HUMOROUS QU|Ps
FUNERAL WOULD COST NOR:
Reason Why Farmer Agreed to Pay
Big Fee to Elderly Physician
With Established Record.

=
A medico tells Of two physicians in
certain town, the one elderly, with
long record Of cures, the other young,
with his record still to make. The
older doctor, It appears. was inclined
to surrender some Of his night WORK
to the younger man.
One bitter night in winter the vet
eran was aroused by two farmers from
hamlet eight miles away, the wife
Of one Of whom was seriously Ill. The
doctor at once referred them to his
young colleague; but they refused the
latter's services.
Very WE'LL" replied the doctor,
thinking to put a convincing argument
before them, 'in that case my fee Is
two guineas. payable now"
Whereupon there ensued remon-
STRANGE on the part Of the farmers
but the doctor was obdurate. FINAL III
one OF the men asked the other:
Well. what do you think / ought to
do?"
Il think you'd better pay him the
two guineas," said the other. "The fu-
neral would cost you more" ."-Tit-Bita.

irish centerpieees.

OF all the different styles of em-
broidery on centerpieces, doilies and
lunch cloths, Irish embroidery Is the
most serviceable. II will stand twice
the wear and tear that any other kind
will endure, and after years of use
will look as fresh and we'll as whom
II was new. The work is slightly pad
ded and stands out from the linen, the
padding often being done with tiny
bits of raw cotton or else filled in
with darning thread, Over this the
embroidery is worked in the satin
stitch. sometimes having the edge Of
the pattern done in the outline stitch,
which gives little more frmness to
the work. Edges are either hemstitch-
ed Or finished with scallop that is
button-holed over slight padding.
F'ringed edges are not serviceable and
are no longer fashionable. A center
piece and set Of half a dozen doilies
makes an ideal gift for the bride.

so greatly has the rose changed In
the last three centuries; while as for
the bcgonias. the ehrysanthemums,
the dahlias. the geraniums, the
fuchsas, and carnations, these were
unknown even to our great grand
fathers, who would have regarded
them with wonder and delight.
For many of our most beautiful
flowers are purely modern produc-
tions, and three centuries ago there
were no flower gardens in England.

Beattie's Repentance.

Henry Clay Beattic, Jr,, the young
VIRGINIA merchant, who was con-
victed in September by a Jury
composed of twelve honest farmers,
has paid the penalty for Staying his
young and trusting wife by giving
up his own life. The young man
spent his last days getting right

has been successful Some days be-
fore he was electrocuted he made a
confession. He admitted that he
committed the crime charged against
him. This was the first good obtain
ed through his death-bed repentance,
II may be said by some that Beattie
did not give the Lord fair deal and
perhaps he didn't, but the good peo-
pie will not begrndge him the salts
faction he obtained through r.
pentance. Like many other young
men, BeattIe wa ted too long and we
hope this fact will impress itself
upon the minds Of other youths, who
are now going over the same routJ

for fayors is when you need them
least and have something to offer In
