Quaint Oath.

In the Isle of Man many curious and
quaint customs still survive. especially
in connection with the machinery of
the law. The oath administered to
the high court judges is a good illus
tration. 1t runs:
BY this book "a Bible) and the con-
tents thereof, and by the wonderful
works that God hath miraculously
wrought in the heaven above and the
earth beneath in six days and six
nights, | do swear, that l will. with
out respect of favor or friendship, loss
or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy
or malice, execute the laws of this
isle justly between party and party as
indifferently as the herring backbone
doth lie in the midst of the fish. So
help me God and the contents of this
book
1t will be observed that this Is not
merely an oath, but a declaration OF
Christian faith, and a reference to
what was at one time the great indus
try of the isle-herring fishing. The
Green Bag.

FRIENDS ALL
WANT IT..

Mrs. d. B. Simmons of Slick, Ark,
writes: 81 tried one bottle of Ford's Hair
Pomade and found it to be the best prep
aration 1 have ever used. 1t stopped
my hair from falling out and breaking
off and my hair is now as soft as it can
be and is longer than it has been for a
long time. My friends all want it.
Fords Hair Pomade, the old, reliable
dressing for stubborn, curly hair makes
harsh hair more pliable, glossy and
easy to comb. Try it and Ford's Royal
White Skin Lotion, for the complexion.
For sale by druggists, accept no other,

still Better Avoid II.

Profanity is the expression of the
vocal underscore; the thunder rumble
of the man at bay; the de profundis of
supreme crisis: the falsetto high pitch
of ecstasy: the double bass of exhaust
of the vials of wrath; the involuntary
discord of shock and surprise; the
dulcet heart string solo of philosopher

barefoot encountering sharp-pointed
hardware in the halls OF night: the
medium of malediction against stalled
motor cars. umpires without the prop

subsistence into picturesque adjeo-

Gray-Leaved Plants.

Next to green, gray is the restfulest
and most satisfactory color to be had
in foliage. We now have so many
hardy plants with gray foliage that we
can choose one for each mouth of
bloom and color of flower
Among them are the silvery milfoil,
golddust, the white and purple rock
cress, the woolly-leaved chickweed,
many hardy pinks. Siebolds day lily,
Fischer's horned poppy, lavender cot
ton, woundwort and woolly thyme.
Some of these are decidedly slvery.
Others incline to a blue cast, which is
most pronounced in the globethistles
and seahollies. Such colors are so un-
usual in nature that 1t is easy to over
do them in gardens.

How Sherman Maintains Order.

Vice President Sherman desires to
maintain order in the senate, and fire.
quently calls down the body in gen.
eral terms without singing out any
particular man. It often happens that
when a dry and prosy speaker has the
floor a group of senators will begin
telling stories and make great deal
of confusion with their laughter On
one occasion group was listening 10
Senator Taylor of Tennessee, and the
mirth was rather uproarious. They
paid no attention to the gavel of the
vice president nor to the frowns Of
the speaker.
Finally Sherman sent a note to the
group which read, IF that fellow who
is making a speech is interfering with
one of Bob Taylor's stories. l will call
him to order

Learning Through Trials.

God educates men by casting them
upon their own resources. Man learns
to swim by being tossed into lifes
maelstrom and aeft to make his way
ashore. No youth can learn to sail
his life-craft in a lake sequestered
and sheltered from all storms. where
other vessels never come. Skill
comes through sailing ones craft
amidst rocks and bars and opposing
fleets, amidst storms and whirls and
counter-currents. Responsibility alone
drives man to toll and brings ont his
best.-Newel Dwight Hills.

One day recently Mr.. Taft was on
a shopping expedition in Washington.
At his side walked Maj. Archibald
Butt, his military aid A few PAGES in
the rear were two secret service
agents. At Fourteenth and F streets
stood an aged negro. typical of the
halcyon days of "OI Virginny." His
hair was gray, and he leaned heavily
upon a gnarled. unfinished hickory
stick. His head was bent by the
weight of years; in his lusterless eyes
was a look of perplexity. Suddenly
he beheld the approaching form of the
president and shambled forth from
the protecting wall of the Ebbitt
house.
"'Scuse me, sah," he said. touching
his battered hat politely, as he barred
the presidents progress; but kin yo'
please be SO kind as to form me whar

The president smiled; Major Butt
looked puzzled; and the secret service
men sprang forward.

ably; you walk one block to the treas

blocks to your right, and then one
block to your left. But what takes
