The connoisseur's Surprise.

An amusing story at the expense of
a certain high French official is told by
a Paris contemporary. He was show
ing one Of his friends the magnum opus
of his collection Of pictures. land
scape of the environs of Paris, and de-
plotting the city as 1t was in Courbet's
time. There could be no doubt as to
the authenticity of the picture, for 1t
bore the signature Of Courbet in red.
The visitor pointed out that the horizon
was dirty and would be improved by
the application of a cleansing liquid
A bottle was requlsitioned and some
of the chemical gently applied with a
brush. Then was seen a delightful
little sketch of the Eiffe tower. II
may be observed that Courbet. who
was associated in the destruction Of
the vendome column. died about a
dozen years before the tower was
built.

Simplicity Of jenny Lind.

Jenny Lind must have been the most
simple. unpretending prima donna that
ever lived. When she first visited Eng
land she was bound to sing only ut the
Royal Italian Opera House. and when
commanded to sing at the queens con-
cert she was obliged to refuse. Very
sorry to be compelled to notify this.
she ordered her carriage and droveI
straight TO buckingham palace. SheI
handed her card to an official. who. notl
unnaturally. declined to take It A
higher authority happened to pass andl
took 1t upon himself to present It. AS
soon as her majesty saw II she said |
admit her by all means" Jenny Lind
appeared and said simply that she was
so very sorry 10 be unable to sing all
her majesty's concert that she thought
II better to call herself and explain.
The queen was charmed with Der nat
ural manner. gave her a cordial recep-
ton and promised to be her friend.

Battle of Armaueddon.

Readers of the Bible know that the
battle Of Armageddon. which in the re-
vised version is Harmageddon. Is to be
the last conflict between the hosts OF
the Lord and all the powers OF dark
ness. 1t is prophesied In Revelation
xvi. 16, And he gathered them to-
gether in a place called In the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon." The name comes
from har megiddo, the mountain dis
trict of Meglddo-the mountain land OF
Israel. There Is where the stars
fought against Slsera. as narrated In
the book of Judges, and where Josiah
rebellious king Of judah, was slain by
Pharaoh. king of Egypt The battle
of Armageddon" is used symbolically
to describe any great conflict. but in its
original meaning 1t referred to the
final struggle which Is to precede the
millennium.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Easily Reconstructed.

The professor was in the exaltedly
platitudinous mood that sometimes
masters the wisest OF men. As be
tween alternate sips of morning coffee
and bites of bacon he read the editorial
articles in his newspaper, he remark
ed to his wife that if we ''knew what
our forefathers talked about at the
breakfast table we could make history
live"
Now, Mrs. Professor is n plain, prac-
teal woman. with a sense of humor
and much experience with profess
serial moods. She thought to herself
that it is rather fortunate on the whole
that history does not depend for Its
existence on breakfast table topics.
But she said demurely:
at would be something like this, |
think: Where's my newspaper This
coffee Is cold. The toast Is burned.
This is a bad egg. Where do you buy
this butter? For goodness sake. keep
those children quiet! Well, now j

A learned English Judge asked a
woman to marry him because she,
knowing his weakness. had mixed a
salad so artistically that he declared
he could not live without eating an
other. The Judge soon repented of
his folly. The lady had foolish ma

her husband that he would prolong

ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE MoTOR-TRUCk AND THE
PARCELS POST.

The far-reaching influence that the
new parcels post will have on the
motor-truck trade in general is the
subject of an article by Thaddeus S.
Dayton in the issue of Harper's
Weekly for December Z. With the
enormous new business that is sure
to come to the postoffice after Jan
uary z will come demand for some
more speedy and more economical
means of transporting mail matter,
says this author. Unless all forecasts
are wrong the horse-drawn wagons
now in use will be quite inadequate
Tor the coming flood of packages, and
motor-trucks will have to take their
place. 1t has been estimated that, to
provide this new service, investments
aggregating tens of millions of dollars
Will have to be made by the govern
ment within two or three years.
And that's why Senator Bourne has
asked Governor Colquitt to designate
certain highways in Texas as federal
roadways. In complying, Governor
Colquitt has laid out nine of such
federal highways in Texas, and BRYAN
is on one of the most important of
them all, north and south line run.
