Fenced In.

Near Harvard square. In Cambridge.
stands the old elm under which Wash
ington first took command OF the
american army. Around this tree Is
an iron picket fence inclOsure perhaps
a couple OF rods across. One night q
man who had imbibed too freely stum-
bled against this circular fence. Grasp
ing one picket after another, he CROPPED
his way painfully round and round the
outside of the incIosure about a dozen
times. Finally he sank down In utter
despair. "Oh, amt it awful-fenced
In and no gate to get out Of it," said
be as a party Of students rescued him
and took him Unconstitutional Monthly.

His Name In ths Directory.

zone funny thing l have learned
about human nature" said the drug
store cashier, "is the habit many peo-
pie have OF marking their own names
In the city directory. They do that BE-
cause the directory Is the only plaCs
where their names ever get into print,
and 1t has such a fascination for them
that they can't resist calling attention
to it. A funny old man who likes TO
talk tells me that he has made special
trips to different parts Of the city just
to mark his name In the directories or
the netghborhOOd. He puts a little
cross IN red ink before it. / asked him
what good 1t did. He said none posi-
bly,, although he is a teacher OF Ian
guages and may get few calls on ac-
count OF that queer advertisement.
But his is an exceptional case. Not
many persons spend time and money
hunting city directories. but every
time they happen to see a new one
they can't help looking up their names
and putting some kind of a mark
around them"-New York Sun.

ParEIan IaatE.

An exceedingly ugly man, says the
Persian Joe Miller. was once In the
mosque, asking pardon of Allah for
his sins and praying to be delivered
from the fires Of hell. One who over
heard his prayers said to him: 'Where-
fore, o friend, wouldst thou cheat hell
Of such a c0untenance7 Art thou re-
luctant TO burn up face like thatT'
Another story the Persian jester tells
2s that certain person with hideous
nose was once on a time wooing wo-
man. Describing himself to her and
trying to make an attractive picture,
be said, 81 am a man devoid OF light
ness and frivoIity, and l am patient in
bearing af1ictiOnsv'
Aye" said the woman. "Wert thou
not patient in bearing affections thou
hadst never endured thy nose these
forty yearST
All of which is more witty than kind

MaIkinn.

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with a single superfuOus part
Every inch OF every foot is meant for
use. When a man walks in the right
way, speaking literally, the back OF the
heel strikes the ground first Then the
rest Of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge Of the foot takes
the bulk OF the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight TO
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe IS the movement. Try It
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way. and what poor LO doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard
