BEWARE OF THE AppLEAcK
Grave and DIgnlfied Jurist the vic-
tim Of Pleasant but DeceItfuI

One Of New York's judges took a
little vacation not long ago. He Wis

place in New Jersey. The friend had
some prime. old New Jersey apple
jack. 81 got bit on edge with that
stuff," said the judge. "And then
sobered up, as l believed. Three
days afterward l brushed my hair, be-
ing DESTROYS of attending Sunday
school. Before I could get the brush
away from my head / was soused
afresh."
1t was during the pleasant evening
with the Jersey friend that the judge
escaped from the house. Loud yowls
coming from the orchard near by
guided the searchers to him. They
led him back to the house and sug-
gested that he go to bed. The judge
acquiesced, but insisted upon telling
his experience. THE trees were
bowling and waving their arms" said
he, "and the wind sang through the
branches, and the scent of flowers
was In the air. Sometimes the trees
changed places with each other. Now
and then they almost swept the road
In front Of me with their boughs."
None Of 'em hurt you, judge?"
mo, sir" said the judge, solemnly.
Never in my life did l go out with a
nicer bunch Of trees"

Repeated Sermons.

The prejudice against the repetition
of sermons is not universal. A good
book repays re-reading and a good
sermon should be all the more valuable
on second hearing. DR.. John Watson
clan Maclaren') openly repreached
his sermons when minister OF Seton
Park. Liverpool. and found that his
congregation approved Of the prac-
tice. They insisted. however, that the
repetition should be exact, and were
impatient of variations. In his Life
of the preacher-novelist, Sir William
Robertson Nicholl tells how on one
occasion, after listening to a repeat
ed" sermon, in which occurred a
smile of a pool, one OF the congrega-
ton said to DR.. Watson: Last time
you described 1t as 'turgid pool and
! was 30 afraid you were going to use
some other adjective, and that would
have spoiled the whole picture. l
was SO thankful when you said 'turgid'
again"

Efficiency in Advertising.

One principle of success advertis-
ing. as pracoiced by department saorss
ad writers and other specialists on
publicity, is to give definite disscrip-
lions of the goods offered. When a
merchant uses such phrases ns ."The
best is the cheapest" and BIGGEST
assortment and lowest prices" he con-
vinces no one. The reader argares
that anyone can use these catch
words and they prove nothing. ~
The most successful advertising Is
not apt to sound like an athempt to
persuade. 1t is more a statement of
facts. The reader is given material
by which he forms his own mental
picture of the goods.
For this purpose try definits and
dasailad though very brief iiasorip-
ton. Got manufactures of your hines
to give YOU some definite facts about
how the goods are put together, SO
that You can give some real reasons
why goods are superior.
Pick out some special bargains, de-
scribe them as above indicated. and
put i'm the price and the REAL valuIs
You believe them to have. Don't.
bother about flowery Language. What
the buyer wants is cold facts. '.Rea-
son why advertising is what brings
the buyer around.

calling fervent blessings down upon
the head of the fiend who first design

found himself suddenly with a mind
Invested of any care whatever and at

to him family, borne upon the heavy
wings of the sluggish evening air.
It was nothing more nor less than q
woman singing softly to herself (hum-
ming would probably be the more ac-
curate term), and 1t was merely the
tune that caught his fancy; a bit Of
an old song he himself had once
been wont to sing, upon a time when
he had been happier man. It SEEM

still that the woman's voice, indistinct
as it was, should have such a familiar
ring in his memory. He frowned in

1t was like him to forget his exas-

another mood entirely swayed him by
the time he found himself gazing out
Into the vague, velvety dusk that mo-
was closing down upon the
'airy-like panorama of terraced gar

thoughts had winged back to that

Of melody had put him In mind; and

conscious Of the pallid oval Of her
face, of a sleek white sheen of arms

but more than all else Of the glamour

not the slam of door brought him up

So she thought to escape him so
easily! He swore between his teeth
with excitement and tumbled back
whence he had come. Regardless of
the fact that he was still in his shirt

Smile Counts.

Every one likes to see a smiling
face and to smile becomingly one
must cultivate cheerful and sympa-
thetic condition of mind. The face
wreathed in smiles is like perpetual
sunshine In a house. 1t is Irresistible
and conquers all hearts. A smiling
mouth loses half its charms II the
eyes do not correspond; for the eyes
are the windows of the soul. and the
smile that lies only about the lips
soon dies away, leaving an Indifferent
spirit to survey and chill the world.
Cultivate the art of smiling not with
your lips. but with your eyes. Every
one can have laughing eyes. They
are not a matter of Inheritance. nor
can they be acquired with the aid of
the masseuse and the professional
beauty specialist. Love is a great
transformer. The sternest features
may be softened. the hardest natures
humanized by love.

self around his feet and all but threw
him headlong; only a frantic clutch at
the footrail of the bed saved him.
Kicking the thing savagely of he
flung himself upon the door and threw
1t open. His jaw dropped.
The lift shaft was directly opposite.
Before 1t. in more or less patient wait
ing, stood a very young and beautiful
woman In gown whose extreme can
dor was surpassed only by the perfec-
ton of its design and appointment
both blatant of the Rue de la PAX;
a type as common to the cognoscenti
of Monte Carlo as the Swiss hotel por-
tiers. But O'Rourke did not know her
from Eve.
"The divvle!" said he beneath his
breath.
He was mistaken; but the young
woman, at first startled by his uncer-
emonious appearance, on instantan-
eouS second thought decided to per-
NIT him to discover that twin imps,
at least, resided in her eyes. And
when his disappointment prevented
him from recognizing them, her dawn
ing smile was swiftly erased and her
ascending eyebrows spoke eloquently
enough of her naughty displeasure.
Spontaneously the lift hesitated at
that landing and the gate changed
wide; the young woman wound her
skirt about her and showed him a
back which at any other time would
have evoked his unstinted admiration.
Then the gate shot to with rattle
and bang, and the lift dropped out of
sight. leaving the man with mouth
agape and eyes as wide.
A beaming but elderly femme de
chambre on duty In the corridor, re-
marking O'Rourke's pause of stupefied
chagrin, hoped and believed he need
ed her services. She bore down upon
him accordingly.
"M'sieu' Is DESTROYS Off?
He came out Of his trance. Moth
Ing" he told her with acid brevity.
But, yes" he reconsidered with
haste. That lady who but this mo-
ment took the lift-her name?"
Her name, m'sieu'? Ma'm'selle Vol
taire."
'Impossible!" he told himself aloud,
utterly unable to forge any connecting
link between the lady in the lift and
her whose voice had bewitched him.
But assuredly. m'sieu'. Do not
know-I who have waited upon her
hand and foot these three days and to
whom she has not given as much as
that" The woman licked finger
nail against her strong white
Teeth. "Ma'm'selle victorine Vol
