Servia holds tho record for mar

with actual custom, has made mar

respect has lately bsen extended

the race is dscimated by frequent
wars, women are still numerically

Irving and His Money.

John Hare, the English actor, said
that one of the failings charged to
Irving's account was that of eXtrava-
gance-that he did not know the value
Of money. 1t is quite true he did not
know the value of money for himself.
but he knew its value to others He
knew its value to the poor and help
less, and to these he gave with Il
lavish hand.
Once, not long before his death,
playing three nights engagement in
IN unpretentious midland town, his
habit was to drive nightly to the thea
ter Ga very short distance from his
hoteD in the same dilapidated fly. The
fare was a shilling. The conveyance
was shabby, the driver old, poor and
worn out At the conclusion of the
engagement, on entering his hotel, Irv
ing said to the landlord, "Have you
paid the cabman?' Yes, Sir Henry"
What did you give him for himselfF"
Il gave him half a crown, Sir Henry"
"Give him sovereign" was the re-
ioinder; ''he drives very well, and he
doesn't drive often"

Jefferson DAYS s..raak from the
sight of every form o. suffering, even
IN imas nati)n. WHel the Babes liz
tho Eood' was first read to him,
grO'Sn man, in time OF illness, he
would not endure the horror of it.
His sympathy with the oppressed was
almost abnormal, 80 that says Mrs
Davis, at was difficult matter to
keep order with children and serv-
ants" All this shows that he was
nervous, sensitive, which is terrible
handicap to leader of men. He suf-
fered always from nervous dyspepsia
and neuralgia and "came home from
his office fasting, a mere mass of
throbbing nerves and perfectly eX
hausted." He was keenly susceptible
to the atmosphere about him, especial
ly to the moods of people, abnormal
ly sensitive to disapproval. Even a
child's disapproval discomposed him."
And Mrs. Davis admits that this SEN
sitiveness and acute feeling of being
misjudged made him reserved and un-
approachable. 1t made him touchy as
to his dignity also, and there are sto-
ries of his cherishing a grudge for
some insignificant or imagined slight
and Furnishing the author of it--Gama-

Joy In Store For Some One.

Among the advertisements in a
monthly magazine we find this:
For Sale or EXchange.-A fine young
male bobcat and female coyote; also a
mandolin and pair of fieldglasses.
Such opportunities as this are not
often offered. The fieldglasses most
of us could manage to do without, but
the male bobcat, the female coyote
and the mandolin would go far to
make life happy for any reasonable in
dividual. All these are productive of
music, and music gives joy to all right
ly constituted persons. There are, of
course, some people who cannot play
upon mandolin, but anybody can
play upon bobcat or a coyote. This
fine chance to get a varied and inter
esting collection of musical instru-
ments will undoubtedly bring many
eplies.-Rochester Union and Adver-
tiser.

The Chance That Was Wrought.

The little man was explaining to his
audience the benefits of physical cul.
ture. 'Three years ago" he said. II
was a miserable wreck. Now, what do
you suppose brought about this great
change in me?' What changer said
a voice from the audien, Z. There was
a succession of loud smiles, and some
persons thought TO see him collapse.
But the little man was not to be put
out. "Will the gentleman who asked
What changer kindly step up hereT'
he asked suavely. 81 shall then be
better able to explain. "Thats right!
Then, grabbing the witty gentleman
by the neck: when | first took up
physical culture | could not even lift a
little man. Now (suiting action to
word) can throw one about like n
bundle of rags" And finally he flung
the interrupter half dozen yards
along the floor. 81 trust, gentlemen,
that you will see the force of my argu-
ment and that l have not hurt thi
gentleman's feelings by my explana-
ton" There were no more interrup.
tions.

DoGe1Es' EXPENSIVE COLLARS.

