Expenslve Luxury.

Richard Harding Davis, who knows South America intimately, told, at g luncheon at the Philadelphia club, a South American story.
 "The Florida in Buenos Ayres," ha said, "is very elegant and charming, but in the past the young men were too prone to accost the beautiful women shopping and promenadins there.
 Accordingly, a law was passed which imposed a fine of $50 on any one who should dare to accost or an noy in the slightest degree any lady In Buenos Ayres."
 MT. Davis paused.
 Since the passage of that law" he said solemnly, 'the Florida has be come quite safe; but when a beauti full woman walks in it the young meL hover near her, murmuring in loN and ardent tones:
 " T wish had $50.'"

Honeat 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 a member of the supreme court of a western state, who began his career by running for con- yress. The story was told to me by one of the workers who secured his election.
 "One day the candidate met me" said my informant, to whom I had been introduced by a practical poll hcian, as he took me into his conf dence and began to talk as one briber might to another, land asked me how things were going in certain dis trict-
 "'Fine. replied You will have a good majority there.'
 T am not surprised,' he said en- Enthusiastically. When was speaking there made the best speech that made in the whole campaign"
 The worker nudged me as he said: Tt cost us Just $7,OOO to win that par ticular district for him, and he thought his speech did it."-The Forum.

sldeIIuht on LIoyd.eeorue.

On the day Lloyd-George became chancellor of the exchequer he left the house with a friend of his boy hood (and his love of old friends Is not the least attractive phase of his character). As they talked of his ad- vancement he said: 'In all my ca reer I do not remember a hand be- Ing held out to me from above and and a voice saying: ''Dring 1 fynoy yma' (climb thou up here). But don't misunderstood me-" he went on, there have been thousands of hands which have pushed me up from be- hind" He does not forget these hands. He does not forget from whence comes his authority and his commission. There have been times when one has feared-times when his light anchorage seemed in danger Of yielding to the impact of opportun- ism. But that memory of his own people, that loyalty to the inspiration of the mountains and the simple tra- ditions of his fathers has saved him and will save him--Loudon Daily NpWa

Delicate Plant.

'"The flower of the air" is a plant found in Chilli and also in Japan. This appellation is given to it because 1t has no roots, and is never fixed to the earth. It twines round dry tree or sterile rock. Each shoot produces two or three flowers like a lily-white transparent, and odoriferous. It is capable of being transported two or three hundred leagues, and vegetates as it travels, suspended on twig.

One way to preserve old photo graphs is as follows: Put the photo graphs into clean. hot water; very soon the pictures loosen and may be easily removed from the cards. When dry. either trim down, to economize space, or carefully cut away the back ground entirely. Mount them in a scrap book or a book made especially for kodak pictures. You will then have a book with which you can spend many happy moments looking over familiar scenes and faces.-Na- tional Magazine.
