Demuth. Il watched their behavior
and was surprised to ind they had no
dificulty in Tying out at the open car

car. The car was going at the rate OF
80 or 40 miles an hour. In my opin-

ALL ALONE IN THE STORM
Inside, the Merry Country Party
VOTED Not Of the ForIorn Figure
Out In the Cold.

1t was bitter cold. The snow fell
thickly, and, driven by the wind, it
beat relentlessly against the faces of
those who were not sheltered. A wild
night, indeed. Midwinter, and in the
open country, and one of the coolest
nights in the memory of the Oldest in
habitant.
He stood not far from the winding,
snowbound road, his face turned to-
ward the highway. A forlorn object
In that great storm.
His old felt hat, jammed roughly on
his head, but Unprotected his face and
ears from the chilly blasts. He wore
no overcoat, only a light and much
frayed jacket, more fitted, indeed, for
summer weather than the zero tenn
perature of that night His hands
were unprotected by gloves, while his
trousers, thin and worn, fluttered
about his legs. He wore no shoes.
Inside the great farm, close by, the
lights blazed merrily, and through the
windows. from which the shades were
drawn, could be seen many young peo-
pie passing hither and thither. A
merry country party-youth and
laughter.
And now through the storm others
make their way to the farmhouse.
They are bundled up warm and CON-
Portable, and defy the snow and the
cold. They are happy in the antieipa-
ton Of the joyful evening before them.
Care and worry have no part in their
minds.
They do not know that close by
stands that illclothed figure, with
arms stretched appealingly forth, and
II they knew there would be no pity
Ia their hearts.
For 1t was only the old farmers

CHANGE IN CANDLES LUCK
Finds a IS Bill, Then Two Tens, but
the Next Find Is Something
Else.

George Gamble struck a streak Of
luck the other day. Mr.. Gamble, In
cidentally, is manager Of the Pere
Marquette fast freight line. He walk
ed into a hotel in Kansas, and there,
upon the lobby floor, he saw small
green wad. "A IS BILL" marveled Mr..
Gamble when he unrolled 1t.
a week or so later he ambled into
the lobby of another hotel in another
state. The first thing his eyes lit
upon was a pellet Of green near the
clerks desk. Business of making a
hurried dive for it and then discover
ing two $40 bills, packed together.
Mr.. Gamble observed that he was
sure enough in the middle of the lucky
curve. He wondered what he would
find next.
He came to town, walked into the
Cadillac, and there, in the middle of
the lobby floor, appeared that familiar
little emerald bulb. Mr.. Gamble
sided toward it, trying to look as if he
was looking another way. Just at
that moment a small dog butted in.
He seized the little green wad and
frolicked toward the street. Mr.. Gam
BILE abandoned his pretense at indif-
ference and dived for the mutt.
"Grab um." begged Mr.. Gamble;
"catch um."
A gentleman standing by the door
obliged. He took the little bundle out
of the dogs mouth; then he looked
up at Mr.. Gamble. This yours?" he
! asked.
Mr.. Gamble thought he would take a
chance. yep" he said; "it's mine.
just missed it,"
The gentleman handed over the bum
die with an odd look at Mr.. Gamble,
and went away hastily. Mr.. Gamble
examined it, The wrapper was of
soft green paper. 1t had broken in
several places from the dogs teeth.
Inside was a pair Of lady's garters.-

Indian Turned the Joke.

The death of Chief Saucy Calf of
the Osages at Pawhuska, Okla, and
the suspicious circumstances sur
rounding his sudden departure for the
happy hunting ground recalls a story
they tell at Pawhuska on the chief.
The greatest honor an Usage can con-
fer on a friend is to trade names with
him. Sassy" Calf being of genial
nature, traded names with half the
male residents of Pawhuska. He did
most of his trading at the McLaugh-
lin-Farrar store, where he always
greeted the senior partner with How
Sassy Calf?" Mclaughlin always re-
piled, Hello, Mac" One day Sassy
Calf appropriated McLaughlin's office
chair and cooked his feet on the mer-
chants desk. Mclaughlin entered and
said jocularly: Hello, Mac, want to
get S. worth of bacon and charge it
to me-" "Nuthin' dom, Sassy Calf"
rejoined the chief without a smile.