The fashion changes in dog collars
not quite as often perhaps as in the
clothes of the mistresses, but there
are sharply defined rules concerning
what is correct in canine collar adorn-
ment. The latest mode for these col
lars next spring is a bright green leath-
er, and on the right shade of dog the
effect is remarkably striking Red col
lars are again in vogue for black
coated doggies. and there is a model in
silver beads that is much approved. A
favorite collar of a dog in the toy class
owned by belle living at the national
capital is of brown leather headed
with silver nails. On the bangle which
bangles from the collar are described
the CANNES name and address.
But the most curious dog collar on
record was ordered by a Baltimore
man to celebrate the eleventh birth
day of his favorite black and tan ter
rier Dixie. The collar is of dia-
monds, of which no fewer than 700
were used. According to the illustra-
ton given of this collar. it was fash
ioned somewhat in the form of tiara,
with a pendant consisting of two
graduated pieces higher in the center
and narrowing at the back.

The Myth of the Doones.

How largely Mr.. Blackmore drew
upon his imagination for the story of
Lorna Doone" Is made clear by +.
w. lakewood in his book, "The Good
Old Times" There were, in fact, no
Doones. The word was simply local
bogy, modified form of Dane" Il
memory of the faroff times when the
viking invaders harried the land. "The
only veStige of actuality discOverable
is faint tradition that fugitive from
the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape the
hangings of Judge Jeffreys, appropriat
ed the ruins of some wretched huts in
recesses of the Badgworthy glen, now
the Doom valley finding there a safe
retreat in which he reared consider
able family. which managed to exc out
living by committing petty depreda
tons in the district. The last of the
Doones,' an old man and his grand
daughter, are said to have perished in

Two Collars on a Dou,

Having bought a dog that he admir-.
ed, man undertook to buy a dog col
lar. The dog had a neck nearly as big
as his head, and the dealer advised the
man to buy two collars.
what for?" said the man. Hes
only got one neck, so / guess he can
get along with only one collar, can't
he?"
Maybe so," said the man, so the
man went away leading the dog by his
new collar and chain. In less than a
week he brought the dog back.
"Tm afraid l can't keep him." he
said. "He is too obstreperous. | can't
keep him tied up. His neck is the big
gest part of him, and he is as strong
as an OK, therefore it is a cinch for
him to slip his collar Off"
THAT was why wanted you to take
two collars said the dealer. Put
both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar, and he can tug away all
night without getting loose He may
commit suicide, but he won't get
loose."-New York Sun.

Had to lake His Own Medicine.

George Barr McCutcheon was wait
ing for train in Chicago, and as he
passed through the station he saw one
of his latest best sellers displayed on
the newsstand counter. He picked ii
up, wrote his name on the fly leaf
and handed it to the boy behind the
counter He was moving away when
the boy called excitedly:
"Hey, mister, come back here. You've
got to buy this book cause you've
spoiled it by writing your name in it."
"Yes, but did you see the name?" the
author asked.
THAT don't make no difference" the
lad insisted: 'nobody'll want to buy
it now"
And, hearing his train called, Mr..
McCutcheon was forced to pay real
money for one of his own books.-Suc-

PRIZES CHINESE DENTISTRY.
American Army Officer Has Wondrous
Example In Gold.

There is now on the active list of
the United States army an accom-
plished officer who during an exten-
sive sojourn in China had some work
done on his teeth by native dentist
which is wonderful to behold. In the
place OF three or four missing teeth
the Chinese operative appears to have
anchored single strip of gold, which
seems to serve the intended purpose
all right, but without line or curve

teeth The officer who possesses this
remarkable example of oriental den
tistry prizes 1t as a Chinese curio.

GARFIELD IS 1 "FAYORITE SON'.

Washington, July 22.-James R. Garfield secretary of the interior under Roosevelt, is candidate for the presidential nomination in 1912. He will try to take Ohio delegates away from Taft
 Realizing that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for any outside man to take the state away from Taft, the Ohio progressive leaders are preparing to make "favorite son" campaign wita Garfield.
 Garfield's chief asset is his record in public office, The country is fam iliar with his vigorous administra- tion of the interior department, and of his application of the conservation policy to the problem which con- fronted him.
 The Garfield candidacy is not in opposition to LaFollette. The pro- gressives are willing to concentrate on the strongest man. But an i'm portant skirmish before the final bat tie involves the making of strong fight against Taft in his home state As to the national convention, it will not be difficult for all the progress sive delegates to get together on Whatever candidacy has the best chance.
