POOR TAILOR'S MANY TRIALS
Is Supposed to Take Imperfect Anato- my and Shape Garments to Pro-
 duce Perfect Figure.

Men tailors have trouble with shoul- ders, wristbands and legs, but legs are the worst. There isn't one man in ten who can make an affidavit that he is neither knockkneed nor bowlegged. Perfectly straight legs are rare. It's an art to shape fabrics over boWlegs so that they will not show and no joke to hide the bends of knockknees.
 When a man begins to take on weight it shows first at the belt line, then on the shoulders and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs. In the meantime the tailor has his trouble in keeping his customer from looking top- heavy. The tailor is supposed to take an imperfect anatomy and shape gar ments over 1t with such nicety as to produce superb figure. It's a trying job.
 Legs that are overlong are sources of some complaint. The waistcoat has to be dropped an inch or two in cases like this. There are knees which are 50 per cent larger than they ought to be-great knuckles of bone that are hard to hide. Then there's the thigh three times larger at the upper end than at the other. Men created or this model ought to be permitted to wear full-seated knickerbockers.

A Wintar,s Work

We need a, great many things in this life, but at the time We need it We need more than anything else a chunk of ice off which we may pick and remove a piece of the right size for the water pitcher Of course, the immensely rich never cut their own ice; and sometimes they don't cut any ice at all, but that is beside the ques- tion.
 Suppose the maid is having her evening out and you go to the refrige- rator te get chunk of ice to put in a pitcher of water-or in anything.
 You swing the ice pick and crack off chunk. You reach for, it. It watches you. and just as your fingers touch it 1t slides off the main chunk and down to the bottom of the ice chamber. You reach for it, and it skips and slips and dances and dodges about, wickedly evading your fingers. Times you clutch it, when with malevolent agility it wriggles from your grasp. In the end, you bring it up standing in a corner, but your sleeve is damp and soggy, your cuff is wilted, and the things you have been saying are such as no self-re- specting person should have said.
 Ice that will not have such any icy disposition will aid much in bettering the world
 Let some of our great minds work this out this winter

Stickino to 1t,

Police Judge Simon Hahn, while ad- dressing a political meeting, related the following incident in reference to telling the same tale over and over again:
 You all know" said the judge, "that the speeches made at political meetings are all very near alike, but to get something different is the prop CT thing nowadays.
 sIt puts me in mind of case of woman who appeared before a certain magistrate, and when asked her age she said 30 years old. The judge looked at her and said Look here, madam, weren't you here before me five years ago, and did you not tell me then that you were 30 years old?' The woman said that was so, and the judge asked her what she meant by yoming before him and telling an untruth.
 "The woman replied: Well, you see, your honor, I'm one of those kind of women who do not believe in saying one thing once and another thing an- other time '"-Newark Star.

 A hundred thousand eyes were fix ed intently on the living river of racers-an army of eyes watching eagerly for the horse which would first give token that it was being piloted by the god Success.
 But where was Peaches, There! there in the center of the storm tossed mass, her pretty head straight out toward the goal, her eyes darting forth the fire of a hundred famous ancestors; she seemed sea-bird dip ping to the wave and rising all foam bedecked to meet the next.
 Leaning far over her arched neck was Spuds, whispering kindly cheer into ears that hearkened well: "Go

 On they flew, while now from fifty | thousand threats hoarse cries of en- couragement were flung upon the winds of evening to be carried echo. ing away on the clouds of dust which arose lazily from the track.
 By my side old Uncle Carroll rode an imaginary horse with all the yigor of youth. The frenzy of the moment was in his blood, and his age-dimmed eyes, screwed into little points of sight, followed the every undulation of his choice!
 "Oh, Lordy! brung dat Whitefoot lady home, brung her home, Oh Lordy! doan yo' heerd what I said. brush her on, brush her on!

 With the rush of an angry wind across starless night the horses roared by the outposts where we stood, and through the clouds of dust I could see the jockeys preparing swiftly for the fury of the finish.
 The beautiful black horse was still in the lead, but there, creeping slowly up on him, inch by inch, was another no, surely, it isn't

My string" was getting in shape. It consisted of seven horses willed to me by my uncle Owen of Kentucky, and brought to me by his old trainer, Murf Higginbottom. No one of my family knew anything of the whole sad affair, and 1 was kept busy dodg- ing the trouble my secret caused.
 Tn about fo' weeks this here Peaches Ally will show us how Kain- lucky hoss can get real busy, suh!" Murf chuckled one morning when I dropped in to see him.

 "Only two of these have worked out to my liking, sur, and I'm for selling the othah five, if 1t suits yo all."
 Do so, Murf," I said, "and use the money just as though it were handed to you by Uncle Owen. Which colt shall you keep besides Peaches?"
 "The one yo all fastened to that there fool name Shoemaker, suh," he answered so earnestly that I laughed for ten minutes.

ProbabIy Got Off,

Apropos of certain unfounded charges of drunkenness among the naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral Dewey, at a dinner in Washington, told a story about a young sailor.
 "The sailor, after a long voyage" he said, went ashore in the tropics, and, it being hot day, he drank, in certain tropical bars, too much beer.
 "As the sailor lurched under his heavy load along a palm-bordered ave- nue, his captain hailed him indig- nantly
