said Dam Fool was a 'mmocnile gum,
a nice name, and if he could not have
that name he would not work for her.
He was so stubborn about it that she
had either to use the name or to send
him back to the compound. Event
ually she kept him, and she told me
that it was a relief to her feelings
sometimes to have a kitchen boy an.
swering to just that name.
THE Kafirs are very initiative and
will cook a dish exactly as they have
been taught. But l never could quite
bring myself to eat Kafir cooking.

One night for dinner he brought in a

He Saw More Lights.

In one of the hotels recently some
new electric lights were put in use in
a decorative way. A young man who
lives on the hill happened in after the
stock show and noticed the lights.
They're 4ery nice" he said to the
head waiter, but why didn't you put
up more?"
The head waiter, knowing the
young mans fondness for articles
enumerated on the wine list, replied;
II think you'll see more of them be-
fore you leave, Mr.. So-and-So."
The young man remained in the
safe a couple of hours, and imbibed
rather freely of liquid refreshments.
When he got ready to leave he sought
the head waiter.
Much obliged to you" he said.
Did you put the extra ones in f'r
me?"
Certainly" replied the head wait
er, bowling.
The young man left the hotel feel
ing greatly honored.-Denver Post.

The Fourteen Errors of Life.

The fourteen mistakes of life,
Judge Rentoul told the Bartholomew
club, are:
To expect to set up our w stand
ard of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by own own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all DISPOSE
} tons alike.
Not to yield to unimportant trif1es.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what can not be remedied.
Not to alleviate If we can all that
leeds alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we can not ourselves perform.
To believe only what u finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment, the
time, the day were so important that
it would live forever.
To estimate people by some out
side quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.-London

New York Wants Meat.

In an uptown restaurant Tip asked
the tall Danish waiter if the boycott
on meat was making more people eat
vegetables. I'VE walters hear n
read about the boycotters, but New
York people would eat meat If it
cost a dollar a pound" said Hans.
Tip then asked about people who
never eat meat, and Hans quickly
said: These v~egetarians all look
sickly, and are most cranky. They
eat beans baked in pork grease, cab
bages cooked with corned beef,
spinach, rice, eggs and pies with
crust made out of hogs lard and beef
leaf. One talked me into it, and /
tried vegetables only for three days.
I would sit down and eat all I could
hold, and at twice the expense OF
beef and potatoes, and an hours
work made me weak and as hungry
as ever. A waiter can't stand on his
feet without meat to eat. Four kinds
of vegetables do not fill a mar up
as much as two eggs and some
bread."-New York Press.

ing, but samples from the very begin
ming.
1T was very funny to see the scorn
with which some of them regarded
their first attempts. 1t was also
amusing to see the satisfaction of the
beginners when they saw that. the
first work of the older girls, whom
they now look upon as being prize
winners, was no better than their
own.
Now coming to my sewing class
has become a matter of course in the
families of my patrons. AS fast as
their daughters reach the necessary
age they make their appearance with
their sewing-boxes and bundles of
cloth under their arms.
people laugh and say they have to
thank me for having made sewing
fashionable, but do you know think
the trouble with most girls who grow
up not liking to sew is that they have
had no proper teaching. Hand sew
ing is no more drudgery than m
broidery, so why should it be so con-
sidered?
81 have had so many applications
from the parents of some of my older
pupils that l now am considering TAX
ing them again next year for the pur-
pose of giving them a course in fine
needlework. When they finish that
course I think they will be able to
make their own French underwear
and shirt waists.
There is another feature to my
work besides the money and what the
children gain. 1t is what J. have
gained.
IT am sure had l given up after
my accident and allowed my mind to
dwell on what 1 had planned to do
with my life I should now me a most
miserable woman, to say nothing Of
the discomfort of those who are
forced to live with me. AS small as
my work may seem to others it occu-
pies a large half of my time.
"I am careful always to select
pretty styles for the garments my pu-
pills are planning to make. That
makes it necessary for me to keep up
with the change of fashion and brings
to me many new ideas to think and
talk about. 1t also brings me many
grown-up visitors. 1t has now be-
come the usual thing for my women
friends to consult me about their new
dresses before they take the cloth to
the dressmaker.
"Six dollars a week is not a large
income, but living as we do in a small
town it is not insignificant. Then

worth while. "-McCalls Magazine.

Too Much for His Faith.

1.-THE late Bishop Hare" said a
Sioux Falls physician, used, very
reasonably, to impute seepticism to
misunderstanding.
HE once told me about a Phila-
delphia business man of sceptical
tendencies who said to him:
my dear DR.. Hare, I do not refuse
to believe in the story of the ark. I
can accept the ark's enormous size,
it's odd shape and the vast number of
animals it contained. But when /

years in the wilderness-well, there,
I'm bound to say, my faith breaks

Pig and Point.

American shooting men are much
exercised over a story that a sporting
farmer named KNITTED, who lives near
Brounsburg, st. Louis, has succeeded
in teaching a pig to point game, and
shoots over it. Our American friends
have evidently forgotten the famous
"pig pointer which was trained to
stand winged game and rabbits by the
brothers Toomer, royal keepers in
the New Forest. This pig pointer
was a black SOW whose intelligence
and nose responded to a fortnights

Not Exactly Taxable.

Here is a story that Is being en-
joyed around the Wyandotte County
courthouse:

anvass for personal tax assessments.

said:
Madam, I am the personal tax az

"I never shall forget the names
NV Kafir boys took" said a Western
woman in New York who kept house
several years in South Africa, where
her husband was manager OF a mine.
when the Kafir boys come from the
kraals no one ever uses their native
names. AS soon as they are brought
in contact with the whites they take
a white name.
This produces results which are
not lacking in humor. Among the
house boys Knife, Fork and Spoon
were common anne Table, Chair,
Watch, Carriage, and Matchbox were
other names that ! had in tff house
at various times. MY butler rejoiced
in the stately appellation Of New One.
It was when the slang phrase That's

Zone of my house boys took the
unitarian name of Ham n Eggs.

they learn to eat it among the whites,

Old Country Dance.

The cushion dance was originally
an old country dance in triple time,
which was introduced into court at
the time of Elizabeth. The dance
was very simple. A performer took a
cushion and after dancing for a few
minutes stopped and threw the cush-
ion before one of the spectators. The
one so selected had to kneel on the
cushion and allow the dancer to kiss
her. After which he repeated the
dance.

A City's Name.

1t is a disgrace and a shame that
in a city like Los Angeles, populated
by 100000 educated Americans, the
very name of the town they live in
and are proud of and have helped
to make should be wife-beaten at
their daily hands. Even if late, it is
time now to make a crusade for the
official pronunciation which will be
followed by every self-respecting per-
son with the fear of God and the love
of California before his eyes. And
that's easy to set and easy to get:

The psychical development OF man
is destined to go on in the future as
it has gone on in the past. The Gre
alive energy which has been at work
through the bygone eternity is not
going to become quiescent to-mor-

even more widely and more funda-
mentally than he is distinguished to-
