ties. For instance, he smoked tobacco
all day long; he could never learn to
close a door after him; he stuck the
knife into his mouth instead OF the
fork; he went about in the house with
his hat on; he manicured his nails In
the middle Of the atelier. and at night
he had TO have three mugs Of ale. He
was full Of faults"

A Scotch story is that of diminu-

who was in the habit when out parad-
ing With his comrades of walking by
sound and. not by sight owing to his
drum being so high that he was unable
to see over 1t. The band, on Satur.
day afternoons, paraded usually In
one direction. but the other day the
leader thought he would change the
route little. and turned down a by
street. The drummer, unaware Of this
movement, kept on HIS accustomed
way, drumming as hard as ever he
could. By and by, after finishing his
part. and not hearing the others, he
stopped, and, pushing HIS drum to one
side, he looked to see what was the
matter. His astonishment may be
imagined at finding that he was alone.
