That woolns Ham.

Ham, 1t has always seemed to us,
varied more than any other articles
over which blessings are mumbled in
degree to palatableness, fragrance
and invitation. The variation is due
to the manner of approach. If per
son is off his appetite, ham does the
best when served as an Arizona break
fast-something else for the man and
the ham for the dog.
But supposing you have been hunt
ing, rising early and staying late.
You have lost your lunch. You have
to trudge home over hard road. You
pass a farmhouse, and from its open
door there comes the sound of siz-
zling ham and the heavens breath of
its perfume. 1t matters not If that
ham sprang from razorback hog in
the wilds of Arkansas, you recognize
that that ham is the most glorious
flower that grows, the worlds desire,
the inner fountain of Eden, the pillar
of fire by night. the sweet Influences
Of the Pleiades and the deliverance
from envy, hatred and malice and all
uncharitableness. For the next three
miles you can't say word to your
companion because Of a watering
mouth.

MOST PATIENT OF THIEVES
In San Francisco 4 Man Was DIseov-
cred Stealing the Parts Of
Keller Skates.

Out at the Coliseum skating rink
there has been discovered evidence
Of one Of the most patient and hope
full thieves In America. A day or
two ago he undertook to steal a pair
Of skates piecemeal, but the evil
dence Of his work was discovered and
he remains In possession of three
wheels, bolt or two and a couple
Of pieces Of metal that can be of no
earthly use without the remaining
sections Of the skates, which remain
in. possession Of the management. To
compensate for the loss the Coliseum
stands in possession of one felt hat,
with the name Of the dealer cut out
Of the band and gap where the
owners initials were carried.
To evade the regulations of the
rink the optimistic crook was obliged
to carry an extra hat or cap and q
set of tools which enabled him to
take the skates apart. The unpur-
loined portions were discovered by q
special policeman in an unfrequented
corner of the pavilion.-San Francis.

Napoleon on Shakespeare.

1t is q fact that the great emperor
Of the French had very poor opinion
Of Shakespeare's plays. According to
Thibaudeau, in his "Bonaparte and the
Consulate" Napoleon said one day:
Shakespeare was forgotten even by
the English for two hundred years, un-
til Voltaire took 1t into his head to
write him up, to please his English
friends; and ever since people have
gone about repeating that Shake
speare was the greatest author that
ever lived. have read him, and there
is nothing In him that approaches
Corneille or Racine. His plays are
not worth reading"
