Her Personal Plate.

A young girl who has a great many
valuable small belongings and never
loses any of them, says that it is
solely because of her plan of marking
everything distinctly with her full
name and town and country address
For her parasols and umbrellas she
has a set of small silver plates of OBJ
long shape and with screw equipped
ends, which are readily detached from
a handle and put upon another one
Her golf sticks, tennis racquets, hand
luggage and the valuable collars which
her dogs wear are marked in the
same manner and on all of her toilet
articles she has plate markings which
cannot be obliterated or easily
wrenched off.
The first cost of these plates was
not very great, although all are OF
solid silver, and they were accumu
lated so gradually that the money was
not missed from her allowance.

They Do Better in Spain.

Henry Clay Ide, our Minister to
SPAIN" said a Washington official,
''gets on well in Madrid because he
has a great affection for the Spanish
people.
'::Mr. Ide, while no champion OF
the bull fight, hates to hear the
Spaniards abused for cruelty on
this head.
HE tells an anecdote of a Span
lard travelling from San Sebastian
to Biarritz in first class compart-
ment with an American.
You Spaniards are a great ma
tion,' the American said, but
can't understand how a nation that
produced Velasquez and Valdes can
stomach the savage cruelty of the
bull fight
"The Splniard rolled his black
eyes at this, exhaled a great cloud
of cigarette smoke and said:
You have in America a number
of societies for the prevention of
cruelty to children, l believer
Yes
"'And they do good work.
oh, splendid work.
"Now the Spaniard showed his
white teeth in a smile.
Well, senior, such societies
would be useless in my country he
said: The man who would lift his
hand against a little child has not
been born in Spain. "-[New York
