The handkerchief Came From Italy

The Handkerchief Came From Italy.
A writer in a French review points
out that, the handkerchief does not
come to MS from China, as has been
generally believed, but from Italy. 1t
is only 300 years ago that the hand
kerchief of a Venetian lady was con-
sidered great curiosity. The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re-
ceived with great favor at the court of
France. Handkerchiefs were then
made of cambria or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry Ill. Of France the sachet was
introduced. The handkerchief was
taken into Germany a little later and
was known as the "fazelletin," after
its Italian name. Only persons of
quality used 1t, and an edict in 1896
was published at Dresden interdicting
the use of the handkerchief among the
trading classes.-London Globe.

They Were Good on the Train, but
Only For Little While.
A bunch of old time travelling men
were visiting at a Topeka hotel, and

A story was told ON John Becker.
for years a conductor on the Santa

palm for being the bravest "con" who
ever set foot on q through Kansas
train in the old and perilous days.
One day, just after the Santa Fe
train had left Dodge City, Becker pass
ed through the car to take up the
pasteboards. Two cowboys had board
cd the train at Dodge, and Becker
went up to them and said, Tickets,
please"
For an answer the cowboys whipped
out big revolyers-the Colts blue steel
brand, "A caliber-and replied:
Here they arer'
They're good" said Becker quickly.
with a deprecatory wave of his hand,
and he passed on through the car.
The cowboys chucked their irons"
back into their holsters and settled
back comfortably, thinking that the
train was theirs.
Becker walked on back to his little
wardrobe at the front end Of the next
car and unlocking it, took out a
sawed off double barreled shotgun
loaded with slugs. He cooked both
hammers-for 1t was before the ham,
merless automatic days-and. getting
the gun properly placed In front of
him, he marched back into the car
where the cowboys We're.
He stepped briskly In front OF them
and showed the big gun into their
faces, holding 1t at such an angle that
a shot would have swept Off the heads
of both.
Then he said again, gently, Your
tickets, please"
The hands of the cowboys twitched
convulsively toward their pockets. and
Becker interjected, Give me those
tickets, please, that have handles and
shove 'em at me with the handles to-
ward me-toward me, understandY he
added. bearing down hard with the
emphasis on me"
The tickets came across with the
handles in the requested direction.

They dug.
Now, at the next station you fell

ed off was still at dangerous location
and the hammers still up.
The cowboys nodded vigorously In
the affirmative, and they unloaded
quickly and without words at the next
stop.

And II Took q Long. Long Time to

One of the most elaborate and sus-

that played on J. NJ. Langford-com-

Smith went downstairs and stood In
the hall. The next member who came
up to the morning room sauntered up
to Langford with: II see you've been
having your hair cut. Who did 1T"
Joe very sternly replied, II can't i'm
agine why you ask me-" Then he or
dered a glass of sherry and bitters.
The walter brought 1t and gave little
start of surprise as he presented 1t
with BEG pardon. sir. It's along of
your air. sir; II looks unusual" Joe
went to the glass and saw nothing re-
markable, but as he was considering
his face Charles burst upon him with,

Joe could stand II no longer. He
went of to his chambers In Ray

day he saw an advertisement In the

1t your own hand or the deed of an
other? Confess ere It be too late"
1t was only the first of series of sim

of his tormentors devised continual
surprises for him. On the day he
went down to Chertsey races he saw
the walls placarded with enormous
posters. yellow and black: y. NJ. L.
