The Dreadful Looking Person.

Rodin, the world famous French
sculptor, has had a wonderful career,
and. like most men who have risen
from obscurity to fame, he still pre-
serves much Of the simplicity Of his
early days. One day he was entertain
ing few artists, among them Ger
man who had never before visited the
sculptor. At dinner they were waited
on by a particularly plain looking Wo-
man.
"Im surprised" remarked the Ger
man during one Of the woman's alb
sences from the room, that you
should have such a very dreadful look
ing person about you. Why don't you
get a nice, good looking young house
keeper"
There was a sudden CHASTITY silence.
Then Rodin smiled.
81 don't like to be waited on at meals
by servants" he explained. The
dreadful looking person is my wife"

"The Texas of Europe"

In the "reminiscences Of Mrs. T. P.
O'Connor, q Myself" the author tells
Of her first meeting with Henry James,
whom she calls "a sort Of Massachu-
sets Sir Galahad:"
The first time | met him I sat next
him at dinner. had just come to
London, and he asked me if | liked 1t.
/ said hadn't made up my mind, and
he said l would-that in London you
were allowed every independence OF
opinion and action, only you must con-
tribute something socially-beauty (and
he bowed very courteously to me, and
l bowed very prettily to him) or wit
or agreeableness-and then London ac-
cepted you. l said: History repeats
itself In Texas, where was born,
they say a man is not asked his ma
tionality, his religion or his politics,
but only If he is good fellow" "Ah,"
said Mr.. James, then London is tho

poa. In Harness In Belgium.


Dogs that work in Belgium are
bought and sold in the open market
like horses, and If strong and well
broken they bring from $50 to S25
each. In manufacturing towns there
is the usual number of horses, but for
every horse you will see two dogs in
harness on the streets. Early In the
morning market women drive them
hitched to carts loaded down with veg
etables. The grocer, the expressman,
the butcher and baker, all employ
dogs to do the work Of horses. They
are much quicker than the horse, and
size for size they can draw a heavier
load. 1t is said the dog in harness
will go twice as far as the horse with
in the same time. They are driven in
wagons, single, double, treble and four
finland. They are often kept in liv-
cry barns like horses, are fed generally
on black bread and horsefesh and cost
in board from to 6 cents per day.
They are sleek and we'll kept and ap-
pear to enjoy their work.-Louisville
Courier ournal.

The Retort Courteous,

James Russell Lowell was once a
guest at a banquet In London where
he was expected to reply to toast.
The speaker who preceded Mr.. Lowell
said many contemptuous things about
the people of the United States, avow-
ing and repeating again and again that
they were all braggarts. AS Ameri-
can minister at the court Of St
James Lowell could hardly overlook
this speech, so as he rose he said
smilingly: II heartily agree with the
gentleman who has just spoken.
Americans do brag a great deal, and
l don't know where they got the hab-
1t, do you?"

a lrnn of Water.

Figures are sometimes impressive
simply by being so stupendous that
the human mind grasps them with
difficulty. An instance in point is az
forded by the illustration once offered
to his hearers by an eminent scientist.
who, in order to bring to their COM
prehension the idea Of ultimate parti-
cles Of water, stated that If he was to
empty a tumbler containing half a
pint Of water, letting out each second
number equal to 1000 times the
population Of the earth, it would re-
uuire somewhere between 100000
and 100000 years to empty the tum-
bier. Lord Kelvin has assured us that
If q drop Of water was magnihed to
the size of the earth. the particles
would be between the size OF cricket
balls and footballs. If that statement
is correct the drops Of water in all the
oceans are not many times so numer-
Gus as the particles. or molecules, IN
single drop-St. Louis Republic.

Sure of a Raise.

An enterprising woman who rents
several apartments in a new building
and subletS them furnished, room By
room, has profted at the rate Of sew
eral hundred dollars year BY WON
ans propensity for telling everything
she knows. To each applicant for
room she named an exorbitant price
to start with.
Nov. understand, this is a conces-
sion to you alone and must be regard
ed as strictly confidential. If you tell
a soul in the house that have made
a reduction in your favor l shall have
to charge the original price"
Within two weeks rents bad gone
up.
'N1rs. Smith tells me-" said the
astute landlady to each gossiping ten
ant, "that you told her you pay only
Sc for your room instead Of ST." And
as no one was in a position to plead
not guilty the additional rental was
exacted.-New York Times.

When He Was Bad,

It has been said that you never know
man till you travel with him, and
certainly travelling has q tendency to
bring out all the depravity innate In
human nature. Out of this test, how
ever, Benjamin Disraeli emerged with
flying colors. This is what was said
Of him by Mrs. Austen, who with her
husband travelled with him when he
was quite a young man, as related in
Mr.. Monypenny's biography:
Your brother" she says tthe letter
was addressed to Disraeli's sister,, lis
so easily pleased. so accommodating.
so amusing and so actively kind that
I shall always reflect upon the domes-
tic part of our journey with the great
est pleasure. Your brother has be-
haved excelently. except when there
is a button. or, rather. buttons, to be
put on his shirt; then he Is violently
bad, and this happens almost daily"

When Baronets Were Bold:

1t was in the reign of: good King
James that baronets first came into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
a baronet from a banker. But in the
year 1911, when James |. needed ready
money and created 200 little barons'
to supply him with cash, they swag-
gered about in their baldrics and sash
es and behaved in the courtliest OF
fashion. Each baronet in order to
Justify his title had to maintain
small army Of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only increased his revenue, but
actually lightened his expenses.
1t is not generally known that the
title of "baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One Of these was
the mother of a Dutch general. The
other was a Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Boles, who won her way
into the good graces Of Charles |. and
received the title from his bands
