Her Usual Line Of Talk,

A certain Louisville social leader,
whom we will call Mrs. Fayette Coun
ty, to avoid identifying her, was told
by her husband over the telephone
that he would bring a number of
guests home to dinner. The party was
altogether unexpected, and in all the
house, which has become noted for the
generous and sumptuous dinners spread
In it, there was not enough food.
Mrs. County got busy at once and
instructed her cook to order certain
supplies while she planned the rest of
the dinner. A little later Mrs. County
happened in the room where the tele-
phone was and was Mortified to hear
the cook talking ferociously into the
telephone, something as follows:
can All want six dozen sof' shell

HAIR RAISING CONTEST.
q. A. r. Members In Germantown, Pa,
GROWING Whiskers For a Sword.

Growing Whiskers For a Sword.
BARRIERS in Germantown. Pa, are
melancholy, while dealers in a hair re-
storer are jubilant over a whisker
growing contest which has started
among the members of Ellis post, No.
6, G. A. r. The veteran having the
longest whiskers on Jan. / next will
be given a sword by N. X. Ployd.
Thirteen soldiers have entered the
contest, and, as they have been in bat
ties which have been won by a hairs
breadth, they are not verse to a whis-
ker growing ace which may not be
won by a close shave.
The contest, it appears, grew out of
remarks made at a meeting of the post.
One veteran who had hair on his head
and none on his face called another
who had hair on his face and non on
his head baldheaded. The veteran
with the hair on his face contended
that his whiskers contained more hair
than the other veteran had on his
head. Then all the veterans who were
either baldheaded or "baldfaced," as 1t
were, took sides in an argument on
whiskers. 1t was then that Comrade
Ployd. to stir the ambitions of the
beardless ones, came out with his prop
osition.
Melville H. Freass, who up to a
short time ago had the longest whis-
kers, is picked as the winner.

LAFFAN THE PUBLISHER.
How Noted Art Critic and Journalist
Helped a Green Reporter.

How Noted Art Critic and Journalist
Helped a Green Reporter.
William M. Laffan, publisher and
principal owner of the New York Sun,
who recently died Of appendicitis at
his country home in Lawrence, n. Y,
was well known as q man of letters
and an art connoisseur of note.
AS a newspaper man Mr.. Laffan's in
lauence was farreaching. As an art
critic and as an aid to J. Pierpont Nor
gan he did a work that placed him
high In the ranks of the men who have
helped in the art education of the
United States. It was to art that he
devoted his time when he could escape
from the exacting business Of attend
ing to many details connected with the
management Of his newspaper.
Apropos Of MI Laffan's interest in
art a story is told of his kindness to a
green reporter who in 1892 went to the
American Art galleries, in New York,
when Sutton and Kirby were a craze
among the elite to write something
about an important sale Of art objects.
Pretty soon he was in a daze. He had
served an apprenticeship at fires, MUIR
ders, funerals, police courts, ship
news, obituaries, etc., but did not know
the real meaning Of jades, celadon.
Flambe and Souf1e, eggshell, lacquers.
Diamio, Netsukes, coupes, Tisha-Ire.
faience, Satsuma, Cinnabar, inros. kin
kara, in-deu and a hundred and one
things with which the catalogue was
packed. He was in a dense sweat of
ignorance when a big man sat down
beside him and asked If he could be of
assistance. IF you understand any
thing about this sort Of rubbish, yes.
I don't know what is worthless and
what is not"
For more than an hour after the sale
ended this man sat there, patiently
leading the reporter up to an apprecia-
ton Of the fctile arts and suggesting
a list of objects worth mentioning in
a description Of the sale. The reporter
thanked his good Samaritan without
asking his name and hurried to his Of

attracted more attention in the office
than anything in that line that had oc-
CURED there for many years, and the
green reporters stock jumped away
above par. No one Of the %subeditors
dreamed that he possessed so intimate
a knowledge Of ceramics as the article
indicated, while the city editor made /
grumptious inquiries concerning the
whyness and whereforeness of the
youth, who hitherto had scarcely been
noticed among the staff. It was for
tunate for the reporter that the sale
had ended, as that fact alone enabled
him to rest on his laurels. But he be-
came curious at last to know who hal
helped him write so brilliant an article
and dropped into the art galleries to in
quire. Mr.. Kirby listened to his de-
scription of the man and guessed he
did not know him. There was no one
connected with the association that an
swered it. why. there's my man now,
owe there looking at that picture"
said the reporter, having discovered
his friend. who, of course, had a way |
of haunting art galleries. "Oh," said
Kirby, that's Mr.. Laffan Of the Sun.
Yes, he has a way Of helping people.

"A commonplace life" we say, and we

But why should we sigh as we say?
The commonplace sun in the common

Makes up the commonplace day.
The moon and the stars are commonplace

The flower that blooms and the bird that

Out of commonplace lives max his
