Made Up in Quantity.

An old colored woman, who had
grown gray and bent In the service
of the family who had raised her from
childhood, was not gifted with an
overabundance of gray matter, and
her mistakes and queer ideas fur
nished much amusement to those
about her.
One day a Yorkshire pudding that
she had made for dinner did not seem
quite as it should be, and the mis-
tress called Eunice and said; What
is the matter with the pudding,
Eunice; did you make 1t In the usual
way?"
"Yesm'm," said Eunice.
How many eggs did you put in
it?"
"Six."
"Six!" exclaimed the mistress;
"why, the recipe only calls for four!"
"Yesm'm, l know" said Eunice;
''but they weren't very good, so I
put in more Of EN-"

InaurIna Identification.

Persons who expect to receive
money orders in a strange town take
Infinite precautions to identify them
selves" said a postal clerk, Zone way
that particularly commends itself Is
for the stranger to call on tie paying
teller in the money order department
before his own order arrives and pre-
sent bunch of correspondence show
Ing pretty clearly who he is. He then
explains that he is expecting a money
order from certain person; can the
clerk remember him when he presents
1t for payment?
"Afte that impressive introduction
the clerk usually can remember, and
when the order is presented he cashes

Surprise Boxes In Shark stomach

Surprise Boxes In Shark stomachs.
Fishermen in the Caribbean sea re-
Gently found in the stomach of a shark
which they had killed a good sized
bottle in which was half-decipher-

Many such relics have been found. In
one case a lady's bracelet was found
in a state of perfect preservation, to-
gether with silver spoon and a thou
sand Spanish reals In money, The
curious feature of the finding Of the
money was that it was in an official
receptacle lost In the city of Spanish
Town (Jamaica) during a negro upris-
ing in the seventeenth century. Where
had 1t been meantime? Surely not in

If In the sea it would have been rem

Had 1t been in the possession of some
one shipwrecked, why had it been left
intact? The conclusion was newt
able that the shark must have fished
1t out from a compartment of some
long-submerged vessel. - Harper's

The Inscription on the Pantheon.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Above the portal of the Pantheon in
Paris is the inscription: AUX grands
hommes la patrie reconnaissance, which.
being interpreted, is. THE grateful
country to her great men,
The story is told that a country boy
came to Paris to be educated.
He visited the Pantheon. He was awed
by the illuStrious names that surrounded
him as the guide conducted him through
the vaults. He was shown the monu-
ments to Voltaire and Rousseau, and
the tonlbs of Victor Hugo Marshal
Lannes and others. Finally the guide in
Dictated a receptacle in which, he said,
were the remains of fifty-siX great men,
The simple boy thought that would be a
good opportunity to acquaint himself
with the heroes of his native land So
he stopped and learned by heart the
ffty-siX names.
Later when he was asked in a written
examination to give the names of some
of the great men of France he wrote
down the illustrious fifty-six.
He was amazed when the professor
marked him zero and sharply repri-
manded him for attempting to perpe-
trate a joke.
All of which throws a sharp light on
the humbuggery of alleged greatness.
1t has been assumed for some thou
sand years or so that greatness and
prominence mean the same thing.
1t is assumed that the man who is
born king is greater than all the other
babies born that day. and that the gen.
tleman who is elected president is
greater than the gentlemen who were
beaten.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-07-10

All of which is a delusion and a snare.
For the first thing a soul needs to learn
is that worldly success Of any kind Is nor
the test of greatness.
The man who makes millions of dollars
is not necessarily either great souled or
great minded; he simply has certain
kind of shrewdness. which is often
enough quite compatible with utter pet.
