Toast to Women.

There has always been plenty Of
clever repartee in toast giving at large
functions between men and women.
but 1t is not always that there are two
wits SO easily matched that one can
give the retort discourteous to the
other in so quick a manner as to bring
out applause.
The way in which this was done at
q recent dinner is worth repeating. so
the toasts are given in detail. They
were both uncomplimentary, but It
goes without saying that they will be
used again and again in a laughing
spirit by those who love to play with
such fire.
A man who avowed himself wo-
man hater was asked to give a toast
to 'lovely woman" He responded
with these lines:
Here's to the women who are tender!
Here's to the women who are slender!
Here's to the women who are large and
fat and red!
Here's to the women who are married!
Here's to the women who have tarried!
Here's to the women who are speeches.
but they are dead!
Without moments hesitation a girl
at the other end Of the table got up
and gave this toast:
Our sex. you know, was after yours de-
signed
The last perfection Of the Makers mind.
Heaven drew out all the gold for US and
left your dross behind.

THE SCRATCHED
BULLET
By RUTH GRAHAM
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911.

A man sitting in his office heard an
explosion. He was counting Il pile of
bills at the time. but us soon as he
had finished and thrust them in his
safe he went in next door and found
the occupant. Daniel Jones. sitting in
his chair with his head down on his
desk. dead.
My office was in the same building
and hearing of the murder l went
into Jones' Office. A surgeon was eX-
tracing the bullet from the wound,
and as soon as he had done so it was
seized upon by Il detective who stood
waiting for it. The detective rolled
1t up in his handkerchief and was
going away with it when l said to
him:
II believe you detectives are hum
bugs. making a great ado about small
Efficiency. III bet you hundred dol
lars to ten that the bullet you have
taken never leads to the discovery Of
the murderer"
'Since you offer large odds I'll take
your bet. l think in about one case
in ten the bullet with which man
Is murdered will lead to the discovery
Of the person who shot him."
Every WE'LL" l replied. IF it is so
in this case come to my Office. tell
me the story. and I'll give you hun
dred dollars"
We exchanged names and addresses
and thought no more about the mat
ter till saw it stated in a newspaper
that man had been tried for the
murder of Daniel Jones. The jury had
not been ten minutes in coming to a
verdict Of justifable homicide. The
very next morning the detective with
whom l had made the bet came into
my Office and claimed hundred dol
lars. invited him to be seated and
tell me the story.
II examined the bullet with micro
scope" he said. land discovered tiny
scratch on one side, and. looking
further, found another scratch twice
the breadth of the first about one-third

each other to make those two scratches

Salmon Sandwiches.

If housekeeper has grown tired OF
the conventional sandwich she should
try those made Of salmon. They are
most palatable.
The salmon is faxed and moistened
with mayonnaise and then put as q

brown bread with the crust cut off,
Sweet sandwiches are also in fashion
for luncheons and after theater par

learn of a person or persons who
would have a motive for the murder
The family Of the murdered man were
very loath to point a finger Of sus-
picion at any one, and I had hard
time to get anything out of them.
Jones had a debtor, Evans, whom the
family admitted to have pressed so
strongly for payment that the two had
quarreled bitterly about the matter.
Then there was discharged coach
man who Mt the time of his discharge
went away muttering curses. These
were the only suggestions could get
from the family, and went to work
on both Of them at once.
II effected an entrance to the house
OF Jones debtor and found pistol in
his drawer, but Of a different caliber
from the one with which he Uones)
had been killed. Besides, from other
indications made up my mind that he
had nothing to do with the murder.
also found the coachman who had
been discharged, but no pistol in his
possession.
II sat down one day. lit cigar. put
my feet up on desk and did job Of
thinking. can think out any soluble
problem with cigar in my mouth and
my feet in the air. The murderer, at
ter shooting Jones, would naturally
be worried about the pistol with
which he committed the deed. since it
might be used as evidence against
him. Even the fitting of the ball in it,
considered with other discriminating
circumstances, might convict him. He
would endeavor to get rid of it. How ?
He would ether try to lose it. give it
away. sell it or pawn it. I rely greatly
on criminals anxiety to get rid of in
eliminating articles. There was a
chance in this case that the pistol
would find its way into either Sec
ond hand store or pawnshop. l con-
Guided to go through all there were of
both in the town.
"1n a pawnshop found new re-
volver. only one barrel Of which had
been used, that had been pawned a
day or two after the Jones MUIR
der. l focused the suns rays in
the barrel with a glass and thought l
saw some scratches, but could not be
sure. 1 bought the pistol, loaded the
barrel that had been used and fred
the ball into tank full Of water. Re-
covering the bullet I found on it the
scratches l was looking for"
The detective paused. and I. taking
up my checkbook, wrote him a check
for hundred dollars. Handing it to
him I remarked that the rest Of his
job was doubtless dead easy, but
would like to hear how it was man.
aged
II was not long," he continued, fold
ing the check and putting it in his
pocketbook, 'in finding the person
who had pawned the revolver He
was tramp and said he had been
walking on q road toward the city
and met man in an auto driving
furiously. The tramp turned to look
at the registered number and made a
mental note of it. Just then he saw
the man in the auto throw something
away. He went after it and found a
revolver.
Taking 1t into the city he pawned
1t. The man who threw it away was
identified by his auto number.

happiness by alternating his wife's az

A M otto.

There is an old saying that should
be illuminated and hung in every
schoolroom and nursery-"Drive not a
second nail till the first is clinched."
If children and girls and boys would
get that into their understandings they
would not fear examination times, and
their brains would be less sievelike.
1t may take more trouble to master
thing at first, but it pays in the end.
Mastery does not mean learning for a
day, but forever. 1t would not be
much of builder who puts in his
nails so fast or so indifferently that
the old ones fell out as soon as a new
one went in.
Make that motto your own as you
start back into new year Of schoo,
and see If 1t does not make study
easier and more interesting and re-
ports better.