CHILDHo0D'S OATH IN COURT
"cross My Heart and Hope to DE-"
Causes Merriment In Atlanta
Hall Of Justice.

That childhood oaths are dearer to
her than that prescribed by the code
of Georgia, and carry more meaning
than any set form used in criminal
courts, was shown by Miss Mccall, a
pretty and attractive young woman
who was called to the witness stand
in the Fulton superior court.
The prosecuting attorney was en-
deavoring to confuse her on cross-ex-
animation, and was endeavoring to i'm
press upon her the fact that she
could not possibly remember a seem
lngly unimportant incident which hap
pened on December %, 1911.
"Are you sure about that? he
queried, gazing at her sternly.
Yes, SIR" she answered positively,
smiling and showing an attractive line
Of white teeth.
But will you swear to it," he
asked. Remember an oath is a sol.
emn thing"
Hold up my right hand and cross
lay heart" she earnestly answered
and then gazed around in mild aston.
ment at the outburst of merriment
which rippled across the court room
carrying many back to their younger
days, when Gross my heart and hope
to die" was the most solemn Of al
oaths.-Atlanta Constitution.

Queer Audience Views Comedy.


A four-act comedy recently given by
the New York School for the Hard OF
Hearing, created singularly weird
impression amongst those present
who were not familiar with lip read
ing and the sign language. Words
were used, but they we're not meant
to be heard, for the players and most
of the audience were deaf. Cues and
clever lines alike we're read, not
heard, and the lips of the silent speak
ers were the media. Even the hand
clapping, with which. some of the
audience, unfamiliar with the conven-
tions of the lipo-drama, were prompt
ed to express their applause, was dis
couraged by the knowing ones, who
seemed to manifest their approval by
an airy wave of the hand aloft. In
the longer play presented, pity was
taken upon that portion of the audi
ence which. though able to hear, was
so ill-eQuipped as not to be able to
read the lips of the performers. SO
In MANY Slip 'Twixt the Girl and
the Lip" the lines were read out
loud, even though they were not
heard by any of the members Of the
cast.

SEEK SWORD OF sULEIMAN
II Is Generally Believed That the "a
nous Weapon ls Now In q Lon
don Antique Shop.

The famous sword Of suleiman,
which disappeared from the Turkish
treasury IN the reign Of Sultan Abdul
Hamid, is believed to have been sold
to some dealer in antiques in London
or Paris. Tahir Pasha, to whom the
sword was given by Abdul just before
the latter was deposed, has told the
Constantinople police that Il was
buried in subterranean passage in
the Yildiz Kiosk, boz he has forgotten
the exact place.
Tahir was a favorite Of Abdul, and
the story is that Tahir received the
sword from Abdul, although II be-
longed to the state, as a reward for
espionage. When the constitutional
government supplanted Abdul Hamid
a fruitless search for the sword was
made. Recently the war minister re-
ceived an anonymous letter saying
that the sword was in Tahir Pasha's
possession. This led to a search of
Tahir's house. Following Tahir's state
ment that the sword is buried in the
Yildiz Kiosk excavations are being
made in that palace. The police doubt
Tahir's story.
The sword of Suleiman the Magnif.
cent was one Of the most valuable
relics in the possession of the Turkish
government. Following little habit
he had, Abdul Hamid added it to the
collection of priceless works of art
and jewelry in the golden cage" OF
the Yildiz Kiosk.

Honor of College Students.

Abuses Of liberty, as well as nearly
all other college delinquencies, can
be largely prevented by a consistent
appeal to the undergraduates sense
of honor, according to Clayton Sedg-
wick Cooper, writing in The Century

Recently" adds Mr.. Cooper, 4 asked
the president of North Carolina col
lege what he Regarded as the chief
characteristic of American students.
He replied promptly, College honor
At Princeton, at the University Of
Virginia, at Amherst and at many 9TH
or institutions the honor system in
examinations, arranged and managed
by students, represents the deliberate
intention of the undergraduates to do
the square thing. These laws, which
the students voluntarily impose upon
themselves, are enforced more Vigor-
ously than the rules Of the faculty"
