Honest Election.

Much of the grim humor one hears
among practical politicians has to do
with these incorruptibles who owe
their positions to corruption. A case
in point is that of member OF the
supreme court of a western state, who
began his career by running for con-
gress. The story was told to me by
one of the workers who secured his
election.
"One day the candidate met me, y

been introduced by a practical poll

dence and began to talk as one brfber

TEMPERAMENT is ALL RIGHT
Quality the World Seems Ever Will
ing to condone, but Beware
of Temper.

Of the prima donna who throyeth a
dish Of spaghetti at her butler the
world saith: "She hath the artistic
temperament" And of the washer
woman who scaldeth her husband
with pot Of bean soup the husbands
relatives saith: "She hath a devilish
temper"
Cultivate temperament if thou wilt
but beware of temper. The rich man,
in burst Of temper, bursteth a blood
vessel and droppeth dead. The poor
man getteth hot in the collar, and the
collar, being celluloid, igniteth and
burneth him to death. While angry
at the woman he loveth, a man mar
ryeth a woman he doth not love. And,
behold, it costeth him half his fortune
to regain his temper-and his free
dom.
Yet temper hath its uses. 1t giveth
a man courage to do that which he
lacketh the nerve to perpetrate in cold
blood. And it serveth as an admirable
excuse. If he saith: Pardon me, 1
have such an ungovernable temper"
he is forgiven, as if he were a lunatic
and not responsible.
Temper maketh Johnny to go into
tantrums. And, behold, his mother
annouHceth proudly: Johnny is such
a high-strung child. So much tempera-
ment, don't you know" Which remark
Johnny often overheareth, and, being
wiser than thou wouldst expect Of
such mother, he stringeth her some
more and himself still higher, until
father steppeth in with a shingle pad
die and breaketh the string.
Temper maketh madam to snap at
the hand of her husband when it pet
teth her. And hubby, saying; "She is
so nervous" putteth on a glove that
his hand may not be lacerated, and
caresseth her more tenderly than
ever.
Temperament, like temper, is great
ly overworked as an excuse. The
man who defraudeth the barber and
doth his best to keep the clothesclean-
er and presser from earning a living,
pleadeth in eXtenuation the poetic
temperament. And the one who keep
eth irregular hours and worse COM
pany, and whose shirt bosom feeleth
the imprint Of a rouged cheek more
often than the touch of a laundress'
hand, attributeth his delinquencies to
the Bohemian temperament. The sup
posed possession Of a literary temper
ament hath led many a woman to take
a course in the literature of the Ital-
ian renaissance when the needeth far
worse a course Of treatment by a man
Tourist, a modiste and a hairdresser.
Verify, yea, verify, a sweet temper is
more to be desired than q sweetheart,
and is easier to keep-Terren Love
Holiday, in Puck.

DANDYIsM SERVED HIM WELL
Unwilling to Go to the GuiIIotine With
out His Boots, Condemned Man
Cheated Death.

In the French Revolution a feuil-
letonist named Schlaberndorf, who
possessed considerable ability as a
writer, by heartily espousing the cause
OF the Girondists in all that emanated
from his pen rendered himself obnox-
ious to Robespierre, and at the dicta-
ton of that fierce leader was incarcer.
ated. When the death cart one morn
ing came to the prison for it's load of
those that were that day to be butch
cred, Schlaberndorf's name was on the
list of the condemned. The jailer in
formed him that such was the case,
and the writer dressed himself for his
last ride very nonchalantly and-he
was extremely fastidious as to his per-
sonal appearance-with great care.
His boots, however, he could not find.
Here, there, everywhere, assisted by
his jailer, he looked for them to no
avail.
81 am quite willing to be executed"
said he to the jailer, after their fruit
less search, "but really l should be
ashamed to go to the guillotine with
out my boots Nor do l wish to de-
tain this execution party" he added,
smiling grimly. will it make any
difference if my execution is deferred
until tomorrow? By that time l shall
probably succeed in finding my boots
Il don't know that it will matter
particularly when you are guillotined,"
responded the functionary, between
whom and Schlaberndorf there had eX-
listed a sort of friendship. Suppose
We call it tomorrow, then?"
"All right and the jailer allowed
Schlaberndorf to remain, not unwil-
lingly, as owing to his universal good
humor he was especially liked by all
the Jail attendants.
The following morning when the
cart drew UP before the prison door
for its batch Of victims Schlaberndorf,
| dressed in his best, including the boots
! that had been found, stood waiting
the summons Of the jailer to take his
place therein. Meantime, however, a
new jailer had taken the place of the
old one, the latter himself having sud-
denly been displaced by reason of sus-
| pected disloyalty to the revolutionists,
and Schlaberndorf's name was not
called that morning. Nor was it called
the next morning, nor the morning
| after that; nor, indeed, ever again. 1t
was believed by all outside of his
friends in the Jail that he had persisted
on the morning originally set for him.
He remained in prison until the sway
Of Robespierre had ended. Then he
regained his liberty, as did the rest Of
those prisoners whose heads had not
fallen beneath the blood-stained ak.

Curious White Island.

What is perhaps the most extraordl-
nary island in the world is that which
lies thirty miles to the northeast OF
New Zealand. White Island is an
enormous mass of rock nearly three
miles in circumference, rising 9OO 1eet
above the sea, and is perpetually en-
veloped in dark clouds that are visible
for nearly 100 miles. This island con-
sists almost entirely of sulphur, with
a small percentage Of gypsum. Some
years ago an attempt was made 10
float a company to work the sulphur
which is of high quality, but SUFFICIENT
capital was not subscribed. The ex-
port Of sulphur from White Island is
therefore still very small. In the in
terror is a lake fully fifty acres In ex-
tent. the water of which has tenn
perature OF 10 degrees Fahrenheit
and it is strongly impregnated with
acids. On one side Of this lake are
craters from which steam escapes
with great force and noise. This steam
and the vapor from the lake form the
dark clouds that envelop the Island

Hidden Women of Persia.

Should the women of Persia ever
get a vote, they will doubtless see
to it that the lot of their sex is con-
siderably improved, for at the pres
ent time they are regarded as nom
entities. A husband in Persia never
speaks of his wife to his acquaint-
ances, and, if obliged to mention her,
it is by some other term than wife,
as mother of my son." of my house"
She must not exist for anyone but
her husband and from all others she
must be hidden-non-existing For
this reason when the harems of gov
errors or very high personages pass
through the streets of Persia the men
whom they meet either turn their
backs or slip down a by-street or
into some convenient doorway.
On passing European, If sure that
none of her co-religionists see her, a
woman, particularly if she be young
and good looking, will often raise her
veil, from under which pair of dark
eyes follow the stranger with a curl
ous gaze.
