Keeping His Place Warm.
Once there was a Ounce.
The name of this Ounce was Waite
Scott, and when he was at school hi
was such a dull boy hat his teache,
called him "the great b%lockhead," &C
cording to the Philadelphia Record.
But Walter Scott did not cry and he
always tried to do his best. and after
ward. When he grew up to be a man.
he became famous all the world yer
because Of the great books which he
wrote. And because he was so famous
he was made a knight. and afterward
he was known as Sir Walter Scott.
And yet he was such a Ounce At
school!
One day, when he had become a ia
nous man, Sir Walter Scott went on
a visit to the very same school where
he had been called the great block

He talked to the teacher and to the
boys, and then he said: You nave

me the Ounce. You have one, haven't

The teacher. therefore. called up Z
poor little boy. who was very bashful
at being brought before such a famoW
man as Sir Walter Scott.
Sir Walter smiled cheerily at the lit

Ounce, are you?"
Eyes, sir" said the little boy.
Sir Walter patted him kindly on the
head, and said, well, my good fellow,
I was tho Ounce when I vas here, SO
here is half a crown for keeping my
place warm!"
I rather think that every boy In the
| school must have wished he was the
Ounce then!

Only One Way He Could Get Even

Only One Way He Could Get Even.
Frank Bertram, a well-known actor.
tells the following story:
Il was playing at Leicester during
the fair week n in the market place
there were several mtrry-go-rounds.
Il noticed one melancholy individ-
ual. who, despite the fact that he was
apparently suffering greatly, persisted
In riding on one of the merry 60
rounds.
Eventually I spoke to him and
asked him IL he liked 1t.
THE man replied, No, I don't like
it a bit; the blessed thing makes me
H.
81 then asked him why he persisted
in riding, and his reply was, Il can't
help it. The man who owns this
roundabout owes me money, and the
only way I can get even is by taking
it out in rides.'-London Daily Tele-

suggested It's coinage that the 2O-cent piece would come
in handy. 1t proved to be a nuisance because 1T was
SO near the size of the quarter dollar. 1t did not help
materially in making change. So it did not last many
years. The silver half dime was abandoned because too
small. The 3cent piece in silver or nickel had a long
life, but was discarded finally. So was the 2-cent piece.
II was agreed that there was no need Of a coin between
the cent and the scent piece.
Now it is proposed to get rid Of the 81 bill for a sim
liar reason. The only DIRECTORS thus far are the bank
tellers. They say 1t saves them time in handling money
when there is a good deal to be handled. OF course it
takes only half as long to run through a hundred dol
lars in twos as when 1t is made up of ones. But the
bank tellers are not the only persons to be considered.
There are notes for their special SIS, 900
and $40, 900 bills, which the common people never own
and seldom see. The men who handle money on a
small scale-the petty dealers, for instance-would be
clad to see the 81 bill disappear. They consider it some
what of a nuisance.

more than a thousand lectures upon the beauty Of law

It Is often said that 1t is much easier to enforce q

than in this country, because the people Of the older
countries respect the law more. 1t would be more

that he is punished, and punished promptly. Punish

k-m~-A with reference TO eating habits has become
K&rl{E4S9 more widespread and more persistent than
GSfinGyI93 that it is injurious to drink water at
meals. The old medical rule against eat
ing before going to bed has been discountenanced by
the medical profession itself for a long time now, and
1t has been repeatedly shown that a reasonable amount
of food taken before retiring is beneficial to many nerv-
Gus people, and is not infTequently a cure for insomnia.
The rule against drinking at meals has been more
persistent, but it appears TO be doomed. now that the
profesy ors in the physiological chemistry department Of
the University of Illinois have set about making eXper-
iments to prove the digestive value Of CoDiOus drafts
of water taken while eating. One quart Of water at
each meal was the prescription followed, and it was
found that the subject actually throve on it. The theory
is that the water, Giluting the saliva, causes the di-
gestive fluid to assume greater digestive activity

They are made with white back

THE TILT OF THE HAT.

longer the Interrogation OF the eter-
nal feminine-for now the tilt is the
thing.
The hats are worn far down on the
head; they droop at the right, and
the proper tilt over that eye is the
delicate question.
There is danger of a ridiculous
extreme in this tilt. and there is the
possibility of a most fetching pi-
quancy
A hat must be placed upon the
head before the mirror and expert

one can wear the tilted brim with

The kidney secretions were unnatur-

same time dainty with their narrow
white borders and tiny Initials work
ed in white in the corner. and the
feminine world is taking to them
most kindly.
There are broad bands OF an inch
Of color ornamentlng some: often
these bands have three-leaf cIovers or
dragon flies in white to break the
straight color line; there are dainty
ones almost covered with butterflies
in lavender or blue or pink. as the
case may be. and others have coIored
lines strapping the handkerchief
from border to border.
Perhaps the prettiest are embroid-
cred with sprays of flowers In con-
trasting colors, while those with cen
tiers Of solid colors and edges banded
with white are most effective. In plain
white there is the usual demand for
hemstitched edges with the initials;
sometimes in color, each initial of
different color or oftener in white.
For mourning there are styles OFFER
ed that are new but decidedly ex-
IRENE, and consequently In question
able taste. White and black give
always great contrast, and some OF
the spring importations, which should
be noted as warning. seem to en-
body decoration as blatanaly as any
colored square could possibly do.
When large squares are not used in
equal distances around the edges,
long, wavy lines OF varying widths
are interpreted with beautifully en-
broidered sprays in white, which ac-
centuate rather than soften the pat
tern. Borders of varying widths or
nament some. while several different
styles in zigzag design offend the eye
most woefully They are not correct
mourning. they are not good taste.
but they make remarkable showing,
and we shall probably see some mis-
guided women wearing them.
After all, there is refinement in
the plain white kerchief that holds
its own through all seasons. There
can be sufficient decorations in the
delicate white sprays, dots. squares in
white, and the fact that one handker-
chief can be worn with any dress
should commend the plain. white
square to practical women.

Then there is the Oregon trail which in

No matter how faithfully historians strive
for accuracy, there is always danger OF
discrepancy as to details which of them
selves may appear minor, but which with
the flight of time take on expanded sig
niflcance. 1t was less difficult task ten
years ago to establish disputed points In
history than it is today, and by the same
token it Is easier today than it will be
ten years hence Therefore before all of
the old timers have passed away, while at
least some OF the early day argonauts are
still here to help sift fact from fiction
and fiction is never wanted in history--it
is we'll to carry forward the old trails
