to abandon ''luxuries,"
forget that even such people have a
moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life. The rapid

but forgetting the modest recreations
which have frightened for them the
dull round of daily labor. 1t would

could obtain just enough to keep body

most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-

tralization permits it to dispense with
navy, while the Belgian army is

fewer who count their wealth in seven fig
