Teeth and Wisdom.-T shall be
dreadfully stupid now," said the wife
who had Just returned from the den-
lists.
why so, my dear?" asked her hus-
band.
Il have had all my wisdom teeth
pulled out" she replied. ....
"Of course, my love-" said the hus-
band, with the best intention in the
world, you know it is nothing but
superstitious idea that wisdom teeth
have anything to do with wisdom. II
you were to have every tooth in your
head drawn it couldn't make you any
more stupid, you know"
He succeeded after a while II
smoothing matters out, but 1t was
narrow escape-New York Post.

In an Emerseney.-A motorist tells
this one on himself: Trying out a new
car on the road between Cedar Grove
and Great Notch, he stopped to pick
up an old farmer who looked as If he
might like a ride and who admitted
that it was his first experience in ar
automobile. The machine was hitting
a pretty good clip when it skidded on
soft spot and ran into a tree. Nobody
was hurt, but as the ruralite picked
himself up he said to the motorist:
We'll, that was going some. Bu'
say mister, there's one thing I'd like tC
ask you: How do you stop one Of
these contraptions where there amt ne

prison, the marquis was determined Il
profit by the lessons he had received
He was going to be virtuous anG
abandon the fieshpots. But presently
he came to a place where little game
always was in progress, and he took d
hand. So for time he led the ole
life, borrowing money, drinking and
gambling, and getting into debt deeper
every day. One day he was proceeding
along the street, with bad taste in
his mouth, wondering where he might
raise the price. He turned to his SER
want, who was following him, and
naming a number of former friends
instructed him to call upon them and
borrow money.
Its no use," said the servant, who
had been sent upon many similar er-
rands, only to be kicked out; nobody
will lend you any money"
Such an affront from a servant was
more than the blue blood Of the mar
quis could endure. 1t boiled in his
veins. Drawing his sword, he slew the
unfortunate servitor in his tracks, and
then went his way, meditating upon
the insolence Of the lower classes. His
surprise was great when he was ar
rested and taken to jail. Things were
indeed come to a pretty pass IL a man
Of his lineage could be incarcerated
for such a trif1ing matter as stabbine
a servant.
The evidence against him was con-
elusive and he didn't deny any Of 1t
and the jury had the execrable taste Ii
find him guilty and he was sentenced
to death. The marquis simply couldn't
believe 1t. Such a miscarriage Of JUS
tice in a civilized country was an i'm
possibility. The matter must be
brought to the attention Of the king
who wouldn't stand for such an out
rage. 1t was taken to the king and
there was nothing doing. Even his SIS
ter could help him no. more. Her in
fluence was exerted in vain.
On the morning Of March II, 171S
the marquis was instructed to prepare
for the melancholy journey to Tyburn
The plain people had been assembled
there since daybreak to see him suffer
and it wouldn't do to keep them wait
ing much longer. The condemned man
paid no attention to the appeals Of the
ordinary (chaplain), but spent his time
denouncing a country which would put
nobleman to death for the killing OF
servant. He pointed out that things
were conducted much better In Italy
where there always was sanctuary fol-
distinguished man who didn't wish
to be arrested. He predicted the de-
cline and fall of a government which
indorsed such a proceeding as his exc
cution.
Arrived at the gallows, his indigna-
ton was doubled when he found that
he was to hang with plebian muir
derer. He protested so bitterly that the
executioner granted his request to be
turned off first, and he had the melan-
choly satisfaction Of dying alone

"Copccrs Pitch"
BY Frank Dandy. The Macmilla n
Co, OF New York. S135 net.
Frank Dandy is writer of cxtraor-
dinnry power, Her books first created Il
sensation because, along with their
elemental force OF expression, there WAS
tone quality in them that reached
the consciousness OF the reader and
made itself felt as truth.
Pigs in Clover did not win its way
because the public specially liked it.
or profcsscd to approve of it. 1t told
disa greeable truths plainly. and many
members OF society prefer to live in q

and to keep II smooth and undisturbed.
They have the attitude Of Mr.. Pod =

ceases for them 10 exist, SO Pigs in
Clover excited discussions in various
degrees. But il was read.
Concert Pitch" is g more finished
production. 1t has less of the South
African ferNidness of flavor; the story
snacks less OF land where action is
shaped by ardent and primitive i'm
pulses. rather than by conventional
lies which form the upper crust OF life
in other countries
The scenes in Concert Pitch" have
English or Italian setting. Frank
DANNY is n character artist of acumen.
Consequently. her light and good -hu-
mored flickings, in presenting the Lon
a member, gives her work the Zip of
lively sarcasm that is free from bitter
ness.
At the head or the household is a
rulGarly rich stepmother and a weak
father, altogether under her control.
There are two children by first mar
rage, 4 son and daughter. The son Is
kind-hearted and fond of his sister, bur
he is idle and eNtravasant in his tastes,
constantly in need of money, and as
the stepmother holds the purse strings,
lie cannot be dependent in speech or ac-
lion.
The one active rebel of the family Is
the daughter Manuella, born with an
alien strain. and inhcriting the rich,
dark beauty OF her mother.
The dominating spirit of the elder
woman and her hope to crafty soar
ing social ambitions through an advan-
tageous marriage of Manuella drive
the girl away from home and force
her TO make a runaway match with a
man she does not love, rather than re-
main "a chattel TO be disposed OF to the

Manuclla's husband has a career He
