One Omitted Detail.

Notwithstanding all the complaints
about the carelessness of the ordinary
waiter and the jokes about the mag
nificence of the head waiter, every
n knows that the business of the
poor knight of the napkin" is not
as easy one At any rate, in a story
told by Seymour Hicks, of a New
York restaurant, one must be glad
that the waiter finally got his in
nings."
Once, sitting in my usual cornor
at this restaurant, l heard a much
harassed waiter score heavily off a
tiresome customer who was ordering
oysters. The conversation that took
place was the following-the wretch
ed waiter turning to GO and execute
the order and being brought back
each time:
Say, waiter, l want a dozen blue
points"
Eyes, sir"
ooh, waiter"
Yes, sir"
Steamed, you know"
Yes, sir"
"Oh, waiter, you'll see that they're
not done too much"
mo, SIR"
"Oh, and walter"
Yes, sir"
xvii you see that they put a
squeeze of lemon in each SHELF"
Eyes, sir"
ooh, and waiter, just the smallest
amount of butter over them when
you serve them"
"Yes, sir"
And waiter"
Yes, sir"
Don't forget the pepper and
salt"
This last remark was too much
for the poor knight of the napkin.
Turning back again, of his own free
will, he said:
And, SIR"
"Well?" answered the customer.
would you like them with or
Without"
with or without WHAT"
pearls, SIR" said the waiter, and
disappeared.-Youth's Companion.

Proof of His Honesty.

Oliver H. Curtiss, sociologist, of
Omaha, said recently to the Detroit
Free Press:
Our slums are much cleaner than
the old slums of Europe. Our slum
d~enizens are cleaner, too.
Among us it is unusual to sew up
children in wooden underwear for the
winter-not so abroad-and / once
heard in Hungary of a case that you
will hardly credit.
"A man was arrested for stealing
a pig, and they told him that he must
take a bath before entering his CELL"
"'What. Take a BATH the man
cried, Mortified.
YES" said the jailor. How long
is it since you've had a bath?'
so help me- said the prisoner
solemnly, 4 W was arrested be-
fore-never!"

Mems Sence of Smell.

Mrs. Harry Lehr, at a luncheon IN
Newport, ridiculed the assertion of
a French novelist that men object to
Understanding women because
their sense of smell is so exceedingly
delicate and keen.
"If mans sense of smell were
really so extraordinary" said Mrs.
Lehr, he couldn't stand his rooms
and clothes and mustache all saturat-
ed with stale tobacco and whisky
fumes.
MANS keen sense of smell! And
yet how we'll the average mar is hit

for vagrancy.

A Kansas City Episode

Three gypsy women, one quite
young, were in an east side grocery
store when two young American
women entered, according to a Kan
sas City paper. One of the older
gypsies made a "gurgling'' noise to
the young one soon after the Ameri-
cans were inside.
Don't you girls want your fortune
told?" asked the little gypsy miss as
she walked toward the young women
with her hand outstreched.

Plural and Singular.

. Plural and Singular.
Well begin with a box, and the
plural is boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxen,
not oxes.
Then m fowl Is goose, but two are
called geese;
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese;
You may find a lone mouse or a
whole lot of mice,
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is always men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The COW in the plural may be COWS
or kline,
But a bow if repeated is never called
bin,
And the plural of VOW is VOWS, not
vine,
And if l speak of a foot and you
show me your feet,
And / give you a boot, would a pair
be called beet?
If one is a tooth, and a whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth,
be called beeth?
If the s%ingular's this and the plural
is these,
Then one may be that, and three
would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not
We speak of a brother and also of
brethren,
But though we say mother We never
say methren,
Then masculine pronouns are he, his,
and him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis,
and SHIN.
So the English, l think, you all will
agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

