Plaid and Tartan.

VIII the southron ever learn that
"plaid" is not a synonym for "tartani"
Not long ago an Englishman came into
a hosiers establishment in Glasgow
and asked a man behind the counter
TO show him some plaid ties" The
attendant perhaps wondering what
this new and weird article of wear
ing apparel could be, was completely
bafied until explanation elected the
fact that a necktie with a. tartan de-
sign was required. Dickens, too. is a
sinner in this respect, for he makes
Bob Sawyer say with regard to wheth
er his political proclivities are buff
or "bluep-'I'm a kind OF plaid at
present, a compound Of all sorts Of
colors." Moreover. an English die
tionary gives an adjectival meaning
OF plaid" as "colored in squares.
I've never heard such use in Scotland

Nssdsd an Exclamation.

A little boy was often whipped by
his father for lying. He usually took
It as a matter of course. but on one oc-
casion it seemed to excite him TO re-
flection. After it was all over he stood
before his father in a thoughtful way,
which attracted that worthy's atton-
ton.

you thinking aboutF
Father" said the son. when you
was a little boy, did you use to tell
lies?"
'No. my son. When / was little

to tell lies?"
mo, my son." replied the father
''When your mother was a little girl
she did not tell lies. But why do you
ask me these questionsI"
"Well." said the little fellow. draw
ing a long sigh. "it is the most mys
terious thing in the world to me that
a father who never told lies when he
was a little boy and a mother who
never told lies when she was a little
girl could have a boy that tells a;

Ne couLpNr HOOK BACK.

Several times the teacher watched
him repeat the strange maneuver He
would lean toward the boy in the OPP
posite seat, always when the other was
not looking. then he would duck down
and stretch his hand swiftly toward
the other boys foot. Just as swiftly
the foot would be withdrawn, and its
indignant owner would glare at the
offender.
After the third unsuccessful attempt
the teacher called the restless one to
the desk Jacob, she demanded, not
mincing matters. care you trying TO
pinch Hermans leEs?"
Nom" said Jacob. I'm only try
ing to hook back"
Bit by bit the process Of hooking
back" was explained. He. Jacob, had
given two perfectly good alleys for a
penknife without any blades, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. Presently IL had
downed on him with amazing bitter
ness that his was the worse end of
the bargain. Herman. being his ply
sical superior, there was but one way
TO recover the alleys. If he could touch
I a piece of black wearing apparel on
/ the person of his opponent, saying at
/ the same time. 81 touched black, hook
back" then, according TO the code
which both respected. Jacob would be
compelled to return the alleys.
At last accounts the only black
thing with which Jacob was i'm touch
was the outlook, for as Herman left
the building he was heard 10 remark
"And I'm goin' to wear a brown suit
and white soclxs all next week. 50

LIKE SHEEP.

Out in Wyoming a big hoek Of sheep
was grazing ON mountain side near
deep canyon. The herder was TAX
ing a nap.
Tempted by the grass below, ven
turesome wether jumped down to
ledge on the side Of the canyon. The
ledge would not hold more than half
dozen sheep.
sheeplike, another made the jump
and then another.
And. sheeplike. those in the rear
crowded those in front. and those In
front jumped because the others jump
ed.
In few minutes almost the entire
flock had gone over. There was
bruised, bloody mass at the bottom Of
the canyon.
That is the way OF sheep.
And there is a sheep quality in hu.
man nature which tends TO a like fol
lowing OF leadership, impulsively and
without question
You can see it In operation in poll
tics. in religion, in business. in society.
The politician Is especially expert In
using the sheep disposition. He has
way Of getting the representative men
OF the community, "the btIwethers,'
and the crowd obediently troops behind
/ its leaders.
A man Is accused OF a crime. a
crowd surrounds him. Some one cries
out. Lynch him." Innocent or guilty
the man rs in Imminent danger because
the mob spirit has been evoked.

The village gossip uses n like meth.

rumor or enlarges one. In its journey
it grows into SANDER by affirmation

In the outcome some ones reputa-
ton is ruined.
The milliners and tailors OF Paris
and New York know how to use the
sheeplike disposition Of the human
mind FOR profit. They set the styles,
start out the leaders. and, sheeplike,
the people follow and buy.
