She was going to get of the car a

a shiny tip. The woman sitting next

she determined to risk 1t anyhow and

She dabbed-blindly and hurriedly.
But the woman saw her. She could
feel the glare turned in her direction.
Then, to her infinite amazement, the
woman whipped open her reticule and
extracted a small mirror. This she
handed to her neighbor with an I'M

HIS SECURITY WAS ASSURED

Of Slipping on Polished

One OF New York's leading actors
has an elegant country home out In
Long Island, and he has spent a great
deal OF money In fitting it up with
costly decorations and exquisite finish
ings. The library was recently refur-
nished with most expensive floor Of
beautiful parquetry, In which the
owner felt a great degree Of pride and
Of which he was scrupulously careful.
A few days ago an old friend Of the
good old road days learned how well
he was prospecting and went out to
call ON him. He had met with re-
verses financially, and. also with the
physical misfortune of an amputated
leg, in place Of which he wore a wood
en- one.
When the servant announced him In
the library the host went In and was
Mortified to see the man stumping
about the floor with the wooden leg,

A method for sterilizing milk with

claimed to have been effectively dem
onstrated recently in Holland. An ap-
paratus has been constructed, 1t is
explained, whereby the milk flows in
a thin stream along an electric light,

Daniel and the Ilons-

And 1t came to pass that Daniel
was cast into the den of lions by or

Early the next morning King Darius
went to the Gen, rolled away the
stone, and called out: do the lions
bite?"
Not unreasonably," replied Daniel,
who was well up in the legal vernacu-

he rolled back the stone. Thereupon
he went forth and proclaimed to the
multitude that the lion question had
been solved.-Puck.

Chinese Chorus Girls.

In some Chinese theaters the stage
manager has an economical custom
of employing dummy figures cut out
of cardboard and the like, to swell
the ranks of the chorus without at the
same time swelling the salary list.
Obviously, such a device would never
do in this country, for a cardboard
chorus girl would hardly satisfy the
matrimonial requirements of our gild-
ed youth. In China it is most unusual
for women to appear on the stage, and
the feminine roles are taken by boys.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
AN MAN WHO WAS
LOYAL TO AMERICA.
By A. w. MACY.

John Cartwright was the first
English writer who openly ad-
Vocated the independence Of the
United States Of America. He
had the courage Of his conVic-
tions; for, though a prominent
naval officer, with a fine pros
pect for advancement, "he re-
fused" as his epitaph says, "to
draw his sword against the ris-
ing liberties of an oppressed
and struggling people," Lord
Howe invited him to join an ex-
petition against the Americans.
Though passionateIy attached
to the navy and great admirer
of Howe, he answered that he
could not engage In an unjust
war. That refusal ended his
naval career, and he turned his
attention to political and social
reforms. He started the move
ment that finally overthrow the
rotten borough" system in Eng
land. In his work for reform
he made many powerful enc
niles, and when eighty years
old he was arrested and tried
for being "a malicious, sedItlous
and evil-mlnded person." Tho
Jury, obeyIng tho instructions Of
a political Judge, found him
guilty, and he was fined 6 100
But he did not care much for
a little thing like that.