one of the young women, a sad eyed
blond, tired-looking creature.
"Sy. you," she exclaimed, I'm al
ready married, and I'd rather give
you $50 to tell me how to lose what
I've got than 10 cents to know that
there is another lazy loafer waiting
down the line somewhere for me to
support"
"Where do you live?" she asked
then. Il will come to your home
and tell you all
Beat it, little one, beat it," order
ed the tired-looking blond. Il don't
live; l exist. And , S for you telling
me all, why | can tell you more about
this game and hand out more real,
genuine hot tips on this matrimonial
business than you ever dreamed of.
If you ever run across a stenographer
earning her little $S5 per, and en-
joying single ~blessedness, don't wait
to read her palm. Look her straight
in the eye and tell her not to let any
curly haired, gazelle-eyed SIS a week
clerk with pink ears and perfectly
manicured nails get her out of her
head enough to stand for that mar
riage business. When he loses his
job he never gets another, and the
aforesaid st~enographer has Ito hike
out and get n of her own. And
the chances are it will be about SO
per writing five letters a week,
watching the telephone and steering
creditors off some screw of a lawyer
with fringe around the bottom of his
trousers. You take chances, too, on
getting even that SO on which two
must live cheaper than one. Tell her
that, too"
Then she said to the grocer: Give
me a dimes worth of brick cheese
and a nickel's worth of lettuce. We
are going to have sandwiches for
luncheon. | like that word luncheon

George AIDE on Matrimony.

George AIDE was talking at a June
wedding in Chicago about matri-
mony. "Matrimony is perhaps a
little too much idealized," he said.
These June brides, radiant under
their white wells in a glitter of June
sunshine, seem capable of changing
earth into heaven, but as a matter of
fact they are not capable of anything
of the sort. l am in hearty SYM
pathy with old Brown, to whom
young Black said at a wedding: "A
good wife can make a veritable angel
of a man. Yes, that's So old
Brown agreed. My wife came near
making one of me with her first
batch of doughnuts.'"

Just Like a Woman.

The other day James r. Forbes,
the secretary af the Society for the
Prevention of Mendicancy, occupied
a seat in an elevated train, says the
New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times-Star. A motherly-
looking woman sat beside him. By
and by a young man, minus n leg
and with a black patch over his right
eye, stumped through the cal. He
distributed poorly-printed appeals
for charity in the usual misfit rhyme.
The Notwithstanding began
to tumble in her purse.
Don't give that faker anything
madam" said Mr.. Forbes. He is a
lazy, worthless rogue. If he were
honest and Industrious there would
be no need for him to beg"
The motherly-looking woman
listened to Mr.. Forbes with interest.
That gentleman, in the interval be-
fore the return of the cripple, gave
her his card, and explained that years
devoted to a study of the problem of
mendicancy had convinced him that
broadly speaking, no street beggar
is deserving. He told her of the
thousands of cases he had Investigate
ed, and of the small percentage OF
beggars he had been able to reform
The Misunderstanding woman was
properly shocked. She said it was
disgusting that these big husky.
healthy parasites should be permitted
to live upon a community.
IF I had my way" said she, hei
eyes shining with mild determine
ton through her spectacles, "I'd put
every n of them in jail"
Then the one-legged young man
stumped through the car again, col
lecting his begging cards. With an
apologize glance toward Mr.. Forbes
the Notwithstanding woman dropped
a nickel in the beggar's hand.
81 just couldn't help it," she con
fessed, flushing. HE had such q

REMARKABLE CRIME
 OCCURS NEAR ROME

Rome, Ga, January 2S.-(Special)-A re- markable tragedy occurred recently in the village of Senerchia, near Avellino. A man named Donate is alleged to have murdered his father and his wife, be- cause of their interference with him and a married woman named Teresa, to whom he became attached, and whose husband Is in the United States It is not known whether the suspicion was justified, for the man was not arrested for the crime, but his mother, it Is certain, was con- vinced of his guilt, and had been horror- struck at his callousness and immortality. According to the reports, the son went to confession, and while in the church the old woman crept up behind him and dealt him a fatal blow with wood chopper, which she had concealed in her garments. causing her son to exIlre in a few mo- ments. The mother was arrested and a
 huge crowd of villagers gathered and attempted to drag the murderess from the hands of her guards. Fierce fighting ensued, but eventually the prisoner was taken to the municipal building, where she was hidden. The excited mob then stormed the building, but as they rushed into the hall the floor collapsed and all were precipitated into the cellar below Nearly every person was injured more or less, a number having to receive medt- cal attention. The mother of tiie mur- dered man Is now in prison.
