Keenino II Dry,

An old woman of wealthy New
Jersey family was going visiting. The
coachman, who had not been in this
country long, had just been equipped
with new uniform and new silk
hat. Before they had gone far it be-
gan to sprinkle, and the old woman
told the coachman to fasten down the
side curtains of the wagonette.
He drove up to a hitching post be-
side the road and, dismounting, hung
his new hat on the post, and began to
fasten the curtains. .=st
The old woman noticed his bare head
and asked him where his hat was.

A Bernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, who Is sup
posed to be something Of an artist as
we'll as an actress, was recently called
upon in one of her marvellous crea'
tions to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view OF
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap'
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks Of actors
and actresses; as matter OF fact, she
does nothing Of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over 1t is
placed damp clay of the same color
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled

terrors of the hight, a regular western

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT Of VIEW
She Makes No Complaint For the Ad-
versities That Come to Her
in This Life.

There is some recompense for a
yersity-it brings TO the surface what
ever supply of courage may be lying
dormant under the comfortable blank
ct of prosperity The nerest spark
can often be famed into respectable
fame. 1t takes courage to go through
life in the shadow of disgrace; to
leave a comfortable home and a host
Of friends for humble surroundings
and strangers; to carry Disagreement
and disappointment to the graye-and
give no outward sign of the struggle.
The great majority find 1t when it is
most needed, but the few who sink in
to oblivion or continually appeal for
pity are those in whom courage was
left out at creation.
Most of US accept what comes to US
in the spirit of deserving it, and make
no complaint. The few even repel
pity and sympathy like a crippled boy
whom | know. He was very young
when a blow upon the back rendered
the lower part of his body almost use
less. He had grown to manhood when
his mother told me that she had never
heard a complaint from his lips or \
wish that he was like other bows and
could do as they did.
She found him a great joy just for
his courage-had he been otherwise |
doubt If she would have been able to.
bear life for many years. As 1t was,
every taste of the boy was cultivated,
every wish was gratified, and if he
was selfish ii was forgiven because of
his unfailing cheerfulness. 1t is not
within the range of probability that
the boy never felt a touch Of impa-
tience at the fate which barred him
from the occupations of his brothers
he was not more than human - but
some gift of character kept him from
showing it to anybpdy.-Betty Braden

TO SHOW WEATHER SIGNALS
Bill Introduced Providing For Flags
on Mail Carriers Wagons
on Rural Routes.

Washington, June 15.-It is now pro
posed that farmers all over the coun-
try be given the benefit OF the
Weather Bureau predictions just as
the people in the cities get the fore
casts. Representative McHenry OF
Pennsylvania is the patron of the plan.
According 10 a bill which Mr.. Nc
Henry has introduced in the House
the rural free delivery wagons are 20
carry flag signals similar to the sig
nails hoisted on buildings aud else
where in the populous centers for the
weather.
In his bill the Pennsylvania pro
vides that "the rural deliveryman shall
carry a flag signal OF convenient and
suitable size, to be determined by the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
indicating the weather predictions as
reported by the United States Weather
Bureau for the period in advance OF
the current trip. 1t Is provided, how
ever. that the report OF the period
shall have been received in sufficien
time so as not to retard the departur
OF the mail on schedule time.
It will be necessary, under the plan
proposed for the Weather Bureau T.,
telegraph the weather prediction eaci
morning to each postofice in the coun
try which sends out rural mail deIiv
erymen. The mail man %thereupon
fixes to his wagon the flag indicating
the expected state Of the weather, and
, as he rides by, the farmers and others
along his route can know with
Weather Bureau certainty what the
/ weather will be for the next twenty
