Wiliind to Be Honest,

Phil May, the great English artist,
earned his first fame in Australia. One
day a broken down minister applied to
him for charity, and May engaged him
as a model. AS joke he also demand
ed that his eighty-year-old pensioner
agree to leave him his skeleton when
he died. When May left Australia he
called his model in. you've played
me a dirty trick" said May, ''by swim
ding me out Of that skeleton. could
have bought one in sound order and
condition for half the money you've
cost me-" The old fellow, conscious of
his base ingratitude to his best and
most patient friend, answered: Don't
be angry with me, Mr.. May. It's not
my fault. 1 meant to keep my word.
Stay in Sydney a few months longer
and give me another chance to show
you that l am a man Of honor"

Fecl7ot PLAYS,

"It is q tremendous undertaking to
get n new play accepted and produc-
ed" once said the late Clyde Fitch to
a friend. $50 many are written, and
so few ever see the light of day. An
Eng ISL playwright with a gift of HUI
morous exaggeration illustrated this
fact to me once. He told me how he
submitted a play to celebrated ac-
tor and how in the course of the con-
versation the actor remarked:
Don't you think it is growing
chilly in this room?
Ives: it is rather the young play
wright admitted.
Then the actor rang a bell, and n
servant forthwith appeared.
James, said the actor, this room
is rather cold You may put three
more manuscripts on the fire. Lip

The BIushing Octopus.

The octopus frequently changes It's
color, like a marine cameleon. 1t
would appear, from recent studies OF
the creature, that the colored pigment
whereby this change in color is eff
fected is contained in envelopes in
its skin, in the tissues of which are
muscular fibers actuated by nerves.
Should these fibers become relaxed a
dark pigment appears. The phenome-
non is said to be analogous to blush
ing.-Harper's Weekly.

Thomas Jefferson. a young law
yer and farmer, drew up a paper
embodying the colonies defiance of
oppression and their intention of
forming a nation for themselves,
independent of cvrey foreign pow
or.
This paper was called the Dec
laration of Independence. 1t was
adopted on July d, l776. That
was the birthday of the u nited
States of America. In memory of
that first Fourth of July-the day
when we ceased to be subordinate
colonies and becme free nation
we have ever since celebrated the
anniversary. When one remen-
bers all the date really means and
all that it commentaries there
should surely be as much room in
every American heart for graft

This MOTHER MAKES
new WORLDS RECORD
Turns Out Five Sets of Twins
In s Years

Gulfport, Miss, June ga Missis-
sippi woman claims the worlds record
for twins, having given birth to five
pairs, total of ten children, within a
period of eight years.
The woman who thus displays her
unalterable position to race suicide is
Mrs. J, d. Pifario, of Gulfport, and if
her record has ever been equalled it
is not publicly known
Mrs. Pifario's first twins were girls,
the next two boys, the next four girls,
and the next four boys, making a total
of six girls and four boys, all within
a period of eight years.
Another remarkable feature of this
extraordinary record is the fact that
neither the mother or any of the chill
dren have been seriously i'll within the
past eight years They are all hale
and hearty, with distressingly good
appetites, even the youngest twins,
who are only six weeks old.
